Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell - Chapter 84
# 84
084
The three were speechless when a burning door suddenly appeared in front of them.
Daesung even moved to the side as if to tell me to go in quickly.
It was Hwang Jun-young who first asked a question on behalf of the shocked group.
“What is that?”
“Let’s set some rules.”
When Daesung continued talking without answering the question of what that was, Hwang Junyoung inadvertently closed his mouth.
Everyone listened to him, unable to take their eyes off the cold white light pouring in.
“First, don’t ask anything. What is that? What’s out there? What is the identity of things beyond? nothing.”
“….”
“I only speak one-sidedly. Instead, the guidance is kind and thorough. So don’t ask questions.”
The moment you allow questions, there is no bottom or no end.
Above all, I am not confident that I can give a clear answer even if I ask about the identity of hell and demonic beasts.
To survive hell, you needed one mindset.
as soon as.
“Just accept it for what it is.”
“Accept it…”
“Because it would be a place where survival would not be guaranteed even if you rolled over while you had time to understand and think.”
Of course, this type of advice won’t be able to get them to take their conflicting steps.
Daesung spoke in a serious tone with his back turned to the pouring light.
“I won’t say that beyond this door is a safe place. But that doesn’t mean it’s a place where you should die in vain. “Live or not is entirely up to you.”
The hierarchy of hell, where there are no thoughts or ideologies, is determined by the logic of each person’s power.
If you think about it that way, it’s not an unfair world. It’s a place where you can reach the top if you fight well.
All three just swallowed their saliva and couldn’t say anything.
Because I was banned from asking questions, I had nothing to say.
“I promise you one thing. Are you begging me? I allow it. “I won’t say anything more about him.”
The three of them became mute.
Only the pouring light and the sound of the stone door burning dominated the silence.
“These are the conditions on which I accept you. If you don’t like it, quit. Because I’m not forcing it. “If you don’t feel like doing it, I just go do my own thing.”
Before Daesung’s words came pouring out like rapid fire, there was even a period.
Jeopuk-.
The person who stepped forward as the first batter was Shin Cho-young.
Hwang Jun-young instinctively stretched out his arm to grab her, but quickly withdrew it.
“Why are you two hesitating?”
Shin Cho-young forced the corners of her mouth up as she was hit by the enormous white heat and the heat of hellfire.
“First of all, saying I would fall into a pit of fire wasn’t something I just said. “Isn’t it the same for you, teacher?”
“….”
“We have no choice. “It would be much more violent to burn to death in a fire pit than to be left on the street with nowhere to go, right?”
What kind of wildfire did those words become in Hwang Jun-young’s heart?
Soon, Hwang Jun-yeong also nodded resolutely and followed her, walking closer to the stone gate.
Then, attention naturally focused on Park Dong-hyuk.
“I never said anything about going into the fire pit.”
“So, are you planning to stay in the mountains like this forever? “It’s not a monster from an urban legend.”
“Holy shit. “Why did I go through all this trouble?”
Park Dong-hyeok, who was hesitating and twitching his fur-covered legs, glared at Daesung and asked.
“I told you not to ask questions, but let me really ask you this one thing. If I go through that door, will you take responsibility for me too?”
“At least it will prevent people from mistaking you for a monster and trying to kill you.”
All you have to do is call it a pet you carry around with you.
It wouldn’t matter since it was already widely known that he was leading a strange group of zombies.
“Of course, if you show me that much sincerity.”
“Damn it….”
Since I was stuck in the mountains anyway, I don’t want a fancy city life.
However, there is a world of difference between being secluded because you want to and being forced into isolation.
Park Dong-hyuk faced the stone gate with an expression as if he was chewing a knife and swallowing it.
Hwang Jun-young smiled slightly and patted his shoulder.
“Good idea.”
“Quiet. “Because I’m disturbed.”
Just like that, all three disappeared into the light as if they were being sucked in.
Daeseong, who was the last person in line, also entered through the stone gate.
Sigh-.
bang.
***
[Enter the Pantheon.]
[Pantheon recognizes the ‘Journal of the Absolute.’]
“Wow…. It’s so white.”
“Be careful, Choyoung.”
“Mr. “I’m already anxious.”
The three people who entered the Pantheon’s unique, quiet space each expressed their impressions.
They only responded to the white world inside and did not pay attention to the system window with its edges burning fiercely or the journal floating in the air.
‘It seems only my eyes can see it, even inside the Pantheon.’
At that time, the system sent another notification one after another.
-Hwareuk.
[Three unidentified beings have entered the Pantheon.]
[Do you approve their entry? If approval is not desired, the system forces the intruder to leave.]
“Approval. And can’t we make those guys see the system too?”
This is because I thought it would be more convenient in many ways to let them see their own systems.
The system recognized what he wanted and immediately provided an answer.
[Do you want to activate Hell’s UI for those who have approved it?]
[When activated, each user can view and confirm status pop-ups and notification messages.]
[However, the overall operation of the Pantheon, including entry, exit, and log activation, is handled by the Absolute. Unique authority.]
Very good answer.
If the management of the Pantheon is our exclusive authority, that means that we can unilaterally take control.
“I will do that.”
While Daesung was giving orders to the system, the other three were watching him from a distance as if they were curious.
“You’ve been talking to yourself since a while ago… I guess you can see things that we can’t see.”
“Hmm, I don’t know what it is, but it’s disturbing me…?!”
Grumble-!
Unknowingly, a burning square window appeared in front of the three.
All three of them shuddered and winced at the same time, as if they were salty.
“Mr. Seo. This…?”
“Can you see Choyoung with your own eyes? Donghyuk, you….”
“Holy shit, my heart almost stopped.” “What is this all of a sudden?”
The three tried to ask Daesung about the identity of the notification window, but first focused their attention on the text written there.
[Hell’s UI has been activated.]
[Command: < View > to check the status window.]
Only then did all three cast a questioning look at Daesung.
“Don’t look here, just do what it says there. “Then we’ll get to the middle.”
The three just rolled their eyes blankly and then said in unison, “Read.”
-Hwareuk.

There is no human on Earth who does not know online games.
Shin Cho-young, as well as the older Hwang Jun-young and Park Dong-hyuk, looked at the status window with a look of confusion and familiarity.
“This is… no matter how you look at it, it looks like that, right, teacher?”
“Yeah, it’s like a game.”
“But what are the two question marks?”
“Two spaces?”
“It’s under things like strength and durability. There are two items marked with question marks…”
“I only have one, but Choyoung, you have two?”
Shin Cho-young and Hwang Jun-young both raised their eyebrows as if wondering what that meant.
When attention was drawn to Park Dong-hyuk once again, he shrugged his shoulders.
“I only have one item marked with a question mark. “You mean the question mark above the thing that says ‘unique characteristics’?”
Shin Cho-young’s complexion gradually darkened.
It’s understandable to feel anxious because you’re the only one with an item locked.
“….”
Perhaps because he was in control of the system, the three status windows were clearly visible to Daesung.
Although the UI was activated at the same time and moment, the contents of the status window were slightly different for each of the three.

It was much quicker to explain while I was watching them chatting among themselves.
“That’s just as written there. Unique characteristics only appear when you meet the conditions. The same goes for skills. Someday, the system will figure it out and give you the right one.” “Then that’s it.
” The condition….”
“How do I know that? You have to find it out on your own.”
“….”
Shin Cho-young was restless and just kept looking at the question mark.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t understand that feeling since he was an experienced Daeseong.
” “The two people are a unique case. One is an awakened Auror, and the other is a different species.”
Daesung, who was an ordinary person like Shin Cho-young 80 years ago, had never seen such a case before.
Hwang Jun-young patted her shoulder and offered deep consolation. While handing it
over, Daesung approached the journal and asked the system.
“Can I re-enter an area where I have already completed the quest once?”
[Re-entry is only possible in areas where one or more quests during item materialization field materialization have been completed. .]
[Currently, there are a total of six types of fields that allow re-entry.]
[1. Predator’s Forest 2. Demon King’s Territory 3. Flame King’s Territory 4. Slayer’s Nest 5. Valark’s Iron Castle 6. Spider Valley ]
Daesung thought hard about which of these fields would be the most harsh and efficient for them to use,
but his worries were short-lived because the elimination method was simple.
‘The domains of the 15 lords and the iron castle of Balark… will die. In reality, it is a place where it makes no sense to survive.’
Then, all that remains is the Predator’s Forest and Spider Valley.
Considering they were beginners, ‘Forest of the Predator’ was the most appropriate, but…
‘Am I wasting my precious time here trying to look after their situation from beginning to end?’
Daesung shook his head and shook off the faint sympathy that passed through his mind.
Once the decision was made and the order was issued, the pages of the journal turned quickly.
[Page 46: Would you like to re-enter the area you entered on day 93 of year 14?]
Before answering, Daesung turned to the three and opened his mouth.
“Get ready.”
“what?”
Park Dong-hyuk, who was looking at the system window with a look of curiosity, asked.
“What are you preparing?”
“Prepare to be sick.”
[Perform the command of the Absolute.]
[Page 46: Re-enter the area you entered on day 93 of the year -14.]
As always, the white space was split into small pieces and the scenery was changed.
The three of them were alert and exclaimed at the sudden change.
But that elasticity.
“Kuh…?!”
“Oof…?!”
It didn’t take long before it turned into a pain filled moan.
As soon as the gloomy night of the canyon unfolded, Hwang Jun-young and Shin Cho-young collapsed with blood clots forming on their necks.
“Ugh…. big keuhuk….”
“Ugh-. Huh…!”
It’s like a reaction you might see from a death row inmate just before being strangled.
Daesung looked indifferently at the state window that mutated above them as they struggled.
???: [Time left until opening: 2 minutes 50 seconds… 2 minutes 49 seconds…]
Spider Valley is not strange.
This is a physiological phenomenon that is bound to happen if you fall into hell.
And if I wanted to endure here from now on, I had to chew up and swallow this pain.
“You, you bastard…”
Unlike Hwang Jun-young and Shin Cho-young, who were unable to speak and were writhing around.
Park Dong-hyuk was still able to see, hear, and speak.
“It’s pretty good. “It must be rewarding to be in the body of the self-proclaimed strongest creature.”
“Everyone…shut up. “What… what’s going on…?”
“It’s not a bad thing.”
This is not Earth.
A different world where the gravity I always felt and the air I took for granted were different.
It is natural that adaptation is necessary.
“Good medicine is bitter in the mouth. If you just hold on for 3 minutes like it says there, you will be rewarded.”
“Ugh…!”
In the end, Park Dong-hyuk couldn’t stand it anymore and put his hands on the ground and retched.
Right then.
[This is an area where the realization of ‘space’ has been completed. You can reproduce the demonic beasts that inhabit the area.]
[Demon beasts that can be reproduced: 1. Death spell. 2. Queen’s invocation.]
Sending such a timely message without even asking, does it mean that the system also recognized Daesung’s intentions?
Daesung opened his mouth, thinking that he liked me for the first time in a long time.
“Summon the master.”
This is still the case for them.
If it’s a fortune teller, it’s not impossible to defeat even a level 1 beginner if they join forces and fight desperately.
bang-!
In the end, Park Dong-hyuk was pounding his fists and pouring out foam.
square-. square-.
An ominous sound came to his ears, which were at least somewhat sane.
“Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee……”
Park Dong-hyeok’s head slowly turning to the source of the sound as he exerted all his might.
And saw.
square-. square-.
[50 Saju have been recreated on the field.]
Spiders crawling from all directions through the darkness.
Each of their sizes is comparable to the height of an adult male when placed vertically.
Three pairs of purple eye sockets flashed menacingly in the darkness.
“Hold on for three minutes and when you come to your senses, kill those guys. “I need to level up.”
“What a bastard…!”
“They are strange people who cannot win if they fight to the death.”
“Uhhhh…!!”
Park Dong-hyeok, who was screaming as if he was about to vomit out his internal organs, became speechless and retreated, holding the other two under his arms.
Even the simple act of strengthening my legs and maintaining my balance feels like my brain cells are being torn apart.
Swish.
The resentful eyes flew towards Daesung like a spear.
Daesung brushed it off and quietly ordered the system.
[Do you want to leave the area? Yes / No]
Just before choosing ‘Yes’.
Daesung informed.
“Time passes the same way here and outside reality.”
In ‘real hell’, one year lasted 10 years, but in the hell implemented by Pantheon, the same amount of time passed as in reality.
“I’ll come by exactly once a day to check on your survival.”
“You damn thing…!”
“Level 20. That’s your goal. “It’s twice the level I achieved in one year.”
-Poof!
When a saju that came closest flew in, Park Dong-hyuk swung his right foot and narrowly knocked it away.
Regardless of the system, Park Dong-hyuk himself has excellent physical specifications, so the worst will not happen.
Daesung, who saw the scene, was relieved and pressed ‘Yes’.
“Then I’ll just go do my own thing.”
Before Park Dong-hyuk could swear at him as he waved his hand.
Pot-.
Daesung disappeared in an instant, as if he had fallen to the ground.
“That… that devilish bastard…!”
I was so frustrated that I was on the verge of tears, but I didn’t have time to cry because the spiderlings were constantly coming at me.
Just like that, Park Dong-hyuk held the two unconscious people under his armpits.
Pak-!
Plop-!
Running, rolling, kicking… I did everything I could.
Although it felt like 300 years.
Click-. Click-.
[Time left until opening: 3 seconds… 2 seconds… 1 second…]
The system counted the seconds fairly and accurately.
– Click.
The moment the three minutes of torture ended.
[Magic power is unlocked.]
Flash.
Hwang Jun-young and Shin Cho-young’s eyes were opened.
