Chapter 31 (1/2)
Yun Seo-Rah Current age, 20 years old
A still-young wo discovered by Sinyoung's famed scout The so-called -Sik
Along with another Invited, Kahng Seok, she was seen as the top prospect for the March 2017 recruitment period
She always displayed the habit of ‘think first, act later' in everything she did; her thoughts or decisionwere never swayed by emotions, and because of her personality, she held no interest towards other people's business
Such characteristicsthe Tutorial, but once she lost her right ared for the worse
She was very much aware of her weakness in the context of the environ with others was a ht, she focused solely on fixing her broken right ary and focus on strengthening her fitness level instead after learning that her tally of SP, 317 points, wasn't even reh to heal her wounds
As an Invited, she already had acquired a fairly good understanding of as going on in the Neutral Zone before co here That hy, before her Job awakened, she decided to focus on raising her physical stats She knew that, as long as she could become a Sorcerer, or, even a Priest, then her probleo of that sliver of hope, even when stuck in a hopeless situation However, that got brutally cut off when her Job was set as a Warrior
She left the Cha chased away And as expected, there was literally not a thing she could do in her current state
She had spent every single SP she had by then She even had to sell the bag she got as the starting bonus cheaply, too
Even if she wanted to earn some points, no one wanted a Warrior with a crippled ar quarters became a luxury she could only dream of She couldn't even afford to eat one nals as a result Starved of the necessary nutrients, her body got weaker and weaker with every passing day
And with her weakened body, she couldn't even atteive out small amount of points as rewards
Her deterh nothing but sheer malice also eventually reached its lis that came to see her every other day, Yun Seo-Rah would've died of starvation already
However, she knew that the siblings were also struggling desperately as well So, she could not depend on the Yun Seo-Rah's discoestion
She said, how about we speak to ‘orabeo-ni man, he'd not abandon us callously at all
It'd be a lie if Yun Seo-Rah wasn't teh, she shook her head and said no
If he still owed her a favour or soht have been different Sure, he saved her life, but in return, she gave him the Revival potion And their relationshi+p caht so that way
She didn't mind if others called her out on her petty pride Actually, she was too asha to heed the suggestion of Yi Surl-Ah played heavily in Yun Seo-Rah's s any further, she discreetly changed her hiding place without telling the through a terrifying and breathless ordeal
She opened her eyes in the ht to find three Westernher ar on top of her
No matter where, it see Seok
In theto the man on top of her came in closer to whisper
”Hey, I heard that you're a cripple”
”You wanna keep living like this? Don't you wanna go to the Paradise?”
”Just behave yourself We will feed you well and find you a warm bed to sleep on, too”
”Who knows? Maybe even a couple of points, too…”
The Survival Points
The th automatically seeped out of her body Naturally, her resistance weakened as well
By the ti her buttocks When she regained her bearings, she found her underwear pulled down to her ankles already
And when that man took off his pants while a thick, lecherous smile for to alert the owner of an inco call
She shook hard as if so water on her head in the middle of a harsh winter
Like words of a snake tickling her ears, the ly object neared her face, yet her lips reht that, thewould really come to an end for her
No, a si even deeper into a bottomless abyss…
And so, she did not open her lips
But, she did screa she had She bit whatever she caht
Her rewards were harsh swearings, along with fists and kicks Even then, Yun Seo-Rah did not let up her crazed resistance
Eventually, the rew sick and tired, and abandoned her with a thick spit to her face
She fixed her clothing and unsteadily e She then fell to the floor and got into a huddle
A single drop of the war back finally leaked out of her eye The tears she'd been shedding inwardly began strea out, and eventually, she burst out into uncontrollable sobs
‘Better if I just died' (Yun Seo-Rah)
She was scared of falling asleep again because of the incident, but forced her eyes shut regardless She thought that if she died here, like this, then she rets
She didn't care what happened anymore
And so, Yun Seo-Rah fell into a fitful slumber But, then…
”…Miss Yun Seo-Rah?”
Just as she was about to pay the ferryman to cross the river Styx…
”Miss Yun Seo-Rah”
…She took a look behind her
And, she clearly saw hiYun Seo-Rah, Yi Surl-Ah and Yi Sung-Jin arrived at his quarters
The siblings entered his roo in the grand sights of the luxurious furnishi+ng of the place that reminded one of a palace They recovered quickly fro on the bed, and approached her Deep froere etched on their faces
”She wasn't this bad two days ago…” (Yi Surl-Ah)
”Really?” (Seol)
”Yes Why did she get so…?” (Yi Surl-Ah)
Yi Surl-Ah looked anxious Seol lightly held his chin, conte
‘What could be her problelance, he could clearly tell that Yun Seo-Rah was very sick Even though he brought her to his quarters, thick perspiration continued to forher
He thought that the current situation was inally better, co her around However, since he lacked proper e, he could only renised the fact that she needed help
Seol told the siblings he'd be back soon and left his roo a situation he didn't kno to solve, there was only one person he could rely on
After hearing his explanation, Agnes quickly called for another maid to join them
The person to answer the call was unexpectedly none other than Maria The blonde nes introduced her Job to Seol, she cocked an eyebrow, perhaps in disapproval of the revelation
It turned out, Maria was a Level 4 Priest
Not only that, she was a Priest specialising in healing who had walked a long road - froyh Priest”
Seol promptly returned to his quarters with the two maids in tow
”This is… just so bloody fantastic” (Maria)
After checking out Yun Seo-Rah's condition, Maria spat out a short assessment
”It's that bad?” (Seol)
”Neverherself for the pastweakened to this state, she even got beaten up pretty good as well, so yes It's bad” (Maria)
”She got beaten up?” (Seol)
”Yes Seriously now… Don't knoho hit her, but that person sure did a fcking wonderful number on her” (Maria)
Maria leaked out a hollow chuckle Hearing the real cause of Yun Seo-Rah's accelerated deterioration, Yi Surl-Ah covered herher here, to your quarters Without the effects of this rooht have crossed the River of Lethe and would be tipping the wineglass of Forgetfulness by now” (Maria)
”Hoe go about healing her…?” (Seol)
”If you want it, I can do it But, strictly speaking, there's no need If she spends next couple of days in this roo well, she will recover fully” (Maria)
”Does that ht arm will be healed, as well?” (Seol)
Maria suddenly went very quiet and gazed at Yun Seo-Rah Agnes also studied Yun Seo-Rah's crippled right ar up
”Six stab wounds on the arer, it seems The assailant even twisted the blade around in two of the wounds, too” (Agnes)
”How long has it been?” (Maria)
”Over two h even with ‘Moderate' or ‘Massive'?” (Agnes)
”Why ask soht' would have sufficed if the wound was treated right away, but… But, it's too late now You know that a wound gets progressively harder to heal the longer it is left untreated If it's a ‘Colossal', it nes breathed out a soft sigh
Meanwhile, Seol couldn't hide his astonishure out what happened two o with just one look
A certain sense of anxiety was bloo in the corner of his heart at the saure out the contents of the discussion since several words related to Maria's profession were thrown around, but he still understood that fixing the right arht and shook her head, before shi+fting her gaze over to Seol
”This ar' spell, requiring so on the level of ‘Revival' at this point So, instead of leaving it as is, I recommend amputation” (Maria)
”…Excuseit Unless ere in the Paradise, you won't find a Priest better skilled thanthis ar, but just as expected, this injury couldn't be healed in the Neutral Zone Maria didn't beat around the bush and conveyed the truth
That wasn't the end of the bad news, though There was still around a ht ar this time
”Is there… any other way?” (Seol)
Seol wasn't expecting to hear ‘inosis, and he could only chew on his blameless lower lip in frustration
It was then
”There is one other way” (Agnes)
A calnes raised her body up fro concluded her examination of Yun Seo-Rah's arm
”As Maria has iher than 5 can possibly heal this person's injury However, out of the four Jobs, a Priest happens to be closest to the Gods” (Agnes)
”………”
”I told you that you'll have to select a God to serve when your level rises to 5 Do you still renes)
Seol nodded his head
”The ‘Colossal' is a very powerful holy spell a Priest can learn after reaching level 5” (Agnes)
”Didn't you say Miss Maria is level 4?” (Seol)
”Indeed, she wouldn't be able to use it under nornes)
”Agnes? You should really shut the fck up now” (Maria)
Maria began glaring at Agnes However, the latter lance as a reply, and her words did not stop
”Between level 1 and level 4, a Priest alk on a singular path without receiving the aid of other Gods The God in charge of the class will bestow the title of High Priest as the reward When one becones)
”A special privilege?” (Seol)
”Yes And that is to hold the Cereh-level spell” (Agnes)
Maria squeezed shut her eyes Even the noise of teeth gnashi+ng could be heard Seol thought that she just whispered several curse words, too
He eventually opened hisat her
”…Excus…” (Seol)
”Argh, I don't wanna! hell no! No freaking way!” (Maria)
”M, Miss Maria?” (Seol)
”I can't hear you~ Alalalala~~ Ebebebebeh…” (Maria)
Maria repeatedly covered up her ears and uncovered the of you!” (Yi Surl-Ah)
Yi Surl-Ah couldn't just keep watching, so she begged, but…
”Fck, you better shut that piehole of yours” (Maria)
Maria spat out in anger and beca Yi Surl-Ah to jue behind Seol's back The irl and she was unable to close her slack jaw
Seol signaled the tearful girl to be quiet, and then, began slowly approaching Maria The
”Don't come here! Don't' come closer to me!! Don't you dare!!!” (Maria)
”Miss Maria, a word Please” (Seol)
”Argh, sht! Let go of ns of running away, Seol gently grasped her arms to stop her Maria then threw her fists and resisted hi that they didn't hurt toohim
”What will it take for you to help us?” (Seol)
