Taydan spoke gently and reached out his hand, but once again, Hebe stepped back to avoid him. Tayden’s hand lingered in the air.... more>>

“The nightmare you had today must have been… truly terrifying”, Taidan said quietly.

His lowered eyes were cold. After being rejected several times just today, it was understandable for him to feel upset. Until yesterday, Hebe had stayed still whenever he touched him.

Even though it was spring, the forest at midnight was bitterly cold. Perhaps Tayden’s violet eyes were now carrying a chill that made it feel even colder. When Hebe shivered slightly, Tayden immediately reacted.

“This won’t do. Hebe, you should head back to the capital first. I’ll bring Myangmyang with me.”

“Let’s go back together.”

“Then should I hold you until Myangmyang arrives?”

“What are you talking about?”

“They say there is nothing warmer than human body heat.”

Hebe narrowed his eyes. If this had been a battlefield, he would have readily accepted. But knowing that Tayden loved him, he sensed ulterior motives in his suggestion.

“Quit messing around and go get Myangmyang quickly.”

“Did you just say I was messing around?” Taidan’s eyes widened as if he had heard something completely unexpected. His gaze wavered, and Hebe instinctively stepped back.

“Y-yeah. You were trying something with me, weren’t you?”

“How did you…?” Tayden’s voice trembled.

“How did you even know I was trying something? You’re never that perceptive.” <<less

["Flight of Time" Side Effects Unleashed!... more>>

‘Rejection of the Timeline’ is now in effect.

Application Period: INFINITY ]

A hidden mission appeared in the first-ever Grade 6 dungeon.

The penalty for failure? 'The destruction of the world.'

Seo Hwa, the leader of the Danbaek Guild, failed miserably in clearing the mission.

Using the skill [Flight of Time] , he regresses to the past.

But the new timeline rejects him, and with each regression, the hatred directed at Seo Hwa by those around him grows stronger.

“When you see me, you feel an intense sense of otherness and unease, don’t you?

Anger, hatred, disgust, mu*derous intent—those kinds of things.

It’s because the timeline rejects me every time I regress.”

“So, these emotions I’m feeling… are side effects of your skill?

I want to hurt you. I want to torment you.

The hatred makes my head throb with pain.”

Even Kang Yigeon, who loved Seo Hwa in the first timeline, wasn’t spared.

‘You don’t believe in something like love.

But even if the world resets a hundred times, I will love you.’

Kang Yigeon, who once said those words, disappeared forever.

Now, as the most hated hunter in history, Seo Hwa has become both humanity's greatest enemy and their reluctant ally.

‘Kang Yigeon… if you truly love me in your next life,

then maybe… I’ll try to believe in this thing called love.’

Even romance novels have their share of events.

But after every event, there’s always love waiting.

“You are both utterly revolting and achingly beautiful.”

Can Seo Hwa come to believe in love? <<less

Sung-hyun proposes a deal to Seo-yu, saying that his brother is going to kill him.
