Lee Shin returned from the altar and arrived at Undermost. There was silence.

Was it because many people left Undermost to go to the second floor?

The place where the festival was held was all clean and looked organized. Most of the people who remained seemed to be sleeping in their own homes.

It was not yet a day since Lee Shin had left. However, there was a sense of strangeness in the appearance of Undermost now and before they had left.

‘Hmm… Something’s wrong,’ thought Lee Shin.

Lee Shin saw a man running near the park. It was his first time seeing this man. Lee Shin frowned.

"I've been waiting for you. Are you finally going up?” the boss asked.

"Yes," Lee Shin replied.

In response to Lee Shin’s warm appearance, the boss fixed his glasses and closed the book he was reading.

"I've already died countless times and my memory has been reset, but I...
