When I realized too late that among his abilities, he had the ability to see through other people’s fortunes.
I asked Cheon Gu-nam to keep my ability a secret.
Cheon Gu-nam had promised to do so obediently.
Funny enough, I believed that.
Because I thought he wasn’t a bad person, judging by his fortune.
Cheon Gu-nam was born on the day of Eul-sa (乙巳日柱).
People with the Eulsa Ilju have a gentle and affectionate personality.
Although he was basically a kind and sympathetic person, he had another characteristic.
People born on the day of Eulsa are quick-witted and good at speaking, but they tend to boast and brag.
There are times when excellent speaking skills are used for good, but there are also times when they are abused and used to gossip behind someone’s back.
Around the time when the party member who went to the Demon Realm with me returned seriously injured.
He was spreading rumors about my talents.
When people heard that, they began to doubt me.
[I almost died when I went with Seo Kang-rim.]
[It is said that Seo Kang-rim’s supernatural ability is to steal the abilities of dead people… ]
[It seems that Seo Kang-rim tried to kill him and take away his abilities.]
As word started to spread like that, no one wanted to party with me.
Even if I was lucky enough to save the party, when I returned injured, everyone started to doubt me.
Cheon Gu-nam was smiling with a face that seemed like a good person, then and now.
Even now, I am having a pleasant conversation with people.
Then suddenly, Cheon Gu-nam looked surprised and spoke to a woman.
“Wow. But your hands are really small. They’re cute.”
“Really? I’m not sure… … .”
“Then would you like to have a go at it with me?”
When Cheon Gu-nam held out his hand, the woman hesitated for a moment and then took his hand.
I’m seeing that trick again in this life.
He said in a half-admiring voice.
“Right? Your hands are really small, aren’t they? Try comparing them to other people’s hands.”
People were crowded together and showing their hands to Cheon Gu-nam.
Without even realizing that they were showing us their own fate.

[Ability] Handwriting
[Rank] Ghostly Three Ranks
[Description] You can check your fortune by looking at your own and the other person’s palms.
═══════════════
The ability that Cheon Gu-nam possesses is ‘water magic.’
To put it simply, it was an ability to read someone’s fate through their palm.
Although it was a rare ability, there were limitations to its use.
‘Palmistry’ is a method of reading fortune by looking at the other person’s palm.
Also, the fortune-telling of a handless subject cannot be confirmed.
For example, in the case of demons, it is impossible to confirm unless they are humanoid.
“Ms. Shin Soo-ah. Are you feeling better about the injury you received earlier?”
After looking at everyone’s hands, Cheon Gu-nam raised his head and spoke to Shin Su-ah.
“I’m a little tired, but I’m okay.”
“You said your hand hurt earlier. Is that why? Let me take a look.”
Cheon Gu-nam held out his hand with a worried expression on his face.
The intention must have been to check Shin Soo-ah’s palm.
Even if Shin Soo-ah’s fortune is revealed, there won’t be a big problem.
If you ask, he will tell you without hesitation.
However, if Cheon Gu-nam finds out Shin Su-ah’s fortune, it is obvious that he will use it to his advantage.
In my past life, I knew that Shin Soo Ah was of a high rank, so I clung to her and she cursed at me a lot.
I got up quickly and walked over to the table.
“Ms. Shin Soo-ah.”
As I approached, everyone at the table looked at me.
I quickly brought up the matter, fearing that Cheon Gu-nam might interfere.
“I have something to tell you. Can I talk to you for a moment?”
“Oh, yes.”
Shin Soo-ah looked puzzled, but soon got up from her seat.
As I was leaving the restaurant with her, I felt someone’s gaze on me, but I ignored it.
I moved to a place near the training room on the first floor, looking for a place where there were no people.
Shin Soo-ah looked at me blankly and asked.
“What’s going on?”
“I have a few things to tell you.”
I brought you here with the intention of taking you away from Cheon Gu-nam, but I thought it would be a good idea to talk about a few things while I’m at it.
I asked Shin Soo Ah.
“Ms. Shin Soo-ah, what do you think my abilities are?”
“Um… … . The ability to create flames. And the ability to detect the abilities of others and yourself?”

On the first day, she told me what her abilities were in the building, so it was natural for me to notice.
I nodded.
“That’s right. I wish you would keep the fact that you have that ability a secret.”
“Yes, I understand.”
She said with a calm face.
Even if she hadn’t said anything like that in the first place, Shin Soo-ah would have kept it a secret.
I continued speaking.
“And I think it would be better for you to keep your distance from Cheon Gu-nam.”
“Why?”
“It’s called palmistry, and it’s the ability to read someone’s fortune through their palm.”
“That’s why you’ve been waving your hand like that since earlier… … .”
Shin Soo-ah also seemed to think that something was strange.
Since I had already conveyed my message, I moved on.
“Anyway, I wanted to let you know that. Excuse me.”
After I finished saying everything I wanted to say, I left the training room.
This will probably prevent Shin Soo Ah from getting entangled with Cheon Gu Nam.
It seemed like Shin Soo Ah was trying to say something to me, but she didn’t follow me.
As I finished my business and went out to the lobby, I saw someone standing, leaning against the wall.
It was a thousand men.
Follow me and Shin Soo Ah, it seems like she was waiting nearby.
“Is your name Seo Kang-rim? Hello. My name is Cheon Gu-nam.”
He approached me with a friendly smile.
Just like in a past life.
I stared at him blankly, my hands in my pockets.
“I wanted to talk to you at least once. Ah, thanks to you, I’m able to use the Wi-Fi well.”
Cheon Gu-nam said that and asked to shake hands.
But my hands were still in my pockets.
As I stared at him silently, Cheon Gu-nam smiled and took his hand away.
“Hahaha, Mr. Seo Kang-rim is so cool.”
Even though he was openly treating her coldly, Cheon Gu-nam just smiled.
Is it because he has a good personality or because he is good at acting?
He said with a still friendly face.
“Mr. Kangrim, you don’t have anyone to go with you yet, right?”
“Yes, but.”
“If you don’t mind, would you like to have the same party as me?”
He hadn’t even looked at my horoscope yet, but he seemed very interested in me.
As expected, after clearing Dosan’s room in one day, it seemed like there were many things that stood out.
Cheon Gu-nam continued talking incessantly.
“I’m also a fairly high rank, so it would be nice to go together. I’m at that level.”
He is also very good at lying.
It’s so obvious that it’s a paycheck.
I looked at him and said.
“Don’t you already have a party?”
“Hey, we can’t stay together forever, right?”
Just now, it seemed like he had just looked at his fingernails and discarded the paddles that were to be discarded.
Those people’s fortunes weren’t bad, but they didn’t seem to match Cheon Gu-nam’s surname.
I felt his gaze lightly touch my hand.
“How about it? From the second room onwards, you should come with me. My skills will be of help.”
Do you really think I’m a high rank, or are you just trying to see my fortune?
The latter was probably more likely.
I said, my hands still in my pockets.
“Hey, did you clear the first room?”
“No. Not yet… … .”
“You can’t go to the second room without clearing the first one. That’s absurd.”
Only then did Cheon Gu-nam’s lips harden a little.
He smiled, awkwardly rubbing the back of his head.
“Oh, well. You can help me with the first room too… … .”
“If you want to act together, first clear the first room and come back. Then I’ll think about it.”
After saying that, I left.
It was only after I returned to my room that I was able to take my hands out of my pockets.
If he finds out about my powers in this life, he’ll tell everyone.
I have to stay here for a few months, and I can’t keep my hands in my pockets all the time.
That’s why I was planning to deal with it in the second room, but it was a good thing for me that you approached me first.
Since each party has a separate magic zone, it would be easy to conceal anything that happens there.
Killing them would have been the easiest way, but I didn’t want to accumulate useless karma.
It wasn’t like there was any reason to risk the penalty and steal it.
Instead, I decided to use another method.
That way, other problems can be solved as well.
I thought for a moment and then got up from my seat.
* * *
‘Seo Kang-rim, I really don’t know what kind of person he is.’
Shin Soo-ah was managing her weapons in her room and thinking about Seo Kang-rim.
I was already a bit nervous, but a few days ago, after Seo Kang-rim told me about Cheon Gu-nam’s ability, I became even more nervous.
‘I thought you wanted to distance yourself from me, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.’
When he came here and offered to become his colleagues, Seo Kang-rim declined his offer.
Besides that, when I greeted him, he only replied and ended the conversation without really having a conversation.
Shin Soo-ah felt that he wanted to keep his distance.
I felt a little uncomfortable.
But this time, he came to me and advised me to be wary of Cheon Gu-nam.
‘He doesn’t seem like a bad person… … .’
One thing that Shin Soo Ah has come to know while watching Seo Kang-rim is that Seo Kang-rim hates getting involved with people.
Seo Kang-rim went hunting with Dokgo Jun once, but after that, he always went hunting alone.
Besides that, I rarely saw him spending his free time or talking to other people.
His days seemed to consist of nothing but fighting, hunting, and training.
It was easy to see Seo Kang-rim going in and out of the door several times a day.
A person who spends most of his day fighting.
A person who constantly pushes himself without resting.
As I looked at that sight, I became curious.
‘Why do you train like that? And all by yourself.’
