s.h.i.+n immediately stood up, despite his injured body. He quickly pounced to hug Sheena.

"S-Sheena.."

Kim s.h.i.+n mumbled. As, tears started to flow from the corner of his eyes.

"Eh?. Big Brother, what"s wrong?."

Sheena confusedly asked his brother. As, she held the bowl of porridge tightly.

"Nothing, I"m just glad that you"re fine."

Kim s.h.i.+n answered. As, he hugged and sincerely looked at Sheena"s eyes.

"Are you sure?"

Sheena still worriedly asked. She didn"t know what"s happening to his brother to act, like this.

Kim s.h.i.+n only nodded his head still clinging tightly at Sheena.

"Okay, Please, take it easy. You"re not fully healed yet. I made you a porridge. Please, eat this."

Sheena helped Kim s.h.i.+n to lay back on the wooden bed.

"I"m really happy that you are completely fine, Sheena"

Kim s.h.i.+n genuinely said.

"It"s all thanks to you big brother. Still, if you didn"t bother the tease of Gran to me. You won"t beaten badly"

Sheena thankfully replied.

"Huh? Didn"t all of that happened few weeks ago?"

Kim s.h.i.+n asked in bafflement.

"What do you mean? You were beaten just last day"

Sheena answered. As, she looked at Kim s.h.i.+n weirdly.

While on other hand, Kim s.h.i.+n was shocked to know that he was backed onto the first day he woke up in this wooden hut. Until, he realized what"s happening.

"So, it"s a restart"

"Do I need to save Sheena?"

"But I should have already failed the test. Because, I failed to protect Sheena"

Kim s.h.i.+n thought.

Looking at his brother whose in the deep thought.

"Big Brother, what are you thinking?"

Sheena curiously called Kim s.h.i.+n.

"Ah, nothing. Let"s eat"

Kim s.h.i.+n quickly response. As, he smiled at Sheena.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●

At the day before the day Sheena will die.

Kim s.h.i.+n tried to convince Sheena to leave the Village. It"s the only thing he thought of to save her. Because, he just can"t kill Gran, the only son of the Village Chief.

And he can"t just wait for Gran and his friends to come to violate Sheena. He can"t take to use Sheena as a bait, and he can"t let any wrong move happen.

So, without any choice but to move out from the village. Kim s.h.i.+n successfully convinced Sheena to run away from the village.

In the evening, at the outskirts of the village.

"Big brother, do we really need to do this?"

Sheena sadly questioned Kim s.h.i.+n.

"Yes, Sheena. Don"t worry, I"ll protect you. Trust me!"

Kim s.h.i.+n replied strongly. As, he confidently a.s.sured Sheena.

"Let"s go!"

Clad with a black cloak and armed with an axe. Kim s.h.i.+n and Sheena dashed through the dark wild forest.


After a few hours of running, Kim s.h.i.+n and Sheena sat on the ground exhausted.

"Huff..Huff.. Big Brother, do you think we will face monster on the way?"

Sheena asked in fear.

"I"m here, I"ll protect you with my life. Okay?"

Kim s.h.i.+n a.s.sured Sheena once more.

Sheena weakly nod.

In the midst of their resting. Kim s.h.i.+n heard a rustling sound. As, he picked up his axe and stood up.

"Quickly, Sheena get behind me!"

Kim s.h.i.+n hurriedly ordered Sheena to hide behind him.

"What"s wrong brother?"

Hiding behind his brother, Sheena curiously asked Kim s.h.i.+n.

"Shh. Quiet"

Kim s.h.i.+n hushed Sheena.

Silently observing his surroundings, Kim s.h.i.+n didn"t saw anything.

*Rustle* *Rustle*

Hearing again the rustling sound. Kim s.h.i.+n quickly turned his head at left side where the source of the sound came from.

But, he didn"t find anything.

Sweat falling from his forehead to his chin.

And with a "whoosh".

A thick and long th.o.r.n.y vine instantly appeared at Kim s.h.i.+n"s face. Fortunately, his decision to push down Sheena and ducked his head saved them.

While, down on the ground. The th.o.r.n.y vine, start to a.s.sault Kim s.h.i.+n once more.

*Whoosh*

Kim s.h.i.+n quickly pushed Sheena away. And, he also jumped sideward to dodge the th.o.r.n.y vine attack.

*BANG*

The ground trembled. As, the th.o.r.n.y vine pierced the ground.

With a quick movements, Kim s.h.i.+n sliced the th.o.r.n.y vine from bottom right to the left upwards.

*SLASH*

Kim s.h.i.+n successfully cut a piece of part of the th.o.r.n.y vine.

And the cut pieced fell on the ground twitching.

"KWAAAAAA"

A screeching sound reverberated after Kim s.h.i.+n sliced the th.o.r.n.y vine.

"So, you"re hiding there!"

Kim s.h.i.+n exclaimed. As, he looked at the left side direction of their place.

While, looking at the direction of screeching. The th.o.r.n.y vines that had been cut starting to move again and it was regenerating at a fast rate.

"Sheena, Quickly run far away! I"ll follow you later."

Kim s.h.i.+n yelled.

"B-But, how about you big brother?"

Sheena asked while crying.

"Don"t worry about me. Just run, Go!"

Kim s.h.i.+n said loudly. As, he evades the piercing a.s.sault of the th.o.r.n.y vine.

"Be careful big brother!"

Sheena shouted and immediately escape.

"You too, be careful"

Kim s.h.i.+n thought while watching Sheena escape.

Now that Sheena was far away, Kim s.h.i.+n immediately sprint to the direction of the main body of th.o.r.n.y vine. As, he also evades the attacks of the th.o.r.n.y vine.

Rus.h.i.+ng quickly, he arrived at the source of the screech.

And he found a 12 foot tall pink flower, with a big mouth full of sharp teeth, and five more vines that act like tentacles.

Kim s.h.i.+n s.h.i.+vered at the sight of the monster.

"d.a.m.n, what a sh*t luck"

Kim s.h.i.+n cursed mentally.

*SCREECH*

The enormous monster made a deafening screech once more. After, it saw the culprit that cut its th.o.r.n.y vine.

The furious flower monster, started to attack Kim s.h.i.+n using its tentacle like th.o.r.n.y vines.

*Boom* *Boom* *Boom*

Kim s.h.i.+n anxiously evaded all the th.o.r.n.y vines. As, he also countered attacked.

*SLASH*

Slas.h.i.+ng and evading is very taxing to his current physique.

*SCREECH*

The enormous flower continues screeching. While, Kim s.h.i.+n concentratedly evades all the incoming attacks.

After fifteen minutes of evading and slas.h.i.+ng. Kim s.h.i.+n felt that his stamina is already at limit.

"Huff..Huff.. I"m slowing down"

Kim s.h.i.+n murmured in heavy breathing.

"I"m sorry, Sheena. It seems like I can"t follow you. Still, you are probably far away and safe right now."

Kim s.h.i.+n sadly thought.

Another flurry of attacks are coming, Kim s.h.i.+n forcefully moved his foot to evade the attack. But, with his stamina at limit. He"s still moved too late.

*PUCHI* *PUCHI*

"UGH!"

Kim s.h.i.+n groaned and coughed a mouthful of blood. As, the th.o.r.n.y vines pierced his body.

"Thankfully, I let Sheena run away first. I hope this time I pa.s.s the test."

Kim s.h.i.+n thought. As, he smiled and tried to close his eyes.

But, before he got to close his eyes. He was shocked to see Sheena who"s crying while running to him.

"Big Brother.."

Sheena cried.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? I ALREADY SAID RUN AWAY FROM HERE!"

Kim s.h.i.+n loudly yelled at Sheena.

"B-but!"

Sheena tried to reason. But, Kim s.h.i.+n didn"t let her finish what she"s gonna say.

"JUST RUN! PLEASE, GO!"

Kim s.h.i.+n begged. As, he roared.

"UGH!"

Kim s.h.i.+n moaned in pain. As, he felt that the flower monster, starting to suck his blood.

"Please.. run.."

Kim s.h.i.+n weakly begged.

Looking at the dying Kim s.h.i.+n, Sheena didn"t have any strength to continue forward. As, she turned back and run.

But, before Sheena got to run far away. A sudden flash appeared and pierced Sheena.

"UGH"

The th.o.r.n.y vine impaled Sheena like a barbecue.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

Kim s.h.i.+n loudly cried. As, his consciousness fade away.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

"NOOOOO!!!*

Kim s.h.i.+n yelled. As, he opened his eyes and found that his backed again at the wooden hut.

"Huff.. huff.. I failed once again..*sigh*"

Kim s.h.i.+n sighed. As, he failed to protect Sheena from dying once more.

*Knock* *Knock*

"Good evening, Brother Hyunsik. I brought you porridge please eat this, so, you can recover faster"

Sheena said.

"Sheena.."

Kim s.h.i.+n softly mumbled. As, he saw Sheena.

"This time, I won"t let you die. I promise."

Kim s.h.i.+n inwardly vowed to himself.

"Quickly eat this, Big brother."

Sheena urged.

"Thank you, Sheena"

Kim s.h.i.+n thanked. As, he smiled at Sheena.

Kim s.h.i.+n lovingly spooned the home-made porridge and put in his mouth.

After he swallow the spoonful of porridge. Kim s.h.i.+n saw that Sheena was smiling weirdly.

After a few second, Kim s.h.i.+n taste a coppery taste. As, he coughed a mouthful of blood.

*Cough* *Cough*

"What"s the meaning of this, Sheena?"

Kim s.h.i.+n questionably asked.

"HAHA.. It"s all your fault. Big brother. Because, you didn"t stop mother and father from going to their mission. If, you stop our parents, we won"t be like this. We still have a normal and happy family."

Sheena blamed her brother. As, she laughed like possessed.

"Why?"

Kim s.h.i.+n last thought. As, he died once again.

●●●●●●●●●●●●

After uncountable restart.

Kim s.h.i.+n felt almost all the negative emotions a human can experience.

Regret, grief, guilt, betrayed, and etc.

He didn"t know how many times he experienced death.

"WHAT"S WRONG WITH THIS TRIAL, HOW TO END THIS?"

Kim s.h.i.+n questioned himself.

He kept thinking even after Sheena brought the porridge, Kim s.h.i.+n didn"t eat the porridge. He just kept thinking.

"What"s the reason, what should I do?"

"Sheena..Sheena..Sheena"

Kim s.h.i.+n kept mumbling Sheena"s name.

"AH!"

Kim s.h.i.+n inwardly exclaimed.

"Now, I realize. I"m always wrong. Why I didn"t think of that?"

Looking at Sheena who"s convincing Kim s.h.i.+n to eat. Kim s.h.i.+n suddenly called out Sheena.

"Sheena, can I borrow your mirror?"

Kim s.h.i.+n asked.

"Hmm. Okay, here!"

Sheena doubtly looked at Kim s.h.i.+n. But, she still held the mirror to Kim s.h.i.+n and she didn"t expect what Kim s.h.i.+n did after she gave the mirror.

Kim s.h.i.+n slammed the squared mirror at the wooden wall.

He picked up a piece of fragment of broken mirror. And he suddenly thrust the fragment mirror to Sheena"s left chest.

"UGH!..Why did you do this brother?"

Sheena weakly asked.

"Don"t call me brother, I"m not your brother. Show your real nature!"

Kim s.h.i.+n retort.

"Hehe. Finally, you realize who"s your opponent"

Sheena evilly smiled. As, her voice changed like a monster.
