[The fate rank of ‘Seo Gangrim’ changes from ‘Insect Third Rank’ to ‘Insect Second Rank’!]
‘The fate level has changed?’
Seo Kang-rim couldn’t help but be surprised when he saw the notification window that appeared in front of him.
That was because it was impossible to change one’s given fortune and destiny.
Still, the fate rating increased, albeit slightly.
Is it because I regressed?
It was an encouraging event, but it wasn’t a situation to celebrate right away.
-Tch! Tch!
The crack that started in the center quickly spread out in all directions.
The remaining snowman is also on the verge of falling as the ground beneath his feet gives way.
Seol-in screamed and grabbed Seo Kang-rim’s leg.
-Grrrr… … !
Normally, I would have been able to escape, but my abilities had decreased due to the influence of water.
Seol-in glared as if to say, “Let’s die together.”
The moment Seol-in was about to fall down while holding onto Seo Kang-rim tightly.
-Kuaaaak!
There was a sharp sword stuck between Seol-in’s eyebrows.
Seol-in let go of Seo Kang-rim and screamed in pain as her bones were crushed and her flesh was pierced.
But there was already no foothold under Seo Kang-rim’s feet.
Just empty space with nowhere to grab onto.
The moment when Seo Kang-rim fell following Seol-in.
-Snap!
Someone grabbed Seo Kang-rim’s hand.
Seo Kang-rim looked up at the person holding him, hanging in the air.
“Mr. Kangrim! Are you okay?”
Shin Soo-ah was holding his hand.
She held onto the tree trunk with her left hand and held onto Seo Kang-rim with the other.
‘You came as expected, Shin Soo-ah.’
Seo Kang-rim expected her to come.
Shin Soo-ah must have heard the gunshots too.
The order to fire at Yoon Bom served two purposes.
One is to lure the Seol-in.
Another one is to inform Shin Soo Ah of the situation.
I believed that Shin Soo-ah, who was quick-witted, would have guessed that it was a crisis situation when she heard the gunshots.
I don’t know exactly when it will come, but it will come someday.
Because that’s the kind of person Seo Kang-rim knows, Shin Soo-ah.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, I survived.”
“Thank goodness it’s not too late. I’ll pull it up.”
“No, please come down first. I need to check if Seol-in is dead.”
Shinsooah lowered Seo Kangrim down by hanging a tree trunk like a rope.
After going down about 20 meters, the corpse of the snowman was clearly revealed.
One died instantly, and the other was still breathing.
After Seo Kang-rim stopped breathing, he hurried to do the most important thing.
[The ability ‘Steal the Four Pillars of Destiny’ is activated!]
[Steal the ability ‘Fighting Instinct’!]
One thing was stolen, and one more was left.
While Seo Kang-rim was examining Seol-in’s fortune-telling, his eyes fell on one place.
═══════════════
[Five Elements] Water
═══════════════
What if you could steal the Five Elements, not just abilities or powers?
When he gave the order to steal the Five Elements items, a notification window popped up in front of his eyes.
[Steal the Five Elements ‘Water’!]
‘I can steal the Five Elements too. Since I have little water, I get penalized when I’m underwater or when it rains, so I hope this helps.’
In his fortune telling, there is a lack of water.
Seo Kang-rim’s attribute is fire, but not all of his fortune is made of fire.
The eight characters, palja (八字), given according to a person’s fortune.
Each of the eight letters has a five element attribute.
Depending on which of these five elements is more prevalent, the four pillars of destiny are determined.
Seo Kang-rim gave an order in his head.
[Is it possible to change my five element attribute to water?]
Then, a notification window popped up.
[The ‘attribute’ of ‘Seo Gangrim’ has been changed to ‘water’!]
[‘Water Conquer Fire’ is lifted!]
[The reduced ability values will return to their original state!]
As soon as the water polarization was lifted, strength returned to my whole body.
Only then was Seo Kang-rim able to exhale comfortably.

Meanwhile, Shin Soo-ah, who had come down from behind, looked at Seol-in’s body.
She asked, pulling the knife stuck between her eyebrows.
“That’s amazing. Did you plan on catching it like this from the beginning?”
Shin Soo-ah pretended to be amazed.
Seo Kang-rim said while collecting Yeong-ok.
“You’re lucky. We’ve cut off the airway, so let’s go up now. There are injured people up there.”
In the meantime, there was a feeling of anxiety building up in a corner of Seo Kang-rim’s heart, wondering if Yun Gyul-wool had died.
As I was climbing up holding onto the vines, I saw Yun Bom there holding onto Yun Gyul.
Her shoulders were shaking along with the sobbing.
“Yoon Gyul-woo… … . Yoon Gyul-woo… … . Open your eyes… … .”
Seo Kang-rim’s face hardened at that sight.
Yun Gyul-woo’s face, now bloodless and cold, came into view.
Is he dead after all?
In the end, are humans destined to live according to their own destiny?
At that moment, someone’s faint groaning was heard.
“Uh, uh… … .”
At that sound, Yun Bom suddenly raised her head.
Yun Gyeo-wool opened his eyes with difficulty, groaning.
He said, blinking his eyes slowly.
“What is it… Sister?”
When Yoon Bom heard Yoon Gyul’s voice, tears welled up in her eyes.
Then, unlike before, he looked very angry and started hitting Yun Gyul-wool on the back.
“You idiot! You idiot!”
“It hurts! I’m sick… … !”
“Ah! I’m sorry!”
Yoon Bom was at a loss when she discovered Seo Kang Rim.
Tears welled up in her eyes again.
Yoon Bom bowed her head repeatedly in greeting while sitting down.
“Thank you! Thank you! Thanks to you, Oppa, Yun Gyul-wool is alive… …!”
Tears were still flowing down Yoon Bom’s cheeks.
Seo Kang-rim patted Yoon Bom’s shoulder.
“It’s because you lured me well. Let’s go back now.”
“yes!”
Seo Kang-rim fed the remaining pills to Yoon Gyul-wool, then carried him on his back and headed to the exit.
A door appeared between the snow and the darkness.
As soon as he entered the lobby, a notification window popped up in front of Seo Kang-rim.
[You have successfully conquered the third door, ‘Han Bing’s Room’!]
[Final result: 11/10]
[You have defeated 11 species!]
[Achieve amazing achievements to earn additional rewards!]
Seo Kang-rim’s expression didn’t change even after seeing the notification window.
There are 11 types of demons living in Han Bing Snowfields, not 10.
I already knew that if I caught all of those demons, I would receive a special reward.
What was more concerning was Yun Gyul-woo’s safety.
When Seo Kang-rim placed Yun Gyul-wool down near the Bibo Jangseung, color returned to Yun Gyul-wool’s face.
“Ah, now I feel like I can live a little… … .”
The arms and legs that had been so badly damaged were starting to find their places.
Yoon Bom and Yoon Gyul also seemed to have subconsciously sensed that fact, as their expressions brightened.
Yoon Bom said with her usual pointed expression.
“You idiot! Why did you go to a place like that alone?”
“Don’t yell. I’m sick… … . Ah, I’m hungry.”
Seo Kang-rim was watching the two people bickering as usual.
As I looked at Yun Gyul-wool, I remembered the message window that appeared just after I defeated Seol-in.
An event where fixed fate changes and fate level rises.
And now, a message was floating around for Yun Gyul-woo.
[The energy of ‘Baekhosal’ disappears from ‘Yoon Gyeo-ul’!]
[Fixed fate has changed!]
Could it be that the reason his fate level went up was because he killed an enemy he couldn’t kill and changed Yun Gyul-woo’s fate to die?
If you continue to change your destiny, you may be able to escape the rank of a lieutenant and reach a higher rank.
While I was lost in thought, another notification popped up.
[‘Yoon Bom’ thinks of you as her benefactor. The fates of ‘Seo Kang-rim’ and ‘Yoon Bom’ begin to intertwine!]
[‘Yoon Gyul-woo’ thinks of you as her benefactor. The fates of ‘Seo Kang-rim’ and ‘Yoon Gyul-woo’ begin to intertwine!]
Fates that were not connected in a previous life began to become entangled.
* * *
As night fell, silence fell over the magic world.
The eyes were silently swallowing up the entire scenery.
Even the demons living in this harsh environment are returning to their lairs and hiding.
A man was lying in the snow.
‘Damn, how did it end up like this… … .’
Every time Cheon Gu-nam exhaled, frozen white breath came out.
After being stabbed in the shoulder by Seo Kang-rim, he ran away in a panic.
He escaped to the lobby and received treatment, but his anger did not subside.
I wanted to hit him in the head by any means necessary.
He decided to launch a surprise attack while Seo Kang-rim was busy hunting.
So he returned to Han Bing’s room and started to track down Seo Kang Rim.
At first, I was able to easily find Seo Kang-rim’s traces, but in the process, I ended up in a dangerous zone.
While running away for a while after encountering strong demons.
The ground beneath my feet sank and I rolled down.
A situation where you can’t move because the wind is caught between the cracks.
Night came as if to make matters worse.
I was barely holding on by using up all the items I had, but now I was at my limit.
【Are you okay?】
【What should I do, what should I do?】
【Why isn’t anyone passing by?】
【Just bear with it for a little longer, I’ll do it somehow… . 】
I heard Cheorwon Do-ryeong’s voice worrying about Cheon Gu-nam.
But they were only sending messages and not actually helping.
Cheon Gu-nam cried out into the air.
“You crazy idiot! What kind of god are you! I shouldn’t have been receiving a god who would make me sick… …!”
He screamed in anger.
After that, Cheon Gu-nam continued to swear at me for a long time.
Then the voice of God was heard from the dark sky.
【hey.】
【Are you being a bit harsh?】
It would have been better to beg with all my might for help.
If Cheon Gu-nam had begged desperately, Cheorwon Do-ryeong would have found a way, even if it meant asking a god who was higher in rank than him.
However, it is the guests’ characteristic to be cold to rude people.
【You should reflect on yourself.】
【I’ll come back when I reflect.】
[‘Little Guest of the Plague’ temporarily terminates unpaid communication.]
“Huh? Cheorwon Do-ryeong! Cheorwon Do-ryeong!”
In an instant, the voice disappeared.
Cheon Gu-nam, in a panic, called out to Cheorwon Do-ryeong, but there was no answer.
When he was left alone, he became even angrier.
‘Why did it end up like this? I was the first person to conquer it… … . I, I’m the main character… … !’
I imagined a future where I would escape this place and become an awakened being who would receive everyone’s attention.
But the reality was different.
While he was pouring out all kinds of curses towards Cheorwon Do-ryeong and Seo Kang-rim.
-Sabak, sabak… … .
In the silence, someone’s footsteps could be heard.
Cheon Gu-nam raised his head, wondering if it might be the devil.
But the one looking down on you from above is not a demon, but a person.
Dokgo Jun was looking at him.
“Dokgo Jun… … !”
In an instant, Cheon Gu-nam’s face brightened.
It felt like a rope had been lowered from the sky.
However, unlike Cheon Gu-nam, who had a clearly happy expression on his face, Dokgo Jun still had a blank expression on his face.
He watched indifferently as Cheon Gu-nam was in danger.
“Cheon Gu-nam, what are you doing?”
