I was able to identify some skills that the nurse in front of me used. It was Blink and tentacle. On top of it, judging from the fact that parts of her body were reattaching itself to her body after being hit by Seokhyun, it was clear that she also had a regeneration skill.
âNeither the doctors nor the nurse are normal.â
The nurse stretched her tentacles towards Seokhyun at that moment. The air rippled as it brushed next to his head.
Glancing to my side, I could see Da-jeong also jump to the side to avoid the tentacles. At the same time, Da-jeongâs werewolf, which was clinging to the ceiling, ran at full speed towards the nurse.
âThatâs not an ordinary werewolfâs movements.â I mused. It seems like it had received buffs from being tamed and became stronger.
However, the nurse blocked its attack easily. She used her tentacle to wrap around the werewolfâs neck and swing it around to block Seokhyunâs attack.
Seokhyun, who was just about to punch, pulled his punch back. A good call in my opinion as he shouldnât have attacked Da-jeongâs werewolf. Itâs her first ever monster. So it would be special. If he killed it here, who knows what Da-jeong would do to him⊠Or meâŠ
Da-jeong rushed in and the nurse threw the werewolf at her. Something which looked like tears could be seen in her eyes.
âI Love Gimbap is mine! But you! YOUUUU!!!!â
âJust who is yours? Heâs mine you bitch!â After avoiding the werewolf, Da-jeong raised the mithril blades in her hands and climbed the wall. A white brilliance emerged from the darkness along with a thump. Seconds later, I realized that Da-jeong had cut a few of the nurseâs tentacles.
However, the nurse didnât care at all and just continued to stretch her tentacles out to contain Seokhyun.
Is there no limit to her regeneration ability?
âHeup!!â Seokhyun, who had been striking the tentacles for a while, grabbed a tentacle blitzing towards him without avoiding it. A struggle of strength ensued. And before long, Seokhyun came out victorious; He lifted the nurse away from the ground using his ogre-like strength.
Just when Seokhyun was about to give her a taste of his high kick, the nurseâs body disappeared and appeared behind me.
As soon as I heard her voice, I pulled out a mithril blade from the dimension slot and swung it towards my back. Blood splattered from the nurseâs face and several of her tentacles fell to the floor.
âKyaaaak!â She hurriedly backed away with a shriek, clutching her hand that had turned into tentacles with her other hand. Using that opportunity, Da-jeong and Seokhyun jumped towards the nurse again.
Meanwhile, I could see the three masked men running towards me. All of them were screaming with their eyes red. However, my gut feeling told me that their red eyes werenât the result of fighting instinct skill. It was probably the effect from the brainwashing.
âI Love Gimbap! Do you know how much I wanted to meet you?â
âYou canât say you donât know me!â
âYou bastard! We will pay you back for what youâve done to us in the Wetland Labyrinth!!!!â
Wetland labyrinth? Why in the world is that place coming out from their mouths?
When I saw the weapon the masked mensâ had in their hand, I thought that I had seen it somewhere. But since everyone was wearing a mask, it was hard to tell who was who.
I put my mithril blade into the dimension slot and clenched my fist tight. The masked man on the left who saw the blade suddenly disappear twitched ever so slightly.
I activated a few of my skills and ran towards the guy. The incoming long knife was a bit scary, but I decided to trust my senses as well as regenerative power and pushed on.
The long knives narrowly passed my shoulders and head. I bowed to avoid the targeted attack of the masked man and got up straight away. But he noticed my attempt to attack and immediately leaned back to avoid it.
âLook at this guy.â My eyes narrowed. Even someone with a high level of awareness wouldnât be able to avoid this. Which means, the masked man in front of me must have a sensory skill.
The man retreated quickly, and another masked man swung his longknife with terrifying speed at me.
âThis guy is a body strengthening-type.â
I blocked their attacks with a dimension wall and stepped back. Behind me, Seokhyun and Da-jeong were fighting with the nurse who was screaming strange noises.
A smile crept across the face of one particular masked man.
âHeh, itâs not as easy as before, is it?â
âBack then, you were lucky we were in a closed space⊠You wonât be as lucky this time around.â
âHave we ever met each other?â When I asked, all three of them shook their shoulders.
âHave we met? Are you seriously asking that? You met us in the Wetland Labyrinth. Have you already forgotten?â
âLetâs just kill that bastard.â
âIf we break his head a little, he might remember it.â
Now I was sure about their identity. The masked man trio were those who I killed in the Wetland Labyrinth because they attacked Geom-in.
But, how can they be here? They were obviously dead.
Resurrection itself was possible, but those guys had no Resurrection Scroll back then.
Was there any kind of Unique Skill which could bring the dead back to life?
I took out a mithril blade from the dimension slot at that moment. The three masked men who saw it mocked me.
âThat bastard is flustered!â
âYou murderer. Didnât we say we havenât killed anyone else before?â
âIt must have been because you donât have the ability to do so.â
The conversation ended here. Even if I couldnât kill them, it should be okay to cut their limbs. I climbed the wall and ran at them.
âThat bastard climbed the wall!â
âWhat the fuck are you doing? Are you in the circus or what!â
I spawned the dimension wall mid air and changed my direction using it. The masked men swung their long knives in shock when I suddenly rushed at them. However, the Mithril Blade was much harder than the longknife. Thus, when my sword clashed with theirs, their long knife shattered to pieces right away.
âHuh?â One of them let out such a voice as I grabbed the masked manâs arm and cut its mask off his face. After some resistance, the manâs arm was cut cleanly from the shoulder blade below. But to my surprise, the masked man who had to struggle with pain was able to push me away.
Not only physical reinforcement, does he also have pain tolerance?
As I was being pushed back, I observed the manâs shoulder blade. There was nothing on it. Not even blood dripping out.
âThese guys⊠arenât human?â Then Iâll kill them. I gave strength to remove the mask man that was stuck to me and also blocked the attack of the other two. Then, using the gap, I took out a shotgun from the dimension slot.
When I finished reloading the shotgun, the Masked Man stuttered. âIf you kill meâŠâ
The masked manâs head, which took the brunt of the impact of shotgun shells from close range, turned into a beehive in an instant. Surprisingly, he was able to hold on to his two feet for a few seconds before finally collapsing to the ground.
Dajeong screamed at that moment.
âItâs okay! These bastards are not human!â
ăYou have earned 10 pointsă
If I had killed humans, the points I would get was 50. Therefore, it was safe to say that this masked man was anything but human. Judging from their durability and point count, it looks like they were something like ghouls. But how did they turn humans into a ghoul?
I aimed at the heads of the other terrified masked man. But at that moment, the nurse suddenly appeared. I quickly spread the dimensional prison in front of her as she approached with her tentacles wide open as if wanting to hug me.
After the nurse disappeared with a scream, only the two masked men were left. Seokhyun and Da-jeong ran to them and started to beat them to pulp.
âThey are not human, so you can kill them.â
âNot human? Are you sure?â
After a while, the two masked men met a tragic death. As expected, Da-jeong and Seokhyun did not become murderers. After that, we quickly circled the dimensional prison portal.
Da-jeong crossed her arms and stomped the ground rhythmically with her feet.
âI overheard it just now, but you have already killed them before?â
âYeah. You were there too when I did it. They were the three guys who attacked Geom-in in the Wetland Labyrinth.â
âThatâs them? They looked different!â
I touched one of the corpses with my foot and showed her the part where I cut him.
âThereâs no blood, right? Moreover, I only got 10 points after killing this guy. It means, heâs a ghoul, not a human.â
âDid they put a human soul into a ghoul body? Is that even possible?â
âThere is a skill which resurrects someone as long as he has points, a skill that could fully resurrect someone wouldnât be so strange.â
Seokhyun scratched his bald head and stood on where the nurse would come out.
âThen, thereâs a possibility that the woman is not human, right?â
âI think so. Though, I need you guys to cut her legs or arms first, not the tentacles to make sure.â
Da-jeong thought for a long time and said, âIâm sure those who are behind the doctor and the nurse are experimenting with humans. The Sniffles and ghouls which act like humans are the proof.â
âIâm sure they have an end goal⊠letâs hear the story when the nurse comes out.â
âDo you think she will tell us? First of all, sheâs a villain.â Da-jeong tilted her head.
âWe have to show her that we are crueler than villains.â
âThatâs a good way.â Da-jeong nodded.
Eventually, the dimensional prison flung the nurse back to reality. Unlike when she entered, her nurseâs uniform was now tattered in many places.
âUGHHHH!!!â Her tentacles and everything else was devoid of any strength. Her face was also painted with fear.
âI-I-I kept falling off the cliff! It was endless.â
Without showing any pity, Seokhyun grabbed her from behind and while Da-jeong stood a few distance away to prepare if she escaped with blink.
Contrary to their preparedness, the nurse only laughed. âTo think you can use your spatial ability like thatâŠâ
I pressed the blade to her chin. âI know you are not human. So it would not matter if I kill you. Now, Iâm going to ask you something, okay?â
âIt doesnât matter. I already achieved my objective anyway⊠What are you curious about?â
Surprisingly, she surrendered easily.
âTell me your identity and purpose.â
âIf I tell you that, will you go with me? By the way, I didnât give up on you. Someday Iâll eat youâŠâ
âWith what? You donât have any p***y arenât you?â
âI can just make one.â
Upon hearing her words, Da-jeong smiled and squatted down in front of the nurse.
âDo you want to do it together with us? Seonghoâs ass is really cool.â
âI like that proposition.â
ââŠit was my fault for believing.â I gave strength to the blade.
The nurse said hastily after that. âYouâre wasting your time. I will just come back to life.â
âYou have a Resurrection Scroll? Why am I not surprisedâŠâ
She pushed her long torn corners of her lips upwards.
âScroll is outdated. Can you see the thing on my back?â When I looked at it, an unknown inscription was engraved on her smooth back. It seemed like it was the engraved version of the Resurrection Scroll.
âI have thought about it before. You guys have quite a bit of information; Your power also seems to be strong enough. So, why are you doing this?â
The nurse answered with something we didnât expect.
âTell us everything.â
At my prompt, she smiled and continued.
âYou guys are misunderstanding something. Even though we have had great power and have done many things⊠We are just like you guys. We are just trying to survive in this apocalypse.â
âIsnât it too much for something like that?â
She looked straight at me. From the shape of her mouth I could conclude that she was laughing.
âYou have also killed people before, havenât you? We are just like you⊠But, we just put the corpse to good use.â
As always, talking to them was like talking to a wall.
As soon as I heard the answer, I cut off her throat. Her severed head rolled on the floor and her skin stopped wriggling. After that, her body was engulfed in the light and disappeared.
When Da-jeong was about to snap her fingers, I told her. âThereâs no need for that. After all, she died, she didnât use Blink to run away.â
âShit⊠Iâm so annoyed all of a sudden. We got no answer!!â
Seokhyun looked out the window as he said so. When we followed his action, we could see one of the men who was brainwashed by the nurse being attacked by survivors.
âBoth the doctor and the nurse are not invincible. If we kill them, they die.â
âWhat are you talking about? Of course they will die if we kill them.â
âI mean, theyâre not strong to the point we canât fight them. We just have to level up and collect items diligently to fight them.â
Well, what he said was right. If they were an absolute existence, they wouldnât have needed me in the first place.
In other words, they were also like us; they couldnât use the entire system. However, as of now, itâs clear that theyâre ahead of us judging by the fact that they had Resurrection Scrolls engraved on their bodies and their ability to resurrect the dead.
I put my arms around Da-jeong and Seokhyunâs shoulders.
âOkay, letâs work hard to raise our level.â
âBut you know, I found it weird how the nurse is weak compared to the doctor from before.â
âItâs because sheâs a nurse. She has less to study than a doctor.â
âWhat bullshit are you talking about right now?â
We got out of the hospital talking about this and that with Da-jeongâs werewolf in tow.
We devoted ourselves to hunting in the Yongsan-gu area. And just like me and Da-jeong, Seokhyun gained an additional effect once he reached level 30. His body was engulfed in light, and once he reappeared, his looks became astonishingly young. All of his tiny scars were also gone, and his slender body was devoid of muscles.
Da-jeong touched Seokhyunâs body while her eyes looked at him with eyes full of doubt.
âBe honest with me. You arenât Rapwi, arenât you?â
âSSEEEGGGGGGSSSSSSSSSSS.â
âAh, you are him, huh? But how come your appearance changed so much?â
âI donât know either. My body became much lighter. My stats have also increased by a lot.â
In a nutshell, his body had been transformed into a body suitable for
I opened the portal in front of the National Museum and started hunting. The matter of national treasure would be taken care of by the members inside the Shelter.
When dealing with the nurse, I ate quite a bit of experience, so I quickly rose to level 34. Only when the shelter members asked me to move the portal a few days later did I rise to level 35.
ăLevel has risen to 35ă
ăYou have earned 20 pointsă
ăAs you has reached level 35, an additional effect will be added to your unique skillă
ăDimensional Warehouseă
âDid anything good come out?â
âThe skill name is Dimensional Warehouse. It sounds shabby, but it should be surprisingly useful.â
If it has the effect I wanted, it would be perfect.
We decided to return to the museum and look at the additional effects.
âOpen the Dimensional Warehouse.â As soon as I finished speaking, a large door appeared in the vacant lot in front of the museum. Compared to the commonly used portal, it was several times larger in size. Since Da-jeong and Seokhyunâs mouths were open, it seemed that it was visible to both of them.
âWh-why is it so big?â
âEven the truck will be able to come in.â
As I entered, a huge space greeted me. Da-jeong knocked on the door from outside, but there was no sound. I waved my hand to her and looked around. The sheer size of the place would accommodate few houses easily.
âThe air is a bit stuffy, thoughâŠâ
The floor and walls were all made of white material. When I knocked at them with all my power as a test, it didnât even budge. I went out and took Dingo into the warehouse. Unexpectedly, the guy stopped moving immediately after entering.
The guy who had just jumped in suddenly ceased to move.
Does time stop in this place?
Am I moving because I am the owner of this warehouse?
âIf time stops, it means that anything I put inside wouldnât be damaged, right?â Itâs a setting that only appeared in a fantasy novel, but since our current world didnât come short compared to any fantasy novel, Iâm not surprised at all.
I was satisfied with the functionality of the warehouse. All in all, itâs a cheat-like skill. When I took Dingo outside, he panted and ran again, continuing from the point before he froze. Then, I explained the functions of the dimensional warehouse to Da-jeong and Seokhyun.
âIf you put food inside, I donât think it will ever rot.â
âI think so too.â When I tested it, the food also froze in time.
Da-jeong pulled my cheek as soon as I went outside.
âOnly you get all the good things. You greedy man!â
Anyway, now I had a place to store the treasures. I eagerly carried the treasures that the shelter members had moved to the warehouse. The treasures kept in the art museum which was burnt were those that were less famous, but the ones here were real national treasures.
As I gave up on things that were too big like a stone pagoda and made my way to the National Museum, spring came.
On a certain day, I saw a grotesque plant perched on the ground around the pond that grew at an incredible rate.
At that sight, I realized.
I was able to identify some skills that the nurse in front of me used. It was Blink and tentacle. On top of it, judging from the fact that parts of her body were reattaching itself to her body after being hit by Seokhyun, it was clear that she also had a regeneration skill.
âNeither the doctors nor the nurse are normal.â
The nurse stretched her tentacles towards Seokhyun at that moment. The air rippled as it brushed next to his head.
Glancing to my side, I could see Da-jeong also jump to the side to avoid the tentacles. At the same time, Da-jeongâs werewolf, which was clinging to the ceiling, ran at full speed towards the nurse.
âThatâs not an ordinary werewolfâs movements.â I mused. It seems like it had received buffs from being tamed and became stronger.
However, the nurse blocked its attack easily. She used her tentacle to wrap around the werewolfâs neck and swing it around to block Seokhyunâs attack.
Seokhyun, who was just about to punch, pulled his punch back. A good call in my opinion as he shouldnât have attacked Da-jeongâs werewolf. Itâs her first ever monster. So it would be special. If he killed it here, who knows what Da-jeong would do to him⊠Or meâŠ
Da-jeong rushed in and the nurse threw the werewolf at her. Something which looked like tears could be seen in her eyes.
âI Love Gimbap is mine! But you! YOUUUU!!!!â
âJust who is yours? Heâs mine you bitch!â After avoiding the werewolf, Da-jeong raised the mithril blades in her hands and climbed the wall. A white brilliance emerged from the darkness along with a thump. Seconds later, I realized that Da-jeong had cut a few of the nurseâs tentacles.
However, the nurse didnât care at all and just continued to stretch her tentacles out to contain Seokhyun.
Is there no limit to her regeneration ability?
âHeup!!â Seokhyun, who had been striking the tentacles for a while, grabbed a tentacle blitzing towards him without avoiding it. A struggle of strength ensued. And before long, Seokhyun came out victorious; He lifted the nurse away from the ground using his ogre-like strength.
Just when Seokhyun was about to give her a taste of his high kick, the nurseâs body disappeared and appeared behind me.
As soon as I heard her voice, I pulled out a mithril blade from the dimension slot and swung it towards my back. Blood splattered from the nurseâs face and several of her tentacles fell to the floor.
âKyaaaak!â She hurriedly backed away with a shriek, clutching her hand that had turned into tentacles with her other hand. Using that opportunity, Da-jeong and Seokhyun jumped towards the nurse again.
Meanwhile, I could see the three masked men running towards me. All of them were screaming with their eyes red. However, my gut feeling told me that their red eyes werenât the result of fighting instinct skill. It was probably the effect from the brainwashing.
âI Love Gimbap! Do you know how much I wanted to meet you?â
âYou canât say you donât know me!â
âYou bastard! We will pay you back for what youâve done to us in the Wetland Labyrinth!!!!â

However, the Mithril Blade was much harder than the longknife. Thus, when my sword clashed with theirs, their long knife shattered to pieces right away.
âHuh?â One of them let out such a voice as I grabbed the masked manâs arm and cut its mask off his face. After some resistance, the manâs arm was cut cleanly from the shoulder blade below. But to my surprise, the masked man who had to struggle with pain was able to push me away.

Without showing any pity, Seokhyun grabbed her from behind and while Da-jeong stood a few distance away to prepare if she escaped with blink.
Contrary to their preparedness, the nurse only laughed. âTo think you can use your spatial ability like thatâŠâ
I pressed the blade to her chin. âI know you are not human. So it would not matter if I kill you. Now, Iâm going to ask you something, okay?â

âDo you want to do it together with us? Seonghoâs ass is really cool.â
âI like that proposition.â
ââŠit was my fault for believing.â I gave strength to the blade.
The nurse said hastily after that. âYouâre wasting your time. I will just come back to life.â
âYou have a Resurrection Scroll? Why am I not surprisedâŠâ
She pushed her long torn corners of her lips upwards.
âScroll is outdated. Can you see the thing on my back?â When I looked at it, an unknown inscription was engraved on her smooth back. It seemed like it was the engraved version of the Resurrection Scroll.
âI have thought about it before. You guys have quite a bit of information; Your power also seems to be strong enough. So, why are you doing this?â

ăDimensional Warehouseă
âDid anything good come out?â
âThe skill name is Dimensional Warehouse. It sounds shabby, but it should be surprisingly useful.â
If it has the effect I wanted, it would be perfect.
We decided to return to the museum and look at the additional effects.
âOpen the Dimensional Warehouse.â As soon as I finished speaking, a large door appeared in the vacant lot in front of the museum. Compared to the commonly used portal, it was several times larger in size. Since Da-jeong and Seokhyunâs mouths were open, it seemed that it was visible to both of them.
âWh-why is it so big?â
âEven the truck will be able to come in.â
As I entered, a huge space greeted me. Da-jeong knocked on the door from outside, but there was no sound. I waved my hand to her and looked around. The sheer size of the place would accommodate few houses easily.
âThe air is a bit stuffy, thoughâŠâ
The floor and walls were all made of white material. When I knocked at them with all my power as a test, it didnât even budge. I went out and took Dingo into the warehouse. Unexpectedly, the guy stopped moving immediately after entering.
The guy who had just jumped in suddenly ceased to move.
Does time stop in this place?
Am I moving because I am the owner of this warehouse?
âIf time stops, it means that anything I put inside wouldnât be damaged, right?â Itâs a setting that only appeared in a fantasy novel, but since our current world didnât come short compared to any fantasy novel, Iâm not surprised at all.
I was satisfied with the functionality of the warehouse. All in all, itâs a cheat-like skill. When I took Dingo outside, he panted and ran again, continuing from the point before he froze. Then, I explained the functions of the dimensional warehouse to Da-jeong and Seokhyun.
âIf you put food inside, I donât think it will ever rot.â
âI think so too.â When I tested it, the food also froze in time.
Da-jeong pulled my cheek as soon as I went outside.
âOnly you get all the good things. You greedy man!â
Anyway, now I had a place to store the treasures. I eagerly carried the treasures that the shelter members had moved to the warehouse. The treasures kept in the art museum which was burnt were those that were less famous, but the ones here were real national treasures.
As I gave up on things that were too big like a stone pagoda and made my way to the National Museum, spring came.
On a certain day, I saw a grotesque plant perched on the ground around the pond that grew at an incredible rate.
At that sight, I realized.
