Transmigrated into the Gacha Game I Abandoned for 10 Years

The day after defeating the angelic army.

“Hmmm…”

In what was an unexpectedly calm day after the arrival of the angelic army yesterday, Kim Hyunwoo received a report from Elena and discovered several surprising facts.

“…The damage to the territory isn’t as severe as I expected?”

Of course, the battle with the angels took place outside the borders of Lartania, but that didn’t mean there was no damage at all.

After all, there were Metatron’s spear and various divine spells from the angels that flew into Lartania.

However, having witnessed buildings being destroyed in real time yesterday, Kim Hyunwoo was surprised that the damage to the territory was not as extensive as he thought.

“The tertiary wall has been damaged, but not excessively.”

“From my assessment, that really was about the extent of the damage.”

Nodding in response to Elena’s words, Kim Hyunwoo continued.

“Other than that, it seems there were no casualties either…”

Kim Hyunwoo muttered in amazement as he glanced through the report.

“At this level, it’s absurd, isn’t it?”

With a satisfied expression, Kim Hyunwoo nodded and opened the territory window.

As he looked at the buildings, most of which had risen above Level 7 to Level 8, Kim Hyunwoo began to feel a sense of nostalgia for the old Lartania territory.

With the buildings having risen to this level, it was clear that the territory was starting to resemble what he had seen in the game.

“The percentage of the Tertiary Wall has indeed dropped as expected, but it doesn’t look like it has fallen at all considering a war occurred.”

After pondering such thoughts and checking the territory’s status for a while, Kim Hyunwoo nodded and spoke.

“First of all, since there were indeed casualties, let’s compensate the reasonable people fairly. As for the resources needed to build the tertiary wall… Do we need more?”

“No, from what I’ve checked, we should be able to build the tertiary wall with the resources currently in the territory. However, we might need resources to invest in other buildings.”

“…That’s true; we’re starting to run low.”

Based on the enormous resources received from the Calan Kingdom, the territory had risen several levels almost instantly, but naturally, such growth couldn’t be sustained indefinitely.

‘Moreover, from now on, the resources we receive for investment will increase, and we’ll need to build other secondary structures. Continuing to grow like this will be challenging.’

After pondering for a while, Kim Hyunwoo saw Elena bowing her head to get back to work and began to organize his thoughts.

‘…Everything I’ve been worried about so far seems to be going smoothly without any issues.’

If he were to summarize, he had been concerned about three major aspects.

The first was the invasion of the demons and the celestials.

The second was his worry about the recruitment process of the former heroes.

And the last, third concern was the development of the territory.

However, contrary to his worries, the celestials and demons had already vanished almost instantly, and the former heroes of Lartania had been recruited far more easily than he had anticipated.

‘…Well, to be honest, I didn’t worry too much about this part after the restrictions were lifted.’

Excluding that, the last remaining concern was the development of the territory, which was currently thriving both in terms of levels and in the original Labyrinth city that Kim Hyunwoo had established.

In other words, everything was going well.

Yet, despite that, Kim Hyunwoo could not easily let his guard down, and the reason was Loria.

‘…Could it be that this is what she had prepared?’

Kim Hyunwoo recalled her words for a moment but soon shook his head.

At least in his judgment, it felt instinctive that this was not something she had prepared.

Moreover.

‘…Even though I’ve stopped two races, there’s still one more race left.’

As Kim Hyunwoo thought of the otherworld mentioned by the Blue and Red Merchants, he suddenly recalled the Mysterious Merchant and checked the notification window.

[The Mysterious Merchant is coming to the territory to deliver artifacts!]

[Remaining Time: 28 days 17 hours 29 minutes 13 seconds]

“…?”

And he felt puzzled.

“Is it already down to 28 days?”

Staring blankly at the dwindling remaining time, Kim Hyunwoo soon frowned.

‘…It hasn’t even been a month since the last notification popped up, has it?’

Kim Hyunwoo calculated the dates and, noticing the discrepancy in the notification window, displayed a slightly tense expression.

Having already been toyed with by the system window before, he began to suspect that it might be Loria’s doing.

However, there was no way to confirm that.

“……”

Kim Hyunwoo could only silently stare at the notification window of the Mysterious Merchant that was descending for a while.

That afternoon.

“Ugh…”

Elena, having finished all her tasks for the day, brought out the ‘clothes’ she had purchased last time and, blushing deeply, gently set them down.

‘This doesn’t seem right.’

Thoughts floated in her mind.

“Sigh-”

Recently, Elena had been sighing a lot.

The reason was, of course, because of Kim Hyunwoo, whom she had developed feelings for, but to be fair, it wasn’t the only reason.

The reason for her stress was that she was beginning to feel left behind.

‘…Shadra and River definitely mentioned they received the right to make ‘requests’ as well.’

Of course, what Elena knew wasn’t limited to that.

She also knew that the former heroes of Lartania had received the right to make requests yesterday.

…And she suspected that she could guess where the heroes would use those requests.

“Hah…”

Unfortunately, Elena had never received the right to make requests from Kim Hyunwoo.

That said, she didn’t fail to understand the situation.

Unlike the other heroes who had clearly helped Kim Hyunwoo in various aspects, she hadn’t been able to provide significant assistance.

In fact, until recently, she had felt she was growing steadily and being helpful, but once the former heroes of Lartania joined, she hadn’t been able to become a truly useful hero.

She was a hero whose main strength lay in her physical power, which was quite lacking compared to the former heroes of Lartania.

Of course, recently, she had naturally shifted towards handling administrative duties within the territory rather than purely focusing on her physical abilities, which had strengthened her in that area, but that was only in that regard and didn’t qualify her for gaining the right to make requests from Kim Hyunwoo.

It would be strange to give someone the right to make requests just for carrying out their regular tasks.

In any case, fully aware of her situation, Elena felt she was being left behind in her usefulness and in her romantic interactions with Kim Hyunwoo, which led her to make a resolution for today.

‘Is this really the right thing to do?’

Yet, she hadn’t made a final decision.

The reason for her hesitation was Kim Hyunwoo’s response.

It was somewhat pathetic, but Elena hadn’t developed any sort of romantic connection with Kim Hyunwoo.

Even though Elena had expressed herself to some degree, she honestly didn’t know if it had reached Kim Hyunwoo.

And in such a situation, she wondered whether pushing through with this resolution would be helpful or not-

…More specifically, she couldn’t imagine how Kim Hyunwoo would react.

However, she knew all too well that if she remained paralyzed by fear and did nothing, nothing would happen at all.

After all, there were so many heroes around Kim Hyunwoo targeting him.

Therefore, after a while of deep thought, Elena concluded.

“…Let’s do this.”

Ultimately, she gathered her resolve.

No matter how she thought about it, she felt it would be too pathetic to end without conveying her true feelings to Kim Hyunwoo out of fear.

Thus, that night, Elena donned her battle attire and left her room just in time for Kim Hyunwoo to go to sleep.

“Phew-”

As soon as she opened Kim Hyunwoo’s door.

“Master! Please forgive me!”

“Ugh!?”

Elena’s eyes widened as she felt something penetrate her mouth.

Gulp-!

She swallowed it instinctively as she felt something flowing into her mouth.

And then.

“…Huh?”

Elena saw.

Adria, panting heavily, wore a clearly flustered expression.

And then.

“E-Elena?”

The moment Elena heard her bewildered mumble.

Thump thump thump-!

Elena’s heart began to race.

And in that moment, Elena realized.

“…Ah.”

That what she had drunk was the famous Shayu Spring Water.

“……”

The expressions of the two people in Kim Hyunwoo’s room turned to shock.
