SSS-Grade Cafe in Front of The Dungeon — Chapter 19
He was equipped with equipnt that looked expensive, but in a word … he looked like a peacock.
After him, there were four hunters in relatively modest outfits. It was a rather unusual party composition.
“If you’re going to keep dragging your feet, we’ll go first.”
Even though we didn’t answer, the peacock squeezed in. The public official pushed him away, denied his interruption, but he was stubborn.
Eh, let’s just avoid him.
The public official seed in trouble, so I just told him to send the peacock first. The official bowed to and checked the papers with a tired look.
“Yes, I will check the entry of the Supre Party.”
A familiar word ca into my ears.
An old-fashioned na that might have been used about 10 years ago. I think I’ve heard such stupid words lately. Where was it….
“Huahahaha! I don’t need explanations like that. Just trust this supre leader, we’ll clear the tutorial in no ti. Newbies, let’s go quickly.”
That’s right, the person nicknad ‘Ji-jon‘!
He is the owner of that bus recruitnt post on the Hunter Channel. A vicious hunter who demanded 100 rubies from an F-class.
“Wow, bad luck….”
I said while watching Jijon and his party disappearing beyond the dungeon gate.
“To be campaigning like that when you’re a C-class, your head would hit the ceiling when you’re an S-class hunter.”
However, Ki Yoohyun shook his head with an ambiguous expression.
“Um … I don’t think so. It’s a matter of personal character. S-class is not necessarily arrogant….”
It’s weird. There are less than 10 S-class hunters in Korea, so why is this man desperately making excuses?
Anyway, it’s our turn again.
The dungeon entry process was very simple. Ki Yoohyun and I stood on the disc, and the official operated the gate.
A blue light covered , and when I opened my eyes, I was in a field.
Tiling!
[Welco to the great dungeon Abyss
A tutorial is currently in progress.
I wish all the best for beginners.]
[Cthugha rejoices over your visit.]
Uh, what was that just now?
But before I could properly check it, the notification disappeared.
I took my eyes off the system notification and looked around slowly.
The first thing that caught my eye was the sky dyed red in the sunset. A gentle breeze swayed through the sparsely growing reeds and shrubs. The remnants of a half-collapsed building could be seen in the distance, but it had an unusual style as if it were sowhere in a foreign country.
Rather than inside the dungeon, it seems that we are in a certain historical site.
“This is inside the Abyss?”
The sky, the wind, and the sunlight felt real. Only the slightly damp air felt a little odd.
However, unlike , Ki Yoohyun didn’t look surprised at all. It even seed like he was familiar to the place as he leisurely looked around and asured the direction.
“The Abyss is not a real tower, but a place where the space overlaps. It’s not just a single building, but rather it can be said that each of these different spaces are connected. On the other floors, there area the sea and snowy fields.”
“Wow … have you been there?”
“No. That … I heard about it. From soone who has been there.”
Ki Yoohyun was embarrassed and corrected it. He knew it in detail, so I thought he’d been there before.
“I don’t see anyone else.”
“Each party would have fallen to a different place. The starting point and the goal point are different for each person, so you won’t have to run into each other. Co on, let’s go.”
Ki Yoohyun began to walk in one direction. I asked, hurriedly following him.
“Uh, do you know the way?”
“It’s … It’s just a feeling.”
Indeed, there is no map or anything, so we have no choice but to go sowhere.
By the way, it was an unbelievable scenery in the dungeon. The reeds and trees all look real. There was no ti to feel bored as I looked around with a curious mind.
After walking in the field for about ten minutes, a green lump that looked like a jelly appeared in front of . At the sa ti, the system alarm rang.
[Green Sli (F) for Beginners has appeared.]
Sli is different from the cave black bear that attacked the store recently. It had no sharp teeth or claws, and its translucent and smooth body trembled softly.
In short, it looks cute.
“Kyuuu….”
Even the sound of sli is cute. It was the mont when I subconsciously took a step closer to take a closer look,
The sli’s round body spread like a mbrane in an instant and tried to attack .
“Uwah!”
I stepped back in surprise, and there was a flash of light. When I opened my eyes, the sli had lted away.
“Huh?”
What was it just now? He didn’t cast spells for magic skills, and he didn’t even show hand gestures for offensive skills.
[Party mber: Ki Yoohyun has defeated the Green Sli for Beginners (F).]
[You have gained 10 EXP.]
Only the notification window that appeared in front of with a ring sound, inford that Ki Yoohyun had just killed it.
“Rieul-ssi, are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m okay … Did Yoohyun-ssi kill it?”
I asked Ki Yoohyun with a suspicious look.
I had thought about it a while ago, but after entering the dungeon, my suspicions grew stronger.
This person … is he strong?
With a relaxed attitude, he was lting the sli in an instant.
It was a suspicious situation, but Ki Yoohyun answered with a shy expression, saying that he was also surprised.
“Hahaha … because it is for beginners, the difficulty must have been set to easy.”
Does he not know that he’s strong yet? A breathless power that I’ve only heard of? Or is this actually a haha bus?
Did I enter the world of “I am too strong as a rookie hunter” without realizing it? Was he actually a possessed person?
Either way….
‘I have to stay close to him.’
If Ki Yoohyun becos famous in the future, I’ll post sothing like, “I cleared the the tutorial dungeon with Ki Yoohyun“. I will put a sign on the store saying “It’s the coffee that Ki Yoohyun drank” and sell coffee for hundreds of thousands of won.
‘Hehehe.’
“Rieul-ssi.”
Ki Yoohyun spoke to , who fell into a snobbish thought for a mont.
“Ah, yes, yes?!”
“Be careful. Sli is not such a dangerous monster, but … it’s better not to touch it.”
“Do they have any poison?”
“Your skin swells and itches when you touch it.”
“Ugh….”
That’s a big deal. I have to be careful.
Colorful sli contiued to appear along the way. Ki Yoohyun easily killed various slis such as green, blue, and yellow slis. The lted sli was absorbed into the ground and disappeared.
Because of that, the system notifications were popping up one after another in front of my eyes.
[You have gained 10 EXP.]
[You have gained 10 EXP.]
[You have gained 10 EXP.]
…………………………………
I’m in the state of doing nothing, but still gaining the experience points.
This is a bit … isn’t this such a good benefit?
At this rate, I think I can level up without lifting a hand. Is this enough to just enter the dungeon?
As I walked while my partner was lting the sli, I ca across a fork covered with bushes. Then, I heard the sound of running water nearby.
Heugh, I was distracted by the free experience and almost forgot my original purpose.
“Yoohyun-ssi, please wait….”
The mont I was going to reveal my original purpose for entering the dungeon….
“Wuahahaha! The Supre swordsmanship!”
The peacock that appeared from the other side … no, Jijon swung the sword in his hand.
Behind him, there were still four beginners with tired faces.
Jijon swept away the slis around him and shouted in a loud voice.
“If you get caught in this supre swordsmanship, you’ll get one shot! WUAHAHA.”
Oh my gosh, the skill na is also bad….
And why are you screaming when you use your skill?
I glanced at Ki Yoohyun.
“You said we won’t run into the others.”
“We’re out of luck.”
“This is the hunting ground of the supre leader! The little ones are just getting in the way, so get them out quickly.”
I had a foreboding that it would be annoying to run into that guy among many hunters. I was about to ignore it and slowly move forward, but … sothing happened.
Kuuuung, Kuuuung.
My body trembled at the suddent vibrations of the ground. What, did an earthquake happen?
Ki Yoohyun also looked surprised at this unexpected situation.
Soon, a system notification window appeared in front of .
[Warning!
Tutorial dungeon is a special dungeon designed to help beginners grow.
Please use the dungeon with a difficulty level that suits you.]
[The difficulty of the tutorial dungeon changes due to the appearance of a strong player.
Tutorial Dungeon―Special Hard mode starts.
Defeat stronger monsters and get more experience.]
What the hell does this an?
As I read the notification window in disbelief, I heard laughter next to .
“O’my my … wuahahaha!”
It was Jijon.
“I’m sorry about this. I was just trying to help you beginners … but it looks like I’m too strong to co in here. The difficulty of the dungeon went up because of , I’m sorry.”
I don’t think so.
I don’t know exactly what the situation is, but I have a strong feeling that it wasn’t him.
At that mont, the sun in the western sky disappeared and darkness descended as if ti was fast-forwarding.
And as the red moon in the middle of the sky emitted an ominous light, it was obvious that an unusual change had occurred.
Thump, Thump, Thump-.
The mont when the regular pounding of the ground stopped….
[Dungeon difficulty increased. A Giant Sli for Experts (???) has appeared.]
The giant sli ca toward us, bouncing its whole body.
The body, which appeared from the bushes, seed to be over 5 ters tall. The body glowed fluorescent green in the dark. I think it’ll be real bad my your skin if I touch it.
Jijon stepped forward to bite back at the bizarre sight.
“Huahaha! Don’t worry. Even if it’s a giant, it’s still a sli. This supre leader will be able to get rid of it.”
Oh, he was pretty cool now.
“Hiyaaah …. Supre Swordsmanship!”
Jijon swung the sword in his hand.
However, the giant sli bounced the sword lightly. The wind blew the sword out of his hand.
Still, Jijon did not give in.
“Eugh … It’s pretty solid. But I still have this skill. Ultimate … The Supre Iron Fang!”
The mont he shouted “Hiyaaah” a trendous amount of power was condensed into the his fist. Jijon jumped sharply and swung his fist towards the giant sli.
Tung-.
However, Jijon’s fist could not penetrate the smooth body of the giant sli.
Jijon’s body, which bounced off with a bang, rolled on the floor.
“….Ugh.”
Jijon, who got up with a moan, glared at the giant sli with a determined expression.
Then, he ran away.
“Huh?”
It was so fast. I soon couldn’t see his back.
“Leader … wait, let’s go together!”
When Jijon, the leader of the party, ran away, a group of bewildered beginners followed him.
In an instant, only Ki Yoohyun, the giant sli, and I were left here.
The giant sli bounced off its body with a flash of light.
…. it seems to say that it’s our turn next.
Translator’s Corner:
I think I forgot to ntion it before, Jijon (지존) ans supre / the best. It is out-dated expression. It cos from Chinese character (至尊) and was used as an honorific title for a king in the past. Well, you probably still see it being used in martial arts novel. That’s why the MC thought his skill na is ridiculous.
… and guys, please stop jinxing the MC in the comnts T__T
