Honestly, It was unexpected.
It didn’t matter that Sujin wasn’t with me now, but that was no reason for me to break my bottom half at the age of 24. Even after I applied Potion, my waist still hurt because Potions didn’t work well on this kind of injury.
“Huh.”
I huddled my aching waist.
Eek.
Suddenly, Sehwa opened her eyes and looked up at me blankly.
“Oops! Don’t worry, your father is strong!”
But was she doing fine? Unexpectedly, Sehwa’s weight had increased by 4 times more than before.
“Papa papa papa! Pauung!”
When I pretended to be fine, it made her feel better again, so she shouted lively.
Ah this was too much of a big deal. Why was she so cute? This cuteness and loveliness that couldn’t exist in reality.
But it existed here because of my daughter!
“Sehwa~ya~!”
When I reached out my hand to hug Sehwa…
“Damn.”
Suddenly, a person’s voice disturbed me.
I didn’t know who that person was, but how dare they curse in front of a kid? Huh?
When I turned around, a man with a snout was snooping next to Sehwa. When did he approach us? I must have missed him approaching, when my waist hurt earlier.
This was why a waist was very important. A human was a vertebrate after all.
“Eiss, easy. Do I look like a crazy bastard to you, huh?”
I feel like I want to make you a crazy bastard, though.
I was glad Sehwa couldn’t understand what he was talking about. But from the way he talked, he was talking too freely. That was still too bad, no matter how much of a liberal country this was.
As soon as I entered the 50th floor, I cast off the Barrier. Due to it, the Snout could see me and Sehwa directly.
“Are you really there? Hyun Minjun?”
But he did know that I was here. Snout doesn’t look like he had that much talent, but…. It was not necessary for the Snout to be skillful after all.
“Sehwa. Would you like to be here for a minute?”
“Ppa~!”
When I put her down in the flower garden, she looked at the butterflies and flowers and got on her feet. The flower garden went well together with her. Maybe the flowers were made in advance for our Sehwa!
Ah, now that we were on the 50th floor, wouldn’t her sneeze be full with ‘breath’?
“You have to play quietly.”, I said.
I patted Sehwa’s soft hair, who didn’t even look at me.
“You’re really here. Hyun Minjun.”
Some of the Barrier was cleared, so Sehwa came out of hiding.
“Wow! This bastard, you really have a kid.”
Wow! This bastard, do you want to get hit?
I presumed Snout was a wizard hunter. Just looking at his wand and robes, I could guess that much. My reasoning ability seemed to shine even more.
By the way, the way Snout looked at me, made me feel bad.
What was he looking at? That’s right. He gave off that look of a viewer watching a monkey eating bananas at the zoo! That little jerk…
“I am Jang Kanghun.”
For some reason, the Snout called himself with a different name, which was slightly good.
Hold on. Jang Kanghun. Jang Kanghun. Jang Kanghun. Jang Kanghun.
I felt like I heard this name often…
Spending 1587 years in the Initial Dungeon didn’t mean that my memories of 24 years of living on Earth had disappeared. I remembered how to use the association office, the administration office, a smartphone and other cultural properties without any problem.
But this wasn’t important. Nothing came to mind as my brain tried to kick around for information, but only found hollowness.
“You’re Kanghun, nice to meet you! I never thought I’d see my alumni in this place.”
Tada~ First tip! In this case, let’s use the word alumni. Alumni. It was a miracle word that could include elementary school, middle school, high school, and university.
But, his expression looked bad. Ah, maybe this!
“Kanghun hyung?”
“This bastard, are you kidding me?”
No, I was being serious. I wanted to see if the title was wrong, so I called him ‘hyung’, but he looked like he hated it.
Ho Ho… I got it, he was just a complete stranger to me, right?
Tada~ Second tip! In this case, I could just use the administrator’s authority and dig up the other person’s information.
[The Snout (Jang Kanghun)]
-Mirage: 83rd floor
-Class: Crimson Wizard
-Owned Skill: <Open Up>
-Possessed title: <Open Up>
-Attack Dungeon: <Open Up>
-Contractor: Arcane One
-Patronage: Dark Watcher, Absolute Zero, Origin Eater, Frustrated Wanderer
-Awakening Date: August 7, 2013
Ah! He had Arcane One as his contractor! Ah! He also had 4 patrons!
His specs were quite full. He even had a contractor and his mirage level was at 83rd floor. Of course, if he broke through the 51st floor, the reservation item disappeared.
He was a pretty good hunter…..
Oh, I remember now. The Crimson Wizard, Jang Kanghun.
He was one of the best hunters in Korea. Wizards were limited and he was a man who has the ability of the top three. But Jang Kanghun was not just famous for his skills and position. There was another reason why he was so famous, that made me appreciate Jang Kanghun very much.
“The Scarlet Crimson…..”
In the early days of awakening, the hunter gave himself a nickname in an interview! Then, everyone fell in love with the youthful spirit of the man who just graduated from high school. On the internet, he praised himself like ‘hoo hoo, I’m the Scarlet Crimson, Jang Kanghun! I will use my flame to bring down the Darkness’.
In particular, there was no need for me to explain how much I admired him, since we both were the same age… .
-Kkadeuk!
Jang Kanghun gnashed his teeth.
“I don’t know what you’re doing, you bastard, but I know one thing. You’ve made at least 5 mistakes to me today.”
The years have eaten away his ambition and in the recent interview with Jang Kanghun, he treated his first interview like a history. It was a pity.
[<Arcane One> watches this situation with a curious gaze]
The person who sent Jang Kanghun has appeared.
This message was only visible to me. Probably, this seemed more dramatic for the contractor of Jang Kanghun. Arcane One.
He was crazy about magic and accidentally transcended. There was no other meaning at all when he sent me his contractor Jang Kanghun. He was just curious. Just curious. He was purely curious about what the Initial Wizard was like. He maybe didn’t even have a plan to figure it out. It was possible because he was only crazy about magic.
“You’re being urged by the Arcane One. Follow me. Don’t even think to bounce off.”
Jang Kanghun said and pointed to the stairs to the 51st floor. The Realm Guild members who guarded the place were as stiff as wax.
It might be because Jang Kanghun was an executive of The Realm Guild who definitely had skills unlike Slender.
Whoo~
They must have been surprised by the sudden appearance of a classy person like him.
-Degereuk
Even in the midst of that, I couldn’t do anything with my deep gaze, so I kept rolling my eyes. Then it seemed like I could hear a sound.
[<Arcane Circle> Recommend you to stop moving between floors.]
The contractor intervened.
“Arcane One….. ?”
Jang Kanghun tilted his head because of the message.
“Hey, what’s going on?”
“Shh! Stay. Now Arcane One told me not to go to the other floor.”
Even among the contractors, they were provided a real-time broadcasting to see the hunters supported, like Arcane One.I felt like I got involved with the Realm Guild all day long, right?
[<Arcane One> strongly requests you (Zone 5 Administrator) to open some zones which are prohibited using skills.]
[Do you want to accept?]
[<Daughter who loves her dad❤> is having fun.]
Oh my, before that, I had also been involved with Sehwa all day.
When I glanced, the butterflies were twirling around Sehwa. It was not a monster, but a normal butterfly. They were the inhabitants of the Mirage. Instinctively, they recognized the existence of the dragon.
Anyway, as a result, it looked like the Realm Guild held my ankle all day. When I went home, I would be throwing away all the electronic products from the Realm Company.
I didn’t like going to the 51st floor because it was troublesome, and there was also Sehwa. However, I could use the magic power even when the skill was prohibited here. Even if I politely ignored Jang Kanghun’s guide to the 51st floor, that would be enough. But it was difficult to ignore the contractor’s request.
This man, it was clear that he just wanted to see the administrator’s authority.
[You ask <Arcane One> for the support necessary to open some of the skill-prohibited zones.]
I wouldn’t do it for free. This was a request from Arcane One, not the other transcendentalists, but Arcane One! Loosening the skill-prohibited zones was harder than releasing the green belt!
[<Arcane One> patrons you…..]
Huh? NG! Cut! Wait!
Didn’t you know I said I wouldn’t receive patronage?
[<Arcane One> is being polite and apologizes to you.]
It was really efficient to be able to text. Even though it made me unsure whether Arcane One was really apologizing with courtesy or was just scratching his groin.
[<Arcane One> offers the reward as an apology.]
1.1,000 crystals
2. Equipment-Arcane Wand
3. Active Skill-Protect Barrier
Ehm, this was a big one. In this case, I could feel his sincereness again! I could forgive him for sending me his contractor, the free-speaking and snouty contractor. There was nothing to worry about now.
The amount of crystals was twice the monthly rent I received today. It poured into the inventory. The weight of inventory made me feel good.
In fact, if I were to say…..
[Equipment-Arcane Wand]
Arcane One was the one who made the Arcane Wand and there were only 10 of it. Only those contractors who were favored by Arcane One and had a very friendly relationship with Arcane One that might have those.
-Magic Attack +5,000%
-Magic Defense +2,500%
-Magic Power efficiency +200%
-[Active Skill] Acquire Mystic Arrow
*If the skill is already acquired, the performance will be enhanced.
The Arcane Wand, with that crazy ability, was worth more than 1,000 crystals.
Did the watchers usually give the hunter equipment? Well, not really. This was not a ‘sacred object’, but it was still a special class of weapons called ‘castings’. Some people would even like to buy it for 10 billion, even 100 billion. Not only the watcher, but objects given by other transcendentalists were quite worthy.
If Jang Kanghun knew about this, his eyeballs would pop out. The equipment he carried might be useful, but it was not as good as the Arcane Wand.
The problem is, I couldn’t sell it. Equipment with a certain level of performance is attributed to the hunter’s soul. Not to mention ‘casting’ weapons, those were imputed!
Reward number 3 was not worth considering at all. Protect Barrier.
As one of Arcane One’s long-term magic, a special defense magic that would make any other wizard hunter drool … But it was not very attractive to me.
[<Arcane One> is disappointed by your choice.]
If you were going to be disappointed, why don’t you present me your crystal? If that was the case, I would have asked for it openly. It would be nice.
[<Arcane One> attempts to transfer the energy required to open some of the skill-prohibited zones to the control room.]
[Do you want to accept?]
Okay, thank you! Okay, Sattala! Okay, accept!
