Chapter 218 – Guardian of the Dungeon
The two burned so hot that they started coveting each other’s bodies like crazy, and they were able to finish the sex that started early in the evening until dawn.
‘…It must have completely fallen off soon, right?’
Seong-il played stickyly with Ah-hyun from deep dawn and early evening. When he gets tired of her long act and her Ahyeon falls asleep, he carefully takes out her arm that was holding her and carefully checks whether she is really asleep by using her 『Her Sensation』.
‘He’s definitely sleeping.’
Seong-il thinks the use of 『Emotion』 Has really increased after leveling up.
Thinking so, he carefully moves to the 『Inner Plane』 With Ah-hyun by his side.
‘Whoa… I’ve definitely confirmed that the prophecy is true, so I guess I’ll have to take refuge in the game world for a while.’
Of course, Seong-il is very curious about the identity of Professor Cho Woo-young, who is spewing out terrible malice.
However, Professor Cho Woo-young’s true ability, which he had grasped the day before, was so frightening that he realized that he could run into a big problem trying to satisfy his curiosity.
‘I’m curious about Professor Cho Woo-young’s identity, but there’s no need to go out and run into a crisis as prophesied.’
Therefore, Seong-il decides to go back to the game world for the time being and become stronger in the game, at least until he has the skills to face Woo-young Jo.
‘Hmm… First of all, the martial arts world is stamped by many powerful forces, so it’s a bit difficult to walk around there.’
For this reason, Seong-il weighs the “Cursed Throne” That he has yet to clear and the “Guardian of the Dungeon” That he has just purchased.
‘Hmm… For me to get around, 『The Cursed Throne』 Is perfect, but…’
‘But, ‘Guardian of the Dungeon’ is a game chosen by the ‘Game Master’ himself, right? Plus, it has the advantage that if you die, you can start over a month later.’
Since each has its own strengths, Seong-il begins to think very hard about the game he will play.
‘Eight!! Even if you die, let’s play 『Dungeon Guardian』 With relatively low risk! I’m sure it will work somehow!!’
Thinking so, Seong-il chose 『Guardian of the Dungeon』, And he moved into the game world feeling the intense light he was used to.
“Whoa… Have you arrived?”
Seong-il looks around nervously. He realizes that he is standing in a dark cave-like place.
‘Um… Is this the starting point?’
Wasn’t he standing at the place where he was probably pioneering a dungeon for the first time? I think.
‘I remember when I first started, all I had to do was pray to the god of the moon…’
Seong-il looking around like that. He checks every nook and cranny of his surroundings to find the statue.
However, brightly shining stones illuminate the surroundings, but the statue is not visible. Because of this, he gives up on finding out his identity and checks his condition first.

※ Overall Review: Good job!
‘Um… Is this just an NPC start like the start of other games?’
The status window of an ambiguous holy day. He tilts his head and starts wandering around the cave in search of the temple of the moon god once again.
『Come here…』
“!!”
A strange voice in one’s own ears. Seong-il is frightened by the appearance of that strange voice, which is neither male nor female.
‘…Fuck, what else?!’
Seong-il, who has been through a lot of bizarre things lately, is startled by this situation. He begins to whisper in a softer tone to him.
『Fear not… My warrior, use your sensitive senses, and you will see the moonlight…』
‘…!!’
Perhaps the owner of a voice that seems to be talking about his 『Emotion』. Seong-il was a bit hesitant, but he thought it was something he had to go through anyway, so he calmly tried using 『Emotion』.
“Oh…”
As I spread 『Emotion』 Around me, the soft moonlight appeared on the floor. Seong-il instinctively realizes that the light is calling him.
‘…That’s moonlight.’
Seong-il walks for a long time following the moonlight scattered like powder. Then a shabby temple appeared.
“…Here?”
Rather than a temple, it is a small temple of the god of the moon that is more appropriately described as a shrine. When you open the small door, a space the size of your own studio and a strange statue of a god wearing a hood with cracks here and there appears.
Seong-il felt a strange warmth and solemnity at the old but dignified statue, which made him kneel before he knew it.
『There is nothing to set an example for. Now I’m going to sleep for a while, so please take care of the next job.”
‘Did something like this happen…?’
Come to think of it, he had a habit of skipping game intros, so he didn’t know such a scene existed in the beginning. Because of this, he begins to have a little self-reflection.
‘…I don’t know what will happen next, so I have to watch the intro.’
While thinking so, the stone statue’s light subsided, and then, along with the light, a map of the labyrinth and marbles in the statue’s hand felt something written on it.
『Offer the souls of the green-skinned race with small shrill voices as sacrifices, and offer ten souls to me. If you offer enough sacrifices, I will make you my servant.”
‘Oh… I understand from here!!’
The game content of “Dungeon Guardian” With a very simple goal. Seong-il has already cleared the game once, so he understands the contents of the cryptic text at once.
‘It’s just a slick word, you’re telling me to take the orb and hunt ten goblins near the temple to steal their souls.’
Thinking so, he takes out the cursed sword after a long time and starts wearing it around his waist.
『Oh clothes! Hey, long time no see?』
“Oh, long time no see.”
“At las! Is it time for this body to be active?!”
“…Well, you can say that.”
『Ohhhhh!! Heung!!』
‘…What.’
A cursed sword that was very happy or made a strange humming sound. Seong-il smiled bitterly at his appearance and started to trudge around the cave near the temple.
“But what are you looking for?”
“Goblin.”
“…You’re just looking for someone like that?”
“What can I do? The moon god requested it as a sacrifice.”
“Huh? Did you believe in such a god?”
“Um… That’s long, so to speak.”
Seong-il looked at the cursed sword in puzzlement and began to think.
‘…Do you mind if I talk to this guy about the game world?’
Normally, Sung-il would never tell his teammates about it until he cleared the game.
However, since the cursed sword has already moved around the world of martial arts once, and there is a high possibility that he will travel around another world with him in the future, he starts to tell him the truth after worrying about it.
“…That’s how it happened.”
『Hehe!! Crazy!! Oh my god!!”
“…”
『You mean you can roam here and there in other worlds?!』
“…Well, that’s right.”
Seong-il explained the truth by arranging it with the feeling of ‘another world’ instead of a game. Rather than being afraid or surprised by his expression, the cursed sword starts to get excited as if it is very enjoyable.
『Wowaaang!! Also I!! I was destined for a great adventure!!”
‘… Anya?’
Seong-il felt that the sword’s behavior was absurd, but it wasn’t a negative attitude anyway, so he thought it was a good thing and walked along the road.
‘According to the map, it was about here…’
Seong-il was walking down the street listening to the chatter of the cursed sword. At that time, he was contemplating whether to throw the sword into his inventory or not. Some unique beings began to be captured in his 『Emotion』.
‘Oh…!!’
“Why?”
‘They’re goblins.’
“Huh…?”
Since there was nothing around, Seong-il suddenly uttered a goblin ring, and the sword was puzzled. However, after a while, just as Seongil said, three or four goblins gathered together to dig something.
“Oh oh…! Are you really there?”
“Then…”
After quietly answering the sword’s question, Seong-il calmly takes out his sword and approaches them.
‘…Is it a mushroom?’
The appearance of a goblin, probably gathering mushrooms. Seong-il sneaks up to them as close as possible and prepares a surprise attack.
Rustle!
“…Kyaa?”
However, walking on an unfamiliar road, I stepped on a small stone. Hearing that, the goblins immediately stopped digging for mushrooms and raised their crude clubs on the ground to examine their surroundings.
“Okay… Do I have to wait a while…”
Seong-il was supposed to wait until the vigilant goblins let go. However, the sword begins to rebuke him for that.
“What an idiot you are talking about, you bastard. It’s a goblin at best. Are you a warrior?』
“…”
『Fuck you at least try, but just pick up a knife and stab him!!』
“What…”
Seong-il opens his mouth and says a word without realizing it.
“Keek?!”
And the goblins turned their eyes like ghosts in the direction of Seongil who opened his mouth like that. Seongil sighed at the sight and calmly grabbed his sword and started charging at the goblins.
“Hey you bastard… Because of you…!!”
『Geel. At best, you’re timid to launch a surprise attack on the goblins.”
“Chi… Shut up!”
After muttering that, Seong-il started to swing his sword without hesitation at the goblin in front of him.
“Kehe!!”
A goblin who naturally blocked the sword with a crude club in response to such a holy day’s sword attack.
“Chuck!”
“Kekek!!”
However, the goblin’s torso was slashed with a black stick, and the goblin that was struck by that blow was immediately killed by a huge amount of blood.
“…Isn’t that a big deal?”
“Obviously. I’m a fairly high-grade magic sword! Can the sword blade of this body be blocked with a club like that?”
In an instant, Seong-il realized the difference between the goblins and himself. Because of that, he looks at the other three with a very confident expression.
However, despite his terrifying spirit, they shout ferociously and bravely charge at him.
“Hmm… This is the first time I’ve actually fought with a sword, so shall we play with it?”
Seong-il, who realized the difference in level with the enemy with just one sum, unfolds the Taegeuk sword fight against the goblins with a relaxed mind.
And at best, goblins the size of elementary school students swung their clubs at him furiously from all sides, but Seong-il, who perfectly grasped even the blind spots with 『Emotion』, Easily avoided their attacks by moving his body without hesitation.
“Squeak!”
And Seong-il, who deliberately plays with them, does not inflict fatal injuries, but slowly inflicts scratches on them.
“Kyaa… Kyaaa!!”
After a while, the goblins’ bodies are overflowing with small sword scars, and they instinctively realize that Seong-il is playing with them.
“Kei…!!”
After watching each other’s expressions, the goblins turn around and try to escape in all directions.
“…Isn’t that right?”
From the first mission, it would be a headache if he failed in mischief, so Seong-il started to kill the goblins with all his heart, and soon after, all of them died without leaving a single one.
“Hmm… They won’t even be training partners.”
『Crazy bastard… What kind of practice are you going to do against these sloppy things?』
“Is it…”
『Don’t talk nonsense and do the ‘mission’ that God gave you properly.』
“Huh.”
Seong-il brought the marbles to the goblins he caught, and the marbles turned red and began to suck strange energy from the goblins.
“Hmm… Is this okay?”
In that way, Seong-il moves around and completes the assigned task. However, the bead only sucked the soul, and there was no reaction.
“What is it…? In the original work, it was completed as soon as I killed 10 goblins, but is there anything I don’t know?”
Unlike games played from the perspective of an omniscient god, Seong-il was ignorant of the detailed ‘process’ of clearing a quest because he was now a kind of minion. He shrugs his shoulders and moves back to the temple.
‘I don’t know. I have to go to the temple first.’
So Seong-il returns to the temple where the quest started. Then he puts the marble back on the stone statue in the middle of his temple. The bead glows brightly and texts begin to appear.
『The condition has been met.』
A bright light began to emanate from the beads of the stone statue as he said that, and the light pierced the ceiling and began to spread softly in all directions.
“Oh…! That’s it!”
“Huh? What happened?』
“Oh, this is a lighthouse.”
“…Lighthouse?”
“Based on this light, believers are now flocking. Perhaps…”
“If it comes, it will come, maybe what?”
“Ah, that’s… Kuhmm…”
Seong-il is also not sure because he is just talking about his experience based on the game he has played.
At that time.
“Ah…! You’re the new Great Warrior.”
“Huh?”
At the moment Seong-il is chatting with the sword at the entrance of the temple, he hears someone talking to him from the direction of the marble.
Seong-il, puzzled by the sound, looked at the marble, and there was a goblin with a gentle expression standing in front of the marble, talking to Seong-il.
