            <description><![CDATA[“Ugh&#8230; why did the temperature suddenly drop like this?” “&#8230;&#8230;” Determined to hide his tears, Sa-yoon had unleashed a subtle shroud of frost energy to sap the mounting heat from his eyes, but the biting chill had clearly proven too much for a normal human to endure. Seeing the man shiver as his lips turned a faint shade of blue, Sa-yoon quietly withdrew the…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[“The air’s turned crisp all of a sudden. I suppose autumn is finally making its entrance.” Perhaps it was because his daily life had finally settled into a semblance of peace, but time seemed to accelerate lately. The half-year spent in the villa had felt like a blink, as had the three months following his return. The sweltering summer heat had eventually succumbed to…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The documentary, which had debuted amidst absolute chaos, unfolded exactly as the delusional netizens had hoped. Following the original plan, the daily lives of the three heroes were stripped bare for the public. Sa-yoon led the ninety-minute feature as the talent-obsessed Guild Master, while Han Geon-joo played the part of the lethargic, gifted younger lover, and Lee Jaehee rounded out the cast as the…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Sa-yoon glowered at the frozen frame on his screen, his features twisted in a mask of pure, unadulterated disbelief. Beside him, Han Geon-joo let out a pained groan, his brow furrowed as he watched the final moments of the documentary teaser. “I didn&#8217;t expect it to look like this,” Geon-joo muttered, leaning back with an exhausted sigh. Nearby, Lee Jaehee offered a benevolent smile while…]]></description>

We’ll wrap up the filming here!” “Great job, everyone!” “Thank you for your hard work!” At PD Ju Ui-heon’s signal, the cluster of cameras finally ceased their relentless tracking and were stowed away. After forty-eight hours of grueling, exhaustive filming, the production crew looked as haggard as if they had just survived a two-day excursion through a high-rank gate. Lee…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Eighteen hours into the shoot. The production crew from the Documentary Department clutched their cameras with a grim resolution: they were, quite literally, on the verge of death. The head writer, holding today’s schedule provided by Sa-yoon instead of a camera, shared the sentiment. “…Is this… for real?” Looking at the timetable, the writer questioned him with a trembling voice. The current time was…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[From a vantage point higher than any monster or summon, Yen began filming. Through the small camera lens, he captured the three figures as they overwhelmed thousands of monsters. Or rather, to be precise, his focus was locked onto a single person. Kwon Sa-yoon’s black hair, grown long enough to cover his ears from a lack of trimming, whipped wildly in tandem with his…]]></description>

Please, help me!” “Noona!” “Chae-ul-ah!” Monsters by the dozens poured out from a gate that had manifested without warning at the subway ticket counters.

            <description><![CDATA[Sa-yoon basked in the roaring cheers for a fleeting, pleasant moment before drawing the daggers from his waist. As he plummeted toward the floor, dozens of throwing knives whistled through the air, converging on him. He had anticipated this. Now that the guild was being overhauled, an initiation ceremony for a fresh start was a gauntlet even Sa-yoon, the Guild Master, couldn&#8217;t avoid. This…]]></description>

The tip of the dagger grazed his skin by a hair’s breadth. That single dodge, however, spiraled instantly into an opportunity for a counter. Stretching out the arm he had pulled back to evade the…]]></description>

Jongsik and Gyeongjin were likely running themselves ragged handling the financial and internal administrative issues, but there were inevitably obstacles they couldn&#8217;t touch. Those were exactly what Sa-yoon intended to settle today. Streeetch.…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[“Stop wallowing in pointless sentimentality and let&#8217;s talk business.” Barking an order at the Noah members—who were behaving with an uncharacteristically desolate, subdued solemnity—Sa-yoon rapped his knuckles roughly against the tabletop twice. Only then did their eyes, which had been lost in deep thought, slowly snap back into focus. Despite the brief commotion moments ago, their gazes were still steeped in a vague, ambiguous…]]></description>

How many kids are actually left in the guild?” The media was still meticulously tracking the movements of the executives and stragglers, labeling the collective group as ‘Night Rats,’ but in reality, the syndicate had been dismantled a long time ago. Sa-yoon had personally dissolved it with his own two hands. Technically, the Swallow Guild was the only faction…]]></description>

After ten agonizing minutes of enduring their aggressive physical inspection, the thin veneer of patience Sa-yoon had initially mustered finally snapped, his brow twitching upward. “What the hell are…]]></description>

I woke up because he was groaning, and&#8230; he’s burning up. It feels bad, but I have no idea why.” At the mention of it being…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[&#8220;I think you guys have caught up more than enough by now.&#8221; Despite already being held, the two of them kept clinging to him like limpets, desperately trying to get even closer. Eventually forced to just lie down on the sofa, Sa-yoon had been supporting their combined weight for an entire hour. Surely he had given them enough time to bask in the reunion.…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[As if to relentlessly assure him that none of this was a dream, system windows popped up in rapid succession, yet Sa-yoon couldn&#8217;t process a single word. Staring into eyes that clearly recognized him, his breath hitched in his throat. Shock, a bizarre sense of foreboding, and sheer bewilderment crashed over him like a waterfall, soaking him to the bone. Sa-yoon tightened his trembling…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Crazy bastard. Son of a bitch. A demure face hiding an absolute lunatic. Shaking a fistful of Geon-joo&#8217;s hair into the trash can, Sa-yoon rubbed his neck. With his scalp tingling from the violent tugging, Geon-joo mumbled something about a bald spot, but Sa-yoon entirely ignored him, utterly unmoved. Right now, Sa-yoon&#8217;s priority was the safety of his own neck, not Han Geon-joo&#8217;s potential…]]></description>

If those system bastards are suddenly recommending a break, there&#8217;s obviously a reason for…]]></description>

However, saying that out loud sounded entirely too pathetic, so Sa-yoon kept the retort strictly in his head. Picking up another slimy piece of octopus, he chewed on it while casting a sidelong glance at Geon-joo. They were officially dating. They were living…]]></description>

Living right on the coast made a certain level of sea breeze unavoidable, but today the stench was particularly pungent. Tossing around, Sa-yoon remained face-down on the mattress and lazily shook his hand. Clink.  The gemstone bracelet secured around his right wrist chimed with a clear, crisp ring. A loud crash immediately…]]></description>

The bizarre, apocalyptic natural disasters—torrential downpours, pummeling hail, raging typhoons, and towering tsunamis—abruptly ceased. Simultaneously, an identical system window materialized before the eyes of every single person, hunter and civilian alike. The heavens parted, revealing winged angels who descended to scatter pristine white spheres across the earth.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[A wish. As the sheer weight and sudden reality of that single word crashed down upon him, the tension completely drained from Sa-yoon&#8217;s limbs. Counting strictly by the calendar, it had been twelve years. Factoring in the multiple regressions he had endured, decades had slipped by. And if he included the forced mental regressions orchestrated by the system&#8217;s cruel tricks, an unfathomable eternity had…]]></description>

Blinking at the realization that there couldn&#8217;t possibly be a secret of birth on a grander scale than this, Sa-yoon soon furrowed his brow with a thoroughly unimpressed expression. &#8220;And so.&#8221; &#8230;Hmm? &#8220;What the hell do you mean, &#8216;hmm&#8217;? Finish the story. How exactly did things end up like this? I…]]></description>

It wasn&#8217;t the gods&#8217; waiting room, nor was it the mortal realm. The pale light within the profound darkness he had witnessed when the Voice of the Spirit activated. Sa-yoon was standing in that exact place once more. However, if there was one glaring difference from…]]></description>

The deity&#8217;s pristine chains immediately lashed out to protect their master and strike Sa-yoon, but the moment Sa-yoon unleashed his biting frost, the ferocious chains froze solid in midair, utterly immobilized. &#8220;Kuaaaaagh!&#8221; As an agonizing shriek tore…]]></description>

Even the gods could not fathom its origin, but one thing was certain: Unknown was the accumulated mass of systemic errors generated every time Sa-yoon&#8217;s body met death across multiple timelines, every time the world&#8217;s clock was forcefully rewound. It was a catastrophic error—an entity that…]]></description>

Desperately shoving past his own swarm of black snakes, he dove after his lover. Despite his frantic, repeated screams, Sa-yoon didn&#8217;t so much as twitch, dragging a suffocating panic to the surface of Geon-joo&#8217;s mind. &#8220;Sa-yoon hyung!&#8221; Whether the name simply couldn&#8217;t reach him or he was too far…]]></description>

Finally able to draw out his original, explosive speed entirely, Sa-yoon struck at the Chief God&#8217;s neck with everything he had. Claaang!  The white chain effortlessly deflected Sa-yoon&#8217;s blade, instantly counterattacking to ensnare him. Snatching the chain with one hand, Sa-yoon yanked it violently.

Isn&#8217;t it entertaining watching divine beings tear each other apart like rabid dogs in front of mortals?&#8221; Sweeping back his disheveled hair, the Battle God chuckled and whistled sharply, thoroughly enjoying the chaotic spectacle.

Sa-yoon felt like the undisputed sovereign over any domain where frost could take hold. Immensely satisfied, a radiant smile graced his lips as he descended toward the water&#8217;s surface, driving his frost energy downward with a crushing force. As if a…]]></description>

After subjugating roughly twenty of the monstrosities, the time required to bend a single Death Knight to his will plummeted to less than five seconds.

            <description><![CDATA[The moment the second trial commenced, the blindingly pristine white floor of the testing ground curdled into a murky, boiling black swamp. Suffocating heat radiated from the sludge, accompanied by a chilling, murderous intent that scraped down their spines. A nauseating stench assaulted their noses—a scent Sa-yoon was intimately familiar with. The stench of death. &#8220;It feels like we&#8217;ve drawn a particularly nasty examiner,&#8221;…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[FLASH! A torrential downpour of blinding light stabbed his eyes, completely white-washing his vision. Gripping the fur of the summon that had carried them seamlessly through the gate threshold, Sa-yoon lowered his head with a sharp scowl. Mannerless bastards. Subjecting them to a sensory attack the absolute second they entered proved the system was either terrified of them or intentionally trying to cripple them…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[&#8220;You&#8217;re leaving for good soon. How does it feel?&#8221; Lee Han asked. &#8220;Han-ah. Watch your mouth. What do you mean &#8216;leaving for good&#8217;?&#8221; Mi-jeong sharply corrected his unnecessarily provocative tone before sweeping her gaze across the interior of the Swallow Guild building. Taking in the decor, she nodded in satisfaction. When she casually asked who had designed it, Jaehee—who was currently grooming his summons&#8217;…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Knock, knock. The sound of rapping against the bathroom door broke Sa-yoon&#8217;s focus as he glared into the mirror post-shower. It was Geon-joo&#8217;s signal telling him to finally come out. Having spent a long time silently warning his reflection that they were absolutely fucked if he didn&#8217;t pull this off, Sa-yoon wiped the water from his face and stepped out of the bathroom. Geon-joo,…]]></description>

Knowing exactly what the younger man had swallowed back, Sa-yoon chuckled softly and patted the hand resting on his shoulder. &#8220;They didn&#8217;t leave behind any bodies, but there is a place where I laid them to rest.&#8221; His parents and the…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Having finally caught up on long-overdue sleep, Sa-yoon opened his eyes after a solid six hours. No wonder his body had felt so incredibly heavy; Han Geon-joo was plastered against him like a giant leech, his heavy leg thrown possessively over Sa-yoon&#8217;s hip, refusing to budge. Who taught you to use a living person as a body pillow? So damn clingy. Rolling over, Sa-yoon…]]></description>

Acting as if it were no big…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Standing before Han Geon-joo’s family home, Sa-yoon stared down at the absurd mountain of gifts threatening to spill from his arms. He couldn&#8217;t tell if he had packed for a major holiday or a simple household visit, yet a nagging anxiety still whispered that it wasn&#8217;t enough. Easily reading Sa-yoon’s spiraling panic, Geon-joo nudged his shoulder, urging him to just go inside already. &#8220;You&#8217;ve…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[&#8220;It&#8217;s exactly as I said. Currently, your error progression has entered a stabilized state, Sa-yoon-ssi. Even to my eyes, it reads as &#8216;Temporary Stabilization.&#8217; Given that the adjacent numerical value is resting at 80 percent, you should be perfectly safe until the war begins. The only caveat is the &#8216;temporary&#8217; aspect—there&#8217;s no telling when that fragile balance might shatter.&#8221; &#8220;Temporary stabilization, huh? Does it…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Stepping out of the VIP suite, Sa-yoon immediately sought out Gyeongjin for a debriefing on the summit&#8217;s conclusion. The results were immensely satisfying: under the strict condition that they only dealt with syndicates boasting ten or more members, Perse would rent out a single Divine or SSS-rank weapon to each qualifying faction. In exchange, Night Rats was set to rake in an astronomical fortune.…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[&#8220;Honestly, I&#8217;m a little surprised. You weren&#8217;t a part of the board I envisioned.&#8221; Pulling back from the embrace of Geon-joo—whose hair had suddenly lengthened—the golden-eyed Sa-yoon murmured softly. Staring blankly at the fading warmth of the entity that had slipped from his grasp as effortlessly as a phantom, the Demigod&#8217;s lips parted. &#8220;What do you mean?&#8221; &#8220;Exactly what I said. And let me…]]></description>
