00434 Rage.
The beginning was minor.
One clan in the western city went on an expedition into the uncharted west, never to return. There can be many reasons. You could have lost your life fighting monsters, been ambushed by vagrants, or fall into a trap.
Anyway, it's a small thing. It may be a big thing, but it's rare in the world of Hall Plain.
However.
This little incident began to grow over time.
The Victim Clan, confirmed missing, has reached out to the city's representative clan for help. A representative clan that accepted their request formed a primary rescue unit and deployed to uncharted territory.
But they never came back.
The main clan then expanded to form a second wave of rescue units and sent them back. However, after they also entered the mountains, they were cut off from contact at some point. It was natural that they would not return either.
At this point, the main clan recognized the seriousness of the problem. One or two users also began to pay attention to this minor incident.
No, it was no longer a minor case. They're not regular caravans, and we've lost all contact with the rescue workers from the regular clans.
Eventually, the representative clans found it difficult to solve the case on their own, leading to the release of the incident across the North. It attracted the attention of users and attracted voluntary help.
The reactions of users were hot. For the last two years, they were users of North Korea who had not even seen the ruins' nostrils. Because in one of the clans in the southern city of Monica, the remnants of the ruins were swept away. In such a long time, an undiscovered area with a suspicious energy remained sufficient to arouse the attention of users.
Since then, there has been a storm of ruins in the North. Users who are familiar with Gore suddenly begin to be favored. It was only a matter of time, of course, but they turned on the lights and searched and investigated the area where the incident occurred.
And after a long time, a mythological record of the region was revealed. The record was literally a myth of a legend of an ancient era that was obscure in the ancient hall plane.
The Great War.
Dragons who once ruled the entire continent and inhabitants who despised them. And the inhabitants who rebelled against the control of the dragons and waged an independence war.
The area was where the dragon and its inhabitants fought their final battle, where the dragon Magna Carta met its end.
The residents who later found the world's sovereignty called it the "Sleeping Mountains."
Users were even more excited when a record of plausible myths appeared. In light of what the records say, we started to think of the "suspicious area" as the "area where the ruins are likely to exist." As a result, all users began to observe the 'Sleeping Mountains'.
Despite the life-threatening silence of the users, those wishing to make a fortune quickly organized expeditions and caravans. Someone left the expedition in a hurry to dig up the ruins first.
The calmer users were watching what was going on. I quietly researched, gathered, and stockpiled resources for the area. And as soon as I was convinced it was possible, I left the expedition.
Time has passed, and the unfortunate reality that no one has anticipated is coming.
Morbidity rate 10.2%.
It was a figure representing statistics of users who came back alive to challenge the 'Dragon Sleeping Mountains'. In other words, 89.8% of users who left the expedition did not return.
The 10.2% that was born was not exploring the ruins, but the users who left to gather information about the entrance to the mountains returned. In other words, the rate of rebirth for deep internal users was 0%.
Despite the announcement of this extreme rate of return, users' interest in the 'Sleeping Mountains' did not consider the expression. Despite the lack of finesse and exploration as it was for the first time, the journey to the mountains has not ceased due to users who have not given up their dreams.
And it's been months since the heat started.
The 'Dragon Sleeping Mountains' remained undiscovered.

“I didn't expect to fail at the mercenary. It must be hard for the dragon to sleep in the mountains. ”
“Well, don't you think it's a little early to tell me that we failed at the machinery? I heard some fisherman went on a Caravan quest. I didn't come here to explore, to protect you. ”
The crystal that was just coming down the stairs stopped without my knowledge. Looking down at the floor below Sulfiti, I saw two men and women sitting at the window table talking about Dorado. The crystal quietly increased his hearing.
“Is that so? Most of the records these days tell the story of the Mercenary Clan. Quest failures, missing pneumatologists, etc. The placenta is negative. ”
“That's because it's a popular clan. Honestly, since the Machinery wiped out the ruins, there have been a lot of users who haven't looked at them well, right? I'm starving. Then I caught one. ”
“Heh heh. Me, too, actually. I have to share the good stuff, but seeing as how they and the Alliance clans only share, my stomach aches. ”
“See, I knew it. And why share the good stuff? Of course, they have their abilities, so there's nothing to say. People in my country don't look like they're doing well. ”
The woman gives you a pinglass with a snapping voice, and the man grins and scratches his head. The two men and women, who were talking for a while, soon crossed their arms and headed to the door like a loving couple.
Daughter.
Soon I heard the sound of the door opening and the head of the frozen crystal barely came to my senses. The table in the window where the lover was sitting was suddenly empty.
“Ha…. ”
Suddenly, the crystal sighed a long time. Then he took a step that wouldn't fall and forced himself down the stairs. It was then.
Sweetheart! Sweetheart!
“Huh. Sis? Crystal!”
Once again, a familiar voice strikes the crystal's ear with a loud door opening.
The crystal glances back at the door in a curious mood. And the moment I saw the anxious look on my face, I felt a little lively in my confused eyes.
“Hee Seon...? ”
“Sister!"
When the crystal called Najjik's name, the woman called Chosun quickly approached. Then he grabbed the crystal and whispered with a crying voice.
“Sis... Sorry... I heard the news... I'm sorry..."
“Why are you sorry.... It's all my fault... ”
“But I didn't want to ask... All my sister's colleagues... ”
“It's okay. It's okay. Let's just sit down. Don't cry, okay? ”
However, the tears do not stop, and the crystal gently calms and drags her to the window table.
Soon, the crystal sat across from the other seat and stared at the sigh of happiness.
Song Hee Seon, a second-year user this year with experience as an actor in the modern world. She was also a colleague who finished the rites of passage with Crystal, and she was also a sister who got along well with each other.
Both of them also pledged to join in the hall plane, but they crossed paths at the user academy.
Technically, the academic grades of crystals and whites were below average. Not even non-combat users, but not good enough to spill information from the clan.
However, after graduating from the user academy, Wheeler received an offer from a large clan called the Southern Freedom Union (a large coalition created by several medium-sized clans), as opposed to the revision not receiving an offer from any class. It was rumored that there was also an actor from the coalition who entered the network.
The two of them were on different paths, but the communication remained constant.
The crystal considers her almost a savior. When I first came out to Hole Plain, I was stunned, because I could use a little help from the dedicated sacrifice of charity. When he had no money, he sent me the money I had, as well as some basic weapons and armor. From time to time, simple hunting information was also tipped off, encouraging crystals and colleagues to achieve certain accomplishments.
“I thought it was okay to go in and out a little at the entrance.... I asked the Mercenary Clan for an escort just in case... It's all my fault... Ugh..."
“No. How long have you been helping us? Neither I nor my colleagues will ever blame you. ”
“But…. When I was in the rites of passage, I thought that everyone was good to me.... It hurts so much... ”
“Hee Seon... ”
Finally, seeing the white light that burst into tears again, the crystal closed its eyes.
In fact, the start of the crystal's loss of the caravan was a favor. Two months ago, Crystal met up with Pyongyang and asked for difficulties in wanting to fund her caravan activities. Hee Seon thinks for a moment and brings up a sudden story.
'Sis, there's nothing wrong with funding. By the way, how long are you going to be a caravan?'
Ugh, yeah? Well, I'd love to join the clan, too. '
"Why don't we take this opportunity to shut down the caravan and join our clan?" Honestly, the caravan life, it's dangerous. '
"To your clan? Uh, how? '
When the crystal showed great interest, Hee Sun told us that his Confederation of Southern Liberties was about to explore the Sleeping Mountains. I need various data or information about the mountain ranges now, but I've asked you to investigate the mountain ranges directly in Crystal Caravan. He then asked Clan Lord to help him with this achievement.
It was a difficult request to refuse as a crystal that had always dreamed of living in the clan. It wasn't just that. In the meantime, Hee Seon has committed herself to helping us, because she said it's okay to just go in and get more information from the mountains. Moreover, Clan Lord knew him well in the modern world, so he considered the possibility of joining.
Of course, the risk of the 'dragon sleeping mountain range' was known, so there was no opposite voice inside the caravan.
But then Hui took out a lot of gold coins and said, "Well, why don't you ask the Mercenary Clan to escort you? 'The alternative, the opposite voice immediately faded.
The Mercenary Clan. Everyone knew their reputation as a North continent user since they had never failed in their quest. In fact, when the participation of the 'pneumatologist' and 'God's Shield' was confirmed, the opposing colleagues turned to one or two.
'But I didn't think it would come to this.'
The crystal smiles bitterly. And as I looked forward, I saw a white line lifting its eyes.
“Sis... Any word from the mercenary clan? ”
“Yes. It's been a week since I visited her last time, and we haven't heard from her. ”
“Really? That's weird... Why are you sitting there like this? Sis, are you sure you have the terms of your safe return? ”
“Ah…. Yeah, I think I need some time to get ready. You promised me. You'll hear from me soon enough. ”
“No, I can't. We can't just wait around like this. I'll go talk to him. ”
“Don't do that. You need to think about your position. I'm just a regular user, but not you. Just let me try again today. ”
The crystal ripped the cord that was causing the body to rise. It was because I thought that if there was a conflict between the two clans due to the excessive attitude of happiness, There was also a heart that did not want to harm Hee Sun anymore.
After several more attempts to stop the gear from going, the crystal can barely return the favor.
After a few moments, the crystal sighs deeply after seeing the white wire enter the warp gate.
It was still complicated in my head. I thought maybe I was giving up half of it even though I thought to myself.
'Let's go again.'
The crystal sharpens its confused mind and forcefully turns its head. The destination was the Mercenary Clan House.
*
The crystal was able to arrive at the mercenary house soon. At first, there were so many branches around me that I tried to find the headquarters, but since I've been there a few times, I'm now familiar with the way.
“Hey…. ”
The crystal carefully opens the front door. And the moment I stepped inside, I instinctively stopped walking.
It's quiet. There are no guards that are always visible, and the garden that was lively every time it came is quite quiet today. Recently, I was impressed by the size of the building or garden, but I didn't understand if the same clan member was missing and could be this active.
But today is oddly different. There was silence and tension all over the mercenary house.
The crystal took a step without cause. When I reached the entrance of the building, I swallowed a needle while grabbing the door hook. Suddenly, I felt like my throat was burning.
Soon, the crystal opened its doors, silently opening its mouth.
“Excuse me.”
And the moment he stepped inside, the crystal flawed once again. It was because dozens of eyes were poured out as soon as I stepped forward.
“… who is that user? ”
“Lady, I was surprised to see you here. ”
In the lobby on the first floor, dozens of users stood in row and row. It seemed as if I was waiting for someone to have a glimmer of equipment and a strange prayer.
“Well, well. I…."
The crystal mutters in a crawling voice, then glances at the counter in a reflective manner. The first order of business was to talk to the counter.
Within moments, when I looked at the employee sitting at the counter, the crystal could see her sighing thinly. It's like, “Here we go again.” It was a sigh of bother, as if to say.
Suddenly, a pop popped out of the moment, and the crystal clenched its lips. After inwardly engraving the fact that he was always a client, he walked between the users he had established to the left and to the right.
And that was the moment.
Boom!
With a loud knock on the door, everyone in the lobby turns to the door.
The employee's gaze was also no longer directed toward correction. I didn't ignore it. Rather, he jumped up and down with a surprised face.
As soon as I looked back at the crystal, I could see the remaining ten users walking towards the entrance. Her breathing was too rough and her outfit was covered in dust, something rushed in.
Soon, the man at the forefront opened his mouth, sweeping all around.
“... we're all here. ”
It was low and cold.
The man's gaze, which was quickly looking around, stopped as he reached the standing crystal.
The crystal closes its eyes reflectively, then carefully opens again to gaze at the man.
“This user…. ”
And the moment I met my sunken eyes, my whole body suddenly creeped me out.

The prologue is over. This is the beginning of the chain structure in earnest. I'm a little worried, to be honest. I'm going to have to put a bunch of bombs together later, and I don't know if I'm going to be able to get it right. Haha. But I'll try my best.
If you dare to do one thing for your readers, I want you to take a closer look at the characters that are coming. For example, this meeting will be Song Hee Sun. This part is not just about getting Ahn Hyun, resolved and attacking, but also about following events.
Anyway, I'm going to do my best to get you good results. I hope you enjoyed it.: D
PS. Head down to the main residence on Saturday, January 11 (Sunday). You moved up the schedule for the snow. I asked him if he could go, but he said no. Last Thanksgiving, I understood because of my studies and novels, but now I have no reason not to go. Anyway, we'll talk more today, and we'll announce more in the next day.
