Boundless Necromancer - Chapter 42

042. Dungeon Attack (1)

Actually, it was a situation where I didn’t have to return to Earth.

The Tower of Trials still gives a lot of rewards, and now the time to wait to challenge the trials is gone.

Obviously, if you challenge the trials on the 8th floor, you will benefit quite a bit.

however.

‘If it’s the level of the 7th floor ordeal, I might not be able to break through.’

That was the problem.

If the difficulty was at the level of the 7th floor ordeal, you might not be able to break through the 8th floor.

To make matters worse, in such a situation, someone like a challenger from another world might invade again.

In many ways, it was a difficult situation to just challenge.

At least you have to grow a little more and definitely adapt to the strength you have now acquired.

To do so, the dungeon, not the tower of trials, is suitable for further growth, so it is only going back.

Also, I wasn’t the only one who thought that way.

– Frog: Wow, I thought I was falling behind in the ordeal on the 7th floor.

-Hunter’s standard: ㅇㅇ That would be nice. Items can be transported from outside, so that’s efficient.

-Face Goblin: The hunter market is over now haha I have to pour it all into the lowest-level item market.

-Frog: Thanks to the items obtained from the tower, I think I will try to make some money.

-Heomsumjjin: Armed with tempal, I have to break the 8th floor ordeal. I think I need to climb the top until I get my original specs back. This is the best way to become strong even if you are uncomfortable.

-Search Captain: I got all the specs back, but I’m just trying to climb the tower. It would be easier to earn money and become stronger by climbing the tower here rather than going to dungeons every day.

-Hunter’s Jeongseok: But in case you don’t know, I’m going to go up by doing temp farming in real life.

Those who want to climb the tower of trials are trying to prepare to some extent in reality.

Everyone was unanimous in saying that it would be better to clear the 8th floor ordeal by improving the items.

Maybe it’s because people’s thoughts are all there.

‘Anyway, they say they’re going to climb the tower quite a bit.’

To regain the original specs or because it was considered a better way to make money.

There were many people who climbed the tower on their own volition, although they had different reasons for climbing it.

“…I thought I was abnormal, but I wasn’t.”

As there were people who said that they would go up only with the pure desire to become stronger, I felt that more clearly.

Everyone who has adapted to the Tower of Trials sees it as an opportunity to change their lives.

‘I’m not of the same type.’

Climbing the tower is because you want to become stronger.

Well, I don’t mean to just fight.

It was then.

-Dodakbung: But it seems that the outside is in an uproar because of the Tower of Trials.

‘oh.’

The topic changed to reality to see if anyone knew about the outside world.

It was an interesting topic, so I shook off my thoughts and immediately started to focus on the conversation.

-Hunter’s Standard: Because of the Tower of Trials, the government and the Hunter Association were shocked. It’s the first time I’ve ever been to a dungeon that even ordinary people are dragged into.

-Baekbalbaekjung: Wow, have you already returned? Why so detail cancer?

-Hunter’s rule: I was able to overcome the 7th floor ordeal a little faster, so I returned for one day and only sneakily grasped the situation.

-Dodakbung: Wow, I’m envious. But did the association and the government make any policy?

-Hunter’s standard: lol What can they do? The hunters are also being dragged along. It’s the end of just giving the basic instructions and saying that I’ll try to find out the cause as much as possible.

-Prepared porter: The government was unable to do anything from the beginning, and the association was similar. They said that if you choose the easy difficulty, you can easily come back.

-Hunter’s Standard: Rumor has it that most of the easy difficulty levels have already broken through the 15th floor, but even the normal difficulty challengers have passed the 10th floor.

-Dodakbung: Crazy everyone sucks honey. I was about to get lost here.

It’s been a long time since I got useful information.

‘Suddenly, the Tower of Trials became known to the outside world.’

It was surprising that the general public began to recognize that.

Of course, the government seems to have been unable to come up with a countermeasure against this phenomenon.

‘That must be natural.’

There was no way humans could prepare for a cataclysm-like phenomenon.

-Hunter’s Stone: The price of the lowest grade item in the Hunter Market has begun to be adjusted, so be careful.

-Used Merchant: Haha As the challengers poured in from Easy and Normal, the price of the items went down.

-Dodakbung: What else is that… I’m going crazy for real.

– Frog: Eh, so F-level items aren’t worth much money…?

-Used Merchant: ㅇㅇ E-class items will be adjusted soon, so only D-class items will be safe.

-I’m the manager’s son: There are a lot of guys who want to register as hunters, so you’ll have to wait at least a month to become a hunter, and you’ll have to fill out whether or not you’re from the Tower of Trials.

As expected the other day, the outside market seems to have changed.

“It’s fortunate that I preoccupied them all beforehand.”

Hunter registration and item sales were all handled by me in the past.

There was no need to register as a hunter after waiting for a month, and there was no need to despair because the prices of low-level items were adjusted.

‘It’s worthwhile to go back using the return stone.’

If I had been a little slower in my judgment, things would have been pretty bad.

I would have had to face a lot of annoying things.

However, thanks to preparation, I can put such personal things aside for now.

“For now, we just need to focus on growth.”

For the time being, I decided to turn my attention away from this and that topic.

“Challenger Han Seong-yoon has confirmed his intention

to return.

”

***

「Returned to the residence of challenger Han Seong-yoon.」

Looking at the message I had seen before, I got up from the bed.

Perhaps because it was the second time, it was easier to adapt this time than before.

“Well, I was able to bring it this time as well.”

This time, the items he was holding around the bed were also falling.

Sword of Thunder, Shield of the Sneaky Hunter, Cloak of the Assassin, Boots of Swiftness, Wrought Iron Pendant, and more.

All items originally worn were successfully brought back.

‘Well, I don’t think I’ll be able to sell many items this time.’

Since they are still useful items, I had no intention of selling them right away.

“Whoa…”

I thought of what to do first as I breathed in the stuffy air of the studio.

Since I brought the stone of cleanliness, I don’t have to

take a shower.

This return, unlike the previous ones, was purely for growth.

‘I can’t use it carelessly.’

I had to move as efficiently as possible.

To become stronger, you have to go in and out of dungeons, but dungeons are difficult to enter.

There must be a party, and if you have just become a Hunter, your party members must join.

It is a rule of the hunter industry that only a party of at least two people can initiate the first dungeon raid.

It was a measure that came about because there were not a few novice hunters who suffered panic in real battles.

‘The problem is that the concept of saving this party isn’t easy…’

The distribution of mana stones and rewards was also a problem, and the party was rough in many ways.

The reality is that if even a bad hunter gets caught, murder can happen.

As such, beginner hunters were usually on the side of building connections in various ways for their first attack.

Whether it’s through a guild or through another place to recruit party members.

But it was safe to say that I had no such connections.

“shit.”

For incompetent players, networking was a luxury, so the current situation was difficult.

Also, even if you solve this party member’s problem, it is difficult to arrange dungeons.

There are dungeons managed by specific guilds and public dungeons managed by associations, but there

were parts that could be called a problem.

Dungeons that only some people use are relatively easy to use.

Since it was only used by those who belonged to a guild, you could use the dungeon right away if you applied.

However, public dungeons provided by organizations such as the Association are different.

Public dungeons require a long wait to use, and most of them have poor growth efficiency.

That’s because most dungeons with good quality belong somewhere.

“It’s completely overcrowded.”

Sighing, I went out to the veranda of the studio and opened the window.

The scenery was not very nice, but the stuffy air seemed to go away, so I felt a little more at ease.

“What should I do with this…”

They say that they have to live without it, but everything they need is lacking.

Now, you can’t go into guilds and organizations and build personal connections.

‘…No, it’s not like I don’t have any connections at all.’

Although it was a bit of an odd relationship, to be honest, I had connections.

It was the one and only network he had gained at the Tower of Trials.

―If you return to Earth later, please find Lee Ha-yeon of the Baekeun Guild.

There was a person like that among the team members I met on the 4th floor ordeal.

I added friends to the community, so those words were still clearly etched in my memory.

Of course, after that, it was difficult to talk, so I couldn’t talk properly.

They tried to contact me a few times, but I was too busy each time to respond properly.

However, in the process, Lee Ha-yeon left a phone number to ask for a call later.

I remembered it because it was given to me to contact me if I escaped from the tower.

His skills were quite good, so he might have returned to Earth by now.

‘He helped me in the 4th floor ordeal, so I wonder if it’s okay to contact him.’

Originally, I wouldn’t have contacted you, but I was more desperate for networking than I thought.

It was the moment when I had no choice but to take out my smartphone and contact him.

Wheein…!

「Emergency Disaster Message」

「Currently, an undetected D-class gate has occurred in Jikdong Neighborhood Park in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi-do.」

「The number of gates that have occurred is three, all of which are dungeons that require permanent management.」

「Citizens, Please pay attention to entry restrictions and safety accidents.”

“…No, wait a minute.”

I opened my eyes when I saw the message that came up with the vibration of my smartphone.

Just now, I was just trying to find a party through my personal connections and then enter the common dungeon… but

‘if a gate occurred nearby, the story would be different.’

For hunters, the occurrence of an unexpected gate is like a hot time.

Undetected gates are dealt with by hunters in the vicinity, not by any group.

If this was an unhelpful disaster, the hunters would have been impressed.

‘The occurrence of an unexpected gate is a dripping phenomenon.’

A situation where you can immediately use a dungeon that would originally be completely under someone’s control.

So, the hunters immediately assemble a team and head to the nearby gate before the convocation order is issued.

To use a dungeon that hadn’t been in anyone’s hands yet.

Even if it’s a disaster, it’s not like anyone gets caught up in it if there’s no one nearby.

‘That’s why it’s called a honey event for hunters.’

In terms of games, it’s not inferior to an event that doubles the experience.

In that situation, the team would be improvised, but that didn’t matter anymore.

Immediately, I went to the Hunter Association’s site on my smartphone and searched for related articles.

“Looking for a melee hunter with good utility in a party of three.”

“Looking for a D-class or higher hunter to play duo at the emergency gate in Jikdong Neighborhood Park in Uijeongbu.” “

In a party of five, recovery and defense hunters. We are looking for

.

Even though they all gathered only those who said they would enter the gate that occurred in this neighborhood.

The situation is that everyone is trying to take a part in this mega event with one mind and will.

So, I couldn’t help myself this time.

“I can’t afford to miss an event like this.”

If you can check your newly acquired abilities and grow at the same time…

‘There’s no reason to refuse.’

I immediately looked around for job postings and soon packed the equipment in the studio.

It was time to start the first dungeon raid.
