Absolute Dweller

[It seems like this is the boundary of the Otherworld.]@@novelbin@@

On the smartphone screen, there was nothing but pitch-black darkness.

A thick mist of darkness loomed over the area, making it look unmistakably dangerous at a glance.

[……Ahem. Where exactly is this?]

Park Sae-rom looked around and found a sign that hadn’t been swallowed by the dark mist. She took a picture of it.

[It says Geumnam-ro! Is that Lotte Department Store over there?]

With the internet down, that little bit of information wasn’t enough to pinpoint the exact location.

But that wasn’t a problem.

The boundary of this world had already been identified.

‘A little over a 4km radius centered around Gwangju.’

That was Team 1’s achievement.

Not only had they determined the extent of the Otherworld’s influence, but they were also already in the process of constructing a forward base near the boundary.

With ten retainers stationed there, construction efficiency had been boosted to 300%, so it wouldn’t take too long.

Park Sae-rom, who had been diligently recording footage of the nearby buildings, cautiously switched to selfie mode and spoke.

[……Should we try going inside that mist? That’s what we’re supposed to do, right?]

Then, the video ended.

After reviewing the entire footage, I immediately pressed the record button and gave a brief instruction.

“There’s no need for that. Now, just meet up with Song Tae-young’s survivors and wait for the rescue.”

There was no longer any reason to take unnecessary risks, now that the boundary of the Otherworld had been identified from the outside.

But there was one thing I was curious about.

“Can you answer this quickly? How many hours has it been since you arrived there, Sae-rom? Please reply as soon as possible.”

With those final words, I stopped the recording and stored the phone in my inventory.
