Disclair: This is an edited MTL. Thus, I cant guarantee that my editing to be proficient. But I hope you enjoy this story with . If there are any corrections, it is highly encourage to leave a comnt.
I dont know if I should just wait here.
Yoo Ji-Ha is waiting for the others in front of the Witchs Cauldron hunter supplies store in Seouls district 7.
Co on, get in line!
If you dont keep order, your entry ti will increase!
There were already a lot of Hunters in front of the Hunter Supplies Store, but today it was particularly crowded.
The blue-pulsing dungeon gate was sitting right in front of the store.
Hunters enter the dungeon through this gate and receive quests to proceed.
The usual main content of the quest was to annihilate the monsters inside, survive, etc., but there were cases where there were no quests, like this dungeon.
Hunters in winter clothes murmured as they passed.
There have been a lot of cases where there are no quests at all in places like Polar or Desert dungeons. The ti limit is either very generous or nonexistent.
Ah, so survival itself is the goal then?
Well, I dont know about that What is certain is that no one has cleared the Polar Dungeon. Since there is no goal in the first place, no one knows what to do to clear it.
The new Hunter looked around the gate and murmured.
Arent there a lot of people here? I think theyre newcors like .
The rankers are resting. Its cold and theres nothing inside, so what are they supposed to co here for? At the very least, newbies who wonder what a Polar dungeon is like are the ones who co.
Well, I guess so.
Ji-Ha has experience entering the dungeon, so he has a rough idea of what a Polar dungeon is like.
But hearing the stories of the Hunters at the scene made him wonder why they ca here.
Does SeongHo Hyung really think this dungeon will be helpful to him?
Its a favor from my brother.
He thought it wouldnt hurt to have so experience.
Viewing the situation in a positive light was one of his strengths.
After waiting for a while, SeongHo and Jumi appeared wearing special winter clothes.
Damn, didnt you wait long?
No.
I think our Yoo Ji-Ha has been looking better quite a bit. Have you been eating anything good? Or are you dating?
Jumi ca over and smiled broadly and squeezed Yoo Ji-Has cheeks with her hands.
She awakened the Healer-class as SeongHos wife.
According to the people around her, she has a gentle personality and theyve never seen her get angry.
In particular, she treated Yoo Ji-Ha more warmly like a family.
Yoo Ji-Ha was grateful for the tis she visited and gave out a bag of side dishes every now and then.
I dont have a woman, Im kind of lucky these days.
Why lucky?
That is
Yoo Ji-Ha briefly explained about Category 0 dungeons.
Because HyeJin and CheolHeon know anyway.
SeongHo frowned slightly after hearing everything.
Its my first ti hearing about it. Why didnt you tell yesterday?
I was going to tell Hyung, but you suddenly left because you were busy.
What? When?
SeongHos hardened face lted like snow and beca a confused face.
When you brought information about Polar dungeons.
Hahaha, so thats what happened. Sorry, sorry. I had sothing to do then.
Hey, do you think Yoo Ji-Ha hides things from you?
SeongHo is embarrassed when Jumi slaps him on the forearm.
No, its not that youre keeping sothing from Uh, here cos SeonYoung. SeonYoung!
Just in ti, Hwang SeonYoung appeared through the crowd while reading a thick book. She looks like a thin scholarly girl with round glasses while carrying a large backpack, but she fell over.
Gosh.
Be careful.
My book.
To her, the book is more important than her falling.
SeonYoung is a serious type of book addict who also knows Ji-Ha, and she was always reading books.
Thanks to her, people used to guess that he had awakened to the rarest class.
Noona are you okay?
When Yoo Ji-Ha asked, she quickly picked up the book and spoke.
Yes, Im fine. But its been a while since I last saw you. Its been about a month?
We went to the wholesale center together before, dont you rember?
Huh? Did we? My mory is getting older.
What kind of mory is that at a very young age?
When Jumi, who surpassed 30, said sothing, SeonYoung stuck out her tongue.
Yoo Ji-Ha also explained to her the Category 0 dungeon,
A book, you didnt have a book?
After all that, this noona
Resources and materials ant nothing to her.
Only ancient books written in the dungeons official language were important.
Unfortunately, there were none.
I see Next ti you find one, you have to lend it to , okay?
Okay.
SeonYoung smiled and opened the book and asked about the interpretation of one part.
Even though she read so many books, her dungeon language interpretation was inferior to that of Yoo Ji-Ha.
He read a lot of books in that language, but if he didnt know sothing, he skipped it.
SeongHo sighed and grabbed the two of them by the shoulders.
You guys, read books at ho but focus on today. You ca to dive a Polar dungeon. I need to do a briefing.
The two put their books in and waited for SeongHo to speak like a good student.
***
Difficulty: Category 1
Type: Polar
Goal: None
Ti limit: none
Wow!
This is no joke!
As soon as they entered the gate, screams of joy started ringing out.
The four shivered from the frigid cold in the ice field, even the winter clothes they brought were of no use.
Its minus 55 degrees.
Drink one potion. Im going to freeze to death.
It was so cold that even his breath almost froze.
SeongHo turned the potion bottle back and forth as if he couldnt understand no matter how much he thought about it.
God. This is 32% Cold Resistance buff per bottle I dont think it makes sense.
I heard that Ji-ha tested it himself. And youll know when you drink it, right?
When Jumi gave him a complint, he was embarrassed.
SeonYoung tapped Yoo Ji-Has shoulder.
Yoo Ji-Ha, isnt this expensive? A 15% buff costs hundreds of thousands of won.
Yeah. If you sell this to Hunter Mania, will you get so money?
Its okay, just drink.
But
Jumi tried to say sothing, but Ji-Ha shook his head.
Anyway, the Cold Resistance potion is not very expensive because it is not used much. There are no resources in Polar dungeons.
Yoo Ji-Ha is right. Because the price of a potion varies greatly depending on the demand If there is no Polar Dungeon, the need for it will be quite low.
Besides, everyone who was outside at the gate was a newcor.
At least 1 million won can be profited, but they can understand Ji-Has response.
Everyone opened the cork, consud it, and checked their status window.
The three of them gaped their mouths wide.
Wow
So this is how it is. This is great, its aweso.
Our Ji-Ha made sothing really good.
His words were not false.
Cold Resistance was buffed by 32% in the Elental Resistance section of the status window.
Even though he was wearing winter clothes, the feeling that his whole body was going to freeze earlier was greatly alleviated, and he was able to sowhat endure it.
SeongHo shrugged his shoulders and stepped forward.
Co on, even if theres no ti limit, we cant stay here long, so lets go quickly.
The three diligently followed SeongHo.
The briefing said it was nothing but a barren ice field, but monsters still appeared frequently.
If you want to return to the gate, use a Compass.
The Compass is an artifact that is dropped in various dungeons, and it was an object that indicated the direction of the gate.
If it wasnt for this, there would have been quite a few people who couldnt get out of the dungeon.
Still though, theres really nothing here.
Everywhere they look, there is only ice, ice and more ice.
If he were to find the most desolate place in Antarctica, it would look like this.
The group set out to explore with Yoo Ji-Ha in the center.
But whats this?
Suddenly the temperature started to rise.
Jumi, who was walking with a thermoter, tilted her head repeatedly.
SeongHo, the temperature keeps rising Its minus 40 degrees right now.
Oh? There was no such thing in the briefing though? Thats strange.
However, the higher the temperature, the easier it is to endure.
32% of Cold Resistance buff was added to the winter clothing, so it felt like minus 20 degrees.
Yoo Ji-Ha looked around and found sothing.
What is that?
A golden light shone across the horizon.
As if nobody else had seen it, the group kept walking briskly, saying it was much better when the temperature rose.
He walked a little faster and grabbed SeongHos arm.
Hyung. Do you see that over there? Theres a golden shine.
Where?
Everyone stopped and looked in the direction Yoo Ji-Ha was pointing and saw it.
A golden shine Cant we go see?
Jumi urged, and SeongHo made the decision.
We should go. Its important to find anything here. Ji-Ha, well done. You have good eyes even when you wear glasses.
I was lucky.
SeonYoung, who was also wearing glasses, smiled and stroked Yoo Ji-Has head.
The group went on foot and trudged in search of the golden light.
The snowstorm, which had stopped for a while, ca again, but strangely, the light was still clearly visible.
Sothing was strange.
After the snowstorm stopped, what the group discovered was not a golden light, but a huge tree root.
Everyone was overwheld by the hugeness and visuals and forgot what to say.
Each tree root that has the thickness of a building was protruding through the ice.
Wow Its really big.
Books, books, books
SeonYoung was busy looking for a book, and Ji-Ha, who was silent for a while, was staring at the root of the tree.
woo woo woosh-
Cant anybody else hear this?
The air from the root of the tree continued to bother him.
It was as if he was being guided sowhere.
SeongHos loud voice intervened.
That wont attack us, right?
Stop talking nonsense. Do you know where this tree ca from?
Was just saying. Anyway, its very warm here. Hows the temperature?
Oh my goodness. The device says its 20 degrees.
Sothings a little weird. If the root of this tree was this close to the gate, then theres no way other Hunters could not find it.
When SeonYoung pointed this out, everyone nodded.
There was definitely sothing odd about this tree root.
Because the tree root is so big Sohow, I feel pity towards it rather than pressure. Do you think its dead?
If its a tree this big, I dont think it will die just like this The body must be sowhere else.
Is this supposed to be sothing like a god of another dinsion?
SeonYoung, who had read a lot of ancient books, made an absurd comnt and everyone laughed.
Hey, what kind of god
Yoo Ji-Ha left behind the discussion of the party and walked to the place where he heard the loud rumbling sound.
SeongHo called him, but he did not hear him.
Not long after walking, he noticed sothing green forming between the roots of the tree.
Sap Jelly: Theradrone Food. Symbolism Award
Theradrones eat this?
If so, have they been starving until now?
The starving Theradrones ca to Yoo Ji-Has mind.
They didnt look cute, but they were quite affectionate, even giving him a Hummingbell seed.
When he touched it with his hand, it was like jelly.
The Symbolism probably indicates how much the Theradrones like this.
Yoo Ji-Ha got down on one knee, took out a tool, and put it in plastic.
The others that followed him were confused.
What is that? Is it used for Alchemy?
I dont know yet, but I think the answer will co once I refine it.
At the very least, Im glad Ji-Ha got sothing here.
At that ti, insects gathered around Yoo Ji-Ha.
At first, everyone thought it was fireflies, but the shape was different.
When Jumi saw the brightly glowing insect, she was startled and hugged SeongHos arm.
Whoa.
While SeonYoung opened her mouth, insects began to fly around Yoo Ji-Ha.
It felt like a curtain of light.
Symbiote1
It ans living together and helping each other.
Could these insects have a symbiotic relationship with the tree roots?
For now, lets catch them.
He doesnt know what it is, but he thought it had sothing to do with the forest in his dreams, so he diligently collected the insects.
Then soone appeared from behind the root of the tree.
SeongHos body tensed and raised his wooden shield, while SeonYoung made a sound.
The person who appeared in front of the group was none other than Seo HyeJin.
But as soon as she appeared, the dungeon quest updated.
Difficulty: Category 3
Type: Polar
Objective: Kill the Frost Trolls in the Northwest Valley.
Ti limit: 2 hours
All of their expressions changed drastically.
Seo HyeJin, who just arrived, did not understand why they suddenly had such faces because her quest window did not change.
