Level Up

< Mild twist >

Whoo-hoo!

There was a buzzing sound.

Players near the dungeon get up and approach the dungeon feeling a strange sensation.

“What is it?”

The dungeon was vibrating. I've never heard of anything like this, so everyone looked at it with strange eyes and a little bit of fear.

Then I stepped back slowly.

We don't know what's going to happen, so we'd better be careful.

The dungeons have not been properly understood and little has been studied.

Whoo-hoo!

A powerful wave of magical power erupts from the dungeon. It's like a reaction when you break the core of a dungeon and clear it.

However, the dungeon was intact despite such a magical surge. It was just a faint vibration.

“What's going on? ”

“Shouldn't we... report this first? ”

“I think we should. ”

One of the players took out his phone.

At that moment, another wave of magical power arose.

Whoo-hoo!

Phage job!

“Huh? What is this? ”

The phone that was exposed to the magic wave is puffy and turned off. No matter how much you press the power, it does not turn on again.

“It's broken. ”

“I'll do it. ”

Another player took out his phone. But it was also turned off.

“Huh? Mine too? ”

They all took out their empty phones. But none of it worked.

Even one of them was burnt out.

“This... I think I need to get out, right? ”

Everyone nods and rushes out of the building.

At the same time, the dungeon exploded.

Ewwww!

The black darkness is spreading everywhere.

The wooden building with the dungeon was completely destroyed.

Shhhhhhh!

A storm blows them all away. It was a magical storm of magical power.

Then two people appeared at the center of the explosion.

It was a stone and a stone.

Im Hyung-seok ran once because he had heard the word beforehand. After going through the situation with my body, I could recognize what Hyun-seok had said.

I was stuck in the dark for a while, so I didn't worry about getting caught once I ran to a place where I could hide.

‘That's scary. The whole building just blew up. ’

I don't know what happened, but I could see that this happened because of what Hyundai did last time.

However, Immortal Stone ran at a tremendous speed and threw away the stubborn distance with his fist.

On the way out, three mercenaries with broken bones came out of his fist.

On the other hand, the stone was much calmer.

I've been through it many times anyway. I've figured out how long this darkness lasts and where I can hide at the fastest speed.

Hyun-seok checked the direction of the runaway stone and nodded his head.

‘He's got a real sense of humor. ’

Im Hyung-seok was not researched in advance, but he was instinctively running to the place where he could hide his body the fastest.

The next thing he did was catch an artifact floating in the air.

A beautiful ring of polished gold and silver floats in the air.

The moment I grabbed it, a magical pulse arose.

Whoo-hoo!

The stride flew away as soon as the magical power spread.

The darkness fades away gradually.

* * *

Carlson hangs up the phone and sits idle for a while. Then I started laughing nonsense.

“This is it... It's so ridiculous, I can't speak. ”

The players have been eliminated and only the five players guarding the entrance have survived.

The dungeon disappeared because it was not enough.

That means someone went in and cleared the dungeon.

It's an individual dungeon. We don't know when it will be reborn. Maybe it never would have happened. Individual dungeons are like that.

What was important was that there was so much money, time and manpower that nothing was gained.

It was the first failure Carlson had led.

Most of Carson's work was done successfully. The work itself has never failed, although it has done something less than expected.

But it happened this time.

This has been very unpleasant from the very beginning. That's why I feel so dirty.

“What a...... shitty dungeon. It's ominous.”

It all began when I discovered the dungeon.

From the moment I got involved with the dungeon, things started to get tangled up.

The company was attacked by EMP, the vault was stolen from the representative board room, and Michael was wiped out from the dungeon.

Moreover, DM Chemical was not as clean as I expected. Of course, I had enough success, but I originally had to achieve much greater results.

Also, all the players who were thrown into the dungeon to catch Braindragons are dead.

“You're lucky you didn't send a lot of our players? ”

Initially, mercenary players were put in a large unit. It cost a lot of money to hire them, but it was no waste at all.

Individual dungeons are worth investing in.

Only 200 elite players who were last dispatched were players from Lexton Energy.

“200 people……. ”

On second thought, I was heartbroken. 200 people are never a small number.

Of course, considering the players or artifacts that Lexton Energy has, it wasn't much, but it wasn't small.

Once it looked like that, the damage was that bad.

The problem was that that wasn't all. It had nothing to do with this dungeon, of course, but it was as annoying as it was timely.

“Anyway, Korea is the problem. ”

It's all happening in Korea. The DMChemicals, the Dungeons, and the KKnights' Guild, which disappeared suddenly this time.

Carlson has privately created several guilds around the world.

They don't know Carlson's on top of them. I just knew there was a parent organization I couldn't oppose.

In South Korea, there were two other guilds in addition to the KKnights Guild.

The KNIGHTS Guild stood out the most. But this time they evaporated.

Probably died fighting somewhere. Or killed in a dungeon.

"Tsk. I'm annoyed that I can't use the company's information network because I'm secretly doing it. ’

The KNIGHTS Guild was becoming a wreck.

I ran from everywhere and ate like an angler, and I couldn't stand it.

Something important information about KKnights seems to have spread. Without it, the guild couldn't have been destroyed in vain.

Anyway, the KNIGHTS Guild is over. Now you have to build one of the other two guilds to fill it.

Carlson had a brief meeting about Korea.

‘Will you give up Korea for a while? ’

Taking a break when things aren't going well is not a bad choice.

But he shakes his head.

“I don't know where else, but Korea can't let that happen. ”

Move with caution and never let go of your hand, even if you keep your name.

There was a high probability of a special dungeon in Korea.

‘That's what Michael said. ’

Michael hardly cared about the company, although he was the CEO of Lexton Energy.

In fact, Carlson doesn't even know where he is right now.

But Michael will show up when he needs to. He was also the most important person in the company. Even if it doesn't work.

Carlson leans back to his chair and closes his eyes.

After a moment of cooling his head and chest, Carson opens his eyes again and picks up the phone.

“Don't withdraw, join the guild you live in. ”

After saying that and hanging up, Carson looks out the window. You can see the highway from over there.

And there were players wandering around. They were all players from Lexton Energy.

“Now... it's time to stop doing that." Nothing really... ever works. ”

I can't believe we're giving up on the guy who terrorized our headquarters and ran away. But now I can't help it.

I can't keep doing that no matter how much I talk about doing useless things.

Common sense is that we keep searching the high road for missing people there.

But Carlson thought it made sense. It was Carlson's instinct.

It was his hunch that he had never betrayed.

This was the first time that I felt wrong.

Carlson shakes his head thinking like that.

“No, my gut's not wrong. Something-- there must be some weird way I don't know. ”

There was so much more I didn't know about the dungeon than I still did. There was nothing strange about the fact that there was an artifact that could be used at that time.

Carlson picks up the phone. Anyway, it was time to end it.

“Yes. Withdraw them all. And put cameras nearby. Yeah, an unmanned camera. You don't need to be stationed. Let's just call it saving. How much do you want to set up? I can sweep the area thoroughly. You don't want to miss even one. ”

After finishing the call, Carson rubs his tired face.

Anyway, this is how it's going to end. This was enough for now. Not yet.

* * *

“Is there another fine dungeon? ”

Im Seung-seok muttered to himself as if Hyun-seok had asked him to listen.

“I wanted to fight dragons like that, but some people are having fun alone and don't want to leave anyone behind. That's why the old man in the back is such a pain. ”

When the old man in the back room heard it, he grabbed his neck and fell down, but he muttered freely.

However, Hyun-Seok was obsessed with his thoughts as he spilled his words in one ear.

What I was thinking about was the players who were in the nest of brain dragons earlier.

It was 200 players, and they were all great together. which is, of course, based on the current era.

There was no one above level 100. However, there were a handful of people who exceeded level 90.

It was only a matter of time before I reached level 90.

It was also possible because I had been to the horse system twice.

This means that they have been leveling up extremely quickly since the beginning of the dungeon.

There were 200 of them.

Besides, what about the artifacts they were wearing? They were hard to find in a regular dungeon.

That's a lot of power. But I didn't think that was all.

What the hell is Lexton Energy? ’

Before regression, it was a company that wrinkled the world. But now that I see it, I had to do it.

It means that if you have this kind of power and can't do that, you're an idiot.

His expression was stiff. It seemed like it was going to be hard.

‘You have to be stronger faster. ’

And the essence of magical power must be solved quickly.

I have a lot of work to do, but I only have one body, so I was in a hurry.

Hyun-seok suddenly looked at the limestone grumbling constantly next to him.

“Did you say you wanted a hot dungeon? ”

Im Hyung-seok's face brightened.

“Is there another place like that? Hey, what are you doing? Not so fast. ”

Im Hyung-seok was excited and went ahead. Hyun-Seok shakes his head, looking at such a stone.

But he soon smiled.

“I have to go back one more time. This time... I think I can go to a more rigid place. ”

I wonder if Im Hyung-seok would like it that much even if he went there?

But I wasn't curious. You'll find out soon enough.

The stepping of the stone on the way home was lighter.

It's a relief to have a trusted colleague.
