She had a dream. Torches lit up the darkness in a straight line. Her current location was a pitch-black cave with no known end. Mido walked there without hesitation. She wasn’t scared because she knew it was a dream.
[You are currently having a ‘nightmare’.]
[You are in a state of ‘fear’.]
[You will keep dreaming until you die or it is resolved.]
Even though she knew it was a dream, she couldn’t help the instinctive fear. Like a normal person, she pretended to be strong, but it was just her deliberate effort. Only then would men stop treating her carelessly.
In fact, Mido said she had never been in a relationship, but she had met someone once. It was during her third year of high school. Mido loved him and he had accepted her heart. Until then, Mido thought the clouds in the sky were cotton candy. It felt like she got the entire world.
However, he betrayed her and met another woman. On the day that was his high school graduation, white snow fell as he told her, ‘Let’s break up. I have another woman. I’m tired of you now.’
These short words left a wound in her heart and the man suddenly left. He went to study abroad in the United States. Mido hated him, but she had another suspicion. She wondered if he deliberately said such a thing so she wouldn’t wait for him while he was studying abroad.
Why was she thinking about him now? He was a man to be forgotten, but Mido still couldn’t forget him.
Just then, a creepy sound came from the ground. Mido looked into the distance at the source of the sound. Something was coming from the other side of the darkness where the end was unknown. Looking closely, it was a small group of spiders. Mido started to flee from these terrible nightmare spiders.
She tried to threaten them with a torch in the cave, but it was useless. She continued to flee and finally entered a dead end. She resented that there was no more place to run away and no one to save her.
Mido closed her eyes to give up on everything. Just then, the cry of a wolf echoed through the cave. Mido turned her head that way and in the distance, a black wolf was walking through the spiders toward her. The spiders couldn’t get close to the wolf emitting a strong killing intent and the wolf finally reached her.
Mido felt calmer as she looked into the wolf’s eyes. The familiar and comfortable feeling settled her heart. The wolf sat next to her and Mido fell asleep against his fur. Now she was convinced that no one would hurt her...
Then she opened her eyes.
“Umm...”
“Have you regained consciousness?” Kim Hyeonu, who had been guarding Mido’s side after finishing his treatment, called out to Mido.
Mido blinked several times as she looked at the ceiling and realized it was the first time she was seeing this place. “This place...?”
“It is a room next to the waiting room.”
“Ah...”
“You were in real danger. The NPC priests said they were giving up because there was no antidote, but you miraculously survived. You would’ve died if it wasn’t for that person.”
“That person...?”
“Ah, you don’t know.”
Kim Hyeonu shifted his gaze to the screen of a crystal ball floating in the room. There were many shouts and cheers. It was only one person. Mido knew the identity of ‘that man’ even though Kim Hyeonu didn’t say anything.
“He drew his own blood with a dagger and made an antidote. He must’ve really suffered. I’m glad he did it. Your level would’ve fallen if you died.”
“Ah, I see...” Mido couldn’t listen to Hyeonu’s words. She was only watching the person on the screen. Perhaps the black wolf she met earlier was this man.
‘...Thank you. Be sure to win.’

On stage, I heard the cheers of many spectators. They were shouting the same words. The words were ‘Dark Wolf.’ I knew it had become my symbol, but it was still very embarrassing to see so many people calling it. Well, this wasn’t important. I didn’t know them and they didn’t know me. I didn’t like that those broadcasting guys were filming me, but all I had to do now was beat up that damn clown in front of me. I was currently furious.
-Then let’s start the semi-finals!Both players, take your positions.
Mad Dog and I stood in the middle of the stage. We stared at each other across the distance. The calculation of where and how to attack was done at a rapid pace. I had no intention of beating him easily and simply. I was going to make him suffer as much as possible before ending it.
-Start!
It was Mad Dog who made the first move after the host gave the signal. He threw sharp daggers that had been made with magic power at a high speed. Sometimes two flew at the same time. However, I danced the sun dance while lightly dodging his daggers. Then the energy of Rising Sun appeared on both my legs.
Mad Dog stopped attacking and asked me, “Hey, why are you doing this to me? What damn conflict do I have with you? Eh? Why are you trying to get revenge on me? Hah?!”
“......”
I ignored this person’s words. I circled around the stage and Mad Dog followed me. We stared at each other.
“Why aren’t you speaking? Are you mute? You crazy...” Mad Dog’s curse words couldn’t be aired.
I just frowned behind the mask. It seemed he was trying to shake my mind by doing this. I couldn’t help pulling out the fork spoon. Then I opened my mouth, “Stop the sophistry. You seem to have a bit of confidence in your dagger skills?”
“What are you going to do? Why do we have to fight?”
“There’s nothing wrong with it.”
I held the fork spoon and ran toward Mad Dog. Mad Dog snorted and came at me. Our weapons collided, making small sparks. At the same time, I kicked down and stepped on his leg. Mad Dog lifted his leg to avoid it and lost his balance. I struck his left arm with my right hand, struck him in the neck with my right elbow, and stabbed the fork spoon deep into his belly.
“Ugh...”
It was an amazing linkage speed. The startled Mad Dog tried to open up the distance immediately, but I had no intention of letting him do so. I quickly raised the power of the wind, formed a wind blade in my right hand, and threw it at him.
Mad Dog once again looked panicked. He bit his lip and threw a magic power dagger at me. Meanwhile, he blocked the blade of wind with his white dagger. However, the scattered little blades cut through Mad Dog’s entire body and I easily smashed the dagger with the fork spoon.
“...You are crazy. A cowardly son of a bitch.” Mad Dog cursed.
“Young man, you should have a rag clean out your mouth. I’ll tear out that mouth.”
I ran toward him again. This time, instead of running directly, I flew through the air and did a spin kick. Mad Dog might have felt it was time to act and he threw a dagger at my leg. Perhaps he wanted to poison me. I knew the poison was Arachne’s Poison, but there was still a chance it would affect me. I knew I was resistant thanks to the antidote, but this was the poison that killed Mudur who was equivalent to a first-grade constellation. I couldn’t show any carelessness toward this guy.
“What...?!”
After turning one more time in the air, I dodged the dagger with a small gap. Then I kicked his face two times. Thick smoke rose from Mad Dog’s face.
“Keuk. You dog...!”
“Shut up.” I fired a cobweb to shut his mouth. Then I once again fired a cobweb at him with both hands. However, Mad Dog avoided the cobweb with calmer and more flexible movements than I thought. Even so, not everything was avoided.
“...!”
He could never have the upper hand over me as long as I had the super sensitivity stat. No, even if he had it, I would still kill him. Mad Dog tried to remove the cobweb stuck to his chest. Before that, I pulled the cobweb and quickly charged at him. I held the cobweb that hadn’t been released in one hand while stretching out my feet toward his chest.
“Sun Road.”
The explosive power of the massive sidekick caused Mad Dog to fly through the air. Mad Dog was helpless against the countless barrage of kicks. I thought of nothing while floating in the air and simply gave into my instincts. I was trying to kill him as painfully as possible.
“Kueeeok!”
The cobweb on Mad Dog’s mouth was removed due to the flames of Sun Road and Mad Dog continued to scream. The moment Sun Road ended, I twisted my body in the air, pressed my knee into his neck, and pushed him into the ground.
“Kaaaack...!”
The clown’s face was bleeding and was bizarrely distorted. The smile could no longer be seen on his face. His health was still around 30%. Just like the other Fire Dragons, he seemed to have increased his fire resistance. Somehow, they were like cockroaches.
“Kuaaack...!”
Mad Dog’s dagger stabbed toward my side, but I had a skill I prepared for this moment.
[The low-grade magic ‘Stone Skin’ has been used.]
[Part of your body has hardened to solid stone.]
There was a sound as my side hardened into stone. Mad Dog’s dagger had no power against it. There was only a sound. I pushed my face closer to his disbelieving eyes.
“...Why am I trying to get revenge on you?”
I grabbed the dagger from his hands and stared down at him. My left hand was already hardened into stone skin. Mad Dog heard the terrible sound of iron and stone colliding.
“You touched something you shouldn’t have touched.” I gave more strength to my left hand and the sharp dagger cracked. Then it quickly shattered. “It is the death penalty for you.”
“You dog...”
I slammed the fork spoon into Mad Dog’s forehead several times. Of course, I didn’t forget to tear at his mouth like I said earlier. Mad Dog twitched a few times as his screams died down.
“This rude bastard...”
I immediately pulled out a cigarette. I lit it with the sun flames and the taste was excellent.
“Sigh.”
A trumpet rang out to announce the end of the match while the smoke dispersed.
