Episode 38

Chapter 38: A Dungeon Inside the Black Gate? (1)

This Black Gate entry would be much more interesting than before.

It wasn’t that he was looking down on or ignoring Cheonseongmin’s party, but there was definitely a difference between having all three party members with F-rank traits and the current party.

Of course, that didn’t mean D-rank was an incredibly high-level trait.

Dohyun knew that well too.

But he couldn’t help feeling interested in the mention that this entry would put them on the verge of promotion to the E-rank Zone.

That meant they were in the upper ranks of the E-rank Zone, so he could gauge what level E-rank was through Park Insu’s status window. So Dohyun carefully examined Park Insu’s status window.

Then Park Insu’s detailed status window appeared.

‘Oh ho.’

The moment Dohyun was impressed, Analysis successfully did its job and several messages appeared.

‘What a windfall.’

Starting with a message that AP had increased, there were messages that he had absorbed Park Jinsu and Jeong Sangyun’s skills and their proficiency had increased.

Additionally, Swordsmanship and Mana Operation rose to D-rank, and Strength and Magic Power permanently increased by 3 each.

He had just tried to compare Park Insu’s stats with his own, but ended up gaining unexpected benefits.

Now if he compared them including the increased stats.

‘Hmm.’

Contrary to his expectations, there wasn’t much difference from his current state.

Perhaps he could get promoted from this E-rank Zone in one go too?

Well, that would be good for Dohyun, but setting that aside for now, Dohyun closed his status window, glanced over the upgraded Swordsmanship and Mana Operation, then looked at Park Insu’s remaining skill.

Great Sword Shockwave.

It wasn’t really a skill that suited Dohyun, who used longswords and short swords.

However.

‘Still, I should learn it for now.’

That way he could reach 30 in Strength too.

When Dohyun finished the handshake and looked at Park Insu, Park Insu felt the pressure emanating from Dohyun for a moment and spoke with genuine sincerity as he looked at Dohyun.

“We’ll do our best to match your pace. Please take care of us.”

Looking at the strong-featured Park Insu, Dohyun also nodded with satisfaction and replied.

“We should be the ones asking you to take care of us.”

After that, following brief introductions and greetings between the parties, Dohyun’s party and Park Insu’s party headed together to the designated Black Gate entry seats and waited for staff verification.

And not long after, Park Insu spoke.

“Then let’s enter.”

* * *

E-rank Hunter Park Insu was an Association-affiliated hunter, but he was quite an ambitious man.

Usually, those overflowing with such ambition would join guilds and live in luxury, but Park Insu was a bit different.

Han Muyeol, called the Iron Man.

‘I’ll become strong and become someone like the Association President.’

That was Park Insu’s ambition.

Becoming a man like Han Muyeol, who was both upright and powerful, wasn’t easy, but Park Insu had been training his best toward that goal.

As a result, while being Association-affiliated, he was on the verge of promotion from the E-rank Zone at quite a fast pace.

Though he hadn’t received his insignia yet and the stone tablet still showed E-rank, when he reached a level where it was hard to find opponents among E-ranks, he could judge that he would soon be able to promote to D-rank.

Because he was overflowing with that much pride and confidence, Dohyun’s party could be called.

He hadn’t heard any stories or matters he should keep in mind, but he could tell just by looking.

‘Their presence is different.’

Even what he felt from himself was like that.

He was momentarily overwhelmed by Dohyun’s pure gaze and eyes that held no hostility. He didn’t know what Park Insu had been intimidated by or overwhelmed by, but one thing was certain.

That person called Dohyun wasly strong.

So would they have asked Park Insu, a promising Association-affiliated hunter, to be their guide?

He wasn’t naive enough not to understand the underlying meaning, so Park Insu could tell that Dohyun was extraordinary.

However.

‘The two party members behind him are monsters too.’

He thought that while looking at Hanalin and Jiyuchan.

Neither of them showed much outward presence.

For a hunter of Park Insu’s level, gauging the skills of hunters weaker than himself was nothing, but even though Hanalin and Jiyuchan were clearly newcomers who had just risen to E-rank, he couldn’t sense that.

That meant they were excellent at hiding their magic power, and the better one could hide magic power, the more tremendous their magic power control was.

Everything was hinting that they were superior to Park Insu.

At this point, he couldn’t help but know.

‘What an incredible party.’

While thinking that the Association had created a monster party, Park Insu didn’t forget his role.

With this entry, Park Insu was on the verge of promotion, but anyway, his role now was to guide them.

He tried to fulfill that thoroughly.

Upon first entering the E-rank Zone, Dohyun’s party wasn’t greatly surprised, but they were frowning at the suddenly changed environment.

If Muel, which had been the F-rank Safe Zone village, was a place where wasteland spread out with somewhat sultry weather, this place had fierce winds blowing and clouds floating quite low.

The weather wasn’t very mild either, being chilly with cold air swirling around, and when Dohyun’s party quickly grasped this and looked around, only then could they realize.

The fact that the clouds weren’t floating low, but that this place itself was floating.

“This is Safe Zone Widia. It’s one of the safe zones located on the Floating Island Radon.”

The very existence of floating islands was bizarre, but despite knowing that villains were drawn to beginners, Dohyun’s party couldn’t help but gape at the fantastic scenery of other floating islands drifting around besides the floating island called Radon.

Who could have dared to even imagine they would be able to see such a fantastic sight?

Floating around the area, they could see some floating islands connected by flowing rivers, with massive streams of water cascading down as they drifted, and these water streams scattered light to create rainbows. Some giant floating islands were positioned at higher altitudes than other floating islands and were covered in clouds.

Most of all, they could see various winged animals weaving between those floating islands, including fish and even creatures similar to winged horses and Pegasus that could only be seen in mythology.

Unable to help but admire the fantastic scenery, Dohyun’s party was gulping and looking around when Park Insu nodded as if he had expected this.

It was understandable. Hadn’t Park Insu himself acted exactly the same way when he first arrived in the E-rank Zone?

Reminiscing about old times, Park Insu explained to them.

“The entire E-rank Zone is made up of floating islands like this. There are no continents, and you can visit other floating islands through portals that allow movement between floating islands like this.”

“Wow…”

“…It’s beautiful.”

“It’s naturally awe-inspiring.”

Not only Dohyun,

but even Hanalin and Jiyuchan, who always acted coldly, couldn’t help but express their admiration.

After witnessing the beautiful scenery for quite a while, when Dohyun’s party came to their senses with an “oh right” expression, Park Insu belatedly explained as if it was fine.

“This area is practically a Safe Zone used only by Hunters from Earth, so you don’t need to worry.”

While feeling relieved at those words, Dohyun sharply analyzed the situation.

If this place was mostly Earth Hunters, then in other words.

“The floating island Radon doesn’t have a very good location, does it?”

“Exactly.”

Park Insu had no choice but to nod at Dohyun’s sharp judgment.

Since the buildings in the Safe Zone were also purchased with points, the areas that Earth’s Hunters, who could still be considered poor, could afford were limited.

Park Insu began guiding them to explain things step by step to Dohyun.

“First, let’s not talk here and go to the Korean Hunter Association Dormitory.”

At Park Insu’s words, Dohyun’s party and Park Insu’s party moved, and before long they were able to arrive at what could be called the dormitory.

The two parties sat at the largest table in the common area. Once they were seated, Park Insu continued the explanation he had started earlier.

“As you said, there are few places to hunt on this Radon. So we have to go out to floating islands where no Safe Zones exist using portals to hunt, but using portals costs points.”

“Hmm, an entrance fee.”

“Yes. There are portals that look like stone tablets, and the portals won’t open unless you pay a certain amount of points. Just like entering Black Gates, you have to pay points as a party unit.”

Everyone nodded in understanding at Park Insu’s explanation.

And Park Insu also explained other precautions.

“And although they’re called public zone floating islands, most different races don’t hesitate to fight each other for competition. Since there’s no penalty for becoming a villain here anyway.”

“Oh.”

“…?”

Dohyun actually brightened up at the mention that villains could appear frequently, and Park Insu stared blankly at that reaction.

Noticing this, Hanalin and Jiyuchan stopped Dohyun, perhaps feeling a bit embarrassed.

“…Dohyun oppa.”

“Dohyun.”

“Ah, sorry sorry.”

When Dohyun, who had some sense, apologized and focused, Park Insu gulped wondering what that was about and continued speaking.

“Anyway, you need to be most careful of other races, but the next thing you should know about is dungeons.”

At those words, this time without exception, even Hanalin and Jiyuchan’s eyes lit up with interest.

It was understandable.

Although they appeared occasionally in F-rank, wasn’t it a rare concept?

Since they had only been there for half a day anyway, they wouldn’t have had a chance to discover dungeons. In any case, everyone looked at Park Insu at the mention of dungeons, and he continued.

“This E-rank Zone has active dungeons, so you’ll be able to find them easily.”

Hearing words that matched their expectations, Dohyun’s party all lit up with anticipation.
