Dungeon

,Arang-a.”

,”Oh? You’re here!”

While I was diligently using various skills to get a feel for them, Pinku Berry-ssi came to find me.

,”Did you get home okay?”

,”Yeah. I got home fine. What about Arang-i?”

,”Well, as soon as Pinku Berry-ssi left, I immediately came to Leore. Shall we start recruiting for a party right away?”

The level 60 dungeon [Underground Cave] is Leore’s first dungeon and drops level 70 equipment. Unlike other RPGs, Leore is not played to raise character levels, but to raise equipment levels.

The first place you have to go as soon as you hit the max level of 60 for that first farming run is [Underground Cave].

It’s a 4-person dungeon, and you have to run it with a composition of 1 tank, 2 DPS, and 1 healer. Of course, you don’t necessarily have to clear it with exactly 4 people. It doesn’t matter if there are fewer or more.

However, if there are fewer, the dungeon clear time becomes longer, and if you can’t clear it within a certain time, the dungeon goes berserk, and the boss becomes so strong that it’s impossible to clear.

On the other hand, if you bring too many people, the number of items that come out of the dungeon is the same, so the farming time increases.

So, usually, people match the 4 people that Leore has set.

Right now, our party only has a DPS Sword Master and a healer White Mage. We need one more tank and one more DPS here.

,”Who should I accept?”

There are many jobs, such as Swordsman, Warrior, Fighter, Archer, Assassin, Mage, etc. From here, various second job advancements occur, and there are various jobs.

,”First of all, since Arang-i is a melee DPS, it’s more convenient to have a ranged DPS.”

,”That’s true. Then, let’s only allow ranged jobs to enter… Next is the tank.”

There aren’t many tank jobs, and there are few people who play them.

Usually, RPGs have a small number of tank users, but Leore is said to have especially few. Because it’s a virtual reality game, you have to face actual monsters or bosses right in front of you, and the sense of fear that comes from the tank buster is said to be enormous.

I understand it well enough.

I remember how creepy it was when I first saw the tank buster of the field boss, the Queen Spider.

I’m just glad that I don’t have to recruit a healer thanks to Pinku Berry-ssi.

==

,”No one’s coming.”

30 minutes have passed since I posted the recruitment. But no one has applied.

Since it’s the first max-level dungeon, there are many people doing it, but the problem is probably that [Headbutt Party] is written in the party recruitment title.

,”There are hardly any people doing headbutt parties at this time.”

Pinku Berry-ssi is right. Usually, people don’t do headbutt parties very often. It takes too much time.

To explain headbutt parties, it means literally headbutting and攻略ing without looking at any strategies or guides.

The problem is that most Koreans don’t want to do headbutt parties. They look up strategy videos on RyuTube in advance, learn the strategies to some extent, and then go to try parties.

But I want to experience all the dungeons and raids in this virtual reality game Leore with my own eyes and body for the first time.

If I watch the RyuTube strategy in advance, the feeling and excitement of seeing it for the first time will all disappear.

,”If it keeps going like this, there’s a problem… Hmm…”

Now, there’s a long way to go to the final raid, but it’s definitely a problem that the recruitment time for each dungeon is getting longer.

Then I’ll have to use a trick.

I’m going to find someone who has plenty of time like Pinku Berry-ssi and who will suit my headbutt party.

Usually, skilled people come to headbutt parties too. Those people just come to watch people headbutting. So, even if they know the gimmicks or strategies, they don’t say anything and don’t tell you until the person who is headbutting asks for help.

Let’s just find someone who can go with us until the farming for the raid is over.

I told Pinku Berry-ssi what I was thinking.

,”Do you know anyone, Arang-i?”

,”Yeah. There’s someone named Kang Han-gil, who is a streamer and RyuTuber.”

,”Ah, that person who came to interview you last time?”

,”Yeah. He said to call him later if I needed help because he was grateful for the interview. Let’s call him here and make him a tank. I saw that he’s also max level as a tank.”

,”But wouldn’t he be very busy?”

,”Let’s contact him first.”

Besides, since he’s a famous person, wouldn’t he bring a DPS from somewhere?

I sent a whisper to Kang Han-gil, whom I befriended during the interview last time.

==

Kang Han-gil is one of the most famous streamers and RyuTubers in Leore. Kang Han-gil, who was already famous, became even more famous by being the only one to interview Lee Arang.

Recently, he had been going around field bosses and challenging the challenge created because of Lee Arang.

Other field bosses were cleared with healers, so people managed to clear them by putting in time somehow, but there was still no solo clear of the Orc Chieftain.

Kang Han-gil, who was about to go catch the Orc Chieftain after finishing the raid today, suddenly heard a whisper notification.

Ttiriring.

,”Oh, what is it? A whisper?”

Kang Han-gil is so famous that countless whispers come from viewers or strangers, so he basically turns off all notifications.

But he only set notifications for whispers from important people, so he immediately opened the chat window to check.

,”Huh? Why is this person suddenly?”

-Who is it?

-He’s making another forced RyuTube angle

-Don’t say weird things and Orc Chieftain ㄱㄱ [go go]

-I have to go get my head torn off again

-Are you backing out here?

-ㅈㄹ ㄴㄴ [bullshit no no]

,”No, no, wait a minute.”

Kang Han-gil quickly looked at the contents of Lee Arang’s whisper that suddenly came. The content that suddenly came after not contacting him even once since the interview was none other than recruiting a tank slave.

,”Everyone, the Orc Chieftain try will be postponed indefinitely.”

-Chicken?

-He’s running away here

-Where did the promise to the viewers go?

[ㅇㅇ-nim, thank you for the 10,000 won donation.]

-Running away? Running away? Running away? Running away? Running away? Running away?

-He’s just trampling on the promise to the viewers

,”Lee Arang-nim said she hit max level and contacted me to do dungeons together.”

-Lee Arang? Are you talking about that middle schooler Lee Arang?

-ㄹㅇ? [real?]

-Crazy, I have to go right away, you idiot, what are you doing

-Tell her to go quickly! I’ll get people

,”I just sent a message saying I’ll do it right away. She said [Underground Cave].”

-Wow, but how did that middle schooler-jjang catch the field boss even though she’s not max level

-Level correction, so max level doesn’t matter

-No, the important thing is that she did it even though she’s not familiar with the game

-From the beginning, who would think of catching the Orc Chieftain at that level ㅋㅋㅋ

==

Kang Han-gil, who ran to [Underground Cave] as quickly as possible, went to Lee Arang, who was raising his hand and shaking it at him.

,”You came very early?”

,”I ran right away. Ah, and I’m broadcasting now, is that okay? I’m covering the screen for now.”

,”It’s okay. I wouldn’t have called you if I was going to make you not broadcast until we finished all the dungeons, I’d feel too sorry. Ah, this is my best friend, the healer Pinku Berry-ssi.”

,”Ah, hello. I’m the White Mage Pinku Berry-ssi.”

,”Nice to meet you. I’m the Berserker Kang Han-gil.”

,”Kang Han-gil-nim, you read properly that we’re going headbutt today, right?”

,”Yes. I read it well. What kind of tank do you want?”

,”Let’s decide on the tank that Pinku Berry-ssi wants more than me.”

,”I’m confident in healing, so any tank that Kang Han-gil-nim wants is fine.”

,”Are you sure? I mean, my tanks are max level, but the equipment is really basic, and I can’t say that my skills are that good.”

Lee Arang laughed and said at Kang Han-gil’s words.

,”Hey, there’s a complete newbie here, what are you worried about? Oh, and we need one more DPS, do you have anyone to bring? Someone with a lot of time.”

,”I’ll ask one of my guild members.”

-There’s someone here!!!

-It’s dark, Han-gil-a, is this hell…

-Save me!!! Show me too!!!

-Show us the middle schooler-jjang!

-Kkyaaaaak

,”Um… Is it okay to turn on the broadcast now?”

,”Yes! Pinku Berry-ssi, is it okay?”

,”Yeah. It’s okay.”

,”Then…”

,”Ah, before that, Pinku Berry-ssi said she’s starting RyuTube, so please give her some tips later.”

,”I can definitely do that much. Then I’ll turn it on.”

Kang Han-gil manipulated the menu, and a semi-transparent round camera appeared above his head.

Lee Arang immediately went to the side that the camera was looking at and waved her hand to say hello.

,”Hi everyone.”

-Nongㅋㅋㅋㅋ [lol]

-Wakyapyaheoknongjjukㅋㅋ [gibberish onomatopoeia]

-Crazy, how is that really 15 years old?

-Is this rated 15+?

-With those small hands, she smashed the Orc Chieftain’s head, oh my

-ㅈㄴ [fucking] cute

-Nongㅋㅋ [lol]

-Wakyapyaheoknongjjukㅋㅋ [gibberish onomatopoeia]

-Wakyapyaheoknongjjukㅋㅋ [gibberish onomatopoeia]

-Wait a minute, if our class president is the tank, doesn’t that mean we can’t see Arang-i?

-Heok [gasp]

-Wakyapyaheoknongjjukㅋㅋ [gibberish onomatopoeia]

,”Arang-nim is a normal person. Everyone, be careful in the chat.”

-ㅇㅋㅇㅋ [okay okay]

-Don’t worry

-Nongㅋㅋ [lol]

A mage-type job, [Magician], who handles fire and electricity, came, who is one of the DPS in Kang Han-gil’s guild.

A hastily made 4-person party.

First, Kang Han-gil. He decided to do the sub-job tank instead of the main job [Berserker]. [Great Swordsman], who has the best DPS among the main tanks but has difficulty managing health.

Melee DPS Lee Arang. The most ordinary [Sword Master] among the swordsman jobs.

Ranged DPS Mozza Whopper. [Magician], the pure DPS with the best DPS among mages.

Healer Pinku Berry-ssi. [White Mage], who focuses on healing among healer jobs.

With this party created, they entered [Underground Cave].

,”Please take care of me!”

Lee Arang entered the dungeon first, jumped up and down, and took out her weapon.

-Oh, the Other Heart Sword… I’m so jealous

-So that’s what it looks like when it drops

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋA newbie who just hit max level has the Divine Judgment Swordㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Isn’t the probability higher if you solo clear?

-There’s a possibility ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

,”I’ll run!”

Kang Han-gil picked up his greatsword, which was as tall as him, and ran forward.

Before long, dungeon monsters appeared. Four giant rats, at least 1M tall, showed off their red eyes, and Kang Han-gil first grabbed the aggro of the monsters with the tank-only skill Roar.

As soon as the aggro was secured, Lee Arang immediately began to stack the [Continuous Strike] and Other Heart Sword 10 stacks that she had practiced today.

She attacked one rat with [Pentagon], stacked 5 stacks, and then shoved the Sword Master’s skills into the area-of-effect skills with perfect timing without missing a single moment of the [Continuous Strike] buff.

Kang Han-gil was flustered by the suddenly skyrocketing aggro numbers.

Even though his tank skills weren’t that good, he thought he was good at managing aggro, but the aggro of one monster suddenly popped.

,”Careful!”

Kang Han-gil shouted at the rat’s attack that was trying to attack Lee Arang.

Kaang!

The parrying sound echoed, and Lee Arang killed the rat as it was.

-Crazy

-No, how does a Sword Master steal the aggro of a Great Swordsman?

-I’ve seen a Magician steal it, but a Sword Master stealing it is ㅋㅋㅋ

-Isn’t it that the class president didn’t do well? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-That’s more likely ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Class president, open the meter
