Chapter 180 – Doom Seeker (8)
As the guild leader, I hid the dungeon where the ‘Evening Primrose of 100 Years’ was growing.
The guild leaders of other guilds also have several hidden dungeons.
Why?
It helps in many ways.
The value of the by-products from the monsters is considerable, so it is possible to obtain it periodically, or to hide the property secretly from others, or to use it for the public good of the guild.
Each possesses the dungeon by tricking the eyes of the Association for different reasons.
If there’s one interesting thing here, it’s that each of us knows the location of each dungeon we own.
Well, it’s not that I deliberately step on my back, I’m a competitor, and I have to move in line with the opponent’s steps, so those things are mixed in the information I naturally dig out.
“This is the golden age, the golden age.”
Slowly, the decrease in population slowed down, so I robbed a few of the guild leaders’ unsanctioned dungeons I knew, and there are quite a few explorers found there.
Over the course of 8 hours, the population decreased by 40, of which I killed 20.
And all of these came out of the rain dungeon of the guild masters.
“Oh, well, let’s hide it a little bit.”
Guild leaders who are sucked by the state each have five or six dungeons.
At least in this part I’m on the proud side.
Because I didn’t hide it as much as they did.
Didn’t you even have a flower to bloom as a present for your wife?
When I retrieved it, I was going to report it to the association right away.
Of course, now it has become none of my business.
After clearing out all the dungeons I could remember roughly, I was now at my limit.
“I really don’t have any more…”
Information has been exhausted, and even if you go to a place where there are many dungeons in each province, the location of the searcher is not displayed.
[Remaining: 28/300]
There is no change in the remaining population from one hour ago.
That means that not only me, but most of them are unable to locate the seeker.
I look at the history of the quest that was suddenly thrown three days ago.
They said something happens when you can’t get rid of all the Seekers…
[If you fail to eliminate the Seeker within the set time, the probability of a disaster will increase.]
I mean, that word is very vague.
It’s not that a disaster will strike, what else is the probability of an attack increasing?
So you’re saying that the odds are high and it may not come?
“It’s so embarrassing.”
What is it?
The true nature of the disaster they were referring to.
Are you talking about natural disasters like floods and earthquakes?
Or not… , What kind of incident does it mean that will happen in relation to the dungeon?
At the same time, the scenery of that time comes to mind.
The cruel scenery of the destroyed city, which was carried while sleeping and wandered here and there.
“Ah, no.”
Shake your head lightly to dispel any ominous thoughts.
Could the world be like that just because a few explorers missed it?
The remaining time is approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes.
Until then, let’s go around diligently.
What if it still doesn’t work… , Is unavoidable.
.

“Crukreuk… !”
Flutter!
Do you know that time is running out?
Finally, with one particularly desperate seeker, all the time given was exhausted.
Fatigue is worse than expected.
Is it natural to go through more than 10 dungeons in one day?
While stretching and shaking off the tired feeling attached to my body, a message window pops up.
[Time has expired.]
[Thank you all for your hard work.]
[After a while, the settlement will begin.]
Messages announcing the end are pouring down.
“… It’s a failure.”
One thing is for sure, getting rid of all the explorers hiding in the dungeon failed.
“Twelve…”
A total of 12 explorers survived within the territory of the Republic of Korea.
Other countries have done more than us, but it seems that there is no place that is completely blocked.
If you couldn’t find them all in a country with this narrow land mass, how would other countries with a large land mass be shocked?
Exit the dungeon through the safety room.
“You worked hard.”
Yoon Ji-an, who doesn’t look much different from three days ago, but if you look closely, has thick dark circles under her eyes, greets me with a smiling face.
“Now… , Are you done?”
It is a mistake to feel that her question is full of earnestness… Would not be
Even if you are an awakened person, driving for three days and waiting for people is not easy.
After asking her sincere question, he immediately hugged her and patted her on the back.
“It is over. It was really hard.”
“Ah… , No. Mr. Do-jin really worked hard. Hmm… , I don’t know why she suddenly did such a forced march.”
What a nice person.
She shows how loyal she is, and how serious and prudent she is, just by silently following someone who is on a forced march for no reason.
As expected, she is the office wife I picked up.
“Sue.”
She inhales deeply as she buries her face in the nape of her neck.
“Do, Mr. Dojin… !”
A confused voice is heard from her.
Are you worried about body odor?
A faint smell of sweat from the breath you inhaled deeply.
“Ah, it must smell because I didn’t wash it…”
The heartbeat that gradually accelerates from the inside of the breasts that are touching is conveyed as it is.
You don’t have to worry so much.
“You don’t have to worry. Because it smells just right.”
Personally, I don’t like this smell.
No, on the contrary, I guess I like it.
How to say… , Why, there are those smells.
It’s definitely not a good smell, but it’s the kind of smell that makes you addicted to the pungent feeling.
Like cocaine, for example.
If it’s so addictive, I’ll make it by adding a drug name to the smell.
Women’s body odor is similar.
Even if you are in the same situation, you don’t get tired of a completely different smell, and it feels like your addiction only deepens.
She asks, wriggling in her arms.
“Now… , Where can I take you?”
There is a subtle sense of anticipation in the question.
When I told you to wait for twelve hours, it seems you were really waiting for now.
To betray that trust is to commit a great sin.
“Shall we go to the best hotel nearby? Or not… , Even if the facilities are not good, where can I go the fastest?”
The nape of her neck burns red at the blatant question.
“… I will look for it.”
Yoon Ji-an, who was quietly lowering her head, pushed me lightly with her arm and took out her smart phone.
“Good facilities, very close hotel.”
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Shoot ah ah-
Listening to the sound of water coming from the shower room not far away, I lie in a daze and stare at the ceiling.
“… Really looking for this.”
Her will was truly amazing.
I never thought I would find a hotel not too far away with good facilities.
They even made reservations on the spot in one room.
Thanks to her, she was able to rest her languid body like this.
“I want to sleep.”
Looking at it blankly makes me want to sleep.
If you set your mind to it, you could fall asleep right now in 3 seconds.
But there is one thing that precedes the desire for sleep.
“I want to cool off and go to sleep.”
I’ve felt it for a long time, but my number one desire in life is like sexual desire.
Even in the middle of being tired, I want to sleep after taking a cool step with this tired body.
What if I just sleep… , I brushed my teeth, but I think I’ll feel embarrassed as if I didn’t brush my tongue by mistake.
While waiting for her to wash and come out while enjoying her moderate drowsiness.
[Settlement starts now.]
“Oh.”
Settlement, which had been forgotten for a while due to being distracted by the woman, began.
[We have succeeded in eliminating 9982 out of 10800 seekers hiding on Earth.]
[The probability of a disaster increases by the number of 918 surviving seekers.]
More objects than expected were hiding, and more objects than expected were eliminated.
“918 of them…”
I don’t know if I caught a lot or missed a lot.
I don’t even know what the probability of a catastrophe that has risen by the number of 918 is.
“If you’re going to tell me, I’ll let you know in a cool way, sure.”
Even if you hear about it, you don’t know anything, so you’re just anxious.
[From now on, it is a personal settlement.]
[Participant 504 eliminated a total of 168 Seekers.]
Going down from Seoul to Busan and back up, I went around everywhere I could reach.
It’s a number that I got through so much hard work.
There are 300 seekers hidden in the territory of Korea, and since I caught more than half of them by myself, I can expect to rank in the rankings.
[The leaderboard will be released next.]
A huge message window that I have never seen before appears in front of me.
What was contained in the long message window was the number and rank of the participants.
If that’s the case, you should be able to skim all the way down from the top without having to look at everything.
[First place. Participant 1 (563)]
“… Is that possible?”
My heart was broken from the start.
1st place is 563, then how much did the rest 2nd to 5th place catch?
Let’s go down a bit…
[2nd place. Participant 2 (482)]
[3rd place. Participant 4 (319)]
[4th place. Participant No. 7 (225)]
The difference between the ranks is quite large than expected.
A broken heart is gradually revived.
And finally.
[5th place. Participant No. 504 (168 animals)]
A disparate three-digit number occupies a spot in the fifth place at the end.
“… This is it.”
Bewildered feeling.
After seeing the 6th and 7th place numbers, my heart tightened.
[6th place. Participant No. 11 (167)]
[7th place. Participant No. 18 (166)]
Not only the 6th and 7th places, but all the ranks listed below me are like that.
The ranking was decided by a difference of only one dog.
“… All I can say is that I was really lucky.”
I usually don’t believe in luck, but this only makes me think that I was really lucky.
That’s why it was so dramatic to find and eliminate the last seeker.
As I was moving from one road to another in a car, a dot stuck deep in the mountains saved me.
[A special reward will be given to participant 504 who placed 5th.]
[The reward is what the participant ‘needs most right now’.]
“What is this again…”
What do I need the most right now?
… Nothing comes to mind?
No, who decides that it is necessary in the first place?
Around the time when thoughts bite their tail after tail.
[A large amount of Karma is awarded as a reward.]
“Up… ?”
The bracelet I was wearing on my wrist starts to vibrate like crazy.
At the same time, something slowly fills up inside the transparent marble.
Dense, turbid gray smoke.
The moment it filled up to 1/3 of the marble.
Another message window popped up.
[Attributes are strengthened as Karma reaches a certain level.]
[The ‘person with qualities’ trait has been strengthened to ‘person with karma.]
[There will be changes in the body.]
[Prepare for pain!]
… Suddenly?
The moment you think about it.
“Kkottong!”
She lost consciousness for a moment at the pain that twisted and squeezed her whole body.
