Death Delayed for a Short Time Because of the Will

Ongoing | Shaolin | 2022 released

Chapter 36 --- Loving it. So it's one of those "ranker" stories with game mechanics not unlike S Classes and ORV, except this one has actual BL, apparently? From what I'm getting, I'm assuming the BL will be on the backburner, but I'm not complaining---premise is interesting. Dude lives a chill life, having effectively disappeared from the public eye following his party's defeat of a dungeon that had threatened to destroy the world. He spends day-to-day life imposing mundane barrier spells, hanging out with those in his small guild, fulfilling the wishes of those who had died, doing numerous small hobbies, etc. While haunted by the past, he's determined to live a normal life. Unfortunately, lots of people want to know the Korean guy who managed to survive the event. One of these groups are pretty influential, and he ends up getting caught into their schemes. --- Read chapter 15. MC's backstory is compelling. The dungeon game mechanics seem interested (especially the aspect about Gaia?). I'm also intrigued by the emphasis on the "stat viewing inbox" thing. It's only accessible by those with skills---you can cloak your stats and they'll seem innocuous so long as the person looking at them doesn't have a high level "skill viewer" ability. The chemistry of the main pair is also interesting to me. They've hardly interacted at this point, but I can see the potential. Also, I love me a MC that wants nothing more than to retire after having lived life as a hero. Love this trope.
