Her experiences had been limited to being captured by men who nearly assaulted her, encountering zombies, and being sent directly to the mines by those who burned the undead.

The men who tried to violate her, the zombies, and the guards who treated her like livestock—they were anything but ordinary.

She had never seen such a place with her own eyes, so she hadn’t dared to dream of it.

To Heesoo, a mine free of zombies and thieves was the only place she could breathe.

With a radiant smile, Minjoo pulled a treasure from deep within her undergarments.

“I never had a chance to really look at this while I was in the mines.”

A pendant, with shades of blue and red blending mysteriously together, shimmered in a hue that wasn’t quite purple.

Heesoo recognized it immediately—it was a magic stone necklace.
