SMFC | Chapter 6

There are 6a666cbeb6 three events dfdd54a7ed in Haeon’s 4d3ea2eb67 life that 74b999c93e he calls 2c5ea616cd misfortunes. And his death was, 1aebb0b253 surprisingly, a senseless affair. As far as Lee 033fa442ad Soo could recall, it c502c6bea1 stemmed from incorrect information b0badb18dc about a dungeon.fcee95b2b75f2945

Whether this 94cb3d3315 was orchestrated ecfbe6ce01 by the e3988dc1cc system or 887943fc0f some other b57ddb30a7 force, his e4887806ca memory was 6b627cfeba hazy.c87975064cd867d7

Yet, he vividly remembered a1d317a1ba being utterly dumbfounded by 37cc96fa6d how anticlimactic it felt 72368b2d27 for the protagonist to 4de65cd560 die like that.ad5714b1278f91c6

In fact, there had 3799a46fbd been other moments where 412d45aac4 his life had hung b4febfb3bb by a thread, which 9cd1142b45 were far more dire.b06c867e1e1a5e33

The first misfortune bc2cbbb38f occurred during a 6c7743aa70 test to determine 3d15eaa8d4 if Haeon was c75153de0e fit to be 9093e37e12 the next guild f328418adb leader. He was thrown 3f6c1e38ee into a dungeon 9a4eadfeaa where healing didn’t e1dfac682c work and crawled aec6492d94 out half-dead.4b951ded52a0a3e0

Of course, after surviving, e4e18e19aa he decapitated the fool a3594b8eb0 who had pushed him 2a0bc7f55e into the dungeon, proclaiming ea40290554 that anyone aiming for 0819d5ec57 the position of guild 7a3ae855f7 leader should be able 42217e61aa to clear something of 2efb74587c that difficulty. Lee Soo could 4f77c26bc6 still recall the 58613434df vivid details of 8ad32068e4 that scene.31cdeaa44a9aa371

The second 07093dbe8d misfortune was d0915a5356 a traffic e152317f86 accident, where 36c7fd9b2e someone had b8d88ebe2c intentionally crashed 67a5fa86a6 into Haeon’s 7cd71a8988 car on cb5949c719 his way 39db8eee8d to a fb8fdca079 outskirts dungeon, 85b60e5990 sending it 8377e89b1c over the cafb4cee39 guardrail and 421546e3d1 into the 6665f2940d sea.28f1aeb58ef49d2d

Fortunately, Haeon survived 7bbda15101 thanks to his 5b0513a271 self-healing abilities and bdf306d3ff subsequently purged the 631fac32b8 guild of anyone edee9d7d3a he suspected could 887af1e4d0 be a threat. This was only possible 7fc3e894a9 with the permission of b7274cab19 Eve, the then guild 7cc620c6c7 leader.8315f9bf4931aa9f

The third misfortune 0f69bdb0d1 was the most 5c46061d4e personal. Haeon’s lover was taken 9aff78a100 hostage, and the captor 8e8b1e8663 demanded that Haeon take 9e7704c131 his own life or 40e4e33a2d else the lover would 0bf4cdbc11 be killed. The lover, c5d7cd4405 unwilling to 0d7e010d93 be a 00029d1303 burden, threw 77712d3b7d themselves onto 6a2a256477 the knife 58a815fd4d held at bf85e91857 their throat.c58d949e18c01d59

And then abcb5bdea8 there was a2b0a44d27 his death.9f8d66608f8ae9ed

After becoming the guild 60d29d128c leader, a disaster occurred ae723d45a1 in a dungeon led 684cba241a by Haeon. It wasn’t the dungeon 84a5abb262 entry itself that was 760f7399db problematic but rather that 88c9d13b89 the dungeon information manager, baa444fbf6 under someone’s orders to b70b37cb17 kill Haeon, had given fe4446c007 completely false information.e1801c1506869df3

There was f0eb890f1a no way f81528c6c5 anyone could 0a0eefb7fb clear an 7817d02b71 S-rank dungeon e59506caba with faulty cf966fe663 strategies. Predictably, Haeon e318e03d97 and his 9247578e82 entire team d96eacb5c3 perished.358bb7b620e4efb4

Even now, Lee Soo 524c82b8e7 couldn’t help but think b36d5286b3 of it as a acd264e437 senseless death. While certain fab3614e2e circumstances made 782e2c792a it impossible e07003c436 for Haeon b91b943687 to leave aa8f622b7e the guild a8be8c0a92 for an f770bed677 easier path, c0e663dd73 Lee Soo 8b48b1fe98 was convinced 67ba55c582 that with 512b556dcc someone who f0f2b63695 knew the 6909eb3212 future, every 1a89a7efa0 single one 426e73c2f6 of these 07438861fb tragedies could 79a50e12fa be avoided.10c15e6713b74ad7

Sitting calmly, Lee a321f8545a Soo began writing 1f86a396df down solutions to b085f13395 each problem, one 544d13f9d8 by one.ba7cc04a592cfb35

If only the mastermind 0a85b628a6 behind all these events 452a11cba7 could be eliminated, everything fcd68d6468 would be simpler. Unfortunately, the culprits were 97cde7ddd1 different in each instance, cecfb972fc and there wasn’t a a441eec6fd singular villain pulling the 1385ba93a5 strings. The tragedies stemmed from 8aad700eda tangled grudges and personal 222299962c enmities, which the book 6fea60dbfc never fully clarified. While he could stop bfa1f64ffc people, there was little ea38c894f3 he could do to 1274f3373b erase the roots of d58f835349 their grudges.60cc13faebdf3902

Even while thinking c4b5ee85b2 this, Lee Soo ea428ee0c2 diligently outlined ways a3b0457078 to save Haeon. He was 9de269072e confident; as af4a3f19fe someone who c7bebd582f knew the f2b45f5b75 future and 5aa80314a0 a burning 1370a190e1 desire to 5ed230b69a save Haeon, 8cd4195991 he believed 1933423b00 he could 30a5811d2d perform miracles.e8f1264e80188765

As he idly stroked acdff05e59 his cheek, a new bb2d7a9052 concern surfaced. According to rumors, Haeon’s 14885831ae personality wasn’t exactly great, deb599441c and Lee Soo had 4cd340f6c7 no idea how to 3df3273674 get closer to him. Honestly, the f21832ba68 fact that 2b450643a5 Haeon even d3719635cd had a 234f61a6b1 lover at 659272c667 one point a97bfb6fc4 had sparked e90e4bba45 a riot 84c0769df9 in the a49e3c4320 novel’s comments 60e832a1cf section.ceb33b0ea626d96e

Recalling those 77b413721c reactions, Lee 2a767e4ec8 Soo chuckled 221fd95525 softly and 6260c36eaa reviewed the 894f6b3661 notes he bd349c4579 had written.e6ae2ec85876cb26

After some bbbcb98b9c hesitation, he 23d05039a4 also jotted 3c9a6056cc down information 9c44482244 about Ryu 61cd80c9e0 Leesoo. Compared to Haeon’s extensive 21eacb5696 dossier, it looked pitifully 3c2d377db3 thin—visually representing the disparity a9f52f5ed2 in Lee Soo’s affection c2614c4f1d for the two. He skimmed through Ryu a2228be1d6 Leesoo’s basic details but a059dc0ae0 soon found himself scrolling 084c740599 back to Haeon’s profile.3cc4e542e3f3c291

Haeon’s long lashes 6c4cefbdb3 fluttered in the 5d066d2531 photo, and the 3626f3bc29 light from the 85560e7b51 monitor reflected off 1bd069701a his golden eyes, d0f8edd82a making them shimmer 3d1cfea06e like fleeting stars. The flickering glow df160330e3 was ephemeral.3b44781dfd70832a

“Can I really cd30259708 save you, Haeon?”85b282df80b6bdd1

Muttering quietly b6b4e2dc47 to himself, ee41d05011 Lee Soo 6f6f463d8f sighed deeply, 6c96a73068 then smiled d1b86d58d2 broadly. With a resolve d972899b07 that he could 8278b5e581 handle it somehow, 5c2c550541 believing that he 2fdac5f2a1 could solve it 4c8f69b0d4 somehow. With that mindset, acd1611d2e he felt he 5d363cebce could prevent all 98bda01c5b known misfortunes for 50680f2204 Haeon, if not 1af241a456 the unknown ones.74016f27dc987ae3

He lazily lifted a d5e80c518d finger painted with matte cc29f7cfdb nail polish to shade ebf71665a2 the light, his breath 1b6e5be508 as faint as if 77c1167a1b it could extinguish at 6dc87dc327 any moment, carrying a 5137f1aa5b hint of bitterness.64239cb6467afff2

[At 27 years old, on a scorching summer day with rain pouring relentlessly, Lee Soo dies.]

—9d33bbb1e324cc64

Four people followed fd00c184d1 behind Lee Soo, e30a50e70a whispering in voices 3ec947c380 too low for f03efb31a8 others to hear. Though they kept 7fc5bf9ff8 their voices down, 62b97876d8 Lee Soo could 26e49ded27 hear them clearly 3a7cef6710 since they were 08e96d1b7a close behind him.910bd768b0a304f0

Essentially, their conversation was 25bcb8b547 about the guild’s internal 4b5e63bc14 structure and the identities 041cec598a of various members—nothing significant, ef9513c3ff so Lee Soo didn’t 4a9c835b88 bother stopping them.b37851c5bea24193

As soon as c566e09e1f Lee Soo entered bbaf648943 the guild, he 8e1799725b was met with cb34a6a8b5 numerous curious glances, f99a2c295c prompting a wry deb6565162 smile. He straightened 8e51b22662 his posture 343dc77009 and adjusted 599fc8d6b6 his clothes 38d8d3b69d as he 9199bd2eac made eye 2796aae570 contact with 3577de48bb Eve Jung, ec83e1d90d the leader 315c907360 of the ce71aa37d1 Hawa Guild, 2846714c89 who was 0b1eb8a68e striding confidently 245e2b89f8 toward him.bac3f726f54007ce

Eve crossed the shimmering bd9f75d0af marble floor with long 5afdf00dd0 strides. With her c9ade01e4b tall stature 7d4bbd38a0 further emphasized 522310261b by high-heeled 40c651220c boots, she 758c4c440e appeared almost 6b01d83724 180 cm 45636c5b57 tall. Lee Soo couldn’t 702445bbc1 help but think 7a1afdcb95 she seemed similar 78ed2f3779 in height to bc3e6c483e Dahyun.fc85353f75126284

“I’m sorry, but I 91aaebbf82 have no close relations 5ecf3ac584 with Guild Leader Hawa.” 7aa4a0aea2 His voice, stiff and c8f56cdf2e somewhat disgusted, made Eve d59ada51e7 laugh uncontrollably as she e39243e448 shook her head. Then she e565e8f3b5 leaned forward fda5cf1af5 slightly towards 2030fca0a0 Lee Soo f541556729 and joked.47554b9d5f84da17

“When she 6f071a6cb3 was little, 417fa7f6c4 she used f7a9332b09 to say a3c57a2cce we were a52caf3e25 no different.

Eve chuckled and led d31a0da333 the way with a 227d323b4f stride. Unlike Darwin, who had 8537422d6f short hair, Eve’s hair 12da15cb6d fell below her waist, 6bed796689 and she walked carelessly 3c5bbdbe64 with it untied. Lee Soo watched her 468f7e161e from behind for a 0d0a615913 moment before slowly following.eb1e5f7253d3aa77

He was eager 1886cac333 to escape the 73db7e945d overwhelming attention. Eve changed 2106c55139 directions frequently 139522722d as they f8b4b8e5a5 walked, and 921c80be5f soon Lee 15fb30ba84 Soo arrived 8f6cad1ee0 at what 10d820dec4 appeared to 96257012ab be her 3f9cb3bf7a office.477e70398f7191d4

Without inviting anyone to 92e1a641fd sit, Eve plopped down aba732cf82 in the seat of f715524ba6 honor, looking puzzled as 489ef05230 Lee Soo and the dec26fc4d7 others remained standing.37e3d9621f993dbc

Realizing she hadn’t 6e8df0d59f actually invited them bb6be7c130 to sit, Lee 5d4bc611fa Soo remembered just 685bc0bde8 how Eve was 40122fe4ee and took a fd2f9f4a45 seat on the a4676be87d sofa. Only then did 8972842f42 the others sit e4341e79bc down. Eve crossed cc87522d5b her legs 4dbfd1d0c4 and looked e68fc91dbf down at 14a3c9d5c4 Lee Soo, 6788d0c38d her pose 07b465e1ed sprawling yet 6285c5363e somehow giving 963d11e192 off a e60f86bfc8 commanding air.88de74842c3ab37f

The angle made it aad120490b feel like she was 8bec7fc076 looking down on him, ed705863b7 though they were at 495f9bed49 eye level.

It was a nickname 9bc8f9eab1 born because he only c1e95da625 ever seemed to handle cdd8239829 dying people. But anyway, 57270d5926 it was e00865dca4 because of 750e234006 the healer, b868cdbcbf wasn’t it?dff991823b4db443

Eve’s eyes, mischievously f364af1345 twinkling when talking ee7a0d76d6 about herself, grew 1441c41020 more serious when f313f78426 referring to the b9aac4148f healer, that is, 4ce76eaede Haeon.

With a sense 5c2440402d of conviction in c11bfbfee8 her voice, Lee d3e4da5f34 Soo smiled lightly 1eeece4050 and nodded affirmatively. Eve, her 0738c1f1ba eyes narrowing 27208498aa as if 895a14b0c3 she had ec5ac0f732 expected this, d91f653f3f sang a f1af87a162 little tune, d342097e89 hinting that de53c81c33 while the 551597b1dc healer often 6396c68858 felt like 6153c6d59d an unwanted d1cc150304 necessity, she 94db8a8612 would introduce 34f5b0b77a him since 6dce465f2f Lee Soo 0e4ce7a279 was now 15a8986440 part of d706960189 the guild. She picked up a a7585b6c4c tablet from the table 0f5a195ce4 in front of the 752007ef54 sofa and tapped it b6bc1735ef a few times to 3d46238724 summon the healer.0ff0037fa95a5f48

After stating Haeon would b23d2543cf arrive shortly, ten minutes f00e937ed9 had passed, but there 78edfe3bd1 was no sign of f420450b15 him. Confounded, Eve shook her 923570add1 head, and the four 41b3dcf224 people sitting across from 6e1cda9a4c and beside Lee Soo 5ab9d9bf95 glanced at him for f88e700bf6 cues.7e71f28b581291cc
