Jehyun and Baekyung spoke simultaneously. A brief silence followed, and Matgom laughed incredulously.

Amidst the noise, the chat froze at DuChil’s words. Jehyun nodded in agreement and asked Baekyung, who was still bickering with Matgom.

“Quiet down. Baekyung, you’re sure you selected over-saturation, right?”

Habaek→ Yes, I’m sure.

Baekyung’s voice had no hint of hesitation. Confident in the over-saturation dungeon selection, Jehyun nodded and reset the dungeon.

“It’s a bug. There’s no way Elka’s party cleared over-saturation in 15 minutes.”

Matgom→ Really?

Contempt→ Well, over-saturation might have come out really easy?

“No matter how easy, we just saw. Over-saturation wouldn’t be cleared as easily as our relaxed saturation ranking run. And they cleared it faster than us.”

Read the complete chapter at Lily on the Valley without random text

Even if there was a slight difference in start time, ElkaRose’s party couldn’t have cleared the true over-saturation this quickly.

It would have taken 20 minutes to regroup after even one wipe, and if they succeeded at a similar time, they likely cleared the saturation dungeon too. The first clear achievement probably popped because they also entered on ‘over-saturation’ difficulty.

Boss→ Ah! Did they mess up the dungeon connections again?

“This has happened before, remember?”

For the best reading experience, visit lilyonthevalley.com

A few years ago, when the previous max-level dungeon, the Ghost Shop, was updated, the normal difficulty connected to saturation, and saturation to normal. Light users who entered the normal dungeon were shredded without knowing what happened.

So there haven’t been bugs for a while. Jehyun sighed and clicked the dungeon entrance.

Over-saturation (Re-entry wait time 47:32)

Visit Lily on the Valley to read full chapter without gibberish

Saturation and over-saturation dungeons, accessible twice a week, restrict re-entry for one hour after the first boss clear. After that, a second entry is allowed until the weekly maintenance on Monday. The wait time on over-saturation proved they had entered the fake one. Jehyun clicked the saturation dungeon entry button.

“I just opened saturation. Let’s go in and check.”

The loading screen appeared, and soon the screen brightened, showing Healer in front of Engel’s escort ship. Seeing Habaek enter beside him, Jehyun waited for his move before running towards Iron Fist Hix.

‘Fierce Iron Fist Hix’

As expected, Hix, who should have been in over-saturation, was there. The party members who entered later gathered around Jehyun, making incredulous gestures.

“Yeah, let’s clear this. They might revoke their titles.”

When the difficulties were swapped at the Ghost Shop, maintenance was conducted about seven hours after the server opened. Users who cleared the saturation dungeon on normal received first clear titles, which were later revoked along with the achievements.

However, he couldn’t quite remember who ended up with the first clear title. Was it the party that first cleared the saturation dungeon? Jehyun tilted his head and activated the buffs.

…Is Matgom interested in SpellChecker? Jehyun stared at the screen with a suspicious look. Was it because he had become gay, or was it really that the two… No, Matgom seemed suspicious. Since the guild meeting, SpellChecker seemed to show interest in Contempt.

Saying he was honorable compared to someone whose manhood had disappeared, it sounded like bragging about size. Jehyun frowned, staring at the chat uneasily, then shook his head.

The world might revolve around oneself, but just because he was gay didn’t mean everyone around him was. He thought it was just typical male banter and was about to tell them to quiet down and start when a speech bubble appeared above Habaek’s head, and everyone except him burst into laughter.

“The gate.”

As the Raptor, Mallorca, clad in black armor, swung his spear, a black gate opened to the north of the map, sucking in characters like a black hole.

In a hurry, Jehyun used his mobility skills to get out of the gate’s range and ran to the energy feedback device located at the map’s edge.

Raptor Army Commander Mallorca I won’t let things go as you wish.

With a guttural growl, the voice of the voice actor playing Mallorca resonated. Then, with a clang, the spear in Mallorca’s hand began to glow black as the boss started swinging his spear.

For the best reading experience, visit lilyonthevalley.com

“Right side first.”

Jehyun deftly dodged Mallorca’s attacks and turned the camera. Thud, thud, thud, Mallorca’s spear struck the ground on the right three times, then once on the left, and as it struck the right again, black smoke emerged from the gate to the north, forming Raptor’s arms.

Support us by visiting our official site at lilyonthevalley.com

Hundreds of arms grotesquely elongated and swept across Mallorca’s right field. It was the unavoidable, unresurrectable instant-kill move ‘Mother’s Call.’

Before ‘Mother’s Call’ was activated, even the ground-stomping attacks were unavoidable, unresurrectable instant kills, requiring players to quickly move out of the range. However, the timing to avoid Mallorca’s ground-stomping was so precise and short that many found it difficult.

Contempt→ Ah…! I got caught…

Contempt, the only weak link in Jehyun’s party, struggled with this pattern due to his class being a chain swordsman without mobility skills and slow movement speed.

When caught by ‘Mother’s Call,’ the corpse is dragged to the Raptors’ home planet. To save them, someone must operate the feedback device outside while another enters the gate to resurrect. Alternatively, operate the feedback device first to pull the corpse out before resurrecting.

The crucial part was the next pattern in about ten seconds, which would cause a wipe if all five weren’t alive.

Baekyung’s firm voice reassured him. Trusting the words of the most reliable person, he used his mobility skill. Using ‘God’s Footsteps,’ he approached the gate and jumped in without hesitation. The screen changed, revealing a dark map.

The trees were melting, the ground was boiling with poison. The sky was covered in black clouds, and no living creatures were in sight. This was the Raptors’ home planet, Laptiris, filled only with death.

For the best reading experience, visit lilyonthevalley.com

The Raptors had barely opened a gate to Caplet before Laptiris’s destruction. They released subspecies Raptors to terraform Caplet into Laptiris and planned to settle there, enduring the time of death.

The ghosts of Raptors remaining in Laptiris were the ones who dragged Contempt away. They were ghosts under the command of the legion commander Mallorca, leading the last of the Raptors.

Counting down the remaining time, Jehyun searched for Contempt. Fortunately, Contempt’s corpse was not far from the gate. He reached it with 7 seconds remaining. The resurrection casting time was 3 seconds. Jehyun hit the resurrection button and instructed Baekyung.

“Activate the feedback device now.”

Activating the energy feedback device set up by Gaetron reversed the gate, taking 4 seconds to bring them back to Mallorca’s location. Watching Healer kneel and resurrect Contempt, Jehyun gave instructions.

“Contempt and I will come out at the gate. I’ll take number 4, Contempt takes 5. Matgom takes 1, Habaek 2, Noona 3.”

Normally, Contempt would handle 2 or 3, but his recent death meant he didn’t have time to move that far. Seeing Contempt take his place behind him, Jehyun turned to face Mallorca.

After saying this, Mallorca’s spear began swirling around like a vortex. Gothic-style numbers appeared above Matgom’s head, indicating 1, followed by 2 and 3 for Habaek and Boss, and 4 and 5 for Jehyun and Contempt.

You feel the effect of Reappearance of Laptiris (4).

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

Reappearance of Laptiris, added in over-saturation, was a pattern that would devastate the surroundings as many times as the debuff number every 10 seconds. Healer, with (4), would trigger the skill 4 times over 40 seconds.

Characters affected by Reappearance of Laptiris would see their HP drop to 0 after 10 seconds, turning the ground around them into dead Laptiris terrain. Entering this terrain lowered all stats, making it impossible to continue.

Support us by visiting our official site at lilyonthevalley.com

The key was that if a player died to Mallorca’s sweep attack after the curse of Reappearance of Laptiris, they could clear the debuff stack without turning the area into wasteland.

So party members had to take hits to clear their stacks and then survive subsequent attacks. Being a healer, Jehyun couldn’t afford to die, so he gave number 5 to Contempt, but whether Contempt could handle all 5 stacks was uncertain. Jehyun briefed with a worried expression.

It had been over 8 hours since they entered Mallorca’s Tomb over-saturation. Jehyun’s party had swiftly broken through Ansius, but getting used to Mallorca’s pattern took a lot of time, making it a matter of which party made fewer mistakes.

One factor narrowing the gap between the parties was the presence of a chain swordsman in Jehyun’s party, while ElkaRose’s party lacked one.

This was the final pattern. Once overcome, a shield would appear, and breaking the shield would exhaust Mallorca. The problem was the high DPS required to break the shield, but as long as all five were alive, it was manageable.

The nervous Contempt had spent over 10 seconds dodging the instant-kill attacks, causing the final debuff to explode and devastate the surroundings. If Contempt was left alone, he would die from the instant-kill, and there would be no way to break the ensuing shield.

Boss → Not giving us a moment’s rest, huh.

“There’s no time to rest! We still need more people.”

Sangjae → What? Already thinking about the raid?

Seeing the clear message, Sangjae realized the run was over and joined the voice chat. He was there to congratulate them, but Jehyun was already setting the rules, leaving Sangjae feeling exasperated. Jehyun laughed incredulously and replied.

“Already, Hyung? We only have two weeks left.”

Habaek → We need to prepare in advance. Perfect clears aren’t a joke.

“Exactly. Perfect clears aren’t a joke, everyone.”

Baekyung added in a firm voice. My Baekyung, always on the same page. Jehyun smiled, thinking of Baekyung, and chided the guild members. Nitath, who had sneaked in, whispered softly.

Nitath → Wow… I’m just going to leave again!

“Nitath’s here? Where are you going? Listen to the announcement since you’re here. Everyone, gather in front of Hellkaras in an hour. We need to practice whenever we can.”

Sangjae → Ugh, shouldn’t have joined.

Although everything from Comrade’s Rescue to the clear happened so fast, Contempt was deeply moved by Jehyun’s sacrifice to save him.

Of course, it was more about not missing a perfect opportunity than specifically saving Contempt, but regardless, Contempt spoke like someone who had been profoundly moved by his lord’s grace.

His phone suddenly rang, so Jehyun’s reply was brief, making Boss laugh and tease Contempt. But Jehyun didn’t have time to bother with that and turned off his mic, taking off his headset.

The caller was Baekyung. As soon as he hit the call button, he heard Baekyung’s voice, which he had just heard through the headset.

• Sunbae.

“Yeah.”

• You’ll have dinner, right? Can we eat at my place and do the raid together here?

Understanding Baekyung’s desire to play together, Jehyun found the question endearing. Smiling, he quickly thought it over.

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

Perfect clears weren’t possible at Baekyung’s place, but raid practice was fine. Or perhaps practicing at Baekyung’s place for the next two weeks? That should be enough time to get comfortable. Deciding, Jehyun grinned and answered.

“Alright. I’ll come down soon. What should we eat?”

• I’ll handle it!

“You’ll cook?”

• Yes. …Don’t you like that?

Unlike Jehyun, who could barely manage instant noodles, Baekyung could actually cook. Baekyung’s hesitant question made Jehyun laugh briefly, finding him cute.

“No, I like it. I’ll be right down. Wait a bit.”

• Sure, take your time.

Since they started dating, Baekyung had become a bit softer with Jehyun. Being 10cm taller and so big that Shin Jehyun seemed to disappear when standing in front of him, Baekyung, with his gentle responses and lowered eyes, looked like a puppy to Jehyun.

So cute… so adorable… really cute… Jehyun laughed, snapping back to reality after a while, and went to the bathroom. There, he washed his face, debated for a moment, then sprayed cologne lightly and changed into fresh clothes before heading down to the 14th floor.

“Baekyung.”

“Sunbae!”

After knocking on the door of 1402, it opened shortly, revealing Baekyung in an apron.

Wearing a black t-shirt, gray sweatpants, and a black cotton apron, Baekyung looked quite sexy. Jehyun met his eyes, greeted him, and stepped inside.

“No way…”

But the smell lingering in the air was unusual. Jehyun squinted as he followed the smiling Baekyung into the kitchen. There, on the table, a mini induction stove was bubbling with rose cream tteokbokki. Jehyun looked up at Baekyung, laughing incredulously.

“Are you eating tteokbokki all the time because of me?”

Support us by visiting our official site at lilyonthevalley.com

“No. I like tteokbokki. I like making tteokbokki for you, Sunbae.”

Baekyung had known for months that Shin Jehyun liked tteokbokki. He discovered it when he visited Jehyun’s house and saw that the delivery app’s favorites list had dozens of tteokbokki places saved. Many people at school also tried to lure Shin Jehyun to drinking parties by offering to buy him tteokbokki.

For the best reading experience, visit lilyonthevalley.com

So, they often ate tteokbokki together. Once, curious about how often they could eat it, Baekyung chose tteokbokki for every meal for a week, but Jehyun never showed any sign of getting tired of it. For Jehyun, tteokbokki was truly soul food. Baekyung didn’t particularly like tteokbokki, but if Jehyun loved it, he was fine eating it every day.

“You like making tteokbokki for me?”

Jehyun burst into laughter at Baekyung’s almost fanatical statement. He gripped Baekyung’s shoulders, laughing, then playfully raised his eyebrows.

“When will you stop using honorifics with me? You can speak casually.”

“…I can’t do that.”

But Baekyung shook his head firmly. Despite Jehyun saying it was okay multiple times, Baekyung stubbornly refused. The reason was simple. He didn’t want to speak casually because he feared his tone might become rough.

Being comfortable with Jehyun, he worried that his tone might unconsciously change to how he spoke in the game.

“Why?”

Jehyun mimicked Baekyung’s tone, laughing.

“If you speak casually, I’ll give you a kiss.”

With a playful smile, Jehyun’s words made Baekyung bite his lip, looking caught off guard. But despite his surprise, Baekyung didn’t fall for it.

Instead, he grabbed Jehyun’s shoulders and, in a sudden move, leaned in to kiss Jehyun’s cheek. With a light smack, their skin touched and parted, leaving Jehyun blinking in surprise.

“If you don’t do it, I’ll do it.”

The subtly sweet voice made his face flush. Conscious of his heating cheeks, Jehyun looked at Baekyung, then awkwardly turned away.

While the flustered novice Shin Jehyun was processing his emotions, Baekyung, now composed, guided him to a chair. Serving tteokbokki onto Jehyun’s plate and watching him eat, Baekyung began,

“What will you do about the empty raid slots?”

“Hmm… I’m still thinking.”

Read the complete chapter at Lily on the Valley without random text

With the update of Mallorca over-saturation dungeon, Capital Studio made an unprecedented announcement, recommending a 30-player raid for Hellkaras’s Sanctuary, set to take place in two weeks.

Unlike other raid groups that ran with 30 players, Jehyun’s Hellkaras runs were done with 20. This fixed 20-player party had been maintained for nearly a year before the server merge, formed almost entirely by Jehyun from the Countess server.

Support us by visiting our official site at lilyonthevalley.com

Alongside Animal Farm, it was the only other sustained raid group, but the server merge created vacancies, leaving it unattended recently. There was no need to run the saturation raids before over-saturation came out.

The notice from Cast was practically directed at Jehyun’s raid group, giving them a heads-up to fill ten more spots before the patch day to avoid last-minute scrambles.

Support us by visiting our official site at lilyonthevalley.com

Have they lost their minds? That was his first thought. He couldn’t believe their generosity and kept pondering while attempting the Mallorca perfect clear. It seemed new patterns requiring 30 players had been added to Hellkaras.

“Do you think we can just fill the entry slots and run with 20?”

“If they issued a notice, it might be difficult.”

“Right…”

For the best reading experience, visit lilyonthevalley.com

Jephyun chewed on the savory tteokbokki, lost in thought.

Currently, the fixed raid group didn’t even have 15 members. Assuming three unresponsive members in the group chat would leave, there’d be a bit over 10. Adding raid-capable guild members from Jangji and new recruits, they’d have around 20.

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

That meant finding nearly ten more for the perfect clear challenge. Running a raid group filled with almost a third new people seemed daunting.

Hellkaras took two weeks for the first clear after its debut. The pattern wasn’t particularly difficult. Although they didn’t get the perfect clear, Jehyun’s first run with 30 people showed it took time for 30 to flawlessly execute patterns.

Support us by visiting our official site at lilyonthevalley.com

In Hellkaras’s final phase, all players carried a debuff, inflicting significant damage on the entire raid when a debuffed player died. One death would cascade, wiping out weakened players repeatedly.

Requiring high proficiency and coordination, integrating ten new faces into a raid for Hellkaras was a thunderbolt for Jehyun. But with Cast hinting so strongly, insisting on 20 was untenable. Jehyun sighed.

“Yeah, but I’m worried about getting someone like Kangrimdoryeong.”

Today, Kangrimdoryeong hadn’t whispered during the Mallorca raid. Whether he was worn out, decided to stop, or just didn’t log in was unclear, but his absence after yesterday’s antics felt unsettling.

No, it’s none of my concern. I don’t want to think about him while with Baekyung. Jehyun shifted topics and chatted. After a leisurely meal, they stood side by side in Baekyung’s bathroom, brushing their teeth, and then entered his study with the computer.

“Wait… did you change your chair?”

Baekyung’s chair had been swapped for the same model Jehyun used at home. Surprised, Jehyun asked, and Baekyung shyly nodded.

“You seemed uncomfortable…”

Unlike Habaek, who used to grumble, Baekyung now only responded with positive words like “That’s fine” and “Yes” to Jehyun.

Always saying it’s okay. That attitude was endearing, cute, and funny, so Jehyun reached out to pat Baekyung’s head before sitting down.

But when he looked at the computer Baekyung had turned on, he noticed that the keyboard and the desk pad underneath it were the same models Jehyun used. It seemed Baekyung had been paying close attention when he visited Jehyun’s house, and now it was clear why.

“You want to be with me, huh?”

Realizing this, Jehyun playfully asked Baekyung, who was sitting next to him. Baekyung shyly averted his gaze, then looked back at him and answered.

“I wanted you to come over often and stay longer.”

It was an honest and adorable confession. The heartfelt confession made Jehyun smile, biting his lips to avoid grinning like an idiot, but he couldn’t help it and ended up smiling broadly. Baekyung returned the rare beaming smile with a smile of his own.

Reaching out with his left hand, Jehyun grasped Baekyung’s hand tightly and said with a voice tinged with laughter,

“Then I guess I’ll have to stay over tonight.”

“…I’m fine with that.”

A month into their relationship, they hadn’t progressed beyond holding hands and kissing. Unlike casually touching cheeks and patting heads, Shin Jehyun was quite clueless about physical intimacy.

When Baekyung responded positively to his joke about staying over, Jehyun couldn’t take it back as a joke. Smiling at Baekyung, he turned to the Caplet login screen, swallowing nervously.

Today… will there be some progress…? Though it wasn’t planned, since Baekyung wasn’t pushing for it either, they had stayed at the same level. But if he stayed over, something might happen. Jehyun logged into Caplet, thinking about what was needed for spending the night with a guy.
