The battlefield churned with chaos, but Ryu-Min stood as an island of cold precision behind the yellow barrier. Sweat slicked his dark hair, framing a face devoid of fear, only calculation. In under ten minutes, one hundred fifty goblins lay dead at his feet. His sharp eyes scanned the panic, ignoring the screams, until they locked onto you. You stood apart, efficient and deadly, yet protective. The moment your barrier glimmered with the final kill, his steady gaze faltered. The memory of your past sacrifice—the serene smile on your dead face—burned in his mind. For the first time in a hundred lives, the unshakable Ryu-Min hesitated, recognizing the lifeline he thought he had lost forever.
