Chapter 77: Safe Travels (2)

As for the last step, YuWon and Gina dragged an ogre's corpse from the entrance and threw it down the stairs. Soon enough, the snails were upon it. But since the ogre's corpse was quite big, they could kill more snails per molotov.

Using their ashes, everyone made their way safely to the train. However, YuWon didn't board the train. Gina and Yeji stared at him, wondering what was going on inside his head.

"Husband, what are you doing?" Gina asked, extending her hand, thinking YuWon needed help.

"Yes... brother," Yeji chimed in. "This isn't the time to fool around."

"You guys go ahead," YuWon replied. "I have something else to do."

Since he had found a loophole to milk the Mythical Store Ticket, he wasn't going to pass on that opportunity. Besides, he also wanted to save Lysandra.

Despite having no offensive abilities, her support abilities were quite good. With someone like her on their team, things would get easier for them.

But I can't tell Gina about her... not yet. Or else she would forcibly drag me into the train with her. Then there's also this girl...

YuWon turned around to see Yuna fidgeting behind him. He wondered why she had jumped off the train in the previous life. And the only answer he could come up with was a mission.

Yuna wasn't one to forsake her life for others. If she did something, there had to be a reason behind it, just like she was acting clingy to him for a reason.

Whatever that mission was, the punishment would be harsh enough for her to disregard her life.

That was the only situation YuWon could come up with for Yuna to jump off the train after him. But making her talk about it would not be that easy.

"You got a quest, don't you?" YuWon asked.

"Quest? What quest—" she replied, not wanting to reveal her cards, and have her plans backfire.

"It'll be easier for both of us if you didn't lie."

But she remained stubborn, so YuWon grabbed her arm and pushed her against the train. His eyes locked with her, like a scientist studying a strange phenomenon. A moment later, he stepped back, sighing.

When he opened his eyes, he was back in the penalty zone. But something was different. Instead of the gruesome movie set he expected to find, YuWon was in the middle of a lush forest.

"Well... this is unexpected."

YuWon scratched his head. Despite his respawning, the penalty zone remained as it was after he cleared it once. But he didn't get time to remain lost in his thoughts as someone appeared before him.

"I've been waiting for you, savior," Lysandra whispered.

"You remember me?" YuWon asked, confused.

Since he had basically gone back in time, YuWon had naturally assumed everyone would forget about him, including Lysandra. But that didn't seem to be the case.

"I won't be a good soulmate if I forget you, will I?" Lysandra smiled, caressing his cheek.

"But how—?"

Before he could finish, Lysandra leaned in and kissed him. Unlike the time he kissed Gina and Anna, kissing Lysandra felt... different. It was a weird sensation, like he was kissing the wind after a soft rain.

Lysandra continued after pulling away, "The rules don't bind me the same way as mortals. I am always aware of the past and present. No matter how many times you respawn, I will always remember you."

There goes my opportunity to become overpowered.

YuWon scratched the back of his head. He was hoping to kill the ghoul and milk the system for the mythical choice ticket. But this time, the system was a step ahead and dealt with his greed before things got out of hand.

While he was lost in thought, Lysandra linked her arms with him and opened a portal.

"Savior, it's time for us to go home," she said, leaning against his chest.

"Yeah... let's go," YuWon sighed, wondering what he would say to Gina now.

...having a mythical gear could've saved my life. But now... I'm cooked.
