Level Up

Hyun-seok slowly opened his eyes. I saw a strange but familiar ceiling.

Now he was lying on his old studio bed when he was young.

I used my eyes right before I lost them, and then I remembered that I moved to a place where I could live without seeing.

That's when I remembered the person who helped me with both sides of the water.

He made a bitter face. But soon my eyes lit up.

“It's not over yet, is it? ”

He ended up dead in a dungeon. But that hasn't happened yet.

It means you can change it as much as you want.

It was such a blessing to have someone in my life I could trust no matter what.

And Hyun-seok now has one such person. Unless he dies in the near future.

Hyungseong, who woke up from his seat, looked around the room.

When I came home yesterday, I felt really overwhelmed.

I woke up and had a long dream for some reason. But it was never a dream.

“First... we need to figure out the situation and get things done." ”

The stone was roughly washed and dressed.

It's time to go see the new people you made friends with yesterday, or put them down.

Maybe they won't keep their promises.

But it didn't matter. No, I was hoping it would.

“It takes a few hot tastings to sober you up. ”

I've heard about Changsoo a few times in the past. Of course, it was a long time ago, so I had a vague memory.

Anyway, the story I heard was definitely not good. After repeating the same thing, even the rumors disappeared at some point.

Changsoo soon disappeared from the world.

But this time it will be different. whether it's good luck or bad luck.

Hyun-seok left the house. Then I looked around the studio building with my poor eyes.

A house with a lot of memories. But it's also a place where there's no need to be foolish anymore.

After seeing enough studios, he turned calmly.

There will probably be no coming back to this house.

Dungeon Management Center.

Hyun-seok paused to look at the large building coming at him from a distance.

I thought I had roughly settled all my feelings and thoughts, but seeing that building, I felt a new feeling.

It was a place where everything related to the dungeon could be handled. All players had to register there to do the right thing.

But that's not true. Not all players actually enrolled in the Management Center. There were even unregistered players. Of course, they were players who did unfair activities.

The fossil entered the building.

I came here today to sell horseshoes from mutant thunderdragonflies.

The size of the stone that came out this time was considerable.

‘The market price was about.... ’

Just before he died, about 20 years from now, it was about 10 million won.

However, at that time, the market price was low because it was so common that it was not at the beginning.

Currently, the market price was skyrocketing because supply was off the charts.

About 100 million? ’

The market price for the stalls was high. The correlation between the stable and the water table has not yet been properly studied.

Therefore, the chances of obtaining the cobblestone from the corpse of the beast itself were quite low.

The slaughtering process itself was important, though it was also important to capture the horseshoe.

If you don't slaughter properly, the magical power contained in the stable will just scatter.

It transforms the stone into one of the ordinary organs of a horse.

It has been at least three years since these things have been properly studied and the supply of the quartermaster has stabilized. It was still a time when I didn't even feel the need for research.

That's why Hyun-seok was really important at this time.

‘It's time to make more money and build the right foundation. ’

And it really took a lot of money to get the big plan done right.

He hesitated for a moment as he entered the building.

I went to the Dungeon Management Center so many times that I couldn't even get a head start, but it was mostly after I lost my sight.

It's been a long time since I've seen it with my own eyes.

‘And…… the structure is much different from what I used to know. ’

There has been a difference over 20 years. Of course, the internal structure was very different.

Moreover, Hyun-seok's management center has not yet been built.

This was literally the earliest dungeon management center.

‘This building has...... lasted for about a decade? ’

Ten years later, the building itself does not exist. I don't know anything else, but I definitely remember it.

When the building was destroyed, Hyunhyun was also on the scene here.

Hyun-seok lost his memory and looked around.

There were a very large number of people in the hall. Some were busy, some were relaxed. Some were sitting at the right table, drinking coffee.

Hyun-Seok once again puts all the sights in his eyes, then slowly walks to the room at the right end of the hall.

Inside the Dungeon Management Center was a very simple structure.

There is a huge hall, and the door runs open like a semi-circle around it.

In front of every door was a line of people waiting.

Each room had a manager who helped with everything about the player.

Apparently, there were a lot of players who didn't want to disclose Dungeon related matters, so even this counseling or management was confidential.

The sparrow finally narrowed down and stood in front of the room with no one waiting.

It was quick to know whether or not there was a consulting player in the door.

After a while, the player leaves the room. Hyun-seok passes through him and enters the room and closes the door.

The room was very simple. There was a window, and a chair in front of it. It was a soft couch.

Hyun-seok skillfully sat down on the couch.

The manager in the window politely asked.

“Hello, what brings you here?" ”

Hyun-seok took the stable stone out of his arms and placed it in front of the window.

The manager who confirmed the stable stone took out a magnifying glass and looked around at the stable stone.

His magnifying glass was one of the sheer artifacts from the dungeons, a magical measuring device.

“1253 horsepower. You'll need to check the exact details separately, but the current rate will be a little over 100 million, minus the fees. ”

Hyun-seok gave out a card. It was a pre-prepared bank card.

“Half come here. The other half are materials. ”

The manager glows with the word ingredient. The players who were buying the materials knew that they were very special.

Hyun-seok handed out a prepared note. The names and exact quantities of the ingredients were carefully organized.

The eyes of the manager who confirmed it glowed even more strangely.

“This...... is a lot of materials in stock, even though it's not used well. Are you running some new experiments? ”

Hyun-seok waved his hand instead of the answer. I asked you to take care of it.

The manager once again stood up and went inside.

The inside of the counsel room leads to a large warehouse. It was connected to all the windows, and there was a separate staff who managed them, so they were able to immediately address the player's requirements.

The demand for stone was also immediately addressed.

The reappeared manager holds a large leather bag. Inside the bag was a bag full of materials that were craving for stone.

He placed all the ingredients in his bag on the table and carefully checked them.

After confirming, you nod, put the ingredients back in your bag, and take your card and go outside.

After Hyun-seok left, the manager muttered to me.

“You must be a novice player if you look at your personality...... You pretend to be an expert. All the good looking beginners die early. ”

When it was over, the door opened again and the next guest came in. The manager wiped his face and greeted the guest officially.

* * *

Hyun-seok smiled.

“Well, maybe it looks that way. ”

The manager mutters to himself, but he hears very clearly in the ears of the stone.

It was fortunate that almost all the senses that were sensitive to him remained intact.

This will be a big weapon in the future.

“Here's another weapon. ”

Hyun-seok grins as he puts his bag over his shoulder.

Returning to the past is consistent with knowing the future.

Though it had not yet been developed, he knew things that would be great discoveries or inventions to shake the world in the future.

Of course, you can't make it all up. There are clearly limits to the knowledge that Hyundai possesses.

But there were also a lot of very simple and useful things.

In the future, we all know common sense, but now the knowledge that is the key to moving forward in the world has been immensely placed in the minds of Hyundai.

“Let's start with this. ”

Hyun-seok strokes the bag across his shoulders. You can't do anything with these materials alone. But if one were added to this, I could make a great thing.

One was the eyes of a mutant thundering dragonfly.

“So...... shall we go catch the Thunder Dragon? ”

Of course, it was not easy to catch a Thunder Dragon by yourself right now.

That's why I needed help. Hyun-seok was on his way to meet his assistants.

In front of the Dungeon Management Center, there was a huge street. This side was always crowded, so the shops were always going well.

Hyun-Seok entered the coffee shop and settled down. I didn't just come from anywhere. This was the place I had an appointment with.

“You're not here yet? Well, it's gonna take some time to get here. ”

Hyun-seok laughed. Probably couldn't help but come. I won't keep time, of course.

When I checked the time, it was three hours after my appointment time. It was also very late.

He casually placed the coffee on the table and revisited the plan in his mind.

How long has it been? The eyes of the stone sparkled.

“Finally. ”

Hyun-seok turned his head and looked out at the street outside the coffee shop. Choi Changsoo rushes in from afar.

His face was filled with urgency and desperation.

“That's why people keep their promises. ”

Hyun-Seok said so and laughed.

Soon the door opened and Choi Changsoo jumped inside. And I looked around with shaking eyes.

Choi Changsoo, who met Hyun-seok, sighed for relief. Then, I jumped to the front of the stone.

Choi Changsoo stared at him like he was going to kill him.

There was tension between the two.

The End
