chapter 7
7 – Transferred to the Labyrinth of the Abyss – 7
After the bloody battle to the death with the Abyss Wolf, I found a hollow in the wall of a cave and went to sleep there.
Because I knew there was a monster that could see through my [Dark curtain], Sleeping anywhere was like a risky gamble.
In that sense, this place, which was recessed and hard to see when lying down, was the best place to sleep.
“Ugh… That hurts so f*cking…”
I slept for a few hours, and when I woke up, my physical strength was half restored.
But the right arm that was bitten by the Abyss Wolf was still in a mess.
Although [Restore] Is an ability that restores one’s physical strength, it doesn’t seem to be an ability that regenerates wounds.

Possession Points: 3500
*
Currently, I have 3500 points.
I was able to get a huge amount of points at once while holding the Abyss Wolf and raising the level in succession.
‘I need to buy an ability related to wound healing.’
I immediately used the [Point shop] And the system showed me a list of abilities that could be purchased.
“Hmm…”
After roughly a few minutes of searching, I found a useful ability.
[Ancient Giant’s Power: Strength and durability are doubled. The wound regenerates rapidly.]
-Price: 2000 Points
It is expensive. If you buy this, the points will be deleted in an instant from 3500 points to 1500 points.
However, it was true that the effect was excellent, so I decided to buy it without hesitation.
“Buy.”
[You have acquired the power of an ancient giant.]
With this, the strength, magic, and durability stats all exceeded 120.
Originally, agility was the highest stat for me, but suddenly, agility became the lowest stat among all my stats.
Actually, my current stats are…
Strength: 122
mana: 127
Agility: 69
Durability: 124
Agility is overwhelmingly low. I don’t know if it’s because I’m Korean, but it was quite uncomfortable.
So, I decided to use the remaining 1500 points to purchase abilities related to agility.
That’s how I started shopping again, and this time I was able to find useful abilities a little faster.
‘Hmm… I think this is okay?’
[Wind Child: Agility doubles. The power and speed of all wind attribute magic are enhanced.]
-Price: 1200
It was a pretty good skill that increased my agility and at the same time strengthened my main magic, wind attribute magic.
This is a must-buy.
“Buy.”
[You have acquired the child of the wind.]
As soon as I bought the child of the wind, my body became very light.
As agility doubled, the sensation felt by the body changed that much.
‘First of all, the performance is certain… Hmm?’
I was satisfied with my purchase of [Wind Child], But when I looked at my right arm again, the skin and bones were regenerating at a tremendous rate.
Looking at the recovery of physical strength, the recovery speed was about 5 times faster than the original recovery speed that depended only on [Restore].
The [Ancient Giant’s Power] Seemed to be paying for 2000 points.
‘This will all recover in less than an hour.’
I felt very good when I saw my stamina recovering at a tremendous speed.
But after a while, I realized that I still had work to do.
‘Oh right. Come to think of it, I had something to buy.’
I opened the system window again.
But this time I found a list of systems that buy normal abilities, not the [Point shop].
What I felt during the battle with the Abyss Wolf was that magic chanting should be unconditionally fast.
Using magic with a long cast time against monsters like the Abyss Wolf that can break through 50m in 1 second is no different from committing suicide.
So I immediately thought I needed an ability to speed up my chanting, and I noticed that there was one normal ability that would meet my needs.
[High Speed Chanting LV 1: Casts magic at a faster speed.]
-Price: 300 points
“Buy.”
[You have acquired high-speed chant LV 1.]
[Speed chanting], An ability that speeds up chanting, is an almost essential ability for me, who focuses on magic.
What? Is there no chanting-related abilities in the [Point Shop]?
Of course there was.
[Soulless Spear: All magic can be used as a Spiritless Spear.]
-Price: 10000 Points
It’s just that I couldn’t buy it because it was so damn expensive.
‘Now that I’m done organizing, I’ll have to move.’
Anyway, thanks to [Restore] + [Ancient Giant’s Power], Your stamina automatically refills quickly.
So even if your HP hasn’t fully recovered yet, your HP will automatically become full as you walk around.
I took another step and smacked my lips.
‘Which monster should I try this time?’
I don’t know why, but I feel like I became a glutton after coming to another world.

“Kuhup!”
“Hold on, Alex!”
Alex, one of the people from the other world, was being trained by the knights of the Imperial Castle.
Alex is a person from this world with skills and jobs specialized in defense, and his durability stat is three times higher than that of knights of the same level.
Alex was a natural tanker whose job was also an apprentice guardian knight, and all the balance was poured into defense only.
“Well done Alex! You are the most useful of all people in this world!”
“Thank you! hahahaha!”
Unlike Lee Seo-jun and Lee Seo-yoon, Alex was a special case who quickly adapted to this world.
“I heard that the level is already approaching 20, but I have never heard of a person from another world who has leveled up as quickly as you!”
“hahahahaha! I feel like I fit in a little bit with this world!”
“Good! That woman who shivered over there is much better than the otherworldly person! hahahaha!”
Unlike Alex, who received good reviews, Lee Seo-yoon was living a cold life.
Everyone acknowledges that he is talented, but his evaluation was the worst because of his unique weak mind that couldn’t kill monsters.
“Tsk tsk, I heard that the princess is the most expected talent… What if you have great talent? You can’t kill a single monster.”
“Heh heh, is the princess the same as our regular knights? Surely she has plans that the likes of us don’t think of.”
“But what to do with that chaff?”
“Uh huh. Even if I tell you to stop.”
Of course, I couldn’t say anything carelessly because I was a person from another world that Princess Irina brought with me.
However, it was true that her qualities were questionable, so the knights did not look at Lee Seo-yoon with friendly eyes.
“Ha ha… Ha…”
Lee Seo-yoon hunted one goblin every day.
She couldn’t continue training because she vomited any more.
“Oh are you okay Ms. Seoyoon?”
“…It’s okay…”
After Alex finished her training, she approached Lee Seo-yoon, who was lying on her floor with an eerie grin.
For reference, Seoyoon Lee just killed her goblin, so she wasn’t feeling well.
“If you’re having a hard time, tell me, Seoyoon. I’ll help.”
“…Thank you.”
Lee Seo-yoon was very reluctant about a man named Alex.
From the gaze that seemed to stare at every nook and cranny of his body, to the eerie smile. Alex was the man who had everything that Seoyoon would hate.
“Ha ha! It’s okay not to try to be strong! I can protect you!”
“Thank you for your kind words…But it’s okay.”
“Hmm~”
Alex looked at Lee Seo-yoon coldly for a moment, who seemed to be distancing herself from her, and then she turned her back to the place where her knights were gathered.
“……”
Lee Seo-yoon got up from her seat with a pale face and headed for the exit of her gymnasium as if running away.
But she was forced to stop because of what a knight said as he entered the gymnasium.
“People from another world! The princess is calling! Let’s go immediately!”
It was Irina’s call.
***
“Nice to meet you, has it been three days since the first report?”
As always, Irina called her three otherworlders into her own office.
“You don’t have to be so nervous. I didn’t call today to check on your performance anyway.”
Irina handed over her documents to Alpheon, her escort knight, while sitting in her office chair.
“Sir Alpheon, show them this document.”
“Name.”
Alpheon handed over each of the three documents to the people of the other world.
“Oh? What is this?”
Alex asked looking at the papers.
Irina arrogantly answered Alex’s question, crossing her legs.
“Except for Lee Seo-yoon, your level is approaching level 20. In fact, from level 20 or higher, it won’t be easy to raise experience points by training in the gymnasium.”
Irina continued her speech, pointing at her papers on the desk in her office.
“So, from now on you guys must experience real combat. See the letters on this document?”
Lee Seo-joon read the words written on her document.
“The Great Labyrinth…The Labyrinth of Hallucinations…The Labyrinth of Fire Demons…The Labyrinth of Freezing…The Labyrinth of Abyss…?”
“Yes, it’s been a while since I came to this world, so I don’t know, but in this world there are five large labyrinths that connect the underground of each continent.”
Irina continued her words by pointing to the labyrinths written on her documents.
“It is generally recommended to enter each labyrinth with LV 30 or higher, but it will be safe if you enter with knights.”
“Oh! That means we have to enter the labyrinth!”
“Yes, it’s good that you understand so quickly.”
Irina stood up from her chair and opened the large map of the continents hanging on the wall of her office.
“The large country in the center of this map is our Hyperion Empire, and the continent where our empire is located is called the Central Continent. Except for the Labyrinth of Fire Demon, all four Labyrinths can be accessed through the Central Continent.”
“Then, which labyrinth should we go to?”
At Lee Seo-joon’s nervous question, Irina smiled seductively and pointed to the labyrinth in the northeast direction on the map.
“You guys are still weak. Conversely, the labyrinth is dangerous enough to be called the hell of the people, so the labyrinth you will head towards is the ‘Great Labyrinth’, the least difficult labyrinth.”
“What? It looks very dangerous with only your name on it?”
“The name ‘Great Labyrinth’ is just a name given to it because it is the largest of the labyrinths. Unlike other labyrinths, it’s actually just a general cave-like habitat for monsters.”
Irina started explaining about the other four labyrinths except for the Great Labyrinth.
“The Hallucinatory Labyrinth, which exists in the southeast direction, causes stronger hallucinations the deeper you go. In the Labyrinth of Fire, it is said that only the entrance area has a temperature of over 50 degrees and lava flows in the center. The Frozen Labyrinth is the opposite. It is a labyrinth with a very low temperature environment.”
Irina continued her words by pointing to the labyrinth of the abyss for the last time.
“And don’t even think about going near the labyrinth of the abyss, which is called the worst labyrinth. There is no human who entered the labyrinth of the abyss and came back alive. They all died.”
“Is it that dangerous?”
“Yes, there is no definite information because there is no one who entered the labyrinth of the abyss and returned alive, but it is commonly known that it is a labyrinth that gives more mental pain than the labyrinth of hallucinations.”
With those words, Irina folded the map again.
Then she approached Lee Seo-yoon and started threatening her.
“Lee Seo-yoon, if you go to the Great Labyrinth and see him as he is now, he will not be able to come back alive.”
“………”
“Tsk…..If you understand, then everyone should leave. The departure date for the Great Labyrinth is in three days, so be aware of it.”
Irina clicked her tongue when she saw Lee Seo-yoon, whose face was pale, and sat back in her office chair.
At the same time, Alpheon, the escort knight, sent all three otherworlders out.
Alpheon, left alone in the room, asked Irina.
“Irina-sama, are you sure you’re okay?”
“What do you mean?”
“The Great Labyrinth is still too much for them. Don’t you know?”
“She knows even the original woman.”
“Then why are you forcibly sending them to the Great Labyrinth?”
Irina sighed at Alpheon’s question and stood up from her seat.
She answered as she looked out the window of her office.
“Your Majesty said. Not only the demonic country, but also other kingdoms are raising people from other worlds.”
“Such…”
“They know how fast the people of this world grow.”
Irina opened a drawer of her office desk and pulled out one of her documents.
“This is the information of the aliens currently being raised in the imperial family.”
“I can’t believe it…”
“Kyung must have noticed, but I’m not the only three people from other worlds raised by the empire. My older brothers were raising people from other worlds themselves, and even your Majesty was raising people from other worlds.”
Alpheon was quite surprised by the information on the people of the other world written on the document.
She honestly thought that even though she was only Alex, she was a very talented person among the people of this world.
“Do you understand now? The reason why I am obsessed with Lee Seo-yoon.”
“I see…”
The people of the other world, raised by the emperor and princes, were obviously more talented than Lee Seo-joon and Alex.
However, there was no other person from the other world who had the same level of talent as Lee Seo-yoon in the documents.
“Lee Seo-yoon is a genius. You can tell from the fact that he mastered the lowest level of wind attribute magic in a few days. If he just rips out his personality and fixes it, he’ll become a great pet dog to protect me.”
“…So to the Great Labyrinth…”
“Yes, there are things to raise Lee Seo-joon and Alex, but the most important thing is Lee Seo-yoon’s growth. Many people from other worlds have already exceeded LV 20.”
With an uncomfortable expression, Irina tore up the papers containing information about people from other worlds raised by the imperial family.
“She really hates losing to someone. Doesn’t she know the hardness? Then, of course, the people she raises in this world must be the strongest.”
“…Name…”
Alpheon feared Irina’s crazy eyes and came out of the princess’s office as if running away.
Irina sat down on the chair in her office with a laugh at the sight of Alpheon quickly disappearing.
“Haa…You’re really tired…”
Irina did not want an ordinary sharp sword.
She wanted her sword to be powerful enough to cut through entire continents beyond the empire.
In that sense, Lee Seo-yoon was also eliminated by Irina’s standard. Although she was very talented, she was not an unseen genius with a talent that would not be seen again in the world.
“…Are there really no monsters that can divide the continent…”
Sitting on the chair in the office, Irina muttered and quietly closed her eyes.
