Moments ago, when Rean went up to 28th floor.“Cadet Rean, come in. Can you get to the meeting room?” The operator, Sheena, asked.Rean who was currently pulling a Pratta from his torso and slashing it with his sword, could not answer right away.A Pratta latched onto the back of right foot and immediately took a bit of his flesh. He grunted in pain.He threw the Pratta in his hand, then he slashed the one currently biting him. That one got its head slashed, but the thorny teeth had nestled, so he still had to rip it off. It’s painful because the teeth are rather deep, but he couldn’t risk their green blood sipping into his opened wounds or he would be poisoned.He threw the dead Pratta away and slashed another one that comes near. He had been doing this for the past minutes, just slashing through monsters that their dead bodies piled up around him. There are more than five Prattas left in the hallway, but he immediately comes for them rather than waiting them to come after him.The m

My eyes twitch when I see Rean looking at me rather brightly. ‘Why you look so relieved like that, you idiot?! Hurry up and beat him!’ I don’t know what he’s thinking, but I was expecting them to have beaten him already when I finally reach this floor. But now that they haven’t and I have opened this door, I have to help them. I stretch my hand to the man I saved. “Give me that.” The man looked confused. “Huh?” I look over to him and grab his umbrella instantly, surprising him. “Big brother…?” Ruby’s cute voice asked in concern. “Don’t worry, Ruby. Stay right here with Ian and the kind sir. I’ll be right back.” I send her a smile, then I go in and close the door. I feel so cool after I said that. But the second the door closed behind me, my smile immediately drops and my right eye twitches. “Why haven’t you defeated him, Rean?!” I pointed to our enemy. “BIG TALK FOR SOMEONE WHO JUST CAME!!” Rufus yelled back at me. I send him an annoyed look. “I wasn’t talking to you.” Rufu

The last round of the grenade launcher is immediately shot, and it goes straight towards the giant canine.It hits right on its chest and explodes.Everyone on the other side of the floor all gasped in surprise.Knowing I hold the control for a few seconds, I tell the others. “Don’t just stand there! Call Rean through the Arrow and try the door again!”Guinevere immediately works on it. I can see her fiddling with her Arrow and her lips moving while Pierce and the male worker work on the door.I let them figure it out by themselves as I waste this gigantic hound’s attention.When the smoke clears, the dog is pawing its face, seemingly trying to put out the flames on the fur of its muzzle. But the coat under its jaw also suffers. Along with the fur on its muzzle, the previously shiny white coat of his front is now burnt and the skin underneath is shown.It looks like half zombie now and actually gives me goosebumps. “Ugh… You’re ugly.”The dog shakes its head and licks the wound on its

The sound is something soft and faint. It’s almost unrecognizable in the blowing wind. But I know that it’s there.I crawl to the right side of the landing area, crossing the circle.“Terrence?!” Michael followed behind me, even though I don’t know why he’s following me. “Be careful! You’re still bleeding!”Rufus and his goons glance over to watch, seemingly curious. Pierce and Guinevere only watch me while Rufus returns to his quick nap and doesn’t seem to care.When Terrence got close to the edge, Rean shouts from behind. “Be careful, Terrence!”“What is that idiot up to?” Guinevere is looking at the bright blonde in confusion.“Maybe he wants to see the scenery below.” Pierce replied.Rufus doesn’t say anything while Rean only stays silent. Only because the redhead tries to keep the secret about Terrence’s newfound ‘ability’. He doesn’t know what Terrence would feel if he tell people this, so he decided to stay quiet.I grab the landing’s edge tight and look over it. Since there’s

When I wake up, I’m in a different room. Without looking around, I can already guess that this must be the room I’ll be staying in for a couple of days.I close my eyes again and just savor the familiar scent of hospitals—which is alcohol, medicine, and alcohol.I sigh in relax.Although there is one scent that is quite out of place. It’s sweet, it’s buttery, it’s cinnamon.“I thought you hated hospitals.” Someone said beside me.It was a woman with a very familiar voice to my ears. I know her. She’ s Terrence’s mother. I’m not going to admit she’s my mom, but I respect her almost as good as her. Even though I hated Terrence for being a weakling, I don’t take the grudge on his parents.Besides, she’s sweet.“I just don’t like doctors.” I replied. Then I open my eyes to look at the beautiful woman beside me.She has blonde hair that is neatly pulled into a bun. Her pale blue eyes are calm as she peels lychees. She still looks young, but there’s evident traces of aging on her face. She’
