Dungeon Reset

Stage -4's first dungeon, "The Forest of the Beast," was a "mediocre forest" just ahead of the Mountains of Death.

A land full of green dungeon beans and plenty of game.

Thanks to the ease of food supply, the niche villagers often went there to get food.

But in the dungeon, 'ordinary’ always carries risks.

This area is contiguous with rocky mountains and is dotted with dense caves, where dangerous beasts and monsters are always nesting.

What participants need to do is find the final site among those caves.

And killing the boss monster crouching there was the only way to attack the dungeon.

Kuang!

Finally, the final boss' heavy body sprinkles blood and falls to the ground.

The impact shakes the cavern as if it were collapsing.

“Here, I got you! ”

Participants' faces brightened.

“Shit, I almost died this time. This dungeon always makes people bleed dry! ”

There was a lot of blood on the man who was sitting on the floor, cursing violently.

“If only those bastards hadn't interfered! I would have done it sooner! ”

His gaze narrows and he turns to look at a group of participants gathered on the other side of the cave.

Then they did not avoid the eyes of the man as if they would not lose.

“Nu, who are you talking about! In the beginning, Seok Jeong-ho...! ”

“What, you bastard? What are you gonna do if you stare at me like that? I'll dig your eyes out! ”

Hmph.

They were the opponents who staggered to the power of 'Suk Jeong-ho' who glanced with a fierce expression.

The reason why the attack on the dungeon was particularly difficult was that the search for the ruins did not involve fighting the monsters.

It was because two factions formed between participants, which prevented them from concentrating their strength.

In fact, this was something that often happened in dungeons.

Ryu Seung-woo has experienced it, and the skill struggle between ordinary participants has also experienced it.

There were so many different armies, there was always a commotion.

And if even precious food is at the center of it, people's minds become softer and more sensitive.

Especially when the final boss was a big ‘bear’ like this one.

The Twin-Head Ogre, the king of beasts, is nearly five meters tall.

It had two heads, and unreasonable power and cuffs were a problem, but once I was out of breath, it was only meat without poison and a lot of lamb.

“Start slaughtering! ”

“Yes… yes…! ”

As Seok Jeong-ho shouted, the production workers who were waiting behind him rushed towards the final boss with a Huddak Butcher Knife.

But there was something unusual about it.

The slaughter was only for production jobs following the Seok Jeong-ho.

Contrary to that, the opposing faction does not deserve to plunder their food.

I arrived late at the ruins because of someone's interference.

Since they failed to contribute before the boss, they are not entitled to plunder the Final Boss' meat.

It's absolutely natural, of course. It was an implicit rule among the participants.

However, the problem was that 'someone’ who deliberately interfered with their movements was the stone lagoon.

“Hehe, if only he hadn't disturbed us! ”

“Hang in there, Seo-yeon. If you get excited, Seo-yeon will be dragged away as he wants. ”

“But you're upset. How many times has this been... ”

The participants who were next to Ji Seo-yeon, who were biting it with an angry expression, pulled it apart.

Seo-yeon Seok-ho and Seo-yeon.

They were constantly bumping into each other during the dungeon game.

If I've been looking at my face for months now, I can get to know him a little better, but the ferocity of Seok Jeong-ho has always been a problem.

A man who kills as many people as he wants to get food, and is not hesitant to commit atrocities to his achievements and items.

That was Seok Jeong-ho.

Of course, he was not a villain from the beginning, but he did not hesitate to give up his humanity in order to survive in the dungeon.

He was also harsh on the crowd following him.

“Insects! Can't you hurry up!? If the meat rots, I'll shove it all in your mouths! ”

“Yes, Seok Jeong-ho...! ”

The production workers' hands were even busier because of the continuous sweeping of the lake.

It was always like this.

Production jobs that did not help in combat were locked up by Seok Jeong-ho, being treated with insects.

But that was so harsh. There was nothing wrong with what he said.

Butchering is always time management.

After one hour of death, the meat begins to rot.

Especially since it was not a butcher shop with refrigeration facilities and was exposed to all kinds of germs.

Of course, if you put it in your belongings right away, it will stop for a while, but in order to slaughter it, you need to take it out again.

After the hunt was over, it was a quick task to separate the bones and flesh as soon as possible, and cook well to eat.

Knowing that, Seok Jeong-ho always scolded the ‘lazy’ production jobs and did not take care of the situation.

[Total Survivor Recovery]

“Ahh…! ”

Just when the silver powder came down, a sigh of relief came out of everyone's mouths as they restored the participants' condition to its peak.

But...

“Again, again! Look at these slowing hands again! If the power comes back, can't you move any faster!? ”

Angry!

“Oh, I see! ”

At the sound of Sukjeongho's shout, the production workers began slaughtering again.

Seok Jeong-ho had been feeling strange for a while.

The dungeon has been targeted, but the helper is not showing up.

In my experience, this usually automatically creates a Gate Mage and sends them to the next dungeon.

In the worst case, the group and their horns scatter.

“Hey, first cut out the light and hand it over to me. ”

He felt anxious, handing over the bear meat from the production workers and stuffing it into his belongings.

It wasn't cooked, but it was enough to catch the participants who were worth meeting later.

Paaaaaah!

That's when the Gate Mages were created beneath their feet.

“Oh, I see! It was a forced move.”

When his guess was right, Seo-yeon waved her hand toward the group, smiling furiously over there.

“Huhu, I'll see you then? Seo-yeon?”

“Just die. ”

Seo-yeon raised her middle finger with a cold expression.

However, Seok Jeong-ho smiled and said with a sly smile as if it was even funny.

“You're a bitch who talks back to adults. Huhu.”

Pa!

Seok Jeong-ho disappeared like that.

At that moment, almost simultaneously, Seo-yeon and all the participants disappeared from the cave.

…….

Suddenly, silence comes to the noisy ruins.

All that's left is the body of only half of the Twinhead Ogre.

[The dungeon will reset.]

Soon after, a small earthquake occurred on the ground as the reset began.

And it was shortly after that that that Jungdown arrived.

“Is this the right place? ”

[I'm sure. I must have sensed the magical flow of the Gate Mages over here a moment ago.]

“Can you feel that? ”

[Yes, I'm a fierce rabbit!]

Jungdown drags the armored gorilla golems into the ruins.

I knew the dungeon had already been attacked, but not all the monsters were dead.

Even on the way here, a lot of debris came rushing in and defeated them all.

“Oh, I think this is the right place. ”

[Ahem! What did I tell you?]

“But a man is dead. ”

He looks at the dead with a pitiful look on his face.

The rabbit frowns at the sight of red blood.

[Ugh, it looks like the wound killed the participant, not a monster.]

“Yeah. That big bear couldn't have been stabbed with a knife. What the hell happened? ”

[Hm. Half the battle, half the sights. Someone was killed trying to get in the way later, saying, "Get out of my way."]

“No, you can find out that much!? What's so specific about it? ”

Looking at it with a foolish look, the rabbit pretended to be the best.

[Hmm. You know what? Traces of battle contain a lot of information. If you watch a lot of fights like me, you can see this clearly.]

“You're the best. You won't be able to confirm it anyway, I'll just say so. ”

[sighs] Really? I can see how intense the battle was here. It was a total triple shock.]

“Yes, yes. ”

The rabbit keeps chattering as if it were unfair.

But what do you know about that? It was someone else's business anyway.

The only thing that interests him is the altar here.

For the rest of the group, it was just a piece of background behind the Ruins, like a paralytic.

“Found it.”

When he found the altar, he pulled out a hammer in front of him.

He slammed the floor in front of the altar without hesitation.

“Break the Stone! Break the Stone!”

Quack, quack!

With a hammer, the bottom of the cave cracks clean and the altar falls off.

“Then let's go back. Reset is almost done. Guys, take this. ”

“Kwah.”

It was a moment when the golems were just lifting up the altar.

[Huff! We're in trouble! Final boss has been reset!]

“Huh? Already? ”

The earthquake isn't over yet, so I'm a little careless, and the Final Boss appears sooner than I thought.

Turning your head in surprise, the corpse of Twin-Headed Ogre survives, spreading a nasty life towards you.

“Grrrrrrr!”

The roar of mourning echoes through the cavern.

The rabbit paid attention.

[Beware! If the outlaw in the sky is a universal eagle, Ogre is the king of the forest. Among them, Twinhead Ogres are the most dangerous!]

I was surprised to hear that it was similar to the Great Eagle.

“He's so dangerous!? ”

[Yes, he's very tough! And he's smart, so he knows how to use tools.]

The jeongdown was installed from the gate without a worry.

The dungeon attack is not the goal. What are you fighting for?

“Gate installed! ”

[Install the gate.]

Paaaaaah!

A golden aura overflows and a gate begins to form next to him.

But at that moment, the Twinhead Ogre felt something strange rushing at an incredible speed.

“Grrrrrrr!”

Bang, bang, bang!

“ ……! ”

Jungdown hurriedly dodges from there.

But he wasn't the one he was after.

The ogre's massive fist plunges down toward the gate.

Kuaang!

The gate is not properly installed and disappears.

His eyes widen.

“Huff, it was possible to smash the gate!? ”

[Yes! The fear of Twin-Head Ogres is their power, but they are magically immune so you can break skills with them!]

Gate skills were also a kind of magic after all.

As long as it meets the conditions, it can be destroyed.

“What a tough guy. ”

“Grrrrrrr!”

Twinhead Ogre is slowly approaching, cleverly blocking the retreat to prevent Jungdown from escaping.

“That's very clever. ”

He sticks his tongue to his cleverness.

I had to go deep into the cave to get the altar, but it was hard to get out.

The retreat has been completely blocked.

There were a lot of golems anyway, so we could just let them fight, but there was only one catch.

[What do we do? If the Golems encounter each other here, the cave could collapse in the aftermath.]

“What do I do? Phew, let's catch them as soon as possible. ”

You look down and move to find the torch hanging on the cave wall.

It's also a ruin site, so there are several torches hanging on the wall that illuminate the darkened interior unlike other caves.

Jungdown said.

“Turn off the lights. ”

At that moment, his shadow lingers, and a small shadow begins to move silently towards the torch.

Niyaang -!
