Level Up

< people looking for a sign >

“Phew. I almost died. ”

Ryu Ji-hye sat on the floor and sighed of relief. Then Ryu Hye-yeon sat next to her with a big smile.

Ryu Hye-yeon was not happy with the fact that she could move so vigorously with her sister.

Even if it means risking your life like it is now.

“Sis, I think I just leveled up again. I had a feeling. ”

Already?

I looked at my brother with bored eyes. Ryu Hye-yeon's talent was stunning.

It's only been six months since I woke up as a player, and I've already almost caught up with myself.

Liu Ji-hye had worked hard so hard to reach level 50, so it was a genius talent that was not enough to say it was truly enormous.

I can't believe this talent was lying in bed just waiting for the day to die.

‘Maybe… that's why it's better……. ’

Perhaps the mind itself is more desperate because it has always lived beside death and guilt. And that desperation is giving water and fertilizer to the flower of talent.

Ryu Hye-yeon quickly wrapped her arms around Ryu Ji-hye's eyes, and uttered an eloquent word.

“Aigoo, I see it with those eyes again. I'm really strong now. This time, it'll probably be level 43. I don't have to look at you like that anymore. ”

Ryu Hye-yeon smiled as she said so. Even Ryu Ji-hye, a sister, was fascinated by the same woman with a pretty smile.

“Okay, I didn't mean to upset you. Does this look like it to you? It's jealousy, jealousy. ”

Ryu Hye-yeon smiled brightly at the words "jealousy."

“Hahaha! You can be as jealous as you want. I'm jealous of someone now. I've always been jealous. ”

Ryu Ji-hye almost looked sad again for a moment. But I held on tight. He stroked his brother's head quietly.

“My brother is a big boy now. I don't need your hands anymore. ”

“Oh, that's not it. We still need ten more years. ”

“I don't think I'll meet a nice guy in three years and see her again. ”

Ryu Hye-yeon smiled and glanced at Ryu Ji-hye's chest.

“No? I'm going to live with you my whole life. ”

“I hate it! I'm gonna meet a nice guy and I'm gonna live my life! ”

After saying that, Ji-hye suddenly remembered one person. I left the Dungeon Management Center because of him, and I was able to have a happy time thanks to him.

But in the last six months, he hasn't even called.

‘You can tell me if he's alive or dead. ’

Ryu Hye-yeon tightened her arms, trying to smile brightly, because Ryu Hye-yeon's face was slightly blurry.

“Sis, do you think of him? ”

“No, why should I think about him? ”

“Really? I think about it every day these days. ”

“What?"

Ryu Ji-hye was surprised and looked at her. After seeing Ryu Hye-yeon's playful little smile, I fed her a little honey balm.

“Is this guy making fun of you? ”

“Ow! I'm not making fun of you. I really remember every day. So…. ”

“So?”

“I asked you to find out. ”

Ryu Ji-hye's expression remained solid.

“What does that mean? Be precise and specific. ”

Ryu Hye-yeon was embarrassed by her sudden change in attitude.

“Hey, sis……. ”

Ryu Ji-hye shook her head.

“I'm not angry. It's important. What did you do? ”

Ryu Hye-yeon said in a crawling voice.

“So...... you know that grandpa. ”

“Grandpa?”

“Th-that I met in Jongno... ”

Ryu Ji-hye's eyes widened. I realized who Ryu Hye-yeon met.

"The Yellow Man? No, but how? ’

Ryu Hye-yeon hurriedly added as if she knew the question of Ryu Ji-hye.

“He gave me his number back then. Call me if you have any questions. ”

Ryu Ji-hye looked at her with a silly eye.

Ryu Hye-yeon shrugged her neck.

“I didn't know who he was, so I just thought he was...... He's very famous this way. You said that. So... ”

Ryu Ji-hye was absurd, but what should I do? What's already happened.

“So what did he say? ”

Ryu Ji-hye asked the question, and a little expectation came to mind.

“So, what did you say.... ”

* * *

“You've been hiding really well. You didn't go abroad, did you? ”

“I don't think so. I've contacted the smuggling agency, but there's no sign of him crossing over. ”

Of course, there were no signs of a normal passageway. So it was impossible for him to disappear for this long without a trace since he was in the country.

“Something wrong with our intelligence? ”

“No. Rather, they've grown so rapidly that the information is no longer following us. ”

The old man frowns. Gathering all this information together leads to only one conclusion.

“You didn't... die in a dungeon, did you? ”

“Perhaps…… that's the best chance. ”

“No way...... I'm not going to go that easily..." ”

The old man, who was shaking his head for a moment, glanced at the man with a glance.

“How are the Chilseongs doing these days? ”

“They're certainly persistent. We're keeping a subtle angle on our side and continuing our pursuit. ”

“Really? But Kang Jung-tae is never so pleasant. Keep an eye on it and clean it up. Don't forget to be careful. ”

The man bows politely. But I couldn't help but get a bitter smile.

The Chilseongs are not in the mood. It couldn't have been easy to establish an opposition with such Chilseongs.

During the six months of organizing, concealing, and erasing information on quartz, there were a significant number of informants who were secretly and unknowingly involved with the Chilseongs.

If you translate the damage into money, it was impossible to calculate.

‘Sir...... I think you have the wrong feeling this time. ’

Of course, even though the organization was heading in the wrong direction, it did not intend to disobey the elderly man's orders.

But one day, when the right time comes, we will have to stop this work. When that time comes, he will take the first step and insist more strongly than anyone else that he will give up his work.

‘I'm sure you'll understand. ’

That was one of the reasons a man followed an old man for over 20 years.

“How are the new breeders? ”

Kim Sang-woo answered Kang Jung-tae's question with tense eyes.

“It's not that great. ”

“Tsk, I knew the Reddocks were legit. ”

The Red Dog is not great, but Ju Kyung Chul, the master of Red Dog, is great.

The Red Dog Guild has almost single-handedly made Ju Kyung Chul. But now that he's gone, there's no one to blame.

I spent a lot of money to recruit new players, but I was not very good at it.

“We don't have much time. Money smells like shit, but I don't know when it's gonna blow. So we have to be prepared. ”

“I'll keep that in mind, sir. ”

“Yes. By the way...... What happened to him? You still haven't found him? ”

“Yes, sir, I don't. ”

“Hmm. It's taking too long... How's Jongno doing?" Are you still there? ”

“Yes. I looked into it a bit, and I think he has a request for this on the Jongno side. ”

“Quest? How much money did you spend on a quest that's been bothering us for six months? You wouldn't be much of a victim, would you? ”

“Yes, that's right. They're bigger and smaller than we are. You must have suffered a lot of damage. ”

“But there is something about holding it all the way to the end.... ”

Kang Jung-tae thought about something for a moment and then shook his head.

“You said you were looking for him, right? ”

“Yes. It's undisclosed, it's moving in secret, but it's obvious. ”

After six months of fierce fighting with Jongno's intelligence organization, the Chilean faction has now risen considerably.

So, I couldn't have guessed it before, but I could have guessed it as dull as this.

“Jongno's inspiration is still known to the informants. It's the best in the country. I haven't seen one of those in six months. What do you think this means? ”

Kim Sang-woo immediately replied. It was something I had been thinking about for a long time, but I didn't have any other orders, so I was just moaning inside.

“This is exactly what it looks like to die in a dungeon, sir. ”

“Or six months in a dungeon. You think that's possible? ”

Kim Sang-woo thought for a moment and cautiously opened his mouth.

“If that's...... Whitehall by listening...... I don't think it's impossible at all. ”

“Whitehall... you said you didn't enter a dungeon managed by the center, right? ”

“Yes, sir. ”

“That means...... you went into a separate dungeon, but that's Whitehall? Have you ever heard of a separate Whitehall? ”

“Nothing.”

“Fold.”

“Yes?”

“Stop looking for vegetable stones or something. ”

“Well, would that be all right, sir? ”

“Instead, don't show up. ”

Looking at him as if he didn't know what Kim Sang-woo was talking about, Kang Jung-tae said with an impression.

“Don't get caught on Jongno's side. It should still look like we're looking for him. ”

“Ah! I see what you mean. We'll get right on it, sir. ”

Kang Jung-tae waved his hand with an annoying face.

When Sang-woo Kim said hello and disappeared, his annoying face disappeared and turned cold and scary.

“If you screw me like this, you'll pay for it. I'm gonna rip that old man's throat out. ”

* * *

A dark, long hallway that does not have a single point of light in it. If someone were standing in the middle of this hallway, they would not see anything.

At the end of the dark corridor, a faint light began to flow out.

The white vortex is where the light comes from.

Shining from the vortex, which is also the entrance to the White Dungeon, was also a sign that the entrance was open.

It glows like this when someone comes out or goes in.

The light became stronger.

And someone pops out of the vortex.

Pabababak!

A beam of light appeared on the ceiling of the hall. The whole hallway lit up.

The man coming out of the vortex slowly looks around.

The appearance of the stone was uncanny. The clothes I was wearing turned into a rag.

Fast.

My clothes were scattered to dust. Then Hyun-seok scratched his head.

“Is this Gangnam out here? I don't think I can go out like this.... ”

The embarrassment on the face of the stone was young. If you go to Gangnam naked, you will be able to become famous.

It was difficult.

“Don't you have anything to wear... ”

Hyun-seok searched the subspace list hard. But I couldn't find anything useful.

The embarrassment on his face became darker.

Anyway, after six months, Hyun-seok came back. On the horse.

The End
