## Chapter 616 – 616. Deserted Island Of Survival
616. Deserted Island of Survival
“Don’t be complacent. It’s only been ten days. The real challenge is ahead.”
Han Harin was right. It had only been ten days. We hadn’t even cleared half of the dungeon yet.
On the 20th day of survival, another change occurred.
〈Survive〉
〈Survive for the remaining time.〉
A storm hit the deserted island.
Rain and wind lashed, and the waves rose high. They were so high that I didn’t even dare to go near the beach.
‘The good thing is that dark clouds have also gathered. The sky is full of dark clouds… It’s an advantageous situation for me, who uses lightning. I can use those dark clouds to drop lightning as much as I want.’
Monsters appeared from midday.
They were Crackers and Elizards.
Elizards were monsters that resembled lizards. They basically walked on four legs, but they had wings and could fly. They also spewed flames or ice from their mouths. They were also called small dragons.
‘They’re just C-grade monsters. They don’t deserve the nickname small dragons.’
The Crackers were more difficult to deal with.
“Sung Yoojin! Look at the sky! Three Elizards are flying this way!”
“Yes, I see them. I’ll take care of them. They dare to fly in this weather, they have no fear.”
I used lightning.
White light flashed from the dark clouds, and lightning struck the three Elizards flying towards us. The Elizards fell to the ground. But I didn’t stop there. I struck them again with lightning as if to make sure they were dead.
Kwarururungkwaang!
The sound of thunder filling the deserted island made me feel excited.
“Harin, it’s too far to retrieve the magic stones.”
“In this situation, we can’t be obsessed with every single magic stone!”
“You see, Harin, you don’t have any greed for money.”
“Shut up and think about what to do next!”
“There’s nothing to think about, our goal is survival. And those guys are hindering our survival.”
“Don’t forget that survival is the priority, as you said.”
“So we have to get rid of them. They keep appearing on the deserted island. If we don’t get rid of them little by little now… the whole island might be swarming with monsters later.”
“…You have a point. Usually, in survival, it’s better to avoid combat as much as possible…”
“They also say that offense is the best defense.”
As soon as I found a monster, I immediately dropped lightning from the dark clouds. Han Harin also used her abilities as soon as she saw a monster. We actively used our abilities to hunt monsters from a distance.
And on the 28th day of survival.
With 5 days left until the 33rd day of survival, we were exhausted. No matter how many monsters we killed, they kept appearing. Since two days ago, even bipedal fish monsters had appeared from the sea, trying to kill us.
We hadn’t been able to get proper sleep. We took turns standing guard and napping, but we only slept for about 2-3 hours a day. The rest of the time was spent fighting.
“Ugh, damn it. At this rate, I think I’ll collapse from exhaustion before those guys get me. Are you okay, Harin?”
“…I’m fine.”
There was no way she was fine. She looked worse than me. Her eyes were hollow, and her lips were pale. She desperately needed rest.
“Harin, this won’t do.”
“There’s no other way. There’s nowhere to run on this deserted island. The cave we were staying in has been discovered for a long time, and running into the sea is suicide. Five days. We just have to hold out for five days.”
“It seems like it’ll be hard to hold out for those five days, so let’s do something.”
“Haa. Sung Yoojin. Useless words only drain your energy. It’s not like you have another plan… Ah…?”
Han Harin’s body tilted to the side. I quickly reached out and grabbed her to keep her from falling.
“You’re at your limit. You know your gravity manipulation has been unstable since earlier, right? You need to rest.”
“…There’s nowhere to rest. There’s no safe place on this deserted island right now.”
“No, there is one place. The only place we haven’t entered.”
“That place…”
There were two caves on this island.
One was the shallow cave we had been using until recently. And the other was a deep cave with no end in sight.
We hadn’t properly explored the deep cave. Usually, boss monsters exist in such places. If we went into the cave and woke up a sleeping boss monster, things could get difficult.
The goal the dungeon presented was survival for 33 days, not the death of a boss monster.
‘Even if we successfully hunt a boss monster, the dungeon won’t be cleared. It’s just a waste of energy.’
I forcibly picked up Han Harin, who was trying to shake off my support. Han Harin tried to say something but then shut her mouth. Her cheeks were slightly flushed.
“I know that place is unsettling. There might be a boss monster, but there might not be. Right now, that cave is our only hope.”
“Okay. I’ll follow your opinion. So, put me down for now. I just lost my balance because I was tired, it’s not like I can’t walk.”
“Harin, you know how strong I am, right? You’re as light as a feather to me, so just stay still.”
I picked up Han Harin and ran towards the cave. If I encountered a monster on the way, I killed it with lightning.
At the entrance of the cave, I looked inside. It was dark. I couldn’t even guess how deep it was.
Before recklessly entering the cave, I shot lightning into the cave. The inside of the cave lit up for a moment. But it didn’t light up everything. The cave was much deeper than I expected.
‘I shot lightning three times and waited for five minutes, but there’s no reaction or sign of anything. Is there nothing in the cave?’
It was too quiet, which was unsettling.
I turned around.
More than 50 Elizards were flying in the stormy sky, looking for us. The number of Crackers wandering around the deserted island was also increasing.
‘If we stay like this, it’s really dangerous.’
I took out a lantern from my inventory and gave it to Han Harin.
“Harin, hold this.”
“Put me down. I can walk too.”
“I don’t want to.”
“……”
I still held her in my arms and entered the cave.
After walking for about five minutes.
Finally, something appeared.
“Harin, is that a stone door? Am I seeing things?”
“I see a stone door too.”
It was a heavy stone door made of stone. The stone door was open to the side. The number 100 was written on its surface.
“Why is this here? There was nothing artificial on this deserted island.”
“There’s only one reason why the door is here, right? It must have been blocking this place. More than that, I’m more concerned about the number 100 written on the door.”
“There are no traps or monsters… It’s not as dangerous as I thought. If I had known this, I would have explored this place too.”
To be honest, I was so caught up in sex that I had neglected exploration.
“Don’t relax too much. There might be traps or monsters inside.”
I went through the open stone door.
It was warm.
As soon as I entered the stone door, I felt warmth. Han Harin also looked surprised, as if she felt the same.
“It’s a better place than I thought.”
My body, which had been fighting monsters while enduring rain and wind for over a week, welcomed the warmth. My steps slowed down. I felt like I could just take a nap here. But the monster’s roar in the distance pushed me forward.
A second stone door appeared.
This stone door was also open, and the number 200 was written on its surface.
I went through the stone door.
Drip, drip, drip.
A small stream was flowing beside me. I glanced at the stream and walked on.
“Harin, are you thirsty? That seems like drinkable fresh water.”
“I’m okay. The bottled water you gave me is much safer.”
A third stone door appeared.
The number 300 was written on the surface, and the stone door was open.
Beyond the stone door, I could see fruit trees with fruit growing on them.
“Harin, this place is like…”
“It’s a space made for us to live in. Like a shelter.”
“It’s kind of unfair. If I had known this place existed, I would have come here sooner.”
“Even if we had come, there would have been conditions to open the stone doors. Otherwise, there would be no reason for the stone doors to exist.”
“Are those conditions related to the numbers written on the stone doors?”
“Probably.”
“Do you have any idea what the conditions are, Harin?”
“Maybe these stone doors are structured to open only after a certain number of monsters are killed.”
“That makes sense. We’ve been killing monsters steadily since we came to this dungeon. We’ve probably killed over a thousand. If we sell the magic stones we got, we’ll make at least billions.”
“Put me down.”
“Suddenly?”
“If you’re going to carry me, do it properly. Don’t subtly touch my butt and chest.”
“Ah. You caught me.”
I chuckled and walked deeper into the cave.
Inside the fourth stone door, there was a hut, as if it was made for people to rest. The inside of the hut was clean. There were also furniture like beds and tables. But it was not enough for me and Han Harin to stay.
“Should we rest here?”
“No. Let’s go see the fifth stone door. I’m curious about what’s beyond it.”
We found the fifth stone door. The number 500 was written on the surface, and it was also open.
We went inside the stone door.
It was different from the places we had passed through. It was a place filled with old murals.
Me and her froze when we saw the mural in front of us.
What was drawn on the mural was a black tree and a pure white human. No, another creature that looked similar to a human.
“That’s a Pyron, right?”
“……”
Pyron.
The worst monster I met in China. It was a monster that was born from a black tree and quickly became as strong as an A-grade, and could even communicate with humans. Some hunters say that Pyron is another race similar to humans, but to me, they are just monsters.
Han Harin got out of my arms and stood on the floor. And she began to examine the murals around her.
I also looked around at the murals. Some parts were quite erased, so it was difficult to know exactly what they were saying. However, there was one mural that caught my eye.
A large red tree.
It was a picture of many Pyron looking up at a large red tree as if they were worshiping it. The roots of the red tree were very complex and spherical, making it look like the sun.
‘Well, interpreting this mural is something the association and experts should do.’
•••
The 33rd day of survival. The last day.
Me and Han Harin were sitting naked in the room with the murals. My left hand was around her shoulder, and she was leaning her head on my shoulder.
Monsters could be seen beyond the stone door.
On the 30th day, monsters entered the cave. At first, they came up to the third stone door, and after a day, they gathered in front of the fourth stone door, and today, they were swarming right in front of the fifth stone door.
But I wasn’t afraid at all. Because they can’t cross the fifth stone door.
〈33 days of survival completed.〉
〈Congratulations on your survival.〉
〈As a reward, you will receive a survival stone.〉
A stone appeared in front of me and Han Harin.
‘A survival stone? That one?’
I had heard of the survival stone. If you use this stone, you become immune to any damage for 3 seconds.
The effect is excellent. But it’s one-time use, only works for the individual, and the duration is short, so it wasn’t a huge item like a treasure of the century. I know the market price is around 15 billion.
‘In a game, it’s like a 3-second invincibility item. If 3 seconds pass, you’ll take damage without exception, so you have to use it wisely.’
Soon, a portal opened in front of us.
“Harin, we have some time, should we play here a little longer?”
Han Harin frowned and glared at me.
“I’m sick of this place. Let’s go back.”
She got up. My semen dripped down her smooth legs from her vagina. She sighed, wiped her vagina with a handkerchief, and then put on her clothes. I felt a sense of disappointment, but I also put on my clothes and followed her into the portal.
