03. Another dungeon.

03. Another dungeon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Uuuuh~~”

 

 

Bright morning sun.

I woke up with the sunlight streaming through the window.

 

Yuna-ssi and Sora-nuna were asleep on either side of me. We spent all day yesterday screwing around and ended up sleeping together too.

It feels like we’re really living a married life.

 

 

“We’re going to the next dungeon starting today, right? But where should we go?”

 

 

After Hannam-dong Dungeon, we’d usually go to Yeouido, but…our team is too strong. Frankly, with our team’s level, we could even take on Manhattan, the worst dungeon in existence.

 

 

 

 

“Ugh….”

 

 

After drinking some water and washing up quickly, I saw Yuna-ssi groaning and tossing and turning.

Hehe. She’s pretty even with a bare face.

 

 

I wanted to pounce on her since she was almost awake, but I decided to pass since I had a lot to do today. Anyway…I can do it if there’s a comfortable place.

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

Before I knew it, Yuna-ssi and Sora-nuna both woke up, and we all made breakfast together.

For the record, this is Yuna-ssi’s house.

 

 

“I’ve been thinking, and I think I should stop being a guardian.”

 

Yuna-ssi’s shocking words.

 

 

“Chae-a and Hana-ssi are already doing their jobs skillfully. We can end it, right? And Sora-unni can take care of herself too.”

“First of all, your stats are ridiculous, hehe.”

“You were the biggest problem…but I don’t think it matters anymore.”

“I think so too…but, how many levels do I need to be to get 40,000 attack power?”

 

Yuna-ssi groans slightly at my question.

 

 

“For a normal job that’s not hidden, you get about 3 to 5 main stats every time you level up. And each of those main stats increases your attack power by about 3 to 4. If you calculate the median value, it means that the attack power that increases purely when you level up is around 16. The rest of your attack power depends on the attack power and stats attached to your equipment, as well as skill attack power and critical hits.

Before I met you, my attack power was less than 7,000. Even then, I have a hidden job. People with normal jobs are even worse. Even if you take the second job advancement into account…you’d have to be at least level 500 to have that much attack power.”

“Keuk…f-five hundred? Does that level even exist?”

“No. The highest level right now is less than 70.”

 

Hmm…s-so that’s how it is. We’re seriously strong.

 

 

“In that sense, your 《《emperor game=””》》 is amazing. You could consider it a national secret weapon.”

“That much??”

“Think about it. You can get about 2000-3000 stats in one game? If you gather about 100 people with high attack/defense increase rates per stat and have them play a game, you’ll create a monster army. Don’t you realize how amazing this is?”

 

N-now that I hear it….

 

Actually, I’ve vaguely thought about it too.

 

Advertising that I have this ability and recruiting people. Only women, of course. And for money. A whopping 2000 stats increase? And there’s a separate reward if you win? Unless they don’t believe me, a lot of people will flock to me if they do.

 

 

“Besides, look at you. You’ve been an adventurer for less than a week. But what’s your attack power?”

“…43,000.”

“It’s obvious from the ledger that you’re a newbie adventurer. But your attack power is over 40,000. People will go crazy if they find out.”

“B-but how do you know my attack power?”

“You have talent. My [Insight] only identifies jobs and their characteristics, but there are talents in the world that can analyze things in great detail, down to the smallest detail.”

“I see….”

“And those people usually work for national organizations with huge annual salaries. Be careful. Your life could get tiring.”

 

Sounds like something out of a movie….

 

 

“But, wouldn’t that make Master and me dangerous too? We’re in the tens of thousands too.”

“….”

 

 

Yuna-ssi’s face turns serious.

She didn’t think about her own situation.

 

 

“H-hmm…anyway. Considering various situations, I think it’s better to disband our tutorial team and form a new one. Officially.”

“Hee. Of course, the three of us will be together, right?”

“….”

 

 

Yuna-ssi looks at me and then turns her head slightly.

Oh. She’s blushing.

 

 

“W-well, it can’t be helped…I’ve become your 빈(Bin) after all….”

 

She likes it, hehe.

 

 

“W-with the three of us, we can go anywhere.”

“Then where are we going?”

“We’re….”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

+++

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clang!

 

 

“Hoo…hoo….”

 

There is a man.

Who loved a woman so much.

 

 

There is a man.

Who still lost her.

 

 

“Adventurer…you said?”

 

His neat appearance is gone.

His intellectual appearance is gone too.

 

 

All that remains for him is only wildness and anger.

 

 

“They said it’s a perfect crime inside the dungeon.”

 

 

He is Woon-hyun, the man who lost Sora to Yu-eun.

 

 

He picks up his newly changed phone and calls someone.

 

 

“Hey, it’s me. Get some dollars ready. I need to buy something.”

 

 

Will he be able to succeed in his revenge?

The move to another dungeon has been decided. Considering our stats, it would be good to go to Manhattan, but we decided to go to the worst dungeon in Korea for now, a D-class dungeon. D-class dungeons are so-called undead dungeons, and the monsters’ appearances are so gruesome that they’re not very popular. Instead, grinding the bones of undead monsters turns them into mana powder, which is very useful and sells for a high price.

 

 

The location is Gangnam. It used to be a very wealthy neighborhood, but after the dungeon appeared, it was completely devastated (mostly due to the Air Force’s bombing…) and now it’s just a so-so dungeon city.

 

 

“Oh my? You’re…moving?”

 

 

The guide-nuna I met on the first day asks with wide eyes. Well, it’s surprising that I’m not quitting being an adventurer but moving to another dungeon. A guy who hasn’t even been here for a week.

 

 

“Yes…it’s kind of…a lucky break. I don’t belong in this dungeon anymore.”

“Hee…where are you going?”

“Gangnam.”

“G-Gangnam??”

 

She’s surprised for the second time.

 

“Surely I didn’t hear you wrong? You’re talking about the D-class dungeon, right?”

“Yes.”

“The recommended attack/defense there is over 5,000. It’s not a place for beginners.”

 

 

She furrows her pretty face and speaks kindly, worried.

 

 

Hehe. But don’t worry! Recommended attack/defense of 5,000? I can go even if it’s 10 times that.

 

 

“It’s okay. I can handle that much.”

“P-perhaps…a huge score…?”

“Well…something like that.”

“I see….”

 

 

She makes a lonely face for some reason.

But this nuna is pretty cute too, should I bang her before I go?

 

 

“But, nuna.”

“Yes?”

“How far did you go? You were an adventurer, right?”

“Hmm…it’s a long story….”

 

 

Then….

 

 

“Then, would you like to have a cup of tea later? I’ll pay.”

“Huh?”

“I want to hear about your adventure stories, sunbae(senior).”

“It’s…nothing special.”

“It’s okay.”

“It’s really nothing special. It’s just a boring story…and if I had succeeded as an adventurer, I wouldn’t be here….”

“Hey. Don’t be so humble.”

 

The guide-nuna smiled faintly. I guess she really thinks she failed.

 

 

“Then let’s do this. Let’s say I’m hitting on you, nuna.”

“Hitting on me??”

“Yes. You’re pretty, nuna.”

“W-what are you saying….”

 

 

She hurriedly looks around.

She was very relaxed and playful when I first saw her, but she’s cute today too.

 

 

I gently grabbed her slender hand.

 

 

“I have to go to the exchange and do this and that anyway, so let’s have dinner together. Okay?”

“Hmm…well….”

 

She nods reluctantly.

Hehe. She’s half 넘어 온(neomeo on – 넘어오다 means to fall for someone/something) already.

 

 

 

 

 

After finishing the dormitory processing and address change application, I went straight to the exchange.

 

When you think of an exchange, you might think of a market, and of course, there are places where adventurers who run the same dungeon trade with each other, but overall, it’s more like an internet cafe.

There are a huge number of dedicated computers, a warehouse for storing items on one side, and vehicles that regularly move and deliver the items in the warehouse.

I heard that the transportation industry is also a huge market.

 

 

“I wonder if they’ve been sold~~”

 

The total price of the items I put up is about $16,000. If they all sell, I can get my hands on a decent amount of money.

But….

 

 

“…Shit, not a single one sold.”

 

 

Nothing sold….

This can’t be….

My dream of a lump sum….

 

 

 

 

“Oh my, perhaps~”

 

A woman approaches from behind.

Like a woman seducing people on the streets at night, she’s wearing a T-shirt that’s so low-cut that her cleavage is clearly visible, and hot pants that are so short that it’s hard to tell if they’re panties or pants.

Her face and body are pretty high-class.

 

 

“Do you have items that aren’t selling well~?”

 

She sweetly acts cute, drawing out the end of her words.

Indeed. A temchang(item prostitute) I’ve only heard about.

 

 

A temchang is someone who approaches you when the items you’ve listed on the exchange aren’t selling well, melts your heart with their body and face, and then buys them at a low price. Some people work individually, but they usually have connections to the underworld, and in order to do this, they professionally ‘carry’ women to cultivate only their charm stats.

Of course, it’s illegal and you go straight to jail if you get caught. So why do they confidently roam around the exchange? What do you think? Because they don’t get caught. The organization bribes the exchange, and the police are reluctant to touch them.

 

 

‘I heard some people actually spread their legs….should I try it for a bit?’

 

 

I have a date in the evening, so I don’t plan to play seriously, but it’s fun to look at.

 

 

“Ah, yes. These guys aren’t selling well.”

“Where~.”

 

She leaned excessively close to me and stuck her face out to look at the monitor.

A strong but fragrant perfume smell wafted over me, and her voluptuous breasts pressed against my shoulder and squished it.

 

 

Ooh. Good feeling.

 

 

“Oh my. You listed them too expensively~”

“Oh, really?”

“Uung. Would you rather sell them to me?”

 

 

She leans in even closer and seduces me.

 

“How much?”

 

She spread out both hands.

 

 

“Ten thousand dollars.”

“Hey. No way.”

“Oh my. Even this is a lot to spend.”

 

She purses her lips prettily as if to say, “What are you talking about?” and leans in even closer.

Now her breasts are completely and softly touching me, and her hand is stroking my thigh without pretending to notice.

 

 

“If you really insist….”

 

Then she whispers in my ear….

 

 

“Would you like to go out and talk for a bit?”
