A tree that snows. Fifth origin.

A place where birds count the stars where Yoohyun's corpse was taken.

I don't see a bird with one white feather. Instead, what caught my eye was my brother lying quietly on the snow.

The human body feels surprisingly small among the huge, thick roots of trees like frozen mountain ranges. It must be this obvious because it's a dream.

‘... Wouldn't it be cold? ’

I thought that first. I know that the dead can't feel the cold. But it's a dream. It could still be alive in the dream.

Moreover, his face was a little pale, just seemed to fall asleep. I didn't see any scars. The snowflakes that surround the body are white without blemish.

So if I wake you up, I'll open my eyes.

‘Yoohyun.'

But I couldn't get close. There are no voices. You don't have to be such a classic nightmare. I went through enough in reality to just stare at nothing. So I can let you move around in your dreams.

I didn't always want much.

I feel sick just blinking like an idiot. The snow was constantly falling. Swims through the air slowly like an eternity.

A big snowflake floats in between.

- Peep!

... Ugh.

- Beep, beep, beep!

It's not a snowflake... It's a beep. The little wings clasp hard and come towards this side of the hut. That makes him white, too.

There is a white bird flying through the white snow.

- Peep!

‘Peep.'

Beep, beep, beep. I can't hold you because I'm stuck. What the hell is wrong with my body? Are you just looking at it as if it were a normal dream?

Peep, who was circling in front of me, flew around again. The snowflake continues to fall on the small body, then slowly lowers it down once. The place where Yoohyun often walked after sitting on top of the snow piled up.

- Drugs!

The young bird leaps over the snow piled up and gasps for breath. Why it doesn't fly. Did they already consume all the Stables in the item?

There were two types of items with a special effect: using the user's magic and consuming the magic of the stone on the item. The latter is intended for persons with no or low magical strength. The flying skill was also the latter due to the large Mana consumption.

Your Spatial Movement Skill suggests that Peep has a higher magical power level than you might think. No, it was a dream before that.

- Peek, Peek, Peek!

After walking hard, Peep finally arrived next to Yoohyun. Padaddak, climb up on the sagging arm, and climb back up on the padaddak chest.

As I touched my pale forehead, my heart suddenly sank down in my shaky black hair. But that was it. Probably because of the wind.

- Peep!

Peep looked up at me on Yoohyun's chest. Yeah, Peep Peep. I know. I can't wake up.

You close your eyes. You open your eyes again with a beep in your ears.

- Beep beep.

“Peep.”

I raised my torso and wrapped it around the Peep sitting next to the pillow. Why is your hair wet? It turns out the light on the screen instead of the window is blurry. It rains in the garden, and the sound of rain is coming in small through the speakers.

“You must not have used your spatial skills again. ”

- Peep.

The tip of the beak dug into my palm as if I were hungry. You're using your skills again, I see. What if he goes out there and gets himself in trouble?

“You can't go out there alone. Bad guys take it. ”

I took out the stone and asked him to feed me. You don't understand. Even if they do, they'll come back if they get enough. Great space movement skill.

‘By the way, how far can he go? ’

It won't be too short now that you're in Hong Kong. Of course, there's a chance it's not all at once. I wiped my wet pillow with a blanket. Cold and cold... No, it's summer.

For a moment, I thought it was winter because of my dreams. Why is it snowing? It's lonely and cold, so I'm only gonna let you move once. Give me a hug.

“Let's dry it out in the summer just in case. ”

- Peep!

I hugged Peep and pulled out a dry towel. I wiped the white down thoroughly and dried it with a pet dryer.

“You awake?”

The sound of the dryer stops, and you hear his voice. At the same time, yesterday came to mind. I completely forgot. I unplugged the hair dryer, put it in the drawer, and then turned around holding the pinkie in my arms. Poison Resistance skill has also been turned back on.

“Did Seong-hyeon tell you? ”

“Yes.”

It's still a little noticeable. You can't just hand someone a sleeping pill. By the way.

“Why do you carry sleeping pills? Can't sleep well? ”

“I'm not writing it. It's just shallow sleep, not sleepless. ”

“He slept well in Hong Kong. You should get a good night's sleep in Class S. ”

In my words, Yoohyun was silent briefly.

“... Aren't you angry? ”

“Well, next time, I want you to tell me. It seemed to be working. ”

I had a bit of a dream, so I thought I would sleep well. I've been tired a lot.

“Brother.”

“So what exactly did you say? I don't think he knows the details. ”

“Why do you keep avoiding me? ”

I did. Yoohyun couldn't see his face properly.

“You're angry, too. ”

“I'm not. I'm not mad at you for that. ”

“Then?”

I looked up at my brother. He's still young. He's not 25, but he's younger. I smiled at the fat yet uneasy face.

“I'm just sorry. I was supposed to tell him everything, but he shut up again. Come here, Yoohyun. ”

I grabbed him lightly with one arm and let him go.

“What time is it? Let's talk over breakfast. ”

* * *

I made breakfast briefly. Yoohyun said he would help, but I told him to just sit down. I'm not very good, but I've been doing household chores for years. Moreover, the dishes were finished by transporting the fridge, so all I did was scrambled eggs. It's rice. All you have to do is wash your rice and press the electric cooker button.

“I can tell it's fast. I can't believe you even noticed the marble in there. ”

When I heard what Yoohyun told me, I kicked my tongue.

“It's a Diama's Gold Forged Stable and an SS Class Mercenary Stone. ”

“... Are you okay? You can put that in your body. ”

“This is a skill that allows you to fuse magic stones to create new polyps. If the skill is applied properly, it will follow me and be rated S or higher. ”

However, I was a little anxious that there was still no news. It may take some time to combine, depending on the grade, but there is no change.

“Monster twists and turns, which I did not expect. ”

“When the polyp is born, the wound disappears? ”

“No, the wound is intact. ”

“Don't use that skill anymore. ”

Yoohyun resolutely said.

“But it's a waste. It doesn't bother me to live with scars. ”

“Now I want to get it out of my mind. ”

He grumbled to save himself. He picked up steamed peppers with his chopsticks. That's delicious. When I looked at it with a little expectation, Yoohyun cut the pepper and froze.

“It's delicious, isn't it? ”

“Th-there's a run. ”

“It was made by Myoungo. ”

“… Huh. ”

Yoohyun said shakily. I was trying to bring a dish made by Myungwoo before, but I was rejected. I guess I've changed my mind.

“Try something else and let me know if it fits your mouth. I'll take care of it.”

“... No, it's okay. ”

The voice of the answer was loud. I even ate fried eggs without even touching the other side of the dish after the hot pepper. Eat something delicious!

“Eat it thoroughly. ”

I pushed the egg of my share and said, I don't think I'll have enough for an egg. Should I get some steam?

“And now my fear resistance is Class C. ”

“… What? ”

“I heard that some of Song Tae-won's skills can be ranked lower. ”

I'm sorry to Song Tae-won, but I'm not anyone else and I have to tell Yoohyun. In case you get caught wrong, don't drop your skill rating. If grade A lasted half a day, grade S also wanted to be kept for at least an hour.

I don't know about the other sleeps, but something like your Resistance Skill might be in danger if you fall in rank.

“You have such skills. Even the rank drop is large. ”

“Oh, that's because I've doubled my attack skill effect. They usually fall by about grade 3. Be careful with that, it's Class S. It takes a long time to make contact, so you won't get hurt in battle. ”

“Don't share that skill. You know it's dangerous. ”

“Now I'm going to write and share contracts. ”

I have to fix it.

My brother finished the meal and cleaned it up. Wonderful and kind. Why aren't you in a relationship? Maybe it's too perfect.

[Last night, Gangseo-gu, Seoul □ □ Dungeon brakes that occurred near the mountain -]

When I turned on the TV, there was a special broadcast about last night's dungeon brakes. Even if you turn the channel around, it's all about the dungeon brakes except for the regular broadcast. The broadcasts related to me have gone clean.

It's been a long dungeon break, but it was worth it.

‘You shouldn't think that's going to work. ’

I blew up the dungeon on purpose. If it turns out that one thing is true, it's like jumping into a fire. Why would he hang me with the leash he gave me?

‘Track down honey on the market and eliminate those who haven't responded to me. ’

If you were smart, you might have told me you were retiring on purpose. Anyway, tracking down the route to honey sales is the most urgent thing, but sadly, I keep thinking about sexual phenomena.

‘There must be hunters in the world who have the skills to extract information from people or dead bodies. ’

They must have taken it from Hong Kong to the body. It will take at least a week or ten days for Yerim to get out of the dungeon, and it will be too late.

I'll throw you something. Let me tell you something about the Magic Stone Crafting. I'm sure if I toss it like I can make a custom rider later, I'll bite you.

‘Electrical resistance is hard to find advanced monsters. ’

The presence of the Head of the Seung Guild must be a Class S rider. Of course, I'm not just going to make it for you to track down the honey trade routes. It's just information that this could be possible. I'm not sure about my skill success yet, and I don't know how many monster combinations I can make.

It's kind of a scam, but... If you have that much, it can be eaten away.

Yoohyun came out of the kitchen and sat on the couch looking at Tiv.

“Aren't you going to the guild? It's been a long time since we've had a dungeon blast. ”

“I'm still in the dungeon. It's no good to know you came out with a gate stone, so you'll stay calm until the attack is over. You're gonna stay home until you get your terror resistance rating back, right? ”

I avoided the gaze of certainty.

“No, I'm the one who should be busy. Yesterday's dungeon brake must have blown my job. How can you sit there? And it's everyday, because it's okay without fear resistance. If it's Class C, where is it? Normal people don't live with fear resistance. ”

You're so bold in class C, you'll hear a sound. My brother's expression became clear. I'm sorry to make you guard the house, but rest well.

“Then I'll go with you. ”

“I thought you were attacking Chief Hae Yeon's dungeon. ”

Yoohyun called somewhere instead of answering. A moment later, a young man in the early twenty years was drawn to the hands of the stone age.

“Gosh, didn't you go into the Guild Master's Dungeon? ”

Yeon-yeon's Class B Hunter Kim, who recommended the bar to Kim Sung-han before, looked at Yoohyun with confused eyes. Yoohyun smiled kindly at him.

“Can I borrow your identity for a week? ”

“Yes?”

“It's a vacation anyway, so there's nothing to do. I finally paid for my vacation. ”

“No, I took a vacation to go to Europe.... ”

Yoohyun took out his glasses while looking at Kim Min-hyun who was limping back and forth. Subsequently, the stonework gave out a pill.

“You can just get up in a good night's sleep. ”

“I've booked a plane and a place to stay! ”

“We'll triple your pay and extend your vacation. ”

Kim grumbled and eventually received the pill. Student of Minh, I'm sorry. Don't worry too much, I'll try to keep him out of trouble.
