Possessing Nothing

[225] Key

The dungeon where Lee Sung-min died in his previous life is not far from the city of Behenger where he lived.

Lee Sung-min had never left Behenger in his past life as a Class C mercenary.

The distance from Legro Forest to Behenger is too small for Lee Sung-min. We need to move relentlessly to keep track of the dungeon's appearance time.

Fortunately, I was able to make it in time.

Coming back to the place where he died felt strange in many ways.

Of course, Lee Sung-min knew that he would never die if he entered this dungeon.

The power of Lee Sung-min who died challenging the dungeon in his past life is not comparable to that of Lee Sung-min now.

The dungeon has not yet appeared.

Lee sits on the hill where he first discovered the dungeon.

The dawn of the dungeon, according to a lifetime of memories, before the sun went down.

When the red sunset spread in the sky.

A lifetime ago, Lee Sung-min was conducting a monster subjugation quest nearby.

The Goblins are rampaging in the forest not far from here, so it was a quest to hunt them down. Even Sung-min, a Class C mercenary, was able to perform that quest with difficulty.

I finished clearing the Goblins and set up camp here for homelessness after dark on my way back.

And incidentally, a dungeon was created.

The dungeon does not exist from the beginning, it suddenly appears in this world.

Some lucky adventurers witness the creation of a dungeon and subdue it or sell information about it for a high price.

Inside the dungeon is an unusual world with no common sense.

Although risky, if you subdue the dungeon, you can get loot that is not common sense, just as inside the dungeon.

That's why information about dungeons is always distributed at an expensive price, and there are plenty of people willing to risk their lives and attack them.

Same thing happened to Lee Sung-min in his past life. 27 years old. It wasn't very old, but it wasn't for the previous reason.

At that age, a Class C mercenary was like a life that had already failed. I eat a day and live with the money I earn a day.

There is nothing stored and no hope for the future. Booze, whores. Comfort yourself with those things.

If you choose a quest that won't die, your reputation will be depleted even within the Mercenary Guild and your quest will be naturally lost.

The Mercenary Guild wanted him to die because he was a mercenary who was about to be thrown into a dangerous quest.

Of course. There's a lot of Class C mercenaries out there.

It was that situation, and so it was urgent. So the moment I found the dungeon, I challenged it with the idea that it was either Mo or Dora, and it failed, and I died.

That's why Lee Sung-min is here.

The sun is setting.

The ground trembles. A slight tremor. Lee Sung-min rises from his seat.

Lee Seong-min slowly got up and looked down the hill. A small ruin, which had never been before, was splashing through the pile of dirt.

“Hmm.”

Lee Sung-min widened his senses by touching the ghost mask on his face. He had no choice but to laugh.

I didn't know that in my past life. It was not just Lee Sung-min who was here.

Fragile presence detected not far away. They were not very skilled, but they could not have handled it if they were straight people in their previous lives.

‘I didn't look around then. ’

I wasn't good at it. They must have noticed the rationality. In the beginning, Lee Sung-min arrived here and did not hide himself.

So, what do we do? Should we wait for them to get to the dungeon first?

No, you don't have to. Lee Seong-min slowly got up.

I thought about putting it away before it got annoying, but I quit. It was because they weren't even bothered.

Lee Sung-min went down the hill without hiding his appearance as if to see. Then, I unleashed my strength intentionally.

I was oppressed by the mask I was wearing, but a terrible ominous spill came out around me.

It was neither internal nor force. I've been wearing this mask for a year. As the tetrarch thought, while the internal air force and force were suppressed by the mask, the body developed other forces in the process of adapting to the mask.

The power of dragons.

Now that I've eaten the entire Dragon Heart, maybe I can use magic. I had some expectations like that, but unfortunately I couldn't use magic.

Not all of the dragon's magical powers that could be used could be drawn out.

In the beginning, this was not even magical. The magical power of the Swallowed Dragon Heart has deteriorated in the body of Lee Sung-min and has become a completely different force that resembles internal air and force.

Don't be greedy. If you use Dragon Magic, you'll have more power than you've ever mastered, and you'll have no conscience for that.]

‘It's a pity. ’

[Shame on you. Thank this old man. This old man was able to eat the Dragon Heart.]

Heju said, grumbling. Although not in words, Lee Sung-min was thankful to Heo Joo.

Of course, I didn't intend to. If it looks like a horse or an act, he might get drunk again and say some nonsense.

[I can feel what you're thinking, asshole.]

Heju reacted.

At the entrance of the ruins, Lee Sung-min stopped walking.

I can feel the vibration not far away. Those who sensed the ominous presence of Lee Sung-min were confused.

I'd appreciate it if you could keep an eye on the situation and step back.

‘Probably not. ’

A dungeon is a cradle of charming opportunities that will cost you your life.

Knowing that, he did not oppress them or oppress them in a violent way.

The stairs at the entrance to the ruins lead deep underground.

I remember.

As I was going down these stairs, I felt rich, and when I came to my senses, I was standing on an outdoor road blocked by a stone wall.

Labyrinthine dungeon. There were various traps, and Lee Sung-min in his past life took all his gifts and proceeded to avoid my traps and break through too much.

‘I didn't meet any monsters. ’

There are various types of dungeons.

Like the Doppelgänger dungeon where Lee Seong-min went to save the Saxogo a few years ago, there is a dungeon full of strange monsters that are out of common sense, and there is a dungeon full of various traps and magic traps where monsters do not appear. There's a dungeon with the two of them mixed together. You cannot know what a dungeon looks like unless you enter it.

If memory serves, this dungeon was a labyrinthine dungeon full of traps where monsters do not appear.

A feeling of wealth came to me.

Lee Sung-min waited for the wealthy to end without resisting.

Percussion.

When his feet touched the ground, Seong-min looked up at the ceiling. There was a ceiling, and in front of it was an expanse.

Lee Seong-min started walking without hesitation. It announces the existence of traps that have not been trampled open.

I didn't have to jump. The power of inner air, stamina, and dragons shivers in the strife of the Lee Sung-min in front of the trap.

- Parker!

Black currents rose, and Lee Sung-min's appearance disappeared.

He leaps over the complex trap in an instant and stands on the other side.

A soulless soul mixed with the depths of the Black Lightning Incense, among them, a gale of confidence unfolded.

Lee looked back, rubbing his feet against the ground again.

For a year, I performed the shamanism given to me by the tetrarch in the fairy forest.

Sometimes, I did W. Hoenn and Beeswax, and I did nothing with the tetrarch.

It was more of a one-sided beating than a smoothie.

The shampoo with the tetrarch and the advice he gave at the end were very helpful. Thanks to this, I was able to build my confidence as much as the owner of the company.

[Shorter than I thought.]

‘It's quite difficult to control the distance. ’

Heju is restless, so he shrugs his shoulders. The trap was pointless as I began to actively use the Heilang Incense.

The early stages of the trap aren't that great. Lee Sung-min, who was a Class C mercenary, was able to break through to live and die, so even if Lee Sung-min walked right into a trap now, there would be no danger.

In front of the fork in the road, Lee Sung-min chose the left side as he remembered.

If you proceed a little further here, you will find the room where you obtained the previous stone.

Getting your old stone back doesn't mean you'll be able to die and go back in time, but first, I was going to get my old stone.

Lee Seong-min stopped.

The old door was in front of Lee Sung-min. There will be a small box in the room, and there will be a former stone in the box. Lee took a deep breath and grabbed the door hook.

Turn the door hook and go inside. Seong-min slowly entered the room. It was the same as before. A box is placed in the middle of a room that is not large.

Lee Seong-min opened the box without hesitation. Inside the box is a stone the size of a fist, and it's just sitting there.

[Is that what this is?]

“Yes.”

Lee Sung-min nodded his head, answering in his voice.

[He looks like a stone to me. Just by holding it...... can I go back to the past when I'm dead?]

“I did. ”

[That's hard to believe. Although this old man doesn't know much about magic, it's impossible for a dragon to bring magic back to the past at the moment of death.]

However, it must have been the case for Lee Sung-min. Lee Sung-min reached out and grabbed the stone of his past life.

Ooh, ooh, ooh.

The stone in Lee's hands began to wriggle.

From here on out, it's different from your previous life. When Lee Sung-min in his previous life gripped, the stone in his previous life showed no change.

At that time, I didn't know what Lee Sung-min was, but I thought it was just a stone and put it in my arms.

[An ex-wife caught the stone again.]

I hear that voice in my head. It was the same voice I heard in my head when I tried to master the skill.

[It has been confirmed that the ex-employee has returned here.]

That was the last thing I said. The stones of my past life that were writhing in the hands of Lee Sung-min were scattered into powder.

Then, scattered powder gathered back into the palm of Lee's hand. It was no longer a stone. What was in Lee's hands was a heavy key that glowed golden.

“What is this…? ”

Lee was embarrassed and looked down at the key. Even Heju, who was watching everything in Lee's head, was surprised by the sudden situation.

Before I even thought about why I didn't know what the stone of my past was. The whole room began to shake.

[Something is happening.]

Heju warns. Lee Sung-min is on the move immediately.

He opens the door that came in and comes out of the room. But I couldn't go back the way I came. Once you enter the dungeon, you must defeat the boss monsters at the end of the dungeon first in order to exit the dungeon.

Boom, boom, boom.

The entire dungeon is shaken. The outside is wobbling and the ceiling is shaking.

It was the first time that Lee was nervous in his entire life and life. Since it was not time to control the force and internal air through the mask, Lee Sung-min completely took off the mask he was wearing on his face.

Qarrr!

The foot collapsed and Lee Sung-min's body fell down. He does not panic, but tries to stick to the air. No, I didn't have to. The dungeon disappears completely during a short fall.

The invisible floor suddenly touched Sung-min's feet. Lee was embarrassed and looked around.

He was just outside the dungeon. The ruins, which were the entrance of the dungeon, were collapsing in front of Lee Sung-min.

[There's no need to interrupt the dungeon.]

Heju mutters.
