Before we could even ask, Seo Ji-han turned his back and left somewhere.
No one here dared to catch him.
It went away without any time to catch it, and it looked like it was too busy looking for something.
After he left, employee Seo Min-su opened his mouth with an excited face.
“This is my first time seeing it in real life, and I can’t believe the rumors. “I thought you would just pretend not to notice.”
“But the face is real. Wow, you look like some kind of celebrity. “I felt it when I saw her on TV, but I heard she looks good after becoming an awakened person?”
Assistant Manager Cheolsu Kim, what do you mean by that?
Is this my first time seeing this?
Have I become prettier?
I didn’t have that feeling when I looked in the mirror in the morning.
What, am I the only one exempt from awakened benefits?
It’s sad that I only received one gathering skill, but I didn’t even get to improve my appearance?
While I was feeling aggrieved, our assistant manager Kim put together a tune.
“Iknow, right. He’s handsome and nicer than rumored. I didn’t think civilians like us would notice, but they even provided us with escape seats. Conductor, that’s an escape seat, right?”
“Yes, it is a multi-person escape seat. Capacity… … .”
The conductor, who was fiddling with the escape seat and reading the inlaid letters, paused.
When she suddenly closed her mouth, everyone became anxious and started talking behind their backs.
“Why are you doing this?”
“Why the capacity?”
“Is there a problem?”
The market manager who asked the last question seemed to be having a hard time.
He had lost a lot of blood and seemed to be losing consciousness.
The conductor must have read the earnestness on his face and answered stiffly.
“Escape seats for 5 people.”
ah.
Market manager, Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo, Senior Investigator, Deputy Manager, Assistant Manager Kim, and me.
There were a total of six people here.
It was then that I realized what it meant to take care of the rest.
This is an escape seat for 5 people, so one out of six people must remain here.
It is up to us to decide who will stay.
An uncomfortable silence fell.
Everyone came here because they wanted to live.
No one wanted to die.
Until now, I have survived seeing so many deaths.
I didn’t want to die.
I didn’t want to be eaten by a kingfisher.
“Give it to me.”
Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo came forward with a determined look on his face.
“What are you going to do?”
When the deputy manager was alerted, he glanced at the market manager who was lying with a pale face, and then walked towards him with a determined look on his face.
“We can’t take any more time. If this goes on any longer, this person will die. Then, naturally, there will be five people. “If you’re not deliberately taking time for that, please give it to me right away.”
That was correct.
The market manager’s life was dying by the minute.
Without him, we wouldn’t have been able to withstand the attack of the C-class Chungwang.
I had no intention of sacrificing my lifesaver.
The manager looked at the dying market manager’s face for a moment, then his face hardened as if he had made up his mind.
And then he activated the escape stone in his hand.
A group of intense lights burst out from the small stone and soon turned into a shimmering gate of blue light.
It’s an escape gate.
With that door in front of him, the conductor actually took a step back.
“go. “I will stay.”
“yes?”
Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo, who was very wary, probably thought that the deputy manager would activate the door and our team would go in first, made a dumbfounded noise.
Next, our Assistant Manager Kim jumped up.
“What are you talking about? “Conductor!”
“Let’s go. This isn’t a door that stays open all the time.”
5 minutes at most.
Maybe even shorter.
Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo stared at the deputy manager with an expression as if he couldn’t continue speaking, and then bowed his head.
“sorry.”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about.”
There was no time, so the conversation ended there.
Assistant Manager Cheol-soo Kim and Min-soo Seo took the market manager with them and disappeared inside the gate, leaving only me, the Deputy Manager, and Assistant Manager Kim.
“You two, go quickly.”
“But, conductor….”
Assistant Manager Kim cried and grabbed the Deputy Manager.
But the conductor was adamant.
“The door will close.”

As he said, the gate was shaking uneasily.
It looks like it will close at any moment.
Still, when the assistant manager did not enter the gate and was just shedding tears, the conductor finally sighed and hugged the assistant manager.
“I said it’s okay… … . “I’m really going now.”
The assistant manager said this was his first company.
I often said in passing and during drinks that I would have quit the company if it weren’t for the deputy manager.
I also agreed.
And I answered like this.
‘You too, assistant manager.’
‘yes?’
‘If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to go this long.’
When I see two people embracing each other, past memories come to mind.
The hand that gently tapped my shoulder when I came out of the bathroom crying due to the market manager’s verbal abuse.
Sweet drinks in front of you.
The deputy manager who protected me by criticizing the team leader who made mistakes when giving work instructions and blaming me.
Assistant Manager Kim pushed away the Team 1 leader who was groping me at a dinner party and dragged me out, asking if a fresh new member had arrived.
And when they themselves were in a scary situation, they first tried to hide me in a gap in the wall.
The light from the shimmering gate was slowly fading as if it would go out any moment now.
Okay, I’ve decided.
I will do the right thing.
I ran with all the strength in my body.
And then he pushed the two people who were hugging and pushed them into the gate.
Son Moa’s body headbutt is explosive!
“Mr. Moa!”
The gate that swallowed the two people closed with the conductor’s final, death-like scream.
All that remains is silence and me.
Finally, as a man alone, I suddenly felt fear.
But I have no regrets.
it will work out somehow.
No matter what happens in the future, it’s obviously better for me to stay here than for you to stay here alone.
Because I am an awakened person.
Yes, I am an awakened person.
Even though my combat power is at civilian level, I am better than the non-awakened ones.
Excellent, Son Moa.
Be brave, put your hands together.
No matter how hard you try to cheer yourself up, you can’t help but feel scared.
Perhaps because of my mood, I even felt like I could hear a strange cry from afar, like ‘Geouh’.
can do.
I’m not scared. It’s really not scary.
Okay. It’s true.
I’m not scared. I’m not scared… … .
It’s scary too.
Since I was left alone, it seemed like a monster would come here at any moment.
It looks like Seo Ji-han is going to come kicking in through the hole he came out of.
No, he won’t come.
Seo Ji-han went out there.
I must have killed all the monsters around me on the way out.
Look, it’s quiet.
It’s really quiet.
I feel more anxious because it’s quiet.
But if you just stay anxious, nothing will happen.
You’re not left alone without thinking. All that’s left is to make your own plan.
Although I am alone now, Seo Ji-han, who is ranked #1 in this dungeon, is there.
Find him, ask him to kill a monster, then use your gathering skill to extract the magic stone, destroy the magic stone, and escape, right?
Isn’t that a neat plan?
Easy, easy.
To do that, we must first find Seo Ji-han.
Will you listen to my request?
Well, he didn’t seem like such a bad person. You also gave me an escape seat.
I won’t just say I don’t know.
That’s not the real problem.
Would it be okay if I revealed my hidden skills in front of him?
I don’t think I have any choice but to let you know that I’ve awakened and ask you to collect it, so I’ll pass.
But it’s not a good idea to have your hidden skills revealed.
No, it’s not very good.
I asked him to let me gather just once, so I let him do it, and he pulled out a magic stone?
There’s no way I can just say, wow, I’m a bit lucky.
You will definitely notice a causal relationship.
I suddenly got the creeps thinking I might get my nose pierced by the collection shuttle, but what can I do if I can’t think of a better plan?
And it’s number 1 in the rankings.
Wouldn’t there be any harm in getting to know each other?
If I go into the dungeon with him, I don’t think there will be much danger, and when Seo Ji-han finishes hunting, I just gather behind the scenes and give him a certain amount of items.
Hmm, I think it’s okay.
As I slurped down the kimchi soup from the jar, I left this deserted place.
Even if I were to go find him, I had no idea where to go, but fortunately, it wasn’t difficult to track him down.
Seo Ji-han left his traces everywhere.
The walls and floor of the road he passed were full of small holes reminiscent of perforated boards.
Just like it did when the C-class chungwangryu died. I felt like there was a hole in my body, and then it disappeared.
The chrysanthemum probably had already died the moment the hole was opened.
And the body disappeared after being picked up right away.
These are clearly traces of Seo Ji-han’s battle. If you follow this trail, you will be able to meet him.
There was silence everywhere as I walked along the holey floor and walls.
There was no longer a scream or a sound of Chungwangryu’s footsteps.
An empty dungeon where everyone who is about to die has died and everyone who has left has left.
In fact, I expected that along the way, I might be able to find one or two monster corpses that Seo Ji-han left behind without rooting.
However, no matter how meticulous the rooting was, nothing remained except traces of battle.
Since he was number 1 in the rankings, I thought he would have a lot of money and not be greedy for items, but he turns out to be surprisingly frugal.
By the way, I followed him shortly after he left and I wonder how far he had gone in that time.
No matter how much I walked, there was no sign of the battle ending.
I think I walked for almost an hour.
At first, I walked like a thief, with my eyes wide open, but as I couldn’t hear anything for a long time, my tension was greatly relieved.
Seo Ji-han cleaned the monster surprisingly cleanly.
“oh.”
After walking for a while, I came across an unexpected object.
