The Game of the Grea Chapter 304

Chapter 304

Seonghyun, who thought there were no other users, was a little flustered.

Barbaros was the sa.

Afterward, Seonghyun and Barbaros looked at each other, tilting their heads as if sothing was on the tip of their tongues.

At that mont, they both rembered.

"Pentagrid?"

"Kicked out of the library?"

As they recognized each other properly.

A look of welco sohow filled Barbaros's face.

To think he would et a user he recognized in a place like this.

Besides, he thought they had t at a library last ti as well.

He was smiling as if to say that anyone who likes books is always welco.

Seonghyun wasn't as openly pleased as Barbaros, who showed his delight.

But he looked at him with a bit of curiosity.

He looked at the young man with brown hair and glasses, who seed a bit clumsy and hadn't quite shed his youthful appearance, and who was about the sa age as himself, with a sense of wonder.

'To think he's at a similar level to .'

It was a bit surprising.

Seonghyun's leveling speed was incredibly fast, but this person had sohow kept up.

'Is he incredibly skilled?'

But it seed like he only ever read books.

It was also strange that his level had gone up.

He thought that perhaps it could be a profession related to books.

Since he loved books so much.

Because that was also a possibility.

Seonghyun thought so and spoke.

"Fancy seeing you here again. Your nickna was...... Barbaros-nim, right?"

"Oh!? Yes, yes, that's right."

"Aha, my na is Seonghyun. It's nice to see you again here."

Barbaros nodded at Seonghyun's greeting.

"Hehe, I know, right? Are you here to see so books?"

"Yes, yes, there's a book I'm looking for."

"Oh?"

Barbaros reacted imdiately to the words that he was looking for a book.

Could Barbaros possibly know where the book was?

As he was thinking that.

Sure enough, Barbaros spoke.

"If you know the title or contents of the book, please tell . I'll find it for you. I don't know all the books here, so I might not be able to find it, but I have a rough idea of their locations!"

At Barbaros's energetic words.

Seonghyun felt a sense of trust for so reason.

With a slight smile, Seonghyun, thinking just in case.

"Do you happen to know a book called, 'The Village Boy's Resourcefulness'?"

"Huh?"

He said it, just in case.

Barbaros reacted imdiately.

Could it be a book he knew?

No way.

As he watched, thinking.

Barbaros thought for a mont before scurrying off.

He scanned a bookshelf and shouted.

"Found it!"

"??????"

That quickly?

Was it a book he already knew about?

As Seonghyun went to where Barbaros had shouted with a bewildered expression.

It was really there.

『The Village Boy's Resourcefulness』

How did he find it so fast?

As Seonghyun looked at Barbaros with a curious expression.

Barbaros smiled shyly and answered.

"Actually, I rembered it because it had the most ordinary title in the Unique rank."

"Aha. I see."

"So I read it too."

"Oho?"

"Are you going in right now?"

Seonghyun was a bit unsure at those words.

He had so ti left, but not that much.

It seed that unfortunately, he would have to log out here for today.

"My ti is a bit tight today, so I think I'll go in tomorrow."

"Ah! I see, it's a lot of fun, so I hope you enjoy it! I have to go look for books to read, so......."

As Barbaros said that and turned to leave.

Seonghyun thought Barbaros was peculiar and let out a small laugh.

He seed to be a person who genuinely loved books.

Although this place was more about experiencing things than just reading books.

If one loved stories themselves, he wondered if there could be a better place than this.

[Eternal World will be waiting for you.]

With that thought, Seonghyun logged out with the familiar farewell ssage.

4.

After logging out, Seonghyun stretched his stiff body and got out of the capsule.

Was it because he got out earlier than usual?

Still, his body didn't feel that stiff.

He did so light stretching and ca out.

Likewise, his older sister, Yoo Mina, was also stretching as she ca out of her capsule.

"You're out early today?"

"Huh? Ah, I don't have any quests these days, so I just hunt and log out. It's boring. You're out early too, Seonghyun? What have you been up to?"

"I'm in Septia. For a quest."

"Ah?"

When Seonghyun imdiately answered Yoo Mina's question.

She showed a strange reaction.

Then suddenly.

She nodded as if she understood.

"It is efficient, isn't it."

Septia's efficiency must be really good.

For Yoo Mina to say that.

As Seonghyun was about to let it go, thinking it was just like her.

His sister, Yoo Mina, asked back as if she was a little surprised.

"What kind of quest takes you to Septia? I've heard of solo players going there for experience points, but this is the first ti I've heard of soone going for a quest."

Well, she might be curious.

From what Seonghyun had seen, it seed to be mostly small parties rather than guilds.

He hadn't really seen anyone else clearing quests besides himself.

"It's a profession-exclusive quest. I ca to see the biography of the Necromancer Lord."

"Ahh."

Yoo Mina nodded as if she imdiately understood Seonghyun's answer.

Her reaction was that if it was sothing like that, she could certainly understand.

"Well, unless it's a case of being sent back to the past, Septia would be the definite choice. So, did you find anything?"

"Yeah, I went to the Unique rank. I think I finally found the first one."

"That's a relief."

As they were having such a casual conversation, she suddenly asked Seonghyun.

"By the way, you haven't received any calls or anything after that, have you?"

"Calls?"

"Hmm~ Is that so?"

"What's with that look?"

As his sister Yoo Mina's gaze was so creepy that he frowned.

Yoo Mina chuckled and replied.

"It's nothing~ If you haven't gotten a call yet, then never mind."

"......?"

Why is she acting like that?

It was a bit strange.

But was there ever a ti when his sister wasn't strange?

He just let it go.

Besides, who was she talking about?

Seonghyun thought about it.

For a mont.

'Is she talking about Luna-nim?'

They had exchanged numbers after last ti.

But was there any reason to call?

If it was about the ga, they could use the ssenger.

Thinking it was ridiculous, he shook his head and went out to the living room to help his mother, who was preparing a al.

Watching Seonghyun, Yoo Mina couldn't help but sigh.

"Eigh."

Was he just dense?

Or was he intentionally putting up a wall?

Yoo Mina shook her head as if she really couldn't tell.

Then, a person flashed through Yoo Mina's mind.

'Ssssup. No way, right?'

A foreign woman who proudly declared she would beco the best swordsman in Joseon ca to mind.

But Yoo Mina shook her head.

Honestly, it didn't make sense.

She wondered if he was surprisingly lucky with won.

Then, Yoo Mina rembered what she had heard during her fortune-telling session.

"......."

‘Should I find a benefactor?’

As her thoughts beca complicated, Yoo Mina scratched her head and went to help with dinner, just like Seonghyun.

Indeed, when your head is a ss, chores are the best.

5.

The next day.

After his usual morning routine.

After finishing breakfast and a shower, Seonghyun imdiately logged into Eternal World.

[Welco to Eternal World, another world, an eternal world.]

[May fortune be with Player 『Seonghyun』.]

The familiar ssage appeared.

Seonghyun imdiately dismissed the welco ssage.

And headed straight for the Unique rank library.

As he arrived, he could see Barbaros, who had arrived at the library earlier than him, as expected.

"Ah! Hello."

Barbaros greeted him cheerfully.

For a mont, Seonghyun thought as he looked at him.

'Was he waiting for ?'

No way.

Shaking his head at the thought.

Seonghyun also returned the greeting.

"Hello."

"You're going to challenge that book today, right?"

"Yes. I plan to start today. I have a quest."

"Ahh! Be careful."

Saying that, Barbaros sat down and began to read another book.

Was there a book here that wasn't a dungeon?

With that thought, Seonghyun headed to the bookshelf where the book Barbaros had found for him yesterday was placed.

And as he imdiately opened the book.

Seonghyun was instantly sucked into the book, and the book floated in the air, spread open.

Barbaros had been watching, pausing his reading.

Only after Seonghyun had disappeared did he open his mouth.

"Ugh, I need to ask him a favor...... I wonder if he'll listen......"

It was natural that Seonghyun couldn't hear Barbaros's words, spoken as if he was troubled.

In any case, Seonghyun, unaware of what Barbaros was doing, was sucked into the book and was grasping the mission of this book.

[『The Village Boy's Resourcefulness』 will now begin.]

As soon as Seonghyun saw that ssage, he realized he had entered the book.

What kind of story would it be?

Just as he was getting a little excited.

Seonghyun could see a boy in front of him, his eyes sparkling.

He looked like a pretty ordinary boy.

But he was a handso boy who looked like he would steal the tears of many won when he grew up.

Although he looked quite familiar, Seonghyun couldn't imdiately recall.

Because the boy spoke to him right away.

"Mister, you're a rcenary, right?"

"......?"

A boy suddenly speaks to him.

As Seonghyun looked at the boy, he tilted his head in confusion.

The boy exclaid, "Ah!" and spoke to him again.

"Hyung, you're a rcenary, right?"

"......Hmm."

A boy suddenly talking to him.

It seems this kid is the protagonist of the book.

To suddenly ask if he's a rcenary.

It seed that was the kind of story it was.

Seonghyun nodded at the boy's question.

"Yeah, it seems so."

"Huh? It seems so? Pfft, what's that?"

As Seonghyun glossed over it while looking at the boy who spoke with sharp insight.

The boy looked at Seonghyun a bit suspiciously.

But then, as if he instinctively knew he could be trusted.

Or perhaps the system gave him the belief that Seonghyun was a rcenary, he didn't know.

After being convinced.

The boy spoke to Seonghyun.

"Can I hire you, hyung?"

He spoke so brazenly and handed over a pouch that likely contained money.

At such a cute sight, Seonghyun smiled slightly and asked.

"The price changes depending on what the request is?"

A realistic statent.

An ordinary boy might be intimidated.

But he tried it, thinking this cheeky boy wouldn't be.

And then.

An answer that far exceeded Seonghyun's expectations ca back.

"If you see the money, you'll accept without even hearing the request, you know?"

"Hm?"

How much was it that he was so confident?

Out of curiosity, Seonghyun took the money pouch the boy offered and opened it.

Inside, there were 10 platinum coins, each symbolizing 1,000 gold.

"......?"

10,000 gold?

As Seonghyun scratched his cheek looking at it.

The boy spoke brazenly, as if he knew it.

"Right? You'll take the request, right?"

"......Alright, fine."

As Seonghyun answered, looking at the boy with a slightly dumbfounded expression.

The boy grinned as if he was excited.

And then, a ssage appeared before Seonghyun's eyes.

[The 『The Village Boy's Resourcefulness』 scenario will now begin.]

'Isn't this just throwing money around rather than resourcefulness?'

He had that thought, but.

Well, since it was starting anyway.

Seonghyun obediently followed the boy.

He got so money on the side, too.

What kind of scenario would unfold?

He followed, curious.

And how would this connect to the Necromancer Lord?
