I stared at Loki while taking a deep breath. I can't make any stupid moves here, but what should I say? I know I can't lie to her, so if I just tell the truth, she'll know I'm not lying.
I have to be honest.
"I don't remember anything that happened before I woke up in that bed. I just woke up there without understanding what was going on," I told her, looking straight into her eyes without looking away.
Loki partially opened her eyes and then let out a long sigh.
"This problem is bigger than I expected. Did you hit your head or something?"
"When you found me, how badly injured was I?" I asked, wanting to get an idea.
After a few seconds, she began to speak.
"Your right arm had been torn off. Your body was in terrible condition. I used a high-level healing potion on you, but even that wasn't enough. I managed to put your arm back in place, but you didn't wake up for almost three months."
"A high-level healing potion? So things like that really exist."
"..." Loki looked at me suspiciously.
"Did you really forget everything? You don't even know your own name?"
"My name is Yeo Woon. I don't remember where I came from," I said while looking directly into her eyes.
After a few seconds of deadly silence, Loki looked at Finn behind me, and suddenly his knife moved toward my neck. My whole body trembled for a moment.
"Don't lie to me. Where did you come from?"
"Alright, alright. I came from a distant place. I don't know how to explain it to you. I really don't remember anything that happened inside the Dungeon, I promise," I explained immediately.
"A distant place? A city? A village? What's the name of this place?"
"It's somewhere you probably don't know. It's called New York."
"New York?" Loki placed her hand on her chin and started thinking.
"I've never heard of a place like that. Is it a village somewhere near Orario? If it were, I should know about it."
"It's not near Orario. It's very, very far away. Believe me, I don't remember anything beyond that. My name is Yeo Woon, and I'm not even one of those so-called adventurers."
I was starting to get very nervous because Finn still had his knife against my neck, but I calmed down after Loki nodded and the knife was removed.
I sighed and looked at Loki again.
After thinking for a moment about what she had just heard, she said,
"I can't let you leave my sight."
When I heard her words, I was shocked. What does she mean by that?
"You'll have to stay here until you remember what happened. Finn, get a room ready for him, even if it's some old storage room somewhere. Also, tell that maid to take care of him."
"Alright, I'll do that. Let's go."
Finn grabbed my arm and pulled me along. He was stronger than I expected. Besides, I have almost no strength in my body right now.
I was dragged along like a piece of paper.
But before leaving, I said,
"Wait. Tell me what happened. You found me, right? I at least want to know where I was."
"30th floor of the Dungeon. That's where you and all the dead members of my Familia were."
"30th floor?"
My eyes widened.
How did I end up in a place like that? It doesn't make any sense. My body is basically that of a normal human.
I'm not even part of a Familia.
I don't have a Falna.
So why would I be together with members of the Loki Familia?
"You understand the situation," Loki said.
"Why was an ordinary human like you on the 30th floor of the Dungeon with members of my Familia? And why were they all dead? Aren't you curious too?"
"..."
"If you're curious, then you'll have to remember what happened to find out. Finn, take him."
"Wait, wait a second! You can't keep me imprisoned here. I'm not part of the Loki Familia. Even if I was found together with your members, I have no connection with you!"
"Do you want to die?"
"..."
"You'd better stay quiet and follow my orders. Understood?"
I lowered my head and clenched my fists.
Inside my mind, I said,
'Nano, create an exercise plan to strengthen my body. Also analyze the surrounding environment and find a way for me to escape this place.'
[Host request confirmed.]
[During the movement from the second-floor room to the Loki Familia main hall, this unit conducted continuous environmental scans and recorded all routes, corridors, stairs, entrances, and potential exit points.]
[A partial structural map of the base has been stored in system memory for future analysis and escape route calculations.]
[Simultaneously, an initial physical strengthening program has been created to compensate for the host's current state of weakness after the coma and loss of body mass.]
[The routine includes daily progressive muscle strengthening exercises, breathing control, joint mobility training, and endurance exercises designed to be performed even in restricted spaces.]
'Nano, sometimes you talk too much. You should be more direct. Use shorter messages next time.'
Nano didn't say anything, and I continued being dragged by Finn.
He took me back to the second floor, and soon we arrived at a door at the end of the hallway.
When the door opened, there was a small and run-down room inside.
Why is there a room like this inside such a luxurious mansion? I have no idea.
After throwing me inside the room, Finn said,
"You'll live here for now. You'll receive proper meals in the morning, afternoon, and night. Focus on recovering."
After saying that, he locked the door.
What the hell?
I didn't know the Loki Familia was like this.
'Well… I'm 'involved' in the deaths of many members of their Familia.'
What a headache.
"I guess I should take a look at the training routine Nano created and start right away. But before that, Nano, can you show me my current attributes? Or is that impossible?"
[Host Status — Initial Evaluation]
Due to the prolonged coma, severe loss of body mass, and recent recovery from critical injuries, the host's current physical parameters are below the average human standard.

"I told you to not speak too much, idiot."
