"Phew."
After work, Hanbit returned ho and quickly took a shower.
He put on his gear and lay down on his bed.
-Woooong
With the sound of the machine, the scene in front of his eyes changed.
It was just a matter of ti before he saw Edlen again.
Beep-
At that mont, a number popped up from the mailbox.
"What?"
Hanbit was puzzled, as nothing specific ca to mind.
He moved his finger and opened the mailbox.
[Edlen - Challenge Dungeon Reward]
[30,537,500 Gold]
"...Ah."
He had almost forgotten about the challenge dungeon reward.
He had been so focused on the episode.
Apparently, no one new had managed to take the top spot.
'30 million gold, huh.'
It was a much larger amount than he had expected.
Everyone’s interest had been piqued, increasing the number of attempts, but in any case, having gold coming in every week would greatly expand his options.
He could just buy the small items from the exchange.
"Hyung!"
Yeonwoo, who had called ahead, appeared.
Glancing around at the other players, he said in a small voice, "The whole world is talking about you. How does it feel to be a superstar?"
"It feels more like I'm just getting a ton of hate."
Hanbit was also aware of the attention on him.
He didn't know exactly what it felt like, but he just hoped that more guilds like Nesto wouldn't co after him.
It was a pain to keep swatting away the sparks.
"But Mr. Kim Jaeha didn't co?"
"He must be busy."
He hadn't been able to et him during the weekend when the episode was going on.
He had called him today, but there was no reply. It was probably because of work.
"I'll start the stream."
Hanbit imdiately started streaming.
"Hello everyone."
"Hello!"
-Hi hi
-Dragon is here.
-Super star Dragon.
-Our Dragon.
-I ssed up by resetting the episode, explain yourself.
-That's on you...
-Rewatch it carefully~
-I think we need a strategy. Agree?
-Agree
-No. Don't provoke him.
-With your support, I'll destroy you with a 50-page strategy.
-Kyaaah
The number of viewers quickly reached 100,000. It seed that the episode reset had caused quite a stir.
"I'll think about the strategy. Oh, and I also received the reward for first place in the challenge."
[Edlen - Challenge Dungeon Reward] [30,537,500 Gold]
-??
-30 million?
-Crazy. lol
-Is that even possible?
-Seriously;
-Was that amount even possible?
-Kim Hanseob must be crying tears of envy.
[Calculator has donated 1,000 won.]
[The number of tis the challenge dungeon was entered is 61,075.]
-Crazy. lol
-Newbies are going crazy;
-???: I think I can do better.
-Miserably destroyed.
Countless players entered, dreaming of first place or to complete the quest. The reason Hanbit had revealed this amount was to give hope.
After all, the expectation that 'maybe I can do it too' is the scariest thing.
"The challenge dungeon strategy will be uploaded as an edited version to the Black Dragon channel. I recomnd that those who want to take the challenge check it out before they do,” Yeonwoo casually promoted, encouraging others to take on the challenge.
He had already checked the edited strategy on his way ho. The structure was so easy to understand that it was almost surprising.
"Well, I guess I should start getting ready to leave."
Hanbit headed to the general store he would visit last.
Artsvel was busy packing.
"Need a hand?"
"Huh?"
At the sound of his voice, she turned her head sharply.
A bright smile blossod on her face.
"What, haven’t you left yet? I thought you were going to Ifrit."
"I'll be going soon,” Hanbit replied and stared at Artsvel quietly.
"Why?" Artsvel asked curiously, eting his gaze.
The past lives that had repeated themselves in various forms ti and ti again.
Now that the problems in Edlen had been resolved and he had t Artsvel, he felt a particularly strong sense of nostalgia.
For Hanbit, it was difficult to simply accept it as a ga.
"Adventurer!"
Inside, Flona was gathering small loads with her small hands.
It seed like Artsvel was taking care of her in the chaotic atmosphere.
Hanbit gently patted her head and helped her pack while asking a question.
"How's your mother? Is she doing okay now?"
"She's so well that she's stirring up the workshop. Even though her daughter is this busy, she just keeps sewing."
"That's good."
Artsvel had an amused expression, but her voice was filled with joy.
It seed that her mother, a seamstress, was producing excellent results despite her age.
"And you two? Are you both going to the Norton Manor?"
"Flona will, but I have to keep running the general store. I'm just moving the store closer to the manor. Soone needs to keep an eye on Lia."
Artsvel wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled.
Although there was no chance of Lia running away, Artsvel's frequent visits would be a great comfort to her.
"But is the road to Ifrit okay? I heard bad rumors,” While moving a box, Artsvel asked worriedly.
"Rumors?"
"Monsters are said to be multiplying around the city of Ifrit. The city and the guild says it's fine, but..."
It was a rumor that had recently started circulating among rchants.
Especially for those in occupations that were sensitive to monster damage, even a small change had to be carefully monitored.
"The road will be fine. I'm going to earn so rits, so I'll have to investigate that as well."
"rits are important, but... anyway, be careful. It doesn't seem like a common situation."
As they had this conversation, they finished packing.
Standing in front of Artsvel, Hanbit bid his final farewell.
"Well, I'm going."
"Huh? Are you leaving already?"
Flona, who had put down a small box, ca up to him with quick steps. Her face was full of sorrow.
Seeing her expression, Artsvel asked a similar question, "When will you co back to Edlen? It will probably take a long ti, right?"
"No, I'll co back once I'm done with the Ifrit matter."
"Really?"
"Really?"
At those words, the sad expression faded from Artsvel and Flona's faces.
Hanbit turned towards the exit and said, "I'm really going now. See you later."
"Be careful."
"Thank you for saving ! Please co back soon!"
With those words, Hanbit left the store.
'There are so many of them.'
When he stepped back out onto the street, Hanbit was t with the gazes of countless players.
No one spoke to him, but their eyes seed to be waiting to see what he would do next.
Fortunately, it wasn't a PK atmosphere like Nesto's.
"Hyung, are you leaving right now?" Yeonwoo asked, watching the stream.
Hanbit checked the ti and thought for a mont.
"There are still too many special rewards left."
[A special reward will be given to the player who first reached the truth in Episode 1. After a
24-hour preparation period, rewards based on contributions will be given in the inventory.]
He had cleared the main quest at 1 AM.
Since it was now around 8 AM, he still had 5 hours left.
Looking around, Hanbit asked Yeonwoo in a small voice.
"Are the advanced players still in Edlen?"
"Advanced players? Just a mont."
Yeonwoo moved his hand and began searching for sothing.
After a mont, he nodded and said, "There's a large-scale raid today, so their location is a bit vague. But the Ranger..."
"What about ?"
Suddenly, a voice ca from behind.
Turning his head, the Ranger with a golden bow slung over his shoulder approached.
"You're still here? Aren't you busy?"
"It's all because of you!"
-ROFL
-That's hilarious lmao
-Why isn't he going to the raid?
-Probably because of the episode reset?
-Is he just being ostracized?
-Seriously lol
The viewers poured out questions, teasing the Ranger.
Crunch-
The Ranger seed to have been watching the stream and clenched his fist.
Before he could explode, Hanbit asked a question first.
"So what? You didn't co here to pick a fight."
"The reset of the Edlen episode. It even ca with the objective 'truth'. Did you know this would happen from the beginning?"
"I didn't know that. I just proceeded with the story I knew."
There was no lie in Hanbit's answer.
He didn't even know about the existence of a system like the reset, let alone the story.
The Ranger, who had been listening quietly, spoke again, "Do you know everything about the rest of the story too?"
"I know as much as I can."
"Hmm."
Silence fell briefly after the answer.
Closing his eyes for a mont, the Ranger said in a serious voice, "I'm going to give you a special opportunity."
"Opportunity?"
"I'll let you join Rashtan. Appreciate it."
"……?"
-?
-Huh?
-Did I hear that right?
-What nonsense. lol
-Are you crazy?
-Just get lost.
-Go away.
[NiceWordsKindWords has donated 1,000 won.]
[I just hate that person.]
-Seriously, I hate his face too.
-Old man GOAT
-Personality JOAT
-This isn't realistic. lol
The viewers rushed in with pitchforks at the sudden recruitnt announcent.
"I don't need to listen to the opinions of guys like you. The chairman of Rashtan has also approved this, so I'll send you the contract right away."
"Hmm."
It took Hanbit a while to understand the situation.
After a mont of thought, he asked slowly, "You're saying you'll take to Rashtan?"
"It's a decision. The terms aren't bad, so you can properly assist . I'll especially cover up your past."
The direction of the conversation, which had gone off track from the very beginning, didn't return to normal.
He could just refuse and leave, but sothing felt off.
There was sothing he could use this for...
'Ah.'
At that mont, sothing crossed his mind.
Quickly forming a plan, Hanbit looked at the Ranger.
"I've already decided. I'm going to Roper’s Company."
"You're going to refuse my offer?"
"Why would I go to Rashtan? From what I've heard, it doesn't seem that great."
"I'm an advanced player. How dare a re player say such things..."
-LOOOOOOL
-That's a fact.
-It's hilarious that he can't refute it. lol
-If you understand, just get lost.
-You have no sense.
Triggered, the Ranger clenched his fist.
Judging from the fact that he kept glancing at the screen, he seed to be taking damage from the chat as well.
"Anyway, I'm not going to Rashtan. Many people who are more amazing than you have offered recruitnt."
"……"
When he made the final conclusion, the Ranger glared at him, clenching his fist. He gritted his teeth and said, "You'll regret that decision deeply."
Whipping around, he strode away.
His retreating figure, as he left with his subordinates, exuded an air of malice.
"Hyung, are you sure this is okay?" Yeonwoo asked worriedly.
"It's fine,” Hanbit replied calmly and looked at the chat.
Then he announced his new plan.
"Before we go to the next city, I'm going to conquer one more dungeon."
