Chapter 263
Before entering a dungeon challenging enough that mental preparation was a must, Soshiro had a habit of checking his fortune for the day. While fortune-telling could be dismissed as mere superstition, Soshiro found that on days when his fortune was favorable, things genuinely went well. Conversely, on bad fortune days, he often barely survived dangerous situations.
Before entering the tutorial, Soshiro had checked his fortune as usual.
“You’ll meet a very important person today! Even if you face unexpected difficulties, a benefactor will lend you a helping hand. Whatever you do today will go smoothly.”
Those were the words of his fortune teller. His fortune was exceptional.
Today was to be a day when everything would work out, and buoyed by optimism, Soshiro entered the Tutorial Zone of the Core.

“Y-you! You bastard! My skewer!” the dragon shouted.
S-shit. Soshiro’s dilated eyes started darting as memories from the past flashed through his mind.
It was during the Hunter Festival in Busan. He had been performing with Ryo when, out of nowhere, a dragon had appeared and kidnapped him. The terrifying moment was forever etched in his mind.
What the hell is a dragon doing here? he thought in horror.
Still, Soshiro quickly prioritized survival.
“I-I already apologized for the skewer incident last time... didn’t I?” he stammered his plea.
