[ RED: DONE. BUT BE CAREFUL—LUCK IS UNPREDICTABLE. ]

"I know that," AK muttered. "Can't you tell me something new? Something I need to know?"

[ RED: THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THINGS I MUST TELL YOU. ]

[ RED: BUT FIRST, YOU NEED TO HEAR TWO IMPORTANT THINGS. ]

---

[ RED: FIRST, YOUR LIFE AND MINE ARE IN DANGER. EVEN ANGELS, THE ONES WHO SERVE THE GODS, ARE OUR ENEMIES. TO FIGHT THEM, YOU WILL NEED DEMONIC POWER. ]

"Wait… angels? Aren't angels supposed to be good and neutral? Why would they see us as enemies?" AK asked, shocked.

[ RED: YOU'RE RIGHT, BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER. IN THEIR EYES, WE ARE A THREAT TO THIS ENTIRE WORLD. ]

"...I understand now," AK said quietly.

[ RED: SECOND, YOU MUST KNOW THERE ARE SIX WORLDS — GODS' WORLD, ENTITIES' WORLD, HEAVEN, HUMAN WORLD, HELL, AND THE DISTORTED WORLD. ]

"Six worlds?!" AK exclaimed. "Are all of them trying to kill us? And what the hell is this Distorted World?"

[ RED: I DON'T KNOW IF ALL OF THEM ARE OUR ENEMIES. ONLY THE GODS OF GODS' WORLD AND SOME ANGELS IN HEAVEN AREN'T AGAINST US… YET. ]

[ RED: AS FOR THE DISTORTED WORLD — EVERY DUNGEON GATE IN THIS WORLD LEADS THERE. ]

"Wait, wait! You told me before that dungeons lead to another verse, a destroyed version of this world. Now you're saying it's the Distorted World?" AK asked in confusion.

[ RED: YOU FOOL. THAT DESTROYED VERSE IS CALLED THE DISTORTED WORLD. GET IT NOW? ]

"Yeah… I understand now. You're revealing so many things I never knew in the erased timeline," AK said with a frown.

[ RED: THESE ARE THINGS YOU MUST KNOW FOR NOW. ]

[ RED: AREN'T YOU CURIOUS TO INCREASE YOUR LEVEL? ]

"I'm not as curious as you are," AK shot back. "You just want 3,000 mana stones every time I level up, right?"

[ RED: I'M ASKING YOU A QUESTION, AND YOU'RE ANSWERING WITH ANOTHER QUESTION. ]

"To be honest… yeah, I do want to increase my level," AK admitted. "That's why I asked Hazzy to raid another dungeon. It'll be our guild's first official raid. I even asked him to give me 3,000 mana stones—and somehow, he agreed. Isn't he supposed to be aggressive in the erased timeline? Now he's so cheerful."

[ RED: HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN? I TOLD YOU THAT REVERSING TIME CAN CHANGE PEOPLE'S PERSONALITIES AND EGO. HAZZY IS ONE OF THEM. ]

"Anyway, it's time to go to the dungeon near Golghar," AK said.

A few hours later, AK arrived. The White Tiger Guild—Hazzy, Phaphy, and Ash—were already waiting.

As soon as AK reached them, they entered the dungeon.

If dungeons weren't cleared in time, a Dungeon Break would happen, and monsters would spill into the city. No one wanted that.

---

The moment they stepped in, the air turned foul. Groaning echoed in the dark corridors.

"Zombies," Hazzy said, tightening his grip on his sword.

The dungeon was swarming with F-rank zombies, their rotting bodies lurching forward.

"Disgusting," Phaphy muttered, casting a Fire Ball to burn two zombies to ash.

"They're slow but dangerous in groups," AK said, stabbing one in the skull with Wolf Slayer. "Aim for the head!"

Ash raised his shield, blocking a wave of clawed hands. "Push forward!"

The battle raged. Hazzy's sword flashed like lightning, slicing through rotting necks. Phaphy unleashed bursts of fire and water, knocking zombies down like bowling pins. AK used [Stealth] to backstab multiple zombies, cutting their cores to pieces.

"Collect the mana stones!" Hazzy shouted between swings.

Within an hour, hundreds of zombies were dead, their mana stones filling the guild's bags.

---

Finally, they stood before the boss gate.

Without hesitation, Hazzy pushed the door open.

But what they saw made their blood run cold.

The corpse of Giant Z, the zombie boss, was already lying dead on the ground.

And standing over it… was a man. His entire body radiated a bloodlust aura, sharp enough to make them shiver.

He stared directly at AK and Hazzy, ignoring Phaphy and Ash, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

---

[ RED: AK… RUN. HE'S OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE. RUN! ]

"What?" AK froze. "He's that strong?! We can't defeat him?"

[ RED: DON'T THINK, JUST RUN! ]

[ RED: HE… HE IS THE INCARNATION OF THE PRIMORDIAL BEING—'GARY.' ]
