Chapter 163: Chat Room
Soo-Ah panted, with her hands on her knees. Sweat dripped down her face as she glanced back. YuWon and Lilith weren't faring much better than her.
But she didn't know the two weren't tired at all. Still, they continued to play their parts convincingly, breathing as if they were too exhausted to move.
"You... who are you two?" Soo-Ah asked.
She had wanted to ask them before, but with the hobgoblin chasing after them; she didn't get a chance.
"I'm YuWon," he said.
YuWon then gestured to Lilith, thinking for a moment, and said, "And this is Sena, my... girlfriend."
Lilith smiled mischievously at the introduction. She tilted her head, raising an eyebrow at her master. YuWon rolled his eyes, and she chuckled, but didn't correct him.
"Nice to meet you," Sena told Soo-Ah.
"I'm Soo-Ah." She extended a hand toward YuWon. "Thanks for... saving me back there."
YuWon was about to shake her hand when Mickey stepped between, offering his hand instead.
"Mickey!" Soo-Ah panicked, wondering how YuWon would react.
But to her surprise, YuWon smiled and shook Mickey's bony hand as if meeting an old friend.
"Nice to meet you, Mickey," he said.
"You're... really okay with this, huh?" she asked, nodding at Mickey.
"Believe it or not, I've seen weirder things."
Lilith patted Mickey's head before linking arms with YuWon. He was taken aback by her action, as it was the last thing he expected. But
Sena
was only playing her role.
Before they could continue, a mission prompt appeared before them.

Quest: Escape the College!
Scenario: Countless goblins have appeared in your vicinity. Either kill their leader or escape the campus to survive.
"We'd be safe for now," YuWon announced.
"How did you know—?" Soo-Ah asked.
"A little birdie told me about it."
YuWon refused to elaborate and instead fixed his gaze upwards. There, he could see the faint outline of an eye staring down at them. It wasn't something he had seen before, but he knew about it thanks to the item he bought from the special store.
[Updated Rulebook] was an item that told YuWon about the many changes made to the game. Like Ereshkigal told him, this time the gods had an active role to play, and they had heavily reduced the angels' influence this time around.
The eye watching over them belonged to a god, overseeing the game and probably choose a paladin—an awakener connected to them. It was like how Yeji was bonded to Sekhmet.
But this time, the gods didn't have to wait for the World Tree to appear to make someone their paladin. They could do it any time as long as the awakener accepted their offer.

That's what makes this timeline even worse.
In the past, YuWon could predict one's strength without using the pendant. But now, there was no way to know that, as anyone could become a paladin and no one would know about it.
The same went for him as YuWon was already a paladin, Ereshkigal's paladin, to be exact. The special shop was a perk he enjoyed because of that.
But it didn't seem Ereshkigal was keen on helping him beyond that. Which was fine, considering her concern about saving the cosmic tree.

YuWon didn't wait and immediately clicked the said tab. A bunch of screens appeared before him like he was accessing a web browser.
This is new.
The place was like a game website with strategies, loot drops, and even chat rooms available. However, YuWon could only access one chat room named Zone No. 23, South Korea. It already had a few messages.
Anonymous User 202: Hello~ I would like to claim this chat room as my harem. Cuties can DM me for the list of requirements~.
Anonymous User 117: I Need A Weapon.
Anonymous User 10: Someone, please get this man a gun.
YuWon sighed and shook his head. Even in the apocalypse, people would never change their habits. But then a name caught his eyes.
Lucifer: I'll be waiting for you.
