This is why Seon Tae-soo was able to become a monarch.

He might have thought it was a weak buff at first.

But those subtle things will accumulate as synagogues and make a big difference.

Due to the buff, more talented people who stand out will be born, and as a result, people will gather one by one.

That was what Dohyun wanted.

It was all to save the small and medium corps that were falling apart, but for now, that was enough.

There could be no place more solid than this as a starting point.

‘More than anything else, the biggest advantage is that I can grow it myself.’

Dohyun’s eyes lit up.

With this, the intended purpose of creating a force that can oppose Jo Ja-hyun has been achieved.

He even got a title as a reward.

It was worthwhile to stay up all night when he came back from going to America.

Seon Woo-hyuk also seemed to have seen the system message.

Dohyun waited and spoke.

“I’m done with my work. Now I want to get paid.”

Seon Woo-hyuk swallowed his dry saliva as if he had made up his mind.

“Yes, I will prepare.”

“okay? Then the story was pretty much summed up. I need to clean up a bit.”

At those words, Seonwoo-hyuk raised a question on his face.

Dohyun nodded and pointed to the back of Seon Woo-hyuk.

There stood the dignitaries of the Frostfoot Legion, stiffened with terrified faces.

“Do you think we need to tightly crack down on the word so that rumors don’t leak?”

*

“after.”

Dohyun leaned over on the car seat.

A sigh escaped from the feeling of comfort.

Dohyun moved his neck back and forth, enjoying the comfort.

Woodduck.

The muscles of his neck, tensed in his fatigue, screamed.

‘I haven’t been able to rest properly for the past few days. I’m going to die of exhaustion.’

In order to lay all the foundations as planned, there were only a couple of things to be done.

Because of that, I was overworked and walked around without a break.

He couldn’t even sleep properly.

Dohyun was at the base of the Frostfoot Corps until just a moment ago.

And he was about to come back to this place after running without a break.

“Did you take a good look?”

To Kim’s question, Do-hyeon responded naturally.

“not really. The club water is running out today. After all, there are no good things.”

“Ah yes.”

Knight Kim was at a loss for words at the voice that was really annoying.

After he becomes a player, he complains that the club sucks while he has nothing to do.

Of course, Dohyun was crying because of exhaustion inside.

To hide his own trajectory, he was acting as a fool, but it wasn’t usually arduous.

He went out all day, going to clubs or pretending to be invited to his friends’ villas.

He never had time to sleep.

He had a double life so intense that if he weren’t for the player he would have been knocked out.

“Hey, I’m tired. Knight Kim, let’s go home now.”

At Dohyeon’s words, Knight Kim started the engine.

He was shouting with joy, saying to himself, ‘Finally, this motherfucker is going home.’

But he couldn’t reveal it.

This motherfucker went to the United States a while ago, making a fuss about the need for high-quality items to be active as a player.

And immediately after he returned home, he ran straight to the club without a break.

Even then, if he wasn’t tired, it wasn’t normal.

Leaning on the seat, Dohyun checked the title she received as a reward.

– Draws reality as it is and perfectly as if it were a photograph. It is criticized for saying that it is no different from the picture, but the descriptive power is outstanding.

– It corrects the player’s drawing to be closer to reality.

Do-hyeon’s characteristic ‘transcendence of the original’ is to modify worldly objects or phenomena through drawings.

However, it is said that the success rate of this modification is proportional to the skill of the drawing.This has been a concern for Do-hyun for a long time.

Because he lacked talent, it was an open version of the ‘author’s knowledge’, a skill attached to the trait.

It was not likely that the skill level would rise even if he was only studying painting.

Therefore, Dohyun wanted to supplement it with a title.

The title ‘Ultra-realistic Writer’ would be useful to Do-hyeon, even if it was a useless title for others.

This time, the title was not strengthened by the characteristic ‘Original’s Luck’, but

‘Because you can use a bone fragment imbued with magical power.’

It had to be strengthened with the reward received from the Tower of Trials.

A dark smile appeared on the corner of Dohyun’s lips.

Dohyeon took out a bone fragment imbued with magic from his inventory.

He wouldn’t even be able to see what he was doing in the public eye anyway.

Dohyun glanced at the knight Kim and used the item.

Tiling!

A system message popped up, giving the existing title a flashing visual effect.

– Long ago, a famous painter painted a tree on the wall of a temple, but it was so vivid that birds flew and crashed to death.

-The level of completion of the player’s work increases by 5%.

After confirming that the title effect had changed properly, Dohyun clenched his fist.

‘Good!’

It was transformed into a title that not only corrected the picture, but also contributed to the completeness.

The higher the perfection of the work, the higher the revision success rate would be.

Dohyun’s heart pounded with two bats.

Being able to modify objects and phenomena in the world was something that ordinary players could not even dream of.

But he couldn’t use this ability at random.

He had a huge influence on all events, because he is likely to deviate from the flow of the story he knows.

Do-hyeon, who captured his heart, closed his system window.

And just as Dohyun was about to close her eyes, Knight Kim spoke to her.

“Ah, master. I got the news while you were at the club.”

Dohyun raised his eyes in annoyance and opened his eyes.

“What?”

No smoke was needed for this part.

It was because the knight Kim, who interrupted the break, was really annoyed.

The quick-witted knight Kim read the anger from his heart and responded quickly.

“sorry. Because it was the information sent by my family, I couldn’t postpone it.”

Do-hyeon accepted the tablet PC that Kim gave to him.

“Today, a huge sinkhole was discovered in Incheon Metropolitan City. Judging that it has more to do with dungeons and monsters rather than poor construction or loss of groundwater, the government has set up a dedicated team to investigate.”

“A giant sinkhole?”

“yes. As you can see from the article, the sinkhole size is so large that it cannot be measured even after a certain amount of time has passed since it occurred.”

Article Kim’s words were no different from the article on the tablet PC he was handed over.

I couldn’t even guess the cause and just listed the symptoms one after another.

“I will read it slowly. So why don’t you just focus on driving?”

“Oh, I see.”

Dohyun said it was annoying, but his gaze was directed towards the tablet PC.

It was natural.

It was because they knew the identity of this huge sinkhole.

Dungeons & Monsters.

Because it meant that the game that brought suffering and trials to mankind started to move again.

Dohyun muttered aloud without knowing it.

“… Is it a large-scale quest?”

massive quests.

This is a quest that occurs irregularly in dungeons & monsters, and it was a great ordeal for mankind.

A dungeon attack only affects the player who enters the dungeon.

It does no harm to ordinary people who are not related to dungeons and monsters.

But large-scale quests are not like that.

The monsters appearing cause disasters or harbingers of disasters to mankind.

If the large-scale quest fails, a highly contagious disease sweeps across the country or a huge natural disaster strikes.

It was no exaggeration to say that the survival of mankind depends on the success of a large-scale quest.

Dohyun was nervous inside and threw his gaze out of his car window.

Unlike the wall of blank paper and the Tower of Trials, it was time to prepare his mind.*

– Hey, what are you going to do with your work?

A harsh voice came from the smartphone.

“sorry.”

– Listen. If you try to eat it on payday like this, you can really cut it off. So, don’t be frivolous and do what you’re told to do. okay?

“all right. I will keep that in mind.”

drop.

The tone of the man on the phone was rude, and even the call was cut off without notice.

The man who was listening to the abusive language, Jeong-ho Lee’s face turned red.

“Park Yoo-myung, you motherfucker! Why are you angering me for what you messed up because you were stupid?!”

Jung-ho Lee untied his tie roughly.

In anger, heat spread all over his body.

Park Yoo-myeong.

It has been three years since I started working under the Samhwa Group and Park Yoo-myeong, who entered the dungeon & monster-related business.

So far, everything has been smoothed out like a sailing boat in the wind.

With the full support of Samhwa Group, the acquisition and development of key players were carried out smoothly.

There is nothing in the world that money can’t do.

That thought just came to me.

Park Yoo-myeong also grew stronger using the company’s financial power and information as a foothold.

And Samhwa Group was able to get a pretty decent corps.

For that reason, Park Yoo-myeong and Lee Jung-ho, who work for Samhwa Group, have been working quite well so far.

But recently, the relationship has been on the wrong side.

“Damn you bastard! No matter how much the Frost Legion takeover case goes down, can you do this to me? How many years have I been stumbling around!”

Lee Jung-ho’s fist clenched and trembled.

Then, without noticing, his smartphone rang.

“what? What time is it now?”

-Sorry, sorry. It’s an urgent matter… … .

“done. Just do it, it’s not important. It’s going to be very messy.”

-… … .

“Say it!”

-Yes Yes! Unofficial information from the government is spreading that the huge sinkhole phenomenon in Incheon Metropolitan City during the day may be related to dungeons & monsters.

Lee Jung-ho’s eyes, which were red with anger, opened wide.

“Go on.”

-The security was so tight that the official could not steal the document, so we could not even get the document. It’s unofficial though, but I’ve confirmed it to be true.

“Are you sure?”

-The money I gave to that person would be more than my salary. I’m sure.

Lee Jung-ho’s eyes lit up.

A huge sinkhole has appeared, and the government is procrastinating and delaying the announcement instead of revealing the cause of the incident?

Above all, the security was so thorough that it was impossible to leak documents to the outside world.

So far, I have only received the stolen documents.

But this time alone, the government’s move was strange.

‘It doesn’t look like a simple dungeon or a monster appeared. There is something bigger than that, so the government must be delaying the announcement.’

What is it?

There was only one of Lee Jung-ho’s guesses.
