Dungeon House 56

Dungeon House chapter 56

“It’s a mercenary system.”

[It seems that the dungeon attack is not as good as expected. Seeing that such a system has been added.]

[You are a mercenary. It’s a nostalgic sound.]

[I think it would be better for us to attack the dungeon as a mercenary rather than be assigned a new dungeon and attack it.

“I think so.”

A new function was added to the dungeon site as an update.

The mercenary system was a method in which dungeon explorers in dungeons with less than two-thirds of the dungeon attack period applied for it, and dungeon explorers spending their free time accepted the request.

In the case of compensation, in addition to the compensation offered by the client who applied for the mercenary, the compensation given when attacking the dungeon is given in addition.

In addition, the free time given after attacking the dungeon was to be given the same.

For such a reward, if you are a skilled dungeon explorer and guild, it is much more beneficial to work as a mercenary. But what I was concerned about was why the mercenary system was added.

“According to the explanation of the operating bureau, he said that he was not a doctor of the operating bureau, but a doctor above him. But the mercenary system was added… … . It won’t be long now, will it?”

[I will.]

Through the mercenary system, it helps other dungeon explorers capture the dungeon.

As Chris said a while ago, there may be a reason why the dungeon attack was not done as desired by the upper level, but it is probably because this feature will be ‘must have’ in the future.

Currently, the mana that continues to escape from the dungeon is spreading throughout the world. As a result, the mana density of the world is increasing day by day.

“Kris. What is the difference between the current mana density inside the dungeon and the mana density outside?”

[There are still quite a few differences. However, mana density rises faster than expected, so it is likely to be the same within a year. Or maybe a little faster than that. That’s why the mercenary system was added.]

[Use the mercenary system to attack as many dungeons as possible in case the mana density of the dungeon and the world becomes the same, and at the same time, try to further develop the existing talents.

is not enough.]

[There is nothing wrong with us.]

“okay. There is nothing wrong with us.”

But the changes that will happen in the world had to be concerned.

Of course, that’s an obvious story. Whether the monsters pour out of the world in the dungeon or make a public announcement before that, the existence of the monsters will be revealed in the world. Not only that, but dungeon explorers like us, those who use mana, will also appear.

This will cause many problems. The biggest problem among them is that all these changes are just the beginning.

Currently, the Earth is being invaded by this world, and that change is the first step in a full-scale invasion.

Catastrophe Demon Dragon, Gloria.

I still remember its absolute existence. Such beings are our enemies. Moreover, there is no guarantee that she will be the final boss, the enemy’s supreme commander.

The power to which such a being belongs becomes the enemy, and the war begins in earnest.

It’s so scary. I’m so afraid.

If there is a place to escape, I want to run away. But the battlefield is this world, the entire planet. It sounds like there’s nowhere to run.

There is only one choice. it will resist To survive, to live.

“. You should use everything you can use. Let’s start mercenary quests from tomorrow.”

[Then you should be prepared for any contingency. Because there are people everywhere who give themselves to desire.]

[okay. There are things that are installed everywhere without knowing that life is precious.]

[i See. I have to prepare for things that are not even that of a beast.]

Obviously, this feature can be exploited sufficiently.

In the mercenary system, the client can also decide the number of mercenaries to accept as a request.

Using this point, you can take a small number of mercenaries into the dungeon and use it to subdue or eliminate them.

Previously, Kim Jung-hyuk tried to use his powers to dominate others. In the process, they even killed those who did not work.

There are many people who are driven by such desires. And they will certainly take advantage of the loopholes before the new system is in place.

“Those guys are completely eliminated. The enemy inside is the emissary.”

[The enemy inside is just as scary as an incompetent ally.]

[The traitors don’t need to live.]

[I agree. Lord.]

After we decided on our future policy, we started preparing for the dungeon attack from that day.

And the next day, I connected to the dungeon site to use the mercenary system.

“It’s a lot more than you think.”

Only one day has passed since the mercenary system was added. However, there were thousands of mercenary requests. What was more surprising was that the scope of the requested country was not limited to Korea.

“Japan, China, Russia, England, France, Finland, Denmark… … . There is no end. Is it possible to send and receive mercenary quests around the world?”

[All over the world. Wouldn’t language be a problem? First of all, there is translation magic.]

“Translation magic?”

[To be precise, it is nothing more than replacing the words that we use telepathy to connect each other’s minds with the language we know each other. The holding time is short, and it is a very difficult magic to learn. I learned it because it is convenient once I get used to it.]

“Chris, teach me too.”

same. And if possible, I will make an item with translation magic.」

“Please.”

[master. So what kind of quest are you going to do? Let’s try to make a lot of money if possible.]

Castle, a former mercenary, said in an excited voice, looking at him full of anticipation.

“It’s better than I thought.”

In the quest raised by the mercenary system, not only the grade of the dungeon, but also the number of mercenaries required, the current dungeon attack progress, the type and level of monsters that appeared and the structure of the identified dungeon were all listed.

There was also brief information about the client.

[If it is well organized like this, you may be able to receive a quest by selecting the place where the material of the monster you need is coming from. I just needed the slime core, so I’d like to receive this F-class dungeon quest. master”

[Let’s go with this! The monsters that appear are orcs and play! Because it’s a large dungeon, we recruit in guild units, but we can do it all by ourselves. The reward is quite generous compared to the difficulty.”

[I think it would be good to do this quest. The pay is small, but I felt earnestness in the request. If we don’t help, the dungeon raid will fail and they may lose their lives. Lord.]

In the case of Chris, he chose a quest to obtain materials for magic research and training, and Castle chose a quest that was easy to do with high pay. On the other hand, Kai, who was a knight during his lifetime, chose to take on a quest to help those in need, regardless of his or her pay.

The three of them chose a quest according to their own inclinations and recommended them to me. I didn’t think anything of it would be naive.

But this time, he decided to hold on to Kai’s hand.

“There is still time left for the quest that Chris chose. The quests Castle chose are high-paying, but I have enough money right now. So, I receive the quest that Kai chose.”

[This is my first request, so are you trying to do something good? Because the first quest is important. okay. master.]

[I knew. master.]

[thank you! Lord!]

“Wait a minute. Everyone seems to have misunderstood, but there is a different reason why I chose that quest.”

I displayed the quest that Kai had selected on the monitor, and then pointed my finger at the message left by the customer.

[If I could live, I would do anything! So please save me!]

“Because it is time to gradually increase the number of new contractors.”

He said so and smiled.

“I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die.”

She muttered incessantly in a voice brimming with grief. He was struggling with despair that he couldn’t get out of.

It was all about greed.

At first, he hunted monsters just to live, but after he became strong, he hunted monsters to earn money.

Just by hunting monsters, he could earn huge amounts of money and become stronger. For that reason, the dungeon explorer of her group spent time raising money by leveling up, rather than trying to attack the dungeon as if it were a game.

And it was the same with her.

Everything seemed to go according to their plan. Until just before attempting to hunt the boss monster on the 3rd floor.

It was then that they first became aware of reality. I was rewarded for enjoying reality with a sense of game.

The boss monster was a goblin commander. Although not as good as the Goblin Lord, the Goblin Commander, an entity specialized in domination and command, was smart. In a nutshell, it means that they knew the situation and knew how to use it.

Not only was the Goblin Commander given a long time, but he was also given enough information about his opponent.

As a result, the dungeon explorers saw hell.

After falling into a trap by a group of orcs and goblins controlled by the goblin commander, poisoning them, and devastating them with meticulous guerrilla tactics, only 25 people survived.

Those 25 barely survived and returned to the base. and locked up I didn’t go to the dungeon even though I knew it would weaken if I didn’t go to the dungeon for a long time.

As a result, they were at the worst. I did not go to the dungeon for a long time, so I became weak enough to survive on the first floor of the dungeon. Still, the base was connected to the 3rd floor of the dungeon. And the attack period is nearing its end.

All of the dungeon explorers in the base, including her, gave up. After the capture period was over, I spent my time in despair, fearing every day, thinking that there was only fate left to be killed by the monsters that flocked to their bases.

Meanwhile, the mercenary system was updated. At first, those in the base had hope, but soon despaired.

The mercenary who received the quest must start the dungeon attack from the first floor. Currently, the remaining attack period in the dungeon they were attacking was only a month.

The fact that it was impossible to attack the dungeon within a month was common sense, so I had no choice but to fall into despair again.

Even a glimmer of hope has disappeared and everything has been abandoned.

In such a state, she was the only one who made a request using the mercenary system.

I was in a desperate situation, but I didn’t want to die. I know it’s impossible, but I couldn’t give up even my last hope.

And time kept going.

There is only one week left until the end of the attack period. Others piled up items on all the gates of the stronghold, blocked them, and locked themselves in armed.

Whoa!

“… … under! It’s stupid. No, you are crazy.”

When her phone suddenly vibrated, she immediately checked her phone. And I had no choice but to burst out laughing. Although there was only one week left for the attack period, it was because a message arrived stating that his request had been accepted.

“Crazy. Do you want to die like that? Why the hell are you walking around with people? Oh, I must have pressed the wrong button. Hahaha.”

She turned off the screen of her phone. But in my heart, I thought that the person who received this quest might finish the dungeon raid in a week or so. Even though he was well aware that it was an absurd delusion, he held on to a glimmer of hope.

“I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die. There are still many things I want to do. I don’t want to die.

uh.”

Eventually she woke up in despair and fell asleep.

Exhausted from the sudden calming of the phone, she fell asleep, but her nerves were sharp and she woke up at once. After a while, she checked her surroundings, checked her watch on her cell phone, and found out why her phone vibrated.

“… … Nonsense.”

What she confirmed was the message that the dungeon raid was over.

“Is that a lie?”

She activated the dungeon app to check the quest search bar and the mercenary system. It was completed, and I could confirm that the quest was complete.

I couldn’t quite believe it. Only one person accepted the request. And it was less than a day after the request was accepted. But the attack is complete.

At first, it was the lowest grade, F grade, but it is a dungeon that eats the lives of dungeon explorers and has grown to F4 grade by increasing the difficulty even more. Even so, the attack was completed alone in this short amount of time.

“However……

The dungeon app has never told a lie. Still, she hesitated. But the hesitation did not last long. If you stay like this, you will starve to death. I don’t want to die. That’s why she chose to believe the message the dungeon app conveyed.

Good profit!

The door opened carefully, breaking the silence, revealing a dusty living room. She stepped slowly into the living room and headed towards the front door leading out of the house.

There were many things piled up in front of the door. It was the things that colleagues who had given up on the attack just like her had accumulated.

As long as you give up the attack, death is the same as confirmed. Even making a barricade is useless. Still, it was to lessen the fear even a little bit.

She hesitated again, but little by little she began to clear things away.

“What are you doing now?!”

A man shouted to her as she was putting things away. He was a man with dark circles under his eyes because he couldn’t sleep properly.

In the past, the image of a colleague who was more reliable than anyone else came and went, but was nowhere to be seen. Looking at the inside of the company, I was able to realize that I was not in as good a condition as that.

“Are you crazy?! Why put it away!”

“… … I want to check the contents of the message.”

“message?”

“The mercenaries say they have successfully attacked the dungeon. I got a message from the dungeon app.”

At her words, the man immediately went back to his room and checked the dungeon app on his phone. And I confirmed that what she said was true.

“I must have been wrong. Attacking the dungeon alone? Nonsense. And in such a short period of time… …

“So. I mean check it out. Well, if that message is a lie, we’ll die. But if the message is true, we can live.”

At her words, the man hesitated, as she had done before. But soon a decision was made.

“Let’s get it together.”

The two began to clear things together. After a while, colleagues from other rooms also appeared one after another. Some of them shouted bullshit and tried to stop those who tried to clear things up, while others agreed and started to clear things together.

Although it was said that it was weakened, when several dungeon explorers rushed in, all the things she had piled up were quickly removed. However, he soon mustered up the courage to open the door.

“It took a really long time.”

“to?,,

A man was standing in front of the door. A man wearing a bare white full-face mask and a leather Barbary coat over leather armor.

S, Skeleton Dragon?!”

She was surprised at the appearance of a stranger for a moment, but was startled by the strange sight that immediately caught her eye. Behind the man’s back was a giant skeleton dragon. And I was surprised once again to see a lot of skeletons around.

The others who followed her did the same. At that moment, a name popped into their minds.

Wonhyo.

At one time, he was a person who made a buzz on the free bulletin board by attacking D-class dungeons alone.

“Skeleton Dragon Master, the first four Chromancers, Wonhyo… … ? Da, are you that Wonhyo?”

“That person was Wonhyo.

“Then the real dungeon was attacked

go?!”

“We live!”

“Hahaha!”

Starting with her words, the people in the base began to rejoice at the fact that the dungeon had been attacked.

“okay. I am Wonhyo I don’t know who commissioned it, but he’s the one who accepted the request and saved you guys by attacking the dungeon.”

“thank you! Thank you very much!”

With tears on her face, she bowed her head several times to Wonhyo and Hyeonbok to express her gratitude. But Hyeonbok said firmly.

“Nothing to thank. It’s not like I didn’t work for free. ruler. Then let’s talk.”

“Yes?”

“It was clearly written on the request. If I could live, I would do anything.”

Obviously it was. There was not much time left until the attack failed, and while his strength was getting weaker day by day, he was half lost in a sense of crisis that he might die if he continued like this. He said he would do anything if he could afford it. Because it was so desperate, it was the only SOS sign she could send at the time.

“It’s different from going to the bathroom and coming out, but don’t you think you’re going to change your mind?”

chuck.

As soon as Hyeonbok finished speaking, the Castle and Kai, who were standing on the side of the glyph connected to the dungeon, moved and blocked the door from closing.

“Nothing is free in this world. There is no good will without reason.”

“… … Yes. There is no such thing as good intentions without a cause. What can I do?”

She was the first woman to open the door and come out, and she was the first to approach her. Hyeon-bok smiled under the mask, thinking that he liked her calm words that seemed to understand the situation.

And a sheet of paper prepared in advance. offered the contract.

“Sign this contract.”

Yes.”

The woman immediately signed the contract. At first he looked for a pen, but then he bit his own finger, injuring him, and signing with blood. Without checking the contents of the contract.

“It’s crazy. Signing the contract without even checking the contents.”

“I just checked.”

“Are you sure?”

“From the time the contract was presented to right before it was signed. Only from generation to generation will my soul be yours, and this fact should not be disclosed to anyone. You must not use any method that can be leaked to the outside, such as in writing or language, and must not disclose it even after death. 5% of your monthly income goes to you. It is a one-sided contract that is unfavorable to me.”

“Really.”

What she said was the contents of the contract. She really checked the contents of the contract in less than 5 seconds.

“You still signed it.”

“After all, whether you do it yourself or by force, it’s just the method that is different.”

“You are quick to understand the situation.”

As she said, Hyeon-Bok was different from the previous contractors, and this time he was going to force him to sign a contract.

On the contrary, she did not think that this contract 3] was necessarily naive. It was because he thought that he was able to enter under the shadow of a person who had the power to attack an F-class dungeon by himself in a short time, even though his soul was mortgaged, and who is said to be the number one among dungeon explorers around the world.

She assumed that Hyeon Bok was doing this to create power.

“Fufufu. It seems that I am misunderstanding something, and I intend to create useful limbs, but I do not intend to create a force myself.”

“It’s even better. Then I’ll be the best limb. It is a limb that can lead Wonhyo’s limbs and make them into a great force. Instead, give me strength! Please make it strong! I will do anything! for you! And for my survival ……

She cried out in a sincere voice with her eyes red and bloodshot. That’s how desperate she was. I don’t want to experience that fear again. I don’t want to be in a desperate situation. I want to be strong.

For her, meeting with Hyeon-bok was a unique opportunity. An opportunity that comes to everyone in life. I thought it was one of three opportunities to change my life.

“great. I like it. Create power or not, do whatever you want. By the way, you also have a talent for magic, so I’ll give you a chance to develop your power. I am very fond of mine.”

She, Mi-Jin Kim, seized the opportunity given to her.
