81 – Debut (1)

“Here.”

A dilapidated building located opposite the Capitol.

We stood in front of a densely lined barbed wire fence and a sign saying no entry.

“Are you really going to be okay?”

Shia made a worried expression.

“Don’t worry.”

“Can’t I just go?”

“Shiya, are you satisfied with the present? You must become stronger.”

“That’s right, but… .”

As if I couldn’t help it, I took out my smartphone.

“If you’re really worried, go back. Eugene will find it and take it.”

“no!”

Shia vehemently denies it.

“?”

“Eugene unni will be more dangerous. I’ll go.”

Unlike before, he seemed eager. I don’t know why, but Sia was sensitive to Eugene’s words.

The moment you try to touch the barbed wire with a smile on your face.

“Brother, wait a minute. They say high-voltage current flows.”

Sia pointed to the notice attached to the barbed wire.

[Precautions]

– High voltage current is flowing. Never touch!

-Do not enter the building. You may lose your precious life.

-If you see any abnormal signs, please contact us immediately at the number below.

“f*ck this.”

I smashed the caution sign with force.

Then, he threw it loosely on the floor on one side.

“Did you see it? The high-voltage current just scares you.”

“… I see. But how do you know this?”

said scratching his head.

“You can read a lot of books.”

“… … .”

Shia put on an expression that seemed to have a lot to say.

Ignoring it lightly, I roughly tore off the barbed wire with my hands.

“… Are the seven untitled dungeons so lax?”

“If you’re not a crazy person like me, you probably didn’t come anyway.”

“ah.”

Sia nodded her head with an expression of understanding.

“Let’s go in.”

“Yeah.”

“ah.”

As I was about to enter the entrance, I paused for a moment and said,

“I forgot to say this.”

“What do you mean?”

“When you enter the dungeon, just do what I tell you to do. Otherwise, I might die.”

Sia nodded her head nervously.

**

An underground tomb made of earth.

Piles of skeletons were scattered all over the floor, and old ropes were dangling from the low ceiling, as if someone had tried to hang themselves.

“It is an ominous place.”

Shia looked around the dungeon and opened her mouth.

“I know.”

Tomb of Fools.

The name was given because those who set foot in the dungeon are stupid and foolish.

‘It was built simply.’

However, if you think about it, it was a very appropriate name.

People who enter this dungeon are like moths throwing themselves into the fire.

“Brother over there!”

Sia pointed forward.

A bizarre appearance that looks like a mix between a zombie and an elf.

It was a ghoul, also known as a demonic form.

“Looks like dozens. If it’s a silver bullet, it can be dealt with quickly.”

A rifle was in Shia’s hand.

“You can’t kill me.”

I hurriedly stopped Shia.

“?”

Sia looked at her with a puzzled expression. I whispered quietly

“It’s a trap.”

“Yeah?”

The tips of Sia’s eyebrows trembled.

“They are self-destructive ghouls.”

“… A self-destruct ghoul?”

Self-destruct ghoul.

They are literally sacrificing their own bodies to self-destruct.

Unlike other ghouls, which could be easily caught even if they were only C-class, they were troublesome.

The moment you attack, you will immediately self-destruct.

The problem is that its power is such that it can blow up an entire city.

When it comes to S-class hunters, one will explode. I’ll defend it somehow.

What if dozens or hundreds explode at the same time?

No matter how S-class you are, your body will disintegrate.

“Is this your first time hearing that?”

“That’s why it’s an American dungeon.”

The answer to this dungeon.

You know, it was very simple.

Ironically, however, it is a structure that a Hunter can never know.

“Can I go without touching the ghoul?”

“Yeah.”

That is, to avoid without fighting.

A dungeon is a place where you come to kill monsters. What kind of hunter would just walk past a monster in front of him?

I will definitely swing my sword at least once.

then bullsh*t and explode.

hundreds. No, with thousands of self-destructing monsters.

“The same goes for other monsters. The slightest touch or attack will cause it to explode. Never attack.”

“… It is not a place to hunt.”

Shia walked forward with a puzzled expression on her face.

“be careful. It explodes the moment you touch it.”

“… Yeah.”

We stopped in front of a swarm of self-destructing ghouls.

I had to break through here to be able to move forward.

– aaah!

A group of ghouls rushed at us all at once.

However, because they were slow, Shia and I easily avoided capture.

“No. Shiaya, from there you have to bend further in the direction of 45 degrees.”

“Yeah?”

“Whether it’s a monster or a human, shouldn’t you also counter? If you bow that much, the follow-up hits before you even counter.”

I began to give lessons while observing Shia.

“Hey, you should have raised your legs and widened them.”

The ghoul’s arm flew off. I leaned over and brushed my teeth.

“Aren’t you paying attention? Ugh! burst! When it explodes, we all die!”

Shia was surrounded by ghouls. After barely escaping by rolling on the ground, he made an unfair expression.

“You say that in this situation?!”

“Two people behind!”

“Ugh.”

Sia sat down without a chance to look back. Of course it was Gura. I ran as hard as I could.

“hahahaha!”

**

Actually, even calling this dungeon a dungeon is ambiguous.

There is no fighting part, everything is like this. Avoid pitfalls.

That’s why we didn’t bring other kids even though it was an opportunity to build very important achievements as the starting point for our guild.

Rather, dangerous situations could have been created. That is the secret of the Tomb of the Fool, one of these ‘Seven Difficulties’.

No matter how strong it was, there was a hidden side behind it that could not be cleared.

Rather, it is a dungeon that the weak who are afraid of fighting can clear.

I thought I had a good name for once. The graves of fools, I’m not kidding anyone.

“Heh, heh.”

Sia, who followed, put her hands on her knees and let out a quick breath.

“What’s so hard about that?”

I glanced back, holding back a laugh.

Sia’s face turned red.

“My brother is really… !”

It was natural to have such a reaction. It was because the ghouls’ aggro was focused on Sia because I was the only one who came out of it.

“It’s a joke, a joke. Still, there are many things to be gained from this dungeon, but God hates it if you don’t suffer at all.”

“What is God… ”

Shia sighed and wiped her face. The stain on the white skin spread for a long time instead of being erased. I thought about applying acupuncture, but I held back.

“Go next. brother.”

“Why aren’t you angry?”

“… I’ve never been angry with my brother.”

“It is, however.”

“Because your brother is right.”

“yes?”

“The saying that you can’t win without any effort. That’s what my dad always says.”

‘Did I say that?’

I was just saying that I didn’t want to tamper with it.

After all, it’s not up to you to interpret anything. good was good

– Knock.

After coming out of the so-called ‘ghoul zone’, we walked alone in a cave-like area.

The faint sound of water drops added to the tension. Sia was walking cautiously in all directions, and it looked like a cat with its fur upright. Having come up with an interesting idea, I lowered my voice and said.

“be careful. If you count it as a raid from here, it’s page 2.”

Sia answered with a small “yes” and moved a little closer to me.

“Wow!”

“Kyaaah!”

I made a loud noise, and Shia was startled and collapsed. She was still looking up at me with her heart beating. said with a grin.

“It’s good.”

“… … .”

“That’s it. From here on, it’s just that the road is a bit difficult. There are no monsters.”

“… I won’t believe you next time.”

Sia stood up with a pout and brushed off the dust.

“By the way, brother, how do you know this?”

I wasn’t an orangutan. I was quite used to this kind of sound, so the excuse was natural.

“Chae, I saw it in a book.”

“… If you don’t want to tell me, say no. If there were such a book in the world, it would cost several trillion won.”

“really?!”

A loud voice echoed through the cave several times. Sia cowered like a meerkat.

“Oh, it’s a surprise.”

‘Shall I write a book?’

It is the life of a writer.

It didn’t seem like a bad life either. However, I soon realized that I didn’t even know how to spell properly, and I gave up.

Anyway we walked, and soon we reached a checkpoint I knew.

“It’s a crossroads.”

“I have eyes too.”

“… … ”

“M-I’m sorry. It’s a joke, but there’s no need to be so outraged.”

After walking for about 10 minutes, we finally arrived at a fork in the road.

There were three branches. The first way was written ＜ 1 + 1 = 2 ＞, the second way was ＜ 1 x 1 = 1 ＞, and the third was ＜ 1 ÷ 1 = 1＞.

“Mathematics… ?”

“What is your math score?”

“I.”

Shia quietly stepped back.

I gazed curiously.

She said as she put her hands together.

“Three points… ”

“… … .”

“That, that. English is 100 points, but I’m a little weak in math.”

“Siya, you were born abroad.”

“How did you know?”

“Can you take a look in the mirror? Which Korean has blue eyes?”

Apparently, our Sia is a young jambyeong other than shooting guns.

I decided that the time had come to show the dignity of the guild leader, and put my hand on my waist.

“Do you know what the name of this dungeon is?”

“’The grave of the fool’.”

“Did you learn at the academy? The title of ‘Hidden Dungeon’ is not made by humans. It’s what the system builds.”

“Yeah. It’s basic common sense. I know.”

“Did you know that you can change your name if you clear it?”

Sia nodded her head coldly.

It’s also the highest honor for a Hunter, so you won’t be able to know.

‘Hidden Dungeon’ informs the ‘name’ to the first discoverer.

And the first clearer is given the right to ‘change the name’.

It’s very obvious common sense, but surprisingly, there is a tip that most hunters don’t know.

“So, there is a very, very close relationship. Clear, and the name of the dungeon.”

“… The name of the dungeon and clearing it are related?”

“Then what did you think? Did you think God gave it to you because he was bored?”

“Not that. I thought you were simply explaining the theme.”

I grinned.

“The system never tells the player anything useless.”

“then… It is also the grave of fools.”

“that’s right. Literally, stupid bastards fall behind. Can you tell just by looking at the problem? You’re blatantly trying to weed out the fool.”

Shia blinked.

“I was intimidated by the numbers, but now I see the problem… ”

“Why is the problem?”

“It wasn’t made by elementary school students, isn’t it too easy? There is no wrong problem.”

I frowned.

“You say that problem is easy?”

“… Yeah?”

“It’s f*cking difficult, no matter how you look at it. It’s difficult, so no one can clear it.”

“Yes Yes? No, are you kidding?”

I was always sincere.

When I first came here, the problem was difficult, so the choice I made was rather the right answer.

before returning.

I came here reluctantly and heard only one piece of information from the state.

‘Pass without killing the ghoul.’

Then, the space that came out is here.

I broke the wall next to me in anger after having a headache over a difficult math problem.

“The answer to the question is… ”

I turned to one side of the wall.

I clenched my fist and poured mana into it.

And three f*cking hits!

Kwaaang-!

The wall of the cave collapsed and a space came out.

“… !”

“It is said that stupid people search, and I never said that even the most ignorant bastard does.”

It was the explanation given in the clear information section.

‘The bastard who made this will also praise you for being smart.’

If you go in thinking that all three problems at the crossroads are correct, you are wrong.

‘Still, it’s the last gateway to the Hidden Dungeon, would you have made it that easy? You’re a fool to believe that Fools don’t deserve to live, so die.’ With the phrase, the floor collapses and goes down to hell.

In other words, this was the only correct answer.

Rumor has it that only a genius named ‘Han Seong-hoon’ could solve the difficult problem that no one in the world could clear.

“after… I’m a real f*cking genius.”

Admiring himself, he rubbed his palms.

“Okay, then let’s eat well.”
