Chapter 127:
We kindly ask for your understanding regarding the inconsistency of character pronouns, particularly for the Entities (ex. The Greedy Predator). In Korean, pronouns are rarely used, making it challenging to ascertain a character's gender or identity until later narratives unfold. Given this is a guest-funded site, the time to backtrack is better used to keep other works' going. On a more important note, refrain from sharing this work on social media to ensure our survivability. Thank you for your cooperation!
108 years. Even the strongest L-class Hunter in the world couldn’t utter a word in the face of such an unfathomable time.
“108 years…?”
“That’s ridiculous! Someone who lived for 108 years maintaining the appearance of someone in their 20s? Even Healers can’t stop aging. What have you done?” Monique, who had treated countless patients as the world’s greatest Healer, couldn’t cure herself from aging.
“I don’t know why my youth has been preserved. However, while 108 years passed inside the dungeon, only five years passed on Earth. Maybe that’s the reason.”
“Is such a thing possible…?”
“No one predicted the world would change like this.”
In a world where things had changed so drastically, there was no room to deny the impossible. Seong Jarim’s words were plausible, and Monique couldn’t refute them anymore. She sighed and sat back down. “Well, your words aren’t entirely wrong. Hmm. I wonder if someday I’ll get to examine your body thoroughly.”
“Don’t talk about it as if you’re going to dissect an experimental subject…”
“Aren’t you curious about the exact reasons too?”
“Not at all!”
