Episode 232. Karma (1)
[You have entered the dungeon ‘CODE-009’.]
Rayman Shen’s hideout.
The first impression was not unfamiliar.
So much so that even non-players can recognize it.
The concept was clear.
‘It’s just a lab, right?’
Considering that the rift is a space where reality and the Arcana continent are mixed in half… Does this mean that there was a laboratory like this underground in the desert? If you really have a lot of money, nothing is impossible in the world.
‘see.’
First of all, there are CCTVs all over the place.
Smartphones are also functioning properly inside the cracks. The CCTV must be properly showing me, and Raymon Shen must be hiding somewhere and watching me.
‘Actually, it’s like a feeling…’
I wanted to do something right away from CCTV.
Didn’t I proudly declare that?
I didn’t respond to the invitation, I came to dispose of it.
Even if it’s not enough.
A situation in which the conditions were satisfied with counter-threatening and entered the crack.
‘That’s embarrassing.’
But the pride of Grandfel.
I couldn’t tolerate Lee Ho-yeol’s petit bourgeois way of thinking.
Pass the CCTV indifferently.
“Looking at it doesn’t change anything.”
Still, wouldn’t it be a little different, Grand Fell?
How did you stay in that sensibility at that time!
A moment of pleading, as expected, a familiar sight greeted me.
‘No matter how you look at it, that’s an elevator.’
Kindly, a message popped up in front of my eyes.
[B1-Lobby]
[B2-Lab]
[B3-Lab]
[B4-In-Depth Lab]
[B5-In-Depth Lab]
[B6-Control Room]…
Labs are labs.
It’s definitely Rayman Shen’s hideout.
It means like a college student.
Yet, at the same time, I am in doubt.
‘What the hell was the experiment and research on?’
Fortunately, my curiosity did not last long.
actions rather than words.
Because it was something I had to check myself.
“Is it caring?”
The elevator was also considerate.
I should have admired the delicacy for visitors.
Again, the problem was the other side.
I’m sure you didn’t spit it out.
Raymon Shen said that he would refuse all of his hospitality.
“Then I will refuse again.”
Quadruped!
Magic manifestation without hesitation.
A landscape that changes in an instant.
It reminds me of the stairs leading to the basement under my feet.
The effect of [The Pentacle of Pure Knowledge].
With all the knowledge of the mineral, the search process is skipped.
This time, the interference process was also extremely familiar, so it was possible to express it quickly.
‘I should have used it a lot, even the stairs.’
The past that comes to mind vividly.
Why wasn’t I the only one who was plausible on the outside?
In order to get as much experience as possible, I needed kill contribution.
I learned a lot of kill contribution with the stairs.
‘Thanks to Harkon, I had a good time.’
Also, there is nothing wrong with the old saying.
Suffering must be done while young.
I never thought the nauseousness at that time would help in this way.
Stairs that rise while altering the structure of the dungeon at will.
‘Now I’m used to the dizzying scenery.’
The scenery below my feet was far away.
It was nothing compared to the magic tower.
Do you still feel your hamstrings tingle when you come down from the top floor of the Mage Tower?
‘Anyway, I didn’t expect something like that to happen.’
Just like the message that came to mind.
The place I reached was the [B1-Lobby].
I thought it would be a bleak landscape because it was a hideout.
It was unexpected.
I saw an employee guarding the lobby.
“Player Hoyeol Lee has been waiting for you.”
There is no sign of surprise when he sees me coming down the stairs.
No, it’s not worth it.
Anyway, I delivered the business right away.
“I want to meet Raymon Shen.”
Surprisingly, the answer came back immediately.
“Even otherwise, he is on his way to the lobby.”
Come out to meet me on my own feet.
Saved me the trouble of finding it.
Then, while waiting, let’s run a simulation in our heads.
What is certain is that I need to mix things up with Raymon Shen.
‘Though it’s all just excuses.’
You’ll be able to get information from that excuse as well.
‘Perhaps even the information to return to Arcana.’
Of course, don’t expect them to spit out information without hesitation.
You can tell ten by looking at one.
You can tell from the way they were playing around from the crack entrance, right?
Ding─
The elevator arrived soon after.
I stared at the slowly opening door.
Let’s stay positive though.
Let’s have a constructive conversation with you Rayman Shen.
Of course, as far as Grandfell’s patience allows.
*
Time passing.
Seong Hyun-jun carefully opens his mouth.
“…But can I ask you one more question?”
The two men, Park Min-jae and Yoon Su-gyeom, nodded.
“I’ve never seen the real thing, but… Does Raymon Shen look the same as the picture in real life? Should I be surprised just thinking about that image?”
“So you’re saying it doesn’t suit you?”
“Oh yes.”
“Yeah, it’s a pace that’s too normal compared to what you’re doing.”
Worst criminal in human history.
At the same time, the only person who knows the truth of the cataclysm.
For that matter, Raymond Shen was overly impressed.
Park Min-jae shed a rotten smile.
“It is common in society to be someone who is different from the outside. Of course I don’t think that’s wrong. Proper intimidation and acting are necessary in order not to hurt each other in a harsh society. but.”
Park Min-jae stuck out his tongue.
“The kid is not on that level.”
Park Min-jae was confident that he had seen a group of people who were stubbornly rolling around in society, but Rayman Sean was an existence that even he could not explain in words.
“It’s not that the words don’t work, it’s the feeling that the words don’t mix, right? I’m sure we’re having conversations on the same subject. There was something unpleasantly foreign about it.”
…wait for a sec.
I didn’t know why at the time.
Now that I think about it, I think I know.
Park Min-jae is awesome! and hit his knee.
“okay! He didn’t feel like a human!”

Degurur—
Raymon Shen’s head tumbled on the floor.
…No, that would be misleading.
Please kindly add a detailed explanation.
transformation magic.
The mannequin’s head, covered with polymorph, tumbled on the floor.
It was a possibility that I had guessed the moment I witnessed Robbie.
Why did I notice it when I saw the employee who greeted me?
that it is fake.
The pagoda owner had a big influence on how I was able to see through this modification.
‘There are days when that cat is helpful.’
I fully understand magic that I have witnessed even once.
How did Grandfell’s genius talent go beyond just appreciating the Tower Master’s transformation magic? expression of exploratory interference. The structure was also perfectly grasped, so it was not difficult to see through.
‘Even if it wasn’t really like that.’
I could feel it just by looking at the reaction of the staff.
Destroying the ceiling wasn’t enough, so does it make sense to leave the elevator in good shape and not be astonished at the sight of a human descending the stairs manifesting magic?
why is it still the same
The head of self-proclaimed Lei Men Shen rolled on the floor.
There was no sign of surprise from the staff.
What that means is simple.
That, too, is a fake covered in polymorph, like Rayman Sean.
I muttered.
“However, that is not a reason for not being proud.”
Grandfell’s theory of pride is much more complex than it seems.
Even in green tea tea bags, it is a Grand Fel that considers the presence or absence of pride. Just because it’s a doll and it’s fake doesn’t mean it’s not to be ignored because it doesn’t have pride.
Invective words that are spat out in silence.
“It’s just that I didn’t learn from you.”
To put it simply, it means that home education was done wrong. Raymon Shen.
Rather, if you thought you could fool me with something like this, you’d be wrong.
I don’t know where they were hiding and putting up fakes.
where is that one
You just have to find it slowly from now on.
Just like raiding a real dungeon.
Quaddudeuk—
isn’t it annoying?
No, rather the sea I wished for.
I just wanted to see it with my own eyes.
called cataclysm.
Reality and Arcana Continent.
After committing something unforgivable in both worlds.
What were you doing when you were stuck in a place like this?
Because I felt like I had to check it with my own two eyes to clear my intuition.
Again –
the stairs going down.
changing vision.
emerging message.
[You have entered the B2-lab.]
At the same time, a loud beep sounded.
So, maybe it was called a dungeon crack for nothing.
Since monsters appeared, it must have been a crack in the dungeon.
[Prototype model E-89: Lv.1000]
. Even normal monsters are at level 1,000, so they are the highest level of monsters I’ve ever encountered.
Hundreds of such mannequins.
‘If it was like the old days, I would have been scared.’
However, experiences do not disappear, but accumulate.
Now that you know that levels aren’t everything.
I was able to objectively grasp the opponent’s strength.
‘I can deal with it with only magic.’
If you think of a hideout as if it were your main room, you are mistaken.
underground.
Minerals can be explored extensively by me too.
This ground is like a home ground.
prototype.
The mechanical dolls that were made to fit the name creaked and approached.
As long as the [Blessing of the First World Tree] exists.
I don’t care about the efficiency of magical power.
Magical power swaying in the body.
“Is it a group welcome now?”
Awesome—!
Then, mannequins collapsed everywhere.
Are they made in real life?
It doesn’t matter if it was made on the Arcana continent.
After all, minerals are the key.
“But this also.”
Again—
I manifested magic as I walked down the stairs at an unchanging speed.
In the order in which they ran into me.
Prototypes are crumbling.
“Don’t refuse.”
dump!
Kneeling as if to worship my comings and goings.
Of course, I don’t think this is the end.
What level am I in the first place?
Doesn’t the person who has been running Arcana know it well?
At least like monsters.
You should have known that you couldn’t stop me.
As if answering my question, a message appeared before my eyes.
[Quest: Choose a route]
Intruder!
in order to move forward.
Choose one of the two crossroads.
─B401-In-depth laboratory (optional)
─B402-In-depth laboratory (optional)
Isn’t the modifier “depth” added for nothing?
The lower you go, the more complex the structure.
Anyway, I’m going to take a quest.
‘It’s the way it suits me.’
As of now, Arcana’s sole operator.
Raymon Shen’s greatest weapon must be the system.
Maybe Raymon Shen and the player have a supernatural relationship. The days when Arcana was just a game. Just like the player was stuck with the operator.
But, ironically, that is.
I am one of those players too.
There was a saying that I had been living with in my mouth for a long time.
Levels and stats are just numbers.
Even if I don’t know, Granfel has always been a system agnostic from the beginning. Even if Raymon Shen is pushing the system, the answer is always the same.
“Did you think that if numbers became letters, something would change?”
Of course, the poisonous remarks pouring out were the same.
“You are really foolish.”
This made it clear.
Probably Raymond Sean.
You and I don’t think we can talk amicably. No matter what the circumstances were, I think we should have a conversation after feeding them a room.
Of course, I don’t choose any options.
“The road is to carve for yourself.”
Rather, I looked at their hand.
I should also show a ‘reliable corner’ for my hand.
I reached for my inventory.
What he took out was the [Hell’s Torch].
I still don’t know what Rayman Shen intended to cause the cataclysm. Therefore, there was no choice but to dispose of it only for certain crimes. Because that was the complex and heavy pride of Grandfel.
So, I hope you don’t think about running away.
“Isn’t it?”
As if answering my question.
Torch of hell burning wildly.
I spoke.
“From now on, this is a battlefield for you.”

that made it a spectacle.
An outstanding career newcomer is coming out.
“Shagwin.”
[Sword Saint Shagwin responds to your call.]
