Chapter 87
While Taylor Nine stayed and trained in Korea for three months, I traveled around Seoul to find a place that could serve as a guild office.
Because I thought it was time to introduce the guild to the public. I don’t know what kind of plan Yekaterina had, but if she really comes into my guild, she’ll take over all guild operations. I need to complete all preparations beforehand.
In addition, as a member of the Another League, Ha Sun-young has been taking Ye Sa-hye wherever she went while teaching her about swordsmanship at the same time and her achievements were numerous. It looks like we would get a guild member soon enough.
Ha Sun-young, she was someone who created her own swordsmanship without having any guide or teacher. She absorbed all kinds of technique and mixed it with her own. Recently, I’ve been teaching her some swordsmanship I learned in the fantasy world.
The swift swordsmanship, the slow swordsmanship, the heavy swordsmanship, and the lightweight swordsmanship.
These four sword techniques are very simple and straightforward, so from the point of view of Murim people who have lived in the martial arts world, these sword techniques may look like a joke. However, these sword techniques were very useful for dealing with monsters, it was not meant to be used against humans.
A swordsmanship that completely erased the psychological warfare between humans. A swordsmanship that could effectively kill an existence that is several-fold stronger than human.
Surprisingly, Ha Sun-young completely absorbed not only Murim’s swordsmanship, but also Fantasy world’s swordsmanship! Presumably, Ha Sun-young would be the best hunter in New Murim league if you exclude Seol Jungyeon from the list.
In addition, ‘Sunyoung Swordsmanship’ has become a sword technique suitable for dealing with monsters and become a great help for Ye Sa-hye.
It’s been less than half a year since she started learning Sunyoung swordsmanship properly, but she already achieved D-rank in terms of output. On top of it, I taught Ye Sa-hye a few basic magic spells, and she learned it at an amazing speed
Now that the ‘protagonist’ has disappeared from earth, I have no idea about her stats or what kind of skills she’s using. But, my guess is she had some learning-related talents and skills. Or, maybe she’s just working hard at it.
If Ye Sa-hye grows a little bit more, she could handle both swords and magic at the same time. Also, she’s the only one who has studied administrative subjects, so she’s actually the smartest one in my guild.
For that reason, I only need a guild office…
“There aren’t any places for new guilds here. Go somewhere else.”
“Guild office? There’s none. But there’s probably one left in Bangbae-dong?”
“Hey. I’ve been out here sometime. Why don’t you go to the Muran market?”
“No, no. Go to Pangyo right next door.”
“This man… In Pangyo, all guild hideouts were already sold out half a year ago.”
This is the situation I faced.
Securing a guild office in the crowded metropolitan area was as difficult as eating cold rice cake soup while lying down!
Guild hideouts were legally allowed to store ether dispensers inside a special safe that can withstand an explosion. And the building also needs a special facility to install them. So you can’t just randomly buy a building and proclaim it as your Guild Hideout.
If the size of the guild was a bit large, a training ground with a special energy barrier was also needed for the training of its members. The building will also need a kitchen, laundry room, medical care room, game room, gym, swimming pools, and many more. It means that the building itself needs a variety of facilities to be useful as a guild office.
Of course, I don’t need that much, if the building meets the minimum conditions (a special ether safe), I’ll gladly take it.
I still haven’t found a building for our guild office even after 3 months of looking here and there. I didn’t know it would be this bad. At this point, I am very sorry for Ha Sun-young and Ye Sa-hye. Hunters basically stay in the guild office of their respective guilds. When they aren’t dispatched, they will spend their time leisurely to relieve their stress and recover their condition. But both Ha sun-young and Ye Sa-hye were living in a temporary studio and moving around in motels.
Ha Sun-young said that it didn’t matter, because she thought of me as her benefactor in the first place.
“I’d rather find it in the region….”
Thinking that way, I walked down the road to find the next place. But suddenly the flower spirit spoke.
-Hey, witch~
“What is it this time?”
-It smells good~
“Yeah, there are a lot of bars nearby.”
-Not that~
The flower spirit was silent for a moment, and as usual, I ignored it because I know she would ask for a bottle of alcohol soon enough. But she spoke once again
-It smells like spirit…
“What? Spirit? Here?”
-Yes~
No way.
On Earth, you could only find a spirit if you are really, really lucky. But there’s a spirit around here? In the middle of Gangnam?
“Where?”
-… in front of you~
As I walked forward following the flower spirit’s guidance, I saw a huge plaza located in the middle endless row of skyscrapers. It was Gangnam Plaza. This place, which was created after the original got swept away by bombing after the Great War 31 years ago, was a meeting place for people in their twenties and a kind of important place where numerous prestigious guild offices were situated.
“……So, where is the spirit? There’s nothing here.”
-It’s down there.
“Down? Did you mean in the sewer?”
-Eum. Not that…
At that time, the flower spirit activates a scan magic. My vision was dyed with magical power and began to detect the area, and surprisingly, a huge, really huge ‘dungeon’ was just below me.
“Dungeon?”
It was the first time I ever detected a dungeon with magic, so I don’t know what I should do next. However, when the dungeon is created, all area 10m around the dungeon will be closed until it is resolved, and the soldiers will always be on standby until the hunter in charge appears, but there was no one nearby.
As if they didn’t even know that the dungeon occurred.
“This is the Hell…….”
<It’s a wandering dimension.>
“What is that?”
<It is a dimension that breaks away from the original dimension and wanders around the world. It is basically the same as a ‘dungeon’, but it does not emit dangerous energy that is harmful to the earth, so it seems that the world’s scientific equipment could not detect it.>
Anomaly observatory usually tracked and ranked the huge energy waves that occur in the area to detect the possible dungeon and gates. However, they couldn’t detect the dungeon that appeared in the middle of Gangnam, where the floating population could be tens of thousands of people a day. If that dungeon was out of time and was synchronized with reality, a catastrophe would have occurred.
“…I’m glad I found it. I’ve been doing this for 16 years, but this is my first time finding one with this method.”
<As far as I know, there are more of those wandering dimensions on Earth. It just hasn’t been found because it could never be found with the current technology that human possessed.>
“There’s no case of an accident or someone accidentally entering it?”
<Well… While the dungeon was a dimension that was half-synchronized with reality and had a doorway that connects both dimensions, wandering dimension is a separate dimension altogether and there is no doorway. However, you can open anytime you want.>
What that meant was simple.
“Isn’t it a hidden dungeon that only I can enter?”

So, I brought Taylor, Ha Sun-young and Ye Sa-hye to Gangnam. Originally, I was going to leave Ye Sa-hye behind, but Ha Sun-young insisted on taking her along by saying, “Actual experience is important!”
Leaving them behind, I approached the stone statue in the middle of Gangnam Square and touched it, and a certain energy flowed from there. I wouldn’t have known about the identity of these energies before, but now I know.
“Are you making a portal?”
<….How did you know?>
“I just know. I’ve been going back and forth through that portal so of course I can feel it.”
<I see. I will refer to it.>
What do you mean refer to it? But before I even asked the question, the world was distorted and turned upside down.
[You entered a wandering dimension, ‘The Dead Spirit’s Floating Garden.’]
“…..Ugh!”
“Heook.”
“…Ouch, my head.”
Perhaps because I chose a half-dimensional movement rather than a normal dungeon entry method, I could hear unpleasant sounds coming from behind.
I raised my head and looked straight ahead.
Soon, I lost my words.
“…. It’s no joke.”
True to the name of ‘Floating garden’ the entire dimension floated in the air. Right now we were standing at the edge of the floating garden, a place I believed to be the entrance. In the distance I could see dozens of tall buildings and a huge castle.
This wide floating garden was all dark as if the sun did not exist. However, surprisingly, it was dazzlingly bright because of fireflies-like things that spread out in the air.
Light particles floated in the air as if it were snowing, long bridges that shone every time you step on them, and mysterious structures and floating objects that glowed softly.
In addition, the night sky was decorated in purple, red, and blue aurora.
Should it be called fantastic?
Or should it be called dreamy?
It was a very beautiful place.
“Pretty…..”
Ye Sa-hye couldn’t even come to her senses in front of this great spectacle. While Ha Sun-young held her smartphone and pressed the shutter without hesitation.
If you look at the sunset as a cliché, it had a close relationship with the ending. So, I heard, most of the ruined world often stops around sunset time.
However, an eternal evening comes to a world that has taken on a complete end. A world where the sun would never rise again. This dimension was that world that had just reached an end.
“Hey. Isn’t that a monster?”
Taylor said as she tapped on my shoulder, and I turned my view straight towards where Taylor’s finger pointed at.
Red, blue, green, and other fiery-like creatures were flying in the air while wearing armor.
<It hasn’t been long since this world reached its end, it seems that all living things hasn’t died yet.>
<However, since all the vital energy has been exhausted, a new spirit will not be born.>
<The spirits would have been trapped in a perished world and gradually extinguished if hunter Yoo Seodam didn’t get involved.>
“Really? Still, if the energy bursts and dungeon synchronization occurs, we’ll be in big trouble.”
<As I mentioned the other day, wandering dimensions do not emit bad energy. This is because all of the energy has already been consumed. In short, it’s a ‘dead dimension’.>
“Dead dimension huh? Well, then, even if we leave it alone, the dungeon synchronization wouldn’t happen, right?”
<Yes.>
“Hum…….”
When the monster appeared, Ha Sun-young changed into her uniform and pulled out her sword, while Ye Sa-hye wore a grade 3 ether suit and pulled out her ether blade, and Taylor took out her baseball bat. She didn’t need it anymore, but it seems like it’s a habit of hers.
I also pulled out a temporary 3rd grade ether blade. However, I didn’t move forward.
“What’s wrong? Is there any problem?”
“No. It’s not like that….”
Originally, there’s no entrance to enter this world. However, with the help of the System, entrance has been created. And it’ll be possible to construct a ‘gate’ that could only be used by Guild members through Magitek. Besides, this dimension was a ‘dead dimension’, a space that will be left alone forever…
Suddenly,
I turned and spoke to the three women about my idea.
“This place, the location is good, no one can easily enter, the scenery is beautiful, the size is so large and there is even a famous rice cake dumpling soup restaurant right next door.”
“…..?”
I made a pretty good suggestion to the girls who looked at me as if I’m a weirdo.
“Let’s get the boss and occupy this place.”
