– Why is the dorm leader so scary and silent…
– Uuuuuuuuuu
– I took some serious damage…
– Adella, even if I disliked you, I never wished for you to be this unhappyㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
– Who said I hated Adella, you bastards!!!
– I pulled you back to life only for it to be confirmed that Adella dies in Part 1.
– That firefly, is that the one that appears at the end?
– Don’t spoil, understand the atmosphere.
– You’ve already done everything you could.
– Why did she commit suicide? Did she really die? For real…?
The chatroom was chaotic.
Those who knew about Adella’s death from the beginning kept the information hidden.
This story comes from defeating Professor Cronicle with Adella at Nightmare difficulty.
In the first place, among Korean streamers who prioritized quick strategies, very few had gone through such developments.
It was always a disadvantage to fight with Adella.
Her survival did not affect the clear at all.
At least the shocking conclusion of Part 1 revealed by a minority of ‘Adella fanatics (cat lovers or cat moms)’ in foreign communities was a fact only those who truly dove into the community could know.
– Are you guys really human?
– What’s certain is that the story writer is not human.
– So that’s why the header of the 월아갤 was always Adella and not Giselle or Luna…
– (Crying Adella con)
– I’ve been on the gallery for a month and didn’t even realize it; I thought just the banner was a cat lover.
– Save my cat, you bastards!!!!!
Where Adella’s blood had been, there now stood a complete ‘Laurel of Life.’
When Name picked up the laurel, a different notification sound played.
[Laurel of Life]
[Synchronization complete.]
[May the blessings of the World Tree be upon you.]
[You can now use 2nd Circle magic.]
[Level: 9 → 10]
[HP: 2400 → 3200]
…
Dead NPCs disappear completely when they are a certain distance away.
That’s why Name could not leave Adella.
Rather, she headed towards the Abyss branch carrying the cold body.
– Say something…
– Are you really going to carry this until the end?
– Can someone please comfort our dorm leader with the support?;;
– She doesn’t seem to be crying at all.
– She might be in shock.
– Why is this rated for 15 and up? I’m going to report it.
– Same.
[‘대학원생살려’ has donated 50,000 won!]
– Are you okay, No Name?
Despite the generous donation filled with concern, she still showed no reaction.
– This is counterproductive!!!
– Our dorm leader still thinks she’s a high schooler; this will give her trauma.
– Was she a high schooler?
– Didn’t they say she was a girl? Is she really a high school girl?
– What happened? Why has the building supposed to be there completely vanished?
The Abyss branch had already been devastated.
There were traces of lines cut into the ground everywhere. The doing of Professor Cronicle.
Had they predicted the invasion time?
Most of the members had left when Name’s group encountered the enemy as they were raiding the main base.
From the ruins, the Gestalt chief popped out with a groan.
“Unspecified? Are you okay? What do you have in your arms?”
“…”
– Oh please…
– At least show it to us.
– I can’t look; I feel nauseous…
– Just turn it off then. I’ll post a summary in the gallery later.
– How can you not look at this?
“Not that… no way, right?”
The sound of rain started pouring down.
Name covered Adella with every piece of clothing she could find, even ignoring her coat.
Gently laid down was the corpse.
As the chief checked, he broke down in tears.
“In the end… it was my fault… my fault… I should have gone with her…”
– What happened to Remy? She didn’t go with them, right?
– She was kidnapped.
– Kidnapped.
– The normal story also centers around rescuing Remy.
– So she was kidnapped from this point.
– No, she was destined to be kidnapped much later.
– Our dorm leader is currently losing all her health in real time? She’s about to die.
– Cold gauge! She’s been soaking wet without clothes!
[‘볆우리’ has donated 10,000 won!]
– Recover your health quickly! At this rate, you’ll die too!

“Poor Adella had less than half a year left…”
[HP: 103/3524(3200+324)]
“My abilities were insufficient; I could only find the way to the Laurel of Life. I ignored the headquarters’ instructions to just wait and acted on my own to save Adella.”
[HP: 94/3524(3200+324)]
“I might have hoped on you. If not this chance, I might lose it forever… If it’s the Forest Guardian’s luck, can I borrow it, even for just a moment?”
[HP: 80/3524(3200+324)]
“There’s no law saying she had to die like this just because she was on borrowed time… it’s all my fault…”
[HP: 72/3524(3200+324)]
The chief explained to Name about the path ahead.
[HP: 48/3524(3200+324)]
The group that seized the laurel is the royal family, and he told her about a few of the suspected subordinate organizations.
[HP: 23/3524(3200+324)]
And he also informed her about the news that Remy had been kidnapped. It was likely their doing.
Daniel had apparently set out again to retrieve her.

“Alphalion and Sisiella are waiting with six members from the Academy Alumni. And you, No Name, I won’t assign you a difficult mission. It’s all because you’re new and haven’t spent much time in our Abyss. You understand, right?”
“…”
“Hmm, I see you need further explanation. It’s very simple. Just go to the back gate of the academy and draw the soldiers’ attention while escaping.”
The system presented another annoying choice before me.
[That’s reasonable, I’ll accept it. / Is the plan coming from the bald guy really just that level?]
– Such a waste; I had broken it all.
– Isn’t Part 1 cleared for the first time with 10/10/10?
– In the end, you died without reaching the checkpoint of Part 2.
– Defeating the boss is practically the same as clearing it.
– If you put it that way, it’s already had the title since defeating Bally.
– Isn’t that so?
– It’s been ages since a hero on a white horse appeared in the story.
– After watching ACK broadcasts all the time, it’s nice to watch the story again.
[Operation time exceeded.]
▶ Is the plan from the bald guy really just that level?
“Bald guy, ugh! This is a plan I’ve been worrying about for more than two months…! Anyway, you just need to go with Adella tonight. It’s a simple decoy operation; easy, right?”
The Gestalt chief kept clearing his throat and averted his gaze.
At the tip of his finger, a cat-human with a sulky expression stood undeniably.
“The detailed plans will be communicated around by teams and Daniel. Until then, you can at least introduce yourselves.”
Adella once again entered her room before the strategy meeting was even over.
She wanted to finish off the beer she had hidden in her room before the chief arrived.
There was no need to see more.
I headed straight up the stairs.
Room 302.
I knocked on the door but opened it without waiting for a response.
The door that wasn’t even locked.
“Ugh?”
It was the same.
Just like before, Adella was sitting on the bed, holding a pint of draft beer, unable to focus.
[‘월r못’ has donated 2,000 won!]
– Let’s just delete this and start over from the beginning?
“Adella.”
“…”
“Adella.”
“Ugh?”
With Adella’s faint response, I unconsciously froze.
There was a sense of discomfort. I furrowed my brow trying to find the cause of the discomfort, but nothing came to mind.
“Ah, it’s you again. You really came quickly, didn’t you? Did the meeting end early?”
Glug, glug.
Only after finishing the remaining drink did she finally stand up.
“Ugh! Nyaa! Huh, Forest Guardian, what’s your name?”
After stretching, she tossed the same question at me as in the first playthrough.
So here,
“No Name.”
I answered like this,
“Well, whoever named you really picked a stupid name.”
You answered just like before.
But what could this discomfort be?
Adella, carefree, began to pick her nose and blew on her finger.
Her expression held none of the seriousness she had before.
The fact that the Adella from the first playthrough was dead hit me hard again.
Did I fail? Me?
No.
No, I did nothing wrong.
Not a single thing,
I can’t be wrong.
I must be perfect.
My obsession returned.
Setting aside the sorrow of having to part with a life, I found myself more outraged that I wasn’t perfect. I loathed myself.
Adella sat back on the bed and began to doze off.
Feeling sorry for her for no reason, I tried to pet Adella’s head.
“Nyaa? What? Were you just about to touch my head?”
I flinched. Before I could even touch her hair, Adella panicked and ducked her head.
With her already flushed face from the alcohol, she scolded me.
“You cat people have really sensitive ears, so you can’t just touch it carelessly! It’s rude!”
Right, I could now find the cause of this discomfort.
Before, even if I launched a punch right up to her face, she definitely considered me a ghost who couldn’t be seen.
We were in the same space, yet we often had pointless conversations.
So I thought it was just the limits of AI and brushed it off.
However, I did not know why, but the Adella of the second playthrough had become more human than the Adella of the first playthrough.
