Volume 2
Level 2 Battle
The forest falls silent after the Expansion Clash, but the boy’s battle is far from over. As his cursed energy stabilizes, he realizes he has unknowingly reached Level 2, unlocking control—but at the cost of constant pain and flickering memories of his mother’s final moments.
Drawn by the lingering energy surge, Cursed Hunters arrive at the site, scanning the ruins left by the wolf’s destruction. Weakened and unable to fully suppress his aura, the boy is forced to flee, learning that every step he takes now feeds the curse within him.
As he escapes deeper into the unknown, whispers of a larger system surface: awakenings are monitored, levels are tracked, and those who awaken alone rarely survive. The chapter ends with the boy sensing another presence activating an Expansion Field nearby, signaling that his next clash will be against something far more dangerous than a wild curse.
