The 31st Piece Overturns the Game Board

Chapter 29

Chapter 29

Moments before the message was delivered to Seol, the situation had started with Yeo-myeong.

Yeo-myeong was in despair after Seol rejected his request. Still, he didn't give up on saving his younger sister.

How could he give up after receiving his younger sister's secret letter?

After his older sister, Sae-byeok, died, he thought it was his duty to protect Noeul.

And Noeul herself sent him a message that she was in danger.

That message was what started it all.

Yeo-myeong didn't waste a second running out of his room.

He wasn't able to move his right hand, he wasn't strong, and he was scared. Still, his two feet raced to where his younger sister was.

"Gasp... Gasp..."

He had a dream the night before as well.

- Save me... Yeo-myeong, please... save me...

Sae-byeok would appear in his dreams, covered in blood, and beg for him to save her while grabbing his right hand.

Yeo-myeong would often wake up in shock after seeing something so terrifying.

It felt like he was never going to escape that nightmare. He was sure that this was a curse from his sister for him to live the rest of his life with only one arm, crushed by his guilt.

'It doesn't matter... I don't care!'

It didn't matter if his sister cursed him or if he wasn't able to use his arm. Those weren't what was important to Yeo-myeong.

"Please be safe Noeul, please..."

He would do anything or throw away anything as long as Noeul was able to survive in this changed world.

After their parents passed away when they were young, Sae-byeok raised her siblings.

Yeo-myeong and Noeul never whined to help their older sister and followed her every word. That was how the three grew up.

But everything changed with Sae-byeok's death. Because Yeo-myeong thought this could be his last opportunity to be with Noeul, his legs didn't stop moving.

"Gasp... Gasp..."

It was a moderately-built temporary building.

Despite it being quite close to the center of Kongory, there were countless guild members on guard around it.

There were rumors that this temporary building was built by misappropriating the funds from guild members under the pretense of 'guild operation fees'.

Kyaaaaaaa! Let go!

Yeo-myeong rushed into the building without a second thought the moment he heard that shrill scream.

He had rushed in so quickly that the guards were unable to stop him in time.

"Wh-who the hell are you?!"

"Noeul! Where is Noeul!"

"Oppa!"

Yeo-myeong looked at every person in the building.

And the first person that he saw was a familiar face.

"Noeul!"

"Oppa!"

Noeul cried the moment she saw her older brother.

The time they spent apart might have made her miss him more.

She ran toward Yeo-myeong right away.

It would've been a happy ending if they were able to escape the temporary building but the situation was not that simple.
