[Master, the gate has opened]I, who had been preparing all along, jumped towards the white vortex that was getting smaller and smaller. It was only a matter of seconds before I landed on the roof of a building. Before taking a step, I scanned around to make sure there were no creatures around me.[WARNING!][BULLET FROM 2 O'CLOCK]Unprepared, I immediately ran forward and hid behind a wall. And soon there was the sound of bullets hitting concrete.I stayed behind the wall for a long time, shocked because I still did not understand what had happened. How could someone attack me in Smoky Hollow?"Is there anyone else in Smoky Hollow besides me, Newt?"[I did not see any other people in this dungeon, Master]I frowned at Newt's answer and said lyrically, as if in a whisper. "Then, what shot me earlier?""Pistol!"With the gun in my hand, I came out of hiding and stepped forward. I looked left and right before finally walking towards a door. I quickly opened the door and walked down the
Ever since I met Orchid Lanston at the auction, I've been curious about him. I had heard that the owner of Victoria Corp. was over forty, almost fifty years old. However, the person I saw was still very young. In fact, I originally thought he was in his early thirties.But after seeing the photos on the Internet, I was convinced that the person at the auction was indeed him.How can someone not age? I was surprised and amazed that Mr Lanston's face had not changed at all.Even from a distance I could see that there were no wrinkles on his face. Looks like beauty technology has improved a lot. I then held my cheeks with both hands. Should I start going to a beauty clinic to have my face done so I can be like Mr Lanston?I quickly dismissed the feminine thoughts that had suddenly flashed through my mind. I shuddered at the thought of spending hours in a beauty clinic.No! No! It's embarrassing.I focused on the article in front of me. I printed out everything I could find on the interne
"I'm not going to the office today," I said to Olivia, who was waiting for me. She, who had been looking down, lifted her face and looked at me with a questioning look.She looked curious, but didn't ask anything and decided to follow me into the dining room."You take care of the company for a few days, I have important business.""Yes, sir." I raised an eyebrow when I heard Olivia's reply. It was rare for the girl to obey immediately when I gave her an order.I clasped my hands together, using my elbows as a fulcrum on the table. "Are you okay?" Somehow, I found Olivia's submissive nature odd. She should have asked why, or at least where I was going.When she heard my question, Olivia looked confused. She, who had been looking down, now looked up at me so that our eyes met. I don't know what happened, but my heart sank when I saw the depth of her eyes. I cleared my throat and looked away, trying to make the strange feeling go away."I'm fine. Why are you asking me that?""You're so
"Whoa...!" I screamed as my body shook from the golem walking and its hands moving up and down, making me feel like I was on a rollercoaster.Occasionally, the golem would stop, but then it would start walking again. I always took the opportunity when the golem stopped to crush its fingers. However, it seemed to be in vain, as the fingers would grow back in one piece as before."Isn't there something I can use to destroy this golem, Newt?" I asked, my voice shaking as my body continued to shake.[Since golems are the result of magic, they can be destroyed by greater magical power.]"That is highly unlikely. I don't have that ability."I felt in the midst of the shock. I opened my inventory to see if there was anything I could use against this golem.Motorbike, scent stone, happy spirit pendant, strength stone, dark elixir, hammer, sword, and arrow. My pistol had fallen somewhere. If only my Happy Spirit Pendant had reached level 10, I might have been able to use it to get lucky this t
I had just thrown a hammer at the golem in front of me. This was the second golem I had encountered in the dungeon. The golem's head had formed a hole to reveal its life stone. I closed one eye to lock on to the target, and once locked on, I shot an arrow at the stone.[GOLEM LEVEL 1 +200,000 COINS][ARROW HAS REACHED LEVEL 6][POWER: 200 HP]After the message appeared, the bow I was holding changed shape, becoming bigger but lighter. Curious, I raised my hand to examine the bow more closely."Wow, this is really cool."The shape was more modern than the old bow and I am sure the string was more powerful than before.I was stunned for a while, until I decided to go hunting golems again. But before I resumed my hunt, I went to the place where the golem had disappeared to pick up the fallen reward.[SCENT STONE][DARK ELIXIR][DARK ELIXIR]This was the most rewarding reward given by a single creature I had hunted. Usually only one reward was given, and even then, there were some that ga
[You must enter the gate immediately, Master. The gates will be closing soon.]I could faintly hear Newt's voice. I opened my eyes and saw the white circle in front of me shrinking. I stumbled towards the white hole. But after only a few steps, my body collapsed.My vision was blurred and the gate to Smoky Hollow was no longer clearly visible. I took a deep breath, although it was a little difficult, as if there was a big lump in my throat. I concentrated on being able to use my healing abilities. Shortly afterwards I felt my body warm up. When I opened my eyes, the white hole in front of me was clearly visible again.[You only have a few seconds left, Master. Ten... nine ....]I got up quickly and ran towards the gate, which was only about the size of a car tyre.[Four... three... two...]I breathed a sigh of relief as I managed to get inside the gate before it closed completely. And within seconds, I was transported. Although I managed to use the healing skill, my body had not fully
It did not take long for me to make a full recovery. I removed the drip from my arm after feeling my body return to its original state."You should rest more, sir. Your body hasn't fully recovered yet," Olivia commented as she watched me remove my IV."I'm already fine, Oliv. My body can heal quickly. Didn't you know that yourself when I was shot in the shoulder?"I saw Olivia pause for a moment, as if returning to that memory. "Yes, sir. Even within hours, the bullet wound on your body had completely disappeared." She said quietly, between doubt and certainty.I just smiled faintly and walked past her to the bathroom in my room."You can go back to the office. I'm already fine.""Yes, sir. Shall I ask one of the maids to accompany you?"My hand was already on the bathroom doorknob. I was about to turn it when I postponed my intention and turned to Olivia instead. "No, thanks."It seems Olivia has learned a lot. She no longer argues with me. Olivia just nodded like a cute cat."Yes, s
"Alchemist?" I frowned as I read the message in front of me. "What's that? I've never heard of that. Is it someone who makes potions, Newt?"It sounded so strange. I had only learned about chemistry in high school, but I had never heard of alchemists.[One of them. An alchemist would be able to create precious potions as well as lucky stones.]I was amazed. That sounded really cool."Is that good, Newt?"[It can be good if you use your powers for good. But it can also be bad if you misuse your abilities. An alchemist can make not only healing potions, but also deadly poisons]I fell silent for a moment at Newt's words. It would be terrible if someone could create a poison that could influence other people's minds to obey their commands. If this potion could really be created, it would certainly be able to rule the world.I looked at the cover of the book I was holding. There were letters engraved on the bottom that made me curious."GH?"What does the letter "GH" mean? Could they be t
