The Japanese laughed mockingly at my words.
"What a ridiculous name."
"Kimbap? That originated from norimaki, you know."
Think whatever you want.
But something felt off.
No matter how many enemies there were or how inexperienced we were, could they really escape so cleanly?
Hyung-jun hyung had even bragged about getting pretty strong.
I looked around and spotted the raft the Japanese had ridden in on.
They'd made shields out of wooden pallets.
No wonder arrows were useless.
Adamant arrows would pierce right through, but the Dodam Island members only had basic gear.
Using paper airplanes as bombs risked accidental murder.
If they were standing still, maybe, but aiming at a moving raft was incredibly difficult.
I got it, but... no, forget it.
"Better this way anyway."
Thanks to the Dodam Island members fleeing, I could go all out now.
A Japanese man built like a gorilla bared his yellow teeth at me.
"What’s so good about it, Kimbap Lover? Ah, you mean it’s good for you to die by our hands!"
Couldn't stand listening to that...
As I drew my long knife, he smirked and barked at his underlings.
"What are you waiting for? Don't treat this big lug politely!"
"Hehe."
His underlings approached me, chuckling like villains from a cheap anime.
Normal Japanese people wouldn't act like this—they must've gone a bit mad.
The Japanese gorilla crossed his arms and sneered.
"How about it? If you do the naked dogeza, I might forgive you. Over a bonfire, of course."
"Boss, a normal human would die doing that."
Why were they so chatty?
I activated all my skills.
My vision blazed red, startling the gorilla and his men.
"Boss! That's..."
"Hoh. Game over, huh?"
I ignored him and leaped straight at him.
I saw the gorilla panic and thrust out his long knife.
His trait was 100% body enhancement.
Just some auction house crawler at best, so maybe three additional effects.
I'd simulated counters to that a thousand times in my head.
I created a dimension wall in midair.
Twisting my body, I kicked the wall forward. The gorilla's shocked face zoomed in instantly.
"You idiot—!"
He desperately shielded his head with the hand holding the long knife.
Tschk!
The long knife sliced through the gorilla's wrist.
The knife he dropped spun into the air, and I snatched it mid-swing.
"Gaaaargh!"
The gorilla lost both wrists in an instant and tumbled to the ground.
I drove both long knives into his heart with my forward momentum.
The convulsing gorilla, now armless, slowly foamed at the mouth and went still.
"..."
"N-No way..."
"Boss got taken out in seconds..."
The Japanese recoiled in terror.
I hadn't become a murderer since reviving after killing Joo Seung-cheol—no kills since.
I'd wanted to use the ballista, but the sudden combat left no choice.
I stowed one long knife in my backpack and walked toward them.
Eighteen in total.
Wondering how to kill them, I saw raw fear in their eyes.
Kururuk—
Kyieeeek—
Dajeong emerged from behind with her ghouls.
She quickly assessed the situation and snapped her fingers.
"Always corpses. Getting boring."
The ghouls, including the locust one, let out chilling howls and charged the Japanese.
"Gh-Ghouls!"
"Run!"
The Japanese lost all will to fight and bolted.
The ghouls pursued but held back on lethal strikes.
Couldn't have their master turn murderer.
Kwachik!
The ghouls smashed every raft, sending the Japanese into full panic.
Only way out now was jumping into the sea.
"I-I can't swim!"
One turned back and froze at the sight of a ghoul with its maw split wide.
Kyieeeek!
"Ugh... ah..."
"You idiot!"
They kicked and shoved each other in chaos.
Some who jumped into the sea couldn't handle the icy winter waters and glub-glub sank.
No need to chase and finish them off.
Dajeong stood beside me.
"Want me to kill them all?"
"Nah. This is enough. Won't be using this place anyway."
"Because of the Japanese?"
"They're not all of them. Dozens more heading this way—can't hold Dodam Island forever."
"Where to, then?"
"Government shelter. Farming dungeon's open."
Dajeong glanced at the blue dimension gate behind her and shook her head wistfully.
"You didn't plan this far ahead, right? Sometimes you scare me."
"No way this was planned. If it hadn't opened by luck, we wouldn't even be here."
"True enough."
She ordered zombies to dump the bodies into the sea.
Mi-kyung blinked into appearance.
Her eyes were wide as saucers.
"Oppa, when did you get here?"
"Just now, through the dimension gate."
I pointed to the farming dungeon entrance. She looked baffled.
"The Japanese fled. Some died."
"Ah... good... Oppa, you worked so hard."
She started toward me but froze upon seeing Dajeong.
Dajeong wagged her finger.
"What's with that face at me? Come here."
"N-Noona, it's not that..."
She was like a mouse before a cat.
I told Mi-kyung to bring the members.
Coming out time.
.
.
.
The Dodam Island folks sighed in relief upon hearing the story.
Then grew puzzled.
How could Sung-ho and Dajeong show up together at this exact timing?
Su-yeon was shocked seeing Dajeong casually grab Sung-ho's butt.
Wasn't that something lovers who’d done everything did?
'No way they...'
She wanted to deny it, but the evidence was overwhelming.
Affection oozed from their gazes.
Whatever happened, they were clearly that kind of couple.
Su-yeon sighed unwittingly.
Time to let go...
As people gathered in the memorial hall lodging, Sung-ho cleared his throat.
"Ahem. Nice to see you all. Gyeol-sik and the other two are in Changwon, so everyone's here."
Yeoul-i hesitated before speaking.
"Uncle... your vibe's changed a lot."
"That obvious? Thrashing to survive in harsh places turned me like this."
The others were a bit thrown by Sung-ho's altered presence too.
The old Sung-ho had some soft roundness left, but now he was sharp as a blade.
What the hell happened in two months?
He said abruptly.
"My ID is Kimbap Lover. The Kimbap Lover from Survival Life."
"...What?"
"Huh?"
It took them a moment to process.
They thought maybe someone hated kimbap.
Reactions hit later.
Mi-kyung, squirming forcibly hugged in Dajeong's arms, flushed beet red.
"Oppa was Kimbap Lover?"
"Pretty shocked, huh? Betrayed too."
"Not that... I-I talked smack about Kimbap Lover in front of you..."
"You did."
Pre-apocalypse.
Mi-kyung had joked that an ogre bit Kimbap Lover, but the ogre died three days later.
She writhed in embarrassment.
The others were shocked too.
"Figured you had ties to that vet..."
"Never thought you were him..."
"That's why you fought so well..."
Truthfully, others' reactions meant little to Sung-ho.
He only eyed Hyung-jun.
"Hyung-nim, sorry. Should've told you sooner."
Hyung-jun looked confused, then shook his head.
"No. You had reasons. But Sung-ho, why hide it from us too? If it's uncomfortable—"
"No, it's fine. I'll explain why now."
Sung-ho scanned the room.
"If anyone's uncomfortable I'm Kimbap Lover, raise your hand. No violence, promise."
They exchanged glances.
"Uncomfortable how?"
"Pre-apocalypse info online was wild about it."
"But we've survived thanks to you. Monster guides early on, farming, Dodam Island... Honestly, without you, we'd be dead. Still would be."
Yu-hyun spoke breathlessly; all nodded.
Their lives were Sung-ho's gift.
Yeoul-i crouched by Sung-ho.
"No one's uncomfortable, uncle."
"Looks that way. First, my trait... not attack prediction. Opens doors to another world."
Sung-ho opened a dimension gate, but no one saw it.
Su-yeon, sensing something, touched thin air and jolted.
"Th-There's something here."
"Where?"
"Oh, really..."
"That's the dimension gate. Invisible to others. To me, a blue door one meter wide, two tall."
"Whoa, cool..."
They reached out, touching it.
"Remember that farming dungeon? Same dimension. I use it anytime—for storage, home, farming."
Hyung-jun clapped, realizing.
"Sung-ho, that time evacuating Busan, supplies in the two-room?"
"Yeah. I set that up. Looted from Busan survivors."
"Stuff we left behind too...?"
"All safe inside."
"Ahh... everything clicks now. How you moved around."
"Thanks to this. Hide inside if danger—opposite seasons, perfect."
Su-yeon said.
"Can you show entering?"
"Easy."
Sung-ho stepped in, arm out.
His arm popped from thin air; all flinched.
"Dimension gate's real magic..."
"Can you see us from inside, Sung-ho-ssi?"
Su-yeon asked; he made an OK sign.
"Perfect for peeking undetected."
"See what enemies do. Insane."
"...Roughly that."
Sung-ho saved additional effects, wind-up beetle, stag beetle for later.
"Showing you means I trust you somewhat. Won't spill to others."
"Never."
"Take it to the grave."
"But back then, I couldn't trust. Weak—backstab meant instant death. Couldn't trust anyone."
"Yeah... makes sense."
Couldn't grasp all, but got the gist.
Solo dimension access? Prime jealousy bait—good hide reason.
Hyung-jun understood.
"One issue now. Hyung-nim, why bail so fast from Japanese attack?"
"Sigh... they had shields on rafts."
"Arrows useless, but Yu-hyun's paper planes could've harassed."
Hyung-jun shook head no.
"Kid's too soft. Raft moving—accidentally kill, chaos."
He had a plan, sorta.
With blink user here, regroup, retake later.
"Got it. But you all seem weak. Monsters fine, PvP lacking."
Said by Kimbap Lover—no rebuttals.
Dajeong propped chin on knee.
"I vouch—he's nuts. Fight me? Surrender begging in a minute."
"Not that bad."
Sung-ho denied; she upped it.
"Full power? Long knife at my throat in 30 seconds. Or arrow here."
"Th-That can't..."
Dodam Island knew Dajeong's strength well after time together.
Monsters, survivors—leaves before her gale.
And she said no match.
"So trust his combat."
"...Noona, what's with uncle?"
"Hm?"
Her gaze hit Yeoul-i.
As Sung-ho moved to explain, Dajeong circled finger, poked another in.
Yeoul-i blushed furiously.
"Wh-What's that...?"
"This kind. Clear?"
"..."
Mouths agape.
The fearsome ghoul queen and Sung-ho... like that.
Sung-ho coughed, refocusing.
"...Your PvP weakness partly my fault. Cleared all threats before leaving."
Dodam safe, but they became greenhouse flowers.
PvP weakness natural.
"So, for experience, wanna move your shelter."
"Where?"
"Government shelter in Seoul."
All baffled.
Why there...
Sung-ho pointed to farming dungeon entrance.
"That griffon dungeon we farmed. Enter, exit Seoul side—Yeouido's next door."
Su-yeon tilted head.
"Government good, but must we? Training PvP alone..."
"Japanese too. Chased 20, but more headaches coming. Hundred-plus inbound."
"A hundred..."
Dozens or hundreds—same threat.
"Not safe here anymore."
Real goal separate.
Sung-ho planned infiltrate government via them, secure shares.
Seok-hyun, Geom-in plus six: his allies major stake.
Jang Won-taek'd know, couldn't refuse.
Sung-ho emphasized.
"Not forcing. Stay if you want."
"...Stay?"
Hyung-jun asked—no hands.
Bonds pulled them together.
Thus, Dodam Island moved to Seoul.
.
.
.
"From Masan?"
"Yes. Group from griffon dungeon. Want join—six total."
"Six, huh."
Jang Won-taek stroked chin.
Why join now?
Suspicious link to Sung-ho, Dajeong's Japanese intel.
"Coincidental. Too coincidental."
"Thinking of Sung-ho-ssi?"
"If this his plan."
"Not that far... farming dungeons pure random."
"Believed that. But Yeouido's same as before."
"Y-Yes."
"Suspect he rigged same dungeon."
"If so, terrifying."
"Already is. Making offers I can't refuse."
Jang smiled bitterly.
He'd killed seven shelter folk.
Reasons valid, but combat power plummeted.
Filling with his people.
Without entering once.
"Eyes open, taken... heh, can't refuse."
"Too few left."
Lee Beom-seok sighed deep.
25% gone—plans wrecked.
Seok-hyun, Geom-in loss huge.
Where'd they go?
Jang wry smile.
"Pinned us, then perfect pitch. Gotta learn that. Accept."
Dodam Island joined government shelter.
Shocked once by cold, twice by scale.
"C-Cold..."
"Shelter this cold? Outside must be brutal..."
"Freeze outside, for real."
Lee Beom-seok guided.
Soon, Seok-hyun and Geom-in returned with two survivors.
Jang felt ghostly.
When'd they meet?
"Picked 'em up."
Seok-hyun's pair: ones Geom-in copied trait from, ditched.
Heading shelter, gave up; met Geom-in late, joined.
Despaired at abandonment, but sincere apology swayed—
Actually, scarier panty-only freak beside.
Anyway, Jang accepted them too.
"Seven out, eight in. Good or bad?"
Meanwhile, conference room: Dodam first met Seok-hyun, dumbfounded.
Guy in just panties.
"R-Rabbit headband..."
"Doesn't match at all..."
Not kid—hairy 30s uncle with bunny band: eyesore.
Seok-hyun, hearing Sung-ho sent, greeted.
Geom-in spotted ponytail Su-yeon.
Doctor, now healer.
'Total Mercy...'
Uncannily like FPS female char.
His type appeared.
Su-yeon noticed Geom-in's stare, awkward smile.
"Geom-in-ssi, right? Heard lots from Sung-ho-ssi. You're the vet."
"Ah, yes."
"Please to meet."
Prettier, more charming than Dajeong.
Wanna praise past self for joining Sung-ho.
Geom-in, 23. Love at first sight.
