Chapter 29

What he took out was an egg that was slightly larger than a regular egg. The unusual thing about it was that it had a round mouth attached to it, and its sharp teeth was currently grinding, as if wanting something.

[Item] ???'s Egg

[Rank] ???

[Description] It hatches after being carried for a certain period of time. Its form changes depending on the food given. It is still unknown what will come out.

‘I'm glad I obtained this egg.’

Awakened individuals often referred to this unnamed egg as the Unknown Egg, and this could be obtained in many places within the Demon World, but the rank of such area was at least Dragon-rank. Hence, obtaining it was difficult, so it was one of the items that went for billions in the auction market.

‘But for now, it doesn't have any immediate benefits. I’m more in need of a better weapon right now...’

After opening the shop window, Seo Gangrim quickly scanned through the weapon category. The weapons he liked couldn't be purchased with the current spirit pearls he had. Hence, he explored further into the shop instead, and he found that the auction system was active.

"It wouldn't be a bad idea to sell something on the auction house and use the money to buy a weapon."

The sword provided by the Destiny Protection Bureau was just an average item. It wasn't bad to use in the First and Second stages, but it fell short from the third stage onwards. Moreover, using ‘Sword Unsheathe’ with an average sword would inevitably reduce the ability’s effectiveness.

By now, awakened individuals would be appearing outside as well. The faster ones would have already established their sects. If he used the auction to sell the unknown egg to them, he could make money in a short period of time, but...

"The auction will take a long time. It might be sold for a low price as well."

Even if awakened individuals appeared, they were a minority. Moreover, there would be few people who recognized the value of a good item, so there was a high probability that the auction price would be low.

"For now, let's buy a weapon to use in the Fourth stage."

He decided to temporarily buy a Human-rank sword from the shop, since he could obtain weapons in the next stage as well.

"With that out of the way, I now need to focus on raising the Unknown Egg."

The egg whose contents were unknown. Seo Gangrim lightly touched the edge of the egg with his finger. As he did, the mouth of the egg opened wide and sharp teeth appeared.

- Snap!

Before the teeth could bite his finger, Seo Gangrim quickly pulled his hand back. The egg gnashed its teeth and tore at the empty air like a hungry beast.

"It's more ferocious than I heard."

He'd heard that some of these eggs were so voracious that they left no bones behind when they’re done eating. To prevent any accidents, Seo Gangrim carefully wrapped the egg and placed it inside his embrace.

"Now, let's go find some food."

As he heard the sound of the egg's teeth grinding, he headed outside. The door to the Fourth Stage had already been opened without him realizing it.

"Sooah would be in trouble in this stage, so I have to go with her. But before that..."

Instead of entering the Blade Forest, Seo Gangrim entered the Fire Hell. He could hear the egg grinding its teeth from within his embrace.

[Confirming the entrance of "Shin Sooah," "Yoon Bom," "Yoon Geoul,"]

[Entering the Blade Forest.]

The door in the middle of the forest opened, revealing three people. As Shin Sooah stepped inside, she could feel her breath becoming noticeably more comfortable. The Fourth Stage seemed like a forest at first glance. The refreshing scent of grass filled the air, making it feel like they were on a vacation in the mountains.

Yoon Bom took a deep breath and exclaimed, "Wow, it's a forest this time. I feel so much better here!"

"There probably won't be any Yetis here, right?" Yoon Geoul said with a hint of unease.Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

"He always talks tough, but deep down, he's a gentle person. Don't you think so?"

Yoon Bom laughed, agreeing with Shin Sooah’s words. Yoon Geoul's sulking expression also softened a bit. Then, Shin Sooah noticed something and stopped abruptly.

"There's a demon over there."

[Discovered demon 'Scythe Mantis'.]

In front of them was a demon in the shape of a mantis. If there was a difference from a normal mantis, it was that it was the size of a dog. Yoon Geoul immediately strung her bow upon seeing it.

-Quack!

The arrow pierced through the Scythe Mantis's head accurately. As the fallen mantis's small mouth opened, spirit pearls rolled out. When Yoon Geoul picked up the spirit pearls, her mission window was updated.

"It counted as three. Oh, I have to slay three hundred of them."

"Still, we should be able to catch enough within two weeks, so let's get started."

The three of them immediately began hunting. While they were engrossed in battle, Yoon Bom noticed something and spoke up, "Oh? What's over there...?"

Yoon Bom pointed beyond the grassy area. There, something was lying down. It was a demon in a beast form that they had never seen before.

Yoon Bom looked puzzled as she said, "Did we enter another demon's territory?"

"Perhaps. Let me take a quick look at what kind of demon it is."

Yoon Geoul walked briskly towards the corpse. At that moment, Shin Sooah's 'Sense' captured something, and she urgently shouted, "Geoul, stop!"

As Seo Gangrim came out to the lobby and was adjusting his equipment, his ears suddenly started to itch, so he scratched them.

'Who's talking bad about me somewhere?'

Whoever cursed or insulted him, he didn't care anymore. He was already gotten used to it. Compared to being rejected in his past life, these seemed peaceful.

"Hello, Gangrim-ssi. Are you going alone today? Want to go together?"

There were even people who approached him like this. They were still attempting to conquer the Third Stage.

"Yes, I'm going alone. I'm heading to the Fourth Stage,"Seo Gangrim answered with a dry tone, not wanting to get involved with them.

"Oh, I see. We're still in the Third Stage... Then let's hunt together next time!"

Whether they were aware of his disposition or not, they still had smiling faces. He turned his back and headed straight for the Fourth Stage.

Upon entering, he heard the familiar notification sound.

[Confirming the entrance of 'Seo Gangrim'.]

[Entering the Blade Forest.]

Once inside, he noticed footprints left here and there, indicating that some people had entered before me. Seo Gangrim recalled that the ones who cleared the Third Room were him, Shin Sooah, Yoon Geoul, Yoon Bom, and Dok Gojun. Dok Gojun had been going alone these days, so there was a high probability that these footprints belonged to the trio. If the past and the present were the same, he had to pay attention to Shin Sooah in this stage. As he followed the footprints, a notification window appeared.

[Entered the Blade Forest.]

[Please collect spirit pearls. 0/1000]

[Time Limit: 2 weeks]

A thousand of them. This was where the hard work began. It seemed easy at first glance, but there were many things to consider in this place. For example, voices coming from the sky.
