After a refreshing shower, Ah-rin changed into fluffy clothes.
“Woo. Thanks for preparing fresh new clothes, oppa!” Ah-rin said as she came out and saw Jung Si-woo wearing a motorcycle helmet from his inventory. She tilted her head in confusion.
“When did you buy the helmet again?” she asked.
“I prepared it when I bought a bike in case I was going to be on the media. Look, we need to go now.” Si-woo replied, his tone coated with a thin layer of impatience.
“Why the hurry?” Ah-rin asked curiously. “Wait, the media? Is there a problem?”
Ah-rin initially planned on asking him to take a shower after her. But the slight tension in Jung Si-woo’s whole body is very palpable, so she gestured to him to spill the beans.
Sighing, Jung Si-woo took off his helmet, and after checking the explorer for the last time, threw it into the inventory.
“The monster came out to the world,” he said with a tired face.
“What!?” she exclaimed.
There was no time to explain everything. Si-woo went straight out and got on the bike, Ah-rin following right behind him. Their destination was Sanha-dong. It was quite a distance, but Si-woo was they could make it if he drove fast.
“Ahhhhhh! The stop light! The light hasn’t changed yet!” Ah-rin’s screamed, her body flying backward as the motorcycle picked up speed.
“Hold on tight!” Si-woo ignored the girl’s cry and continued to drive.
He zig-zagged through the traffic, evading as many cars and road stops as he could. It was clear that he was very skilled at high-stakes pursuit. A large and young walked on the sidewalk, unaware of Si-woo’s motorcycle until it zoomed right past him. The pedestrian, frightened at the accident that could have been, quickly dodged. Si-woo drove so fast that had he crashed into anyone, they would be completely crushed, and their bodies probably unidentifiable.
“We’re going to fly!” Ah-rin tried to talk sense to Si-woo despite the panic in her voice. “They’ll suspend our licenses!”
“It’s okay,” Si-woo said, his voice slightly muffled by the air current, “I removed the license plate!”
Ah-rin couldn’t believe what she just heard. “You’re acting like a criminal! A responsible adult wouldn’t do this kind of thing!”
But Sin-woo was unstoppable. He had absolutely nothing to fear. His absurd reflexes and superior vision allowed him to dominate the road. He drove the bike as fast as lightning with all the skill and fluidity that one would only see in action movies. Only dark traces of wheels remained behind the drifts Si-woo made.
“Oppa, I think I’m going to be sick… Ugh…” Ah-rin said, nausea finally catching up to her.
“Don’t vomit,” Si-woo warned, obviously not interested in cleaning up any mess.
His driving skill was so superb that motorcycle race teams would have paid a thousand dollars to recruit him. But even the thought of that was not enough to satisfy Jung Si-woo as he increased the speed even more. Fortunately, for Ah-rin, who was barely holding on, they were getting closer to Sanha-dong.
“We should evacuate the nearby areas within 5 km radius around the dungeon,” Si-woo said, trying to distract Ah-rin from her dizziness.
“Is there really a monster?” Ah-rin asked, her voice thick with concern, “Sky castle monsters can never come out of the dungeon!”
None of this made any sense to her. And yet it was happening, and this made her nausea even worse.
“It may be a monster in the ant den.” Si-woo speculated.
Even Ah-rin’s heart froze at Jung Si-woo’s unexpected words. There has never been a single monster sighting in the world since the Sky Castle was created ten years ago. Why would they appear now?
“Is it because ant dens were created?” Ah-rin wondered.
“I’d laugh at your speculations, but I have similar feelings.” Si-woo replied, wanting to laugh at their situation but unable to.
If only it were just the appearance of a single monster, Jung Si-woo would not have needed to get involved. But the confirmation that a dungeon has appeared in Sanha-dong was not a mere coincidence. Something was up, and Si-woo did not like the unpleasant taste it was leaving in his mouth.
“I don’t want to be right about this,” Ah-rin began, her voice slightly trembling with fear, “but I think it’s clear that ant cave dungeon and the monsters spawning are somehow related to one another.”
“No.” Even Jung Si-woo could not judge that quickly. This was why he was driving as fast as he could. He needed to prove their worst suspicions wrong.
Fortunately for them and the rest of humanity, the dungeon at Sanha-dong isn’t much of a trouble for someone at Jung Si-woo’s level. The monsters there should not be any stronger than the ones they’ve faced before. They shouldn’t, at least, that’s what Si-woo and Ah-rin hoped.
“What about the players? Without having to rush like this, the players–”
Si-woo cut her off. “Auction day. Today is the day of the auction hosted by Haneulseong. Almost all players will be in the sky. There’s also no way to contact them because electronic devices are jammed in the Sky Castle and the dungeon. There’s no way to inform them of what’s happening her on the ground.”
“I see,” Ah-rin conceded, her worst fears suddenly taking root in her heart. This has to be the work of someone else. There’s no way that monsters spawning on the day everyone is absent is a mere coincidence. This was a calculated plan. Worse, the same thing could be happening in other places outside of Sanha-dong.
“Oppa, over there! People!” Ah-rin yelled.
As they got closer to Sanha-dong, they started seeing barrier lines hastily built by the police. The few police officers stationed to hold the line were trying their best to mask their obvious tension. Those new to the task did an even worse job of concealing their fear.
“Ahhhhhh!” “Shit!”
Jung Si-woo and Ah-rin heard screams as they entered the neighborhood. He stopped his motorcycle to investigate the source of the scream.
“Stop! There are monsters up in here! Too many of them!” cried the police.
The police officers who saw Jung Si-woo approach the barrier shouted in fear. But he ignored them, gears clutched. The police officers could not do anything except remain planted where they were, hoping for a miracle or salvation.
In an instant, the bike jolted up from the ground and jumped past the barrier line. The police officers could only watch in awe at the sight of Si-woo suspended in the air. It was like the slow-motion scenes they often see in movies whenever the hero would make a dramatic entrance before saving the day. Meanwhile, Jung Si-woo paid no attention to their starstruck gaze.
“The bike’s flying!” someone exclaimed.
Jung Si-woo landed on the ground without difficulty. Then, he stored the bike in his inventory. All the while, the policemen aimed their pistols at him, their admiration turned to fear.
“Are you a player!?” one of the police officers asked with a voice that almost trembled with fear.
But Si-woo didn’t answer. Instead, he turned away, ignoring them as if the guns ready to fire at him were of no consequence compared to the threat he was about to face.
Being this close, he could already sense everything: the presence of monsters that had no business being here; people hiding everywhere, desperate not to be caught; the battle cry of humans trying to fend off the monsters somehow; and the screams they made as they were slowly devoured. On the other side, the monsters laughed heartily in their twisted tongue, bellowing with joy at all the food they could eat.
“Oppa, over there! There really are monsters up in here!” shouted Ah-rin. Jung Si-woo turned his head to the direction she was looking at. A bipedal monster a bit smaller than humans stood there. It had brown skin and wore crappy leather clothes. A dailong nestled carefully at the palm of its hand.
“Goblin!” Ah-rin grumbled. “That’s one of the worst enemies for ordinary humans!”
“I wonder why we haven’t seen more of them so far,” Si-woo added.
The sound of their approach was loud enough to catch the goblin’s attention. It made a “kshaak” sound as it turned its attention at them. Quickly, Si-woo picked up a big stone on the ground and threw it with tremendous force towards the goblin’s head, several meters away. His aim was perfect, as usual. The stone hit its target and the goblin’s burst.
“Wow! You know how to play baseball too?” Ah-rin asked, almost teasing.
“I used to throw stones at wild boars when I was in the army.” Si-woo casually replied. One of Si-woo’s fond memories was that of a wild boar with a broken skull from a stone he lightly threw.
Jung Si-woo gathered some stones around him as he recalled the past. When he had gathered enough, he raised his head and let out a loud scream.
“Ai-hhhhh!!!” Mana infused his shout and made it unnaturally loud. Nearby monsters turned their head towards him, stimulated by the battle cry of a challenger that wanted to face them.
[You have acquired Active Skill War Cry.]
[War Cry Lv1]
[Cries out a shout to provoke the enemy by consuming mana. It evokes hostile feelings toward the caster, and the greater the difference in intelligence and magic, the greater the effect.]
“Come out, monsters!!” Si-woo challenged.
“Ahhhhhh! What is this? They really popped out!” Ah-rin trembled as the heads of dozens of monsters suddenly pop up from everywhere.
Si-woo began disposing of the monsters, even those that were hidden inside the dungeon. He had no talent for such things, but he had some experience in creating violent uproars. He pulled them all one by one and eliminated them quickly. Using his [Warcry] skill, he made all the goblins nearby charge at him with frenzy before meeting their end at his hands.
“Key gig! Gahkuek!” A goblin gibbered in its tongue.
It came to aid its fellow goblin that had just fallen, but it too met its untimely demise soon after, joining its friend in the afterlife. Not soon after, something flew from the opposite direction the goblin came from and struck Jung Si-woo. It looked like a metallic shaft. From the look of it, it seemed that it was shot using something similar to the Daerong. The blue liquid at its tip suggested that it was poisoned.
“Hmm.”
“What are you doing?” Ah-rin asked, worried for Si-woo
Jung Si-woo picked up the shaft with his finger and stabbed himself with it as far as he could. The goblin who shot him laughed with satisfaction.
[You were hit by a minor paralysis poison. Poison Resistance Lv5 is disabled.]
“Okay, it doesn’t work that much.” Si-woo said nonchalantly
“Such an ignorant experiment.” Ah-rin shook her head.
If more goblins start to appear, there’s a high possibility that they would get stung in places not covered by their armor. They needed a change of strategy. But if poison resistance were enough to prevent any real damage, there wouldn’t be any need to worry.
“Ooh, the significance of my existence is increasing.” Si-woo teased. He seemed like he was enjoying the moment.
“So try to be helpful. Put a little more effort.” Ah-rin nagged at him.
Using his fingers, he threw the shaft at one of the goblins. Even with just his bare hands, he threw it accurately and far enough that it pierced the goblin’s neck, stinging it with the poison they meant to use against their prey.
With his power factored in, the shaft’s strength that hit the goblin was much stronger than when it was shot at him.
“Kiiaaak! Queek!” a goblin screeched.
“There! Human with lot of mana!” one of them, their twisted monster tongue trying to speak a language not meant for them.
In the instant Jung Si-woo appeared, three goblins fell lifeless on the ground. The other goblins who watched from a distance shook in terror and called for support. Like a sniper armed with crude weapons, he threw stones at them one by one, their heads breaking at the impact. The more he paraded himself, the more frightened the monsters became.
“Human!”
“Die!”
Stingers flew from all directions and stuck to Si-woo’s body. He screamed again, clearing only what was flying to his face. But his scream was not that of pain, no, it was a battle cry for the next wave of murder he was about to commit.
“Is this all you goblins could do? Since you guys secretly hide every time and deal with weak humans, aren’t you going to skip your turn in fantasy novels and go straight to orcs?”
“Kii-i-i-pron!”
“We are strong! Beat the Orcs!”
The effect of the taunt was successful. They were smart enough to use tools, but they were still too stupid to fall for such simple tricks. In a matter of seconds, they too were wiped out.
“Help!”
With the nearby goblins gone, humans who were hiding began calling for help. Jung Si-woo approached a woman who asked for help. She couldn’t move because of a paralyzing posing shot at her. Worse, he saw a bite wound on her arm.
“I-! was g-going to be e-eaten…?” the woman whimpered, her voice cracking at the trauma of a near-death experience she just went through.
Si-woo didn’t answer. He was worried that the other goblins would notice him and the defenseless woman. Meanwhile, the woman continued to tremble, her thoughts nearly incomprehensible from shock.
“It t-tried to e-eat me… It tried to m-make me f-food. Food!” She continued.
Oddly, all Si-woo could think of at the moment were all those cliched 19 gold cartoons he watched before. Si-woo imagined a scene where a goblin kidnapped a human woman, fell in love, and decided to deflect to the other side. But of course, that was not the case here. The goblins came to kill and satisfy their primordial hunger with human meat.
“This isn’t a safe place to stay in. Inside the building would be a much safer place to hide in. You should be safe there. If something comes up, shout and I’ll be there.” Si-woo told the woman in an effort to lessen her trembling.
“Yes, yes.” She said, slowly regaining her senses.
Even with the woman on his shoulders, Jung Si-woo still skillfully threw stones at the goblins, killing them on the spot. The woman knew then and there that nothing she does could ever be enough to repay him.
“There is a swarm of monsters at the crossroads and in the buildings across it,” the woman, finally shaking off some of her fear, warned Si-woo, “there are also many people hiding there too.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Jung Si-woo took the woman in a safe place and continued the fight. News about him was spreading more and more all over Sanha-dong, and the number of goblins who found him and rushed to fight with him also increased. When Jung Si-woo ran out of stones to pick up, he punched the ground and turned the hard asphalt into debris he could pick up and use as ammunition.
The number of goblins increased every few seconds with every successful taunt. But Jung Si-woo’s expression doesn’t look pleased anymore.
“I need a ranged attack. It’s not a dungeon, but it’s not wise to deal with guys popping out from all sides in such a wide area,” Si-woo told Ah-rin.
“What about magic or skills?” she suggested.
That was a good point. It will also be a chance to get used to the skill, Si-woo thought.
As a test, he lifted his finger and fired a magic bullet. It hit a goblin in the head, causing it to stagger and suffer.
“It’s weaker than a stone?” he looked at his finger, surprised.
“It’s not that it is weak, but my oppa is ignorant.”
When they reached the crossroad, Jung Si-woo caught sight of a monster overwhelmingly larger than the other goblins. It jumped from the rooftop of the shopping mall where he left the woman he had saved.
“Quaahahahahah!”
A huge, muscular body 2 meters high roared unlike that of any goblin. Its monstrous gaze was pointed exactly at Jung Si-woo, challenging him for a duel. Jung Si-woo was amazed by its stats other than his strength.

“Also…” Si-woo pointed out. His teeth were scattered, he thought.
It was clear that the situation was turning into shit.
After a refreshing shower, Ah-rin changed into fluffy clothes.
“Woo. Thanks for preparing fresh new clothes, oppa!” Ah-rin said as she came out and saw Jung Si-woo wearing a motorcycle helmet from his inventory. She tilted her head in confusion.
