Labyrinth Exploration 101 Episode 298

Our Night(4)

The sky is endlessly blue, and the air is white and cold. The streets of Seoul are gradually soaking in the year-end atmosphere. Cool yet somehow excited…

“It’s cold.”

Lee Si-ah pulled her collar tight.

It’s chilly. It’s already December. It’s becoming the season when snow falls, and the end of Mitamnan is not far away.

“Haa…”

Lee Si-ah sighed and looked up at the building. Seol Ha-woon’s face was hanging huge on the outdoor billboard.

Against a backdrop of snow, he looks down at the city with deep, quiet eyes.

There was text below.

The season of snowy paths is winter.

Fruit that ripens in winter

Vote for Seol Ha-woon now.

Lee Si-ah smiled contentedly and returned home. She laid out today’s food on the table. It was a set with Seol Ha-woon’s face on it.

Glug glug glug.

First, she poured water into the cup ramen and sat on the sofa, briefly checking the internet broadcast before the main show started.

—Kim Byeong-su: Today we have invited a truly precious guest to watch Mitamnan together. Thanks to Mitamnan, I get to invite such people. Welcome. This is Professor Lee Yun-se.

Professor Lee Yun-se.

“Wow.”

Lee Si-ah knows him too. He appears on various TV programs and is an active mage and professor.

─Lee Yun-se: Nice to meet you. I’m Lee Yun-se. I’m currently working as a professor at Seoul National University’s Department of Magic.

─Kim Byeong-su: It’s an honor. Professor Lee Yun-se, you’re the only person in South Korea who has solved up to problem 9 of Magic Hat Seol Ha-woon’s problem set, right?

-Seoul National University wow

-I heard that’s really difficult

-Wow problem 9 wow

-But how did Seol Ha-woon even create such problems?

-For mage types, creating problems is much easier than solving them lol

-Even considering that, Seol Ha-woon just created problems really well.

─Lee Yun-se: Yes. Among South Korean mages, I’m probably the only one who solved up to problem 9. Usually in these events, the mages step back… But even for them, it would take quite a long time to reinterpret this theoretically and present it as an answer key.

─Kim Byeong-su: Oh really?

Seol Ha-woon’s problems are especially hot these days. So many mages are challenging them.

─Lee Yun-se: Yes. Mage Seol Ha-woon excellently turned his intuition into problems… Honestly, I’d like to have him try solving them himself.

-lololol

-He’s slightly annoyed lol

-But did Seol Ha-woon really create all that by himself?

-lol what’s real is that Seol Ha-woon said he can’t clearly explain it himself either.

-Yeah he can manifest the formula, but he’d leave the explanation to someone else lol

─Kim Byeong-su: What part of it is so difficult?

─Lee Yun-se: It takes too much time to explain in detail, but simply put, the ‘trajectory’ is different. Because it has to be solved in a completely different way from standardized magic…

Lee Si-ah bought the first edition of Seol Ha-woon’s problem set right away and kept it as unopened merchandise. She wouldn’t be able to solve it anyway even if she looked.

─Kim Byeong-su: If it’s not rude to ask, how far did you get with problem 10…

─Lee Yun-se: To be honest, I solved more than half of it. But I came out to refresh myself and watch the main show.

─Kim Byeong-su: Oh my~ thank you for this. Then let’s talk about Labyrinth Exploration. I heard Professor Lee Yun-se is also a fan of Labyrinth Exploration?

─Lee Yun-se: Fan… actually, I became one recently. Until 2 weeks ago, I didn’t even watch Labyrinth Exploration.

Professor Lee Yun-se adjusted his rimless glasses and smiled slightly.

─Kim Byeong-su: Wow really? 2 weeks ago… that’s exactly when Professor Arkal’s life labyrinth episode aired, right?

─Lee Yun-se: Yes, that’s correct.

-Oh

-Somehow their images seem similar lol

-lol but Arkal wasn’t a genius

-lololol

─Lee Yun-se: I heard similar stories to our lab came up there too-

─Kim Byeong-su: Ah, so did your graduate students recommend it?

─Lee Yun-se: Yes.

Kim Byeong-su suddenly holds back laughter

─Kim Byeong-su: Then, do you not do research or work during Mitamnan’s main broadcast time since then?

─Lee Yun-se: It ended up that way. I got so absorbed in it.

─Kim Byeong-su: You used to do research on that day too?

─Lee Yun-se: That’s right.

“You got played.”

Lee Si-ah chuckled while eating cup ramen.

─Kim Byeong-su: Then, don’t you think your getting hooked on Mitamnan might have been your graduate students’ conspiracy?

─Lee Yun-se: Hmm… probably not. They’re kids with very high academic enthusiasm.

-lolololololol

-No lololol

-This person got tricked lololol

-lololololol

-lololol

-Professor lololol

-lolol

-Graduate students victory

-Wow but damn, it would have been suffocating to miss the main broadcast and be doing research

-For real, especially since it’s the Department of Magic lol

“How cute.”

He’s young for a professor, but he seems to have no sense of what’s going on.

─Lee Yun-se : Everyone’s laughing a lot in the chat. Why are you laughing? Suddenly only “kekeke” is showing up.

─Kim Byeong-su : Ahaha, that’s… Oh my. The live broadcast is starting now.

─Lee Yun-se : Yes.

Professor Lee Yun-se’s eyes suddenly sparkled. It seemed he had become a true fan in just those 2 weeks.

┌──Labyrinth Exploration NaN──┐

The live broadcast opening consists of daily life scenes that help relieve tension after the Life Labyrinth ended.

─Im Hae-jun : Heave-ho. Heave-ho. Heave-hooooo!

Im Hae-jun practicing parkour and tumbling down.

─Lee Jun-ho : …I see with my heart.

Lee Jun-ho wearing a blindfold and cutting down tree leaves falling from the sky.

─Yoon Hwa-rim : Ziiiiing. Ziiiiing.

Yoon Hwa-rim reinforcing Cart Vrooom with magic power welding.

─Rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle.

Seol Ha-woon controlling Truck to deliver drinks to his training area.

─Seo Ji-woo : Ah… I’m sleepy.

Seo Ji-woo making a hammock with lines and taking an afternoon nap, and so on.

-There’s not much time left to see these kids

-This time it exploded globally so they’ll probably shoot lots of content even after debut

-Yoon Sa-hyuk said he’d do lots of unit activities.

-Do you guys believe what Yoon Sa-hyuk says

Wol-ryeong Labyrinth broadcast day

Then the day to broadcast Wol-ryeong Labyrinth arrived, and everyone gathered at the set stage.

─Yoo Ji-in : Today we’ll watch the Labyrinth Exploration live broadcast together. This time it’s not group viewing. Personal rooms have been prepared where you can quietly enjoy it alone-

─Im Hae-jun : Aaah no way!

-hahahaha

-Hahahahahahaha

-Hahahahaha

-Hahahaha

-That guy is so consistent lmao

─Im Hae-jun : …Sorry.

─Yoo Ji-in : It’s okay. Personal rooms are prepared, so please go in comfortably and watch.

Everyone was about to scatter into the personal rooms lined up in the left and right corridors.

─Im Hae-jun : Master!

Im Hae-jun suddenly grabbed Seol Ha-woon and shouted urgently.

─Im Hae-jun : I discovered a winning strategy! There’s no rule saying you have to enter personal rooms alone?! If we go in together it’s a sure win!

-Hahahaha

-The surefire way to get in together, what bullshit lololol

-Hahahaha

─Seol Ha-woon : …How is that a winning strategy.

─Im Hae-jun : Because! If Master and I team up we’re invincible-

─Seol Ha-woon : You’re noisy, get in.

─Im Hae-jun : Ack, don’t push me. Aaah. Aaaaah.

Seol Ha-woon shoved Im Hae-jun into any random room and entered a different room.

─Lee Yun-se : Hahahaha.

Professor Lee Yun-se’s laughter from the broadcast overlapped.

He’s laughing quite heartily.

-Their chemistry lolololol

-Hahahaha

-Hahahaha

-Seol Ha-woon seems to find Im Hae-jun comfortable now

Most of the explorers sat on the personal room sofas preparing to watch the live broadcast,

Wol-ryeong Labyrinth

─Im Hae-jun : Uaaaah!

Im Hae-jun starts screaming from the moment the live broadcast begins.

─Im Hae-jun : Uaaaaah!

Whenever anything appears, his body trembles.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

─Lim Haejun: Coughhhhhhh.

During the elementary school ghost incident, I was almost on the verge of fainting and my neck got twisted.

-Hahahaha

-It’s like Lim Hae-jun’s one-man show, damn lol

-Hahahaha

-Ah so noisy

Chzzzzzzzzzz──!

Suddenly the TV turned off.

─Im Hae-jun: ….

Im Hae-jun also stopped moving along with it.

─Im Hae-jun: ….

He’s speechless.

─Im Hae-jun: ….

He’s frozen.

(Not a frozen screen)

After showing Im Hae-jun staying still for a while, the view switches to another explorer’s perspective.

It’s Seol Ha-woon.

He’s refreshingly bold. As soon as the TV turns off, he gets up and throws open the door.

-Wow

-Just different

-hahahaha

-Really not scared at all

-A human who doesn’t know fear

─Seol Ha-woon: …I knew this would happen.

Seol Ha-woon frowns as he looks outside the personal room.

It’s a vast empty field. The sky is high, but all directions are blocked by some kind of walls.

Lee Si-ah’s eyes widened.

“Is it a maze?”

An incredibly huge maze.

There’s a backpack in the middle of the grass field.

[Backpack Set for Beginner Explorers!]

Seol Ha-woon picked up the backpack and opened it. The camera zoomed in on the items inside.

[CAZE▼MAZE]

Maze. This place is clearly divided into ‘maze zones’ and ‘non-maze zones’.

Above there is no sky, below there exists only a bottomless abyss.

With a moment’s luck you might strike it rich, but the next day your life could be snuffed out like a candle.

CAZE MAZE, welcome to the maze.

─Kang Hyeon: CAZE MAZE… maze.

The other explorers also come out and confirm the identity of the labyrinth.

─Lee Jun-ho: CAZE MAZE.

─Seo Ji-woo: CAZE MAZE…

─Kate: CAZE MAZE…

Kate’s pronunciation is really good.

Just then.

Chzzzzzzzzzz──!

The TV screen that suddenly lost signal comes back on.

─Im Hae-jun: ….

It’s Im Hae-jun, frozen like a stone waiting for her husband’s return.

-Hahahahahaha

-Hahaha no

-What are you doing lololol

-Hahahaha

The view switches to another explorer’s perspective again.

─Yoon Hwa-rim: Come out, Boong-boong.

Yoon Hwa-rim rolls a magic stone to summon Boong-boong.

-Wow I’m jealous.

-Is this labyrinth specialized for Yoon Hwa-rim?

-Can she just call that thing anytime? That’s totally overpowered

-Yeah, those things are treated as carriages so you can ride them around outside the dungeon too lol

-It’ll really shine off-road, right? Especially when adventuring lol Yoon Hwa-rim is gonna make a fortune with just that alone.

─Seo Ji-woo: Hmm… CAZE MAZE. I think I need to prepare a bit before going.

Seo Ji-woo starts weaving wire to make leather armor.

─Seol Ha-woon: A maze within a labyrinth….

Meanwhile, Seol Ha-woon is already walking.

Kururuk!

Strange creatures appear from the grass field not far away.

They’re goblins.

Seol Ha-woon immediately formed bullets and poured them out.

Swoooooosh─!

The goblins’ arms and legs were dismembered.

Poor things.

-Whoa

-Now goblins are just no match at all lololol

-Wow this reminds me of episode 1 lol Back then he was scared of being heard by gunshots so he beat them with a sword lol

[Experience 30 gained]

[Experience 16 gained]

[Experience 24 gained]

─Seol Ha-woon : …Experience?

It seems to be this labyrinth’s system.

Tap. Tap.

Seol Ha-woon walks while tapping his walking stick. The walls on both sides of the maze are towering high, and the path is irregular.

Tap. Tap.

As he walked further, the maze’s width gradually expanded until it became an incredibly vast expanse.

The Crimson Expanse.

-Gasp

-Look at that scale

-Isn’t he scared?

-He’s just casually walking along lololol

-Seems careless

-That’s not how a mage moves.. Mages are usually scared and super careful.

-Does he have confidence he can handle it?

-No no he’s already prepared and moving forward

-What preparation lol he’s just fucking walking

Indeed, Seol Ha-woon moves without hesitation. As if he already knows everything, he walks tap tap tap with his walking stick.

Then.

─Seol Ha-woon : …?

From Seol Ha-woon’s distance, there’s someone approaching with a smile.

─Adventurer : Ah, nice to meet you. Are you an adventurer?

An adventurer asking if he’s an adventurer, somehow suspicious but with a good impression.

─Seol Ha-woon : Yes.

The moment Seol Ha-woon answers.

The screen switches!

─Im Hae-jun : ….

Im Hae-jun.

That guy who’s still frozen stiff gets a close-up.

-Ah shit now move already lolololololol

-lolololololololol

-Please just go lololololol

-lolololololol

-lololol

-lolololololol

-Ah he’s the only one frozen stiff lolololololol

-lolololol

-He’s basically fainting with his eyes open

-lolololol

-Hae-jun please;;

-lololol

-So frustrating, so frustrating….

Rustle, rustle. Snowflakes are settling down. Large fluffy snow. In that place where pure white particles pile up endlessly like light, I sit absent-mindedly and spend some time.

Because travel isn’t just about going. One-way isn’t travel.

Because when you find a place you like, you can stay quietly and spend at least one day and night.

…Honestly, it’s embarrassing too.

I didn’t cry easily. Even when Seo Ji-hyuk died, even when Grandmother passed away, tears never came out in the end. I didn’t expect to be like this in front of a camera at least.

But time eventually made me dull.

Perhaps, it returned to me the most important value.

“…I’m tired.”

I guess it’s okay to rest for a few hours. I took out the haunted tool set. Clang clang. I cut nearby tree branches and made a small rocking chair. I set up a tent to block the falling snow, and gathered stones in a circle in the center to light a fire.

Crackle. Crackle.

While warming myself by the warmly burning heat, I looked at the other guys’ feeds.

│The day I got 2nd place in the national archery competition!│

@Im Hae-jun I got 2nd place then. I thought I’d get 1st, but I cried because I couldn’t. 1st place was Lee Du-han hyung who’s now active as a ranker….

There are always people better than me everywhere and always, and I have to make my own progress. While doing labyrinth exploration, while being with master, I feel like I’ve learned so much. @Seol Ha-woon

#Im Hae-jun #Archer2ndPlace #Mitamnan

“…There’s no tag function.”

This guy went ahead and used tags anyway.

│The day I found a four-leaf clover│

@Kang Hyeon The day I found a four-leaf clover with dad. I’m now tracing my childhood. @Lee Jun-ho. How about you?

#FourLeafClover #MemorableDay

“I said there’s no tag function.”

It’s spreading like mushrooms after rain since Im Hae-jun.

│I really cried a lot back then.│

@Yoon Hwa-rim The day I decided to walk the path of a mage… honestly, I was scared and frightened, but I don’t regret it. @Seo Ji-woo.

Ji-woo. Have you ever had a day like this?

“Yeah. Tag away to your heart’s content.”

I chuckled softly while watching.

‘You look good when you smile. Yeah, just let it go like that. Don’t be so uptight for no reason.’

Suddenly, I had the illusion of a familiar weight settling down. It was Seo Ji-hyuk’s voice. He placed his hand on my shoulder and looked at the travel log together with me.

Before I knew it, another voice came from behind me.

‘Sergeant, let me take a look too.’

It was Yoon Jeong-hyeop holding instant ramen in one hand. Next to the campfire, Jin Si-jun was rubbing his hands while warming himself by the fire.

The empty space was suddenly filled with familiar faces.

Noisy jokes, meaningless pranks, and the warm comfort that embraced them all.

It’s the Labyrinth.

It’s the Labyrinth’s trick. It manipulated my memories to recreate them.

But…

“…This much is fine.”

I’ve run hard to get here, so I can afford to relax for one day.

Yeah, one day is enough.

I won’t rest for too long.

Because I know myself well.
