Episode 29
The upper echelon of the South Korean government was in a state of anxiety.
The cause was none other than Hunter Jeon Jae-woo.
Minister Lee Chul-su had bitten his nails until they bled.
Yet he seemed to feel no pain from it.
“Has Hunter Jeon Jae-woo still not made contact?”
“That’s correct. The situation remains unchanged.”
“This is maddening.”
It wasn’t mere figure of speech—the frustration was genuine, the kind that threatened to suffocate him.
Since the deadline for the Dungeon clearance hadn’t passed, nothing was confirmed yet.
But if Jeon Jae-woo, who had entered an Ancient-grade Dungeon, had already met with disaster—
[When will Hunter Jeon Jae-woo return? The Hunter Association still has no contact.]
[He will come back alive. I’m certain of it.]

Mirroring the public’s creeping anxiety, the media began churning out related articles one by one.
But defying all their fears, Jeon Jae-woo emerged from the Dungeon the moment the clearance was complete.
[Wall of Vanity Dungeon Rankings]
1st Place – Jeon Jae-woo
And there his name stood at the very top of the published rankings, boldly surpassing a roster of formidable foreign hunters.
┗Thank you so much for coming back alive, Hunter Jeon Jae-woo. My heart can finally rest.
┗Ha! I told you all from the start I believed in him!
┗You nearly stopped my heart. I really thought he was done for.
┗But what did he get as a reward for clearing the Dungeon?
┗I’m curious too. Since he lasted the longest, the reward must be the best.
Yu Jeong-tae caught sight of Jeon Jae-woo’s name registered on the rankings and rushed over at full speed.
“My goodness, Hunter Jeon Jae-woo! You’re unharmed!”
He didn’t particularly want to collide with a man streaming tears and snot down his face.
After composing himself somewhat, Yu Jeong-tae stepped inside Jeon Jae-woo’s home and they spoke.
“So you endured the Wall of Vanity Dungeon all the way to the end and escaped?”
“Yes. After a month passed, I was ejected automatically.”
As an aside, the Wall of Vanity, unlike typical Dungeons, had vanished completely—inaccessible for re-entry the moment the month concluded.
And Jeon Jae-woo appeared unmarked, completely intact.
Not that Yu Jeong-tae had wished for him to be damaged, but clearing such a formidable Dungeon while remaining entirely unscathed was nothing short of astonishing.
“Your health is satisfactory? Should any issues arise, please visit the Hunter Association’s medical facility at once.”
“The facility won’t be necessary, but I’m somewhat exhausted. It seems I’ll be unable to attempt any Dungeons for a while.”
At Jeon Jae-woo’s words about needing rest from Dungeon clearances, Yu Jeong-tae sighed inwardly.
‘If only he’d combine forces with us and clear them together, that would be something.’
He also wouldn’t have minded sharing the rewards reasonably.
Yet Jeon Jae-woo had endured the ordeal of the Dungeon alone to its bitter end.
Where, exactly, did this man’s limits lie? Yu Jeong-tae had no grasp of it.
“Then rest well, and contact me when you’re ready to resume. Please don’t hesitate to ask if you need anything at all.”
“Yes. Thank you, Director.”
Meanwhile, the official rankings were published and clearance rewards were distributed.
Every Hunter who attempted the Dungeon received compensation according to their performance.
The rewards, just as Noboom had mentioned, were Dungeon Clearance Permits.
The clearance team dispatched by the Korean Hunter Association endured ten days and obtained only a single additional permit.
Since they had already expended their clearance attempts upon entry, the effort was meaningless.
In fact, it amounted to a considerable loss.
They’d gained one permit but consumed the precious clearance attempts of S-rank and A-rank Hunters.
Though they did recover and sell portions of Monster corpses hunted in the Dungeon, earning some funds from the sale.
Japan, having endured roughly halfway through with fifteen days, received two permits.
And Jeon Jae-woo, placing first, received the most—six permits altogether.
‘I didn’t expect them to award this many.’
Truth be told, given the hardship endured in the Dungeon, this amount seemed fitting.
The Wall of Vanity Dungeon distributed rewards to all challengers based on duration, but its practical difficulty was equivalent to a Mythic-grade Dungeon.
Monsters pouring in endlessly for a full month, and the final boss-class Monster—truly.
‘In the end, Myeol-geop’s analysis was roughly correct.’
Even combining all their strength now, the chance of clearing a Mythic-grade Dungeon wouldn’t exceed fifty percent.
Against an Energy Sphere, he’d managed to hold out to a degree, but ultimately failed to defeat it, barely escaping after enduring for over a day.
In any case, he’d tear up the Clearance Permit papers received as reward and put them to use.
[Clearable Dungeons (12)]
The number of times he could attempt dungeon clearance increased immediately.
Since one attempt had been consumed clearing the Ancient-grade Dungeon, the count had effectively reset to its initial value for the first time.
Doubling the clearance attempts was a significant achievement.
But a new problem had emerged.
Myeol-geop, Jeon Jae-woo’s greatest asset, had entered a non-functional state.
Myeol-geop had blocked the relentless barrage of Energy Spheres with every ounce of strength.
After enduring that assault for over a day, it finally ceased operating.
Nearly a month of combat in the Dungeon, followed by maintaining a colossal energy barrier against the enemy’s attacks—the Golem had simply overloaded.
Noboom’s Healing ability proved useless against the overloaded Myeol-geop.
Healing was precisely that—healing, not a characteristic that could restore life itself.
It could mend an old man’s wounds in an instant, but it couldn’t reverse an aged body’s deterioration.
Although Myeol-geop wasn’t a living creature, being a machine meant it had inherent limits to its operational capacity.
“Could we restore it using the Revival ability?”
Elderitch shook his head at his master’s request.
“The issue is that Myeol-geop isn’t technically dead, which complicates matters. Besides, do Golems even have concepts of life and death to begin with?”
Indeed, Myeol-geop’s status window showed no death marker.
“Master. Why burden yourself with worry? You possess the Heavenly Box—one of your very own Characteristics. You can use it for repairs.”
For a moment, his ears perked up as if struck by lightning.
‘Right. I’d forgotten that function existed.’
[Damaged weapons can be repaired by placing them back inside the box.]
The Heavenly Box could restore broken objects.
His sole concern was whether placing Myeol-geop inside might produce some unexpected new entity.
“Since Myeol-geop currently belongs to you, Master, no other entity will emerge.”
With that assurance, he inserted Myeol-geop into the Heavenly Box.
The box’s lid closed, and repairs began.
[‘Myeol-geop’ is being repaired. Time remaining until completion: 745 : 59 : 59]
Jeon Jae-woo’s eyes widened when he saw the duration.
‘It takes that long?’
Given Myeol-geop’s rank, the repair would consume over a month.
Which meant neither Myeol-geop nor the Heavenly Box’s functions could be used during that time.
As he’d said countless times, Myeol-geop was Jeon Jae-woo’s trump card—the Summon that bore not one but two Transcendent-grade Characteristics.
Noboom possessed a Transcendent-grade Characteristic as well, but his was oriented entirely toward recovery.
‘I can’t attempt any serious dungeons for a while.’
Rare-grade Dungeons and below might be manageable, but tackling Legendary-grade Dungeons with just this crew carried unacceptable risk.
Yet he wasn’t without options.
[(Partially Unsealed) Heavenly Box – ???]
A weapon used in the great wars of ancient Earth. When any material is placed inside, it amplifies the material’s performance by factors ranging from several times to thousands, fusing them to create entirely new weapons. Some of the box’s sealed properties have now been unsealed, allowing simultaneous use of what amounts to two boxes.
After this Dungeon conquest, some of the Heavenly Box’s previously sealed properties had unlocked.
‘All the Characteristic grades have turned into question marks.’
As a result, a vacant slot opened in the box, enabling additional use.
***
The moment the Wall of Vanity Dungeon vanished, the next month’s Dungeons were announced.
As usual, only multiple Legendary-grade Dungeons appeared—no Ancient-grade this time.
And as always, each nation prepared and proceeded with their Dungeon clearance operations.
But Jeon Jae-woo, who had been rampaging for months, remained still and did nothing.
Without Myeol-geop—his greatest strength—he lacked confidence to challenge Legendary-grade Dungeons and above.
He’d already informed the Hunter Association that no Dungeon clearances were planned for the foreseeable future.
Instead, Jeon Jae-woo devoted himself entirely to Swordsmanship training, exactly as Myeol-geop had taught him, building his capabilities.
Hunting Monsters alongside Elderitch and Noboom in Dungeons near Seoul.
And the Monster corpses left over from hunts were placed in the box for additional attempts at creation.
Perhaps a new entity might emerge to replace Myeol-geop.
Of course, every result was a complete failure.
‘Everything that comes out is just items.’
At this point, shouldn’t the Characteristic be renamed “Item Box”?
He was beginning to grasp just how difficult it was to draw a Summon of Myeol-geop’s caliber.
Of course, everything the box produced was extraordinary in its own right.
He could bring them to the Hunter Association, sell them for considerable profit, and even earn their gratitude—possibly their bows.
But what Jeon Jae-woo truly wanted wasn’t items; it was a new Summon like Myeol-geop, Elderitch, or Noboom.
‘Maybe I should just throw all the remaining materials in at once and see what happens.’
If I had enough materials, maybe I could pull out something tremendously powerful.
But the moment he voiced the thought, Elderitch stopped him short.
“Creator. It’s best to put things with similar characteristics together in the box. Throw in just anything, and you’ll end up with something bizarre—a muddled mess that’s neither one thing nor the other.”
He’d put in similar materials, but nothing particularly useful had emerged, so that made sense.
Then Elderitch offered a new proposal.
“What if we put ourselves back into the box?”
“??”
Jeon Jae-woo stared at him blankly, caught off guard.
“What do you mean? You and Noboom don’t need any repairs.”
“Think of it less as repair and more as an upgrade.”
Ah, I see.
Anything could be placed inside the Heavenly Box.
Which meant anything could serve as material.
Even summons already finished and brought forth weren’t exceptions.
“But what if something goes wrong when you go in?”
“When you put Myeol-geop in the box, didn’t I tell you that we are beings bound to you, the Creator? And regardless, it’s certain that our performance will improve.”
Well, in that case.
“Are you really sure about this?”
“At this point, I believe it’s the best course of action for what you seek, Creator.”
Jeon Jae-woo accepted Elderitch’s words and dumped all the items he’d made from the materials obtained from the undead-type monsters into the Heavenly Box.
Finally, Elderitch stepped into the box of his own accord.
Before the lid closed, Elderitch waved at Jeon Jae-woo.
“Until we meet again, then, Creator. Take care of yourself. Noboom, I’m counting on you to look after the Creator while we’re gone.”
“Don’t worry!”
It was only a brief separation—what was there to worry about?
And the box lid shut.
[Time Remaining Until Completion: 78:59:57]
It would take Elderitch more than three days to be reborn.
Unlike the typical twenty-four hours, the extended time likely stemmed from the certain nature of the result—something guaranteed to work.
‘I should’ve asked him to summon a few skeletons as guards before he went in.’
All Jeon Jae-woo could do now was wait for his summons to emerge from the box.
What form would Myeol-geop and Elderitch return in?
