Two crystal balls offered by the old man of dreams.
The red one showed a misfortune in the short-term that could be changed.
The blue one showed the unchangeable end of my life.
“There’s also the option of choosing neither. It’s your choice.”
Not choose when presented with this?
No way.
“I’ll choose the red one.”
There was no special reason for choosing the red crystal ball.
It was a no-brainer, really.
No one wanted their ending spoiled.
To live while knowing the end of my life… especially if it was a bad ending that couldn’t be changed… My remaining days would be filled with suffering. Wouldn’t it just haunt me and constantly replay in my mind?
Of course, I might see a good ending, but… judging by the series of events that had happened to me, the probability of a sad or bad ending was high…
‘Nothing ever came easy for me…’
It was better not to know. If I saw a bad ending and it became fixed… I didn’t even want to imagine it.
“Everyone chooses the red one.”
The old man removed the blue crystal ball from the table. It vanished like smoke, leaving only the red crystal ball that emitted a faint glow.
“Alright. Then observe. The misfortune that will befall you in the near future.”
As the old man spoke, the red crystal ball flashed like a flare, showing me a glimpse of the future.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Skeletons.
Giant Skull.
Supermarket Collapse.
Headless Knight.
Death.
Death Death Death Death Death
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
“H-holy shit!!!”
Dozens of scenes flashed before my eyes in that brief moment.
What… What did I just see? It was horrifying. Would such a thing really happen to me?
“Hahahaha!!! What did you see that surprised you so much?”
I… saw death.
Countless deaths.
Severed corpses.
They were all… my women… Fuck…
“What I just saw… Will it really happen? Really?”
“Probably. But don’t worry too much. The future changes depending on your actions. And the moment you observed it, the change has already begun.”
“Huh…”
What I saw…
Were several gruesome scenes.
First, the supermarket, our base, was destroyed and had collapsed. The building crumbled, and dust billowed into the air. And people were dying everywhere.
I didn’t know how many had died. It happened too fast for me to count. It seemed like almost everyone inside the supermarket except for a few Awakened was dead.
And what destroyed the supermarket were countless skeletons and a giant skull. An uncountable number of skeletons… I didn’t know why skeletons, not zombies, were attacking us. So skeletons would appear later on…
They must be creatures that appear as the disaster updates. How far would these updates go? Skeletons beyond zombies… At this rate, I was afraid that dragons or something like them might appear later.
‘And the giant skull…’
What was that monster? I had no idea.
It was a giant skull, much larger than the 3-meter tall War Boy. It was almost as tall as a four-story building. It was covered in rotting flesh…
A monster the size of a building…
‘It had one eye socket.’
A one-eyed giant skull. I had an idea of what it was.
Anyone who had read Greek mythology as a child would know of it. The only one-eyed giant I knew of was the Cyclops.
‘Fuck… They’re even sending mythological monsters as undead now?’
Would dragons really appear later? I desperately hoped such a fucked-up thing wouldn’t happen.
‘Come to think of it… the Abyssal Weaver, Kishiria, was also a boss in the Labyrinth Palace or something like that… This really feels like dragons might appear later on…’
The thought made me dizzy. It meant that I would have to fight monsters on Kishiria’s level later.
‘But the giant skull seemed manageable.’
It was just incredibly large and seemed to be relying on its mass, so I felt like I could defeat it.
I saw a scene where Ah-ram had smashed its head with Crushing Blow.
As long as dozens of them didn’t come charging at us, flattening the ground, we could handle it.
‘The bigger problem was the one that appeared after the giant skull.’
It was a headless knight in black armor with an imposing physique.
The knight emerged from the pile of shattered skeletons, turned black, and summoned armor, a sword, and a skeletal horse.
I didn’t know why it appeared, but judging from the fact that it had emerged from the pile of skeleton corpses, it might appear when a certain number of skeletons were destroyed.
‘It’s all speculation for now, but anyway…’
The knight, riding its skeletal horse, wielded a massive, human-sized sword with ease.
Everyone who managed to escape the collapsing building was destroyed by the knight’s massive sword and died.
Ha Jin-seong and Ha Jin-woo were cut in half before they could even fight back, and Hwang Soo-min and the other Awakened were also mercilessly slaughtered.
‘I didn’t see myself among them…’
The scenes I saw felt like I was looking down from above.
An omniscient observer’s perspective.
So I could see the entire area around the supermarket, but I wasn’t there. I only appeared after everything was over and all my companions had been annihilated.
It ended with a scene of me kneeling down and crying… I wasn’t there when my companions were being slaughtered.
‘Something that happens when I’m not there. While I’m away… everyone dies.’
My slaves… and even my women… All of them.
This was a problem.
Why would I be away? I had no idea. Would this happen while I was in the Black Market?
‘But why are zombies so strangely attracted to me…? Is it because of the Myriad Demons’ Favor? Or is it because of my strange Luck stat? What is it? What’s the reason?’
I felt like I was going crazy. Seeing my women slaughtered and dead, I was filled with rage, frustration, and stress, which made my blood boil.
“Hahahaha!!! Judging by your reaction, you saw the worst possible future.”
As I was lost in anguish, the old man took a pipe from his pocket and lit it. He puffed on his pipe and laughed heartily, as if he was greatly amused.
I was dying inside, and I was furious at the old man who was laughing while I was suffering, but he was an unknown god. If I attacked him recklessly, I might face a fate worse than death.
I suppressed my anger.
‘This isn’t the time to be angry.’
I had to figure out when the tragedy I just saw would occur.
‘Were the cherry blossoms in bloom…?’
The trees in the scenes I saw were still bare, with no cherry blossoms.
Then it would probably happen before March ended.
‘What about the equipment they were wearing?’
Their equipment seemed unchanged.
Eun-ji was still wielding her chain sickle, Ah-reum her short sword, Ah-ram her hammer…
‘Huh? The weapon Ha-rin was holding…’
Claws.
Ha-rin usually carried an axe, but in the scene I just saw, she was dead while wielding claws instead of an axe.
‘And…’
The three figures hovering near Hee-sun… weren’t those spirits?
Then the invasion would likely begin after Ha-rin obtained the claws and Hee-sun contracted with three low-ranking spirits.
‘And if skeletons appear in the update notes, I should be on high alert from then on.’
After some thought, I was able to roughly estimate the timing of the invasion by those damn monsters.
I couldn’t leave my post after skeletons appeared, Ha-rin obtained claws, and Hee-sun finished contracting with the spirits.
‘I need to be more careful from now on.’
It would be disastrous if I got into trouble after randomly eating something that seemed beneficial. The invasion couldn’t start while I was incapacitated.
‘But now that I know this, the future has changed… I won’t let that damn future come to pass.’
If I stayed alert, I could prevent it.
Even that headless knight would die if I bombarded it with skills and shot it with the Trumpet Gun.
If that didn’t work, I could tear the amulet and summon Siegfried or directly summon Kishiria.
As I was resolving to do everything in my power to prevent the misfortune, the old man, who had been quietly smoking his pipe, exhaled a puff of smoke and said…
“It’s time for you to return.”
“Ah, yes.”
“But do you know the fundamental property of dreams?”
“Huh? What’s that…?”
Another new keyword. Was there some complicated rule here like in the Black Market?
I already had a lot on my mind, so I hoped it wasn’t something complicated and difficult.
“It’s nothing much. Dreams are forgotten upon waking.”
“What…?”
“You arrived here through a dream. So the moment you wake up, your memories will become hazy, and if you’re not careful, you’ll forget everything that happened in the dream.”
“W-wait!”
Forget everything?
I had to remember. That fucked-up future I saw…
So I could prepare…
“It was a pleasure meeting you. I hope to see you again at the end.”
The old man said while clapping his hands.
The space distorted, and everything was sucked towards the old man.
Pop!
My consciousness faded….
And I woke up.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
“Ugh…”
Squish squish squish…
“Wh-what…?”
My body was stiff… It didn’t feel like I had slept at all… And what was this smell?
A very… erotic… and… wet, fleshy scent…?
“Ahh…♡”
Slip, pop.
“Mmm…!!!”
A wave of pleasure surged through my lower body, making me tremble.
At the same time, I stretched my legs and released a torrent of semen.
And the woman who quickly grabbed my penis and sucked up the gushing semen, not letting a single drop go to waste, was…
“Wh-what?!”
It was Ye-won.
With her blonde hair cascading down, she was sucking my penis while tears streamed down her face… Why was she crying while sucking me off?
“Why… Why am I last…? Sob…”
I didn’t know what she meant by “last,” but unlike usual, she clung to my penis as if she wouldn’t let anyone else have it, devouring it greedily.
“W-wait…!! I… I have to remember something…!! Mmm…!!!”
Before I could say anything, large breasts pressed against my face, smothering me.
This weight and heft… Merhere?
“You’re awake. Did you have a good dream?”
I heard Merhere’s voice. I tried to answer, but as I opened my mouth, her nipple slipped inside.
The soft sensation made me instinctively suck on her breast.
‘Th-this isn’t right! These crazy women…! How long did they do me while I was asleep?!’
Judging by the amount of semen, I seemed to have been gang-raped mercilessly.
Of course, it felt good. Not bad. Honestly, it would have been better if we had done it while I was awake, but… being ravished the moment I woke up was also quite…
“Mmm..!! Fuha…! W-wait…!”
Even as I struggled, my memories were fading.
Even the Everyday Nightmare, the first dream I had, was now completely hazy, and I could barely remember what it was about.
Wait, what was I trying to remember?
“Hmm? Oppa, you’re awake…? Yawn…”
Eun-ji, who was naked and sleeping next to me, snuggled closer.
I felt like I was going crazy while surrounded by women pleasuring me from all sides.
So I shouted. Before the precious memories of the dream completely evaporated, I shouted what I had seen.
“Listen up, everyone. We’re all going to die soon!”
Wait, it felt like I skipped a lot of details…
“What kind of sleep talk is that…? Oppa…”
I had spoken seriously, but it didn’t seem to register with them.
They just thought I was sleep-talking.
“No, no!! We might all die!! Because…”
“You had a scary dream. Don’t worry.”
Merhere even stroked my head gently, as if trying to reassure me.
The comforting sensation made me want to close my eyes again…
“Ugh! Giant Skeleton! Dullahan! Ha-rin’s claws! Three spirits!!”
In the end, I shouted whatever I could remember before the dream completely faded.

T/N – Hello guys. Sorry about not being able to release last Tuesday and Thursday. I was sick these past couple of days, and in fact, I’m still not doing too hot right now (Or maybe I AM too hot right now. Get it? Cough Cough). I’m getting better, but I wanted to release these chapters before the weekends to give you guys something to read. I should be able to post as usual on Sunday, so no worries. (5/23/2025)
Lol, imagine if he wasn’t able to remember the misfortune because he was being fucked by his women the moment he woke up. Well, you reap what you sow.
If you find any mistakes, feel free to point them out in the comments.
