THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM A Glimpse of Victory
Thenma’s eyes fluttered open, his head heavy as if weighed down by a thousand thoughts. Bright, sterile lights illuminated the room, and the distant hum of machinery filled the silence. The faint beeping of a heart monitor confirmed he was in a hospital.He tried to sit up, but his body protested. Pain radiated from his shoulder and torso, forcing him to settle back against the pillow. His mind raced as he struggled to piece together the events that led him here.Then it hit him—the warehouse, the fire, Julian.The memory of their brutal fight resurfaced, and a wave of satisfaction washed over him. He recalled Julian’s screams, the look of desperation on his face as Thenma delivered the final blow. For the first time in a long while, Thenma felt victorious.One of them.

THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Adeline Is Awake
The hallway stretched before Thenma, sterile and dimly lit, each step echoing softly against the polished floor. His shoulder throbbed with every movement, the pain radiating through his body like a relentless reminder of the fight he had barely survived. His legs felt heavy, his breaths labored, but none of it mattered. Not now. Not when Adeline was finally awake.His fingers gripped the wall for support as he paused to steady himself, his mind racing with a mix of anticipation and relief. He pushed forward again, determined. The thought of seeing her after all these months fueled him, dulled the pain, and gave him the strength to continue.Finally, he reached the door. The plaque outside read ICU Room 14. Thenma hesitated for a brief moment, his heart pounding against his ribcage.

THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM No Face, No Shame
Thenma was taken aback by the sudden arrival of Penelope and Kato. They stood at the doorway, looking at him and Adeline with smug smiles. Their presence exuded an oppressive threat-if not for him, then it was undoubtedly magnified for Adeline.Holding a beautiful bouquet of flowers, Penelope stepped forward. "Sorry it took me so long to visit you, Adeline. I didn't think you'd go to such extremes. But because of that, I see now-you've learned our lesson well."Adeline froze, her face pale, her eyes wide with fear. The usually brave Adeline now looked like a drenched, helpless chick. Thenma grabbed Penelope and pulled her aside, his gaze burning with anger."How dare you... Have you no shame?" His voice was laced with menace and hatred. He couldn't believe Penelope and Kato had the audacity to show their faces in front of Adeline-the very reason she was in this state.But Penelope, unbothered, brushed his hand off."I'm just checking in, damn it. Why are you being such a pain? Kato br

"What do you mean?" Thenma asked, and Katarina answered easily."I’m going to help you with your mission… accompany you? Assist you? I see it as paying you back."Thenma stayed silent for a moment, making Katarina think he was considering it, but then he replied, "No."Katarina frowned in confusion. "No…?""You don’t need to do anything to help me. You know that," Thenma said, glancing at Katarina’s arm, which was wrapped in thick bandages. "This journey is extremely dangerous. I won’t let anyone end up like Adeline just because they tried to help me.""But you’ve already helped me. You freed me from sleepless nights filled with anxiety. I can’t just let you go empty-handed."Thenma looked at Katarina, his cold, faint smile a silent plea for her to understand. "You’ve already helped me," he said. "Getting your father to cooperate with me is more than enough. Or… was that a lie?"Katarina quickly shook her head. "No. My father swore to me he’d help you."Thenma chuckled. He’d only been

But Thenma ignored everyone who told him to rest.He didn’t deny that he still felt pain, especially around the wound from the stabbing.

THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Gingerbread Recipe
Thenma stood in the middle of the chaos, wearing a plain black apron over his casual clothes, his hands dusted with flour. He leaned against the counter, staring at the latest batch of gingerbread cookies cooling on a rack. They looked perfect—golden brown with a crisp edge and soft center—but when he bit into one, his expression soured.“Still not right,” he muttered, tossing the half-eaten cookie into the trash.The taste wasn’t bad—far from it. But it wasn’t her gingerbread. No matter how many times he adjusted the spices or changed the baking time, the result felt hollow. He rested his head on his flour-dusted hands, letting out a groan.The scent of cinnamon and nutmeg brought Thenma back to a simpler time—a cold winter night in their cramped, run-down apartment. Their mother, Mary, stood by the tiny oven, her apron frayed at the edges. She was humming softly, her hair falling in loose strands from the bun she always wore.“Mom, can we help?” young Adeline asked, her voice full o

The kitchen was a mess. Flour dusted every surface, bowls and spoons piled high in the sink, and the warm scent of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger lingered heavily in the air. But amidst the chaos, there was triumph.For the first time since he’d started this maddening quest, the cookies tasted like Mary’s. Thanks to Katarina who added a secret ingredient and finally Thenma discovered the 'magic' his mom used to add into her gingerbread. Also thanks that he let Katarina stuck around. Thenma would finally be relief and took Adeline home with his wish on while Katarina was left in the apartment after she said she would take care of the room before Adeline arrived.The following morning, Thenma stood outside the hospital, waiting for Adeline. His breath clouded the crisp winter air, but his spirits were high. He clutched a thermos of coffee in one hand, already picturing Adeline’s face when she tasted the gingerbread cookies. It had been too long since he’d seen her smile.When she finally

The next day, Thenma made good on his word. He headed straight to the store building he bought for his soon-to-be bakery store. But with the paper in his hand, he made a time to look across the street. He glancing at the paper once more. "So this is the place," he murmured.Katarina, walking beside him while looking at the building, now tilted her head as she tried to saw the paper. "What exactly is this event about?""A campaign staff handed me the flyer," Thenma replied casually. "Said I should join."Katarina frowned. "That doesn’t explain much. What kind of campaign?""Guess we’ll find out," he said with a shrug, his tone nonchalant.Katarina sighed but changed the topic. "By the way, about your sudden idea to open a bakery… You didn’t strike me as the kind of person to jump into that line of work.""Why not?" Thenma asked, glancing at her with a faint smirk.

[ARC QUEST: Julian Corbin] The Quest Completed
The warehouse was an inferno, the air thick with smoke and heat as the fire consumed everything in its path. Thenma's body trembled, his blood pooling on the floor beneath him. His vision blurred as his consciousness wavered, the knife embedded in his shoulder burning like molten steel.[WARNING: Life-threatening injury detected. Immediate action required.][Purchase defensive weapon (20 points)?][Activate self-healing mode (10 points)?]But Thenma's fading consciousness made it impossible to focus. His trembling gaze looking over the options as the panel glitched, the words distorting and disappearing before he could make a choice.No, not now... I can't lose here...Suddenly, a loud crack echoed through the warehouse. Julian staggered, clutching his head as a wooden stick struck him from behind. His eyes widened in pain and confusion, his grip on the knife loosening."What the—" Julian hissed, stumbling backward.Thenma blinked through the haze of pain, his gaze locking onto Katari
