Meanwhile, as Jack was praising Izen for a job well done in another part of the continent, his group was busy hanging off the edge of a certain mountain.

Ikami spoke loudly in a very annoyed tone while hanging onto Elio. “Can someone explain to me, HOW THE FUCK DID WE ENDED UP HERE?”

Tumo sighed as his two swords were dug into the mountain, literally holding them up all by himself. "Well, while you were busy looking from the cliff to find the village, me and Elio were talking to each other about how to go about fighting when suddenly... Honestly, what even happened? I just remember being pushed with a very strong force,” Tumo said, trying to climb up while holding everyone's weight.

“As far as I saw, it was a giant eagle chasing Hyeon, which crashed into all of us,” Elio explained while Hyeon, who was holding onto Kamis legs, sighed, speaking in a depressed tone as usual.

“I am sorry; it is probably because of my trait again. I should just die.”

Ikami, who was annoyed by this point, said, “Trust me, I would have made that decision long ago if it were on me. What even if your fucking trait at this point?”

Elio, who was holding onto Tumos legs as he pulled them all up, also nodded, wanting to know.

"Well, I looked at the bird, and it got pissed off. I was happy thinking it would kill me, but” Hyeon spoke, which made everyone freeze for a second before he continued. “But my trait activated…it's called fate plaything. To put it in simple terms, I can't die.”

Yea, that was enough of a shock to even make Tumo freeze, who was trying to climb up to the top and looked down at Hyeon with a confused look.

“I have been unlucky my whole life, so at the end, I tried to kill myself by jumping off a building, and just then the tutorial started. I tried everything I could to kill myself, but I ended up always surviving. No matter what I do, I can't fucking die; it's the worst.”

Ikami wanted to kick that fucker so badly right now, but she held herself back before she realized something. She swung her leg with all her force into Hyeon's face, making him fall down. Which made Tumo and Elio panic.

Meanwhile, Hyeon smiled in his eyes, thanking Ikami, as he fell down with a smile on his face, feeling at peace.

“He will be fine." She spoke before any of them had a chance to say anything. “Now pull us up.” Tumo nodded as he used his whole upper-body strength to pull the three of them up. He laid down on the ground, trying to catch his breath.

“What if he's actually dead?” Elio asked Ikami as he peaked down the cliffside, seeing how deep the fall actually was, making him gulp his dry saliva.

“He seemed happy enough,” she said as she was preparing to move towards the village she saw in the distance. But before they could start moving, the sound of a certain crow was heard flying up the mountain with something in its claws.

Before it could do anything, a giant eagle dived in and grabbed the crow between its own claws, which made the avian drop what was in its claws, which landed right in front of Ikami, Elio, and Tumo.

“I told you it's a curse,” Hyeon said as he got up and dusted off his clothes while his whole team looked at him with a look that was somewhere between confusion and fear based on the absurdity of the situation. Ikami decided to call Jack first.

Surprisingly, he knew about the trait, and he told Ikami to “use him well.” She knew what he meant, which only added to her ever-growing headache.

And so, ignoring the zombieman topic, she decides to lead her group towards the village she had spotted through the next few days. Tumo and Elio, meanwhile, barraged Hyeon with questions and some ethically questionable experiments, mostly done by Elio. Not that Hyeon would say no; if he didn't die, then his team would get information; if he did die honestly, that sounds like a dream if anything by now.

As they arrived near the giant gates, they saw two Viking guards wearing fully metal-plated armor and holding a spear and a shield in each hand, standing on each side of the door. As soon as the guards noticed the little people, they put up their shields and aimed their spears at them. “This is the territory of the Vikings. Go away if you have wandered here by mistake. Guests are not welcome.”

One of the guards said this as Ikami sighed, knowing these people were going to make it harder than it needed to be at this point. “Good thing we are not guests. Tell your ruler that the representatives of the forest giants have challenged them to a battle of conquest,” she said with her hands crossed and a mean look in her eyes. She had spent the last 2 weeks getting annoyed by Hyeon Shenanigand, and she had every intention of taking it out of these giants.
