Chapter 127

[Title: Hunting Certification]

(Spider monster leg lifted for hunting certification meme)

Is this how I certify it?

I came here because they said it was a gold mine, but the numbers are less than I expected.

– Head of the Gallery*) You should check your deposits.

– Author) Oh wow, they really do give them. Thanks!

– ㅇㅇ Currently in the dungeon, the monster is slim.

– Water manipulation is super slow, lol.

– Hunters from other areas gathered, and the dungeon is getting wrecked, damn it.

The power of the double experience event was strong.

The Gallery Doctor caught a variant monster, Arachne, not just an ordinary monster.

There were still many monsters left in the dungeon, but hunters rushed in and wiped them out.

“I didn’t know it would be this effective.”

It was one week.

It took just one week to raid that huge dungeon completely.

It was no wonder they limited the number of entrants; the queue was way beyond two digits.

[Notice: Arachne Dungeon Waiting List]

Author: Head of the Gallery*

This is the waiting list for rental slots.

Please write your number in the comments and wait.

Rental time – 10 hours

Waiting number – 52 people

[Recommended 3121] [Not Recommended 62]

– Damn, why is the line so long?

– I’m at the dungeon, and the line is ridiculously long, lol.

– But is it worth it to do this?

– Yeah, just think of it as a break while waiting.

– Is double the hourly wage a joke to you?

Even with restrictions, there were tons of applicants.

At this point, finding monsters was as rare as treasure hunting.

– Monster ← If I don’t see it, downvote, lol.

– Damn, I came way too late.

– What’s the point of double if there are no monsters? I wish a wave would hit instead.

Now, even Gallums were appearing who wished for a wave to happen.

“It won’t burst.”

But where has a wave ever easily burst?

There were conditions for a wave’s occurrence.

The appearance and neglect of variant monsters.

Whether monsters existed near a rift.

How long it had been since the rift itself was created, etc.

“But Arachne is dead.”

Dungeon monsters? They were affected by the double experience event.

There was no way a wave could burst.

– (Real Elf Con)

– You’re seriously bragging about this for a week? Lol.

– If you ever have something to invest, be sure to tell me.

– Is losing all your money your hobby?

– You’ll end up making a reverse investment.

– Oh.

– Author) Damn it.

[Title: Breaking News) Victory]

(Picture of roasting marshmallows near a rift)

(Hunters gathering to buy)

Roasted marshmallows have been sold vigorously for a week, lol.

Looks like I made a profit of 5000 mana pills, lol.

So, doesn’t this mean my victory?

[Recommended 1202] [Not Recommended 3121]

– Seriously, 5000?????

– Wow, how much did you make?

– The skill is for the hunters, but the money…

– It’s really these bastards who make money, huh.

All that remained were hunters leaving messages in the deserted lower dungeon.

“It’s about time for the event to end.”

Just then, when I was about to post the event ending message.

– Huh? The rift looks unusual.

– Why is the color changing?

– ??? Wait a sec,

– Oh damn, wait a moment, Head of the Gallery, this is bizarre!

“Hmm?”

The latest post from the Gallery seemed unusual.

All the titles were urgent.

As I clicked on one to understand what was happening…

[Title: Head of the Gallery, hurry up, something big is happening]

(Picture of the rift turning red)

(Picture of monsters bursting out soon)

Damn, it looks like a wave is about to burst suddenly?

Should I stop this? Or should I flee?

“Huh? Why?”

The wave was about to burst at a completely unexpected timing.

*

The conditions for a wave’s activation were simple.

There should be monsters nearby.

Even one variant monster could trigger a burst, and the risk increased with more monsters.

“But why did it burst?”

But there were no monsters near the rift inside the dungeon.

In that moment of confusion, I realized.

Strictly speaking, there were none.

“Could it be that the dungeon itself counts as a monster?”

The dungeon’s internal structure frequently changed.

Now that I think about it, it was strange.

How can a structure change its form by itself?

But.

If the dungeon itself was a living entity, it wouldn’t be impossible.

– Head of the Gallery, damn it, what should we do!!!!

– Stop it? Or let it go? Stop it?

– (Hunter Con holding his head)

I had jokingly said I wouldn’t mind if a wave hit.

Hunters came to earn money, after all.

Haha, but I really didn’t expect it to happen.

Hunters fell into a panic with the sudden wave.

Of course, I was just as bewildered.

“We have to stop the dungeon itself?”

The massive dungeon itself was triggering a wave.

As long as the dungeon was alive, stopping the wave was impossible.

[Notice: It’s Me]

Author: Head of the Gallery*

(Picture of Arachne Dungeon)

It seems like the dungeon itself is a living creature.

We won’t be able to stop the wave anyway.

So just everyone run away.

[Recommended 4112] [Not Recommended 5]

– Tsk, in the end, is this a run-ending?

– But there’s nothing we can do, lol.

– Honestly, with such a large dungeon being a creature, what can we do?

– Really, this time, even the Head of the Gallery has no choice.

– Even the Head of the Gallery can’t handle it?

– It’s bad if even he can’t do anything.

– The crack really is a hellscape.

So I posted the notice.

The dungeon’s structure keeps changing.

It would be disadvantageous to stop the wave inside.

When I left a message to run away, the Gallums showed slightly startled reactions.

[Title: Honestly, if surprised, downvote, lol]

Author: Head of the Gallery, is he a god?

I expected him to pull out some amazing magic to stop the wave, right?

It was honestly surprising to hear Head of the Gallery say to run away for the first time.

[Recommended 12] [Not Recommended 0]

– For real.

– I read the notice to run away and immediately ran.

– Isn’t this a serious problem?

[Title: So should we just respond from above?]

(Picture of hunters escaping outside the rift)

But isn’t there more than one or two exits in the dungeon?

How should we know where it will come out and stop it?

It’s really hopeless, lol;

[Recommended 102] [Not Recommended 2]

– Can’t we just abandon the dungeon?

– Will monsters eat us in Elard?

– (Elf Con hitting wildly)

Until now, the Gallums haven’t worried much about any incident.

They’d usually resolved everything easily with the items purchased from the shop.

Rather than saying to run away, they used to resolve it with items.

“Was saying to run away really that shocking?”

Is that why?

After uploading the notice, the Gallery fell into a half-panic.

The first time a dungeon wave appeared, even the Head of the Gallery couldn’t stop it. It was a crisis of the Second Great War, and so on.

A barrage of conspiracy theories, sneak attack nuke memes, and despair mixed together in chaos.

Excellent Doc: Mr. Head of the Gallery, everyone has been evacuated. But there’s a question.

Just then, I got in touch with the Gallery Doctor, who had successfully fled with some hunters to a certain area.

Head of the Gallery*: ㅇㅇ What is it?

Excellent Doc: Is this incident very dangerous? Your command to flee is surprising.

Excellent Doc: Many gallery assholes have replaced joy and fear in the notification.

Head of the Gallery*: Oh that?

The Excellent Doc sent me a picture of anxious hunters.

Even the Gallery Doctor seemed surprised by the unusual response.

I was about to explain to him but halted.

“Showing him directly would be faster, right?”

Head of the Gallery*: Where are you guys now?

Excellent Doc: We’ve moved to a hill nearby. This place is safe.

Head of the Gallery*: ㅇㅇ Well done…

“Everyone evacuated safely, right?”

I glanced at my watch.

There wasn’t much time left before the hour struck.

Head of the Gallery*: Watch towards the dungeon in three…

Excellent Doc: Three? Are you talking about three minutes or three hours?

Head of the Gallery*: 2

Head of the Gallery*: 1

Excellent Doc: omg

Excellent Doc: Something big is coming?

0.

The moment the time fully hit, I looked through the Gallery Doctor towards the dungeon.

Something was slicing through the air from the sky, heading straight for the dungeon.

– Hey, what’s that?

– Something is flying toward the dungeon?

– Oh damn!

The Gallery soon started mentioning the gigantic flying object.

Soon that something pierced through the ground and crashed deep into the dungeon.

– KAAAMM!

With an incredible roar, the ground.

No, all floors of the dungeon.

Even the surrounding forest began to be engulfed in black flames.

– Ahhh! What the hell!!

– Wait, what’s going on???

– Hahaha, it’s the end, the whole world is burning!!!

The once clear sky rapidly turned into a hellscape, stained with black smoke.

“I didn’t want to use this…”

[GBU-28] – 140,000p

A bunker buster developed by America.

The gigantic dungeon began to collapse entirely.

And the blue forest instantly turned into hell.

The dungeon itself is a problem, huh?

Then die.

I was already thinking about using the bunker buster.

*

In a lonely abandoned castle restaurant.

At the end of a long table sat 곧죽흡 alone; Erzebet was extremely excited.

The Gallery was currently noisy with dungeon gossip, but today, it didn’t matter to her.

“…Finally.”

Today being Wednesday.

It was also the day she received a small amount of blood from Head of the Gallery.

She dropped a few drops of blood into her cola.

Of course, sometimes she felt an urge to drink raw blood completely…

“Ugh, I have to endure.”

To hold on for a week, there was no other choice.

Just as she excitedly put cola in her mouth.

“…?”

The expression of Erzebet, who had been filled with excitement, suddenly grew cold.

It didn’t taste like usual.

With hesitation, she put a drop of raw blood in her mouth, and in that moment, she felt certain.

“…It smells like a Succubus.”

The taste of the blood from Head of the Gallery was mixed with a scent of desire she had never felt before.

With a cold expression, Erzebet left the restaurant and began walking somewhere.
