[The Élivágar’s blessing (SS) is disabled.]

[The effect of Vanishing Darkness (SS) is weakening.]

[System SS-277. An error has occurred.]

[The Twilight Guide (SS) is disabled.]

“…”

Kang Yoo-hyun’s face was extremely expressionless as he looked at the system window that informed him of the disabled or weakened skills in front of the SS class boss monster, the Draugr King.

This was not the first time he had met the Draugr King. Despite awakening to the SS class, the only boss monster in Niflheim that he couldn’t defeat was the Draugr King.

Kang Yoo-hyun recalled the time that he had attacked the Draugr King. He was not alone back then. He was with the first generation of Awakeners who were trapped in the gate with him. Although they didn’t have a high rank as Kang Yoo-hyun, they were veterans who had gone through countless battles.

However, Kang Yoo-hyun ended up alone at the end of that battle. The SS-class Draugr King had the ability to neutralize skills lower than his. That’s how the other Awakeners were helplessly defeated.

Kang Yoo-hyun, the only SS class, also couldn’t do anything due to his lower skill ability than the Draugr King. All he could do was watch his comrades die and cowardly flee by surviving alone.

-Yoo-hyun-ah…

He could only hear the faint voice of Song Yoon-Jae, the first generation Awakener who remained by his side.

-Yoo-hyun-ah, run away.

He was a hunter with the skill to make everything made of soil harder than steel. The Draugr King was a monster with high physical attacks, so his ability could  defend against them.

-Come on… if I let go of my hand, your ability will be weakened. So please…

But soon he reached his limit. The powerful shield made by Song Yoon-Jae was about to break. The two, remaining in the last stronghold, had to make a difficult decision.

-You have to survive and return to the original world.

-…

He doesn’t remember what he answered to Song Yoon-Jae’s desperate request. Only screams hovered in his ears.

“Kiiii—-!!!!!!!!!!!”

The Draugr King howled as if he recognized Yoo-hyun. Seeing the remaining dead monsters fly like moths led by the Draugr King’s screams, Yoo-hyun calmly raised his magic sword.

[Niflheim-SS31 temporarily opens channel]

[“The Ruler of the Dead” laughs at you.]

“…”

The jet black letters appeared in front of Kang Yoo-hyun, whose expression stiffened.

[Shall I lend you a hand?]

Eventually, Kang Yoo-hyun’s face contorted.

“Fuck off.”

[“The Ruler of the Dead” laughs happily saying he likes you because you have a temper.]

What a sick bastard.

The only opponent that Kang Yoo-hyun showed a strong hostility to was him. His comrades didn’t all end well from the hand that he generously extended to them.

He was a demon bastard who played with people just for his own interests. It was then that Kang Yoo-hyun, who was frowning, ignored the messages and system notification and tried to attack the Draugr King.

“Arghhh!”

“…!”

Someone fell from the sky. Kang Yoo-hyun’s eyes widened as he received the falling body, unexpectedly.

“Ugh.”

“…Han Yi-jin?”

It was Han Yi-jin who fell into Kang Yoo-hyun’s arms. His fair complexion became paler and he couldn’t open his eyes properly and groaned. With the boss  in sight, Kang Yoo-hyun frowned with a puzzled expression on his face.

“Ugh.”

That Eden! Although I told him to throw me, he threw me like throwing a luggage.  I thought I was going to be airsick, this is the worst.

I groaned and could barely open my eyes. Then, I was met with bright clear blue eyes.

“…Han Yi-jin?”

“…”

Fuck. I was surprised when I met Kang Yoo-hyun’s stiff face. Unknowingly, I hugged Kang Yoo-hyun in a princess hug position.

“Why are you…”

Kang Yoo-hyun, who had a serious expression on his face and pursed lips, raised his head. Then he quickly retreated backwards with me in his arms.

Puck!

At the same time, the ground we were standing on was dented. One move shook the ground and melted the surroundings due to its toxicity. I stared blankly at the scene while in Kang Yoo-hyun’s arms.

Shit, I’d be dead if I was alone.

I looked at the Draugr King with a frightened face. At the same time, the sound of warnings from the system hit my ears, informing me that all of Han Yi-Jin’s useless passive skills had been disabled.

[System??-197. An error has occurred.]

[Cat movement (C) is disabled.]

[System ??-198. An error has occurred.]

[The effect of oily tongue (C) is weakened.]

[System ??-199. An error has occurred.]

[The Lucky Bag (B) is disabled.]

“…”

Aren’t his skills pretty useless because there’s no offensive type in passive skills? It was a strange notification that made me feel lucky or unlucky.

“Kiaaaa!”

Draugr King did a long scream as he watched us dodge his attacks. No, it’s not us, but Kang Yoo-hyun. The boss monster won’t be interested in a small-fry like me.

It didn’t feel too bad. Rather, it’s good to ignore me as if I wasn’t there.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

The problem is that I can’t leave Kang Yoo-hyun now. The excited Draugr King started to attack recklessly and Kang Yoo-hyun dodged his attacks while hugging me.

“Hey, in front! Fro–!”

“…!”

Suddenly, I became the team leader. Whenever I saw the Draugr King swing his arm, I shouted and then Kang Yoo-hyun would move swiftly to dodge all his attacks with incredible reflexes.

“Ugh….”

However, even if the attack could be avoided, there was no way to stop the poison spreading in the air. The Draugr King emitted a large amount of poison, but it got worse whenever he swung his arm. It didn’t seem to have much effect on Kang Yoo-hyun who was an SS class, but it was fatal to Han Yi-jin.

“Go back to that person with the wind ability.”

“…”

Kang Yoo-hyun, who spoke in such a blunt tone, didn’t even look at me. It didn’t really offend me. Rather, I was the one interrupting him. Although I wanted to apply my skill, I couldn’t concentrate well when he kept moving around so much.

Biting my lip, I glanced at Eden who was flying restlessly above. As Kang Yoo-hyun said, should I retreat and return to Eden?

No, what if Kang Yoo-hyun died when I looked away?

Then everything would be over. If I don’t catch that damn mob boss, the world will perish!

I gritted my teeth and concentrated. I had to concentrate and use the catnip skill amidst this chaos. Then, Kang Yoo-hyun, whose abilities would be enhanced, could capture that mob boss.

Puck!

“Ugh!”

“Han Yi-jin!”

However, overshadowing my determination, we were immediately hit by the Draugr King. I could hear the startled Eden calling my name from afar.

My body and Kang Yoo-hyun’s body rolled on the ground after bouncing away from the attack. I wasn’t actually hurt. This was probably because Kang Yoo-hyun had used his skill right before the attack, or because his body was quite strong.

“Ugh, hey, Kang Yoo-hyun…!”

“…”

I called out to Kang Yoo-hyun when I sensed that the Draugr King was about to attack again. However, he did not respond. I didn’t expect it, so I slipped out from his hold and looked at his face.

“Kang Yoo-hyun! Wake up!”

“…”

Kang Yoo-hyun closed his eyes and remained motionless. This was a disaster.

“Han Yi-jin!”

“Kikikikik!”

Eden’s voice calling my name and the Draugr King’s grating laughter echoed in my ears at the same time. Will it be faster for Eden to come to my rescue or will that bastard get to launch his final attack?

While I was having these ridiculous thoughts in my mind, the approaching black arm of the Draugr King seemed slow, like an old film.1 He smiled. That’s right. He must have been obsessed with Kang Yoo-hyun ever since he missed him in Niflheim. Subconsciously, I hugged Kang Yoo-hyun’s body tightly and looked directly into the Draugr King’s eyes. I could feel a hint of pleasure in his sparkling eyes, mixed with excitement.

Then, a cold system voice echoed in my head.

[“The Capricious” has temporarily entered the Niflheim-SS31 channel.]

[“The Capricious” looks confused at you.]

“…?”

The Draugr King’s arm stopped in the air as soon as the system notification rang. I looked around in astonishment. Everything stopped moving and the surroundings became silent. I gulped nervously, and I heard someone’s voice.

[It’s a shame to die in a place like this.]

“…!”

[I’ll give you a little help, Kitten.]

The man’s gentle voice smiled and disappeared. At the same time, my view turned upside down as Kang Yoo-hyun and I were pushed aside by an invisible force.

“Argh!”

Meanwhile, I didn’t let go of Kang Yoo-hyun’s body, and I closed my eyes and then opened them again.

Kwagwang!

The Draugr King’s approaching arm slammed heavily onto where we were before. I looked down at it from the opposite side.

“Ugh…”

Kang Yoo-hyun frowned as if he had come to his senses. I immediately used my ability when I saw him becoming conscious. Instantly, my body became hot.

Special conditions are required to use this skill for those of a higher rank than me. It’s  physical contact, that is, skinship. In addition, according to the skill description, the higher the level of the skinship, the greater the effect.

Fuck, fuck.

I don’t want to, but I’m not in a position to choose right now. I don’t know what  happened a while ago, but that opportunity probably won’t come again.

“Han… Yi-jin?”

“Damn it.”

Kang Yoo-hyun, whose eyes relaxed from the effect of my skill, looked at me in a daze. I grabbed Kang Yoo-hyun’s collar, with a small swear word, and rubbed his lips hard against mine.

T/N: Dang, didn’t expect there’s constellations involved in the story. Anyway the bomb is finally arrive. Next update is next month lmao jk (＾3＾♪
