-Yeon-jeung: Dokgo guild.

-Yeon-jeung: They might still be looking for you.

-Yeon-jeung: No, they are surely looking for you.

One after another, a whisper came from Yeon-jeung.

Knowing that he should be careful, Soo-hyuk nodded and responded.

-Soo-hyuk: All right.

-Yeon-jeung: Be careful and look out for yourself.

-Soo-hyuk: Yes.

Soo-hyuk ended his whisper with Yeon-jeung.

“I’m buying gold. 12,000 won per 100 gold!!! I buy at a good price!”

“I’m buying 10,000 gold for 1.1 million won. Contact me if you want to trade!”

“I’m looking for a dagger for a level 200 Rogue.”

Soo-hyuk arrived at the auction house shortly after the chat was over.

Arriving at the auction house, Soo-hyuk looked to the left where real-time auctions were taking place.

Mumble Mumble

Numerous people were going to participate in the auction.

‘How many will it be in two days?’

How many people would be crowding here on Wednesday and for the two days of ’s’ auction?

Suok

Soo-hyuk looked to the left and went to the right.

was a real-time auction.

However, the reason Soo-hyuk went to the right instead of left was because of the reservation system.

The reservation system was available through the auction window.

Soo-hyuk arrived in front of the NPC at the auction house and opened the auction window.

And then using the reservation system he put up for auction and started setting details.

‘Wednesday, 8 pm, 72 hours.’

After setting the reservation time and auction duration, Soo-hyuk clicked [OK].

[Cancellation is not possible after 1 hour before the auction starts.]

When he clicked [OK], a message appeared as was registered.

‘Done.’

Soo-hyuk, who put up using the reservation system, closed the auction window. Then, after checking the time, he got out of the auction house.

‘I should have dinner before going to the library.’

It was soon time for dinner.

After logging out of the library, Soo-hyuk decided to eat dinner and headed to the library.

Soo-hyuk, who soon arrived at the library, logged out.

Soo-hyuk exitted the capsule, left the room, and headed to the kitchen.

‘What should I eat today?’

Soo-hyuk opened the refrigerator thinking what to cook and eat.

But inside the refrigerator was empty.

‘Maybe I should go to the grocery store… …’

He thought he needed to go shopping.

‘But, let’s have Ramyung tonight.’

Of course, he didn’t intend to go shopping right now.

Soo-hyuk, who decided to eat Ramyung instead, opened the cupboard and took out a pack of instant Ramyung.

Soo-hyuk, who finished his Ramyung, returned to his room.

Havnig returned to his room, Soo-hyuk checked his cell phone.

There was a text message from his father, Kang Ji-sung.

“Tomorrow evening… …”

The text was from his father reminding about a dinner appointment.

Soo-hyuk checked the calendar.

“It’s already that day.”

After checking the calendar, Soo-hyuk replied that he didn’t forget, put his phone down, and headed to the capsule.

11th Heaven.

Temple of Margatine.

There were two people, a man and a woman, on a hill 200 meters from the temple.

“Yoon-jin is coming soon.”

“The exact time?”

“10 minutes.”

The identity of the two were the Hunting King and his companion Leah.

“Let’s start buffing immediately when he get’s here and leave.”, said the Hunting King.

“Hhm.”

Leah answered the Hunting King’s words. Then he said.

“Oh right. Yoon-jin had something to tell you.”

“What?”

“Yes, he’ll tell you directly when he comes?” Like that ten minutes passed while they talked.

“I’m here!”

After 10 minutes, Yoon-jin arrived.

“Start buffing.”, Hunting King told Leah, when Yoon-jin arrived.

Leah started casting buffs on the Hunting King and his horse. While glancing at the buff notifications the Hunting King asked Yoon-jin.

“You said you have something to tell me?”

“Yes!”

Yoon Jin smiled responding to the Hunting King’s question.

“While waiting for the penalty to end, I looked through some blogs.”

Yesterday Yoon-jin was killed at the temple of Margatine. Due to the death penalty he wasn’t able to log in for 24 hours, and looked at the official website while waiting for the penalty to end.

“Another article was posted.”

“?”

“The exact auction time was released.”

“…?”

At Yunjin’s words, a surprise appeared in the expression of the Hunting King.

“Stop buffing, when is it?”

The Hunting King spoke to Leah and immediately asked Yoon-jin.

“Wednesday 8 pm, the auction will run for 72 hours.”

Yoon-jin answered. Then he asked straight away.

“What are you going to do? Are you really going to participate?”

“Of course I should buy it.”

The Hunting King answered Yoon-jin’s question without any trouble.

Currently, the Hunting King had a total of 3 legendary items, consisting of an armor, a pair of boots, and a ring.

Among them was the armor and the boots .

“If you get it, you can receive the set effect.”

It was also because of the set effect that the Hunting King wanted .

When he could equip 3 pieces of of Yarion’s set, the set effect would activate.

He was the Hunting King and already in possession of and .

With , he could receive the set effect.

“If I could get that set effect, this would be easier.”

The Hunting King looked at the temple with an expression full of irritation.

The temple of the fallen Elyos god Margatine, they’ve tried five times but failed five times.

With , he could get the set effect and advance in the Temple of Margatine.

“And it will be of great help to the end.”

It wasn’t just the temple of Margatine. It would be very helpful in ‘Pangea’s’ late game.

“But from the reaction, it seemed that other chaebols would also participate?”

Yoon Jin said at the words of the Hunting King.

“Hmm, even if they participate….” At Yoon Jin’s words, the Hunting King laughed.

“You’re looking at the third son of the Emperor Group.”

“I’ll go out for a while. I’ll be back in 10 minutes.”

The Hunting King said to Leah and Yoon Jin. Then he immediately logged out.

After logging out, Jae-yong Oh, who exitted capsule, came out of the room.

Jae-yong Oh, who came out of the room, cried out looking at the first floor leaning against the railing.

“Butler Yoon!”

After a while, someone appeared on the first floor at Oh Jae-yong’s cry.

“Yes, sir.”

It was Yun Myung-seok, the head butler of the mansion.

“I have something to tell you. Please come to the room.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Yoon Myeong-seok started climbing the stairs at Oh Jae-yong’s words.

Oh Jae-yong went back into the room when he saw Yoon Myeong-seok coming up.

And not long after entering the room, Yun Myeong-seok also came in.

“How far is the progress on the thing I asked you to do?”

When Yoon Myeong-seok came in, Oh Jae-yong asked.

“Are you talking about purchasing Gold in Pangea?”

Yoon Myeong-seok asked Oh Jae-yong’s question.

“Yeah.”

“We have completed the purchase of 20 million gold.”

Yoon Myung-seok answered. In response to Yoon Myeong-seok’s answer, Oh Jae-yong thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“Please purchase an additional 20 million gold. You have time until Friday.”

“Understood.”

At Oh Jae-yong’s words, Yun Myeong-seok nodded. Then he said.

“And the second young master asked for you to call him back.”

“Jaeseok Hyung?”

“Yes.”

“Okay.”

That’s how the conversation ended and Yoon Myeong-seok went out. When Yoon Myung-seok left, Oh Jae-yong picked up his mobile phone and called his second brother, Oh Jae-seok.

– Hello.

“You said you asked for a call?”

-Oh, yes. Jae-yong.

-Just one request.

At Oh Jae-seok’s words, Oh Jae-yong frowned.

“Is this a request related to succession fights?”

Jae-yong Oh’s only interest was games.

Specifically, he was interested virtual reality games with an still unexplored world.

Seeing the end of a world, Oh Jae-yong felt a tremendous catharsis.

So Jae-yong Oh gave up the succession of the Emperor Group.

If he won the succession fight and become the successor, he could be carried in the game.

But that way he would feel any thrill.

In addition, if he didn’t succeed the group, there was his two older brothers who wanted the successor position.

Therefore, he was able to give up his successor position even more neatly.

Of course, he gave up his successor position, not his strength.

Oh Jae-yong, the eldest son of the Emperor Group, and Oh Jae-yong; though he didn’t have as much power as the second son, Oh Jae-yong could still threaten the two.

Because of his power, he often received calls from Oh Jae-yoon or Oh Jae-seok, asking for his help.

“I will say it again, but I have no intention of accepting a request related to the succession.”

-Hey, it’s not like that.

Oh Jae-seok said.

-I was talking with hyung.

Following Oh Jae-seok’s words, it was understood that Oh Jae-yong was not a request related to the successor.

“… … What?”

-Do you know an item called ?

“!”

Oh Jae-yong had no choice but to be surprised. It was because a word came out that I didn’t expect.

“How do you know about that?”

Oh Jae-seok was busy in the fight for succession. How did Oh Jae-seok, who didn’t even play a game like Pangea at all, know ?

-Are you not watching the news lately? It’s been a hot topic. Didn’t it even reach overseas?

-I didn’t know that the game was such a crazy topic.

-Jaeyoon said that if we use it well, it will be very helpful in promoting our group.

-So this time, we decided to create a department to function as a group in there.

“Department? What kind of department?”

-The official name hasn’t been decided yet, and for now we call it the Pangea Department.

Oh Jae-yong tilted his head.

“What is the department for?”

The Pangea department? He wasn’t sure what the department was aiming at.

-You can think of it as a guild. I’m thinking of promoting the group while taking videos of various local explorations and wars.

-We are currently recruiting famous rankers.

“Ah… … . But why are you telling me that? What do you want to ask for?”

Asked Oh Jae-yong, knowing that he didn’t tell all that for no reason.

Oh Jae-seok obviously called to ask for a request.

What was he trying to do?

-You said you’re a little high in Pangea. Oh Jae-seok answered Oh Jae-yong’s question.

-Take charge of the guild.

————————————————————–

Tiri-ri-ring!

The alarm went off.

Soo-hyuk reflexively raised his upper body.

Soo-hyuk got out of bed and glanced at the capsule.

‘It’s today.’

Finally, today’s long journey at the Hard Rock Library was over.

Looking at the capsules, Soo-hyuk left the room and headed to the kitchen.

Then he ate a simple breakfast, took a shower, and returned to the room.

Soo-hyuk, ready to connect to Pangea, went straight to capsule and accessed Pangea.

When he connected, the familiar scenery of the library came into his eyes.

Soo-hyuk walked to the bookshelf.

There were numerous bookshelves, but none of the bookshelves were glowing except for one bookshelf.

Now there was only one bookcase emitting light.

Soo-hyuk, arriving in front of the only bookshelf that emitted light, confirmed the number of books glowing.

’20 books… … .，

There were only 20 books that emitted light.

In other words, reading only 20 books would end his long journey at the Hard Rock Library.

‘I’ll be done with everything in about 3 hours.’

Looking at the thickness, it was unlikely that it would take a long time.

He would be able to read them all in about 3 hours at the latest.

Soo-hyuk picked up five books and went to the desk and began reading.

Time passed quickly.

‘Is this the last?’

It was time to read the last book at the Hard Rock Library.

Soo-hyuk opened the last book.

After a while, it became the last chapter of the book, and Soo-hyuk even read it and closed it.

The moment he closed the book.
