[Third Person's POV]

The memory of their gazes on Hanibaram made Kim Dokja's face turn sour again. Talking to a manipulative bastard like Cheon Inho also drained Dokja mentally and physically. He could see Heewon pouting on the other side as well.

"Dokja-ssi, is this really a good idea?"

"Regarding the food earlier? Hush, Dokja-ssi did the right thing. Nothing in life is free, even artificial oxygen is needed for respiratory patients." Jung Heewon brushed aside Lee Hyunsung's worries.

After the declaration of 'trade' for food, many people had left. Maybe they were disappointed because they had expected Dokja to have a 'good' heart and to help them for free.

Kim Dokja, Jung Heewon and Lee Hyunsung argued for a bit, before Lee Gilyoung's voice broke the light debate.

"Dokja-hyung, Cale-hyung is awake." After a tiring debate with Cheon Inho, Dokja did not forget to introduce his two new companions to Yoo Sangah, Lee Hyunsung and Lee Gilyoung. He had briefly told them about his encounter with Jung Heewon and Cale Henituse, and how it had ended with Cale falling asleep due to exhaustion and injuries.

Without delay, Dokja immediately got up from his seat by Cale's side, who was lying down with Yoo Sangah and Lee Gilyoung watching. Jewel reddish-brown eyes opened slowly, gazing at Dokja for a moment, before looking around.

[The Constellation 'Demon-like Judge of Fire' greets Incarnation 'Cale Henituse' cheerfully!]

[The Constellation 'Secretive Plotter' greets Incarnation 'Cale Henituse' quietly.]

[The Constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' greets Incarnation 'Cale Henituse' with a smile.]

"... did I sleep for a long time?" Chuckling - which was rewarded with the other three occupants' surprised looks -, the 28 year old shook his head.

"Not really. It's only been an hour since you fell asleep, Cale-ssi."

"Hmmm, you can just call me 'Cale'. There's no need to be so formal," Hanibaram replied in a calm voice, making Dokja -almost- nod enthusiastically.

"Then call me 'hyung,' Cale." The redhead gave him a long look before snorting and not answering. Dokja refrained from frowning. He couldn't force Hanibaram at this rate, maybe one day the right time would come.

"Uh... if I may ask, who are they?" ah, how impolite of him.

"They were my companions before we met, Cale. This brave boy is Lee Gilyoung, this woman used to work in the office with me and is called Yoo Sangah, and lastly there is Lee Hyunsung, a former military officer." Reddish-brown eyes glanced at the new faces one by one before bowing politely.

"Nice to meet you, everyone. My name is Cale Henituse. You can call me Cale." Everyone nodded with a friendly smile.

"Nice to meet you, Cale-ssi. If you don't mind, how old are you? Are you in high school?" Sangah asked politely to which Cale shook his head in return.

"I'm 21 years old, Sangah-ssi." Everyone looked surprised for a moment.

"Then you are younger than me! You can call me Sangah-noona."

"Me too! Call me Heewon-noona! Or Woonie-noona!"

"Lee Hyungsung. Just call me Hyunsung-hyung."

"Cale-hyung."

Kim Dokja couldn't hide an amused smile at the red-haired man's overwhelmed face.

"And call me Dokja-hyung, Cale-ya." Those eyes with the jewel-like sparkle were now looking at him. More precisely the signature wide -sly- smile that reminded Cale of Raon's exclamation whenever he smiled the same way.

Human! Are we going to loot someone? The brownish red eyes narrowed for a moment before he sighed and nodded resignedly.

"Haahh... Sangah-noonim, Heewon-noonim, Hyungsung-hyungnim, Gilyoungie, and... Dokja-hyungnim."

Dokja was smiling really broadly now.

Dokja-hyungnim.

Hey, had nicknames ever sounded this satisfying to Kim Dokja? Well, he really liked hearing the word 'hyungnim' thrown around by his Hanibaram.

[The Constellation 'Demon-like Judge of Fire' also wants to be given a cute nickname by the Incarnation 'Cale Henituse'!]

Meanwhile Cale resignedly was looked at with expectant gazes. Moreover, the gazes of Lee Gilyoung, who was still a child (...he had a soft spot for children) and Kim Dokja...was this guy a big baby? Haahhh... let this mentally old man fulfil your weird expectations.

"Your bandages look like they need changing, Cale-ya. The stitches must have opened a bit." The happy aura full of flowers instantly broke when they heard Heewon's words.

"Ah yes, Dokja-ssi mentioned earlier that you were injured, Cale-ya," Sangah said, now looking worried.

"One moment. Let me get the medical equipment. Hyungsung-ssi, please help remove Cale's clothes," Although reluctant to ask that, Dokja moved to take a separate plastic bag containing the medical equipment, as well as opening his inventories to look for healing potions and pain relief.

When he turned around, Cale had already returned to being topless with a calm face. His head was tilted to the side, red hair messy, further softening the Hanibaram's features. Everyone blushed slightly in response, obviously not used to being presented with the mystical beauty of the Hanibaram of this world.

"Drink this, Cale-ya." The man in question nodded obediently and accepted the free potion without protest. If he wasn't asked for the payment, then Cale would just keep his mouth shut. After all, why refuse a free gift? It would really not be Cale's style at all to refuse free things.

It felt weird, Cale could not explain it. As an effect, he felt even more numb than before in the area around the wound. It seems too severe to be cured miraculously, so it was being treated manually.

Everyone, minus Dokja and Heewon, grimaced at the rough purple-black puncture wound in the heart area and the several other forms of wounds around it. They were all stunned to see it, especially Hyunsung. Such a fatal wound carry a high risk of death, Cale was lucky to have survived that wound.

And who would dare to hurt a good person like Cale?

"Hold on a minute, Cale-ya," Dokja murmured, focusing on changing the bandages, giving medicine and making sure the stitches were still good and not open. Cale on the other hand was trying hard to distract himself from the embarrassment of being stared at so intensely by the other four people.

After finishing bandaging the red-haired youth's wound, Dokja looked satisfied at his work before petting Cale's head and stroking it twice. Then he came back to his senses, eyes widening as he withdrew his hand quickly, face flushed.

"I-is the bandage okay, Cale? It's not too tight, right?" Cale nodded lightly, raising his right hand to touch the bandage. His face was pensive and fell into a serene expression, once again creating a visual that dazzled the eye, and made the viewer blush, once again.

"Thank you, Dokja-ssi, um, Dokja-hyungnim. Now, I have to pay for it, don't I?" blinking his eyes at Cale's words, Dokja then immediately shook his head.

"No. There is no need to pay for these medical supplies, Cale-ya. I accept coins from the food trade only." Cale went back to being pensive before nodding his head, not protesting anymore, afraid that Dokja would change his mind and reduce his precious 500 coins.

"Then Dokja-hyungnim, can I ask you something?" The youngest man asked as he put his shirt back on with Sangah's help and tilting his head as Heewon combed his hair, before smiling a little at Gilyoung and thanking Hyunsung for helping out earlier.

... look at this Hanibaram. He can adapt and can get along with anyone, so quickly and naturally.

"What's that?" Sitting down beside Cale, who was joined by the others -sitting in a circle-, Dokja looked at the younger man with a small smile on his face, causing the youngest man to frown for a moment. He was still feeling weird at a a guy who seemed so friendly but at the same time kept his distance from the others.

"...can I sell personal items on the Star Stream?" Dokja's onyx star eyes widened in curiosity.

"Personal items like?" The jeweled reddish-brown eyes shifted momentarily as he bit his lips. He seemed hesitant to tell the other man, especially with the other four people surrounding him.

"... like... Apple pie? Artifacts? Silver? ... Gold?" Cale then asked in a hesitant voice, making the others blink in unison and glance at each other.

"Apple pie?" - Sangah.

"Artifacts?" - Hyunsung.

"Silver?" - Heewon.

"And Gold?" - Dokja who stared in disbelief at the eldest son of the Henituse family beside him.

"Wow... where do you keep all of that, hyung?" Gilyoung's question made everyone scan Cale quickly. They couldn't find anything bulging under his clothes.

"I keep it here," Cale muttered pulling up a small cloth bag from the back of his trouser pocket. All the adults leaned forward, to get a closer look.

"But it's a small bag?" Cale shook his head.

"It's a Spatial Bag." Now, it was Kim Dokja's turn to be surprised again. Spatial storage was an expensive item! It required a special member to buy that item. How could Hanibaram have this great thing?

"That's an amazing item, Cale-ya." Sangah smiled in admiration, noticing that the small bag the size of a grown man's palm contained the items Cale intended to sell.

"Where did you get it, Cale-huh?" The man in question was silent for a moment, seemingly considering something before answering.

"My family made it." Everyone looked shocked. Especially Dokja. Hanibaram's family? Something he had never read about in the novel! And for a family member, to be able to make items of this level, it must be a very skilled magic item maker.

"Regarding your question just now, you can sell anything on the Star Stream, Cale-ya. You can even open your own shop, provided that as much as 5% of the coins will be given to the Dokkaebi Administration Bureau." - oops. Dokja had shared too much information, but that's okay. After all, what he had told them would just be covered up by censorship. Expertly, he ignored Heewon's sharp gaze.

"Then..." Cale grabbed a white plastic bag, brushed it clean with his hands and placed it in the center of their circle.

5 Pieces of Apple Pie.

Cale asked while looking at his spatial storage bag. And sure enough, 5 pieces of apple pie appeared on the white plastic sheet in front, earning shocked exclamations from all who saw it. Dokja warily glanced around, luckily they were currently seated quite far from the crowd despite the many piercing stares directed at them.

[The Constellation 'Demon-like Judge of Fire' also wants an Apple Pie from Incarnation 'Cale Henituse'!]

[The Constellation 'Demon-like Judge of Fire' says that she will pay for it!]

[The Constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' says that he will also buy the Incarnation 'Cale Henituse's Apple Pie.]

Cale winked at the message flashing on the screen before nodding his head, asking for another piece that disappeared in midair a second later.

[The Constellation 'Demon-like Judge of Fire' praises the Apple Pie given by Incarnation 'Cale Henituse', it is very delicious!]

[The Constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' agrees.]

[Constellation 'Demon-like Judge of Fire' asks how many coins should be paid for this delicious Apple Pie?]

"It's just a small piece... 50 Coins?"

[100 Coins sponsored!]

[100 Coins sponsored.]

That's double...? But Cale did not refuse.

[Some Constellations also want to taste the Incarnation's 'Cale Henituse' apple pie!]

"Just be patient. I'll be opening the shop in a bit..." His reply was returned with approval from the constellations. Turning his eyes away, Cale frowned at the untouched piece of apple pie. Raon would be fussy seeing his favorite apple pie being ignored.

"Why are you silent? Give it a taste too." Gilyoung looked at the mouth-watering cake with a longing gaze before raising the index finger of his right hand, intending to pay, which Cale immediately refused.

"No need. Just grow strong, Gilyoungie." In order to protect this weak me.

Cale's small smile made the little boy gasp for a moment before nodding absently and picking up his piece.

"You too. Just think of this as a testimony before I sell it on Star Stream, hyungdeul, noonadeul," Everyone blushed a little and smiled, before taking their pieces.

"Omona, this is delicious, Cale-ya!" Sangah exclaimed with a happy smile. Hyunsung at her side nodded in agreement.

"How can it still be this good? It's been stored for a long time, right?" Heewon asked again with a curious voice that couldn't be hidden.

"..umm, my family uses preservation magic," Cale muttered, popping another slice of apple pie in his hand and eating it with a dreamy look. Instantly the atmosphere around him became melancholic and sad.

"Then you have a great family, Cale-ya." Surprised by the different response, Cale turned his gaze to Dokja, who was smiling understandingly at him. The red-haired man hummed with an even bigger smile, his eyes almost arching upwards, looking pleased.

"Yes. My family are all great." Thank goodness. Dokja did not know what to do if Cale was sad.

"Then please do me a favor, Dokja-hyungnim. Watch over me when I make the contract." Dokja nodded, always happy to help Hanibaram.

"Ah yes, Cale-ya. Can I ask you something?" All eyes turned to Sangah who shyly raised her right hand. The brown-haired woman blushed a little.

Cale nodded and got ready. Was it time for him to be interrogated?

"Are you wearing any perfume?" Cale blinked twice at the unexpected question. He shook his head. Dokja, on the other hand, felt a small panic sweep over his heart. Of course, Hanibaram's natural instinctive scent! How could he forget? He should have covered up his scent with another perfume earlier!

It it has been mentioned in the novel, that Hanibaram was famous for the smell of nature that radiated from him and made many people try to find and follow him.

How foolish of Dokja to forget those details about Hanibaram!

"No, huh? But you smell good, Cale-ya! You smell like... the smell of nature? If I smell this, I don't know why but it feels so fresh. What perfume do you usually wear?"

"Yes, yes, it smells like... the smell of rain? The forest? A river?" Hyunsung commented after realizing Sangah's question.

"The smell of flowers... grass like summer. The forest too?" Gilyoung tilted his head cutely.

"Hu uh, I'm also curious. It already smelled like this when we found you, Cale-ya."

Once again, Cale was overwhelmed at the questions he didn't understand. He smelled? And of nature? Forest? Grass? River? Was it the effect of his ancient power? The elementals had also previously mentioned it countless times. Whether Elves or Dark Elves, they had also said the same thing.

At first, Cale suspected it was because the smell was coming from Raon or Eruhaben-nim, remembering that elves worship Dragons to an unhealthy extent because they are interpretations of nature itself. But, judging by the words of Kim Dokja's party, it didn't seem like it was because of the Dragons.

"Um-"

"Guys-"

"Dokja-ssi," Hyunsung called seriously making the friendly atmosphere disappear instantly. Cale quickly hid his precious spatial bag. Everyone followed Hyunsung's gaze behind Dokja and Cale, where there were shadows of people approaching them.

Sangah, following her instincts moved to protect Gilyoung and Cale. Meanwhile, Heewon and Hyunsung became tense with alert expressions.

Dokja, on the other hand, smirked a little. Cale felt strangely familiar with that smile.

"Um... are you still selling that food?"

.

.

.

Cale and Gilyoung peeked at the plastic bags that were already short on food. You could even say it was almost gone. Sangah, who saw the behavior of the two youngest, only chuckled for a moment.

"Kim Dokja-ssi, you made a bad choice." Everyone saw Cheon Inho come over to taunt him with an annoying grin. His eyes glanced at Kim Dokja's party members one by one, then stopped for a moment when he saw Cale, who Hyunsung immediately blocked.

Nice, Hyunsung!

"...you will regret it." Throwing a glance at the blocked Cale, the man left with his group.

"-that means their group has a monopoly on food?"

"-yes like that."

"-weaken the strength of the mainstream group by using the food transaction just now?"

"-that's the goal-"

And for the rest, the two of them argued. Cale stared with a bored look. His wounds had improved, thanks to Dokja and Hyunsung's skilled hands. His gaze fell on Gilyoung for a moment. Cale did not know whether or not this little fellow could be considered lucky to still be alive in this horrible apocalyptic world but surviving truly was the best at the end of the day.

"Gilyoungie," he called softly. Gilyoung's age was not far from his children.

"Yes, hyung?"

"Have you had breakfast?" Gilyoung nodded briefly.

"The ramen was delicious." Cale narrowed his eyes. Children should not eat such unwholesome food.

"It's good that you've eaten." Next time, Cale would provide a healthy meal for him. Consider the investment for his protection.

"Why do you ask, hyung?" Cale just shook his head with a calm expression.

"Kids have to eat because they are still growing. If you eat healthy food, you can be as tall as Hyunsung-hyungnim and strong as Dokja-hyungnim, have skin as good as Sangah-noonim and be cool like Heewon-noonim." On the nearby side, Sangah and Hyunsung were watching the youngest member's interaction. Both blushed a little, Cale had indirectly praised them.

"Then I will start eating healthy food, Cale-hyung!" Good, good. Eat and grow healthy. Cale stroked Gilyoung's messy brown hair for a moment, causing the little boy to blush with a happy hum.

"Everyone, do each of you have any food left?" Dokja came up to them and asked. Everyone nodded.

"Eat everything before noon today, or you will regret it." Sangah, Gilyoung, and Hyunsung quickly obeyed Dokja's words without further question. Heewon, stared at the three in disbelief for a moment.

"There must be a reason," Cale muttered, eating his own apple pie. Seeing Cale obeying as well, Heewon eventually followed Dokja's words.

"Dokja-hyungnim," Cale called out to his future protector in this world. Dokja had to stay strong, because this Cale was weak.

"Eat this." The red-haired man held out his piece of apple pie with a look that wouldn't accept a no from Dokja's.

Unable to refuse Hanibaram, Dokja ended up accepting the gift with a smile. His hand unconsciously moved on its own to the top of the ruby-red crowned head and was rewarded with a confused look that ended in a satisfied hum.

He... he... HE was stroking HANIBARAM'S HEAD-!

Turning quickly, the apple pie dangling from his mouth comedically, Dokja looked down at his hands with trembling movements. Imaginary stars could be seen coming out of Dokja's eyes when he saw his palms which had suddenly become beautiful. Heewon, and the sensitive Sangah, watched the older man's reaction with amused smiles.

.
.
.

And the incident that Heewon predicted happened.

Mainstream groups had gained a monopoly on food, making the atmosphere of a subway station tense and sharp.

[The Character 'Cheon Inho' has activated the skill 'Incite Lv. 2']

Just a with a few inciting words everyone had been turned against him. Cale snorted on Dokja's other side. Had intelligence left the brains of those who had claimed to be educated?

"Looks like, there's going to be a battle," Cale muttered, receiving surprised looks by Heewon and Dokja, who were closest to him. Turning to stare at the figure that had been injured in the leg, Heewon grinned at Dokja.

"It seems, I haven't thanked you yet. That was the one who tried to rape me, before you came along like a knight in shining armour." Dokja snorted.

"If a battle occurs, don't kill him, okay? I'll finish him off myself." Cale, who felt his wound sting a bit, moved behind Dokja, restraining himself from falling, which Heewon immediately misunderstood.

"Eh?! I'm sorry, Cale-ya! Is this topic too much for you?" The younger one looked at Heewon critically. Did he look that innocent or that fragile to be considered so naive?

"Um.. it's okay, Heewon-noonim. After all, he's a bad guy, right?" Cale's innocent smile was met with the muffled screams of several constellations.

"Yes, Cale-ya. This will be a lesson for you too. Listen," the black-haired woman's hands clasped each of his shoulders with a serious face.

"If any man approaches you with malicious intent, let alone wants to harass you, don't hesitate to kick them between the legs. Even the most vile can be caught off guard if their eggs are cracked."

"Um-"

"And if I'm around when it happens, tell me. I'll kill them. Your hands are too good to be bloodied by those bastards-"

"But, I'm a man-?"

"You are different Cale-ya. Just listen to this piece of advice of mine. It will help you one day."

Dokja couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat hearing Heewon's advice. On the other hand, he agreed. However, he was also a man...

"... Okay." Satisfied with Cale's response, Heewon smiled sweetly and patted the young red-haired man's head.

"Ah, where did you go, Dokja-ssi?" Heewon and Cale turned their eyes to Dokja who was moving towards the lower platform of the underground railroad. Without saying a word, the black-haired man jumped down. Heewon did not follow him, if she went down, Cale would be left alone upstairs.

No one could predict human behavior in these times.

"You're going there?" The other woman asked, meeting Dokja's gaze. The one in question just hummed, then looked at Cale for a moment. This was rewarded with a confused look from Cale, as the other man yawned a little.

He will rearrange plans. Because the meeting with 'Hanibaram' was so early, the plans that Dokja had drawn up needed minor adjustments.

"All I know is, everyone who goes to the other end ends up dead. It doesn't matter who, anyone will die." Well, what Heewon said wasn't entirely true. There already was one person who had passed this way, heading to the next station.

"-ukh!" Suddenly Cale's collar was grabbed from behind. The young man's strangled voice immediately alerted the two black-haired figures.

"Hey! Why are you pulling our donsaeng away, you bastard!" There were five people that came and all of them were men with ominous gazes directed at Cale.

[The Constellation 'Demon-like Judge of Fire' is burning with rage! Punish the pests who dared to touch the Incarnation 'Cale Henituse'!]

[The Constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' says that it is perfectly legitimate to exterminate these vermin.]

[The Constellation 'Secretive Plotter' will give 500 coins each to Incarnation 'Kim Dokja' and Incarnation 'Jung Heewon' for them to kill them.]

[The Constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' is excited by the massacre that is about to occur!]

"Relax dude, can't you see how beautiful this bastard is?" Said one of the unlucky bastards with his tongue licking his lips, making Heewon disgusted beyond belief. Then, her eyes caught the sight of several women entering Cheon Inho's tent.

Dokja noticed it too. The man easily jumped up. Black starry eyes narrowed coldly.

"Let him go." Seemingly deaf, the one pulling the collar alternately pulled the beautiful hair of the reddish brown eye man, triggering a small hiss from the other, either from the tug at his hair or the wound at his heart.

"HEY!" Heewon growled unable to hold it in anymore. The memory of the man who had tried to rape her flashed through her mind.

"Is this an order from Cheon Inho?" Asked Dokja, now reaching for the thorn he had hidden on his body. His movements become ready for any scenario and to accept any risk.

"That manipulative bastard? No. We're a separate unit from him." Hoo, that was good then.

"Heewon-ssi, back off." The gray-eyed woman stared at him for a moment, before nodding. She knew very well how protective Dokja was of Cale.

"Cale-ya," The younger man looked up at him. Dokja's heart squeezed painfully in his chest when he saw the jeweled reddish-brown eyes glisten with tears (a side-effect of the yawn before his collar had been pulled). His hair was also still gripped tightly in a merciless hold. Dokja was about to cut off that offending hand.

Cale on the other hand suddenly remembered the words of advice Heewon had just given him. More precisely, her advice about cracked eggs. Turning his body to the left swiftly, his feet lifted towards the middle section of the bastard holding him and-

"ARGHH!!! THIS HURTS, YOU BITCH!" The hold on his hair was released for a moment. Cale was about to take another step back, only to be caught by another bastard.

... sometimes, it really sucked to be so so so weak. Cale wasn't even this before!

"Let him go if you want to keep your hand," The black-haired man grumbled viciously. The thorn sprouted from behind his body, alerting the others.

"Heh, try it if you can? There are five of us-"

-SWUSH.

Cale stared blankly at the hand that had been previously holding his hair, now on the ground.

"Uh...huh..."

"Arrghh! This guy is a monster!"

"Cale-ya!" As the bastard's screamed loudly, Heewon pulled the young man into her arms.

"Dokja-ssi." Nodding at the other's signal, the man mercilessly began to slaughter the other 4 bastards. However, one of them escaped trying to attack Heewon and Cale. Immediately the red-haired man raised his hand and took out a shield the size of an adult man with wings sprouting from each side, protecting them.

This caused the other goon to crash and immediately get stabbed by Dokja's thorns.

Dokja stared at the beautiful shield with wide eyes for a moment. Finally! One of Hanibaram's iconic powers that he had read about in novels, shown! The shield was as beautiful as described, it had a silver shining lining and a pair of wings spread out widely, to protect.

It was only when the five people were already seriously injured that they noticed Cale, who was releasing his shield with a heavy gasp. His face suddenly went pale.

"Cale?"

"Cough-ugh-!" Blood poured out of his mouth. Both Dokja and Heewon stared blankly at the blood, before turning pale in shock.

"Cale!" Hanibaram!

Meanwhile, the who who vomited blood immediately fell to his knees. His right hand trembled as he tried to block more blood from coming out.

Geez. The God of Death was such a jerk. The red-haired man's heart was languishing.

Not only his body, but his plate had also become weaker. How will he recover if this continues? At this rate, Cale would bleed to death first!

"Is this a side effect of your skill?" faintly, he heard Dokja ask. Cale nodded and was met with a complicated look.

"Don't use your skills again without our permission, Cale-ya," Heewon insisted beside him with a cold face. The sight of Cale covered in his own blood was becoming a little traumatic for both of them.

[The Constellation 'Demon-like Judge of Fire' nods in agreement to Incarnation 'Jung Heewon''s order!]

[The Constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' did not expect the Incarnate 'Cale Henituse' to be so weak, even from the tip of his fingernails!]

Cale held back from chuckling at hearing almost the same reaction as he used to hear from Raon. Duh, he was indeed weak, thank you for the reminder.

"But, what if the enemy surrenders-cough-?"

"Enough! Don't talk so much and drink this!"

"... I'm hungry..." replied the other pale man absurdly, earning him a frustrated look.

"Apple pie!" two pieces appeared in front of them, as well as a pain reliever potion. Dokja with lightly shaking hands handed the piece to Cale.

The overall evaluation was correct. The Hanibaram might be OP because he had a lot of cool attributes, skills and stigma. But his strength was too strong, and it was completely incompatible with his weak body. And ended up having a severe impact on his body if used.

"Eat quickly, before the food is taken away. Then drink this and change your clothes, Cale-ya." Nodding obediently, Cale ate his apple pie with the other man's help. Feeling a bit nostalgic as he remembered Raon feeding him the pie with flowing tears.

... but, this apple pie wasn't soggy.

And then, the black Dokkaebi appeared.

Dokja ignored the presence that had just arrived, making sure Cale ate his fill before the food was taken over by the Dokkaebi.

[Scenario fine has been added.]

[From now on, food supplies are limited.]

[All existing food supplies have disappeared.]

Right after Cale's apple pie finished, all the 'food' started floating in the air.

"Hehe... you all should think of a way to clear the scenario..."

The food was then ruthlessly crushed in the snap of the Dokkaebi's fingers.

"You want to eat, scum of the earth?" The Dokkaebi's eyes glanced at the dark path leading to the next station. The nervous tone of his voice changed, despite his weak voice, his smile was cruel.

"From now on, let's have fun together, everyone."

And with that the Dokkaebi disappeared.

[Scenario Fine has been added]

[A 'survival' clause has been added.]

[From now on, 100 coins will be deducted for the 'Survival' fee. If you can't pay the 'Survival' fee, you will die.]

[The 'Cost of Survival' penalty will be maintained until Main Scenario #2 is removed.]

Kim Dokja let out a breath, relieved that Cale had finished his apple pie before the Dokkaebi destroyed it.

"Cale-ya, how are you feeling-?" Another slice of apple pie appeared. Dokja stared blankly at Cale who was grabbing the piece of cake, before eating it. He gave him a puzzled look, head tilted to the side.

For some reason, Dokja had to laugh at the adorable sight.

Hanibaram was indeed filled with mystery. Even his apple pie was full of mystery.

Hanibaram was full of surprises.

SEE YOU IN THE NEXT CHAPTER

End Notes :

Dokja's reaction to Cale's power will be further explained while in his point of view!

And for our sunfish bastard, Yoo Jonghyuk, you'll see him in chapter #5!

Just wait ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)❤✨
