The Core Talisman was an artifact that could teleport someone to any location from their memory.
Do-Jun’s exploration of the sixth floor, which he had been carrying out in his spare time, was nearing its end. On Friday, with no special plans after work, Do-Jun decided to explore the remaining parts of the sixth floor and wrap things up.
Suddenly, Yong-Yong’s loud exclamation echoed in the living room. “A-am I really this good?”

Yong-Yong was diligently practicing Korean writing with a textbook titled “Children’s Hangul I.” Crouched in a corner, clutching a stubby pencil in his paw, Yong-Yong was visibly trembling.
“I-I got a hundred.”
The book had twelve chapters, each including a page for a self-administered quiz. The quiz page was now filled with red check marks, and the impressive number “100” stood out. Although the content was kindergarten-level—dictation exercises and short reading comprehension tests—it marked a significant step forward for Yong-Yong.
“Ke... kekeke.” Yong-Yong chuckled roguishly, brushing his face with his paw. “As expected of my learning ability... It’s terrifying, truly terrifying.”
For reference, Byeol had already moved on to “Children’s Hangul II.”
