Linggis sat beneath the shade of a large tree, far from the bustling city of Korea, which now lay in peace after the threat of the SSS-rank dungeon had been neutralized. His black bag and cane rested beside him. His gaze was empty, like a man reflecting on a life that had just escaped chaos.
But that peace didn't last long. Familiar footsteps approached. Sola emerged from behind the trees, her expression different from usual. Her face was calm, but there was a sharpness in her eyes—something unexpected lurking beneath.
Linggis glanced at her. "You again? What is it this time?"
Sola gave a slight smile, but it wasn't her usual one—there was something unsettling about it. "I just wanted to make sure you're okay."
"I was fine until you showed up," Linggis replied half-jokingly.
Sola ignored the remark. "I have something to tell you."
Linggis raised an eyebrow. "And what is it?"
Sola took a deep breath before dropping a bombshell. "I'm pregnant, Linggis. The child… is yours."
Linggis fell silent for a moment, his expression blank. "How?"
Sola stared at him intensely, her smile shifting into something more unnerving. "Do you remember after we stopped that gate? Elyysia and I took you home because you passed out."
Linggis nodded slowly. "Yeah, and?"
Sola leaned in closer, her gaze unwavering. "You were unconscious for two days. That was just as I hoped."
A bad feeling crept into Linggis. "What do you mean?"
Sola smiled sweetly, but there was a chilling undertone. "I took your sperm."
Linggis' face froze. "You… what?"
Sola showed no remorse whatsoever. "I wanted you to be bound to me, Linggis. This world is dangerous, and I won't let you disappear so easily without something tying us together."
Linggis stared at her, a mix of shock and disbelief in his expression. "You're insane."
Sola stepped even closer, her voice soft but carrying an undeniable threat. "Maybe. But now, you're a part of my life forever."
Linggis remained silent, trying to process the situation that had just unfolded. But one thing was clear—his peaceful life, which had just begun, was once again haunted by chaos. This time, in the form of a yandere woman who had no intention of ever letting him go.
