Episode 62

 

-Did you just see that?

 

-What does complete conquest mean?

 

-It also said something about being healed, didn’t it?

 

-I’ve never seen the system say something like that before…

 

The system notification that suddenly appeared.

 

The moment a message about the complete conquest of the 15th Floor appeared to all Hunters.

 

People fell into complete chaos.

 

-This won’t do. I’m going to the 15th Floor myself to check it out.

 

-Are you insane? The Dimensional Management Office just told everyone to run away.

 

-It’s probably just some disaster alert or something lol I don’t believe that stuff.

 

-You’re crazy…

 

Hunters panicking at the unprecedented warning.

 

Even in the midst of this, several Hunters bravely went down to the 15th Floor of the Labyrinth first.

 

And.

 

-Crazy! I just went to the 15th Floor and it’s gone!

 

-You really were a crazy bastard. Why would a perfectly fine 15th Floor disappear?

 

-I’m telling you it’s true! The monsters and everything, they all completely vanished!

 

-What nonsense… I’ll have to go see for myself.

 

The new 15th Floor of the Labyrinth-

 

That is, the moment Lennon Village was discovered by other Hunters.

 

The Hunters couldn’t help but be shocked.

 

-The 15th Floor really is gone?

 

-I was right. A new village appeared instead of the 15th Floor!

 

-Why?!

 

-When I asked the people there, they said a Savior gave them the village?

 

-Savior? Who’s that? Is that a person’s name?

 

-I don’t know. They just kept repeating that.

 

When only one or two people said it, it was hard to believe.

 

But one after another, other Hunters arrived at Lennon Village.

 

And when hundreds of people had reached Lennon Village.

 

They realized.

 

That the story about the new Labyrinth village wasn’t a lie.

 

“W-was there originally a village here?”

 

-There was one before… But the current Lennon Village was all gifted to us by ‘that person’!

 

“Wh-who is that person?”

 

-The Savior! The Savior bestowed this village upon us!

 

“Savior? Is Savior someone’s name?”

 

-We don’t know that person’s real name… But we call that person the Savior. They gave us the village… And above all, they rescued us from our long suffering!

 

Hunters filled with curiosity.

 

They began grabbing the people of Lennon Village and asking what had happened.

 

However, the words coming from their mouths were identical, as if rehearsed.

 

Savior.

 

The Savior.

 

From the way they spoke, it clearly wasn’t about a god…

 

“Who could it be?”

 

“I don’t know who it is, but they’re definitely crazy. They actually erased the 15th Floor and created a village.”

 

“Is that even possible for a Hunter?”

 

“That’s ridiculous. Even the rank 1 person doesn’t have such an absurd ability.”

 

“If a real person… and just one person created this… Come on, it’s not like they’re a god, how could that be possible?”

 

“Or maybe it’s like a Quest? Some hidden something…”

 

Creating a village by oneself.

 

Saving hundreds of people.

 

The residents telling stories that would only appear in legends or myths.

 

And so the 15th Floor of the Labyrinth disappeared.

 

In the newly created Lennon Village.

 

Stories about the mysterious ‘Savior’ began spreading endlessly among the Hunters.

 

***

 

“I never thought it would turn out like this…”

 

Choi Hyun-min returned to his room.

 

He scratched his head awkwardly at his suddenly acquired village.

 

Aldea Village was already his.

 

And now Lennon Village had become Choi Hyun-min’s as well.

 

‘It’s not like I’m a conquering lord…’

 

He had just explored the Labyrinth from his room.

 

Yet he had instantly become a lord(?) with two villages.

 

‘More importantly… did Baldun know about this?’

 

Choi Hyun-min recalled what Baldun had said.

 

The story about the stealth potion.

 

Certainly, the Bone Dragon he had seen before arriving at Lennon Village.

 

Without the power of the stealth potion, it would have been an enormous threat to him and the Block Toys.

 

‘Maybe I wouldn’t be here right now.’

 

A being that jumps out of the screen.

 

Even thinking about it again made his spine tingle.

 

‘Who was that guy?’

 

The Bone Dragon.

 

Despite studying Hunters and monsters for ten years while stuck in his room.

 

It was a being he had never seen or heard of before.

 

Naturally, no such ability existed among the known Hunter abilities either.

 

‘I need to look into what kind of creature that Bone Dragon is… a bit more.’

 

But since it definitely came from within the Labyrinth.

 

There should be information about it somewhere.

 

Just as he was organizing his thoughts.

 

-Master!

 

“Hmm?”

 

-We’re now qualified!

 

Qualified?

 

Hans and the Musket Soldiers suddenly rushed over to him.

 

Beside them, Dehof was crossing his arms and nodding proudly.

 

“What qualification?”

 

Choi Hyun-min tilted his head.

 

At his reaction, Hans beat his chest as if frustrated.

 

-Soup! Since we conquered the 15th Floor, isn’t it time to eat soup!

 

Ah, that’s right.

 

He did seem to remember making such a promise.

 

“Got it. Wait a moment.”

 

And so Choi Hyun-min ordered three bowls of soup through Secretary Kim.

 

“Are you having three bowls again this time?”

 

“Ah, well, when I train, I get hungry easily…”

 

“I see! Another Hunter I know eats six bowls of rice a day, and that’s the only way training…!”

 

Leaving Secretary Kim’s speech behind.

 

He set down the bowl of soup he had received from him on the floor.

 

Thud.

 

Then the Block Toys swarmed over like ants as if they had been waiting.

 

-Finally, what we’ve been waiting for has come!

 

-Spoils belong to the victor! We’re the victors so we can eat it!

 

Even without opening the lid, the smell flowing out through the plastic bag.

 

No, perhaps it should be called an aroma.

 

Soup and pure white rice.

 

And freshly made cubed radish kimchi with just a slight greenish tinge.

 

The moment Choi Hyun-min reached to move the bowl with his hand.

 

-Oh! You shouldn’t mix rice into the soup!

 

-Even if you’re the Master, I can’t stand putting cubed radish kimchi juice in!

 

-This should be eaten right away while it’s hot!

 

-No, you should let it cool down a bit before eating!

 

They’re not even mother-in-laws…

 

The guys pouring out unsolicited advice.

 

“You’ve really become Korean.”

 

As soon as he let go, the guys began devouring the soup.

 

-Keuuu!!!

 

-Kyaa! This is real soup!

 

-I can feel the warmth all the way to my stomach!

 

-Soup eaten after finishing a maze conquest is the real deal! Everything else is fake!

 

Even amazing exclamations like ajusshis eating while sweating.

 

Maybe those guys were also Korean by birth, just different in appearance.

 

The Block Toys enthusiastically eating.

 

Choi Hyun-min left the guys alone for a while.

 

And quietly opened the creature management window.

 

‘The points have already accumulated this much?!’

 

The first thing that caught his eye was the remaining lord points.

 

There had definitely been quite a lot of expenses last time.

 

But this time, conquering the 15th Floor had accumulated an enormous amount of points.

 

‘Let me see… what I can use now…’

 

[Remaining Points: 1700]

 

He had used quite a lot of points.

 

But thanks to completely conquering the 15th Floor, he had gained an enormous amount of lord points.

 

‘With this much…’

 

It was an incredibly large amount.

 

But unfortunately, [Science Advancement 6] was impossible.

 

“3200 points just to upgrade one level?!”

 

It was because the point usage doubled with each upgrade.

 

Then what he could do now was…

 

[Domain Development 3]

 

[Cottage Industry]

 

Two things.

 

Come to think of it, both are things I need right now.

 

‘Domain development too. Especially cottage industry is a skill I really need right now.’

 

The adamantium purchased with Aldea’s taxes.

 

Normally, it would need to be handled by professional blacksmiths.

 

But Choi Hyun-min had no such intention.

 

‘If other blacksmiths handle it, rumors will definitely spread. That’s not good for me or Manwol.’

 

Sweet honey always attracts bugs.

 

The moment news spreads about making weapons with adamantium.

 

There would definitely be groups that would bother Manwol and Choi Hyun-min.

 

He planned to make Dehof’s weapon himself.

 

‘Domain development first.’

 

Currently domain development was level 2.

 

He spent 200 points to increase domain development to level 3.

 

[Developing your creature’s domain.]

 

[Consuming 200 lord points.]

 

Then something amazing happened.

 

There had definitely been ancient houses filling the area.

 

But they all collapsed, and new buildings began rising from underground.

 

Just like on the 15th Floor.

 

Rumble rumble rumble.

 

‘This… looks exactly like Medieval European houses.’

 

-Master gave us new houses!

 

-Later… let’s finish the soup first and then go look.

 

-Soup comes before houses for us.

 

Their houses had collapsed and new ones had appeared.

 

But the guys still had their faces buried in soup, not caring at all.

 

[The era has advanced, and your creatures feel comfort.]

 

[New descendants have been born.]

 

Meanwhile.

 

“Huh?”

 

More appeared.

 

New Block Toys.

 

Five toys that looked exactly like the Musket Soldiers.

 

As soon as the guys appeared here, they saluted toward Choi Hyun-min.

 

-Loyalty!

 

-We have received permission for new houses from Master!

 

-Thank you for giving us a place to live!

 

Ooh.

 

Last time when he upgraded one level, it seemed like two joined.

 

But this time it’s a whole five.

 

Now the Block Toys numbered twenty-six, excluding Dehof.

 

With this many, they could even conduct operations?

 

Numbers mean power.

 

Especially when they become stronger using science advancement.

 

It’s not just one person getting stronger, but all twenty-six getting stronger.

 

So increasing their numbers was also extremely important.

 

“Do you guys want to eat soup too?”

 

-Soup? Rice?

 

“There, that thing. You guys go eat too.”

 

-No way! We don’t have enough for ourselves!

 

-Eat quickly!

 

-Mine, that’s mine!

 

Choi Hyun-min introducing the newcomers to new civilization.

 

Before long, leaving the noisy guys behind.

 

Choi Hyun-min was lost in thought.

 

‘So now I have 1500 points left.’

 

I can’t use all of these up.

 

Since increasing science power provides the greatest help in enhancing combat strength.

 

To advance to the next level, I needed to save some points.

 

And this time.

 

‘To make weapons with adamantium, it would be better to invest points in cottage industry rather than domain development.’

 

The cottage industry skill was far more excellent than Choi Hyun-min had thought.

 

Just by combining materials, it created high-quality equipment.

 

And that cottage industry skill level was only level 1.

 

This time I’ll be using materials worth a whopping 1 billion won.

 

‘Should I upgrade several levels at once?’

 

Choi Hyun-min hesitated for a moment.

 

He immediately upgraded the cottage industry skill.

 

[Upgrading cottage industry.]

 

[100 Lord Points consumed.]

 

From level 1 to level 2.

 

But he didn’t stop there.

 

[Upgrading cottage industry.]

 

[Upgrading cottage industry.]

 

He upgraded three times in a row.

 

The points consumed alone were a whopping 600.

 

[Cottage industry has reached level 4.]

 

He had jumped three levels at once.

 

“…Did it work?”

 

Even so, there was no noticeable change.

 

Well.

 

After all, this is a manufacturing skill.

 

Until I actually make an item, there wouldn’t be any direct changes…

 

Just as he was thinking that.

 

Flash.

 

A brilliant white light burst forth before Choi Hyun-min’s eyes.

 

Beings he had never seen before quickly positioned themselves in front of him.

 

“Don’t tell me you guys are…”

 

Am I… dreaming right now?
