Yerin POV:
---
Beyond the headless corpses, the dark building entrance was gaping open like the mouth of a monster.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
From inside that building, the sound of heavy footsteps shook the ground.
The scent of blood grew thicker.
Swallowing hard at the sudden eerie atmosphere, I tightly grasped Reaper's hand.
From the darkness, an ominous red light flickered.
The light bobbed up and down in time with the rumbling of the ground, and it looked like the eyes of a demon.
'It'll be okay since Reaper is next to me.'
Even though I thought that, my whole body stiffened from the tension.
The silhouette that naturally emerged from the darkness was a giant robot in the shape of a teddy bear.
The teddy bear, drenched in blood, half submerged in the darkness, exuded a sinister atmosphere.
Grrr.
Along with the sound of scraping metal, clumps of blood were dripping from the teddy bear's outstretched front paws, perhaps from crushed internal organs sticking to them.
Even though it wasn't moving, my breath quickened as if I was running.
Scary!
Thud-!
And then, It held the door open with one bloody arm and slowly began to reveal its entire body.
An appearance straight out of a horror movie scene.
And the teddy bear, which had been slowly revealing itself, paused for a moment before slinking back into the darkness.
"Huh?"
Why is it doing that?
Could it be running away?
As the teddy bear disappeared into the darkness, Gray Reaper's eyes flashed as it dashed lightning-fast into the building.
It's like a cat chasing a fleeing toy in moments like these.
"Haha, hahaha."
Suddenly the tension was released, and the situation seemed funny, making me laugh for some reason.
As expected, I feel safe when I'm with Reaper!

The Bear POV:
---
A monster appeared.
The moment our eyes met, I realized it.
Those piercing yellow eyes that shone, seeing through to the essence.
A monster of a different caliber.
Gritting my teeth, I had to get as far away from the monster as quickly as possible.
It'll be okay.
It'll be fine.
A monster like that won't be interested in a weakling like me, so I'll be okay if I just run away and hide.
I hid in a dark room and locked the door behind me.
To conceal the light from my eyes, I covered both eyes and crouched down as small as possible.
Tong-!
A sound came from outside, like something knocking on the iron door.
No way, it couldn't be.ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels
Bang Bang Bang-!
A sound came from knocking on the iron door outside.
And as time passed, no sound could be heard.
"..."
Did it finally leave?
"..."
It must have left by now, right?
I removed my hands covering my eyes and looked around - nothing had changed from when I entered.
Ah, what a relief.
Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang-!
Just as relief filled my mind, suddenly a knocking sound came from the iron door.
No way.
Turning my gaze towards the sound again,
There was a round hole in the iron door, and the monster was poking its head through.
The monster, baring a cruel smile as if shouting 'I found you!'
T/N: HAHAHAHA
'No! I can't die like this!'
Screaming inwardly, I opened the door on the opposite side and started running.
Bwaaangg-!
"There are still other Objects left in the factory, but with Gray Reaper's appearance, we have no choice."
The man who set up the sniper rifle said while scanning the parking lot through the scope.
"After sniping James, I'll have to take care of the interpreter and the researcher too. Since we'll have to get out right after shooting, prepare the rest of the equipment."
But his colleague didn't respond at all.
"Hm?"
"Kuh...khhgk."
His colleague, who showed no reaction, had multiple finger-sized holes in his neck, clutching his throat as he died.
And behind him, Gray Reaper was glaring fiercely.
How did it find out about this place?
The man was quite flustered, but his actions were swift.
In an instant, he drew his pistol and opened fire at Gray Reaper.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three bullets were fired from the silenced pistol.
Two to the body, one to the head.
The man gave a satisfied smile.
Bullets made in America to deal with Objects.
It was a weapon that could burn and kill even unkillable monsters.
The white flames spewing from the bullets began burning Gray Reaper's body.
But Gray Reaper, with an angry expression, didn't care about the fire on its body and approached the man, blowing his head off.
The raging white flames soon calmed down, and Gray Reaper stood blankly as if composing itself, then began looking around.

Reaper (MC) POV:
---
Inside the small space, the thick smell of blood filled the air.
Suddenly, the thought of killing Yerin, I became overwhelmed with agitation and ended up killing them all.
Looking around, there seemed to be no clues to identify who these men were or their affiliation.
It was a pity, because these bad people should be rooted out.
The room the men occupied was crammed with all sorts of electronic equipment that looked suspiciously like tools for illegal activities.
Among them, one item felt different.
This must be the 'item' those evil men mentioned.
An antique leather briefcase.
Its elaborate design wasn't special, but the material itself felt peculiar.
Like an Object, but not quite.
It seemed important, so I took it.
Then I blasted a hole through the wall and dashed towards where Yerin was.
I've dealt with the surveillance team, now I need to save the pudding factory.

3rd Person POV:
---
James, lying comfortably on the bed with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and got up.
"It's too quiet."
The interpreter looked puzzled at James' words, but soon realized something was off.
"You're right? I don't hear the teddy bear demolishing the building."
James checked his watch and said,
"It hasn't even been an hour since I called, and they've already dealt with the steel teddy bear? Something's fishy. Physically impossible."
"Maybe they've set another trap? Waiting for us to come out?"
James jumped off the bed and approached the control room door.
“I don't see why they'd need to sell us a trap like that when they can take their time and give us a high probability of success, and then we can pretend that a passing monk took pity on us and came to our rescue.”
Suddenly, James put a finger to his lips, gesturing to be quiet.
"Don't you hear something?"
Straining their ears like James, they heard a faint sound.
[Pudding.]
[Pudding.]
The interpreter's face turned pale.
"Don't tell me it's those monster rabbits?"
As the interpreter spoke, pink robot rabbits poured out of the control room's air vent.
[Pudding!!!!!!!]
They were cute rabbit robots wearing chef's hats and holding whisks and measuring spoons.
"Run!"
But upon seeing them, James and the interpreter slammed the control room door and frantically began fleeing
They were avoiding the sharp-edged whisks and the measuring spoons that resembled spears.
