Memorize

Everyone remained silent. Park Dong-Gul's words had struck deep into everyone's hearts like a dagger. After moistening his lips with a bit of saliva, Park Dong-Gul continued speaking.

"I don't think faith is necessary when putting one's own life first. The kind of team I want is one where people can help each other and don't hold each other back. In other words, I want to be with people who are prepared with that kind of resolve."

"That's too… harsh."

Lee Bo-Rim's voice trembled as she spoke. However, it seemed she wasn't about to back down. Yet, An Hyun and the talkative woman, who had been keeping an eye on Park Dong-Gul, fell silent. Despair was evident on her face, but she quickly composed herself and spoke with a desperate expression.

"Feel free to call me selfish. It's all or nothing anyway. I'll make it clear: if it comes to it, I'll withdraw alone. It seems I've already made enemies here… Honestly, I'm not the only one fed up with your indecisive attitude, right? Even the young man with the crossbow was frustrated and decided to leave. You all should think things through a bit more."

"Are you joking? How do you know if something is useless or not without even trying?"

The talkative woman immediately countered, but her voice lacked conviction. Seeing this, Park Dong-Gul seized the moment and spoke with a smirk.

"'How do you know if you don't try'… Are you the one joking here?"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you realize that this is reality? What, are you carrying spare lives with you? This isn't a computer game where you can just reload a save. Get a grip! If we all rush out and someone makes a mistake…"

Park Dong-Gul paused for a moment, then raised his thumb and slid it across his throat to finish his sentence.

"We all die."

Park Dong-Gul's words had a significant impact, causing noticeable agitation on everyone's faces. Lee Bo-Rim stared blankly at the ground, and the talkative woman chewed her lips anxiously. Only the woman with the cold demeanor maintained her calm expression.

"And let's not get it twisted. I know you don't like me, and I'll apologize for my part in that. But let's not stir up trouble with empty words. I haven't said anything about abandoning anyone yet."

Seeing the reaction, Park Dong-Gul grinned wickedly and pounded his chest before shouting:

"Since we're on the topic, let's decide right now. If there are people who agree with me, come to my side. As long as you're resolute, you're welcome to join."

As his words ended, a tense atmosphere settled over the hill. Everyone was eyeing each other, swayed by Park Dong-Gul's influence. His words had skillfully played on the primal desire for survival, effectively unsettling the group.

The impact of Park Dong-Gul's words spread rapidly. An Hyun and An Sol were deep in thought, and even the talkative woman, who had been opposing him, was now hesitating. In contrast, the thug, casually tapping his neat iron rod, remained relaxed.

I didn't mind as long as An Hyun and An Sol didn't join. However, to be prepared for any scenario, I activated my third eye and focused on the talkative woman and another woman whose status I hadn't seen yet. I needed to assess their stats. My first target was the talkative woman, who was quite intriguing.

Name: Lee Yun Jung (0 Years)

Gender: Female (22)

Height · Weight: 166.3 cm · 51.7 kg

Alignment: Good · Neutral

[Strength 32] [Resistance 38] [Agility 50] [Vitality 30] [Magic Power 48] [Luck 46]

(Remaining stat points: 0)

"Hmm."

It seemed there was a reason behind her defiance towards Park Dong-Gul. Despite An Hyun and An Sol being exceptional, Lee Yun Jung's stats were impressive for an initial level, especially with high agility and Magic Power, offering both melee and magical paths. I decided to keep an eye on her. Next, I turned my third eye towards the other intriguing woman.

Name: Kim Han-Byeol (0 Years)

Gender: Female (21)

Height · Weight: 170.2 cm · 48.5 kg

Alignment: Lawful · Chaotic

[Strength 28] [Resistance 32] [Agility 46] [Vitality 24] [Magic Power 68] [Luck 40]

(Remaining stat points: 0)

Charisma (Rank: F Plus)

"Ugh."

I couldn't help but let out a gasp when I saw her unique ability.

'Charisma?'

The shock was similar to when I checked An Sol's stats. It became clear why Kim Han-Byeol reminded me of 'her'—because 'she' also had a talent for charisma.

I considered not looking, but shook my head to clear my thoughts. It was clear both Lee Yun Jung and Kim Han-Byeol were invaluable assets. The presence of An Hyun, An Sol, Lee Yun Jung, and Kim Han-Byeol, all surpassing average initial stats, raised doubts. Even if they were scattered, with these levels, more than half should survive.

I couldn't come to a conclusion no matter how much I thought about it. There were some possible inferences, but nothing I could be certain of. I decided to put those thoughts aside for now. I activated my third eye once more to observe the situation. Since I intended to take all four with me, there would be plenty of opportunities to monitor them later.
