56 – Theme Dungeon (2)

Snow is pouring down from the sky like hailstones. It was a snowy field.

“Um….”

In the case of hidden dungeons, the surrounding environment may change. Many.

The nature of time and space itself has changed, so time flows faster inside the dungeon than outside it, and sometimes the physical laws themselves change.

Looking at the white snowfield, I recalled the memory. In the original work, this dungeon is a kind of themed dungeon, and each person who enters it shows the environment related to that person’s personality.

The starting point is a snowy field….

Are you saying that my personality is untainted and pure like a snowy field?

I looked at the minister, but belatedly came to my senses and looked around. I couldn’t see the entrance of the wave that was supposed to be behind.

“As expected.”

Am I the only one who arrived somewhere else?

Where the entrance to the wave disappeared, Choi Ji-seong, Ko Soo-young, and Han Cheol-woo were nowhere to be seen. The only person I can see is Lee In-ah, glaring at me with an annoyed face.

“…… What.”

She recognized my gaze and said.

“… What are you looking at?”

It seems that there is a lot of dissatisfaction with the anger mixed in his voice.

“What?”

“What are you looking at?”

“Just.”

Is it because of the compulsory nature of the master-servant contract?

He arrived at the same place as me. Perhaps Choi Ji-seong and Ko Soo-young arrived together in a warm and sunny place, like kids with a flower garden in their heads.

If it’s like the original, it’s probably like that.

I’ll see you later anyway, so don’t worry about that. In case you didn’t know, I asked you to trust me, so I’m not even more worried.

How about Han Cheol-woo?

“That bastard had a bit of a rebellious temperament like me….”

Cheol-Woo Han has a cold-hearted and unapologetic side like me. However, in the combat power evaluation before the training intensive week, he had a higher combat power than Choi Ji-seong. So don’t worry.

After all, I’ll just have to think about my business for the time being.

I was thinking about future plans in my head when Lee In-ah jumped up. She grumbled as if she couldn’t stand it any longer.

“Aren’t you really doing too much?”

“What?”

“I decided to only provide information about mines.”

“Uh.”

“Then it’s over.”

“Isn’t it?”

“… Eh?”

The imprint of the Master/Servant contract lasts a lifetime until the owner releases it. I had no intention of freeing a slave I had obtained obediently.

You have to keep peeling it off and eating it sparingly.

“… No. It’s the weekend, what am I doing here? The dungeon is also a normal dungeon. Why are you lying?”

“Then I will tell you again now. It’s not a regular dungeon, it’s a hidden dungeon.”

“No, why are you saying that now!”

Her ponytail on the top of her head bounces every time she speaks her words.

You look like you want to cut it.

I decided to hit instead of cut.

Puck.

Ina Lee screamed as she hit the top of her head with moderate force.

“Ouch!”

I put my hands together and said.

“Thanks to you, I am alive. Thank you.”

“Ai. What kind of stupid thing is this really.”

“If you are dissatisfied, you can die. Do you want to die?”

“….”

I added, reminding her of her position once more and rubbing the blades of her hands.

“Mine is subject to immediate disposition.”

“… Did you really let me live for this?”

“There is that too. There are things to come.”

“What is your future job?”

“We have to deal with the remaining demons as well.”

“….”

It looks amazing.

Before he died, he cried out for help, please, and then his attitude changed like flipping his palm. It’s absurd.

Does he originally have a brazen personality?

Because he is a demon, his personality may be strange, or he may have an inherently brazen personality.

I put my weight on the latter.

“… Hmm.”

I remembered her character of this dungeon as I watched her standing there dumbfounded.

This hidden dungeon hidden here is a themed dungeon and has a total of three themes.

Personality, Fear, Desire.

Each theme has different clear conditions and different rewards. There is an ordeal that fits the theme of the theme, and if you overcome it, you can receive a reward at the same time as clearing it.

I have already explained it to the children. In particular, Go Soo-young and Choi Ji-seong, who knew the contents, explained in detail so as not to interfere. So you won’t have any trouble. Han Chul-woo has a higher fighting power than Choi Ji-seong, so he’ll do well on his own.

The problem is me.

The snow is getting stronger. I was using my tentacles to make it look like an umbrella. In the case of Choi Ji-seong and Ko Soo-young, the clearing conditions are related to either one or the other.

What are my clear conditions?

You must clear this theme to move on to the next theme.

Let’s start by examining the surroundings.

I used my clairvoyance and found an old cabin tucked away in the middle of a snowy field. It is not very cold because of its high health ability, but it can be adversely affected by exposure to a cold environment for a long time.

Should I warm my body first over there?

I took Ina Lee, who was completely white, and headed to the cabin.

* * *

When Choi Ji-seong opened his eyes, only Go Soo-young was by his side.

“As Mir said, we are the only ones here.”

“That, that’s right….”

I was tired of taking classes related to dungeon studies. That’s why I know the types of hidden dungeons quickly.

However, there is a difference between reading about it and actually experiencing it. So it took me a while to accept the situation.

“Mir said it was a themed dungeon. Let’s move on as he told us.”

“Yes.”

The two relied on each other and overcame the dungeon as Ymir had told them.

As I was leisurely strolling in the grass where the sun was shining warmly and the wind was blowing coolly, low-class monsters such as goblins came out.

The two dealt with the monster.

Walk like that and deal with monsters, walk again and deal with monsters… As I repeat it, I suddenly feel uneasy.

Why does the same scene keep repeating itself?

After a while, another monster appeared. The two of them dealt with the monster without even having time to answer the question. Then, after taking a short break, the two continued walking along the forest path.

Unsettlingly, the same scene was repeated over and over again.

“You can’t keep doing this, can you?”

Then a different scene finally came out. A stone statue appeared between the two paths. It is a stone statue with a ghastly impression that looks like a demon.

“What, what… this.”

“A stone statue?”

When Choi Ji-seong touched the stone statue, the stone statue shimmered and a phrase of light appeared.

* * *

Cheol-Woo Han woke up in the middle of the city. He forgot that he had entered the dungeon and stared at the city in a daze.

“Phantom-kun.”

After a while, I realized that it was an illusion, but there is still no difference from reality. It’s like thin. It’s probably proof that it’s not a frivolous dungeon. Han Cheol-woo narrowed his eyes and muttered.

“Anyway… They say it brings disaster.”

I’ve contacted the secretary’s office of the Hanseong Guild just in case, so there’s little chance of getting in trouble.

This is because these virtual dungeons are eventually located within a limited space and time, so even if the environments are all different, if you spend time, you can break through the dungeon’s environment and rescue the castaway.

‘Choi Ji-sung, what good is he trying to help with the missing screw?’

Choi Ji-seong responded to the dungeon exploration saying that he was worried about sending Ymirman Dungeon.

Did you become interested in Ymir because of the reading circle?

It looks like that.

As the eldest son of the Hansung Group, he was deeply concerned about the news of the academy. So, he already knew about the incident in which the cadets took an oath.

‘Annoying.’

And Han Chul-woo was worried about Ji-seong Choi, so he participated in the dungeon exploration. But already regrets come flooding in. To waste time on trivial things like this. His own time is wasted.

“aaa!”

At that moment, I heard a scream.

When I turn my head, a red crack is forming in the middle of the road.

Cheolwoo Han knows what that is.

‘Red Gate.’

Dungeons are created before they are created naturally, and can usually be known in advance through the wave of magic.

So, in the current generation, there are very few cases of casualties caused by Red Gate.

Han Cheol-woo laughed bitterly.

‘Is this my ordeal?’

A huge monster came out of the Red Gate. The ogre-like monster had two heads. It was a twin-headed ogre.

Han Cheol-woo grabbed the sword.

Kwoaaa!

The ogre that had just come out of the gate ran like a bull and swung his bat. The bat tore apart people who had been frozen and unable to comprehend the situation.

‘Anyway, the bugs…. It’s terribly weak.’

Han Cheol-woo watched the scene expressionlessly and then moved toward the ogre.

* * *

I walked for a long time. He used his clairvoyance to fixate on the hut, the target, and as he walked, the hut came close enough to be seen.

I walked harder and seemed to be able to reach the cabin soon. However, walking and walking does not shorten the distance.

That’s strange.

I walked further in that state. Then a voice erupted from behind.

“Mistress, hey….”

“… ?”

Looking back, Lee In-ah pursed her lips and let out her displeasure.

“I can’t walk anymore. How long do you plan on walking?”

I gently pulled out the blade of her hand toward the whining woman.

Then she made her cry.

“It’s really too much.”

From noble mtl dot com

Come to think of it, she wasn’t feeling well. Seeing his pale blue appearance, he looked as if he would die of frostbite any moment.

Because he’s a demon, he won’t die so easily.

Unlike me, who is a health monster, it seems that his health stats are relatively lacking.

“Uh.”

In that moment, I realized something important.
