In fact, Jung Hayan wasn't the only treasure.
The same applied to Kim Hyunsung as well.
After all, he was someone who had probably once seen the end of this world.
He knew what was going to happen and was willing to use this information to change the future.
In a fantasy novel setting, he was kind of like the 'chosen warrior'.
There was no reason to not maintain a good relationship with him.
'I'm jealous of this bastard though.'
I wasn't jealous of all of the baggage he was carrying on his back.
I was jealous of what he was going to get or use.
It was already set in stone that he would climb high.
I thought I should benefit from him as much as I could.
"How much further is it? Are you sure this is the right way?"
"Yes, we are almost there."
Park Deokgu muttered bitterly, and Kim Hyunsung answered him with a nod.
It was strangely novel for me to witness how he observed our surroundings without even slowing down.
He was also watching out for monsters.
Clearly, his stats weren't that high for now.
Taking into account the fact that he had an attribute, class and magic power, he was already on a much higher ground than anyone else here. Yet, if a group of monsters surrounded us and attacked together, even he wouldn't be able to cope.
'That's why you failed to protect those people.'
If it had been possible then he would have made sure there were no casualties at the starting point.
"By the way, there are more survivors than I imagined. I was pretty sure most of them would have died..."
"In fact, more people could have been saved. At first, I didn't know the weak points of those monsters, so I couldn't face them properly. If only there were more people who could fight..."
"Yea, I feel the same way. At that time, running away was all I could do... If not for hyung-nim, I would be dead right now. Are all 30 people from there?"
"Ah! Actually, no. It seems like there were other starting points at different locations. But they were quite far away from ours..."
"Mhm... So we are not the only ones here."
"Yes. Perhaps, if we expand our search, we will hear more good news. Just now I was looking for traces of other people."
I didn't know how the hell you could call that good news.
"You are looking for more survivors?"
"Of course, I think that's what we should be doing."
From his eyes, I knew he was telling the truth.
The word "good" attached to his disposition wasn't there only for decoration.
I had no way of knowing the full picture, but my head hurt just thinking about how those 30 people were supposed to survive together.
'This son of a bitch...'
Just from this, I could imagine how the survivor camp was running.
"You don't look good. A-Am I too heavy...?"
