Episode 46
Asia, the continent to which the Korean Peninsula—the territory of South Korea—belongs.
At last, Legend-rank Dungeons that had remained unconquered in Asia began to be distributed.
Naturally, South Korea received a new Dungeon as well.
The moment the Dungeon System made its announcement, Jeon Jae-woo immediately sent No Boom into the newly assigned Dungeons.
With nearly fifty nations across Asia, it took considerable time for No Boom to enter each Dungeon one by one and confirm their details.
Upon returning shortly after, No Boom reported discovering several Dungeons whose rewards were Additional Conquest Permits.
However, unfortunately, the Conquest reward for the Dungeon assigned to Korea was not an Additional Conquest Permit.
‘I’d hoped that if a Dungeon were to be assigned to our country, its reward would at least be an Additional Conquest Permit.’
The South Korean Hunter Agency would almost certainly ask Jeon Jae-woo to conquer the Legend-rank Dungeon.
From what Jeon Jae-woo knew, South Korea lacked the independent strength to conquer a Legend-rank Dungeon that had remained unconquered for so long.
‘If they wanted my help, they’d have to offer me Additional Conquest Permits or something comparable.’
Of course, it would be better for Jeon Jae-woo to simply conquer the Dungeons assigned to Korea anyway.
Since both he and his family were Korean, he couldn’t entirely rule out the possibility that his parents might be endangered if a Break occurred.
Unless, that is, they emigrated to another safe country.
[There would be no need for the Creator to trouble Himself on their behalf…]
But then again, it felt wrong to ignore his own nation indefinitely as a Korean.
The news had been reporting on the Dungeon assigned to Korea day after day.
It was mostly either information related to the ‘Rainy Night’ Dungeon or speculation about when Jeon Jae-woo would set out to conquer it.
The smaller nations across Asia, meanwhile, were desperately hoping for his assistance.
Yet unlike the United States before, none of them sent representatives openly to contact Jeon Jae-woo.
Either they lacked the power to enter Korea without drawing the attention of the Korean Hunter Agency.
[It might be wise to help the countries whose Dungeons offer Additional Conquest Permits as rewards first.]
“Perhaps you’re right.”
If the reward were a single Additional Conquest Permit, then conquering the Dungeon or not would ultimately yield the same result.
But by conquering a Dungeon, he could obtain the corpses of monsters he’d defeated and other materials.
It wasn’t that he was thinking of selling those things to make more money.
Jeon Jae-woo wasn’t a gold worshipper and had no intention of doing everything for profit.
The problem was that he lacked sufficient materials for his characteristic skill: Heaven’s Box.
Even after the Homunculus emerged from Heaven’s Box, he’d continued attempting new synthesis, but each time he failed to summon a new minion.
Creating a single minion truly wasn’t an easy task.
As a result, the monster corpses he’d been stockpiling as materials were already running low.
To summon new minions, he needed to obtain higher-quality materials and larger quantities of them.
Besides, if he conquered Legend-rank Dungeons in place of other countries, wouldn’t he receive various rewards from those nations as well?
During his time in South America, he’d had bad luck—the Dungeon assigned to Brazil happened to offer an Additional Conquest Permit as a reward, so he’d only helped Brazil.
If the Dungeons assigned to the other countries had also offered Additional Conquest Permits, he would have been willing to help them too.
“I should reach out to them right away.”
Jeon Jae-woo immediately picked up his phone and called Director Yu Jeong-tae.
He didn’t have contact information for foreign Hunter agencies.
***
“I… beg your pardon…?”
Yu Jeong-tae’s pupils quivered greatly as he conversed with Jeon Jae-woo.
Cold sweat dripped from his forehead and back.
His heartbeat had grown so loud he feared the other man could hear it.
He had just heard something so shocking from Jeon Jae-woo that it shook him profoundly.
He couldn’t recall trembling this much—perhaps not even when he’d faced the boss-class monster in a one-on-one confrontation during a Dungeon Conquest years ago.
He’d been thinking through ways to persuade Jeon Jae-woo to cooperate in a Dungeon Conquest, and when the call came first, he’d thought it was fortuitous and rushed straight to the man’s residence.
But then, out of nowhere, Jeon Jae-woo asked if he wanted to conquer the Legend-rank Dungeon assigned to Turkey and could he connect him with the Turkish government?
‘What is this? Am I dreaming right now?’
But the reality felt far too vivid to be a dream.
And besides, wasn’t it urgent to conquer the Dungeon assigned to Korea first? Now he was offering to help another country?
No matter how much Turkey was Korea’s long-standing brother nation (?), this made no sense.
‘Could he be planning to emigrate or something?’
Or was it a silent threat—don’t provoke me or I’ll get angry, just know your place and behave?
Yu Jeong-tae couldn’t begin to fathom why Jeon Jae-woo was suddenly making such a request.
Could it be that he was angry at the Hunter Agency because of what happened on the East Coast a few days ago?
Even if he were willing to help, there needed to be some logical basis. But why Turkey out of the blue?
“Director? Are you alright? Your complexion looks quite poor…”
“Ah, yes… I’m fine. Perfectly fine.”
Despite his words, Yu Jeong-tae was decidedly not fine.
Yu Jeong-tae thought he must have misheard and asked again.
“I’m sorry, but I didn’t quite catch what you said just now…”
“I said I’d like to conquer the Legend-rank Dungeon allocated to Turkey.”
Unfortunately, he had heard correctly.
Yu Jeong-tae asked in a trembling voice.
“Did we… did we make some mistake? If there’s something displeasing you, please tell me. Hunter, please.”
Yu Jeong-tae’s voice was like that of a powerless serf begging a bandit to spare his life.
Could it be that the problem was failing to handle everything smoothly and sensibly without even being told?
Jeon Jae-woo raised his eyebrows and asked back.
“What? A mistake? I’m simply saying I’d like to help conquer a dungeon allocated to a foreign country. What’s the problem?”
“But… you didn’t help before. In Brazil, you received an Additional Conquest Permit and then helped…”
“This time I happen to be interested.”
Suddenly interested in what?
‘It must be because he’s angry at us over his parents being in danger. It has to be.’
While Yu Jeong-tae was making this assumption to himself, Jeon Jae-woo continued.
“Turkey might try to conquer the dungeon on their own without foreign help, and if I suddenly conquer it, there could be complications. That’s why I was hoping you could ask the Director instead.”
A cat worrying about the mouse’s situation?
‘That’s not the problem right now, you fool!’
Yu Jeong-tae took a deep breath and spoke.
“Hunter, please think about this carefully. There’s no telling how many more Breaks will occur. You should preserve your dungeon conquest attempts for the Ancient-rank Dungeon, shouldn’t you?”
“Director, dungeon conquest permits allocated to hunters are supposed to be left to the hunter’s discretion, aren’t they?”
“I didn’t mean it in any other way…”
Yu Jeong-tae stammered as he tried to persuade Jeon Jae-woo.
‘Damn it. I was foolish to bank on appealing to his sense of duty.’
If it were truly about the Dungeon Break, restrictions should be imposed on all hunters’ conquests.
But if such a restriction were specially placed on a strong hunter like Jeon Jae-woo, he would definitely rage.
“I understand, so couldn’t you at least conquer the dungeon allocated to our country first?”
“I want to conquer the Turkey dungeon as quickly as possible.”
……
What if Turkey or another country conquered the dungeon first in the meantime and he lost the Additional Conquest Permit?
At this point, Yu Jeong-tae felt like weeping openly.
If he only knew the details, he could at least understand. That would be something.
Not knowing why Jeon Jae-woo was so intent on conquering Turkey’s dungeon first was driving him to madness.
But there was no point in casting aside his pride and crying—nothing would change.
From his experience so far, appeals to emotion would never work on Jeon Jae-woo.
It seemed his mind was made up, so instead of resisting, the only thing to do was extract maximum benefit.
“…Then in exchange for connecting you with Turkey, would you grant me one favor?”
“A favor?”
“After you conquer Turkey’s Legend-rank Dungeon, please conquer the dungeon allocated to Korea right away.”
Jeon Jae-woo accepted Yu Jeong-tae’s request, and so the two men’s meeting concluded successfully (?).
***
After news of the dungeon allocation spread, Turkey, like its neighboring nations, fell into turmoil.
Turkey was evaluated as a nation with considerable hunter power in the world, to be sure.
But there was simply no way they could conquer an unconquered Legend-rank Dungeon on their own.
If they could gain such tremendous benefits from conquering a Legend-rank Dungeon, they would have done it long ago.
For a nation like Turkey to solo an unconquered dungeon that even powerhouses like China and India could only conquer by pouring all their strength into it was virtually impossible.
Turkey’s president, Kemal, spent all day in meetings with bureaucrats, trying to devise a strategy.
But even staying up through the night to discuss it, no satisfactory answer would emerge.
“Are you saying it’s impossible for Turkey to conquer the dungeon on its own?”
“It would be very difficult, Mr. President.”
The head of the Turkish Hunter Agency could not bring himself to say impossible and replaced it with the word difficult.
“How are negotiations for overseas support progressing?”
“We are doing our best to bring in S-rank Hunters from abroad.”
Meaning no country would actively help Turkey conquer the dungeon.
“Have we asked for help from South Korea? Hunter Jeon Jae-woo?”
Korea and Turkey, despite appearances, shared a long history as brother nations.
So the Turkish people were secretly hoping for Jeon Jae-woo’s aid, remembering their long ties.
Last time, he unexpectedly helped Brazil despite having no particular connection to Korea. Why couldn’t he help Turkey?
Yet the expression of the Turkish Hunter Agency’s director was dark.
“We have made continuous requests to the South Korean government, but we’ve received only silence. It appears the South Korean Hunter Agency has independently cut off access to Hunter Jeon Jae-woo.”
“……”
It seemed impossible now—not only would Jeon Jae-woo’s help never come, but even meeting him to discuss it was out of the question.
“How on earth did Brazil manage to bring Jeon Jae-woo into this?”
“According to reports, Brazil ceded all rewards from the Dungeon to Jeon Jae-woo and gave him an additional Conquest Permit as well.”
Had Turkey possessed a spare Additional Conquest Permit in reserve, he would have attempted contact; regrettably, Turkey had no such permit.
Even a superpower like Brazil barely possessed one—if that.
In any case, even a single permit would only see them through one crisis at most.
“Sigh……”
Kemal, Turkey’s president, exhaled a sigh that seemed to sink into the earth itself.
So Dungeon Conquest was impossible after all, and the best they could hope for was to prepare for damage control after the Break occurred?
The bureaucrats filed out of the meeting empty-handed, their discussion concluded.
And then, moments later, astonishing news reached the presidential palace of Turkey.
Jeon Jae-woo, South Korea’s sole Transcendent-rank Hunter, had expressed his willingness to assist in the Conquest of the Legend-rank Dungeon allocated to Turkey.
