399 The Path of Learning (4) Over seventy percent of South Korea’s land is mountainous. As a result, most residential areas are built along or upon mountains. The apartment provided by Hong Seok-yeong was no exception. The entrance to the apartment complex was a fairly steep uphill road. It wasn’t exactly hard to climb, but it was certainly a hassle. I clearly remembered complaining to my father about that hill back when we lived here together, begging to move somewhere else. Not long after my…

419 Preparation for the Raid (4) In modern society, a magician is indispensable for dungeon raids. This was true twenty years ago, and it will be true twenty years from now. Thanks to the development of runes and mana pens, the status of magicians isn’t what it used to be. Still, most hunters look for a magician when entering a dungeon—especially for the highest-level dungeons. Why? Because magicians work miracles. They can find the core’s location in a dungeon they’ve never…

543 (Hunter Academy Side Story 10) Additional Personnel_2 The policy regarding Mont Saint-Michel was reaffirmed once again. Nothing had changed. Hong Seok-young made it clear, yet again, that he would not yield on this issue. Everyone knew about the existence of the bomb called Mont Saint-Michel… No, the whole world knew it was a bomb. But only a handful of people knew that bomb could become a catastrophe beyond imagination. The anxiety was the same for all. But as the guild members…

423 Ashes’ Vermin (3) Do not grow complacent. Words left by a certain human—perhaps once a guardian of humanity—for their past self. He was someone who, for all his legendary reputation, often spoke nonsense and played more than his share of pranks, but experience never lied. His advice—if it could be called advice—was universal. Well, it was the sort of thing anyone could easily say, and no one could deny its truth. Unfortunately, it applied just as well to those who were not…

403 Admission Review (1) “Uwaaaah!!!!” A scream rang out, echoing through the air. Kiru-ruk. The monster, reacting to that merciless cry, lifted its head high. Its rough hide, the beak concealing sharp teeth. The crimson crest atop its crown trembled this way and that each time it turned its head. The instant it pinpointed the source of the sound, its wings spread wide. “I—I’m sorry! Please, spare me!!” “For god’s sake, just shut your mouth!!!” Gritting my…

394 Greeting (3) “Hee-jae!” Unlike Hope, who radiated clear displeasure, Tati, the dungeon’s fairy, gave Hope only a single glance before completely ignoring her. I thought, since she was a monster herself—well, formerly, at least—she might react in some way, but I hadn’t expected her to dismiss Hope so thoroughly. Was it proof that Hope, after losing those wings, was now entirely human in every sense? If you carried something like that on your back, even monsters wouldn’t see you as…

391 Inside (3) The strategy for clearing this remote dungeon in Gangwon Province is laughably simple. Catching the crocodiles that inhabit the dungeon isn’t exactly easy. Even if they can’t see, that doesn’t mean their other senses are dull. Besides, in modern society, what really raises the difficulty of a dungeon isn’t the form of the monster, but its size. No matter how big a human gets, it’s hard to surpass two meters. But monsters? There’s no limit. And compared to humanoid…

463 Nightmare of All Hunters (3) Han Taekyung being Han Taekyung was nothing new, and Daniel’s stay at Yangseong High had not been a brief one, either. In other words, this American had long since grown used to Han Taekyung’s eccentricities. Daniel looked a bit flustered, but nodded as if he understood. …Did he really understand? Daniel looked at Han Taekyung’s face. Probably sunglasses. That man was a hunter who entered dungeons, and as a healer, he must have seen more injuries than…

338 The Almighty Magician (2) ‘Come to think of it.’ There was a time when Woo Hee-jae had asked a question. ‘Ms. Kim, you’re different from the magicians I know.’ When was it? It was before she knew Woo Hee-jae’s true identity—back when she’d been lured by the rune he showed her and decided to work at the experimental high school, or rather, the pilot school. It was during the period when she was pushing Woo Hee-jae hard to learn various runes and had begun to grow attached…

524 Words I Want to Convey (1) ‘Ha ha. What’s this? Another kid?’ It was a time when I couldn’t yet distinguish human faces properly. Looking back now, everything seems shrouded in fog, blurred at the edges. Perhaps it was because the “connection” hadn’t been completely severed, even though I wore a human body. Back then, Alex Hope was less human than… ‘Hey, kid, how old are you? Are you even ten yet? Not that I should talk, but if kids are doing this, isn’t that a sign the…

504 Sun (1) The structure of Mont-Saint-Michel’s library consists of a single ground floor, called the lobby, and five basement levels. The underground floors may go even deeper. At least, that’s what has been revealed as of twenty years later. Of these, the main reason the dungeon came to be called…

346 Reciprocity (1) Imi-seon turned off the TV with a complicated expression. I blurted out reflexively. “We didn’t do it.” “We really didn’t do it.” “We didn’t do it.” Kim Chaemin and Hong Seokyeong said it at the same time. Imi-seon looked at us in disbelief. “Who said you did? How are you all saying the exact same thing…?” “Didn’t you look like you were about to say something?” “This is…” Imi-seon closed her mouth. “…This…

513 The Magician’s Child (3) It would be a lie to say he hadn’t expected the word “revenge.” If anything, wasn’t that the most primal motive that could move a person’s heart? It was better than some mad rambling dressed up to sound profound. At the very least, there was room to try to understand this. Empathy was another matter. “Is that so?” Hong Seok-young looked at the broken doll, unmistakably cradling a child. There was no sign of the child itself… Michel…

305 Youthful Girls (3) “Forget it, what’s the point in telling you anyway.” Soon Soon-jin muttered, sounding deflated. She didn’t seem particularly motivated, but she kept watering the flower bed all the same. No, I suppose Kim Chae-min would never let the plants die, but still, shouldn’t they show a little more care? Watering plants doesn’t mean dumping water in one spot, does it? And, for heaven’s sake, I wish they’d realize I’m standing right behind the curtain. It’s not…

406 Admission Review (4) Four days ago. “Wahahahahah!” Han Taekyung burst out laughing like a madman. “Wah, wahaha, kek, kehek, kuh! Kuh kuh!” Then he started coughing, clutching his throat as he tumbled out of his chair. Just when I think about giving him some credit, he manages to ruin it himself. If that’s a talent, it’s certainly a unique one. At this point, I had to wonder if he did it on purpose—dodging complicated matters by acting the fool and slipping away. It…

521 To Remain a Magician (5) I revised my assessment of Noah Michelle. In recent years, I couldn’t recall another person whose evaluation had changed so frequently. Nor had my understanding of magicians shifted so much. Even before working with Kim Chae-min, I had occasionally collaborated with archmages. There was Park Seo-hyun, once called a witch. Besides her, there were several other archmages in Korea; some of them disliked the Agency, but many never refused a request for…

519 To Remain a Magician (3) “So, in other words…” Han Tae-kyung’s explanation continued a bit longer, but in the end, it could be summed up simply. “It means the Mont-Saint-Michel fairy is holding a walkthrough for Noah Michelle.” It felt awkward to make such a judgment about a person—especially someone who clearly wasn’t enjoying any of this—but he had hit on the core of the matter. Of course, there were still unresolved issues. Thanks to Park Seo-hyun and Choi Jin-woo,…

258 Jirisan Fairy (4) "……!!" My breath caught in my throat. I leapt upward to avoid the collapsing ground. I climbed onto a nearby tree, but the branch I landed on bent sharply beneath me. Of course, it wasn’t so thin that it couldn’t support my weight. The other branches were the same. The ground, heaving and trying to swallow us, could hardly be called ground anymore. My ankles sank deep into the thick, sticky mud. This was no longer a floor—it was a swamp. A bottomless mire. A mass…

525 Words I Want to Convey (2) Two days ago. -…That’s how it ended. On the small phone screen, Gamble wore an expression that was hard to describe. It was different from the usual look of exhaustion from overwork. I wasn’t the only one who noticed Gamble’s lukewarm reaction. My father raised his eyebrows. “What’s wrong?” -Uh… No, it’s just, I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t this. “Then what were you expecting?” -I’m not sure, but, well. If…

424 Ashes' Vermin (4) Would Kim Chaemin dislike it if I said something like this? But even so, I can’t just pretend I didn’t feel it. The petals, even after the dungeon core was shattered, drifted for a long while, caught in the storm of mana. The petals, already torn to pieces beyond recognition, now looked almost no different from dust. Dust? To be honest, they looked like gnats. Tiny flying insects, flitting about, drawn to the light. Maybe it was because a few butterflies that had…
