#11. Gate Destruction (2)

– The difference between a dungeon and a gate is…

inside a quiet express bus.

On the monitor screen, the experts were in full swing.

Damdeok was listening to their discussion.

– So, what Dr. Hwang said is that the gate is not much of a threat right now, but there will come a day when it will far surpass the danger level of the dungeon. Do you mean this?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

– Yes that’s right. Looking at the trends over the past 5 years, there is a growing trend…

‘Dungeon’ and ‘Gate’.

‘Dungeon’ refers to a three-dimensional building with a shape such as a pyramid or cave, and ‘gate’ literally means gate.

It meant a two-dimensional door swaying in the air.

These two phenomena have always been a hot potato among experts…

– It is possible to enter the dungeon yourself and conquer it! But isn’t it impossible to enter the gate itself? What if the gate does not disappear naturally and continues to create and send out stronger monsters than now? The damage will be enormous.

I nodded at the young scholar’s words.

That is correct.

‘Because modern people think of gates too easily.’

It’s been about 100 years since dungeons appeared in the world. However, gate was a new phenomenon that appeared 10 years ago.

Despite being a new phenomenon that requires greater vigilance, gates were treated like traffic accidents…

‘Because gate monsters are too small compared to dungeons and they naturally disappear after a certain period of time.’

Simply put, the gate is not very threatening.

– Hmm, aren’t the experts giving too pessimistic opinions? Gate is a disaster with fewer casualties than a typhoon.

– So far so. But you don’t know what will happen in the future, do you? Humanity has no common sense about gates.

– you’re right. Now all citizens need to know! The government is focusing only on conquering dungeons that can obtain various natural resources and items, and is neglecting research on gates that have relatively nothing to obtain.

– Oh, Dr. Hwang, your words are harsh! Is the government sitting on its hands? It’s impossible to enter the gate, so of course you can’t investigate!

– If you can’t get in, you should first investigate why you can’t get in!

– what?!

– Ah, now. Everyone, please calm down. This is the end of this….

The discussion is getting more and more intense.

I nodded quietly.

‘They say you can never enter the gate.’

“haha. “Is that really the case?”

* * *

Near Gwanmosan Mountain in Yongin-si.

Cracks are rippling above the gently flowing valley water.

Small gate.

Monsters were constantly coming out of the cracks.

– Kieeek!

– Kyaaa!

The battle between the green creatures and the guards was already in full swing around them.

“Whew, no matter how many times I kill, there is no end to it.”

“Monster Wave is like that.”

“Gasp, isn’t it almost time?”

Each member wields a spear knife and says a word.

“There are now 3 minutes left!”

Their faces turned bright red as the garrison commander shouted.

“yes!”

“It’s coming to an end!”

The monster wave usually continues for an hour and then enters a lull for the remaining hour.

As the first, second, and third waves were repeated, the gate usually disappeared naturally.

No matter how easy gate monsters are to catch, hunting them non-stop for an hour was not an easy task.

The breathing of the garrison members was already getting rough. Now is the perfect time to get injured.

“now! The lull is just around the corner! Everyone, stay focused until the end!”

The garrison commander, who had just cut off the goblin’s head, encouraged the exhausted members.

But his steps soon stopped short…

“What is that?”

At the captain’s words, the gaze of the garrison members also turned upward.

There was a man standing at the edge of the cliff above the valley.

“Hey you! “Didn’t you ask for civilian control?!”

“Oh no! A request was made to a nearby district center for control. It looks like he sneaked over…”

The guard commander’s face distorted.

It happens sometimes.

This means that curious people or new hunters sneak in and look at the gate.

“Tell them to come down immediately!”

If an accident occurs near the gate, the guild in charge must take responsibility.

And the current person in charge of this place was Nadoil himself, the garrison commander.

‘What the hell is that guy?’

Guard leader Nadoil’s eyes wavered uneasily.

The man continued to stand precariously at the edge of the cliff.

Normally, the valley would be deep and it would be okay to fall, but now a gate had been created.

‘There’s a gate right below! If you hit it, you die instantly!’

The crack in the gate is solid.

It looked like it would be gently sucked in, but it was actually harder than diamond.

Nadoil’s mouth went dry.

“Hey, don’t worry too much, boss. Even if that were the case, wouldn’t it be self-inflicted blackmail? “Are you really going to jump?”

Self-harm blackmail.

These are bad people who specialize in situations like this that the guild should be responsible for and take the insurance money.

However, even with the comfort of his subordinates, Nado-il could not erase his anxiety.

‘That’s a self-harm blackmail? It looks like it’s ready to run at any moment?’

Besides, if you fall from that height, it’s blackmail and you’ll just die.

The sheer cliff was about the height of a 7th floor apartment building.

Jumping from that height towards the gate was just like jumping from the roof of a building onto the asphalt.

“what? “What’s going on?”

“I see there’s a civilian in there?”

Voices muttering from behind.

They were reporters specializing in Gate coverage.

‘It’s not good like this.’

Isn’t there a situation where there is nothing good to be gained from going to the media?

Several of the crew members had already reached the bottom of the cliff, wading through the current, but the man on top of the cliff looked like he was going to jump off at any moment.

It was urgent.

It is too late for the crew to stop it.

I had to stop it myself.

“Whoa, what a strange guy…”

For a moment, it felt as if the wind was blowing from Nadoil’s toes, and in an instant, his body was blown away.

As he flew up to the top of the cliff, the man looked at him in surprise.

At first glance, he was a beginner hunter.

“Ugh. Let’s go happily, okay?”

Nadoil stretched out his hand roughly.

The man in front of me had no weapons or armor, but he was a fully armed 4-star hunter.

It seemed like subduing it would be so easy…

The man in front of me suddenly burst into laughter.

“Kkkkkk. I’m surprised. “You move so well as you think.”

“what? “You bastard!”

I grabbed the man’s collar roughly, but he just smiled and looked elsewhere.

‘Where are you looking?’

The man was looking down the valley.

Before I knew it, all the cameras of the reporters who came running were pointed at this place.

“Kkkkkk. Since the captain moves directly like this, everyone makes more of a fuss. “Is this a success in attracting attention?”

“What bullshit…”

It was a split second.

The white pet on top of the man’s head seemed to grow longer and then

flopped!

Flash before your eyes! The stars shone.

“Ugh!”

My vision became blurry and then clear again and again.

‘Why, I clearly didn’t have a weapon!’

Beep- tinnitus sound.

A white club appeared through Nadoil’s vision as he stumbled.

‘When on earth did you use a club…’

Boom!

Nado-il’s body lost its balance and fell.

My head touches the cold dirt floor.

Below I could see the perplexed faces of the crew.

‘Such a shame…’

The vision that had been blinking went black.

Nadoil’s body went limp.

“Captain!!”

“It’s a scoop! Take a picture!”

The panicked voices of the defenders and the sounds of reporters’ shutters began to echo through the valley.

click! Chop clap!

“Good good. Take as many pictures as you want. “It’s a real show from now on.”

Damdeok narrowly approached the edge of the cliff and stood.

Patter!

The falling stones made my heart pound.

“Stop that bastard!!”

“hey! If you jump from there, you’ll die!!”

Damdeok smiled despite the dissuasion from the white-faced people.

“Why die once or twice?”

Taaat!

For an instant, silence fell over the entire valley, as if the mute button had been pressed.

Whoa!

A man’s body falling exactly towards the gate.

‘I’m crazy…’

‘I’m crazy!’

Everyone was thinking the same thing.

‘Die!’

The man’s entire body will explode and he will die!

Everyone thought that and closed their eyes tightly. Some even turned their heads.

However, just before hitting the gate, the man raised his white club high.

“Goes!!!”

“Aaaah!!”

Sigh!

That was the end of it.

The body of the man holding the club was gently sucked into the gate.

“….”

The silence continued in the valley. I couldn’t even hear the reporters’ shutter sounds.

Everyone just stared blankly at the gate.

* * *

“This is real.”

Damdeok slowly stood up in the hazy dust.

A message appeared before my eyes at that moment.

[You have entered the hidden world.]

[The eyes of the abyss are watching you.]

Rushing into the gate was literally an adventure.

Half of it, to be exact. The other half was due to confidence.

“As expected, in Baek White’s memory, the gate was correct.”

Memories of Baek Seol that passed by when the gate appeared on TV.

‘Apparently the gods were passing through the cracks.’

Several gods gather together and naturally enter the crack.

When Damdeok saw it, the crack clearly resembled a ‘gate’ in the human world.

No, it was safe to say that it was the same.

‘They say humans can’t enter, but gods can…’

How many times did you open your profile and check it after that?

[Name: Yu Damdeok (Human)]

[Occupation: Lowest level god]

I wanted to check.

According to his profile, he is the only one who walks in both the realms of humans and gods.

In the end….

“It was a huge success.”

Damdeok looked around at the large pit around him and muttered.

A pit created by hitting the dwarven hammer hard.

It was a precaution in case entry failed. Even if you can’t enter the gate, if you do this, you won’t crash and die.

‘I may have broken both my arms…’

Anyway, I’m glad I came out okay.

I slowly got out of the pit and looked around.

“It’s not as big of a deal as I thought.”

The inside of the gate was monotonous.

It was a vast wasteland, literally a barren land with nothing in it.

“Hmm, it’s more desolate than the dungeon…”

If I had to point out something special,

the first thing was the small cave in front.

Secondly.

“Is that like a barrier?”

A thin membrane blocking the middle of the wasteland. It was impossible to see beyond the opaque membrane.

‘It’s as if they’re blocking you from going to the next level in the game.’

I got closer to the barrier.

[You lack spiritual power.]

[You cannot dare to approach.]

[The eyes of the abyss are watching you.]

As soon as you approach, a message comes to mind.

“Is it really that guy’s divine power again?”

What is that thing with eyes of the abyss that keep opening up from before?

But I decided not to care.

“Anyway, you’re saying that you can only go beyond this if your physical strength increases, right? “It’s fun.”

Thump!

After hitting the barrier a few times, I turned around without any hesitation.

Spiritual power will naturally rise in the future.

“No. “It will continue to rise from now on.”

There must already be chaos outside.

[The mysterious hunter who entered the gate?!]

I could already imagine the title of the article.

It was clear that if I went out like this and shouted just one word, ‘I can enter the gate!’, my physical strength would increase by 5,000 by default.

But

“I’m not satisfied with that.”

Since ancient times, the greater the level of indulgence, the greater the effect.

We stopped at the entrance to a small cave.

“Let’s make sure we come in first.”

There was one keyword that Damdeok was aiming for.

[Gate destroyed.]

Damdeok’s body slowly engulfed in the black darkness.
