Chapter 62

Seora’s brows furrowed.

“I hope it’s not some shitty ideas you’ve got in your head.”

— Calm down, please. There’s a reason, so please don’t try to kill me with your voice. I think it’s possible if it’s you.

“Then what’s the reason?”

— Do you know that Baek Hee-won’s house is nearby?

Seora’s eyes widened, and she quickly glanced around. But soon, she sighed and shook her head. “Really? Is it closer than I thought?”

About this. Seora touched her forehead. At that time, she suffered from motion sickness the whole time she rode in Jung Hoyoung’s car, and even when she climbed the mountain, she was carried by Jarim, so she couldn’t remember the proper location.

— She won’t be able to stop Rift Dungeon alone, so give her a hand.

“Even if it’s not near her house, I have to take care of appearing dungeons anyway, so why didn’t you just tell me to go to Baek Heewon’s house from the start?”

— I thought Baek Heewon would run away if I did.

“What? Why?”

— She’s… uh… kind of reluctant to meet you. I think it’s because of the resignation matter…

The murmuring voice turned silent.

— So please lend a hand. And you don’t need to worry about this side. Everyone’s in a good mood, and nothing much is going on yet.

Seora was about to ask about Jaehun but stepped herself in the end. She received the news via text message every meal, so that was enough.

“Alright, hang up now. I’ll call you back when it’s all over.” After hanging up, she shoved her phone into her pocket. “I didn’t know Baek Heewon cared about that. Is she sorry she couldn’t say anything?”

“Wouldn’t anyone feel sorry if they couldn’t say something nice to the office worker who came to ask if she could resign?”

When Seora remembered that time, she became angry again. Is there really no such thing as resignation in my destiny?!

“I think I can shoot and kill any monsters now.” Seora took out her jacket and gloves from her inventory for the first time in a while and put them on.

“Wow, Seora. That is so cool.” Jarim, who had never seen her wearing equipment other than the weapon Hit, salivated while looking at the jacket. Seora’s nose rose sharply as she had something to brag about.

“Right? Ha, be envious as much as you want. This is a jacket worth 80 billion coins!”

“Ugh!” Jarim, who was slowly caressing the sleeve hem, hiccuped. “E-E-E-E-Eighty billions?!”

“80 billion coins. Not Korea won. Coins. It is more expensive in terms of the system bank exchange rate.”

“W-W-Whoa!”

“This is all thanks to the administrator. Look. These gloves were made by the administrator themself and bestowed upon me.”

[Administrator: (*´∀`*)ゞ]

“Ugh! A self-made gloves? Wow, look at the ratings. It’s S-class!”

“What do you think? Isn’t it cool? Isn’t it amazing?”

“Mmhmm! I’m so jealous!”

[Administrator: ヾ(*´∇`)ﾉ]n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

It was a pity that she could rarely brag because she hid her identity, but now all the regrets were gone.

I feel like I’m getting full attention!

“Oh, bragging is so much fun!”

“Seora, I think the administrator is really nice. They love you very much.”

“That’s right. How nice our Elizabeth is! I can’t live without Liza now.”

[Administrator: ∑(๑º口º๑)!!]

[Administrator: ⁄(⁄⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄⁄)⁄]

Now she could boldly say that she was a little used to it.

“Mm, it’s true. Baskar’s administrator didn’t give the contractor anything like a gift.”

“Huh? Really? I thought everyone was supposed to get them. Don’t Entities give things to their contractor in the first place?”

“Hmm. Do you consider exchanging stone fragments to communicate with each other as a gift?”

“Stone fragments…”

[Administrator: ꒪⌓꒪ ]

‘I know, right…? I was also surprised…’

In the future, I will have to value the administrator more. Seora hugged the administrator’s emoticon and stroked it vigorously.

Liza-ssi, you’re so precious.

[Administrator: ( ง ･ω･) ง⁼³₌₃]

At that time, Seora stopped playing with the administrator’s emoticon and turned her head.

“Looks like the dungeon will appear soon. Get ready.”

She held Hit, which converted into a sniper rifle, in her hand, and Jarim also pulled out a scythe with two huge blades. It was a weapon made only for counters, but it looked brutal no matter when she saw it.

[Gate is created. Please be prepared for danger.]

[Gate creation is complete.]

[Location — halfway up Mount Taebaek gets caught up in a rift dungeon!]

The space where Seora and Jarim stood began to distort. A slight dizziness occurred, and the surroundings were already dungeon when they regained their senses.

Surprised by the damp, nasty smell that stung her nostrils, Seora pinched her nose.

“Oh, of all things.”

[The Awakened ‘Yoon Seora’ has entered the Level 3 dungeon ‘Spiderweb Swamp’.]

The atmosphere of Mount Taebek, which had been dyed with colorful leaves in the fall, had disappeared, and a gloomy swampy area had spread out.

And that wasn’t the only thing.

“It is poisonous.”

Poison from the swamps and trees hung thickly in the air.

[Poison detected. Activates skill Poison Resistance (S-class). Blocks all poisons below S-class.]

Right. I received a skill as a reward for clearing a Level 2 dungeon. Thanks to this, there’s no need to wear cumbersome gas masks.

“Sung Jarim, are you okay?”

“I have poison resistance. I got it when wandering in Baskar.”

“That’s a relief. Will Baek Heewon be okay?”

“We have to find her first. But the problem is, can we walk around?”

Except for the land they were stepping on, it was almost all swamp. It was impossible to walk around without falling into the swamp, no matter how small their number was.

“Sung Jarim, you also have a ‘returnee’ to your name. Do you have any related skills or titles? Like making rocks or something like that?”

“My specialty is destroying the ore family, not creating them.”

“I never thought I’d miss Mage-ssi.”

If Kang Sejun had been there, he would have made a foothold like in the Magic Stone Cave. Seora realized how convenient a mage that could use all attributes was.

“Ah, there’s nothing we can do, then. I have to use my abilities.”

“Seoraseora, did you sigh heavily in front of me, knowing how to do it?”

Seora pretended not to hear Jarim’s complaint and turned away.

“Which side is Baek Heewon’s house on?”

“There?”

“Alright. Skill activation. Field Deployment.”

[Activate the skill ‘Field Control’!]

[Zone setting complete. Temporarily takes control of the specified field!]

“Uh, wasn’t that for an attack?”

“It depends on the designation.”

The designated location this time was the swamp’s surface, so a long red cube lay over the swamp.

“It can also be applied in this way.”

Seora, who stood on top of the cube, gestured, and Ja-rim climbed up with her. Thanks to the solid cube, they could move forward comfortably without dipping a single foot in the swamp.

“Seoraseora, I feel great because it feels like I’m walking on the red carpet.”

“Think it’s all thanks to me. It doesn’t take a lot of mana to just keep one without using it as an attack.”

The uses of the red cube were more endless than she thought. It was said that there was a high probability that one’s skill would be related to the contracted Entity, so this could be said to be given by the administrator.

Seora gently stroked her glove, another thing the administrator had given.

“I hear something,” Jarim whispered. As she said, there was a dull noise coming from beyond with the sound of words.

“It sounds like a fight.”

The two of them ran straight ahead without delay. It was at the same time that the monster’s attack began.

“Jump!”

As soon as they jumped into the air together, Seora released the red cube. The identity of their attacker was none other than the vines wrapped around the tree.

“Is the monster a tree?” Jarim frowned as she swung her scythe and cut the vines.

“What the-? It’s very sticky. I don’t think this is a tree vine.”

“Sticky? Come to think of it, wasn’t the name of the dungeon Spiderweb Swamp? Then, is this a spiderweb?”

“Oh, I guess that’s right. Look at that.” Inside the forest Jarim pointed out, monsters the size of rocks were clustered together. The spider-like monster had eight legs, sharp claws on its jaws, and what was pulled from the end of its butt was not a thin thread but a thick rope-like spiderweb.

“Even if they’re monsters, isn’t this too much?”

Fortunately, there was land in the forest where the spiders were, and the two landed on it. While Sung Jarim was killing the spiders, Seora deployed a giant cube.

“Baek Heewon is over there.”

The red cube quickly noticed the presence of something other than a monster and conveyed it to the owner.

When Seora released the cube again, Jarim took the lead.

“Cover me.”

A huge scythe cut the spiderwebs entwined in all directions, and Seora’s gun shot at the spiders. As they moved forward, something like a scream began to be heard more and more clearly.

“Argh! Get lost! Get lost! Get lost you all! Not at my houseeeeeeee! That’s a really expensive houseeeeee! Defense! Defense! Defense! Aaaaaagh I don’t have enough mana! No! My house! My houseeee!”

“…”

It wasn’t a scream out of fear. It was a bloody curse from someone who was trying to save her collapsing house.

[T/N: Hello, everyone. I’d like to thank you for your support so far. ^_^

I don’t know if anyone knows this, but this novel is my first try at this genre, sp you will most certainly find some errors or inconsistencies due to my inexperience. I apologize for that.

I just recently discovered that, apparently, regressors and returnees are different. It confused me a bit because they’re often translated as either both regressors or returnees, so I thought it wouldn’t be a problem to use only one term. Still, it seems that Kang Sejun is supposedly called a regressor, while Sung Jarim a returnee.

I didn’t expect this novel to have so many things I’d have to take notes of, like the precise lines when using skills, getting items, killing the boss mob, and more stuff like that. And as much as I’ve re-edited the earlier chapters, it just isn’t possible anymore after we’re 60 chapters in 🤣

I keep notes of most of the terms and lines. Still, on the rare occasions you notice any inconsistencies, please turn a blind eye to it… and just enjoy the story as it is… I’d thank you a lot for it 🤣]
