Simply put, my body is like a container and my heart is like the hose that fills it up.

That"s why it"s impossible for me to get tired.

"that"s…bulls.h.i.t…"

"You didn"t have to bulls.h.i.t."

Of course, this power was quite effective against the undead. The mastery of Lyfedearc, and Lyfedearc"s Divine Law, I wouldn"t have any issues combating the undead with these two.

Plus, I"ve already knocked away more than enough.

"Then, next question. What was the first skill you acquired?"

"Fire conjurer"

"And, what did you purchase with the points you earned from killing those dogs?"

"Are you talking about the reward search?"

I nodded.

When I nodded, she gotten herself up.

"Nothing."

"What?"

"I said, I bought nothing, because… I didn"t know how to use it…"

"sigh…"

This girl, does she not know how to play games? Wait, could I be the strange one here?"

I glanced at the girl with a discontent look my face while holding the back of my neck. She had her back against the wall with her head down.

She could die… if I leave her alone.

"For today, come along with me. When this combat thing is over, be sure to buy something back in the white room."

She picked her head up after hearing me. There were tear streaks on her cheeks.

"Are, are you crying?"

She quickly wiped her face with her arm.

"No, I"m not."

You are crying. I thought to myself without letting the words slip through my lips. Yeah, what am I going to do about you crying anyway.

"anyways…remember this. Anything can help you, so be sure to get something that"ll be really useful to you on the battlefield. But, it"ll be best to purchase a skill that has defensive properties. Or, something that supports fire conjurers."

"How? I can I buy something when I don"t know anything?"

"let me… tell you how you can buy stuff. First."

I told her what she could do with points she earns from battles.

The kept nodding.

"Understand?"

"Yes, I think I know now."

"Since you"re a fire conjurer… I don"t know what you"ll need. You could just keep upgrading the first skill you acquired. Or, you can change skills. That"s all up to you. But, be sure to think it through. If you make a mistake, you could die. I don"t know…what will happen if you die in here, but I don"t think it"ll be pleasant."

Before I could finish the sentence, she nodded.

"By the way… you really… don"t have what it takes to be cute."

"hmph."

Yeah, she really doesn"t.

"But…"

eh?

She turned her head a bit.

"Thank you for saving me."

Hey, can"t you say that to me while you look at me? Why did you have to turn your head like that?

She"s really… having a hard time being honest with herself…

"Okay, thanks for telling me. I"m going to head out, what are you going to do?"

She quickly turned her head towards me after hearing what I had said.

"Why?"

"This fight… It"s not going to be finished with just one round. They"re going to 다데 coming at us. It"ll be best to gain as many points as possible while they"re so little of them."

"ah…"

"If we"re to survive, we need to get as many of them as possible. It"s a game. understand?"

keke.

I laughed at how stupid I sounded. What kind of game puts its players" lives on the line like this?

"Why are you laughing like that?"

"because this entire situation is funny. It"s unrealistic, don"t you think?"

"It"s not funny at all to me."

"I"m not laughing because it"s actually funny. Long ago, Charley Chapelin said something like this. Life is a tragedy when seen up close, but a comedy when seen from afar. Isn"t that what we"re going through?

"A tragedy up close…"

"Somewhat like it. So, what do you want to do? I"m going to head out. This place seems safe for now… but, I don"t know how long it"ll be like this for."

"Then, I"ll go as well."

She clenched her jaws while giving a strong look. It looked as if he promised herself something.

"Alright, shall we go together? Just to let you know, I have three skills: The Divine Power, Mastery, and Life Absorption."

"That"s a lot."

"I picked them after a careful consideration. And… I even have a plan."

"And that is?"

"I"m going to set a fire."

I thought of it before. This is a big forest, isn"t it? And, there should be zombies spread out everywhere, While I have a safe place to hide in. The Stone Chamber, that is.

I can set the forest on fire, and wait it out in there so the smoke doesn"t get in. I will need to make necessary preparations… but that"s not going to be of much work.

To be precise, in a fire situation, the biggest threat is suffocation under smoke, but that Stone Chamber has enough room to provide us with protection.

"That should be enough to kill off all the zombies in the forest."

"I like that idea."

"it"s good, isn"t it? And, it"ll be just a test."

"What do you mean?"

"If we can gather points by killing them with a fire like that… it"ll be really helpful for the upcoming fights in the future.

Yes, if they"d only award us with points after all the zombies die from the fire…

That would be a great help to us, because it"ll mean that we can use the terrain to gain points. How could this not be of any help?

"So… I"m going to have to ask you for a favor."

"What is that."

"Please take your clothes off."

She looked at me dumbfounded, probably because of the question that she didn"t antic.i.p.ate.

"All done."

With her approval, I got her to remove her upper clothing and with it, I covered the entrance to the Stone Chamber. It was to prevent, or at least reduce the amount of smoke from coming into the Chamber, as smoke tends to rise and linger at a certain level.

It was meant to keep us alive. But, if things got bad, I could use my Divine Power.

Thanks to my plan, Hye-Won was only wearing a tank-top. There was no other way.

My upper clothing had been torn. And, it"s not like I was going to run around in my underwear.
