Chapter 18

Chapter 18

There were two men who observed Seol and Adens conversation in the Adventurer Association.

One man even pointed at Seol as he was leaving the building.

Hey.

What?

Did you see that?

See what?

Him. That guy.

Ah! Yeah, I see him. The guy in the robes, right?

The first man only nodded in response.

Yeah. It looks like he tried hard to hide the value of his equipment, but theyre just way too good. I also heard his conversation with the merchant very clearly with Snoop... I guess you have to use tricks like that to get good equipment like him.

He looks pretty strong

No matter how strong he is, we should all be around the same strength since its only been a month. Everyones got a plan until they get stabbed.

What if hes in a guild? Its going to be annoying if hes in a big guild

No matter how many meerkats group together theyre still meerkats. Did you forget? Dont you know what kind of people are the strongest in chaos?

In a place without order, the most dangerous individuals are the ones that desired chaos originally.

Its the guys with nothing to lose.

Yeah, youre right. But we need at least two more people if we want to do something.

We can just borrow two people from the guild then.

Okay.

The two men were named Seo Jincheol and Baek Sang-gyu.

They were both originally bad people.

And it takes a bad person to quickly recognize another bad person.

Not too long after they arrived in Kongory, the two quickly became close.

The two then created a guild for people with the same values as them.

They were amazing at least visually.

There was someone who had his entire body covered in tattoos. There was another person who had multiple, deep stab wounds. There was even a person with cauliflower ears with a neck as thick as a rhino.

Most people would be terrified just by looking at them.

And Jincheol and Sang-gyu fit in perfectly with them.

This group had already killed someone after coming to Kongory.

It was because they wanted to steal that persons equipment and money.

The only difference was that the results of their actions were different from what would happen on Earth.

The people here didnt care about the transferees identities and didnt investigate or punish them.

It was hard for someone to take the difficult path once they have tasted an easier path.

This group believed that they were the kings of the new world.

I want you to go back to the guild and bring about two more people. Im going to go have a conversation with that merchant.

Alright.

Jincheol gave a sly smile and left the Association.

Sang-gyu, who was now alone, approached Aden and spoke.

You dont look like an ordinary person What are you doing here? asked Sang-gyu.

Aden gave an undecipherable laugh as he greeted his new guest.

* * *

Do we really have to go?

Haaah it feels like Im walking toward my death.

I heard that this Adventures easy so dont worry too much.

As the Remaining Time got closer to zero, the transferees became more anxious.

For some, it was a day. For others, days.

There were even some who had to take 2 weeks and a few whose Adventures lasted a month.

Each Adventure had their own different time limits.

This meant that the situation which happened when they first arrived in the city with people coming in droves wont happen anymore.

It is a bit cruel though.

Adventures were cruel themselves but the Rests were what were truly cruel.

A month of rest takes away everyones physical and mental edge. It makes them lax.

If they werent able to get used to this, it would feel like walking down to hell every time they would return to the Adventures.

Seol, unlike the others, was able to take on the Adventure with a much more relaxed mind state.

Because he, unlike the others, knew which path hed had to take in that hell.

Dont die, alright?!

Stop fucking jinxing us!

Were going to meet back here, okay?

The transferees, who were crying like a couple that had broken up, were soon swept away by the light.

Gloooow

Seol and the other transferees were being transported into their Adventures.

[You begin your next Adventure.]Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m

[Your 3rd Adventure is starting.]

[Adventure 3. Nobira Transport Guard]

[Adventure 3. Nobira Transport Guard

In South Pandea, the World of Eternity, there are many different biomes. One of those biomes is the Great Silent Forest. You have been contracted to guard a transport headed to Nobira, a city near the Great Silent Forest.

The problem is that, on the path toward Nobira, there are groups of bandits who also hunt for ruins. You will probably be fine if you do not run into them, but if you do it will not go too easily.

Objective: Guard the transport until it reaches Nobira. Your rewards will decrease as the number of people and wagons decreases.

Class?

Everyone gets one when coming into the world, no? What class did you choose?

Summoner.

Ha! Haha! There was a boring class like that too?

Hahahaha stop he must be so embarrassed.

And whats so bad about that?! A mans gotta dream big if theyre in a land of opportunity like this! How cool is using your fists, a spear, a sword, or anything else like that? Youre just going to hide behind your summons and watch? Thats not a real man, is it?!

Pfft Ah, sorry. Im so sorry. Hes just the talkative type. Even if its wrong I hope you can try to understand. But hes definitely skilled enough to be our ace, so you can trust him.

- Ace dies, right?

- Snowman: Haha true~ They should buff Summoners.

- But why are they so annoying? I wish Jamad or Karuna would come out and cut them to pieces.

- What is he going to do by killing his own party members? He can just use them as meat shields.

One of the men approached Seol with half-closed eyes to ask him another question.

So, are you in a guild?

I havent joined one yet.

What?

The four couldnt help themselves from smiling.

It felt reassuring that Seol didnt have anyone behind him.

Still, people need something they can rely on.

I recommend you join a guild when you get back. Were the Predator Guild. If youre interested, come check us out later when you get back.

I will keep that in mind.

They said when you get back twice as if they were trying to promise themselves to never let him back.

They were constantly looking down on Seol and ignoring him. But still, Seol didnt react to it at all.

Theyre a bit annoying.

Seol was able to deduce that they had ulterior motives through the conversation.

Unfortunately for them, their sly motives wont ever come true.

However, because of his reserved attitude, the four thought of Seol as an easy target they could kill whenever. And because of that, nothing happened during their travels.

A few hours passed and it became time for dinner. Seol had finished resolving himself.

His 1st character and 2nd character

Both of them faced issues during the first night.

So theres a high probability of those problems happening again this time. No, those problems will probably happen for certain.

Because thats how this Adventure was set up.

Hey, come out and have some alcohol!

Alcohol? You have alcohol?

I thought it would be nice for us to have a drink since there werent any problems and the people here wont have to stand watch.

This place really is the best!

Sang-gyus group got off the wagon and walked toward the camp that had been set up. Seol followed not too long after.

A lot of people were sitting in small groups, eating meat, and drinking alcohol.

Here. Its heated up really nicely so itll go down easy. Youll love it.

Aden passed alcohol to everyone.

Seol stared at the cup.

[Insight Activates.]

[You detect a strange smell from the alcohol.]

Seol turned his head to the side and pretended to drink the alcohol.

More accurately, he used Shadow Hand to let the alcohol flow to the ground but no one noticed.

Haaah That was amazing.

Man~ I could definitely get used to this!

Sang-gyus group wasnt satisfied with one cup and reached for more.

Its almost time for Aden to start talking.

And as Seol expected, Aden seemed to have thought the mood was right for him to propose something.

What? Were going to be dropping by somewhere else before we go to Nobira?

Im sorry, but the decision has already been made. But for your troubles, I will triple your rewards.

T-Triple? How much will we be getting then?

600 gold coins per person. How about it?

600 gold coins for a mission this simple?

If Sang-gyus group thought even a little bit they wouldve noticed the fishy smell, but their decision-making must have been off. Sang-gyus group nodded.

Alright!

Hahaha, thats great to hear! So, well be going to

It was at that moment.

Seol hurriedly shouted.

Duck!

What?

Ffffffft!

Dozens of arrows flew toward the wagons.

Stab!

Stab!

Grgh

Kargh!

Seol could read a message that had popped up.
