Reincarnator

< 54. Demihumans' Grand Maze (2) >

The Grand Maze.

In the early days, a dungeon used to drive thousands of players to their deaths with notorious traps and complex structures.

However, the party circles, including Hansoo, moved forward gently through the first floor of the maze.

It was a split and fragmented labyrinth, but the party leader, Hiccomaria, was very familiar with the amount of land that was like a house, and he navigated from the labyrinth forward.

And then the party members went forward as if there was nothing weird about it.

Soon.

Speechless.

A huge space appeared before their eyes.

There's a huge place crowded with people.

Surprisingly, there was a human village in the corner of the infamous Dagger Palace.

"Potions for sale! Essentials! Pack it up!"

"Two seats cleared! Attention please!"

Thousands of people were screaming in a village set up in a dark underground joint.

< 1st Floor Supply Post >

A village built by the hands of players.

'What an unfriendly game.'

Hiccomaria mutters, remembering how long it took for the village to be built.

Exodus provides nothing for you on the part of the Game Company.

It's literally another world.

There are no NPCs to bring unlimited potions and no one to hand over quests that are kindly rewarded and required.

Players who were accustomed to other games armed with friendly systems to engage as many users as possible were initially embarrassed by these bold sales, but slowly realized.

That Exodus' boldness stems from absolute confidence.

'After all, games are for fun.'

Hiccomaria mutters as she looks at the crowds of people gathering in the first floor supply area.

The game company is unfriendly but fun, so I have to do it.

So, in the end, players have to solve their own dirty, uncomfortable problems.

Without a clan system, we build with our hands in reality.

If you don't have a village, gather the people.

That's how the First Floor Supply Depot was made.

Remove any traps and monsters that used to live on the first floor, and pick a spacious area from the structure of the maze where the players are located.

Players started trading here, getting supplies and securing themselves, and the NPCs who naturally lived in the battlefield crawled in and eventually completed a first-floor supply area that looked like a village in front of them.

Hiccomaria looked at the party members and said,

"We have already paid for all other equipment, including field of view jewelry. I'm going to take a half-hour break from here, so I need you to prepare yourself."

In the labyrinth, there are several pieces of equipment that are essential.

Magical artifacts created and rooted by the wizards of Exodus' royal palace, such as eye-opening gems or frontiers to prevent surprise.

Such items are commonly needed equipment that can be purchased using public funds, but personal settings or arrangements must be left to you at your sole discretion.

Individual combat styles differed greatly as this game boasted extreme degrees of freedom.

Hansoo nods.

30 min.

It's just enough time for you to see your own business in half an hour.

You don't have to carry a personal weapon.

'Hell, no. No gold.'

Hansoo smiled.

I'm broke, so I can't afford to buy anything from them.

The supplies on this floor and the first floor were not always as affordable as they were sold based on essentials.

No, it was more like a tourist attraction watering hole.

Hansoo nodded, walking among the people, looking at the price tag, looking at the tomb in the middle of the village, far away.

'Found it.'

Although the primary supply station was created by the hands of the players and NPCs, it was never built in a strict place.

This is the place that killed the most players before it was converted into a supply station.

< The gatekeeper's tomb. >

Numerous players have melted into the poison damage of an unidentified infected soldier, constantly pouring out of the small pyramid-shaped ruins you see in the middle.

Only after taking the Wizards' antidote from the palace and the high level players became interested in the Grand Maze did the gem inside the pyramid get destroyed.

It's only later that supplies are built here with the widest space on the first floor.

When Hansoo is walking on his toes.

Someone grabs you by your side and starts talking.

"First time in a maze? I'll help you get ready. Come with me."

"Oops."

Hansoo shakes his head at the sudden, annoying lump.

A woman with the ID [Cameira], who had taken the test with her, was smiling at her.

With a very interesting face.

Hansoo looked at such a woman and opened her mouth gravely.

"I've done everything I can. I'm just interested in that grave over there, so I'm going to go there."

"That pyramid?"

In response, Cameira glanced at Hansoo with her sly eyes and said.

"Hahaha! There's nothing there anymore! They're the first ones who woke up... They got a great reward, but now they have nothing."

Maybe Hansoo thought he was trying to get a trace of something in there.

It's not the first time he's thought of that.

At first, I was curious about Cameira, and I scoured the inside of that pyramid.

Just because the first people who woke up get a big reward doesn't mean all the secrets in there are solved.

But they all failed.

Many have searched inside that pyramid for quite some time, but they have all failed.

Hansoo laughs and mutters to himself.

'You have to know what you're looking for to see it.'

As far as I'm concerned, it seems.

Even things that look like crap to ordinary people can seem like treasure in heaven to appraisers.

Players have been playing games for a long time, but in a way they are just beginners to this world.

I just see the world as a game.

I have no interest in and do not want to know the history of this world and its kind.

Even if I'm a little interested, I don't dig hard.

But when there are many players, there are all kinds of people.

Many players were interested in exploring the world, giving up hunting and focusing solely on research and exploration.

'Well, I don't remember my username.'

A year later.

The player who was slow in leveling up while focusing on exploring will barely meet the level requirement to arrive at the War Fort and reach this place, the Grand Maze.

And we find traces that will be the beginning of the 6th fight.

Unlike other players who didn't want to see anything else because they were only distracted by defensive fluids and quests, his goal was pure exploration.

There must be traces of it in the pyramid.

It looks lame, but it's absolutely necessary for the next quest.

Hansoo opens his mouth, shrugging his shoulders.

"Well, you don't know."

Cameira smiled and followed behind her.

I got pretty excited.

He was famous for controlling things before he got here, but this guy was different.

Cameira opens her mouth as she looks to get to know him a little better.

"How old are you, by the way?"

"You must be twenty-one years old."

Camira looks absurd at such a number of words.

'... about? Not to mention the 20 he looks like?'

Twenty-two for his age and twenty for his looks.

I don't know if that muscle forms a feeling of pressure in that body, but it didn't look like twenty-one.

'I don't think I customized my appearance.'

Due to the nature of exodus that does not support customization, it is necessary to purchase a separate potion or procedure.

Kameira smiled and said, looking carefully at Hansoo, who does not see such traces.

It didn't matter how old they were anyway.

"Then let's talk comfortably since we're from the same age. You seem to be considering it."

A long time ago, Hansoo stopped in the name of an incredibly strange country and shook his head.

'Oh, and I said that the world is a little different from our world.'

I heard that culture is also more western than Korea.

In other words, in that country, half-words are more familiar than respect.

Hansoo, who was considering whether to continue to respect or reject Hansoo, made a decision and opened his mouth.

"No, I'm comfortable with respect."

I've been uncomfortable with the respect I've used for a long time, but I just need an excuse to stick around here.

'Ew. Did they find out I'm your sister? for a while.'

When Camira tasted it, trying to get to know her old age, but seeing how she hit the wall all at once.

The entrance to the pyramid appears in front of a handful of eyes.

'Coming in.'

One second Hansoo was about to go inside.

"Stop. We have to pay for the pyramid. 10 gold."

"...?"

Did something like this happen? '

Hansoo narrows his eyes.

In fact, I have never been inside this place or the Grand Maze.

Once upon a time, when he was up here in the world, the Sixth Pilgrimage was already raging.

The price of the guardrail had also dropped tremendously, so there was no reason to get into the maze.

I only remembered the huge context and key information of the quest, but I didn't even care about this small thing, and I narrowed my glance slightly looking at my pocket, which is poor.

Hunting in the Labyrinth didn't make enough money outside to earn basic gold, but this is what happens here.

Looking at that, NPC, who was serving as a guard, narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth.

"Too many people came and went. At the national level, we decided to walk maintenance costs. Please give it to me."

NPC emphasized the word poisonous.

10 gold wasn't a lot of money, but there were a lot of bastards who didn't like saving their own money or forcing themselves to do something.

The guard considers the steps ahead of him as such and opens his mouth to prevent accidents in the future.

It's hard to ignore the rules established by the Kingdom, even by immortals like the rest of us.

At that time, Kameira, who was next to Hansoo, smiled and paid.

"Here you go. 20 gold."

"Thank you. Have a good watch. The time limit is 10 minutes."

"..."

Camira grins as she looks at herself.

"You said you had no money to cross the kingdom. I'll give you that much. Oh, and since I'm your sister, I'm just gonna make it easier for you to talk."

'... don't miss your chance.'

As Hansoo shakes his head as he looks at Cameira coming in after clearing her debt, he opens his mouth.

"I'll pay you back soon."

"Ugh. What. With this much."

Hansoo heads inside the pyramid with a cameraman like that.

Follow me anyway, it's nothing.

I'm not trying to do anything big.

When Hansoo finishes his thought and takes a step.

You hear loud noises from afar.

What is it?

A transcendent amount of hearing catches the sound from the village, far away.

< Hey! Did you hear that? There's a bunch of buggers in the maze. >

How many? >

< Well, maybe a little more than ten? >

< Crazy. This is not the time to be doing this. >

< Arthur, the rumors are spreading now that they've been in such a frenzy. I don't think it's a competition game. >

Suddenly, the sound of people's rumbling spread everywhere.

Bug player.

Protective fluids are also important.

However, Bug Player is worth more than that.

Artifacts are also artifacts, but their experience is not a joke.

If you catch it, it's literally amazing. Lottery.

Suddenly, a large movement started to form in the town.

Into the pyramid, in pursuit of an invitation.

And Cameira, who heard such a loud noise, kicked her tongue instead of going into the pyramid.

"Oh, you scum. Put on a bug because you're not good at it."

Bug player.

In this world, they're not just scumbags struggling to survive, they're just buggers.

'It's bitter, by the way...' Ten of them are probably those guys. '

Hansoo narrows his gaze as he looks at the bustling supply area everywhere.
