see them through the abnormal weather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hoo…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yeongwoo’s thoughts reached this point, he suddenly felt his heart racing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was excited to have reached the hidden elements of this world that no one had discovered so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this also a trait of the

me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a resentful expression, Yeongwoo took another step towards the pyramid, and a whirlpool began to swirl in front of the pyramid, opening up space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whiirrrr!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, this was…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘A portal.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the entrance to this dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘But we need two more people.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a disappointed expression, Yeongwoo peered into the portal and discovered numbers written inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[0\u002F3]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this didn’t change the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It simply meant that there was currently nobody inside this dungeon that required a total of three people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Too bad.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, since he was already here, should he take a look inside the dungeon anyway?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the excitement had waned a bit, there was still some potential gain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, now that he knew the appearance conditions of the dungeon, he could eventually recruit two more warriors and explore the dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Anyway, let’s go in and do some preliminary exploration…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yeongwoo thought this, as he was about to step into the portal…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[1\u002F3]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number inside the portal changed to

this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless it was a system error, the current situation implied something significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be… someone is inside…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but think so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, who entered the dungeon from where?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that’s the case, it means there are multiple entrances.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More precisely, someone came out tonight and summoned another dungeon from somewhere else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sssaaat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Yeongwoo drew his black sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with heightened vigilance, he walked into the portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>* * *\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In games or novels, it generally refers to ‘dimensional gates’ or ‘spatial transportation.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, the core function of a portal is to instantly transport the user to their destination, no matter how far it may be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Yeongwoo once wondered what it would feel like to experience portal movement in real life whenever he used portals in games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Translator –

through the portal was very short, he didn’t feel anything during that time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite taking just a few steps forward, he found himself in an entirely different place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a spacious room that resembled an ancient ruin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yeongwoo, who had passed through the portal, instinctively stepped on the floor, he immediately heard a chilling sound from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shiriririk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the sound of the portal closing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, Yeongwoo turned around, but the portal had already disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, someone who had been leaning against the opposite wall approached him, speaking with a voice that felt surprisingly welcoming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry at all! You can leave anytime you want if you wish! But you shouldn’t leave yet!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What… what do you mean?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Yeongwoo realize that he had belatedly decided to be cautious of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Who’s there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, startled, aren’t you? It seems like everyone experiences that when using portals for the first time. Your memory blanks out for a moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only then that Yeongwoo noticed a large brazier in the center of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And on this brazier, there were numbers written in the same format as what he had seen in the portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[2\u002F3]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It was 1\u002F3 before, but now it changed to 2\u002F3.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Presumably, it was the result of the person on the other side of the brazier and the one on this side chatting incessantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, two out of the required three for dungeon exploration had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And amidst all this, the other person continued to speak without pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, shall we take a leisurely look at each other? I’m so curious about what you’re like.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo finally understood why the other person couldn’t stay still like a restless puppy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you happen to be here yesterday too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yeongwoo asked this, the figure across the brazier responded with a much more animated voice than before, clapping enthusiastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, how did you know…! That’s right! I stayed up all night yesterday waiting, but nobody came!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the somewhat ridiculous tone, it meant that the other person was undoubtedly a skilled individual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It meant that they had been able to pass through the abnormal weather for two consecutive days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either they were incredibly lucky or they had equipment that could ignore all weather conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, let’s slowly move to the right, shall we? Let’s see each other’s faces.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, they didn’t seem to be particularly sharp-witted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Um, whose right are we talking about? If we each go our own right, we’ll never meet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh…! That’s right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You should come out to the right from your perspective. Then I’ll move accordingly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other person readily accepted Yeongwoo’s suggestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And finally…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang, clang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the brazier between them, the two who had only exchanged voices began to close the distance little by little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as their faces gradually became visible under the light…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh… Oh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What… what’s going on?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them couldn’t help but stiffen their expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, you… for an Asian… you’re tall.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re Sicilian… aren’t you from Italy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was Korean, and the other was from Sicily, Italy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Gyeongbuk’s Strongest Sword』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Guardian Sword of Sicily』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two people from opposite sides of the Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Oh my god.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo had a premonition that this dungeon was a place accessible to people from all over the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if that were the case…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Um, wait a moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A very strange sensation, or rather something close to fear, began to creep from the elbow to the back of the neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you just say? Didn’t you say you waited all night yesterday?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the Italian swallowed heavily and looked around anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes… I waited alone all night yesterday and then went back. But why are you saying this all of a sudden? It’s a little scary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon this, Yeongwoo felt as if his heart had stopped, so he briefly placed his hand on his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What day was it on the second day of the reset?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was the second day.
