Chapter 69: Love Has No Bounds: Dryad Edition



"What\'s going on here?"

As he remembered more details about his fight, his hand moved toward the shoulder where the ghoul\'s tail had hit him. The wound had long since been healed and only a faint scar remained.

How is this possible—?

YuWon thought, but stopped upon noticing something else. He had an overgrown beard, thick, but it wasn\'t unkempt. Even his hair felt as if someone had recently washed it. But his focus was on the beard. How long had he been unconscious for it to grow so much?

Just then, the rustling of the leaves caught his attention, and he jumped up, curling his fists for a fight.

"Please, savior of the forest," a soft feminine voice echoed through the place. "I wish you no harm. If I had any ill will for you, you would never wake in the living\'s world."

Suddenly, a figure stepped out of the trees. It was a woman, but she didn\'t look like any woman YuWon had ever seen. She was dressed in a gown made entirely of leaves and flowers.

The woman\'s waist-long black hair was decorated with garlands, and her skin was as white as snow, glowing in the sunlight. She looked like something out of a dream and the realization made YuWon pinch himself.

The woman chuckled and offered him her hand to see if she was real. But YuWon didn\'t want to, fearing his touch would ruin her delicate appearance.

"What—I mean... who are you?" he asked.

"I am called Lysandra, a forest dryad," Lysandra replied. "The protector and nurturer of this forest. And you are my savior."

YuWon raised an eyebrow, confused. How was he her savior when they were meeting for the first time? Lysandra noticed YuWon\'s gaze and smiled.

She continued, "You are my savior, as you freed me from that curse."

"What are you talking about?"

"The ghoul you fought... that was me. I was cursed after failing a quest long ago and trapped in this penalty zone." Lysandra replied. "Over time, the curse twisted me into that creature, and I lost myself."

Lysandra suddenly kneeled before him and looked at YuWon with the eyes of a devoted to their god. YuWon, uncomfortable with the display, tried to pull her back up, but she didn\'t budge. After a moment to gather herself, she continued.

"But when you defeated the ghoul, you broke the curse that bound me, and I was freed."

"How... is that even possible?" YuWon shook his head. "I\'m sure I killed that thing—"

"But you didn\'t receive any reward, did you, Savior?"

YuWon blinked, surprised. It was true he had received no rewards for killing the frenzied ghoul. Even the rewards he received for killing the other ghouls and minions were negligible.

"This is too confusing," YuWon said, shaking his head.

"You didn\'t receive a reward because what you killed wasn\'t a veritable monster," Lysandra explained. "The system doesn\'t reward you for killing a cursed creature. But it wouldn\'t ignore your accomplishments, either."

After saying so, Lysandra waved her hand, and a notification appeared before YuWon.

[You\'re the first to clear a Penalty Zone. Please accept the following reward.]

[Mythical Store Ticket x1]

Just then, the said ticket appeared in his hand. The moment he touched it, the Overseer\'s pendant told him about it.

[Item: Store Ticket]

[Grade: Mythical]

[Use: Can be used at any store to draw a mythical reward of the awakener\'s choice.]

YuWon\'s eyes widened. It was a great, but befitting reward. It wouldn\'t have been that great of a reward, but the option to select a mythical weapon of choice was overkill.

Finally... I might have a way to deal with Anna. That fucking regressor bitch.

Suddenly Lysandra\'s voice interrupted his thoughts.

"There\'s another reward for you, savior," she said, still kneeling in front of him. "According to the system\'s terms, since you have freed me from the curse... I am now yours, in body and soul."

"Woah, woah, woah, hold up a moment! I didn\'t sign up for this shit!" YuWon vehemently shook his head. "Besides, I already have a wife. If she saw me with someone else, she\'d have my head and probably yours too!"

YuWon\'s words did not bother Lysandra at all. In fact, when he mentioned a wife, her smile widened.

"There\'s nothing either of us can do about it, Savior," she said, raising her head. "As for your wife, you can keep her. I don\'t mind."

"...but she does!"

"She might be your wife, savior. But I am bonded to your soul. I\'m your soulmate. It\'s a bond that goes beyond any mortal relationship you could have with anyone else."

"You don\'t get it..." YuWon sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Soulmate or not, she will kill both of us—"

"I understand that this may come as a shock to you, but these are the system\'s rules," Lysandra replied, holding onto his hand. "I am bound to you. There\'s nothing anyone can do about it."

Before YuWon could object again, a series of familiar notifications flashed before his eyes.

[Achievement Unlocked!]

[Love has no bounds: Dryad edition.]

[Description: Form a romantic relationship with a Dryad.]

[Effect: Being around nature would slowly heal the Awakener of all wounds and curses. Creatures with a close relationship to nature won\'t show any hostility towards the Awakener.]

...I never had a choice, did I?

As YuWon sighed in defeat, another thought crossed his mind.

"Wait… how long have I been unconscious?"

Lysandra met his gaze with a hint of sadness and replied, "Two months."

"That\'s not long—" YuWon sighed, thinking he could still catch up to the regressor, but Lysandra spoiled his plans.

"Time flows differently in the penalty zone," she continued. "It has been two months here. But an entire year has passed in the real world."
