Chapter 28: Bless (1)

Chiik-

Juri couldnt believe her current situation as she sat in a steak restaurant, having lunch with Ryu Min. It felt like a dream come true.

To have a meal and converse with someone I like Its a moment Ive only fantasized about. Can this really be happening to me?

The reality of it all hadnt quite sunk in, much like when she was first dragged into this otherworldly realm.

Are you enjoying your steak? Juri asked Ryu Min.

Yeah, Im. I really like it, Ryu Min replied.

Then lets dig in, Juri said, her voice tinged with shyness.

For a while, the only sounds between them were the satisfying cuts into their juicy steaks.

I should say something, Juri thought to herself, feeling the weight of the occasion. Although it was just a simple meal, it felt like a date, and she found it difficult to find the right words.New novel chapters are published on

This wont do. How can the person who invited the other remain silent? It will only make the atmosphere awkward. I need to summon my courage.

Breaking the silence, Juri took the initiative to start the conversation.

How did you manage to win the lottery jackpot? They said you won it five times in a row.

Oh, that? It was revealed to me in a dream. I was lucky, Ryu Min explained.

Wow So, you must have made a fortune, Juri marveled.

Do I even need to worry about money for the rest of my life? No. But I still need to worry about my life, though, Ryu Min chuckled.

Oh! Right. Ive been curious about something. How was your first round? Was it tough dealing with those goblins? I had quite a hard time, Juri shared, recalling her own struggles.

Though initially difficult, Juri managed to find her voice, and the conversation flowed smoothly. Their shared experience as players created an unspoken bond, making time fly by unnoticed.

What zone are you in? Juri asked.

ESKS45-5, Ryu Min replied.

Oh, Im in ESKS122-7 What a shame. Looks like we wont be able to meet in the other realm, Juri said with a tinge of disappointment.

Ryu Min couldnt help but smile inwardly, assuring himself, Dont be disappointed. We might meet in the future, who knows?

As the number of survivors dwindled, the zones will naturally merge, allowing them to meet even if they were in different areas.

What level are you? Juri inquired.

Ryu Min pondered briefly before answering, Ten.

Of course, thats assuming Juri reaches the maximum level.

It wouldnt be a difficult task.

By saving Juri and growing together while receiving buffs, they would naturally reach the maximum level.

For now, it will be challenging to receive buffs since we are in different zones.

Even if he received buffs right before entering this otherworldly realm, the buffs wouldnt persist.

Injuries suffered in this realm didnt affect their physical bodies in reality.

In essence, the pre-receiving buffs trick wouldnt work either.

Still, Im grateful that I will be able to receive buffs as desired.

From the beginning, Ryu Mins intention in approaching Juri was to receive the Bless buff in the real world.

That way, I can increase my chances of obtaining the Random Gold Pouch.

The Random Gold Pouch, received as the initial class change reward, was an item that gave a random amount of gold.

Since it was distributed randomly, luck played a significant role.

The higher the luck stat, the more gold it would yield.

What will happen if I maximize my luck with the Rune of Slaughter and then use the pouch?

He might acquire a more substantial amount of gold than he initially anticipated.

Wow, this is fantastic! Thanks for the buff, Juri.

Hehe, if you ever want a buff, just let me know. Its no trouble at all.

Got it. But I have one question though

Yeah? What is it?

Why did you invite me here? You mentioned having something to tell me.

Ah

Lost in the conversation, Ryu Min forgot to address the important matter.

Juris face flushed with embarrassment.
