A lovely baby was held in my arms constantly looking around.
“Are you curious?”
“Ppa ppa ppa ppa ppa ppa ppa!”
With a short question I asked, she flutter her body and jumped in my arms .
She look very excited.
The Initial Dungeon was unlimitedly wide.
From glaciers to deserts, from alpine mountains to caves, it had a variety of nature. But.
The high-tower building!
The people who wondering about their destination and the busy cars!
Loud noise!
Breathtaking fumes and fine dust!
All of this for this baby, is new, for my daughter Sehwa.
Although I used fantasy magic to show her the view of the Earth.
No matter how high the level of fantasy magic is.
Our Sehwa instinctively feels that it is only a fiction.
I don’t feel as excited as she do.
“Kkyaa!”
Sehwa eyes glittering and burst into excitement as she looked at the passing cars.
It’s best to see it in person. It must be amazing to see a lump of iron moving along in a set line.
Beyond the forest of buildings, I could see a plain looking stone tower that did not match in the big city.
With my daughter tightly in my arms, I was deeply moved.

1st January, 2010
Gate, Dungeon, and Mirage appeared, the human race faced a cataclysm.
[You awakened as a Hunter.]
[Continues the tutorial.]
I am twenty-four years old and a good fortune was far from me but it eventually come to me.
Tutorial.
The difficulty and substance here determine the basic quality of the Hunter.
I desperately hoped that I would be lucky enough to be in the A-rank, or B-rank.
[You’ve entered <The Initial Dungeon>]
[Difficulty level: EX]
[Entrance : 1 person]
[Clear Condition: Hunting The Death Dragon.]
Wait. This isn’t right.
* * *
Every day was like hell.
The difficulty of the dungeons is divided from the easy sequence, the D-C-B-A Rank, to the special S-Rank, and the other rank than that is EX.
The tutorial is also same.
Ten years from cataclysm.
Only four people in the world have finish the S-Rank Tutorial, all of them are called Guardians of the world.
The people finish the A-rank tutorial is called the Next-Generation Hero, and treated as a huge prospect.
Even though they gathered, they couldn’t finish the EX-Rank dungeon.
And here, they want me to finish the EX-Rank tutorial?
[3 Special Benefits of The EX-Rank Tutorial!]
Fortunately, three benefits were given.
[1. A year of the <Initial Dungeon > equivalent to one minute on the Earth.]
[2. You don’t get old in the <Initial Dungeon>.]
Are you kidding me?
Those benefits didn’t help comforting my mental health.
The interpretation is like this.
Don’t think you can die from getting old, human!
If you want to die, the just escape…….
[3. In < The Initial Dungeon >, even if you die you can resurrect without limit .]
“Blergh!”
When I saw the ridicule that I could not get out of this hell even if I died in a way other than aging, I really feel nauseous.
* * *
Time has passed.
Flowing, flowing and flowing again.
[Repeat Quest〈Catch Goblin (100/100) succeeded!]
[Repeat Quest <Catch Hobgoblin (10/10) succeeded>!]
Other people will finish by catching 10 goblins.
[All the Goblin in the <Initial Dungeon> are hostile to you.]
I can’t believe I’ve been hostiled in this Initial Dungeon
Oh! So scared!
That’s it.
Anyway. As long as I’m trapped in the tutorial, the Initial Dungeon is my whole world, and I was hostile from the whole world.
That is the hostile message.
Originally, if you are visible to them, they will attack and chase if you pass near their territory.
The goblin always followed me so i don’t think of them as enemy.
One thing is unfair.
They hit the first punch.
I was only self-defense, after all I was pushed by the quest. I couldn’t help it.
[Hidden Quest <Catch King Goblin> (1 of 1) succeeded!]
Let’s keep it a secret that the goblin hunt is a repeated quest and that the hidden quest has been repeated too much.
But why the message I’ve been waiting for doesn’t appearing ?
“Keugh…”
“Oh, my God! There’s someone who’s still breathing. Haha, I’m so clumsy.”
-Kkwang!
When Hobgoblin stopped breathing, a satisfactory message came up.
[All the Goblin “The Initial Dungeon” has been exterminated.]
Not only the Goblin.
Ork, Auger, Troll, LizardMan, Zombie, Skeleton, Ghost, Golem, Wyverns, the seeds of all kinds of Monsters have been dried up.
Eum. The undead series like golem, I don’t know what it’s name. Anyway, I’ve dried them up too.
“Dead!Human!”
“Huh? Who? Me?”
“There is no another human being besides you!”
“Uwa, it’s sad. Dirty racial discrimination.”
Some of them are also smart talking to people, such as Elf, Dwarf, Vampire, Suin, Mermaid and others, as they thought people would be afraid if they see a monsters.
“Found it! The enemy of my parents’ friend’s!”
“You’ve came! The son of a friend of an Elf’s I killed!”
Intelligent creatures who tended follow in anger is the reasons why they did not become intelligent.
Meanwhile.
“What is this?”
The only thing i’ve met was a lifesaver that wasn’t hostile to me
Rather than hostiling me, it was like me that also hostile to the world
Maybe because The Death Dragon is the boss.
The identity was a gold dragon who was boasted with reminiscent of golden
When I first saw him, he was covered in blood, so I thought he was a The Blood Dragon.
“Kkyu?”
The Gold Dragon is 30 centimeters tall and the ratio of body to head was 3:1, so it was a three-body figure.
I gave The Gold Dragon a refined name that suited him well.
“Nurungaa!”
“Kkyuuu!”
Nurung roared with delight because he liked it.
Open his eyes and bite my hand.
No matter how small he is, it is a violent affection expression to the strongest creature, dragon.
* * *
Actually, he’s not the strongest creature.
Nurung was pretty weak.
“Kkyuuu.”
I should have guessed from the time he was covered in blood in the Slime cave.
Still, Nurung was a great help to me.
When i collapsed from dehydration.
Nurung came to feed me with water from the lake a kilometer away. I was salivating, but thanks to him, I survived.
When fighting the giants.
Nurung easily cut off the giant’s achilles tendon while pulling the Ork to blocking one of the giant’s nostrils.
When fighting with the Wyverns.
Nurung flew up to the pose of a murdered adult, so we could avoid tracking and counterattack. Well. I threw him.
It was helpful just to stay with me, leaving all the little things behind.
We ate together, we slept together, and when there was no battle, we hugged or I put him on my head.
“Thank you.”
“Kkyu?”
“I decided. I’m not going to see you as emergency food anymore.”
“Kkyuuuu!”
Embarrassed by my tingling comment, the Nurung bit my finger again and showed off his affection.
I wish The Death Dragon was this big!
***
I really didn’t expect 30 centimeter.
Surprisingly, The Death Dragon was an insider, and there were a lot of fallen dragons around me that I played with.
Even those were over 30 meters long.
“About 30 kilometers.”
The lenght about from head to tail.
Total size?
I don’t even want to talk about it.
Looking at the size, I want to retreat.
“Kkyuuu!!”
Our Nurung provoked The Death Dragon.
Even if he didn’t provoked it, i already made eye contact with it.
The retreat was a successful.
Since then, I’ve challenged and lost several times.
Fortunately, I did not die in the midst of it, but thanks to Death Dragon’s effort who didn’t chase after me.
And when I finally killed The Death Dragon, instead of going back to Earth.
[You’ve defeat the fragments of The Death Dragon.]
[Main Quest <Destroy the Fragments of the Death Dragon! (1/100)> The content will be update.]
I could see something wrong.
It must have been hard.
It’s crazy, flying to the past and joining forces with half-human voices to collect fragments!
At that time.
-Thank you, Mr. Hyun Minjoon.
The calm woman’s voice, which echoing directly in my head calmed the excitement.
“Nurung, is that you?”
Although it was different from ‘kyukyu’, her usual noise.
Instinctively I knew it was the voice of a Nurung who was making eye contact with me.
Was he a female?
It’s shocking news today.
-My name is Surod Zinfelkina Den Pagtriolo
“Surod Zinfelkina Den Pagtriolo de Nurung! It’s too long.”
-………..
In fact, i was more shocking to her confession that she didn’t like the name Nurung.
“Okay, Sujin.”
In the end, I got the proper initials of her name. And a long story continued………..
* * *
“Ppya?”
Yikes! That was a long reminiscence.
I stroked Sehwa’s head as she looking at me with her eyes wide open.
[Congratulations!]
[You have cleared the EX-Rank tutorial!]
Then a blinking message window appeared.
[Your class will be calculated!]
[Class: The First Wizard]
They use trumpets to tell the truth that I’ve already know. My ears hurt.
An unpleasant messages appear.
[The Guardians is very interested in the appearance finisher of the EX-Rank tutorial .]
[<The First Wizard> appearance make The Guardians shocked.]
The Guardians.
The voyeorism who had given a chance to go through transcendece, who appeared along with cataclysm.
As seen like in The classic movie <Trueman Show> or watching the celebrity entertainment program popular in Korea in the late 2010s, while watching hunters, patronizes the ones they like.
Hunters are unhappy with their support and attention.
It’s not because I’m kind of a flasher.
Their patronage is a shortcut to making Hunter stronger in the result.
Indeed, those who have signed contracts with the paetrons beyond simple patronage reigns at the peak of the Hunter world.
But.
I am burdened by their support and interest.
to be exact
I don’t need it.
Still, it is not human right to ignore them when they react like that.
“Stop staring at me, you voyeurs.”
I also waved my hands.
[Some viewers vent their anger at your words and deeds.]
[Your words and actions are greeted with a burst of laughter by some viewers.]
[Some viewers apologise for your words and actions.]
[Some viewers are offended by your words and actions.]
Was it too weak?
Still, it’s not polite to go too aggressively since it’s our first meeting.
“There are a lot of people who don’t like it. Would you like to come down? Oh, you can’t come down. You’re a contractor, so send me one, too.”
Stretch out my middle finger to be polite, then reach out to the message.
Hunter can’t interfere with the system.
It’s like pulling a message with a side-pushing gesture.
I used to be like that too.
-Stretching!
Living in the Initial Dungeon, I’ve developed some miscellaneous skills.
The message window trembles like an electrocuted creature.
The text was crushed and the message window itself was scattered.
Although the viewers are pretty good, they need a peek hole called the system to see non-contractors in dungeons and mirages.
I just plugged up the hole.
[<The Lifes Predator> is watching you.]
That gentleman is now digging a new hole with tenacity and grit.
I’m embarrassed because I’ve been looking down.
I twisted my body.
[<The Lifes Predator> is unhappy with your reaction.]
Soon, I could feel the eyes tickling the top of my head.
Heuung
The twisted guy is not twisted but the wacky guy is twisted.
“Ppa, Ppa!”
“Yes, yes, I’m done talking to strange people.”
If I looking at Sehwa, Nurung… Oh no, Sujin comes to mind.
Of course it is
At first glance, she looks like a normal baby who is very pretty, cute, and lovely.
In addition to the short-necked limbs, a pair of tiny little wings have a short tail.
There is a small horn, long as thumb, on the head.
This child that I have to raise her alone from now on.
She’s a dragon.
