[Title: I Say with Confidence—3 Is the Most Perfect Number]
Ranked 3rd at 16 years old.
Three S-ranks in one guild.
And me—Kim Heonboong, age 33...
Hyeonak, I’m waiting for your call. I check my inbox every 3 minutes.

– Bro you’re still two months away from 33 lol
Don’t ruin the vibe.
– Fact: If you used the time checking your inbox every 3 minutes to grind levels, you’d have a better chance of being scouted.
That fact physically hurts. Are you S-rank too, you bastard?
[Title: [Life Hack] Hyeonak’s Rise Began with Her]

On Jurim? Gidan? Shin Nayun?
Nah. The Hyeonak era started with God-Guru.
Timeline:
God-Guru joins → Gidan hits Rank 3 → Nayun becomes S-rank.
Admit it: she kicked off the new age.

– Was she adopted or recruited?
– Who even is Guru?
She’s On Jurim’s adopted daughter. Also, she’s adorable.

Okay yeah, she’s cute.

Where are people getting all these pics?
Hyeonak’s lounge page and Nayun’s socials—people are farming Guru photos like crazy.
She’s adorable. Is she mixed?
Is this what they call “squishy-core” now?
Delete my baby’s pictures while I’m still being nice.
Why should I? Are you Guru’s dad or something?
Sir, if it’s not too much to ask, may I respectfully suck your toes?
What the hell is wrong with you. That is extremely not okay 😂
GAY KING
After visiting the studio with Guru, Shin Nayun was officially certified as S-rank.
Her rise to S-rank gave another huge boost to Hyeonak’s already insane momentum.
Things had been loud and chaotic, a string of unexpected events...
And at that very moment, On Jurim found himself in a crisis no one could’ve predicted—possibly the # Nоvеlight # greatest of his life.
He stared down, hoping he had misheard.
A tiny child was looking right up at him.
Guru asked again, calm but relentless:
“Guildmaster, how are babies made?”
Unfortunately, his ears—and mind—were working perfectly fine. That was indeed what she had said earlier.
“Uh...”
“I tried searching on my phone,” Guru said, pulling out her kid’s phone.
Jurim snatched it immediately.
CRACK!
The kid’s phone snapped in half in his hand with a loud crunch.
What the hell?!
Guru stared at him with utter betrayal in her eyes.
But Jurim, moving slowly and with suspicious calm, as if none of this was his fault, just said,
“Oh no, it broke. Wanna go buy a new one?”
Actually... that might be a good thing.
Kid phones only did basic stuff, and they were really slow. She hated using it.
“Yes!”
They were going to get a new phone... but still—
“But Guildmaster, you don’t know either?”
Guru wasn’t giving up on her answer that easily.
Jurim pressed his lips together. An odd silence settled over the room.
Those big, innocent-looking round eyes felt oddly merciless today.
Should he just say he didn’t know?
But this was Guru.
Considering this four-year-old’s terrifying tech skills and how aggressively curious she could be... she might end up getting some very weird answers from the internet.
It might actually be better to address the sensitive question directly.
Not that he had any idea what to say.
This was when the wisdom of online parenting forums would’ve come in handy.
“Well, it’s...”
Just then, the door to the guildmaster’s office swung open.
“Hey! The PR team said I should film a vlog here—wait, Guru, didn’t you go to preschool today?”
It was Gidan.
“I did. I came back.”
“Already?”
Gidan grinned and walked up to Guru.
“Wanna film the vlog with me? We’re teammates, after all.”
“Dani, you’re here?”
Jurim—who had never greeted Gidan with warmth before—smiled at him like he was a long-lost brother.
Gidan flinched, visibly alarmed by Jurim’s sudden shift in demeanor.
“Hyung...? Are you okay?”
“Unfortunately, yes. Perfectly sane.”
Jurim nodded at Guru, then pointed at Gidan.
“Dani-oppa will tell you.”
“Wait—tell me what?”
Does Dani-oppa know the answer?
Gidan blinked, looking back and forth between them, completely lost.
“Dani-oppa, how are babies made?”
Gidan and Jurim sat next to each other on the couch in total silence, both staring at the floor.
The guildmaster’s office was thick with a silence so awkward, no one dared break it.
Sluuuurp!
Guru sipped her strawberry milk through a straw, the sound oddly loud in the stillness. The secretary had brought it for her earlier.
Gidan whispered, barely moving his lips.
“...Hyung, I’m a minor.”
“Oh, but only when it’s convenient, huh?”
“Exactly. Being able to flip that switch is the privilege of being a minor.”
“You got sex ed in school, didn’t you?”
“You know I barely go to school.”
“Then at least turn on Zoom.”
“Who does sex ed over Zoom?!”
Gidan finally raised his voice—but just then, the door to the guildmaster’s office opened again.
“Guildmaster, about the group interview NBC requested... it overlaps with my solo schedule, so—wait, what are you two doing?”
Nayun blinked in confusion when she spotted the two of them.
Gidan and Jurim sitting side by side on the couch? Definitely weird.
Normally, Jurim would be passed out or scolding Gidan with his feet on the desk, and Gidan would either be kneeling or napping next to him. This was not their usual scene.
That’s when Gidan quickly pointed at Nayun.
“N-Nayun noona will explain!”
“Huh? Explain what?”
There’s no way they’d ask me to explain anything, Nayun thought. She was self-aware enough to know how that sounded.
Guru, now finished with her strawberry milk, spoke up.
“Nuna, how are babies made?”
After hearing the full story, Nayun plopped down next to them on the couch and clapped her hands.
“That’s it? That’s what this is all about?”
Her reaction was bright and breezy.
That response made Jurim even more anxious, but Gidan let out a breath of relief, smiling.
“Knew we could count on Nayun noona.”
“Can we really?” Jurim muttered, unconvinced.
Gidan leaned closer and whispered, “I heard Nayun noona has like five nieces and nephews. She’s probably got the experience.”
“Is that so...”
Jurim rested his chin in his hand, staring warily at Nayun.
“You know the answer?”
“Of course!” she said, beaming.
“Guru, babies are made when a man and a woman lie in bed toge—”
“NOPE!”
Gidan yelped and cut her off.
Jurim, face contorted, buried his face in both hands.
I’m getting dizzy.
“Mrmph! Mmmph!”
Gidan had somehow acquired a roll of blue duct tape and slapped it over Nayun’s mouth.
Nayun struggled like someone deeply betrayed, completely baffled as to why she was being silenced like this.
But to prevent her from casting a devastating mental debuff on Guru, she had to be sealed.
And so, on the couch sat Nayun, Gidan, and Jurim—side by side.
“Mmmph mmph.”
Another round of awkward silence began to stretch between them. Well—one of them was gagged against her will, so her silence didn’t really count.
“Mmmph! MMMMMMMPH!”
What was so catastrophic about explaining how babies were made?
Guru stared at the three of them with her usual blank expression, sipping at the last of her strawberry milk.
And the real reason this whole disaster began... was because of Shakipiyo’s egg.
The egg Guru had extracted using her Grabber was not only a unique lifeform with special powers—it also came with a surprising reward the day they successfully completed the quest with Nayun.
A big dump of Filial Piety Points.
Which triggered the following message:
[You can accelerate the hatching process using Filial Piety Points.]
[Would you like to use them?]
Is there anything this Filial Piety stuff can’t do? Guru thought.
Maybe this is why adults always tell you to be nice to your elders.
If only you could buy a house with Filial Piety Points too...
But Guru didn’t know whether the points themselves were omnipotent—or if this particular egg was just that bizarre.
So she started wondering...
What even is this egg? Where did it come from? What kind of creature...?
And from there, her thoughts spiraled into:
Life. Origins. Earth. Creation. The universe. Which came first, the chicken or the egg...?
And finally—
But how are babies actually made?
That’s how she landed at the question that broke three grown adults.
“Guildmaster, Dani and Team Lead Shin are both missing, and I was told to ask you where they—huh?”
The next unlucky arrival was Yun Seojun.
On the couch sat Nayun, Gidan, and Jurim.
Across from them, Guru sat alone—watching them intently.
All of their gazes turned to Seojun at once.
He froze with a polite smile that quickly turned into full-body paralysis.
