You may not know the story of Oedipus and Sphinx, but few people have ever heard of it in their lives.

Because he's that famous.

‘... You don't think there's a trap? ’

Without further ado, the answer is "people."

Demibeast, Elves, Orcs, Lizardmen, etc. are the towers of perforations that exist…….

In the dictionary, the word 'person’ means a creature that is intelligent enough to use language, make tools, and make a living in a society.

Yoon-suk Hana could not easily say the answer.

It's too easy.

Of course, other dimensional challengers need wits and bases, but....

Given that, it didn't make any sense.

“Answer in a minute. ”

Yoon-suk rolls his head.

The gatekeeper, Arepton, began counting his own time in a strangely disgusting voice.

“One... two... three... four... ”

What is this? There's a sense of unnecessary urgency.

Yoon-suk continued to worry in time.

However, we were not able to find out what the hidden traps were in this matter.

It was just because I felt weird somewhere, but I didn't know there was actually any kind of trap.

‘I hope it's a matter of getting a motive from the planet.... ’

Finally, time ran out, and Yoon-suk said the answer.

“The answer is people. ”

However…….

“Wrong, challenger. ”

The answer was incorrect.

Arepton kindly told me the original answer.

“The answer to this question is echnophehitu. ”

“ ……. ”

I would have accepted Orcs, even if they were Demibeast, Fairy, or otherwise.

It wasn't just wisdom, it was luck.

But this is hard to do.

No, I need to know at least this much.

What the hell is echnophehitu?

The gatekeeper kindly explained without even asking.

“Ecnophehitu is one of the deep sea languages of the Arbortonian Sea, four in the morning, two at lunch and three in the evening. ”

“ ……. ”

Yoon-suk lost his word.

It was not a metaphor for life in one day.

Indeed, there were four in the morning and two at lunch in some unknown dimension of life.

‘How can I guess this......? ’

Arborton Sea.

It's a sea that doesn't even know its dimensions.

But he lives in the depths of the sea.

Honestly, I started thinking like this.

Are you kidding me?

Credentials failed.

Even joking would be bad enough....

There are worse things.

This situation is no joke.

Along with the phrase "failed," something that appeared on the stone gate of the person's face disappeared.

I didn't feel real.

“… over there? ”

I tried things like knocking on the door, moving all the way back and forth, but it was impossible to try again.

“The end? Like this? ”

There was a laughter.

One eye and mouth were definitely drawing the arc wire, but something hot rose from within.

It was blood pressure.

Kuaang!

Yoon-suk punched the stone door with his fist.

I took off lightly, but I don't know if I was angry.

The fist breaks and the cavity shakes.

“Huh?"

Suddenly, Yoon-suk stopped moving.

And I looked carefully at the stubborn part.

I was restoring by myself like a new leaf in less than a second...

"It's possible to destroy it"? ’

It is different from the waiting room where no scratch was made.

is not protected by an absolute system.

‘You have to tell me that from the beginning. ’

This will change the story.

Yoonseok breathed blood on the sword.

Then I slammed the stone gate.

But…….

Bang, bang, bang! Kuaang!

It regenerates faster than it breaks down.

However, Yoon-suk did not mind smiling.

“This isn't enough, is it? ”

The King of the Endless Paths is on the move.

He also used the Judgment of the Ruler of Doom.

I wondered what would happen if there was no sky, but the rays fell from above.

All stats gain +1 for 10 minutes with the effect of Strength.

I activated it facing the stone gate, and a handful was already cut off.

"How thick is it? ’

I don't know.

And it's already slowly recovering.

Yoon-suk quickly carried the hematoma to its limit and swung it across the two swords.

Boom, boom!

The wall crumbles and the void beyond is revealed. Yoon-suk quickly moved his new form and entered the gap.

‘I really didn't think this would happen...' ’

Saga Gaga!

The moment I walked inside.

Soon, the smashed stone gate was restored and the exit was blocked.

Yun Seok stepped forward without hesitation. It was enough to use the same method again when we went back anyway.

Boom.

Yoon-suk moved forward, sweeping his surroundings.

It was more like a treasure vault than a tomb of the Ancients.

Well, there were hundreds and thousands of gravestones that seemed to contain Mira....

Everything in sight was full of gold and silver.

However, if it was just a kind of background, this phrase appeared.

This item cannot be obtained.

Whether it was true or not, 'emotions’ did not work.

Honestly, I don't need a gold ingot...

I couldn't deny that something was steaming.

But this place is also a kind of Hidden Dungeon, so not all items are like that.

Yoon-suk slowly looked around and walked straight out between the sarcophagus.

A stone gate was located on a staircase at the end of the cavity filled with stone tubes thought to be a kind of mausoleum.

‘I feel like a boss' room when I play a game. ’

Fortunately, it was different from the door that told me to prove my credentials.

I just pushed it open.

He didn't know what would come out, so Yoon-suk pulled out his sword and slowly went inside.

The first thing I saw was a statue with a window.

I was wearing full body armor and holding a fancy spear in my hand, but I couldn't wear my helmet, so my face looked the same.

But…….

‘I look strangely familiar...? ’

Yoon-suk, who was staring at the statue for a while, soon realized why.

It was the face of the mystery that just popped out of the stone gate.

I feel bad. Can I just break it? ’

When I approached the statue thinking like that.

The statue opened its eyes, and it was difficult to see Yoon-suk.

“Weren't you the challenger before! How the hell did you get in here? ”

Is there something wrong with my eardrum made of iron?

I came in with that big ruckus, but I don't think I know it now.

I don't know why, but I laughed.

‘I don't think he made it up because he said it like that, but I think he's right. ’

It was quite nice to see you again.

Yoon-suk replied that he had broken through the stone gate.

“You broke in? No way that's possible... No, I'll go check it out myself. ”

Then Arepton, keeper of the cemetery, closes his eyes.

Well, there seems to be a similar function to CCTV....

It took me a while.

After closing his eyes for about five minutes and concentrating, he suddenly shakes his head and opens his eyes again.

“D-Challenger! This is a place where only qualified personnel can enter. If you leave so quietly... Ugh! Aaahhhh!”

I didn't mean to.

I really didn't realize it.

Yun Seok also knew it only after the phrase was printed.

It's already been 10 minutes.

Strength expires and stat increases disappear.

At the end of the toughness.

The shimmering waves of light that were wrapped around your body erupt into all directions.

Flash-!

It was weaker than what was shot from heaven, but even this was not enough to be called the Light of Destruction.

A 50-meter radius has collapsed like a nuclear bomb.

“ ……. ”

Like the stone gate before, the feature quickly returned to its original shape...

Arepton, keeper of the cemetery, was different.

He leaves only a handful of screams and disappears without a trace, never finding himself again.

But you have to kill him, the Guardian, but does the reward come to mind...?

"The tomb of the Ancients has been explored.

A box appeared on the altar at the center of the room.

A very colorful box with jewels embedded here and there on the gold trim.

What, you want it to work out? ’

I didn't use formal technique, but somehow I was able to clear this secret space.

Yoon-suk hesitated to open the box.

Gurgle!

There was a thick book on top of a luxurious-looking red cloth.

Yoon-suk tried it from the beginning before waiting for his hand.

* Randomly acquire a brand statement (Rank B) - B rank skill

A skill book.

I don't know what's gonna come of it, but it's technology.

Moreover, Yoon-suk quickly opened the book because it was not for sale to anyone else.

Obtain a unique skill.

“ ……? ”

Yoon-suk was flawed.

It was surprising that it was possible to obtain unique skills in this way, but even more surprising that the unique skills obtained were not other.

‘Force Shield. ’

Yoon-suk memorized any skill or command as a test.

And then it really worked.

The < zero-chang > that I had gotten before was right.

‘I wish I could get it back...' ’

Moreover, since you said you learned B rank skills, you didn't need to rank up using AP.

What was the ability of grading on top of that?

I was very curious, but I had to go back to the waiting room to check it out.

Whoo-hoo!

Grab the boss.) Now that I have the treasure, is it over? The blue portal opens beyond the altar where the chest used to be.

Beyond the space, I saw a cavity in front of the stone gate with Yoonseok.

‘This is more like a game. ’

Thanks to you, I smashed the door again and took the trouble to go back.

‘Anyway, when we go, let's check everything. ’

Yoon-suk wandered around the corner, wondering if there was something else in the space.

But if this was really the end, nothing else was noticeable.

Soon, Yoon-suk returned to the front of the portal, putting his hands in and checking, then loading himself over the portal.

"Secret Chaser" achievement achieved.

I don't know how many LPs it cost, but my achievements were accomplished.

Even if it is less than 100 LP, you will not be disappointed.

500 LPs used to come here?

Even just one of them was already chosen.

However, Yoon-suk still lit up his eyes as if he was hungry. If the prediction is correct, there must be several more of these secret areas within the exploration area.

‘If only I could find it all.... ’

Of course, not all of them will be as awesome as this one.

But if one of them explodes....

Maybe one win in a duel.

No, I didn't think I'd get much more than that.

Tadadad!

Yoon-suk moved more wisely than before.

I didn't have time to do this.

Exploration trials…….

This was a land flowing with milk and honey.

* * *

Exploration of the Giant's Altar is complete.

"Secret Hunter" achievement achieved.

Yoon-suk, who had cleared another secret space, saw the reward.

‘Not bad. ’

Elixir that can increase a stat below rank A.

Yoon-suk opened his veil without a worry and poured it into his mouth.

Increases the rank of Strength (B-).

This will clear the fifth time already.

It took exactly 4 days to hit the date.

The stone gates to the secret space were mostly located on the far edge, where challengers were difficult to reach, but some were not.

‘It's different to ask. ’

Some demanded a particular skill or item, some refused entry if not from that dimension, and even offered a sacrifice to a colleague.

To tell you the truth, the requirements were too varied and difficult to find...

There was nothing wrong with Yoon-suk.

We just have to penetrate it with force.

‘Well, you deserve it this way. ’

After clearing the Ancient Cemetery, Yoon-suk had this question.

Why is it that despite being challenged by the honeycomb itself, the level of exploration challengers lags behind the duel?

The answer was simple.

They were mostly those who didn't have the capacity to make it to the outskirts in the first place.

Moreover, if you discover a secret space, you have to achieve the conditions, and then you have to fight to get your reward.

That's why most of them hunted and gathered essences as hard as they could for 15 days.

Now I couldn't change the way it was done.

It's too late.

‘Well, I wouldn't worry about it. ’

Soon, Yoon-suk approached the portal after clearing it.

But…….

“ ……? ”

There were two portals, unlike before.

One was the usual blue portal, and the other was an ominous portal with a dark red aura.

What else could it be?

The question was soon solved.

"The door to hell has been opened.

Bleeding.

Yoon-suk smiled.

And now I have to go to hell on my own feet.
