Episode 2 Lucky Day (2)
―The Aesir system is down.
―The status window could not be called up.
“It really doesn’t work.”
I’ve already tried the same several times, but the result is the same.
‘The status window does not open.’
―There are some corrupt files.
―Attempts to restore the program in safe mode.
As the program rebooted, the system sound resonated in my head.
‘Damn it…… What the hell is going on?’
Jaehyun couldn’t hide his embarrassment.
In the 17 years since I became an Awakener when I was 10 years old, the system has never been down.
Of course, I never did a reboot or anything to restore the system.
‘The voice I heard…… It’s likely to be related to the system down.’
It was a reasonable conclusion.
Apparently, the system said that an ‘unknown anomaly’ had infiltrated the system.
‘But why?’
As of now, nothing can be certain.
Invasion of ‘unknown anomaly’ and system down. A message from a mysterious voice to follow the light.
Jaehyun tried hard to stay calm and watched the white light ahead of him.
‘I’ve never read anywhere on the Awoken bulletin board that the system is down. If that’s the case… maybe something is changing in the Aesir system.’
The Æsir system was a kind of biological system based on mythology.
A term referring to the Asgardian gods, including Odin and Thor. This system, presumably derived from the Æsir, was humanity’s last hope and bulwark at the edge of despair.
2011, which was called the year of disaster, 20 years ago.
In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, a huge tree of unknown height grew.
A tree that sprouted overnight and grew to cover the sky in just nine days.
The real name of this tree, which some call the sign of the earth’s destruction, is Yggdrasil. It was a world tree that appeared in mythology.
And just like on the ninth day when the tree had fully grown.
The tragedy has begun.
A disaster of unprecedented scale, called ‘monster’, has spread all over the world.
All kinds of monsters including giants and dragons appearing in mythology. It didn’t take long to realize that all of that was real.
Half of humanity perished, and half there died from famine and pestilence.
Monsters produced more corpses than any plague war.
Humanity desperately resisted, but the monsters were too strong. All products of science, including firearms, were reduced to ashes, and most of the national army was destroyed by monsters.
At this time.
A small hope has been born in humanity, which has fallen into the abyss of despair.
That is when mankind with divine powers, called ‘Awakeners’, appeared.
Awakeners are the power of God.
In other words, based on the ‘Esir system’, they began to defeat monsters.
Awakener. And among them, these raiders who hunt monsters. The most powerful weapon they wield, the heroes of mankind.
A system that is unknown when and where it was created and who invented it.
That was Aesir.
however.
‘What if changes are taking place in the Aesir system? It’s hard to think positively either way.’
When Jaehyun was organizing his thoughts.
widely!
Jaehyun’s feet, which were busy walking, suddenly stopped. This is because the light that had been floating in the air stayed in one place and caught the eye.
Jaehyun lifted his head and looked straight ahead. And soon it became a shocking look.
“A huge…… door?”
In front of his eyes, a huge rusted iron gate was holding on.
exudes an unknown sense of intimidation.
A door engraved with an unknown old mural.
“This… can’t it?!”
The corners of Jaehyun’s lips rose, and soon a smile began to spread.
“It’s Treasure Gate!”
* * *
Treasure Gate.
A room with a hidden treasure that appears with a very low probability in higher dungeons. This is usually where a special item or an item that is an ingredient that becomes a good medicine is hidden.
‘They said Treasure Gate’s items exceeded at least 100 million. maybe?’
Jaehyun put his hand on the door with a face wet with joy and took a deep breath.
‘If only items of grade A or higher are brought out here… I can give up this disgusting life right now!’
In general, the price of A-class equipment items easily exceeds 1 billion. Enough money to find a suitable rental house in Korea and live the rest of your life comfortably.
“Please… if there is a God. Please make the A-class or higher equipment come out…….”
Jaehyun’s hand on the rusty door got stronger and the door started to open.
Quieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
of of the inside of the treasure gate began to see through the half-open door.
Jaehyun cautiously stepped inside the gate.
“To think there was a space like this in the dungeon… It wasn’t an urban legend that was being talked about on TV.”
Flames illuminate the walls and mysterious altars that cannot be identified.
The altar was swaying in the form of a small orb emitting brilliant light.
“I guess that’s an item.”
The corner of Jaehyun’s mouth went up without mercy.
“then. Shall we check how great the item is hidden?”
Jaehyun went to the altar without hesitation.
Wei Ying …….
The sound of a motor from the rotating sphere with transparent light has been heard. Jaehyun took a deep breath and reached for the sphere.
Finally, the moment Jaehyun’s hand dug into the sphere, a refreshing message rang out.
―Some functions of the system have been restored.
―You have acquired a new equipment item.
―Do you want to check the acquired item information?
“Just in time, things are going smoothly.”
Even the system was restored in appropriate circumstances. Did I say that good things come at once?
With excitement, Jaehyun started checking the status window that popped up.
at that time.
“……uh?!”
While reading the description of the item, Jaehyun’s pupils constricted. Soon, his expression was stained with bewilderment.
Jaehyun rubbed his eyes and stared blankly at the status window floating in the air again.

Blank Cards Owned: 1
The only mythical item in the world.
An item that he dared not even put a price on was right into Jaehyun’s hands.
Jaehyun shook his head in shock.
“……is it true?”
I looked at it again and again and it was still the same explanation.
―Grade: Shinhwa
‘The item that has been auctioned so far has the highest grade is S grade. As soon as it was registered at the auction house, it easily passed tens of billions of won. Especially in the case of magic-related items, calling them is worth it…
What? A mythical item?! Is that the only one in the world?’
“Ha… ha ha…”
A laugh escaped from Jaehyun’s mouth.
“You don’t have to go through that kind of hardship anymore. You won’t be ignored by other guilds, and you won’t become a meat shield in a dungeon!
You can have anything you want to eat or have!”
Jaehyun, immersed in joy, smiled broadly while watching 《Odin’s Lost Eye》.
Spring has finally arrived for you too.
Jaehyun tried to calm his pounding heart and put the item in his inventory.
Then, all of a sudden, I had a thought.
“Would you like to try wearing the seaweed you’ve already acquired? ……okay. When will I wear a mythical item?”
It is natural for Raiders to want high-grade items.
Items of a higher grade become the pride of the raider and guarantee their lives in the dungeon.
Jaehyun made up his mind and manipulated the status window to equip the item.
at that time.
-caution! 《Odin’s Lost Eye》 item is bound when equipped. Would you like to install it?
“Oh no! Cancel right away! right now!”
Jaehyun, who was fascinated by the word “mythical level item” and didn’t read the precautions, wiped away his surprised heart.
“Phew…… I almost ate the mythical item I got.”
Jaehyun put 《Odin’s Lost Eye》 back into his inventory and wiped away his cold sweat.
“There is no reason for me to equip this. It would have exceeded hundreds of billions just by selling it.”
It is a mythical item. Is there any reason to install it?
Jaehyun has been living as a radar for the past 7 years and has faced countless enemies. There were many times when I was gripped with fear, and there were many times when I almost died.
Radar was an inevitable choice for him, but he did not continue to do this because he had attachment.
Because of this, Jaehyun never planned to wear Odin’s Lost Eye.
‘A spacious house, a foreign car… Now I can do anything I want to do!’
Jaehyun left Treasure Gate with a very light heart.
It was time to go back.
* * *
“Ha, Min Jae-hyun, where the hell did you go? After a while, we have to start attacking again.”
“Maybe he will come soon. It looks like he went to the bathroom for a while.”
Lee Myeong-ho desperately looked around.
“Ha… this is true.”
Park Chan-hyeok, head of the engineering team, looked nervously at the specially treated wristwatch.
Even if it is not, the guild budget is insufficient and the number of people is insufficient, but if even one member is missing, the power loss is not small.
Furthermore, those who stand in the rear are mages who are vulnerable to melee attacks.
Even if the monsters narrowed the distance even a little, the camp would collapse in confusion.
“Wait a little longer… Ah! There he comes. Jaehyun! Hurry. We will start attacking soon.”
“Forgive me for being late.”
Jaehyun shook his head with an embarrassed face. Park Chan-hyuk sighed and remonstrated.
“It’s embarrassing when you act like this. I hope this doesn’t happen next time.”
“yes. I will be careful.”
Jaehyun once again apologized.
Fortunately, Park Chan-hyuk also left without saying anything more.
“This is Jaehyun. Don’t be too upset… Huh?”
“Haha no. older brother. I’m fine. And I will buy soju for dinner. You can’t just get and eat every day.”
“uh? Uh…….”
Myeongho Lee tilted his head at Jaehyun’s reaction, which was completely different from what he expected.
‘Did I finally go crazy at the age of 27?’
Jaehyun, holding a shield tightly in one hand and aligning ranks, had a somewhat bright expression.
‘after…… Did it pass for now?’
Jaehyun did not mention Treasure Gate at all.
This is inside a dungeon.
It is a lawless zone where no matter what happens, there is no law known to the outside world.
Saying that you got a good item here means that you will die soon, and Jaehyun wasn’t an idiot.
‘It’s not too late to sell items after completing the dungeon raid as planned.
It’s more important than ever to not arouse unnecessary suspicion.’
Lee Myeong-ho shook his head as if he couldn’t understand the meaning, then picked up his shield and lined up in line.
The raid commander looked at the re-adjusted battle line to make sure there were no cracks, then shouted.
“Okay then, now that the battle line has been re-equipped, let’s start attacking again……”
Kwak-kwak!
It was the next moment when an intense explosion tore my ears apart.
