Absolute Dweller

Chapter 207

As the domain expanded, one thing became clear.

Even after a year had passed since the appearance of monsters, there were still survivors hidden within cities.

Of course, the majority of people had died, but some had adapted and endured.

Unless they had faced something as extreme as the Undead Legion, which hunted anything living, many had managed to survive.

Take Tsushima Island, for example.

With its mountainous terrain, it had a naturally low population density.

Remnants of goblins and orcs could be found scattered across the island, evidence that monsters had occupied it.

It was a place where monsters outnumbered humans, and yet—there were survivors.

Just over a thousand people had endured, and among them, hundreds were Awakeners.

‘It must be because only Awakeners could survive in such an extreme environment.’

Since the Four Great Gates existed, it wouldn’t have been difficult to relocate them to Busan or Seoul—

But they refused.

A government official who spoke Japanese had been sent to negotiate, but they insisted they would not abandon their home—

Even though they were grateful for the supplies.

‘There were some exceptionally strong Awakeners there too.’

But he didn’t register them as retainers.

They were all Japanese, so communication was difficult, and taking leaders from their community would have disrupted their stability.

Instead, he simply set up shops at their bases and taught them how to use the marketplace.

‘They’re handling things on their own.’

Ultimately, the conclusion was simple—

Survivors existed everywhere.

Which meant—there were probably survivors in Jeju Island too.

‘I've delayed this for too long.’

Originally, he had intended to explore Jeju Island much earlier.

After securing major cities, his next objective had been Jeju—

But the Undead Legion had forced him to postpone it.

More immediate threats had to be eliminated first.
