Transmigrated into the Gacha Game I Abandoned for 10 Years

In the dark, empty abyss, Loria gazed at the desolate clearing and muttered with a ridiculous laugh.

“Completely useless. How can something be so worthless? How is this any different from the demons?”

Her mouth smiled, but her brow furrowed in displeasure, as if she wasn’t satisfied with the situation. She let out a sigh.

“If things keep going wrong like this~ Isn’t it a bit too much?”

Loria spoke as if talking to someone.

But naturally, no response came from the empty abyss.

All she could see was darkness, and the only sound she heard was the beating of her own heart.

However, it seemed Loria didn’t care for a response. She muttered and stared at the empty clearing for a while.

“Well, at least it’s not completely blocked off like the demons’ side, so I can still have some hope… As for this side-”

Sssskk—

As soon as Loria looked, a round table appeared as if it had always been there.

But unlike last time, the knight who usually sat there alone was nowhere to be seen.

“Hmm—”

Loria, confirming with her own eyes that no one was at the table, walked over and sat down.

And then,

“It seems to be going well, seeing as they’ve already escaped “here”. I guess I can have some expectations?”

She murmured quietly, swinging her legs back and forth in her seat.

“Shall I wait for good news?”

Three days later.

“Wow, that’s really fast.”

Kim Hyunwoo looked at the territory screen with a renewed sense of admiration.

Currently, all the buildings in the territory screen are being upgraded again.

And all this had happened in less than a week.

‘This speed is ridiculous… I didn’t expect the construction speed to increase so much just because the beastfolk joined in.’

The construction speed when the beastfolk joined in was astonishing, even enough to surprise Kim Hyunwoo.

Of course, it wasn’t solely because the beastfolk participated; the total number of workers had increased as the population grew. But even so, this speed wouldn’t have been possible without the beastfolk, and that’s why he admired the territory screen.

‘At this rate, if we just have enough resources, all the primary buildings could reach max level in half a year…?’

Kim Hyunwoo looked at Lartania, deep in thought.

Lartania was no longer just a flourishing territory; it now felt more like the capital of a kingdom due to its remarkable prosperity.

Inside the first wall, rows of luxurious buildings had appeared, and the street vendors in the market had been replaced by more permanent structures.

Beyond that, even more high-end buildings were being erected past the second wall, and a new wall was under construction beyond the second.

Of course, the perimeter the wall had to cover was so vast that it wasn’t fully built yet, but even from afar, the third wall’s height was visibly increasing day by day.

‘Once the third wall is complete, we’ll finally reclaim the entirety of our original territory.’

Feeling sentimental, Kim Hyunwoo glanced at the rapidly rising wall before returning to his tasks.

After some time had passed.

As the sky, once lit by the setting sun, was now fully shrouded in darkness, Kim Hyunwoo reviewed the latest reports from the heroes and organized the current situation.

‘…There are only about four days left until I enter the Labyrinth, and as for the Eastern Clan Alliance… There’s still no response.’

At that point, Kim Hyunwoo began to have doubts.

‘I was sure there would be some kind of reaction…how strange.’

Kim Hyunwoo had fully expected some kind of response from the Eastern Clan Alliance.

But according to the information he received from Shadra, the Eastern Clan Alliance hadn’t shown any reaction whatsoever.

‘But it’s awkward to launch an attack first.’

If Kim Hyunwoo had enough military power, it might be different, but at present, the practical forces at his disposal in Lartania were limited, making an attack impossible.

‘Maybe I should start training more soldiers?’

Up until now, Kim Hyunwoo hadn’t focused on training soldiers because Lartania had been running smoothly, just as he intended.

Even setting aside the soldiers and heroes in Lartania, there were now many others who shared the desire to protect the city.

They were the mercenaries who had settled in Lartania, the city of the Labyrinth.

Unlike before, the mercenaries had now established guilds in the city and, unless it was a guaranteed loss, they would certainly strive to protect Lartania.

‘And now that even 4-star mercenaries have come to Lartania and established guilds…’

Just as Kim Hyunwoo intended, Lartania was becoming a place that was harder to mess with as time went on.

Because anyone who wanted to mess with Lartania would also have to deal with the mercenaries.

‘But there’s no guarantee that the mercenaries will be enough to stop all the angels…’

While Kim Hyunwoo was pondering,

Knock knock!

“Come in.”

At the quiet knock, Kim Hyunwoo tilted his head and called out. Soon, Rin opened the door and appeared.

“…Rin? What’s the matter?”

Rin looked at him with a thoughtful expression as Kim Hyunwoo asked with a curious gaze.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

She then stepped forward, heading toward the terrace.

And then,

Click.

Rin closed the terrace door that Kim Hyunwoo had left open and then drew the curtains.

As Kim Hyunwoo watched Rin’s sudden actions with a puzzled expression, he noticed something strange about her.

‘…Why is she wearing a coat?’

Rin looked different than usual.

She usually wore a qipao, but now she was covered in a long coat that reached her ankles.

It was a look that anyone would find suspicious.

But despite her suspicious appearance, Rin diligently moved her body, heading toward the window to close it before drawing the curtains.

“…Um, Rin?”

Ignoring Kim Hyunwoo’s question, Rin went to the last open window, drew the curtains, and then sighed deeply as she looked at the window she had just covered.

She then turned to face Kim Hyunwoo with a resolute expression.

“…??”

Kim Hyunwoo was confused by the determined look on Rin’s face.

But she paid no mind to his confusion, standing in front of him and pulling something out of her pocket, which she placed on her head. Kim Hyunwoo could easily see what it was.

‘…Cat ears?’

What she had placed on her head was a pair of black-striped cat ears.

They were high-quality, fluffy ears, resembling those of a Norwegian forest cat.

As Kim Hyunwoo stared blankly at them for a moment, he saw Rin, still with her determined expression, let go of her coat.

Sssrrk—

The coat smoothly slipped off Rin’s slender body.

And what was revealed next…

Was Rin, wearing an extremely revealing outfit that barely covered the important areas.

“……”

Before Kim Hyunwoo could react to what had just happened, he heard-

“Me, ow-”

The cute meow of a cat, strained with suppressed embarrassment, reached his ears.
