277th episode
As the land neared, the Goinghel's propulsion system began to move in an infinite orbit for landing.
"But..."
Jae-ho opened his mouth looking at the vast land that was now clearly visible.
"What's wrong with the atmosphere here?"
Inside the island, there was a haze of fog, and the dense tangle of vegetation was somehow ominous.
a scene in which no trace of a human being is seen
"It's a lot different from what I saw on Bear Gorills' show.”
Kuung
In the meantime, the Goinghel finally landed on the shore.
[Congratulations! Found an unknown primeval island!]
[Innocent increase in reputation!]
“……?”
It wasn't Wistnan.
"What is it? Is it our fault?”
"Not even the continent. It's an island... "
"No! But when I see the alarm on an island, it's not usually an island."
Everyone on the deck chattered.
[Your great discovery can be promulgated all over the world.
[When promulgating the existence of , location information of the island is exposed to people.]
Clearly, this notification was completely different from the islands we had seen while sailing.
[Warning There is a fatal gap in your route. Unable to determine location information for .]
"That's why the Bear Gorillas haven't been able to pinpoint the location of the New World.’
Jaeho scratched his head.
The reason is that the antelope was cut off because it went into the belly of a bear trap mouth.
Anyway, it was clear that he had made a great discovery, if not as much as the continent.
Tong
The moment the bottom of the hull opens and Jae-ho steps on the island.
[The Primitive Island of Curse upon the One who set foot on the Isle.]
“?!”
"Cursed?"
The sudden notification embarrassed everyone.
Moreover, the contents of the curse were also strange.
[Dinos' Trial]
[Challenge!]
For those who want wealth, greater wealth!
Stronger for those who want power!
A higher reputation for those who want it!
You'll get whatever you want.
But the Dinos never give away the treasure easily.
Survive.
That must be the proof of qualification.]
[1. For five hours you can freely roam around the island.]
[2. After 5 hours, you are deported to the coast of the Dinos.]
[3. To use the island, you have to put your level as collateral, and the figures are adjustable.]
[4. If you succeed in surviving for 5 hours, your level as collateral will be returned.
[5. If you level up during your stay on the island, after 5 hours, you will get it back with the collateral level added.]
[6. In case of death within 5 hours, the collateral level will be lost.]
“…….”
It was quite shocking.
It means that if you don't accept this ordeal, you can't enter the island.
In fact, it seemed more like a special gimmick of instant dungeon than a curse.
"Let's clean up for a moment.”
Of course, it was not easy to understand these contents at once.
First of all, the contents of No. 1 and No. 2 were not that difficult.
But the concept of the three collateral levels was quite complex, and if you don't understand it properly, you're very likely to get hit in the back.
[What would you like to set your collateral level to?]
a notice before everyone's eyes
"If you want to use the island, you have to level it, but when you die, you have a deadly penalty that goes away...….”
Which means it's very difficult to survive on this island.
"Crazy terms."
Level is the most important thing in New World.
Especially for high-level players.
When I think about the level of falling down every time I die, I wake up suddenly.
"But if you look at number four and five, this island can be the best levelling zone for a high-level player.”
a word of complete food that I've been brooding over for a long time
Others thought so, too.
No matter how much you charge, once you survive, there is no level loss.
In addition, if you level up in the meantime, you get it back with the collateral level.
This was a huge benefit.
High-level players all had great difficulty level-up.
Although the number of players in the early and mid-300 level has been increasing recently, it was the same just to see that no one has yet broken the 400 level.
A situation in which the gap between levels is gradually decreasing.
This was because the level-up required experience increased exponentially.
But what if a 350-level player were to hunt here with 150 levels of collateral?
Then, a much easier level-up is possible with a required experience of 200 levels.
If you use it to raise your level by 10 levels, you can reach 360 levels in five hours.
"That's awesome."
"I was already going crazy because I was slow to level up."
While there are people who like it.
"Do you know how strong these monsters are?"
"It's just the last-minute gambling content."
Some read a scary plot to kick a player to the can.
"There's only one way to check it out."
Jae-ho said.
"I have no choice but to experience it firsthand."
Then Jae-ho put the collateral level at 1.
"Yes, you don't have to venture from the beginning."
Others followed Jae-ho's lead and put a level 1 as collateral.
[Enters Primitive Island.]
[Still available: 04:59:59]
Time began to pass.
"Okay. Let's then think about dying once and scatter and look around the island. If anything special happens, let us know through a group chat."
"Huh? Are you moving separately?”
When Buffalo asked, Jae-ho nodded.
"Do as you please. I'm not sailing."
"Oh!"
"That was good!"
"Hahaha, heh, heh, heh, heh!"
Everyone cheered at Jae-ho's unexpected consideration, not his.
Even if you exclude the danger, it's the first place to be discovered, so it's a honey jar island where you can work on your reputation with just your hands out!
Jae-ho was moved by the wide distribution that he could monopolize but did not bother to do.
"Thank you, Alsia!"
"I won't forget your kindness!"
The ones who throw their greetings and run in front of them.
But Jae-ho also made the decision because he had a personal goal.
"Isn't Alsia going? There might be a dragon here, too."
Tina asked, tilting her head.
"...if there's a dragon, we'll turn the boat around and run away."
Jae-ho replied with a look on his face as if it was a horse.
In the past, he was able to defeat O'K because Kino was everywhere.
It was true that the combined strength of the elves with Jae-ho was less than that of a Kino.
"How about you guys? Does the curse have any effect?”
Jae-ho, who had a passive, could not avoid a curse.
It was because they were skills related to the devil or limited to abnormalities.
"Well... I feel a little weak, but it's bearable."
"We're not that different."
“…….”
Jae-ho's eyes narrowed as he looked at Tina.
Why does it feel like Tina is the only one who feels weak when the other elves are fine?
'You're never going to fight.’
Tina, whose level was lower than usual, could not be exposed to danger.
Fortunately, what Jae-ho was trying to do from now on was low in risk.

"Let's collect the flowers here!"
And he also gave various tools to the hands of the elves.

Tina's face was filled with deep regret, but Jae-ho pretended not to see it.
* * *
Those who left to explore the primitive island of Dinos were divided into two groups on their own.
A buffalo party of former brown bear guild members who are slaves and sailors.
And a finishing party, including the Ilsung Flower team members.
All of them were top players enough to play New World, so they didn't make the stupid choice of complacency.
"By the way, why don't we make the exact group name, too?”
Someone's suggestion in the Buffalo Party, as they were going through thick bushes.
"What are you talking about?"
Buffalo, who was walking in the lead, asked back.
"Well, it's been a long time since we were the brown bear guilds... Actually, it's hard to call him a brown bear now.”
Of course, the guild itself was still alive.
Some of them were still guild members.
However, it was the reality that the guild chat stopped for more than a month.
"So why don't we make our own guild at this point? To be honest, they're all sailors of the Goinghel. Don't you feel a little... a little proud?"
“?!”
"You... you......."
That's what I think inside, but no one's saying it out loud and clear!
They were the ones who suffered from a gap that hurt their pride when they felt proud.
"...that's right.”
Buffalo was the first to admit.
"Let's be honest. Actually, I like working for Alsia."
Buffalo's frank confession shocked them.
But soon... ...
"Hmmm, that's true.
"...well... I'm not bad either."
The innermost thoughts that began to emerge one by one.
"Alsia, even though he treats us badly, he's much better than the Brown Bear executives."
"That's right. If it's crooking, they don't let us go like this. He's going to drown himself in everything."
"And then he doesn't come forward. You're always in the safest place with guilds in front of you, aren't you? But Alsia throws herself away more than anyone else when she has to fight. See you the last time you fought with the Unsla."
As we began to talk one by one, each confessed his or her thoughts.
"So now we're making one. Like the Warlock Association kids. Frankly speaking, they're terrible, aren't they? Still, they set up their own guild and get recognized for their Alsia Dowoo. I want to get into the tank, so I've got people lining up."
Sounds like a pretty plausible story, and others began to worry seriously, too.
We can't always be referred to as the "Full Bear Guild," "Slavery 1," or "Senwon 1."
What's important is the brand!
They are still making fun of because they don't have a brand to put forward.
"Okay! Let's make a guild, then!"
"What shall we name the guild?"
“…….”
Everyone focused with a serious look.
A name that feels plausible and catches everyone's attention...….
With a name that anyone can tell you're on the Alsia line...….
"The All-Al-Congratulations (the Al-Sia Association of the World)?”
"Jeon Hwang-hyeop (Hwang Jae-ho Association of the World)?"”
"H.J.H.N. (Hwang Jae-ho, Navy)?"”
"Hwang Jae-ho and the Kids?"
appalling levels of names
"...let's each think about it and vote."
These were options that I couldn't choose right away.
"By the way... ...who will be the most important Gilma?"
There was a subtle expectation on Buffalo's face when he brought up Gilma.
"I."
"Mi."
"This body."
"As expected of me."
Ignoring that expression, everyone raised their hands.
"Hey! Isn't Gilma supposed to be me? I'm a deckman!"
Buffalo argued angrily, but none of the eggs worked.
"Then let's vote on this, too!"
"Yes, it's for the Goinghel people."
"Well, that's not fair! I'm in charge of you guys in the first place! Besides, I'm still in the lead!"
"Because you're a tanker."
Buffalo was falsely accused, but it was only an empty cry.
"Hmmm......."
At that time, an unbecoming figure caught between them drew attention, coughing in vain.
"He's been eating meat before, so wouldn't it be better for me to do it?”
The one who says so is the Saburn hitter.
He appealed to them with his career as head of the Unsla Maritime Corps, but it could not have worked for them.
"What is it? Why are you here?”
"Hey, what's your level? Huh?!
"Do you want to go behind?”
“…….”
The level-konders' concentration quickly crumpled up the fourth batter.
"Bam! Where did you come from?...... Anyway, let's decide by voting and move on...….”

Then suddenly the surrounding bushes trembled loudly.
"Huh?"
"What is it?"
The reflexively drawn out weapons put them on the war footing.
Sasaksak
Sawok
A head of a creature that pops out among the wildly-shaking bushes.
What?
It was a small bird that could be about 30 centimeters long.
Big, big, big eyes, and sharp-mouthed creatures that have never been seen on the continent.
[lv.326 Chubburi Penguin]
"Wow, what's the level? It's very high."
"Is it a wild animal on this island?"
"You look cute. It doesn't look like a penguin."
But I didn't mean to end it with a whimper just because it was cute.
The hunt for the new monster was an achievement.
But... ...
Parses
Sasaksak
Suddenly, the surrounding area became more noisy and the tentacles popped out.
"...there's a lot."
Later they began to feel a little nervous.
