The Live

Unlike the name of the village of beginnings, there were quite a number of people living in Mellon.

And they were mostly relatively weak in the first or second years.

Those who settle down at the moment, or lack the ability to go further.

“Dammit. I'll make sure I get out of this town after I finish this quest. ”

“Phew. This is killing me, really. Where the hell are you? ”

Sitting next to the corpse of a two-headed lizard, four men and women were resting.

They met in the tutorial and have been with each other for a long time.

Most of those who passed the tutorial around the same time had already moved to the next village. They are like rehabilitators stuck in a melon.

“Hey, Minjae Kim. Are you sure it's this way? ”

“Of course. Is there another place around Meln that isn't properly dug up? ”

Abram says there's a dungeon hiding somewhere in Mellon.

Abram the Great's Lab.

Abram doesn't reveal the identity of the lab, but he's trying to trick it into looking for it in the name of a dungeon.

using the people who are staying in Mellon.

“Never mind. Let's not whine and just look a little further." We need to get to the next town. ”

The woman who asked him a question sighed deeply.

It's been a month.

I started looking around outside the town and town.

The woman asked if she was getting tired.

“Is there even a dungeon? ”

“That's why they're looking for you in the commotion. ”

“But this is Meln. The beginning of the town, you know? Unlike other villages, there was no dungeon in Mellon. ”

The dungeon was a kind of hidden hunting ground.

Monsters you can't see outside the town.

Unlike the monsters around the town, they tend to have much higher stats.

It also quickly raises skills. It is unclear whether it is due to a special environment called a dungeon, or if the monsters that appear there are special.

But it is certain that the dungeon is worth that much.

“So far, nothing. And think about it. This is a quest. How can there be a quest to find a dungeon that doesn't exist? ”

“Yes, but…. ”

“Just a little more. Once we find the dungeon, we'll be able to move on to the next town as a reward. And reveal the dungeon to the first clear reward of the dungeon, as well as the rewards from the Skyscraper Clan. This is a great opportunity. ”

Kim Min-jae's persuasion worked quite well.

Until just now, the woman with all her strength was forced to nod.

It was literally amazing to find a dungeon like that.

You'll be able to complete related quests and move on to the next town, as well as get your first dungeon clear reward.

Above all, if you reveal the dungeon unoriginally, the Skyscraper clan will reward you handsomely.

If you can only get that reward, you'll be able to catch up with it a little later.

“Come on, then, let's get up. ”

“Wait. There. ”

At that time, the man next to Minjae Kim pointed one direction far away with his hand.

“I think they're someone else. ”

Kim Min-jae was furious with what the man said.

“Really? You're here? ”

“Aren't you here for the dungeon like we are? ”

Rumor has it there is a dungeon.

Especially in recent years, there has been a growing trend of existing people looking for dungeons.

As the competition grew, the four of you were overwhelmed.

“No, wait. I don't think so. ”

“What? ”

“Look at your outfit. I think they're new here. ”

In the woman's words, Kim Min-jae carefully looked at the two people who looked far away.

As the woman said, their outfits were somewhat lacking compared to the existing ones.

I didn't have enough equipment. A suit of armor and a knife, that's all.

“By the way, it's been a year for us too. ”

“Well, if you're new, you don't care. ”

“Phew, those poor bastards. I think I lost my way. If you run around wrong and meet a strong monster... ”

“Leave it alone. We'll sell them when we're scared to death. ”

They ignored the two new ones.

It was natural.

New person who has just passed the tutorial.

I never thought they'd interfere with their work.

* * *

“Is there really something here? ”

“There is.”

Yun Jae answered a regular question.

The answer seemed unfaithful. As always.

Regular people were frustrated.

I told him to find the lab, but he couldn't see anything around it but steep cliffs.

A lab in a place like this.

I had no idea.

“Ha. Yeah, there's a lot of them, monsters. That's scary, too. ”

Regular reminds me of a monster I just encountered.

A two-headed lizard.

A gecko named Twin Lizard had a quick twist, up to two metres in height.

Twin Lizards was a monster that could only be caught by three newcomers.

Even though Yun Jae and the regular outperformed the other new recruits, there were monsters like Twin Lizards all around.

Even those who had existed in the first or second years could be dangerous to face the Twin Lizards horde.

But…….

“I think I'm the only one who's scared. ”

Normally, he glanced at Yoon Jae's side and muttered.

"He's really strong. ’

Yoon Jae was unique from the tutorial.

I couldn't figure out how it got so strong so fast.

But as I fought with him, I thought the norm was strong enough.

However, after all the tutorials were over, Yoon Jae was again a long way ahead.

‘If I'm wrong...... I might not be able to keep up. ’

If you're with a group or a colleague, you should at least not grab them by the ankle.

Normally, I didn't just want to be held on Yoon Jae's back. I thought it might help him a little.

‘Otherwise, we wouldn't be together. ’

I could tell.

That Yoon Jae doesn't carry himself around with kindness or loyalty.

To some extent, it helps, and I think they are better than alone, so I ‘take’ them.

As soon as it became a burden, the relationship almost collapsed like a sandcastle.

“By the way, don't you think I've seen you around here somewhere? ”

Regular, who was circling around, asked as soon as a familiar landscape appeared.

Yoon Jae nodded and replied.

“This is where we first came out. ”

“The cliff? ”

“Yes."

Abram's lab is closer than I thought.

It was just that he couldn't remember.

“Then why can't Abram find it even with the lab so close? It's not far enough to forget... ”

“I lost my memory. ”

“Why? Is it dementia? ”

“Maybe so…… but someone great enough to be called the Grand Wizard wouldn't have dementia. Maybe it's something else. ”

“Another reason? ”

“I don't know exactly. But wouldn't it have something to do with being in charge of the portal? ”

Abram's record in the journal was there.

The Great Sage and the Human Jing.

And you can't kill them with any promises, and you can't remember the past well because your memory is unstable.

‘Well, it's not Abram that matters. ’

The important thing is his lab.

It means finding the dungeon.

[A new dungeon was discovered a month after we entered the other world.

Is it supposed to be dark under the lamp? The site where the dungeon was discovered was near the cliffs where we first came out.

The advent of a new dungeon has brought great repercussions to Mellon. Unlike other villages, there was not a single dungeon in Meln.

Dungeons…….]

The diary contained information about the dungeon.

It's just a form of journal, so we didn't know the exact location.

However, Yoon Jae could see that the dungeon meant Abram's laboratory.

Information of the revealed dungeon.

Based on the information in the diary, Yoon Jae approached Abram, received a quest from him, and went to find the lab.

‘The lab is the first dungeon in Mellon. ’

There is no dungeon near the village from the beginning.

That was the most important point.

If there is a dungeon in the village of beginnings, it will accelerate the growth of the new arrivals and those staying in Mellon.

‘The first discoverer is important. And it has to be us. ’

Yoon Jae and Jung started walking along the cliff.

I wasn't just walking. I looked around every corner, wondering if there were any gaps I hadn't found.

‘It's worth not finding for a long time. ’

The cliff was the first way out.

There was no way to get up there, nor was there a monster to call a hunt.

Literally, there was nothing unusual about it except that new people were the first to appear.

That's why I had to be turned away.

How many hours has it been?

I walked slowly, looking carefully, but I was able to make it up the cliff.

However, no matter how much I looked, I couldn't see anything.

“Is there really something here? ”

The regulars that followed asked me curiously.

It was not just a projection. Yoon Jae, who was filled with confidence, was also questionable.

“There will be. ”

I answered that, but I was getting tired, too.

It was worth not being discovered for so long.

Even with confidence that there is a passageway leading to the dungeon somewhere along the cliff, it is difficult to find this.

No one would have been able to move this long out of town through a cliff with nothing.

Where the hell am I supposed to go? ’

The dungeon will be found a month from now.

From the existing ones consisting of four men and women.

We don't know why they started searching these cliffs with clues, but it's not usually that hard to find.

I wonder how much longer I could have walked.

“Huh? Dude, look at that. ”

Regular looking at the cliff while walking around boredom pointed to the top.

“Isn't that a little weird? ”

“Where?”

Yoon Jae raised his head in the direction the regular person pointed at.

A cliff with nothing.

But looking closely, it was a little different.

"Hole"?

A small hole about 20 meters high.

It was small enough that one person could barely get in.

It did not appear to be a passageway for people to come and go. But the hole seemed too small to do that.

But…….

“It's worth checking out. ”

Another time, it was just a place to pass.

because it was too high, and the hole itself was too small.

However, Yoon Jae knew that there was a dungeon hiding somewhere in these cliffs.

That's why I decided to take the trouble and check it out.

Tak, Tadah-

Yoon Jae stepped on a rock beak that was splattered all over the cliff.

I was not able to raise my thumb, but Yoon Jae and normal climbed the cliff not so hard.

Tuk-

Yoon Jae, who reached out and grabbed the beak, looked inside the hole.

‘Deep.’

The hole is deep enough that the end is invisible.

Besides, the inside looks pretty wide, unlike the entrance.

The only narrow thing was the entrance.

‘Found it.'

Yoon Jae's eyes flashed.
