The stench of urine, vomit, and stale beer hung heavy in the damp air of Sector Nine.

Jihan stood at the end of a dingy alley barely touched by the streetlights. A light drizzle soaked the shoulders of the secondhand leather jacket he had bought with the spare change from Luna's pocket. In front of him stood a solid rusted steel door, guarded by two heavily built men smoking in silence.

Thump... thump-thump......... thump.

Jihan's right hand gripped his left chest tightly. He winced through the

    Gravity vanished, replaced by the stomach-churning sensation of an endless freefall. The pitch-black void swallowed them whole. The wind roared in Jihan's ears as he plummeted into the dark chasm. He didn't panic. Panic was a luxury he couldn't afford.With his right arm still clutching Luna tightly against his chest, Jihan gritted his teeth and thrust his left hand forward. The broken steel sword in his grip sparked violently as it scraped against the jagged rocky wall of the abyss."Hold on tight, Luna!" Jihan roared over the rushing wind.He jammed the broken blade deep into a thick fissure in the cliffside. The abrupt halt nearly ripped his left shoulder out of its socket. The muscles in his aged arm screamed in pure agony, but his grip remained absolute. Using their downward momentum, Jihan swung their bodies like a pendulum, crashing them heavily into a narrow, hidden crevice carved into the side of the cliff.They tumbled onto the hard stone floor. Far above them, the teleporta

  • chapter 108 valakor, the suites hunting dog

    The dim light of the greenish campfire flickered, casting long, eerie shadows across the walls of the giant skull cave.Jihan stood completely still. His left hand gripped the hilt of his broken steel sword so tightly that his knuckles turned white. His pitch-black eyes locked onto the tall, lanky figure standing at the cave entrance.The man wore a pristine, pinstriped gray suit. His leather shoes were spotless, completely untouched by the ash and mud outside. In his right hand, he carried a sleek, black leather briefcase. However, the most disturbing part of his appearance was his head. A crumpled brown paper bag covered his face entirely. There were no eye holes. There were no breathing slits. Yet, the man seemed to look directly into Jihan's soul."Who the hell are you?" Jihan hissed quietly. His voice sounded like grinding gravel.The man tilted his head slightly, causing the paper bag to crinkle. "I apologize for my lack of manners. My name is Valakor. I am the Field Executioner

  • chapter 107 toxic meat and a dead tongue

    The air inside the giant skull cave was freezing. Jihan and Luna's breaths puffed into thick white vapor.Right in front of Jihan's eyes, the neon blue screen of the Death Bank System blinked, emitting a blinding light in the midst of the darkness.[Offering Emergency Package: Hellish Firewood.] [Collateral Price: Only 5 Years of Your Lifespan!] [Accept Contract? Y/N]"Bastard system!" Jihan cursed harshly, his voice hoarse and trembling violently from the cold.He swatted the screen away with the back of his left hand until it shattered to pieces into pixel dust. A price of five years for a pile of firewood was the most ridiculous robbery he had ever heard of. His mortal body was currently as old as a fifty-year-old man thanks to the previous penalty. If he sold another five years, his bones might instantly crumble to dust before he even got to feel the warmth of a fire."Han, you, you didn't take the package, right?" Luna's teeth chattered. The woman hugged her own knees with her le

  • chapter 106 death receipt

    The echo of the skeletal dragon's destruction still vibrated in the air, but Jihan didn't have time to celebrate.Hundreds of ice-blue eyes glowed brightly from behind the hills of bone ahead of him. The lower-dimensional debt collectors, Abyss Golems, and faceless corporate monsters in black suits swarmed down like a tidal wave.The Parasite Cast on Jihan's right arm hissed in pure joy. The symbiotic creature opened its thousands of pores again, sucking in the pure Black Essence from the Abyss atmosphere like a dying man gulping water in a desert. Massive cosmic energy flooded back into Jihan's veins."Come and get it, you dogs," Jihan hissed. He raised the broken sword in his left hand, ready to slaughter them all.But the moment he took a single step forward, something exploded inside his chest."Ughk!"Jihan vomited a massive amount of fresh blood. The blood poured out of his mouth and nose simultaneously. He dropped to his knees. A sharp, blinding pain stabbed right into his sola

  • chapter 105 the customer who brought a sward

    The skeletal dragon opened its massive jaws. An absolute cold froze the air around them in a matter of seconds.It wasn't fire that spewed from the demon's throat, but a thick gray fog that smelled like thousands of rotting corpses. The fog swept across the rocky ground at a terrifying speed. Wherever the fog touched, the grayish-red rocks at the bottom of the valley instantly weathered, crumbled, and turned into a pile of fine ash blown away by the wind."Han, watch out!" Luna screamed hysterically.She grabbed the back of Jihan's collar with her left hand, throwing both of them behind a giant bone pillar right before the fog of death slammed into their position.A loud hissing sound came from the outer side of the bone pillar. The fog eroded its surface, sending a chill that made Jihan's wrinkled skin feel like it was being sliced by thousands of razor blades."Ughk," Jihan coughed hard. His lungs, which had aged to match a fifty-year-old man, screamed in protest.Jihan leaned behin

  • chapter 104 stranded in the land of death

    It felt like every atom in his body was being forcefully disassembled, melted into a thick liquid, and then sucked at the speed of light through a very narrow plastic straw.The sensation of crossing dimensions was pure biological torture. Jihan couldn't breathe. He couldn't hear anything except a static scream tearing at his eardrums. His hand, still wrapped around Luna's waist, gripped her wetsuit tightly. He refused to let go even as space and time seemed to try and rip them apart.Then, gravity slammed back into them with brutal force.Thud!Jihan and Luna were thrown out of thin air. They tumbled hard, crashing against a dry, rough surface."Ughk!" Jihan coughed up the remaining seawater from his lungs.His bones, now as old as a fifty-year-old man's, creaked painfully. His joints felt like they had just been smashed with a concrete hammer. Jihan lay on his back, his chest heaving as he greedily gasped for oxygen.Beside him, Luna coughed violently. The woman crawled with great e
