Naked Dungeon Life 13

Chapter 13 – Chapter 13

Chanil Kim is driving.
He is 6 months older than me.
We drove the company car and hurriedly set off for Suwon.

I asked the senior driving the car what had happened out of the blue.

“Senior Kim. What’s going on?”

“I don’t know. But people died. Since a team was wiped out, it’s clear that something big happened. There was a boss that popped out by surprise, or something went wrong and you got surrounded by a lot of monsters. Otherwise…”

Kim’s face was full of anxiety and annoyance.
A person died Also an Awakener.
It was clear that this was not normal.

“Or what?”

“I don’t know again. Did the Awoken fight bloody battles?”

Although rare, cases of Awoken violence and even murder were occasionally reported on the news.
All of them live in a pompous fashion, and the body itself is a weapon.
A gun to a psychopath. No, it’s the same situation as giving a rocket.

But at least since I joined the company, it hasn’t happened within our company.
They are the lowest among the Awoken, so they can’t be reckless against other Awoken.
I’m sure the backlash will affect normal people like me.
Or maybe you’re just crazy from the start.

“I’m worried.”

“That’s right. I hope it’s not our people. It’s hard from the company’s point of view if you raise it to E-class and die right away.”

“I’m worried about So-ra An, too. Mi-yeon is the same.”

An Sora.
As you might have noticed by her name, she is the only female among the F-rank team leaders.
She is now in charge of the Awakening Team, which has gone on an expedition into the Hwaseong Gate in Suwon.
To be honest, I was more worried about So-ra An and Mi-yeon Kim, a member of the team, than the Awakened.

“Are you alive?”

“I don’t know man. How do I know that?”

The habit came out when she was an assistant on her senior’s team for six months.
She didn’t know anything at the time, so she always had to ask about anything…
No, even if it is, why is it Seungjil?

We are now on equal footing.
Our company is based on the principle of earning a lot of money regardless of the number of years of employment, so as a team leader, my position is no different from that of my seniors.
Of course, I don’t have any results yet, so I have little to say at the meeting.
It is, though. He came in only 6 months earlier and treats me like an inferior person.

Be patient be patient
Let’s see.
Now that my team has overtaken your team, our position will be completely reversed.

The senior was always in a state of annoyance, and I was similar, but she was at least calm on my side.
When I think about a few months ago, I really want to see people change.
Probably the power I have now.
By gaining this power, it seems that even in this unpredictable situation, an unknown confidence springs up.

“Everyone is here. Looks like you can’t go further inside. There are too many cars.”

At the place we arrived, there was no mess with all kinds of vehicles blocking the road.
Maybe it’s for reporters and spectators.

The remaining distance was traveled on foot.
The destination was already in the distance.

Suwon Hwaseong lost its role as a tourist attraction after the appearance of the gate.
This is my first time coming here.
It looked like a small building owned by the state was standing in front of the ruins that had collapsed due to the appearance of the gate.

Have you ever spent any money on an E-class dungeon?

It was definitely different from the F-level dungeon gate entrance.
There was nothing but a tent made of wooden poles.
Compared to that, there was a proper building here.

However, it was too narrow.
Normally it would have been enough, but now reporters and government officials. It was a dense situation with onlookers.

“I’m from Cool Support.”

“Ah, I got a call. Come this way.”

I was able to break through the crowds at the entrance and enter the building.
It was my first time receiving such a flash baptism, so I was embarrassed.
I ignored the questions the reporters asked, as the senior told me to, but I don’t know if this is the Internet, but I’m selling my face.

I hurriedly straightened up and shook my head.
I blamed myself for what I was thinking in this situation.
I barely came to my senses at the seriousness of the faces of the officials in front of me.

“What the hell happened inside? Has the deceased been identified?”

“We don’t know that either. No one has come out of the inside yet.”

“Then how did you know the team was wiped out?”

“That… I found it at the gate this morning.”

The middle-aged civil servant put something down on the table.
What we saw was a very familiar cloth.
An expensive cloth with a special mana coating used to pitch a tent inside a dungeon.
The cloth was unfolded and a red stain was visible.
It looked like bloodstains.

“This…”

“Yes. That’s what you think. It’s tent cloth. It fell in front of the gate, and it looks like it was sent from the dungeon. It’s bloody, so we can’t confirm it as it is, but if we use the camera’s special filter, we can find out what it was used for. I was sure it was an SOS sent from inside the dungeon.”

“What’s the evidence? Just this cloth? Is there any chance that someone was playing around outside?”

“It’s obvious that the cloth was stained with blood… Also, this cloth was held in my hand.”

“Yes? A hand?”

“Yes. Along with this cloth, an unidentified severed arm was found. Of course, he was wearing a C-class mana-coated suit.”

Seyoung drew a picture in her head.
A severed arm sent from beyond the gate and a piece of cloth held in that hand.
Written on the cloth are SOS written in blood and the news that one Awoken team has been annihilated.

In the current dungeon, it would be impossible to escape through the entrance of the gate.
That’s why you sent SOS this way.

Will someone with a severed arm survive?
Of course, if you have a healer…
But I can’t be sure.
Sending a signal while having his arm cut off in the first place means that it was impossible to pass through the gate alive.

Someone must be blocking the gate in the dungeon.
There’s a 99.9% chance that it’s a monster.
The person who called for rescue with his arm cut off is probably… Dead.

I went to the corner with my senior and had a conversation.
All we could do here, not even Awoken, was to wait for other news to come in.

“What should I do, senior? The situation seems serious.”

“First contact the company. No. I’ll do it. You ask the public officials when the rescue team will be dispatched and come.”

When this happens, a rescue team is dispatched.
Awakeners, of course.
Also, only those who are in the top 5% of them are dispatched.

Usually, Awakeners belonging to the military are dispatched, and large corporations sometimes dispatch their own rescue teams.
Because there are so many people who are as strong as the money they have.

A company like ours obviously can’t afford that.
I just roll my feet, hoping others will do something for me.
Just like me now

Hearing the story of the civil servant, he was waiting for the Awakened Rescue Team belonging to the military to come.
Looking at their expressions, I felt a little suspicious.

“Get out of the way! Did you catch a glimpse?”

But it was others who arrived first.
Goseong came and went at the entrance of the building, and after a while, several figures came inside.

Companies that support Awoken like us.
It was Shinbaram Co., Ltd. And the Diamond Guild.
They entered the building at about the same time, and the inside started to get noisy.

The culprit is a company called the Diamond Guild.

As the name suggests, they existed from the time when only the Awakened entered the dungeon before the current expedition system was established.
At that time, it was at the level of a small Awakened social gathering, but as the system has changed, it is now a large company with hundreds of Awakened people and 10,000 ordinary supporters attached to them.

And another one.
It was also the company where Shin Ha-neul went to work.

“How did all of this happen? Hurry up and someone come and brief you! Hurry up, you slow civil servants!”

Judging by his attitude, he must have been an Awakener.
If you look for such a bad ordinary person, you will find them everywhere, but in this situation, only the Awakened can take such an attitude in this place.

If there are ordinary people who behave like that in this situation, it is certain that they will be beaten by the Awakened, end up in a hospital, or later buried on the Internet.

“Hey, Kang Jeong-hyeok! What are you going to do now?”

My senior called me urgently in a small voice, but I didn’t mind.

Surprised myself
What a joke, I went to the Awoken who had just entered and asked for a handshake.
With one thought to see his information.

Awakeners belonging to large corporations wondered what a huge difference there was from us scumbags.
How much better the company Shin Ha-neul is doing than ours.

From behind, I heard the sound of the senior stopping me again.

‘Senior. You don’t have to worry that much.’

I ignored the senior’s words and faced the man confidently.
Even if this baby tries to do something to me, it’s a great way to turn off the magic switch.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Junghyeok Kang from Cool Support.”

The man who came out of the diamond guild, who had a temper, looked at me and said, ‘What are you doing again?’
I pretended nothing was wrong and asked for another handshake.

“What are you?”

“Didn’t I tell you. I’m Kang Jeong-hyeok from Cool Support. It’s a situation where our company’s Awakeners are also inside the dungeon. I thought I’d share some information on the same situation.”

“Don’t bother and get out of the way.”

The man pushed my chest with his big hand.
I didn’t use the power of the Awakener, so I was only pushed back a little.
Then, quietly, he grabbed the man’s hand.

“Oops.”

As I was being pushed away, I trembled for no reason.
That’s how I was able to verify his information.

〈 Name: Daeman Lee 〉

〈 Type: Guardian 〉

〈 * Sync Rate: 0% 〉

〈 * magic attribute : B – 2 〉

〈 skill 〉

– Aura Blade
– Shield Charge
– Shield Dash
– Shield Bash
– Mana Barrier

(* Points currently held for the target: 1)

Are you a great guy
A whopping class B magic attribute.
It was definitely on a different level from the kids on our team.
Looking at the information, I can only sigh for nothing.

If I had a guy like this on my team, I’d suck the honey in the mid-level dungeon.

Contact with him was fleeting, but I was already accustomed to using my abilities.
Even in that short moment, I was able to confirm the potential.

〈 [ Magic attribute ] : B – 2 〉

– Potential: 5/6

– Class: B

– Mana Amount: B – 1 [ B – 2 ] B – 3 B – 4…

– 〈 [ ON ] OFF 〉

After seeing the potential, I snorted.
This kid is strong, but his potential is lower than ours?
As far as I checked, there was not a single person on our team with a lower potential score than this guy.
Are you saying that if you raise those squiggles well, they will be at least this level?

I thought they were just stupid, but they were lazy and exploded.
He has a lot of potential, but he doesn’t put in any effort.

On the other hand, this man.
Lee Dae-man was proud to see that he had grown close to his limit through hard work.
After a while, you will reach your limit and you will not be able to become stronger, but persevere. Boy.

I laughed inside and returned to the place where the senpai was standing.

“I guess I don’t like it.”

When I came back as if nothing was wrong, the senior yelled very softly with a shocked expression.

“Hey. You don’t know him?

“Is that so? I made a mistake. I did it because I thought it was a business partner, but I will go back and apologize.”

Senior Kim hurriedly grabbed my arm, which was heading towards the man again.

I really had no intention of going.
Seeing my senior get flustered because of me, I should stop.

The officials told Lee Dae-man exactly what they had told us, and he became even more angry.

“But are you going to stay still like this? Why aren’t the rescuers coming! If only I knew this would happen…”
.
Lee Dae-man began to show a little again.
To be so mad for the people of his own company.
Maybe I’m not such a bad person.

Lee Dae-man suddenly called somewhere and I overheard the conversation.

“Where are you? Really? It doesn’t matter if you destroy everything, so push in. The responsibility will be with me and the company.”

It wasn’t easy to understand since I heard only one side, but it seemed that someone was coming here.

After a while, a roar began to be heard repeatedly outside, followed by a loud honking of car horns.

I rushed outside to see what was going on.
There, a large trailer that appeared to be a hauler had arrived, and a half-destroyed car was seen on the side of the road.
One of those cars will be our company’s car.

‘It’s gone.’

At that time, Lee Dae-man asked me and my senior.

“Which of the two is the Awoken?”

“We’re both management.”

“Tch. I can’t help it. Come up, both of you.”

I couldn’t understand the situation.
My senior and I were thinking for a while about what Lee Dae-man’s story meant.

“What are you doing? I’m going in to rescue you, so change into a suit quickly!”

“Uh, we’re Awoken…”

The senior trembled and said.

“I heard you’re among the people at your company? Are you going to leave me alone?”

In the end, my senior and I ended up going into a dungeon.

It is a situation that cannot be openly denied as countless reporters and onlookers are watching behind the scenes.
With people from our company also in the dungeon, Lee Dae-man’s mana of going to the rescue can’t be cut off like this.
It was a slope.

If there is any consolation, it is the first time in my life that I can wear an A-class mana-coated suit.
And to have an A-class magic weapon that is said to be close to 10 billion.

That was all.
