[You have been invited to CC-class hunter ‘Shin Jin-cheol’s’ next party.]
[Guide] ‘Jongro Quest Gaedun Corps’ | Difficulty: Ra | Role: Other
[Do you accept?]
/Party Channel, ‘Private’ Entry/
“What the heck… Are you kidding me? Who the hell is this private?! Don’t you know that the nickname for the strategy party is your real name by default? Are you a powerhouse? Did you come to play? Change it now!”
/Party Channel, ‘Private 2’ Entry/
“……What are you trying to do now! Let’s try this?”
Two men, out of breath, watched the fire across the river as the red and blue battalion commander blazed.
The expressions of ‘Innocent civilians don’t know anything’ and ‘I’m a big company and you’re a subcontractor’.
One side is civilians, the other side is the contractor.
The two bullies’ man and woman were so fierce that the crowd was shocked.
Tak Lamin, who was trying to explain to Geo, quickly gave up.
What’s the use of telling civilians about industry rules…
I had no idea what was going on and was speechless when I heard (false) claims that it was all the system.
The twilight side came from the upper part, 〈Dawn〉, and was completely untouched.
“Okay. There’s no time to argue about pointless things. You two should go ‘randomly.’”
Babel is a network where anonymous culture is active.
Accordingly, countermeasures were also prepared to deal with it.
This is exactly the case for nicknames on party channels.
To avoid confusion in order during the strategy, private nicknames can be changed randomly upon request.
When party members think of a certain person’s image, Babel chooses the most suitable name for them.
/[Random] Your nickname will change./
/Private → Nyangachi, Private 2 → Gangster Tofu/
“What the hell?”
Takramin avoided Nyangachi’s gaze.
“What, what, gangster Tofu? Who is this? If you catch him, he won’t let you off easy.”
Yoon Ui-seo turned his head at the gangster Tofu’s threats.
Anyway, anyway, it’s a Jongno level quest dungeon.
A total of ten people, including two S-class (who had hidden their powers).
In the history of dungeon raiding, which is virtually a second-tier league pushed back by the top, an unprecedentedly luxurious lineup has been created.

Geo quickly finished the item attachment with his skill rivaling that of a gambler.
Thanks to this, there is now only one “guide” on the quest: Jianjiao.
However, thanks to the commander who goes wild and says he can’t take civilians, the decision is made on the spot to include the national elite Tak Lamin.
“As I told you, Mr. Geo, all you have to do is touch the ‘Enter Stone’.”
“That?”
“Yes. The crystal pillar next to the portal. Think of it as something like an entry report. It’s an absolutely necessary procedure to safely enter the dungeon.”
Even with the unplanned civilians joining in, Tak Lamin showed no sign of discomfort.
It is a well-known fact that the center’s civil servant hunters are weak towards the citizens.
Geo also listened to his kind explanation quite attentively.
Although this knowledge is the most basic of the basics of hunter knowledge, it is also a level of expertise that is no different from that of a true newbie.
Even before the Hunminjeongeum was written, he was in a situation where he had to wear a gonryongpo, so he had no way of knowing.
It’s been almost 10 years since the actual dungeon was built.
Even that was the tiger’s ‘pocket dungeon’, so there is no comparison.
“You can take a closer look. Is this your first time seeing a real dungeon portal?”
“Wow.”
“Doesn’t it really look like a waterfall?”
“Hiyaa.”
“When you go in, it feels like you’re actually passing through the middle of a waterfall… swoosh, swoosh.”
“Wow!”
“Cahem, hohohoho!”
The platoon leader coughed loudly.
Tak Lamin, who was secretly excited about the live fish-level reaction and explaining, lowers both arms.
Although he was still expressionless, he adjusted his clothes with his protruding earlobes.
“……Anyway. According to the rules, non-awakened people are not allowed to enter, but Geo-ssi is the target of the quest, so he should be fine. Since it’s a dirty case, don’t worry too much about safety.”
The dungeon entrance, ‘Portal’, is located in one place like a waterfall.
And the entrance device that passes through there, the ‘Enter Stone’.
If a normal person touches the stone, they will be bounced off, but if they ignore it and jump into the portal, they will be completely wiped out.
Of course, there are exceptions.
There are also miraculous things like rolling around in the mountains while digging for ginseng and waking up in a dungeon.
That’s a really good chance of getting struck by lightning.
Usually, when ordinary people enter a dungeon, it is when they are caught up in a ‘dungeon war’.
Now, Seo Ga-hyun and her friends were in a similar situation to the civilian version of Gyeonji-o.
As Tak Ramin said, these are things that actually happen quite often.
“Agent, won’t you tell me that?”
“What do you mean?”
“The general public who get caught up in this way have a high chance of awakening. If we do well, we’ll see a new awakened person in the middle of the attack.”
Captain Shin Jin-cheol started to act up while holding a large sword as big as his body.
“I came here to attack, but I’ve never heard of anyone getting awakened by a stranger. How lucky I am. When you awaken, I’ll repay you properly, okay? Lucky girl.”
“Okay, Mr. Shin Min-cheol.”
“……? My name is Shin Jin-cheol.”
“I told you so, Mr. Jin Jin-cheol.”
“It’s Shin Jin-cheol.”
“I am ground? I got it, Mr. Jeong Jin-cheol.”
“……”
[The Holy Spirit, the ‘Fate Reader’ rolls up his sleeves and asks why that arrogant bastard Jeong Jin-cheol is glaring at another person’s baby, Go-young, and making a fuss.]
[When I say let’s see, let’s see, he starts to poke around, saying he’ll let me taste the hot star punch.]
‘Sigh. Stop it. You shouldn’t hit humans just because you’re a star. Protect humans.’
[Your Covenant, ‘Reader of Fate’ cries out, ‘But, but.’]
Okay. I didn’t receive the home education fantasy to the point where I could just slap anyone who didn’t like it.
Geo humbly lifted his hand and raised his middle finger behind his back.
It’s not that I don’t understand the prickly psychology of middle-aged men.
From the god-like person who suddenly started carrying it around, to the guy sent by the higher-ups, he looks like that over there.
In front of the portal.
Twilight, looking anxiously into space three times per second.
“Wow… Wh-Why aren’t you answering, Joe Ham…? This old barbell, the kid that’s laggy…?”
Feeling the air.
Mutter to yourself.
In just a few minutes, you can see your flesh disappearing. It’s like soft tofu turning into dried tofu.
“Huh. Huh, is this an emergency? It was a distress signal, but I don’t think they recognized it, like……”
‘If he keeps up like that, he’ll end up writing fan fiction.’
“Where are you going, if you’re stuck, shake the carrot… and watch me…”
‘It’s gone. It’s gone. The snow is gone.’

Bambi: Crazy bastard
And there’s one person who flinches more than the twilight every time the number 1 channel rings.
“I will enter!”
Geo turned his head as he looked at Yoon Eui-seo, who had turned pale like a corpse.
A portal that ripples like a waterfall, right in the center of the building’s glass doors.
At the commander’s shout, one by one, people gathered near the purple crystal.
Then, as soon as I raised my hand, it suddenly attacked me… A cold, strange feeling and a fifth sense.
A split second later.
Kyeonji opened his eyes, surrounded by damp moisture.
The walls and floors were covered in moss and mucus, and there was an unpleasant, unfamiliar smell.
Anyone can see that this place is.
[You have entered the quest dungeon, ‘Crack Contamination (Level 1)’.]
