Chapters
Chapter 08 Gates are resources. They are also the single greatest pillar supporting modern society. The byproducts pouring out of dungeons had completely transformed the existing industrial ecosystem. First, mana stones. A high-efficiency energy source that replaces petroleum. A single mana stone the size of a fingernail could power a large bus for weeks. Monster hide and bones. Lighter and harder than conventional alloys. They're used not only for Hunters' suits and weapons,…- 2.3 M • Ongoing

- Chapter 06 *Creak…* Black sedans came to a halt one after another. The stillness of the old public apartment complex was shattered. Car doors opened, and men in suits took their positions. Soon, the door to the main vehicle opened, and a middle-aged man appeared. Association President, Go Jin-hyuk. He walked slowly toward the playground. Min Seol-hee fidgeted nervously and bowed her head. "President, for you to come here directly…" "That's enough. I've already received…

- Chapter 05 Now it was time to have a conversation with Han Man-su. However. Someone needed to look after Baek Ha-yoon in the meantime. He asked Ha-yoon for a moment's understanding. "Wait here for a bit. I need to call someone." Baek Kang-jin pulled out his smartphone from his pocket. It was the latest model that Min Seol-hui had given him. "Hello? Baek Kang-jin-ssi?" They answered as soon as the signal went through. It meant they had been waiting. "Where are you?" "I'm on…

- Chapter 04 *Clink.* Baek Hayun stopped her dishwashing hands. From the living room, a gruff voice could be heard over the TV sound. "Hey! Baek Hayun. Bring me some water." It was her uncle, Han Mansu. A middle-aged man sprawled sideways on the sofa, scratching his belly. Hayun pulled a bottle of water from the fridge. Her hands trembled slightly as she poured it into a cup. "Here you go." "Why are you so slow, kid? Can't you move with a bit of pep?" Han Mansu snatched the cup…

- Chapter 03 The occurrence of Gates is like a natural disaster. With modern humanity's technology, it's impossible to predict or control those distortions in space-time. They pour down without warning, like a summer shower. Most Gates that opened were low-ranked. Small-scale Gates that burst open regardless of location—in front of convenience stores, on school playgrounds—were the norm. These Gates were actually welcomed. Because they allowed people to obtain mana stones or…

- Chapter 02 Baek Gang-jin sat deep within a dark, gloomy cave. Scattered haphazardly across an experimental table made from the bones and hide of the dragon Valakas were countless reagents and magic circles. Ten years had already passed. But Baek Gang-jin was not impatient. To him, time was merely a resource for accumulating data and remodeling his body. ‘The human body is far too inefficient.’ Baek Gang-jin looked down at his own forearm. He could see it even without a…

- Chapter 01 "So you really have no intention of getting married?" His only older brother asked. Baek Kang-jin leaned back against the bench and replied. "No." "Why do you have to be so blunt about it? You've already established yourself well enough." "Brother. I have my own plate full. In a world where just taking care of my own life is a struggle, who am I supposed to take responsibility for?" This was genuine. The title of microbiologist. It might sound impressive on the…

Chapter 10 A short distance away from the village's bustling district, there was a low hill. If you wandered aimlessly past the low-hanging clouds and fog that shrouded the place, you would come across a small log cabin with a narrow attic on the second floor. I had been lost in thought for a while, looking over some papers, when I started walking, my footsteps crunching on the rustling leaves. Before long, I arrived at the cabin. I pushed open the creaking, lid-covered door. It was…- 1.1 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 09 'No choice.' The memory of Daniel's sticky gaze and voice from my dream flashed through my mind, and I unconsciously squeezed both eyes shut. I quickly crossed my arms over my body to block him. "No way!!" "......" Once again, a dark silence lingered. Daniel stood perfectly still without moving a muscle. Is he slowly savoring the other person's fear? What the hell, he's even scarier than Olf. Like a rat in a trap, my whole body trembled violently. Then,…
