“Hey, he’s here.”

“I knew he would know something.”

“Be quiet! We can just watch it on the broadcast!”

– Blatantly acting up. Lol

– Average viewer;

– They are broadcasting his location on the community again.

– They won’t be able to copy whatever Black Dragon does anyway.

– FR lol

Those waiting in the cave were already watching Black Dragon’s broadcast.

The viewers, having seen the same situation several times, were already used to it.

“As expected, attention is focused on you. What will you do?”

Avant-garde asked from a position that seemed to guard Han-bit.

It was a look as if he would even act as an escort.

“Let’s go in for now.”

Taking the lead, Han-bit headed to the cave entrance.

The two also followed while receiving the surrounding gazes.

‘The passage is ordinary.’

The cave’s size and depth were not too excessive.

The dirt and stones making up the interior were also familiar.

“It seems that is the end.”

Walking in for a moment.

Before long, a blocked wall could be seen in the distance.

That place was full of people too.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

Han-bit pushed through the crowd blocking the way and advanced forward.

And he examined the symbol on the wall that had been written in the board comments.

‘What is this?’

Something crossing vertically through a white crescent moon symbol.

Looking at the shape, it also looked like a sword.

“Do you know what it is?”

“Well.”

Even at Kim Jae-ha’s question, no memories came to mind.

He wasn’t the type to not remember seeing such a symbol.

“Should we look around for NPCs near the mountain? New people might be hiding.”

Avant-garde quickly proposed the next plan.

However, if a new NPC had appeared, there’s no way this many people wouldn’t have found them.

“No, let’s try this first.”

Han-bit, who distanced himself a bit from the crowd, went to a corner.

Then he took out the compass from his inventory again.

Flash!

The pure white light stretching out from the compass’s circular glass.

It flew exactly to the symbol on the cave wall.

“Uh?”

“Black Dragon did it!”

“Stick to it quickly!”

The crowd inside the cave reacted to the single streak of light.

Not even knowing what it was, the people just struggled as if competing.

However, the wall was still blocked.

“What is this? We can’t go in!”

“There must be more to it!”

“Ah, I told you to wait!”

– Look at them throwing a fit. Lol

– Look at those disgusting movements.

– Shouldn’t he do this off-stream?

– Like during the PK, it would be acceptable even if he turns off the screen.

– Thieving bastards shouldn’t get to see anything good.

The viewers started getting angry at the behavior of the other people.

Quietly watching that, Han-bit took a step towards them.

“Let’s go that way.”

“Uh? Isn’t it blocked?”

“You must have realized something!”

He, along with the two, headed to the cave wall.

The others, looking at Han-bit while murmuring, stealthily cleared the path sideways.

It was an atmosphere urging him to quickly find the answer.

‘I wonder what’s there.’

There are no lies in the path suggested by the Compass that Dreams.

If they advanced like this, they would definitely be able to enter.

The problem was that the situation waiting to unfold inside was completely unknown.

“Mr. Ranger is here too?”

Looking around, Han-bit discovered a familiar face.

Now, it was beyond familiar to the point of feeling a hateful attachment.

– Basically a sasaeng fan;

– He must have been fucking angry after becoming fish food. Lol

– Knew he’d come straight to PK.

– Still, you can’t hold back at a private area.

– Yes, you can’t enter, right?

“…….”

Ranger’s face with a furrowed brow.

As the viewers said, it wouldn’t be strange even if he drew a bowstring right now.

However, Ranger asked in a calm voice.

“What are you planning to do this time?”

“It’s obvious. I’m going into the private area.”

Giving an obvious answer, Han-bit looked around.

It was because he was guarded against situations like Nesto’s ambush.

“I thought you’d request a PK guild again, but you just let it go this time?”

“…Let me make it clear here, it wasn’t me who made a request to the Nesto guild. I don’t do such things.”

– Say what?

– Yeah, right.

– Vanguard’s strongest no-conscience.

– I don’t do such things, but I will monopolize it.

– Gotta act smug with walkthroughs too.

Ranger’s excuse didn’t work.

Perhaps because the reasonable doubt was too strong.

Of course, to Han-bit, it didn’t matter either way.

“Explain yourself on your own time. If you’re curious about what this is, find a way yourself.”

“The private area isn’t info for a mere player to monopolize. Are you thinking of shaking up RP again?”

“I don’t think that’s something a vanguard should say?”

“…….”

Bringing up the vanguard, Ranger’s mouth closed.

He was someone who always had his true intentions clearly showing on his face.

Perhaps it should be said he was rather transparent.

“Those words must cut deep.”

At that time, someone revealed themselves from within the crowd.

It was a man wearing a bandana on his head.

He was carrying a long blue spear on his shoulder.

“Liwei?”

“Is it really Liwei?”

“Another vanguard has come?”

A name heard amidst the murmuring voices.

It seemed another vanguard had arrived.

It was natural for them to take an interest in the private area.

“Who is he?”

“It’s Liwei, a vanguard belonging to China’s Qingluo.”

– Meeting plaza;

– Info) Liwei is a mid-tier vanguard. He fucking loves competing.

– Info2) In reality, he’s a heavenly tier handsome guy.

– FR he could slap a celebrity’s cheek 100 times over.

– But he’s seriously a duel fiend. Lol

– Did he come here to spar too;

– Anything up to WWE is possible.

No particularly negative aura was felt from the man with a refreshing face.

Looking at the wall for a moment, Liwei turned his gaze.

“Can no one enter other than your party?”

“Well. Since other people can’t enter, the probability would be high.”

“Hmm, then it’s a wasted trip for me.”

Yielding and nodding his head, Liwei rubbed the handle of his spear.

Then he casually threw a question.

“Thoughts on having a one-on-one duel?”

“None.”

“Is that so?”

At the firm rejection, he nodded his head again.

To begin with, fighting against a vanguard in a one-on-one duel now would clearly end in a loss.

Even Ranger, whom he had clashed with multiple times, he had almost no chance against in a frontal clash.

If he attacked first, he would have no choice but to fight, though.

“Alright. I hope there will be an opportunity to face off next time.”

With the spear resting on his shoulder, Liwei shifted his steps out of the cave like that.

He kept an eye on him until the end, but he didn’t even turn his head until he disappeared from sight.

– Refreshing;

– Extremely favorable.

– He’s different from someone clinging on, right?

– When he fights, if his eyes roll back you’re fucked. Lol

– Continue refusing duels go go

At the figure different from Ranger, the viewers also typed on the chat leniently.

They were curious about his eyes rolling back, but didn’t necessarily want to see it.

“Anyway, you all should move yourselves and look around a bit too. Just watching won’t achieve anything.”

The gazes of the players watching this place were still hot.

Shrugging his shoulders, Han-bit grabbed Kim Jae-ha and Avant-garde’s arms.

And.

“I’ll go first.”

He jumped towards the light on the wall.

***

“Uh?”

“Oh…!”

Passing through the light took but an instant.

Involuntarily arriving in a new space, Kim Jae-ha and Avant-garde blankly looked around.

“Black Dragon-nim?”

“What’s wrong with you?”

The two who had been looking around turned their gazes to the silent Han-bit.

But his expression was close to a state of shock.

“Ha…”

Letting out a short sigh, Han-bit faced the ruins spread out in front of him.

A towering high glass building and an old slanted clock tower opposite it.

The surroundings were packed with broken concrete buildings, ancient temples, carriages, and cars.

The remnants of magic tools, guns, and turrets scattered on the stone wall on the outskirts were too many to look at one by one.

‘So it’s coming out like this.’

Han-bit absentmindedly looked up at the pure white moon floating in the purple sky.

To him, this place was an absolutely unforgettable location.

The death he faced every time in his 55 Regression, Possession, Reincarnation.

Every time, he was summoned to this place and wandered the streets.

Bringing him here meant there must be a clear intention on her part.

“Are you okay?”

“…Ah, yes. Because it’s a bit unfamiliar.”

At Kim Jae-ha’s question heard once again, Han-bit nodded his head.

“Uh? The broadcast turned off too. Here… it truly seems to be a private area!”

Avant-garde’s voice ringing in his ears.

When the broadcast screen was brought up, a message had floated up.

[Streaming is not possible in an unliberated private area.]

– ?

– What is this?

– Don’t abandon us.

– Save me.

– Was it right that it’s a private area?

– Let us watch.

– Admins come out.

– Seriously sending a truck to the headquarters.

The resentment of the viewers who suddenly couldn’t watch the broadcast was flaming up.

It’s an unfortunate turn of events, but they probably couldn’t overcome the master who created this situation.

[Pinned Message]

[I will liberate it quickly and show you. Please wait for a moment.]

– Father Ryong is finally realizing it.

– I’m trusting you…

– Let’s put up a challenge mission.

– I agree.

[Sword God Registered a 1,000,000 won Challenge Mission.]

[Succeed if private area is liberated.]

[Prayer Meta Sponsored 50,000 won to the Challenge Mission.]

[Please.]

[Great Spirit Sponsored 100,000 won to the Challenge Mission.]

[I only trust in the spirits.]

[Taeheun Corporation Sponsored 1,000,000 won to the Challenge Mission.]

[This is Taeeun. We will be cheering for you!]

…….

The baptism of sponsorships that started suddenly didn’t cease for a long time.

Of course, aside from the challenge mission, he didn’t have the slightest intention of failing.

[Pinned Message]

[Thank you, everyone. I will definitely succeed.]

Leaving a message, Han-bit looked around over the area.

The ruins were strangely quiet.

Ding.

「Loafer」

「Hyung, please record it.」

Yeon-woo, who was watching the broadcast, urgently contacted him.

Sending a reply, Han-bit pushed the button and started recording.

“Huh? There’s something here?”

Kim Jae-ha, who was looking around a few steps ahead, said looking at the floor.

“What is it?”

Approaching closely, Han-bit lowered his gaze downward.

A white rectangular board with writing on it was stuck there.

‘True death?’

It was an unfamiliar expression he hadn’t heard before.

Ding.

The alarm sounding at the same time.

One sentence was visible in the message that surfaced.

[Death penalty is not granted in the current map.]

“There’s no penalty?”

“This kind of thing is a first too.”

The two also showed reactions as if they had confirmed the message.

If there’s no death penalty, the reason to worry about death itself simply disappears.

The problem is why such an environment was made in the first place.

“Let’s look for the liberation condition first. If we scatter and look around…”

Rumble-!

At that time, a noise suddenly came from afar.

The gazes of the three turned to the center of the ruins.

Thud-!

Rumble-!

The continuous noise was being generated from the heaving ground.

It was intense enough to move the glass buildings and the clock tower.

“What’s moving? Is it collapsing?”

“Could it perhaps be a monster we haven’t seen before?”

Kim Jae-ha and Avant-garde threw out possibilities one by one.

Even during that, the noise gradually grew more intense.

And the moment the vibration briefly stopped.

Crashhh-!

Cleaving the ground open, a massive stone golem revealed itself.
