The taxi had brought me to the Han River bridge. I always came here when I felt down. The cool breeze seemed to clear my mind.
As soon as I got out, a strong wind tousled my hair. I was about to step closer to the fence when my pocket vibrated.
[Bom, happy birthday.]It was Dad. I thought he’d forgotten my birthday because he was busy.
Receiving his birthday message lifted some of the gloom that had been weighing on my heart.
More messages came in.
[If you’re free after work, can you spare some time for Dad? I’d like to have dinner together.]The tone was cautious for a father-daughter conversation. We hadn’t seen each other much recently, but a few days ago, we had argued about Dad entering dungeons.
Dad was a D-class Hunter. He often entered high-level dungeons for work, and recently even went into an S-class dungeon.
I was extremely against Dad entering dungeons, fearing he might disappear like the rest of my family.
Even though I knew it wasn’t his fault and it was his way of trying, I couldn’t help expressing my frustration.
In truth, the person I resented most was me, Yubom. Myself.
Everyone was trying to find our family, and all I did was wait, doing nothing.
Having quit my job, shouldn’t I start searching for my family now?
‘If I awaken as a high-class Hunter, Dad won’t have to enter dungeons anymore.’
Maybe if I became a Hunter, I could do something.
Mom was an SSS-class, and my brother was an S-class. So if I awakened as a Hunter, there would be expectations.
There’s a saying that awakening comes in moments of crisis. I glanced over the fence at the river.
“Shouldn’t we stop that person?”
“They’re just looking.”
“No, they’ve been standing like that for a while.”
I heard the whispers of passersby as I stood perilously on the railing.
“Geez, scary…”
But the height was too much just to look at. The seemingly bottomless river appeared ready to swallow life at any moment.
“Right, this isn’t it. What if I really die? That would be a pathetic death, what else could it be… Oh, right!”
Remembering that I hadn’t replied to Dad, I took out my phone. I had no plans, but I didn’t think I could manage my expressions if I saw him today, so I sent a message to meet tomorrow.
I didn’t want to worry him since we hadn’t met in a long time.
“Whistle, whistle!”
Just as I was smiling faintly at the immediate understanding response, someone in the distance ran towards me, blowing a whistle.
“Miss! It’s dangerous, get away from the fence now! No matter how hard it is, you shouldn’t do this!”
A man in a police uniform was quickly approaching. Realizing there was a misunderstanding, I was about to step back when,
“Ah!”
My hair got caught in a joint of the fence.
“Ugh, why won’t it come out.”
As I struggled, the police officer got closer.
“Come here, it’s dangerous!”
“I want to, but this thing…”
“Hurry up! Why are young people so stubborn!”
As the officer pulled at my body, my head was yanked up, and my short hair pulled, causing pain as if my scalp would tear off.
“No, let go, please!”
I pushed the officer with one hand and desperately tried to free my tangled hair with the other.
“Wait! Let me go! My hair is stuck!”
“Oh, really?”
While we struggled unintentionally, the officer let go of me. I lost my balance and started to fall forward.
“Oh no?”
Time seemed to slow down, like tape stretching out. I felt my body toppling over the fence.
The officer’s eyes widened as he reached out. I reached out too, but we didn’t touch.
My body fell slowly. His face grew distant very slowly.
Looking down, I saw the undulating river, opening its mouth as if waiting to swallow me.
‘Is this how I die?’
It was such a futile death. I didn’t want to die yet!
In a desperate moment, I wondered if I might miraculously awaken. I looked around.
But the surrounding scenery just rushed closer to the river, with no sign of a system message appearing.
‘Why not me… if awakening happens in moments of crisis?’
Splash! I plunged into the water. Water flooded my nose and mouth like a flood. My ears felt blocked, and I heard nothing.
‘Why not me? Awaken me too!’
[System is exploring your potential for awakening.]‘What?’
Angry and desperate, I shouted, and the system responded.
[…(Exploring)… This process may take a considerable amount of time.] […(Exploring)…]
While the system remained silent, I thought I’d die before awakening.
As the search dragged on, hope faded. Just when my consciousness was fading, a clear notification rang.
[Class compatibility search completed.] [Congratulations on your awakening. You’ve opened your eyes to new abilities!]‘Really? Seriously? What rank? Don’t tell me, S-class?’
[Class: You have awakened as ‘Campground Owner.’]…What?
[Exclusive skill: Tent Pitching (F) acquired.]…Campground? Tent Pitching? Are you kidding me?
F-class I could understand, but Campground Owner? A class name I’d never heard of.
But I wasn’t in a position to be choosy. As I did this, my body was sinking deeper.
‘Blue Starlight Valley!’
That was the only dungeon name I knew.
[You will warp to ‘Blue Starlight Valley’ shortly.]‘Damn it…’
I thought I had narrowly escaped death at the crossroads of life and death, but another crisis loomed.
[‘Blue Starlight Valley’ warp in 5 seconds. 5… 4… 3…]Blue Starlight Valley was an S-class dungeon.
[2… 1…]
Mom, why did you have to tell me about an S-class dungeon…
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
