Confident in his newfound abilities, Gam Deok-bae decided to tackle the dungeon solo. He wanted to test his limits and see just how far he could go.@@novelbin@@

And the result? Gam Deok-bae successfully soloed a D-rank dungeon.

His clear time was one hour and thirteen minutes—a significant improvement from when he was teaming up with Lee Hyun-ah.

I'm not clueless. I noticed right away why Lee Hyun-ah got so gloomy all of a sudden. Could it be because she’s jealous of me advancing ahead of her as a hunter?

Plus, the feelings of inferiority and self-loathing for not being as strong as me must have depressed her. I've been there, so I could empathize with her.

But that didn’t mean I could pretend to be weak just to make her feel better. If she can't keep up, eventually, we’ll have to part ways. So, sacrificing my progress just for the sake of her feelings seemed pointless. It was harsh, but that was the reality.

Still… I could at least try to comfort her.

I decided to organize a drinking session to celebrate my first solo dungeon clear, thinking a drink might help lift Lee Hyun-ah's spirits.

“How’s it going with your boyfriend? Did you guys make up?”

Gulp, gulp!

Thud!
