'This... bastard...'

I couldn't help but swear at myself, but in reality, my situation wasn't all that bad. I felt a little guilty thinking like this, but assuming that everything I had judged so far was true, then having the shaman by my side would be similar to having a strong alliance, as I did with Cha Hee-ra and Kim Hyunsung.

Plus, she's unconditionally loyal...'

In other words, she was the perfect ally for me.

At this point, I was lucky not to have chosen the path of a Summoner when the job presented itself to me.

'This is a new class altogether.

This shaman was not only the owner of the large guild in the Free City of Celia, but was also a non-standard existence whose power had a different concept than her preexisting magic - and could also see the past and the future!

I couldn't accurately assess her strength, but based on her stats and potential, she could be of greater use than even Jung Hayan.

Naturally, I had to smile.

'I guess I'm the irresistible type of trash, then.'

Of course, I had to confirm my assumptions before I could even think about reeling her in. Besides, I still had other questions on my mind.

With this, I had no choice but to respond to the shaman who was currently looking at me with an impatient expression.

"I have a few more questions. How did I die in the black world?"

It was what I was most curious about.

"I don't know that."

"Do you mean you couldn't see it?"

"I couldn't. Perhaps it was because I died earlier than the master."

"Maybe. How did you die?"

"I died for you. I haven't looked in detail, but that was all I could tell in the black world, I had no regrets at the end."

"Well... Then I'm curious about how we got to know each other."

"I'm sorry, but what do you mean..."

"It is just as you heard. As you know, I can see others' information with my ability. Thanks to you opening your own info, I was able to check it with my own eyes..."

"Yeah."

"You're a wizard with a magical stat of 96, complete with a legendary class, and a legendary ability. No, would it be correct to call you a sorcerer?"

"Yes, that's correct."

"I can't see the black world, so I can't say for sure, but... I imagine I wasn't very strong there, was I?"

"No. The master is more dignified than anyone else..."

"It's not what I'm saying. I am asking on the grounds of a physical specification. Am I right?"

"Yeah... That's right."

"The question is, why didn't you resist me? You said you saw me choking you, but there's an explanation missing in there, especially assuming that we must've met each other at a later date back then compared to now."

"That's right. I haven't seen the exact date, but I know that in the black world, master and I will meet two to three years from now."

"It means that you were 22 when we met."

"That's right."

"Well, it doesn't really matter when we met, but the point is that you were in a stronger position than me."
