Chapter 27
As the month passed, a new Dungeon was naturally announced.
It was rare, but following last month, another Ancient-Grade Dungeon had surfaced.
What’s more, this one seemed quite unusual.
To learn about the rewards in advance, I sent Nobum to scout the Dungeon, and he returned with information shortly.
“Master! I’m back!”
“Good. How was the Ancient-Grade Dungeon?”
“It looks like the reward is an additional Clear Token!”
Interesting. The timing couldn’t be better.
Here I was searching for Clear Tokens, and a new Dungeon with an additional Clear Token as a reward suddenly appears.
‘I’d better claim it before another country gets their hands on it.’
“But the number of Clear Tokens given as rewards doesn’t seem to be fixed.”
“What? What do you mean?”
Nobum tilted his head uncertainly before answering.
“Well, I’d say the rewards are determined based on your performance.”
“Performance?”
I stepped into the Dungeon briefly to check the notification window, and that cleared things up.
In this Ancient-Grade Dungeon, the number of Monsters wasn’t fixed—they poured out endlessly.
And their strength gradually increased as time went on.
The longer you held out, the greater the number of additional Clear Tokens you could earn.
“So it’s not about who clears the Dungeon first.”
“It seems to last only one month, until the next Dungeon is announced.”
Then there was no time to waste.
I needed to enter as soon as possible and maximize my chances of earning greater rewards.
“Let’s enter the Dungeon right away. Get ready quickly. Everyone’s good to go, right?”
Meanwhile, Myeol-geop also seemed quite pleased about this Dungeon appearing.
[This is quite fortuitous, Creator.]
“What is? That the reward is an additional Clear Token?”
[That as well, but this Dungeon will be ideal for conducting your training, Creator.]
……
An ominous feeling crept over me, and my spine went cold.
We’re going in to clear the Dungeon, not to train.
But Myeol-geop already seemed absorbed in thoughts of putting me through training.
Naturally, Myeol-geop and all the Summoned Creatures that emerged from the box prioritized their master Jeon Jae-woo’s safety above all else.
Because of this, they rarely left his side, and they never overlooked any hint of danger.
When clearing Dungeons, the Summons handled all the combat.
Yet even with their constant presence, the world was unpredictable—variables could emerge at any moment.
Building my own strength to protect myself, even if some unforeseen circumstance arose, was the true path to my safety.
[So please obey my instructions without complaint.]
……
If I refused, I had a feeling it would throw me straight into the middle of a horde of Monsters.
[You will, won’t you?]
……
[Answer.]
“Yeah…”
Your speech pattern’s been changing lately. Maybe from staying on Earth for so long.
In any case, since I’d be away for an extended period, I should contact my parents and Director Yoo.
Director Yoo would probably propose joining forces because of the Dungeon’s unusual nature, but I had no intention of sharing the additional Clear Tokens earned as rewards with the Hunter Association.
I’d be out of contact for about a month, but I left them a message saying there was nothing to worry about before entering the Ancient-Grade Dungeon.
Since this opportunity had come my way, I needed to obtain as many additional Clear Tokens as possible.
[‘Wall of Void’ Clear Condition: Survive as long as possible while defeating the maximum number of Monsters (0/∞)]
In this Dungeon, the total number of Monsters was not fixed.
‘The infinity symbol in the notification itself proves it.’
The landscape inside the Dungeon called the Wall of Void was a desolate plain.
Elderitch glanced around and spoke.
“Hmm, I sense no presence nearby. Rather than them sleeping, it seems they’re summoned into existence.”
And almost before the words left his mouth, Monsters began to appear.
Squish-squish-squish.
Skeletal bones burst up through the ground ahead, rising in masses.
“Ah, familiar faces, I see.”
Elderitch smiled upon seeing the skeleton monster.
‘You’d be glad to see them, I suppose.’
Undead-type monsters are said to be among the creatures hunters most detest.
Soon, an enormous army of skeletons filling the entire plain began advancing toward them one by one.
Common skeletons are the weakest class of monsters, like goblins and slimes, but with so many swarming in, the pressure is hardly trivial.
[Creator. Take up your sword and come to my side.]
Myeol-geop, unlike his usual self, told him to stay behind—it would be dangerous once combat began.
[The monsters emerging now are the weakest specimens in this dungeon, making them ideal for training.]
Myeol-geop intended to cultivate his master properly in an environment perfectly suited for training.
Eventually, as time passes, the conquest difficulty will rise automatically, and beginners will have no opening to act—now is the right moment.
-To employ this body merely to dispatch such lowly undead! How lamentable indeed!!
“……”
The Ego Sword, fuming that the caliber of battle was beneath him.
The moment Jeon Jae-woo began writing the sword’s name as “dung” in the notification window, the creature fell silent.
“Sigh.”
Jeon Jae-woo took a slow, deep breath.
Even setting aside being overwhelmed by numbers, he was quite tense.
And no wonder—this was Jeon Jae-woo’s first time fighting monsters directly as a hunter.
-Whooooom
Myeol-geop conjured a Light Blade in his hand and took his stance.
Elderitch and Nobum also prepared to face their respective enemies.
“Then I’ll keep the others occupied while you train the creator, shall I?”
Elderitch deployed Necromancy to summon several skeleton knights wielding various weapons—swords, spears, axes.
“If you’re hurt, come straight to me, Master! I’ll heal you right away!”
Nobum became one with nature, creating an enormous recovery field through which he could deliver healing mana to his allies whenever needed.
With Myeol-geop, Elderitch, and Nobum all present, Jeon Jae-woo felt completely secure.
-A swordsman’s first battle unfolding in such a chaotic crucible, utterly devoid of nobility. Tsk, tsk.
Save for this manners-less Ego Sword.
[Then, we shall begin with the very foundations of Swordsmanship. Relax and follow my lead slowly.]
***
The Hunter Association was quite shocked upon identifying the type of this new Ancient-Grade Dungeon.
Though many dungeons had appeared before, a dungeon of this type was unprecedented.
Of course, since dungeon types are so diverse, it wasn’t particularly strange that a new type was being added at this point.
In any case, each nation hastily organized conquest teams to explore the Ancient-Grade Dungeon.
And nearly every country in the world began attempting to conquer it.
This was different from before, when only superpowers with the capacity to challenge it dared attempt Ancient-Grade Dungeons.
Normally, Korea and Japan lacked the strength to even consider Ancient-Grade Dungeons and instead focused their efforts on conquering Legendary-Grade and lower dungeons.
But this time, it wasn’t about who conquered the dungeon first—rewards were determined based on conquest performance.
In other words, the opportunity to claim even a portion of Ancient-Grade Dungeon rewards was now open to all who dared challenge it.
Not just domestic hunter companies but ordinary hunters too began dreaming of striking it rich and attempting the conquest.
Of course, befitting an Ancient-Grade Dungeon, the conquest difficulty was extremely, extraordinarily harsh.
The moment hunters entered the dungeon, skeleton armies blocked their path from the very start.
Skeletons weren’t particularly difficult foes, but their numbers were staggering.
At least in the early stages, even with such numbers, the monsters were low-rank and manageable, but afterward came orcs, king slimes, wyverns, and more.
Monsters with considerable reputations poured out ceaselessly, literally without respite.
Moreover, it wasn’t a matter of fighting for a day or two and being done—to earn maximum rewards, one had to fight for the full thirty days.
Unless hunters were combat golems constructed as killing machines, rest was essential.
The conquest teams, locked in relentless struggle against monsters, gradually fell apart.
Naturally, mediocre hunters couldn’t endure the Ancient-Grade Dungeon’s difficulty and dropped out in no time.
Even the main conquest team organized by the Korean Hunter Association managed only ten days before withdrawing from the dungeon.
“Haa… haa…”
Kim Yu-min, who had held the vanguard, dropped his Great Sword the moment he emerged from the dungeon.
Having absorbed every assault from the monsters at the frontline with his entire body, he was battered and broken.
The Knight King’s Armor that Jeon Jae-woo had procured for him bore considerable damage as well.
“Ah, the hunters have come out!”
“Healers, hurry! Tend to the wounded!”
People carried the exhausted hunters on their backs and rushed them to the hospital.
Director Yoo also rushed over to check on Kim Yu-min, an S-Rank Hunter.
“Yu-min. You’ve worked so hard. Are your wounds manageable?”
Kim Yu-min breathed heavily as a healer tended to his wounds.
“Yes… Han Sung-jae’s condition is worse than mine…”
Han Sung-jae, an S-Rank Hunter and Korea’s foremost mage.
He’d drained every last drop of Mana from his body and collapsed from exhaustion, rushed immediately to the medical ward.
“In any case, thank you for your hard work. Get plenty of rest for a while.”
Yet Kim Yu-min’s voice carried a hollow edge.
“But… we couldn’t even hold out for half the total duration.”
“What are you saying? The important thing is that none of the clearing team died. You did more than well enough. I’m sorry I couldn’t go in with you.”
Yoo Jung-tae, as a senior S-Rank Hunter, offered encouragement to his junior, but in truth, failing to endure even half a month was a bitter pill to swallow.
It was a harsh reminder that Korea’s Hunter forces still lagged at the level of a middle power.
The major Hunter nations—China, America, India, and others—were in a different league entirely, but even neighboring Japan had entered the Dungeon around the same time and was still holding on.
Without Jeon Jae-woo, he felt keenly that Korea still fell short of them.
News soon reached the general public.
[Breaking News. The Hunter Association’s clearing team has just emerged from the Wall of Void Ruin.]
[Lasting only ten days in an Ancient-Grade Dungeon? Japan is still going strong.]
[Official statement from the Hunter Association. Hunter Jeon Jae-woo did not enter with us.]
┗Wait, what? Our country only held out for ten days?
┗Wasn’t South Korea ranked first last month? Honestly, my heart is sinking…
┗That was all thanks to Jeon Jae-woo anyway. What do you expect from the Hunter Association?
┗This is the Association’s fault. We need to clean house—Director Yoo and the entire leadership.
┗But why didn’t Jeon Jae-woo go in with them? Did he go in alone again?
Of course, not all Korean Hunters had come out of the Ancient-Grade Dungeon.
The clearing teams sent by major domestic companies outside the Hunter Association had long since withdrawn.
But Korea still had its sole hope remaining—Jeon Jae-woo.
Yet as time passed and the top-ranked nations began to emerge one by one, anxiety among the Korean people deepened.
If there was no word by the time the deadline for conquering the Dungeon expired, it meant Jeon Jae-woo had died attempting to clear the Ancient-Grade Dungeon.
