There was no reason to waste time.

Yeonwoo instantly crossed through space, arriving at the clearing where the amateur magician had opened the two-dimensional door.

It was a night with a bright full moon. Under the pale moonlight, a grotesque scene unfolded in crimson. The earth had become reddish flesh, and the trees surrounding the clearing swayed like fleshy tentacles.

The mountain, which should have been filled with the hoots of owls and night birds, was now full of squelching sounds.

At the center were two people.

A man with an axe slung over his shoulder. A woman in shaman's clothes, kneeling as she rifled through a book made of flesh. Both had bodies grotesquely transformed, but their minds seemed intact as they conversed.

The man, Yeonwoo's father, whose hand had melted and fused with the axe, swung it menacingly.

"You crazy woman. What the hell have you done?"

"Come on, Yeonwoo's dad. How was I supposed to know this would happen? How could I have known the spirit possession went wrong?"

The shaman woman snapped back. Her mutated shaman clothes rippled. Colorful strings that had transformed into fluorescent tentacles waved in the air, as if trying to lure prey.

The spellbook's influence was similar to spirit possession, and its power was real, so it was understandable for a shaman to make such a mistake.

But that wasn't his problem.

Yeonwoo's father swung his axe at the nearby tentacle trees. Blood spurted like a fountain. Covered in blood, he brandished the axe threateningly.

"If you made a mistake, fix it quickly! At this rate, the whole village might go to hell!"

A door had opened. Contamination poured through the open door. The area turning to flesh was gradually expanding.

The shaman hurriedly began

"I don't care about any of that!"

Ji-yoo sprang up, glaring at Yeonwoo with bloodshot eyes. Her former colleague was now the enemy. An enemy who assigned work, the company boss!

An enemy who tormented life like a life-threatening anomalous entity. Yeonwoo backed down in the face of the investigator's desperate intensity.

"Um... Alright. What is it, approval? I'll approve it when it comes up."

"Please do it quickly. I want to escape as soon as possible."

It seemed she wouldn't back down unless he processed it right here and now. Yeonwoo quickly moved his mouse.

Conveniently, they were using the company's system, so he could check it easily. With a few clicks, it was approved.

"It's done."

"Freedom!"

With that, Ji-yoo threw her hands up and ran out.

"Oh right. It's the day to inspect the dimensional portals."

Yeonwoo left to do work and meet someone he had seen long ago. He headed to the company outpost in the giant dimension that he had strongly recommended.
