“Wow
”
I was amazed looking at the big field-type Rift I saw for the first time.
Large forests and wide fields spread out endlessly.
However, I couldn’t find the calmness I had when I entered the Demon world.
My body and mind rejected this space instinctively.
I can’t express it accurately in words, but I felt something unnatural as if I was in a large movie set.
While I was busy looking inside the Rift, Yerin was checking the designated location by looking at the internal map installed at the entrance.
“Area 11, Field E
 Huh?!”
“What’s wrong?”
“Oh, it’s

 close to Field Boss Area. I hope we won’t meet that piece of garbage on our way.
Yerin grumbled, saying she seemed unlucky today.
We headed to Field E in Area11 where we were assigned.
Many people were already hunting monsters in their respective places.
Some hunted alone, and several people hunted together.
After walking longer than I thought, we were able to arrive at Field E.
“Can you see the huge forest over there? That’s the Field Boss area. Maybe that human garbage and the White Tiger guild will go hunting there, in a little while.”
“It’s really close. If it’s the Boss monster, can he defeat it easily.?”
“Even though his character is rotten garbage, his skills are real deal, so he’ll easily catch the boss at this level.”
“ Well, as long as the Boss monster doesn’t go into a ‘Rampage state’ , it’s a no biggie.”
I headed to the Area11, while listening to the Boss monster’s explanation.
Each Area was separated by a fence.
The area was so wide that the situation was hardly visible in the area next to it.
Nearby, there were even rest rooms, toilets, and smoking rooms that could be used for public use.
“Finally, we’ve arrived at Area 11. Do you want to rest a bit and go in? Or do you want to go in right away?”
“I don’t mind going in right away.”
“Okay. Then shall we warm up first?”
Yerin stood up and started exercising.
“Sihyeon, what are you doing? You should also do it. Come join in”
“Huh? Me too?”
“Of course! You have to prepare you body just in case something happens.”
With Yerin’s serious and playful answer, I also began to imitate her moves.
The warm up exercise did not finish until she warmed up her whole body meticulously for about 15 minutes with a satisfied look.
“I’m done warming up. Ah! And lastly, do you see the red box next to the lounge over there? There’s an emergency phone and a first aid kit, so remember that. Shall we really go in now?”
We opened Area11 door with our access cards.
Smack

Cockiiii!
A monster that looks like a tree bark was smashed by the Yerin’s summon.
In an instant, wood debris scattered around.
Yerin and I sat on the camping chair we brought and watched it blankly.
I was a little dumbfounded by the same situation that lasted for more than an hour.
“Hey Yerin. If you know it would be like this, why did you warm up?”
“Huh? That’s kind of a habit? It’s like my own routine.”
“I see. Still, when I first heard that we will be fighting in Rift, I thought it was something serious and tense. But the reality is very different.”
“Haha! Did you expect that? I can’t go all serious in a place where beginners, and Rift miners come. If it wasn’t for your request I wouldn’t have come here in the first place.”
I nodded my head quietly at her words.
Certainly, this place was safer than I thought, and Yerin was a much stronger person than I thought.
I felt a little pathetic about the me yesterday, who was nervous about going to a Rift.
I don’t think there would be any use for the artifact I got from Andras.
“Don’t be too disappointed. Even though it’s a little boring, this is the most stable way to collect Soul stones. There’s no reason to gain experience in battles, right?”
“Yes.”
“There, even if I take a few Magic stones here, there’s no labor cost, that’s why I was fine with your request.”
I decided to take all the Soul stones from today’s hunt, while Yerin will take the Magic stones.
However, it was certainly not productive for her, a fairly capable awakener.
“I’m sorry to say this so late. I guess I shouldn’t have troubled you with this kind of request.”
“Hehe. Now you understand this Yerin’s greatness. Now that you know more about me, you should also start bringing more of aunt Saya’s foods.”
Yerin said it while patting me on the shoulder.
When I saw that, I burst into laughter.
“ Hahahah
Jokes apart. If you’re really sorry, can you do me a favor?”
“What kind of favor?”
“Do you remember when you moved my summon?”
“Oh. When we got caught up in a Rift?”
“Yes, yes. Please do it one more time like that?”
“Ah, What
?”
I made an awkward face when I heard the request.
It’s not because I didn’t want to, but because I didn’t know how to do it either.
It happened without my conscience.
I did it almost instinctively, so there was only a little thing I remember about it.
Still, I didn’t want to openly refuse Yerin’s request, who cancelled all her appointments today because of me.
I got up from the seat and approached the summon.
Yerin’s eyes full of expectations were a little burdensome.
The strong summon, which was taller than me looked down at me.
I reached out my hand carefully.
I felt the solid body that was like armor at my fingertips.
And at that moment.
Unknowingly, the ability to communicate got activated.
I felt as if my consciousness was being sucked in through my hand.
I almost let go of my consciousness for a moment due to the intense dizziness.
When I came back to my senses, I felt as if I had come to space with nothing.
When I interacted with Yakums or Speranza, I felt something kind of feeling, whether it was good or bad.
But inside Yerin’s Summon I couldn’t feel anything.
It felt like I was looking inside an empty can.
The moment when I was about to suffocate by the loneliness and emptiness of the surrounding.
A small wave was felt very far away.
It was so faint as if it would disappear any moment.
I followed the wave in the empty surrounding.
The closer I got to the  wave, the more intense the pressure was, like I was in the depths of the deep sea.
Just when something mysterious started flowing from the wave towards me


My consciousness came back

[The target is



doing


..

.]
When I opened my eyes again, I saw Yerin’s worried face.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes, I’m fine.”
“I was surprised because you suddenly collapsed. Are you really all right?
“Don’t worry. It’s normal.”
Grab
A big hand helped me raise my upper body.
The owner of the hand was Yerin’s summon.
I got up in a dazed state, supported by the Summon.
“Uh
 Thank you.”
Nod!
When I said thank you, the Summon nodded its head.
“
.?!!!”
“What

.How?”
Not only me but also my owner of the Summon, Yerin also screamed in surprise.
“How did you do that? Did he nod his head as a reply to you?”
“ Yeah
.. I think so.”
“I’ve never seen him do that before How did you make him do that? Hurry up and tell me.!”
“ Wait, wait ! Calm
.. down

”
Yerin grabbed me by the collar and shook my body roughly.
I felt dizzy again and felt like I was going to lose my mind.
At that time.
OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
A loud sound came from the area where the Boss monster was.
It seemed like the sound came from not so far away.
“What’s this sound?”
“I think it’s the sound of hunting the Boss monster. But why does it feel like I’m hearing it from so close? Usually, they hunt in the innermost part of the forest
.”
Yerin started looking around, perhaps thinking it was a little strange.
And once again, a loud sound came from the Boss area.
Owwwwooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!
A strange sound as if crying in pain was heard, and something unidentified began to fall from the sky.
Plop
Plop
The thing that fell to the ground looked like big berries.
The surrounding area quickly got filled with a rotten smell.
As soon as I tried to get closer and look closely, Yerin shouted in a loud voice.
“SIHYEON

..! Get away from that !”
“
?”
“This is the poison spore of Boss Monster. If you inhale this
 Your whole body


 par..a.lyzed

“ Yerin
.Are you okay?”
I approached Yerin, asking anxiously, when she began to stumble.
She held my hand and fell down.
In the midst of this, poison spores began to blow in all directions.
The surrounding area got filled with green smoke, making it hard to see.
After a while, the green spores began to subside,
A man appeared in the Area11 territory.
“Whew
! Poisonous spores have spread properly. I would have had a hard time without the antidote.”
Jang Hyunjae came from the cleared green smoke.
He was not affected by the poison spores.
Rather, he waited for the spores around us to subside with a relaxed smile.
“It’s time to get the gift for enduring such a sh*tty year”.
He began to look around, wriggling his hands in the air.
“Hey Seoooooo
.Where are you
.Come on, come to my arms. You f*cking b*tch
.you slapped me for lightly touching your body. Today I’m gonna rip off your clothes and touch all over your body
.Hahahahahah and you won’t be able to do anything this time.”
“Kaaahhkkk
.Kaaahhkkk
..Like I heard you really are a scumbag and human garbage.”
“What

..How come? How on earth are you in your senses?”
Jang Hyunjae confirmed my existence, freaked out, and stepped back.
Yerin was lying down next to me.
I also inhaled the poison of the spores and my whole body trembled a little, but it wasn’t enough to lose my consciousness.
[Yakum’s trust is activated]
[Resisting toxic substances affecting the body]
[Resisting toxic substances affecting the body]
[Resisting toxic substances affecting the body]
It was like the time when Ryan used his abilities on me.
Even after Jang Hyunjae appeared, I continued to resist the effect of the poison with ‘Yakum’s trust’ ability.
Meanwhile, Jang Hyunjae, who was confused by my appearance, regained his composure after confirming the appearance of Yerin, who was collapsed next to me.
“Things have become a little complicated, but it doesn’t matter. Hey you! Just leave her and run away.”
“. . . . . .”
“I don’t have bad feelings for you. What I’m interested in is that woman rolling on the ground.”
He talked as if he was being sympathetic.
Of course, I didn’t had an ounce of intention to follow the  words of that trash.
Rather, I stepped forward as if protecting Yerin and asked.
“What are you trying to do by doing this.?”
“I don’t intend to do anything bad. I’m just going to teach a lesson to that arrogant crazy B*tch lying over there.”
“You
 You are way filthier than a garbage. It will be good for you if you leave right away.”
“Hahahahahah! A newbie punk dare to threaten me.”
Jang Hyunjae snorted at my answer.
He took out the baton rod that he kept on his waist.
“Let’s see whether you can get out of here safely?”
Brrrrr
Brprrrrr
Brrrprrrrrrrr
A white light started sparkling from the tip of the rod he held in his hand.
“This is perfect for people who don’t listen like you. Don’t worry there won’t be any scar.”
I took out the artifact given by Andras.
“What? Did you really believe that, that punky artifact could save you?”
“Don’t worry. This is enough for a bugger like you.”
“

. this punk!!”
Jang Hyunjae immediately swung his baton and rushed towards me.
I believe in you Andras.
If I came back alive from here, I’ll make you a lot of delicious food.
I activated the artifact.
A blue light started flickering in my right hand.
“ Goodbye Loser
..”
Jang Hyunjae’s baton came rushing towards my head.
