“We’re rich!”

This time, it wasn’t something I said.

It was what Kim Chae-eun said while calculating our earnings at my house.

After we finished conquering the stained Rock Pile dungeon.

The most shocking thing was still Yoo Eun-seol becoming an academy instructor, but we still had something important left to do.

Dividing the dungeon conquest rewards.

We had to calculate the various items, magic stones, and monster byproducts.

“Hehe. Pretty.”

Chae-eun neatly organized the items on the table in the living room.

With the expensive equipment laid out, the table looked like a store display.

That table sure is unnecessarily long.

When did I get something like that in the house?

I asked Chae-eun with a broad grin.

“Chae-eun, Ms. Yoo Eun-seol didn’t really take any rewards?”

Yoo Eun-seol, who was crucial in conquering the stained Rock Pile.

She said she didn’t want any of the dungeon ownership rights or conquest rewards from us.

She even gave us all of the magic stones and byproducts from the monsters we hunted.

Why?

I wondered, but…

“Yep! She said she already accomplished her goal. The conquest rewards are just a gift.”

“I see….”

Hearing that, I understood everything.

The reason Yoo Eun-seol joined us in the first place was because of me.

It was because I met the ‘special condition’ to enter the double dungeon in <The River Touched by the Breath of a Dragon>.

Yoo Eun-seol suggested we conquer that dungeon together, and at that time I said I would do it if I became strong enough.

It looks like she resigned herself and gave up all the rewards.

In the first place, rewards at that level have no impact on an S-grade Holder like her anyway.

Thanks to that, we were able to monopolize all those rewards without making much effort to conquer the dungeon.

“…I feel a little guilty about it.”

“Hehe. But making lots of money feels nice!”

“That’s true.”

I readily agreed with Chae-eun’s rationalization.

After all, money is what remains in the end.

I checked the rewards with a broad grin.

“Did you tally up all the magic stones and byproducts?”

“Yep. Jae-hyun, divide it and deposit it into our accounts, 7:3 ratio.”

“Huh? Why’s that?”

“Hehe… I didn’t do anything in the dungeon.”

“Hey now, if you put it that way, I also…”

Other than killing six wolves in the boss room, I barely did anything….

I felt bad getting more money when we both got the same bus.

But there was no going back after Chae-eun already decided this.

Her stubbornness in things like this can’t even be bent by Professor Kim Myeong-hyun.

I looked over the other rewards laid out on the table.

“There are a lot of them.”

The rewards for conquering the ‘Stained Rock Pile’ were considerable.

It felt too easy since Yoo Eun-seol participated in the conquest, but after all, it was a high-level dungeon where all the monsters that appeared were B-grade or higher.

At minimum, it was an Academy Underground Dungeon.

At max, it could be compared to the Forest Covered with Snakes.

Thanks to that, the magic stones and monster byproducts, along with the rest room rewards, were pretty decent.

But among them, I was looking for something specific.

‘Journal, journal… Aha! Found it.’

I discovered what I wanted while rummaging through the rewards.

A bundle of journals that looked quite old.

It was covered in dark blood and fur-like substances, and the extensive tears and damage made it look like it had been through a lot.

<Item Information>

◎ Name: Madman’s Howling Journal

◎ Type: Special

◎ Rank: Epic

◎ Maker: –

◎ Special Effect: –

: When not in combat, possessing the journal at night under moonlight will quickly recover magic.

◎ Detailed Informations: –

: A journal of a human who howls madly whenever the moon shines at night. Most of the journal is torn and damaged, making it difficult to discern the contents.

‘Okay. This is it.’

As expected, this was what I was looking for.

[Madman’s Howling Journal].

It’s a pretty decent epic special item with good effects, but the real value of this item lies elsewhere.

‘City of Fallen Wolves’.

An ultra high-level dungeon that Park Jin-woo sets foot in later.

A special dungeon where werewolves or lycanthropes have taken over the interior.

Unlike normal dungeons, simply infusing magic into the medium is not enough to enter this dungeon.

Like the ‘double dungeon entry condition’ Yoo Eun-seol suggested, you had to use a special item as the medium to enter.

[Madman’s Howling Journal] was that special entry item.

Lately, so many developments have diverged from the original that I was worried, but fortunately, this reward followed the original flow.

‘It’ll be difficult for now….’

I obtained the key to the dungeon, but conquering it right away will be hard.

The City of Fallen Wolves is the pinnacle dungeon where A-grade monsters prowl, not to mention the countless mysterious S-grade monsters.

In the first place, it’s a special dungeon entered using an item obtained by conquering the already high-level ‘Stained Rock Pile’.

There’s no way conquering it would be easy.

‘But getting it is what’s important.’

The ‘City of Fallen Wolves’ is an extremely important dungeon.

Not simply because it has many high-level monsters and requires a special entry item.

As the name implies, the dungeon is literally a ‘city’.

A dungeon in the form of a city where werewolves have gathered and created their own civilization.

Although crude and lowly, it clearly possessed all the basic elements of a city.

And this means…

Werewolves cannot simply be treated as monsters.

The ‘different species capable of communication’ that appear later in the original.

One of them was the werewolf.

“What’s that, Jae-hyun?”

As I kept holding the journal for a while.

Chae-eun, who was organizing the items, asked.

“It looks like a special item… Chae-eun, is it okay if I take this?”

I wasn’t particularly interested in the other equipment.

For now, none of the rewards included my main weapons like swords or daggers.

The armor and accessories didn’t seem good for me either.

On the other hand, there were many magic-related items suitable for Chae-eun.

The only thing I needed from these rewards was [Madman’s Howling Journal].

And Chae-eun brightly nodded at my question.

“Yep!”

“Huh?”

“Huh? Why?”

“You’re giving it to me so easily?”

“Yeah. Just by looking, that item doesn’t really suit me. And since it’s a dungeon Jae-hyun found and conquered, you should decide how to split the rewards!”

“But… I also got the bus….”
