If I had wanted to do something bad to you, I would have left you in that tower basement along with the others, don’t you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan remarked while maintaining a gentle but steady pressure on her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled at her with that confidence he usually displayed when he had everything under control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Runa looked at him, searching for any sign of deception on his face, but she only saw the same pragmatic determination as always.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It wouldn’t make sense to save you only to kill you later. You are valuable to my plans, and I don’t waste my resources in that manner,\" Ryan added to drive his point home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Runa swallowed hard, catching her breath a little, though her voice still sounded shaky and filled with doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But that woman over there... she is a demon, isn’t she? A real one. That means that Liam is a fake name after all. You are Ryan, the most wanted man by the Church and nearly every other kingdom,\" the blacksmith interjected with a tone of utter disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan let out a brief, relaxed laugh, as if the fact that he was an international criminal were some kind of private joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha. If you put it that way, it almost sounds like the title of a video game,\" Ryan replied ironically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Runa frowned, completely confused by the word Ryan had just used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh? What is that? A video game? Is it some kind of spell?\" the dwarf asked while trying to process the information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing important, forget it. Just relax; like I said, no one here will hurt you. No outsiders will be coming in to bother us while we are in this place, either,\" Ryan assured her directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the hall, the training combat between Helen and Beatrice continued to resonate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metallic clashes were so fast that even Karol could barely follow them with her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan observed the scene for a few more seconds and then turned toward Karol, who was standing in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Karol, stay close to Runa. I don’t want her getting more scared than necessary if Beatrice decides to get too close. I am going to go see how the wyvern is doing,\" Ryan ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karol presided with a cynical smile and positioned herself beside the dwarf, who was still looking at the demon with suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan moved away from the group and walked straight toward the wyvern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive creature was resting near the stone pillars, but as soon as it felt its master’s presence, it lifted its head and shook the dust from its scales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster, which would be a nightmare for knights anywhere else, began to move playfully, almost like a puppy waiting for attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan stroked it under the neck, feeling the rough, hot texture of its skin. For a moment, the young man began to think about his journey in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he first arrived and learned of the existence of these legendary creatures, he was fascinated by the concept, but he never thought he would actually come to possess one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Though in reality, I stole it. It was a forced acquisition, but it has turned out to be more useful than I imagined,’ Ryan thought pragmatically while observing the beast’s wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, Ryan left the wyvern and approached the portal that marked the entrance and exit of the dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dimensional rift pulsed with violet and blue colors, distorting the space around it. He stood there quietly, watching the magical void through which they had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It really was a stroke of luck finding this dungeon. It’s the perfect place to hide without the Church sticking its nose in,’ he murmured to himself in a very low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered for an instant what would have happened if he had arrived in this world under other circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn’t had the bug with his skill, or if he had appeared in a city strictly controlled by the guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would probably be dead or locked in some magical prison by now. It was then that a loud cry charged with energy snapped him abruptly out of his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ryan, you’re back!\" shouted a female voice that echoed off all the stone walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned at the sound, though he didn’t need to look to know it was Helen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warrior had already finished her session with Beatrice and was running toward him with all the speed her legs would allow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she rushed forward, the rest of the group, including Beatrice, Karol, and Irina, came walking more calmly behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan couldn’t help but think that sometimes Helen’s attitude was too childish for someone who carried such a heavy and dangerous sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, that direct energy was one of the things he liked most about her. The young man smiled briefly, bracing himself for the encounter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helen was already very close and, instead of stopping or slowing down, she took a powerful leap toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her intention was clear: she wanted to tackle him or hang from his neck as she usually did whenever she was excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That idiot!\" was the last thing heard from Karol in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helen’s momentum was massive. The impact of her body against Ryan’s happened right at the edge of the dimensional rift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan didn’t have time to plant his feet properly, and the warrior’s weight, combined with the inertia of the jump, pushed him backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both crashed through the portal entrance violently before Ryan could react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh?\" Ryan exclaimed, stunned for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sensation of crossing the portal was instantaneous, and he realized they were in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both began to fall toward the void. Helen, far from being frightened by the free fall, kept him hugged with astonishing strength, laughing like a fool while the wind whipped through her hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This feels like déjà vu!’ Ryan thought as he tried to stabilize his body in the middle of the descent, as they plummeted through the clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from the distance, the forest floor began to come into view.\u003C\u002Fp>",1240,"2026-06-05T15:18:53.248Z",1,"novelbin.me","5b4eadabbe36ba6f2216f7f01268f7ea290fd1fec3731e38e6135227f9a17f7c","s-rank-harem-i-became-my-character-with-extra-co-chapter-105","s-rank-harem-i-became-my-character-with-extra-co-chapter-103",176,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fs-rank-harem-i-became-my-character-with-extra-co-cover.jpg"]
