In a dull office where the only light was provided by two fixtures on the ceiling, two men sat at a table, facing each other . One of them was very large and muscular, with a shiny bald head, the other was much smaller and looked at the man across from him with a slightly ugly expression . The sight was very strange and it wouldn’t seem out of place if guns or drugs were added to the scene .
Suddenly the bald man pulled a package out of his pocket . In a situation like this, what one would expect would be maybe a bar of gold or drugs or something of the sort, but when the man unwrapped the package, what was revealed instead, was a bar of chocolate .
Thus the image became rather strange and the smaller man couldn’t help but ask,
“Are you really going to eat a chocolate bar now?”
Oh Se-chan looked at the large man across from him who was munching away at his chocolate bar .
“This is how a man should be . ”
When he heard that response, a smile appeared on Oh Se-chan’s face .
“Yes, if you don’t eat like that, people will definitely think you’re a woman . When you go to the bathroom make sure to take out a chocolate bar and start eating otherwise people will think they entered the women’s bathroom instead . ”
Lee Jin-ah ignored Oh Se-chan’s words and instead asked in a serious tone .
“Why’d you call me here?”
“An ranked dungeon has been discovered . ”
“If you’re telling me about it, that must mean that it’s at least 2 floors . ”
“Yeah, it’s two floors, level limit is 35 and under and only 99 entries are available . ”
As he listened to the report, Lee Jin-ah’s face gradually became worse, but he didn’t pick up the document that Oh Se-chan placed on the table in front of him because he didn’t think too much about it .
An rank dungeon was only for those large and powerful guilds like the Messiah Guild or the Phoenix Guild . It was not something small guilds could usually touch .
“The dungeon boss is a Needle Snake . ”
“Eh? A Needle Snake?”
However when he heard what the boss was, Lee Jin-ah reached forward and picked up the report in front of him .
“Hu-, Huh? Isn’t this supposed to be a dungeon report?”
“Oh sorry, ignore that, the report is on the back . ”
“Ah, I see . ”
After flipping the paper over, Lee Jin-ah saw the report .
[Needle Snake Hunt . ]

As he read the details of the dungeon, Lee Jin-ah couldn’t help but say in a nervous tone,
“Will there be anyone willing to do this? For players below level 35, a Needle Snake is almost certain death . ”
“It truly is almost guaranteed death . ”
The Needle Snake . A monster that became well known around the world two years ago when it first appeared . Showing up in Paris, France and then the United States, Britain and Japan one after another . However, there was no detailed information about it, and that was for one simple reason .
“Because it’s never been successfully killed before . ”

No one had ever returned from a Needle Snake hunt . Because of this, the monster was given a nickname…
“Snake Fucker . ”
“…the Snake of Death . ”
The Snake of Death, or the Snake Reaper . This name was given because of the large number of players that it killed .
“Hey, do you have to keep giving things stupid names?”
“It’s all the same, Death Snake, Snake Fucker, Snake Bitch, Fucking Bitch, they’re the same thing right? Anyway, I roughly understand the situation now . ”
Lee Jin-Ah put the report and looked at Oh Se-chan, his expression becoming serious .
“Most guilds will probably give up their claim on this one, but you’re the one who wants to eat it up first, right?”
“That’s right . ”
“And you’re looking to blend into the crowd or maybe wait for a foreign guild to challenge . ”
“Right . ”
“But to snatch it from them we’d have to be really good or really . strong . ”
“I know that too . ”
“Well let’s discuss the plan while we eat . I’ll take champagne with a large serving of tangsuyuk . Oh and please ask for a generous helping of dumplings too . ”
Oh Se-chan shook his head at the sudden change .
“Where did this bullshit come from all of a sudden?”
“You have to invest a bit to hire a skilled person don’t you?”
“That’s true, but why are you the one eating?”
“Because I’m the best person for such a job . ”
Oh Se-chan gave him a blank stare .
“No? Then who could it be? Dragon Slayer? Trinity? The Brain? Or the Messiah Lee Se-jun? But all of them are near level 200 so they wouldn’t be able to enter the dungeon . ”
“There is Kim Woo-jin . ”
When he heard the name, Lee Jin-ah made an ugly face .
“Damn it! I don’t wanna hunt with that bastard!”
“Why?”
“You should know! The guy is a heartless monster! I’ve never met anyone as crazy as he is . Humans usually have a consciousness, that guy, he considers your endurance before your skill . He needs to learn how to treat people right, first . ”

Lee Jin-ah was very much against working with Kim Woo-jin .
“If you work with him, you would complete it more efficiently . ”
Instead of arguing further, Oh Se-chan removed a recorder from his pocket and put it on the table after pressing the playback button .
‘…What I want in a party are people who won’t hold me back . ’
Lee Jin-ah’s voice was heard from the recorder, the sound echoing in the now quiet room .
‘I don’t care about their personality . Whether they’re a punk or a bastard, I don’t care . Even the devil himself, as long as he can beat me . If there is someone like that, I will follow him like a loyal dog . Please find them for me . haha! There is no one stronger than me . Hahahaha!’
Lee Jin-ah’s face became uglier as he heard what he’d said .
“Umm, I’m a little thirsty…”
He picked up a cup of water from the table and took a big sip, but his expression became worse .
“Brother, why does this water taste weird? It smells like there’s medicine in it . ”
“Probably because it’s tap water . ”
“Tap water?”
“Why? Would you like some more?”
When Oh Se-chan said this, Lee Jin-ah didn’t know whether to laugh or cry .
“Brother, big brother . Tap water…”
“It’s not important, don’t worry, you won’t die even if you drank some more . ”
“It’s not important?”
“Yeah, the tap water is not important . What’s important is this dungeon hunt . you need to get it done the first time . ”
Lee Jin-ah’s expression became serious again . As Oh Se-chan said, when hunting a Needle Snake, you had to succeed on your first try .
“Right, if the first attack fails, there won’t be a chance for a second . You have to succeed from the start . ”
Lee Jin-ah knew how deadly the Needle Snake was .
“And that’s why you need Kim Woo-jin . ”
“I can’t handle this, where is the food?”
“You still want to eat?”
When he heard that, Lee Jin-ah looked at Oh Se-chan .
“What do you mean by that?”
Oh Se-chan couldn’t help laughing .
After talking to Oh Se-chan on the phone, Kim Woo-jin closed it and recalled the conversation in his head .
‘We’re going to attack the Needle Snake Dungeon, are you willing to participate?’
Kim Woo-jin had directly refused without much thought and as if he was expecting it, Oh Se-chan had then said,
‘I knew you wouldn’t agree, so I’ll make you a deal . ’
He proposed his deal to Kim Woo-jin .
‘First I want to ask . What would you do if I could give you a legendary item? What would you do in exchange for a legendary item . ’
Kim Woo-jin said
“I’d do whatever I can . ”
‘Would you do everything you could? Would you do anything?’
As Kim Woo-jin gave an affirmative answer, Oh Se-chan asked his last question .
‘What if I told you to kill a savior, or a hero? Could you do it?’
This time, Kim Woo-jin didn’t answer immediately .
‘You have to think about it?’
“Yes, I’m thinking . ”
‘Haha! no need to think about it . No one would easily do something if they weren’t sure they could bear the cost . ’
Oh Se-chan returned to his proposal .
‘Okay let’s get back to the topic . I’ll lend you a legendary item . That should greatly increase your skills . The condition is that you kill the Needle Snake . When you’ve completed the task, it’s yours . ’
Kim Woo-jin naturally accepted such an offer . The conversation ended not long after that .
At the moment however, Oh Se-chan’s question kept replaying in Woo-jin’s head as he gently tapped the flip phone against his head .
‘For a legendary item, could you kill a savior or a hero?’
As he thought of the question, Kim Woo-jin finally gave his answer .
‘Something like that…I could do it for free . ’
After he had this thought, Woo-jin got up and started preparing for the hunt .
‘Hunting a Needle Snake…that’s easy . ’
