With the facility compromised by Suchan’s reconnaissance team, Pet Shop sends in someone to take out the Nest forces and remove all the evidence. The team gets split up - one half fights to rescue survivors and save them from feed training while Suchan takes on a deadly Antlion infused soldier who takes Suchan to the limits of his complexes. As the battered Nest students head back to the school, there's no rest for them as they have an Extra Credit assignment that exposes them to their weaknesses and forces them to overcome their toughest obstacle in order to pass their midterm assessments.

Humans have all but destroyed the world and now live in hiding. Creatures across the world hunt and eat humans as tasty treats. One day, a guardian forest spirit, himself towards the end of his life, discovers a human child alone in the woods bound and abandoned. Moved to kindness, the guardian golem determines to bring the poor creature to other humans, rather than leave it to the ravenous others lurking in the woods. Somali is filled with wonder and a passion for tasting lots of dishes that amuses the forest spirit and brings out a defensiveness they didn't know they had, and the two venture forth through the wild world in search of Somali's people.

Dokja and a few other survivors of the subway are immediately tasked with another seemingly impossible scenario to the entertainment of the constellations when the main character of the story, Junghyeok Yu, intrudes and begins interrogating Dokja and separating him from his fellows. Dokja takes the opportunity to negotiate with the Goblin running the whole thing and he uses several of his skills to make himself intriguing and invaluable. Then, Dokja finds himself in another area full of human survivors and realizes that the more he interferes with the happenings of the novel, the less likely he is to know what is going to happen next.

Penelope is framed for attempted regicide and put on trial for the events of the hunting tournament. Derrick visits her in prison and tries to suss out how to minimize the effects of the rumors, rather than believing that Penelope is innocent. She rebukes his offer of help and decides to go it alone at the trial. After the hunting tournament concludes, Penelope visits Eckles and raises his affection meter into a new game mode where none of the meters for any love interests are visible unless she pays absurd amounts of money or prestige points! With her birthday coming up and the potential end of hard mode or her life, Penelope decides to be more strategic with asking for gifts: money or assets in light of this new ridiculous ransom on seeing affection meters.

None other than the crown prince steps in to save her, but the two are beset by a crowd of assassins and must work together to evade them.

One day, Zet discovers a creature in the tallest tower, a creature with two different colored eyes.
