Level Up

Larry takes five players from Lexton Energy to a new black market.

“The black market of the vortex. After the name... ”

Larry didn't like the black market name either.

Usually, the name of the black market is formed by mouth-to-mouth rather than by someone making it up.

Most of them are named after the region in which the black market is located or after the owner of the black market.

Some exceptions were the Pyramid Black Market, the Black Sea of China, and the impending Emperor Tower of Lexton Energy.

In fact, it is useless if they don't call me by my name.

Pyramid Black Market or Chinese Black Sea succeeded there. There's only one reason: they have power. And I've come to see a name that suits me.

In fact, Larry was not complaining about the name of the vortex black market itself. It was not a complaint, it was anxious.

Behind them, it was clear that there was a future industry. I feel anxious about the future industry.

The future industry has hit the market with massive aggressive marketing.

Now Ferrain Eggis, which is produced by the future industry, is really selling well.

Production was always lacking because it did not keep up with sales volume.

Ferrain Eggis is now a must-have for players.

That's it. Healing potions and power-up kits were also a necessity for players.

Of course, power-up kits are useful for low-level players.

I still couldn't tell you the benefits of the power-up kit. Especially in guilds or organizations that want to grow, they have accumulated a lot.

When you recruit a new member of the organization, it's a quick way to grow him.

Healing potions were even more useful It's like carrying a bee's life at any level.

Given the growing number of players, the volume of healing potions will continue to increase and will never decrease.

However, Healing Potions and Power-Up Kits are nothing compared to Ferrain Exgis.

Ferrain Eggis was not only effective for players.

Even though Ferrain Eggis' prices were not that low, none of the ordinary people didn't use them.

It was almost addictive.

If I don't use it, I can feel the difference with my body. How can I not be addicted?

Of course, that didn't mean that Ferrine Eggs was addicted. People were just addicted to the power it gave them.

With only a small amount of strength and stamina, if it weren't for that, it would have been a real mess.

After all, the vortex black market was rumored to be operating as a sponsor of such a future industry.

That's why Larry wanted to come and see for himself.

“Don't everyone relax. ”

“Yes, don't worry. We don't do this once or twice. And frankly, I'm not here to do anything. Weren't you just taking a tour? ”

“Well, I don't... ”

I didn't come here to do anything special today, I just meant scouting.

Though, of course, I thought I'd see a lot more than anyone else using the Vortex black market.

“There.”

“I don't think there's a black market here. ”

“Yes, it's really strange to hear about people who have been there. They didn't understand how it was possible. ”

Larry thought he couldn't make any decisions until he saw it with his own eyes and felt it with his own body.

They enter the building where there is a black market.

“The building is shabby, but the interior is pretty good. ”

There were a lot of people coming and going. To be honest, I felt like a shopping mall or a department store rather than a black market.

In fact, there were large lobbies on the first floor, as well as small fast food shops, coffee shops, or souvenir shops around the area.

There was an escalator going up to the second floor in the middle, but apparently there was also a restaurant on the second floor.

But it was quick to see that this wasn't a typical shopping mall. Most of the people walking around were players.

“That's very unusual. ”

“What's unusual about it? It's a form of camouflage, isn't it? ”

It may seem that way. Larry, however, seems to have made more of an effort to get people involved than a disguise.

“Can the black market do this? ”

Larry tilts his head. However, the black market is an illegal place.

So we need to take a break and get some eggs. But there was no black market here in the vortex.

There has been an enormous promotion among players that no one already knows.

Even the ordinary people knew this place pretty well. It had a slightly broader effect on the area of promotion.

Larry leads the players up. The real black market started on the third floor. It was also learned through the promotion of the Vortex black market.

The second floor was also a restaurant. There was a star-studded restaurant. There were almost as many franchise restaurants as there were.

At this point, I was confused whether this was a black market or somewhere else.

Larry takes a quick look at the second floor and climbs up the escalator.

The atmosphere was different from the second floor from the third floor. There is a wide hole, and the door stands fixed around the end of the hall.

It was a floor that consisted solely of holes and rooms. Of course, there were people coming and going in the hall.

“I don't think they're even players. Isn't it?”

“I don't think I can see it. ”

The problem was that they didn't even look like they could afford anything on the black market.

A group of five or six come dressed as if they were visiting. They open a visit and go inside.

Larry looks odd. It reminds me of the information I heard before I came here.

“Looks like there are real people coming here to play. Does that make sense? ”

I didn't believe it when I saw the information, but it was happening right in front of me.

“Do you really think if you go inside, you'll see a whole different world? A place with good air and good water? And a magnificent castle? ”

Larry mutters with a bloody smile. Honestly, when I heard that information, I rebelled.

But when I came here, I realized that it was a bit exaggerated.

There was not enough room for such things.

“Maybe if you go into that room, you'll find a passageway to the basement. Or the roof.”

But not the roof. If there was such a space on the roof, the Lexton energy satellite wouldn't have been able to capture it.

“Let's go inside. You have to see it with your own eyes, no matter what. ”

Larry nods at the player's words and picks one of the many doors to enter.

The room looked so unexpected.

“What is this? ”

It was ridiculous. It wasn't that big. In the middle of it stands a door.

It was also a door attached to a wall made of red bricks.

“Does that mean you want me to open it? ”

It was literally a door against a wall. Larry approaches and looks around the door.

“Do you think this makes sense? Maybe he knew we were coming, so he set a trap. ”

It was worth thinking about. It's just a door in the middle of the room.

“First... should I go in?" ”

Yeah, that's what it said on the door. Don't be afraid. Go inside.

I was even more embarrassed when I opened the door. A wall of red bricks stands.

“So... you want me to put my head against that wall? ”

The player standing behind steps forward smiling bitterly.

“I'll go first. ”

He walks through the open door. I closed my eyes just before touching the wall.

And he slipped inside.

“Ugh! What the hell! ”

“It's gone!”

“Could this be an artifact from the space travel family? ”

Everyone looks at the red brick wall that swallowed his colleague in a daze.

But for a moment, the rest of the players disappeared into it.

Larry takes a serious look at the wall for a while.

I put my palm against the wall. And at that moment, I was dragged into the wall.

I immediately pinged in front of my eyes.

When I came to my senses, there was an entirely different world.

Larry looks around. You see your colleagues standing nearby.

And I see a myriad of doors set up nearby. Each room of the building was connected to this place like this.

“What the hell is going on.... ”

When I looked up at the sky, I felt so blue that I lost my sense of reality. It's like entering a dungeon.

‘But not a dungeon. ’

I can assure you of that. This is not a dungeon. If it's a dungeon, people like that can't just barge in and walk around.

Larry looks around. The fields were wide open. They are standing on a hill, and you can see the castle from afar.

“Fantastic. Where the hell am I? ”

Larry walks toward the castle, muttering like that. The castle was surrounded by moats and water was flowing through the moats.

After arriving at the moat in front of the castle, Larry looks down at the moat. Then, in a panic, he took a step back.

“What's the matter? ”

“There's... water in there. ”

“Yes? Is that a horse? No way. Marsu can't come out of a dungeon. ”

The man said so, approaching the moat, and then angrily startled, he retreated.

There really was a shovel. Somehow, it seemed like the man knew about it.

“This... looks like something I know." I think we'll be safe if we don't get in the water. ”

Everyone stared blankly at the moat.

Larry looks at the moat like that and suddenly feels creepy looking at him.

The bush that fills the field seems to be moving strangely. And there was definitely something in between.

‘It can't be...... that there's no water running around here, right? ’

Larry shakes his head.

‘That's a ridiculous assumption. ’

Of course, I will report this properly.

That way, Carlson can come up with a plan.

‘I don't think... stopping it will be easy.' ’

Larry looks up at the magnificent castle and thinks so.

Now it's hard to stop the vortex black market. Perhaps if you open the gates of the Emperor Tower, you'll have to compete really hard with this place.

Why does it matter what you look like? Goods matter. '

It didn't take Larry a few minutes to change his mind. Things couldn't have been bad. They were originally preparations for the Emperor Tower.

By properly washing, of course.

* * *

Hyundai ran while moderately controlling the speed. I told him to send a signal if he couldn't keep up, but he probably won't.

We're only speeding up enough to catch up.

It was usually the most difficult person to lead because it was to go through places where there was absolutely no road.

But they were much more difficult to follow.

It was natural that Hyundai did not use all his strength, and the rest did.

Ryan was the only one who could spare a little while chasing the speed of the current stone.

Ryan follows you closely to the side of the stone. I feel like I shouldn't just follow them like this.

“Are we going the right way? ”

“Roughly.”

“Roughly?”

The streetscape was just running toward what Kerens pointed at. If Kerens is very well-oriented, running here should get you there.

But it can't be true.

Even if the angle is slightly twisted, the difference is enormous from far away.

How do you get to the right destination when you run roughly in the direction you took it?

“I think it will make a lot of difference.... ”

“But it's faster than going back far. ”

Ryan looks a little confused by what Hyundai has to say. But soon, I nodded.

“We're players. ”

High-level player. Senses are completely different from normal people.

Moreover, there is a summoned number of dragons for Hyundai.

Perhaps if you just flew up to the dragon and checked its location, you can quickly find it.

‘By the way...... If you explain it properly, where will it go? ’

Ryan grunts and takes a step back. It is much more difficult to run alongside the stride in front of you. I have to clear all the obstacles in front of me.

That way, the group arrives at the city that Kerens mentioned. By summoning a dragon once.

The End
