“Stand back!”
The party leader, Kim Cheol-ho, ran out and swung his sword.
Cleanly cut cross-section, the monster orc of the D-class gate died as it was and collapsed.
“Everyone killed!”
At the party leader’s shout, the other party members also ran towards the orcs.
Spoof! Whoops! Whoops!
There was nothing called tension.
The party members were certainly pros in hunting monsters, and a swarm of over ten orcs quickly became corpses and lay on the floor.
“How are you!”
“After all, it’s my older brother. still… .”
Ahn Min-hong, the leader of the sculpture party, said in a low voice.
“Give us a chance too. It’s your skill, it’s not that I don’t know… .”
I heard that Chul-ho Kim participated in Min-hong Ahn’s party as a mercenary and became close by demonstrating his outstanding skills.
“You said that you would help us gain some practical experience this time. That’s why I kept it a secret from my dad and followed him.”
“Cancer! so be it don’t worry!”
All of Min-Hong Ahn’s sculpture parties were children from well-to-do families.
Of course, it’s not like they’re famous or anything like that.
As a player was born in such a family, of course, parents invested generously in their children’s growth.
It wasn’t the right way.
The so-called bus.
‘Putting children between strong players and getting them experience points.’
Experience required to level up a player was not something that could be obtained simply by hunting monsters.
It depends on how much you participated in the battle and what achievements you made at the gate.
But nevertheless.
‘You can get some experience points by attacking the gates, or in places where monsters are hunted.’
The bus was like that.
To make the children level up in a safe way by changing the commodity called money.
However, children tend to feel empirical in such a process.
As a player, you gain the power of a superhuman, but how frustrating it would be if you couldn’t even use that power properly.
So, sometimes called passengers, they enjoyed the escapade of getting some real-world experience by joining a party of players they had become acquainted with.
“Oh, by the way, there are three orcs. Would you like to catch one?”
“Good!”
That’s stupid.
Because the bus isn’t the right way, but it’s definitely the safe way.
This world is not such a clean and safe place.
“Aww!”
Those pure idiots would realize it this time.
While the carving party was hunting the orcs, Kim Chul-ho came up to Lee Rowoon and said,
“The gate will be completely closed in just one more day.”
The gate is completely closed after a certain amount of time has passed since it has received visitors.
It no longer accepts visitors or opens the door until the boss is defeated.
So.
“Well, I’m going to show you all the way to the boss room. You just have to subdue them there. There will be no major problems.”
I’m kidnapped, but there’s nothing I can do.
In the first place, they didn’t save people from Black City because they needed power.
AKA trying to get pants.
When things go wrong, you need someone to take the blame.
The Black Si introduced himself to them as Rogues, and the Rogues sometimes act just like the Gehenna demons.
“And show me some hunting scenes, too. If they keep holding on like that, they can notice something.”
He just quietly nodded.
First night at the gate.
“Wow! Tent!”
“Heh heh. We are real players now.”
Even if it is a low-grade gate, it is almost essential to camp at the gate because the attack is going on for a few days.
But the sculpture party was so excited and excited about the first camp, as if they had never even camped properly.
“Set a bedtime and go to sleep. You too, don’t be too late! That way, tomorrow, I’ll try my hand at catching monsters.”
“Yeah! All right!”
Despite what Kim Cheol-ho said, Min-hong Ahn’s party seemed to boil after a long time before falling asleep.
All of a sudden, it’s time for Lee Rowoon’s bedtime.
Since it was Lee In and Rijo’s invisible night, Lee Rowoon’s mate… .
“Can I sit down?”
She was a woman that stood out to me from the moment I first entered the gate.
“As you like.”
It should be like this for two hours.
“Do you know my name?”
“Eunha Kang.”
“Then tell me your name now.”
Lee Rowoon glanced at her.
Ahn Min-hong’s party was judged to be a flower garden, and Kang Eun-ha was a foreign entity.
He acts like Min-Hong Ahn, but he doesn’t let his guard down.
They acted as if they had no experience, but they were quite good at hunting monsters.
“Benefit… ? It’s a name I’ve heard somewhere.”
“It doesn’t sound like a silver name.”
Lee Rowoon kept her mouth shut.
Taktak.
There was a sound of burning wood.
Did you not like the silence?
“What level would you be if you were unmanned?”
Kang Eun-ha opened her mouth again.
“You didn’t go out well when you hunted orcs, right? first-class… ?”
Tadak.
“Or climax? Haha, a top-class unmanned man can barely come to the D-class gate, right?”
Okay, then Lee Rowoon looked at Kang Eun-ha again.
“Don’t you know that it is rude to ask Mu-in about his status?”
“Oh, is that so? I’m sorry if I’m rude. Still, it’s a party we’re targeting together, so I’m curious to see what your skill level is.”
There was no embarrassment in her eyes as she said that.
You asked me even though I knew it was rude.
“Aren’t you using weapons? Did you learn to… ?”
Kang Eun-ha asks more as if digging for something.
“Use your weapon. You can be confident that you write better than anyone else.”
“Then why… ?”
“If I use my weapon now.”
Lee Rowoon playfully rolled up the corner of his mouth.
“Something unacceptable will happen.”
“… … Uh, are you shrinking a bit? Is that the Black Flame Dragon?”
“Don’t believe it, don’t believe it. Anyway, I can’t handle weapons properly in my current state, so I don’t use them.”
“Ah, I think you were wearing an inner jacket. You can’t use a weapon… .”
After saying that, Eunha Kang muttered a little.
I don’t think he’s a bad person… .”
“What do you mean?”
“Don’t get me wrong.”
Kang Eun-ha smiled slightly.
“It’s because I heard that there are a lot of scary people out there!”
Since we had so many pointless conversations, the night time was already over.
“It’s a shift.”
One of Kim’s party members.
“Oh! vigil!”
One of Min-Hong Ahn’s party members came to take a shift.
The road to the tent.
Nodding.
Eunha Kang greeted Lee Rowoon with an unknown smile.
Lee Rowoon ignored her greeting and just went into his tent.
He’s lying in a tent.
I can’t sleep anyway.
‘You can see too much even if you can see inside.’
I just remembered the conversation with Kang Eun-ha and thought about what would happen tomorrow.
“Now, guys, just in case you don’t know, the gate is closed today. If you want to leave, you have to leave now.”
“Ah! It’s a boss in a little while, but we have to fight the boss properly!”
Ahn Min-hong answered Kim Chul-ho’s subtle words without asking the other party members.
Fortunately, the other party members didn’t seem to think much differently.
“Yes! That’s a real player!”
Chul-ho Kim said with a friendly smile.
After a while.
[The gate is sealed.]
The promised time has come.
“Come on! ruler! Let’s quickly get to the boss!”
Kim Cheol-ho hasn’t revealed his true colors yet.
It was obvious what he was thinking.
‘It’s not just once or twice.’
It was clear from the outset that Kim Cheol-ho was doing this as a business.
It was the same with his actions I’ve seen so far, but he had the skill to stay vigilant until the end.
“Now, shall we go hunting? If it’s dangerous, we’ll come to you.”
Ahn Min-hong party, the children of a wealthy family.
And why players can be special from other world characters.
‘Item.’
If there was an item hidden by Min-Hong Ahn, the party was trying to use it.
As expected, a much larger swarm of orcs than before was attacked by Kim Chul-ho’s party.
“Ahhh!”
The growing orc swarm, Kim Cheol-ho deliberately drove the orc swarm just enough for Ahn Min-hong to deal with, and Ahn Min-hong didn’t seem to have any doubts.
“Huh! Whoops!”
But in the end, the end will come.
Ahn Min-hong, tired of the continuous hunting, continued to retreat, exhaling harsh breaths.
“Tongue, bro! I think you need some help!”
A herd of about twenty orcs surrounded them.
“Min Hong-ah! I’m sorry, hold on a little longer! There are a lot of orcs here too! I must have gone wrong!”
“Such… .”
As Kim Cheol-ho said, the Kim Chul-ho party was surrounded by nearly twenty orcs.
Ahn Min-hong had nowhere else to run.
In the end, they had only one choice.
“Fire Strike!”
Removing hidden items.
They must be expensive items that your parents bought you to save your life once in an emergency.
Kim Chul-ho’s lips curled up when he was dealing with the Orcs.
Puoong! Whoops!
When Min-Hong Ahn’s party cleared the orcs with unprecedented firepower, Cheol-Ho Kim also succeeded in clearing the orcs.
“Are you okay? Sorry.”
“Brother! I almost died! We will take good care of you, and what if this happens?”
Ahn Min-hong also raised his voice towards Kim Chul-ho for the first time, probably because he didn’t like the situation before.
And that was the signal.
“Hey.”
“Did we do that on purpose?”
“Tongue, bro.”
“We almost lost it too. Didn’t you see me fighting a horde of twenty orcs?”
Kim Cheol-ho’s eyes changed wildly, and Min-hong Ahn, who had never seen such eyes, was embarrassed and had no choice but to back away.
“Damn it. Hey, you gave me some money, so we’re your dogs?”
“Ton, hyung, that’s not it… .”
“Baby. Are we happy?”
At some point… .
Chul-ho Kim’s party surrounded Min-hong Ahn.
They were trembling, unable to hide their embarrassment at the sudden situation.
“Tongue, bro. What’s wrong… .”
“Baby.”
Chul-ho Kim smiled and snapped his fingers.
“Isn’t your mother and father telling you not to follow people you don’t know?”
“Web!”
“bind!”
Kim Chul-ho’s party members succeeded in arresting Min-hong Ahn using the items prepared in advance.
“Hey, it’s hard to match the rhymes for young children.”
“It was hard. party hall.”
“Brother, what is this… .”
“Min Hong-ah.”
Ahn Min-hong and Kim Cheol-ho, who still haven’t been able to properly grasp the situation, pointed their faces at him and said.
“It’s because you can’t understand the situation that way, so this is how you end up. do not worry. As long as you give them the money your parents promised, you can go out alive.”
Ahn Min-hong seemed to have figured out the situation only then, as if he wasn’t an idiot.
Your face turned blue.
Even if I tried to use the item I was holding, I had already exceeded the number of uses for today.
“So, let’s be quiet until our parents give us a lot of money, shall we? Kick.”
“Lee, Red Player… .”
Ahn Min-hong couldn’t say anything stupid anymore as Kim Cheol-ho had changed one hundred and eighty degrees.
‘If you give me money, you will return it alive?’
Lee Rowoon looked at it and smirked.
I’ve seen the face, and I know the name.
If they survive like this, they will definitely be wanted.
This happened often.
Crime against novice players who know nothing and lack experience.
And the end is always the same.
‘Death.’
If you kill them in the gate, catch the boss and close the gate, no evidence remains.
From the beginning, the boys decided on their destination in a secrecy, so it will take some time for parents to find out which gate their children entered.
A trap you can’t escape from.
People like Kim Cheol-ho are called Red Players.
Another name for them.
‘Spider.’
They dig traps and hunt down newbie players.
“Hyung, just stand here and look after them so they don’t do anything stupid. It is still useful.”
Kim Chul-ho patted Lee Rowoon on the shoulder and said.
In the meantime, Rowoon Lee was looking at only one person, Eunha Kang.
‘What should I do?’
Kang Eunha.
I did not disappoint Lee Rowoon’s expectations.
“Aaaaaah-!”
The screams of one of the spiders echoed everywhere.
