The higher the rank, the more popular a one floor dungeon would be . However, from 2 floors and above, the lower ranked dungeons were popular .
When the difficulty was low, the probability of death was also low . Of course, there were exceptions .
[Two-headed Dog Dungeon]
→Floors: 2
→Difficulty: D-rank
→Maximum number of Entries: 61
→Requirement: Level 40 and below
→Challenge Conditions: Defeat the Two-headed Dog
→Reward: None
The exception to this was the Two-headed Dog Dungeon which appeared in the rural housing complex in Sokhwasan, Yeongjongdo .
As a D-rank dungeon, it was obviously favored by most players whose levels were in their 30s .
A dog with two heads, also known as the Double Headed Dog(雙頭犬) is not only a strong monster, it was also cunning .
The problem was that the maximum number of entries was only 61, which meant that many monsters would spawn or that the chances of a powerful monster spawning were considerable .
Players looking for low difficulty dungeons were thus forced to find something else . At the same time, even the skilled players turned away as there was no reason for players who were confident in their skills to challenge a D-rank Dungeon .
In other words, this dungeon was nothing but a headache for the AA Guild who had bid for it .
“Lee Jung-hyun? Is that correct?”
“Yes . ”
Of course, the AA Guild didn’t really care whether the applicant was an angel or a demon .
That was the reason .
“Please sign here . ”
The reason that Kim Woo-jin didn’t need to give the AA Dungeon Management Team proper identification when he was signing up his name to participate in the dungeon using someone else’s name .
It was a good place to hunt Kim Je-hoon .
‘There is no dungeon better than this one for this . ’
Of course this was also a good stage for Kim Je-hoon when it came to Kim Woo-jin . This was why Kim Woo-jin chose this dungeon .
‘Because you can bring any number of bodyguards . ’
If the stage was good enough to make Kim Je-hoon go into the dungeon, then Kim Woo-jin would also go with him .
However the risk that Kim Woo-jin was taking was great .
‘And if it’s this guy…he’d bring someone on the level of Matsumoto or higher . ’

Even Matsumoto Naoki who was the disciple of the Sword Saint was helped by this guy to kill Kim Woo-jin .
‘Maybe someone from the Messiah Guild will come…’
Above all, given Kim Je-hoon’s connection to the Messiah Guild, there was a chance that Kim Woo-jin would meet someone that he knows .
It was then .
Kukuku!
A Range Rover, a car called the Rolls-Royce of the desert appeared .
The vehicle pulled into a provisional parking lot and people began pouring out of it one by one .
[Eye of Horus has been activated]
Suddenly, behind his sunglasses, Kim Woo-jin’s eyes began to glow with golden light .
There was no Kim Je-hoon among that group, instead .
‘Yang Ji-hoo?’
It was Yang Ji-hoo .
‘A Round Table Knight…better than I expected . ’
He was one of the members of the Round Table from Kim Woo-jin’s memories .
The Knights of the Round Table, in the beginning they weren’t a large group like a guild .
It began as a small gathering for players with legendary items relating to the great King Arthur . It wasn’t until 2025 that the small group suddenly became enormous . As society became more scattered and broken, there was a need for more groups who would become the pillars that held it together and the Knights of the Round Table became one such group .
It was like the Messiah Guild .
No, actually, the Messiah Guild was their root .
‘Park Shin-hye played a decisive role . ’
Park Shin-hye, who owned the Merlin Staff was one of the members of the Round Table and with her support the group was able to set a good foundation and expand .
It was similar to the growth of the Messiah Guild .
Then an incident occurred .
‘After that, they were attacked by the King of Poison…’
The King of Poison attacked the Round Table and the result…
‘…they were naturally absorbed by the Messiah Guild . ’
Because of that incident, the Knights of the Round Table were absorbed into the Messiah Guild and later became the members of Park Shin-hye’s personal guard within the Messiah Guild .
At the time, Kim Woo-jin hadn’t had any questions about the process .

However it was different now that Kim Woo-jin knew that the King of Poison actually worked for the Messiah Guild .
‘It was all a ploy . ’
He now knew that everything that had happened were situations created by the Messiah Guild in a build to control the whole world .
From a certain standpoint, it was enough to make one tremble in fear .
In fact, Kim Woo-jin felt a pain spreading across his chest .
The pain from the stab of a knife from the person whom he once trusted the most .
An indescribable anger welled up inside him .
‘Let’s be calm . It’s not too late to grasp the situation after this job is over . I just need to focus on this for now’
Kim Woo-jin forcefully suppressed his shivering .
‘If Yang Ji-hoo is the bodyguard…’
He did not mistake his prey or his mission .
A dog who mistook the prey was a crazy dog that could not be a hunting dog .
‘I’ll do my best . ’
So Kim Woo-jin had a decision to make .
“Inventory . ”
At that moment, Kim Woo-jin activated his inventory in a small voice .
The inventory appeared before him and an item caught his eye .
[Skill Stone(C)]
→Effect: Increase a skill of D rank to the C rank
→Cannot be traded
Kim Woo-jin had been saving this skill stone for a more valuable skill he intended to gain, but he used it at this moment .
“Use skill stone on Skeleton Warrior Mastery . ”
[Skeleton Warrior Mastery has increased by one rank . ]
[Skeleton Warrior Mastery]
Rank: C
Effect:
→Enhance the ability of summoned skeletons and increase the number of skeletons that can be summoned . Effect increases with
→skill rank .
→Skeleton Soldier stats increased by 20%

The notifications popped immediately .
“It is time to enter the dungeon! Please get ready!”
…
[Kill 3000 to advance to the next floor]
“What?”
“Three thousand?!”
Screams could be heard beside a stream that flowed loudly at the foot of a 2000 metre mountain .
“Fuck, what 3000?! This is a D-rank dungeon!”
“Bullshit! There must be an error!”
The screams came from the players when they saw the conditions to clear the first floor .
Of course, not all of them screamed, instead some of the players welcomed this situation .
‘If the objective is 3000, then it’s possible that they will probably be weak monsters . ’
‘If you look at it differently, they should be on the same level as goblins . ’
‘It’s better to kill 3000 monsters like goblins that fight a few strong monsters . ’
It was thanks to that that they believed that no strong monsters would appear .
Of course there were also those who didn’t know how to react to it .
“Tch”
Yang Ji-hoo was one of them .
Wearing black armor, he shook his head and tapped the sword at his waist .
“I didn’t put on such expensive gear to kill a couple goblins did I?”
Yang Ji-hoo who still had his hand on his sword turned to the man beside him, dressed in a robe .
“Kim Je-hoon, please say something . Should I use this expensive gear to hunt goblins?”
“For my life . ”
Only then did the man in the robes speak . Kim Je-hoon’s voice was filled with tension .
“The Underworld’s Kim Je-hoon is very, very good huh?”
Yang Ji-hoo laughed heartily .
‘Bloody fucker . ’
Kim Je-hoon boiled internally .
In actuality, the relationship between Kim Je-hoon and Yang Ji-hoo was not very good .
It was similar to two employees aiming for the attention of a senior executive . They were competitors .
Competitors who could not show gaps, weaknesses, or regrets to each other, even if they’re shown to everyone in the world .
‘This time, I have to catch Kim Woo-jin . ’
That was how desperate Kim Je-hoon was .
‘The Phoenix Guild and Skull Guild are at war, so the more I build my reputation, the greater their faith in me . ’
At this very moment, Kim Je-hoon’s life was at stake . Yang Ji-hoo looked at him with a smile .
“How many more did you bring besides me?”
Of course, it was obvious that Kim Je-hoon wouldn’t just rely on one Yang Ji-hoo .
“Five more people except you and your colleagues . ”
“Then eight people?”
Eight, including Yang Ji-hoo and his men . Quite a large number of personnel to hunt Kim Woo-jin .
“You must be rich . ”
The costs of this wouldn’t be small .
“Did you have to get a loan?”
“So noisy . ”
“Haha, I guess I got it . ”
Even the costs had to be borrowed .
From Kim Je-hoon’s perspective, it was inevitable .
‘It’s better to spend money to survive . ’
Whatever the cost, it didn’t matter as long as he could save his life .
‘Just need to survive . I just need to survive . ’
As long as he survived, when he finally became the rule of the world, he’d be able to look back at this moment with nostalgia .
For that future, spending money now is good .
Rather, he was relieved that he had enough for this much . The talents he had among him would be his trump card at the poker table . Of this, Kim Je-hoon was sure .
‘He’d never expect this . ’
Kim Woo-jin would never imagine .
