Episode 10 Guild Dungeon (3)

“It's you. A child who was destined to be the ‘adversary’.”

Jaehyun looked at the woman standing in front of him.

Dressed in an alluring black dress, she has a beautiful and hideous figure.

The half of the skeleton, which was about to become white and brittle, and the remaining half of the face had an indescribably fine off-white color.

It was a sight that could only be described as bizarre.

‘Who the hell is this woman...?'

As the blood pours, the mind gradually becomes distant.

The beast's fist stopped as if a scene in a movie had been paused.

Night Shade's attack stopped a few centimeters before reaching him.

“......Did you do it?”

It was a question that overcame fear, but the woman did not answer.

However, she only smiled slightly as she looked at Jaehyun with curious eyes.

The woman squatted in front of him, aiming at his neck with her long, black nails. A dizzying reverberation of bloodletting emanated from her arms as she tilted her head.

Soon after, the enchanting purple lips began to open slowly, and Jaehyun leaned forward a little more to listen to her words.

“Hmm... They said he was the ‘adversary' who would kill him. Are you a total nerd? Its skeleton is also normal... Its magical power is usable, but it's not enough to stand up to the Aesir gods.”

The woman complained and lightly rested her chin on her other hand.

“Why did Loki choose such a child as his adversary?”

cool tone. Goosebumps ran through Jaehyun's body. At the same time, all sorts of questions swirled in his mind.

Is this woman... an enemy?

Then why did you rescue me from Nightshade?

And the word antagonist... I'm sure I've heard it somewhere...

‘......Damn it. Is it because of too much blood? I don't remember anything.'

Woo woo woo .......

The wind is blowing.

The woman stabbed Jaehyun in the neck with her fingernails.

A thin line of blood runs down the neck and flows down the collarbone.

The corners of her mouth slowly began to curl as she watched the blood pooling deep in the lines.

I was struggling with my strength because I felt like I was going to be blown away by the dizzying scent.

However, Jaehyun silently gave strength to the staff he shoved into his thighs to somehow endure.

If you collapse here, all your plans will be wrong.

Neither vengeance against his father nor the desire to succeed as a wizard.

everything will fall apart

So I had to endure it for now. “still.”

The woman smiled softly and brought Jaehyun's face close to her own.

“I like the look in your eyes.”

The woman looked at him and smiled.

Jae-hyun showed a strong will to live rather than be frightened even in an urgent and life-threatening situation.

It would be even more strange if you were not interested in such a person.

“But hey. you are so weak The ‘end' is coming much faster than you think. you need to get stronger

If you don't do that and the hell repeats itself again.”

Jaehyun wanted to ask something, but his voice barely came out.

The woman removed the fingernails that had pierced her uvula, and this time she grabbed her neck and smiled lightly.

“I will kill you first.”

“Heuk!”

Jaehyun, who had shed a lot of blood, had no means left to resist the woman's overwhelming power.

It's all about trying hard not to lose your mind.

‘Damn it......'

Jaehyun was trying hard not to get tired of fear.

‘what? What is it? This woman...!'

“Cuck!”

As the suffocating pain hit Jaehyun, the woman released her hand from her throat.

She smiled at Jaehyun and said with a patronizing face.

“You are important to us. So give me a chance.”

The woman was with a mischievous smile.

“Be strong. Become stronger than you are now and defeat the Night Shade ahead of you. Then I'll give you a very special gift.

However. As I said before, the time given to you is limited. two months. Try to knock this guy down inside.”

Along with the woman's voice, a refreshing system sound came into Jaehyun's head.

―The first main quest has arrived.

―The main quest ?The Ordeal of Hell? has been accepted.

[Main Quest]

Hel's Ordeal

Hel, the ruler of Helheim, is giving you an ordeal. Defeat Nightshade within the time limit and earn Hel's approval.

Difficulty: C

Reward: Gift of Hel (You can check the content when you clear the quest.)

Remaining time: 59 days 23:59

Failure penalty: death

While losing consciousness, Jaehyun was perplexed by the system window that popped up.

With one word from the woman, the system gave herself a new quest. Even a quest I've never seen before called a main quest.

‘What is the connection between this system and... the woman?'

It was a reasonable inference.

But there was no time to think deeply.

Suss.......

With the woman's faint smile, countless black hands rose from under Jaehyun's body, grabbed him and began to slowly pull him down.

Jaehyun's eyes narrowed.

‘This is... what the hell?!'

Jaehyun felt extreme fear at the bizarre and hideous black hand. Every time his hand wrapped around Jaehyun's body, his mind drifted away from reality little by little.

At the same time, a woman's faint voice resounded in my lost mind.

“Remember. If you don't show your growth in it, you will die by my hand.”

In a dark, unfathomable shadow. Watching Jaehyun being dragged into the abyss, the woman turned around.

“I am the child chosen by Nornir. Please wish me luck.”

* * *

Pajijijik― Kung!

The magical energy collides in a chain and releases a high-pressure rupture sound. Almost at the same time, the huge wooden door slams shut, and a scream close to the end of the dungeon bursts out at the entrance of the dungeon.

“Cuck!”

With a slightly funny voice, Jaehyun suddenly opened his eyes.

“Haa... haa...”

My whole body was wet. My breath went up to the tip of my chin, and my breathing became rapid.

Like a diver who came up after being submerged under the surface for a long time, his ears were deaf and he could not hear well and his vision was unclear.

It was dizzy and difficult to grasp the context, but one thing was certain.

“This is... the entrance to the dungeon?”

My eyes narrow and my mind begins to return to normal.

As Jaehyun looked at the huge blue gate in front of him, he fumbled and rubbed his stomach a couple of times.

Soon his lips trembled.

“This is.......”

The wounds from Night Shade a while ago had completely disappeared.

‘The wound is getting better as if it had been washed. Did she do it?'

It was such a terrible wound that it wouldn't be strange if he stopped breathing at any time.

Night Shade's fists almost pierced Jae-Hyun's delicate skin, and he had to spill a lot of blood with little health left.

‘What is it? That woman...'

Jaehyun frowned.

at that time.

A refreshing system message was heard.

―You have accepted the first main quest. information.

[Main Quest]

Reward: Hel's gift (You can check the contents when you clear the quest.)

Remaining time: 59 days 23:34

Failure penalty: death

Jae-hyeon's body trembled while looking at the quest window.

“……It wasn’t a dream.”

Jaehyun muttered self-mockingly.

He realized that the woman he had just met was related to this ‘Nornir System' and had a deep connection with what he had returned to.

at the same time.

The place where Jaehyun's sight stays is none other than the column with the name of the main quest.

-Hel's ordeal.

Hell. It was a familiar name.

The god of the world of death who presides over Helheim, one of the nine worlds of mythology, and the end of everything.

“Am I… meeting God?”

It was absurd, but I thought there was nothing strange about it.

Today's world is overlaid with myths.

Also, the owners of the myth are the Aesir gods, with Odin as the main axis. The master of this story was never a human or a weak creature in Midgard.

Then it must be right that God exists in this world as well.

‘Of course, it is speculation to the end, but the possibility is high.'

In a situation where everything was uncertain, Jaehyun began to organize his situation.

‘Just now. Due to the call of the Nornir system, I was transferred to Helheim Dungeon, not the original E-class dungeon. There, he was attacked by Nightshade and nearly died.

The one who appeared there and saved me was Hell.'

Wouldn't that mean that Hel at least decided that he was worth using?

She called Jae-Hyun a antagonist.

It was also said that ‘Loki' had chosen him to be the adversary of the Aesir gods.

“Before returning... I heard something similar right after I got the Nornir System.”

―The user has become the adversary of the lofty throne of Aesir.

“Everything is unclear. why did i come back

Also, what did Hel mean by ‘adversary' and what did they want from me? but.”

Even in the midst of confusion, Jaehyun clenched his fists and made a promise.

“One thing is certain.”

Be strong.

Jaehyun repeated that.

“If everything Hel told me is true... I have to defeat Nightshade within two months. If you don't do that, you will surely be killed by Hel.”

Hell obviously saved Jaehyun's life and gave him a chance.

However, this offer has no meaning unless Jaehyun defeats Nightshade during the two-month grace period.

Jaehyun immediately got up from his seat.

“Night Shade in two months... It won't be easy, but it's nice to have a goal, right?”

Jaehyun murmured with a soft smile on his lips.

Jaehyun calmly analyzed his current situation and identified his shortcomings.

“Everything from the basic fighting style is a problem. I'm still not used to combat as a magician, and I haven't mastered even low-level magic.

There is nothing more important than the foundation to move forward here.”

Jaehyun nodded slightly, then took out his smartphone and turned it on.

And the moment I was about to send a text.

Just in time, the first text came from the other person.

[hello. This is Seongjae Park.]

[CEO Seongeun Yoo wants to meet Jaehyun Min in person. Do you have any time tomorrow?]

[He wants to hear the answer to the proposed contract as well.]

“Isn't the timing just right?”

A greedy smile spread across Jaehyun's lips.

He quickly wrote a reply and sent it.

[Then see you tomorrow.]

[We are reviewing the contract positively. If only I could hear one more suggestion.]
