Chapter 113 Dwarves vs. Elves (1)
There are many jobs that exist in Arcadia. Both combat classes and non-combat classes had their own characteristics and strengths, but some of them were divided into popular and shunned jobs.
And among them, the explorer is full of romance, but it was really one of the worst non-mainstream jobs.
“Explorers? Isn’t that trash?”
“The fighting ability is insignificant, and it is useless except for skills such as disarming traps and detecting artifacts.”
“It is a lucky job. To get a big reward or profit, you have to find valuable ruins or artifacts, but how easy is that? It’s no different from a piece of shit that isn’t efficient against time.”
Those who usually jump into Arcadia imagining that they grow and become powerful at the same time, get good items, and become rich with the gold obtained through them. Of course, there were some who simply enjoyed the game itself, doing what they wanted to do as a hobby, but most of them dreamed of making a living through Arcadia.
– What job should I do to make a lot of money?
-If you have money, do it as a merchant. If you invest a few billion and roll it, you say it’s good?
-What a risky job being a damn merchant. If you are picky and get scammed properly or meet a thief and steal all your stuff, you can lose all your investment in an instant.
-Are you trying to make money playing the Shiba game? Actually that’s right. After paying over 10 million won for capsules and 200,000 won per month in usage fees, I couldn’t stop thinking about money.
Except for some economically wealthy people, Arcadia has no choice but to become an extravagant hobby because of its high price. That’s why even those who want to enjoy it naturally have no choice but to be biased towards combat class jobs that can easily earn gold.
That’s why one of the jobs that are avoided is an explorer.
In particular, the path of an explorer in Arcadia, which is unfathomably gigantic, was a rugged thorny road that could not be easily challenged unless one had extensive knowledge of Arcadia and archaeological skills.
However, among the countless users who play Arcadia, there was one unique person who insisted on walking on such a thorny path.
“Heo-euk… heo-euk… I finally found it!”
Azreal playing as an explorer.
In the middle of the Great Desert Shrim, he let out a heavy breath and shouted in a voice full of joy.
In the ultra-high heat desert of death where only sand could be seen beyond the horizon, Azreal finally found it by synthesizing countless documents and stories of various NPCs.
“This is… the entrance to Sand of Forge, the last city of the dwarves!”
A stone artifact standing alone in the middle of the desert. And looking at the unique geometric patterns engraved on the artifact, Azreal shouted with a face full of joy.
“Finally found aaaaaa!”
Although not the first, Azreal found the hidden city that appeared in the video. With a face full of excitement and anticipation, he took a wad of old paper from his pocket, unfolded it, and began slowly to align the arrangements on the stone artifact.
“If you move this as shown here…”
Azreal was arranging the arrangements like putting together a puzzle. And as he put the last piece of stonework together, a strange sound was heard.
Click-
and the earth trembled loudly with him.
Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrating
Shoot aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
A tremendous roar echoed and the sand violently sank to the bottom. After the thick sand had settled, Azreal found that the ground in the middle of the Great Desert split in half, revealing a hidden entrance.
“It’s here! I finally found it! In the city of dwarves, the Sands of Forge…!”
Azreal ran in front of the doorway in a hurry. But before he could get inside, someone jumped out and blocked his way.
“Stop! human! How dare you say where is this place, our hidden passage!”
Dwarves appeared with hammers and weapons in their hands and attacked hostilely. As if they were trying to break his pot right now, Azreal panicked and opened his mouth, but the dwarves were faster.
[Caught in a special capture net.]
[Insufficient basic stats to resist.]
[Caught in abnormal status suppression.]
“Kuuuuu! Free this!”
Azreal is caught in a net that has flown in from somewhere and is instantly subdued. He struggled in the net and shouted at the dwarves, who looked like they were going to break his earthen pot with that vicious hammer at any moment.
“I am not a strange person. Just a simple explorer. Explorer!”
“Why are you looking for our city? And, like before, they’re playing nonsense to steal our things!”
Originally, a sister-in-law who gently puts indirect deals from the side is more X-like than a mother-in-law who craves directly. In the war with the elves in the past, the hostility of the dwarves towards Azreal was bound to be infinitely hostile, as the ill feelings towards the humans who had nothing to eat had not yet been resolved.
“It will definitely reveal our location to other humans. Let’s lock him up deep underground.”
“Yes, I will make sure you never see the sunlight again.”
After deciding to imprison them in the deep dungeons of the Sands of Forge, the members of the Hammer Troopers try to take Azreal with them. Hearing their story, his expression became contemplative.
‘Wait…. Locked in a dungeon…? how much?’
Usually, if you enter a village after committing a crime and are unlucky enough to be caught by a guard, you will go to prison. I heard that there are cases where some special events are hidden, but most of the users do not like it because they have to waste time meaninglessly to pay for their sins
.
However, this is not a normal village or city, but a city of different races called dwarves. That’s why Azreal tried to protest, trembling in fear that he might be bound here indefinitely without a promise. However, one of the dwarves who was untying the net that captured him said with shining eyes.
“uh? Hey Kane.”
“Why is there anything special?”
“This human… take a good look.”
“no….? This?!”
Those who suddenly left the net unwrapped and gathered together and began to talk with each other with serious expressions. I couldn’t hear what it was, but one of them, who seemed to be having a disagreement, one of the dwarves called Kane approached with a slightly apologetic face and soon released the net.
[Status abnormality has been lifted.]
Azreal’s control has been released and his movement is free. When you are confused by the favorable attitude of those who suddenly changed. One of the dwarves cleared his throat as if he was embarrassed.
“Kheuheum… I’m sorry about this. The emergency fell so suddenly that I didn’t know it was of our lineage or something.”
“yes….?”
Dwarves talking about lineage out of nowhere and talking about unknown things. At their words, Azreal asked with a face that couldn’t hide her embarrassment, but she couldn’t protest.
“I’m sorry. Mixed-race dwarves wandering around in search of their hometown are always welcome. let’s go inside I’ll repay you for your disrespect with my cold beer.”
[You have satisfied the entry conditions for the city of Dwarves, Sand of Forge.]
[You can freely come and go from now on.]
“…?”
Azreal obtained the right to enter the city without doing anything. But for fear of being thrown into the dungeon again, he did not dare to ask about their sudden change of attitude.
“Hey, Kane is attacking me today. Let’s die and drink!”
“Ha ha ha ha. I got this.”
The dwarves descended underground with loud giggles. Cain, who followed them behind them with a warm smile, turned around and looked at Azreal, who was sitting there blankly, and said,
“What are you doing, why don’t you hurry up and follow me?”
“iced coffee! yes!”
Azreal ended up in Sand of Forge, the hidden city of the dwarves. And he couldn’t help but be furious when he realized what the condition of the position he had met not long after.
[How could I have permission to enter the dwarf city? this fuck. These damn dwarves are always welcome as short humans of their own blood mixed with dwarves. Fuck, is 162cm tall enough to be treated as a kinsman by dwarves? yes? fuck! Am I really that small to be treated like hobbits? Fuck!!!!!]
A desperate sense of self-doubt experienced in the game.
Azreal, a short man, got drunk on blowing a bottle for the first time and vomited out the resentment he had accumulated over the course of his life in the video.

Dwarves and elves.
after their location was exposed. Not long after, users who set foot in the city of elves and dwarves began to appear one by one, and a great controversy began to arise.
– What the fuck. The elves tell you to get rid of the ugly guy right now? You’re innocent even if you kill this, right?
-lol. Are you ugly? Then you are a dwarf!
-Really. Ugly and short children are liked by dwarves.
– Uhhhhhhhhhhhh. Take a look at the novel setting where the area where you can enter is different depending on your appearance.
-I told you to get out of the dwarves if you don’t want to die? Ha… I came here with a lot of hard work…
-You bastard deceiver. are you tall Do you really want to die?
-John Zaler, who is 185cm tall, goes to play with the elves. ^^
-No fuck, isn’t this really too much? What kind of likeability depends on looks and height?
Elves obsessed with looks and dwarves obsessed with height. Because of the sharply divided admission conditions, this has become something like a verification among users.
– Big. You got permission to enter the village of the elves, right? Is it well-certified?
-What are elves doing in a village where pretty things are everything? There are many good equipment in Dwarf Village.
– Wow….. I really envy you. Is that a hobbit privilege?
-What is this chewy? say it again
Users who boasted of their good looks recognized by the elves and users who fluttered while receiving the sticky comradeship from the dwarves. These two forces waged a fierce war of nerves in the Arfandia community every day.
-If there are bastards teasing you for being short in the future, I’m going to burn down the elves’ village.
-lol. Come see if you can. Tall hyung will play with you~
– Hey, XXXXX to this XXXX and XXXXXX to XXXX!
Users who are always being beaten one-sidedly on the Internet and are loved by the dwarves who only accumulate scratches on their self-esteem. It was only natural that their anger and resentment would spill over to the operator, the culprit behind it all.
“Yes…. Customer, what about the setting for humans that dwarves and elves are attracted to
? Even though I’m short, I’ve lived proudly without being aware of it until now. How do you make me feel embarrassed in this way in a game? As a human being, do you still fall asleep at night?]
“Oh no… Why are you crying all of a sudden? Please don’t cry and calm down…..”
[You fucking bastards! Is being short a sin? Are you making the game realistic so all the really short guys are treated like dwarfs? Damn, do I have to play this game because I’m dirty?]
“I’m sorry if you felt uncomfortable while playing….. We will do our best to review the issue a little more and take action.”
[Hey, guys, are you going to do it later?]
“…..”
The complaints of spicy taste flooded in like hardcore. And the day of the crisis management and response team of Arcadia Co., Ltd., which endured it, was peaceful today.
