141 – Find ding dong deng (2)
“I didn’t know Yeti existed.”
“There are quite a few, so I fight with monsters quite often.”
About an hour after starting to accompany Haley.
I found out that there are more monsters in the mountains than I thought.
‘The monsters have to first break through the monsters in the mountain range.’
This must be the reason why the Pars family was able to fend off monsters in the north for a long time.
If all the monsters came down from the mountain range, it would be difficult, but if there was a defense line, the story would be different.
In addition, the defense line was also very strong because it was a yeti that was comparable to an ogre.
thud!
As soon as the Yeti in front of me collapsed, I saved my strength.
The royal palace manual martial arts were all good, but their roots were black mana, so it was dangerous to use them for a long time.
He needed to be careful because he was trying to draw the black mana naturally inside his body.
‘But it must be about this.’
The reason why the crystal of sea ice became famous was the description of the item, but also the difficulty of obtaining it.
It is a very natural rule in RPG games that the harder the dungeon, the better the reward difficulty.
However, the crystal of sea ice was an item that deviated from that rule.
Passing through the snowy mountains, meeting the Yeti and dealing with the monsters that pop out of nowhere.
After that, I barely found the dungeon and cleared it, and came out with only one reward.
Even that was a decision of thawing, so it was impossible not to become famous.
This is because the anger quickly spread through the bulletin board on the bulletin board.
‘…found.’
Searching for memories, I am now climbing up to the middle of the mountain range.
I finally found a clue about the crystal dungeon of sea ice.
Tring!
———
You found a piece of bread from the classic dungeon [Hansel and Gretel]!
Follow the slice of bread to enter the dungeon.
———
With a notification sound, a message informs me that what I found is the correct answer.
I took the piece of bread that had fallen on the floor in my pocket.
“It’s good that you’re following me, but I’m going to enter that dungeon, is that okay?”
A dungeon is a space where you don’t know what will happen.
In every dungeon, death always happens in the worst case scenario.
I could deal with any variable, but not Haley.
If she was injured or killed, Pars could have walked the path of extinction.
I didn’t want to make them suffer because they carried different things on their backs, so I went out with them out of curiosity and ended up avoiding it.
Haley was lost in thought for a moment, as if this feeling had been conveyed to her.
She didn’t say anything and suddenly walked away and found something identical to the piece of bread I had picked up.
After that, as I did, he quietly put it in his pocket and looked at me.
I knew what that meant, but I needed an answer.
“It’s really dangerous. You could die.”
“So I’m going with you, not because I’m worried about you, but for our estate.”
You can’t just leave a dungeon you didn’t even know existed for long.
And this is a space under our control, I do the finishing touches.
I nodded my head at Hailey’s words without a word wrong.
In a way, I was a strange guy who tried to find dungeons in other people’s areas and steal items.
It was only possible because Hailey was condoning it, in fact, it was an act that skipped a lot of procedures.
‘That’s why I wore a mask.’
Since I was traveling with someone I shouldn’t have been caught with, now everything has become meaningless.
“Then I’ll briefly explain the dungeon information.”
“yes.”
“The name of the dungeon to enter is called Hansel and Gretel.”
“Hansel and Gretel?”
“Yes.”
The theme of Final Destiny is facing the fate of despair.
In other words, it is a story that the content itself hides the human will to escape from the predestined fate.
And borrowing that part, the development team borrowed an old fairy tale and made a dungeon.
The will to change the final moment when the ending was decided.
I remember writing at the time of the update, ‘I hope you can actively feel that kind of thing’.
“Hear it first.”
“Yes, because it’s not common… It’s based on an ancient, forgotten story.”
A story type dungeon that is familiar to players but completely new to NPCs.
That was the classic classic dungeon.
“What’s this about…”
I explained a brief story to Haley as I picked up a piece of bread buried in the snow.
There were children named Hansel and Gretel, abandoned, and found a house while picking up cookie crumbs.
A story about meeting a witch.
It was kind of cute when Hailey’s eyes lit up every time she spoke because it was the first time she’d heard it.
She was surprised when the witch said she was going to eat her, and when she threw the witch into the fire, she said wow.
“I know you very well, it’s the first time I’ve heard of it.”
“That’s right… At the academy…”
“The academy won’t teach you that.”
Haley looked at me with a knowing expression.
It would have been a situation where I couldn’t help but doubt, but I was already ready with all the excuses.
“I’m in a club, looking for these hidden and forgotten stories…”
“why?”
“Oh, that’s um… everything has to do with me.”
I need to make a club quickly.
When I returned to the academy, I promised to make a meeting right away.
If you just put Woo Do-hyun and Velos in, most of the noise can be solved, so it should be fine.
‘Who would touch a group with the 1st grader and the 5th prince of the empire.’
Admiring the improvisational but perfect plan, I put the last piece of bread in my pocket.
Tring!
Immediately after that, a message appeared in front of my eyes.
This time, it appeared not only in me, but also in Hailey’s eyes.
This was proof that all the conditions for entering the dungeon were met.
———
You have met the entry requirements for the classic dungeon [Hansel and Gretel].
Would you like to enter?
———
“Yes.”
“yes.”
An immediate answer without hesitation.
At that moment, a tremendous light erupted from the message and swallowed Hailey in an instant.
++++++++++
———
You are Hansel.
Abandoned by her parents, she and Gretel are wandering in the woods.
All the pieces of bread are gone, so you can’t go back home, and the birds have told you where the cookies are.
Be faithful to your role.
We hope that your actions will change the ending of the story and earn satisfying rewards.

“… came in.”
Feel the warm spring sun.
It is not a place where the snow flutters, but the warm energy of spring.
The smell of phytoncide in the dense forest stings my nose.
‘The only thing that’s different from the game is the clothes.’
The clothes were changed to suit the spring.
Here, the setting of Ai, who was abandoned, was added and dressed in rags.
Originally, I was planning to come in alone, but when Hailey came in, I felt that it became more original.
Gretel became older, but that didn’t matter.
‘But where is it?’
I’m sure they came in together, so they would fall in a similar position.
Their roles were similar, so it was normal to be near them.
back.
“brother?”
As I was thinking about that, the hem of my clothes pulled with a sound that would melt my brain just by listening to it.
“to?”
I was so startled that I turned my head towards the source of the sound and saw Haley there.
She tilted her head with a very confident expression and spat out her brother’s voice.
“I have to do this to go the original way.”
Right? Hailey’s eyes looked so innocent that she couldn’t help but nod.
I’ve come too far to say no here, just treat it like normal.
“Uh…uh, yes.”
“No, aren’t you doing it right? I was told to stick to my role.”
“No, then what should I do…”
“You should speak softly, say Hailey and sing softly. You are now my older brother.”
Do you know that this is a dungeon, and are you saying this now?
If the story you told me at the beginning was so impressive, why would you say something like this?
I rubbed my forehead and nodded.
First of all, it came to the conclusion that it is cheaper to match the rhythm here.
“Then… let’s go.”
The dungeon itself wasn’t dangerous anyway and I could finish it quickly, so I decided to leave it as it is.
It was a very heartbreaking situation.
++++++++
“Here he went.”
“Huh? Did you find it already?”
“The traces are very thick, it must have been a fight with the Yeti.”
At Karan’s words, Yui put all the clothes she had shopped in the Pars estate.
Shopping is important, but it is also important to follow your loved one’s purpose.
“You must have entered a dungeon.”
Hide-and-seek with a disciple is always fun.
After that, Karan pulled out his greatsword right in front of the place Lee Seok-hyun had moved to.
As if to cut through space, the blade filled with black mana cut through the air.
“Disciple, I’ll see you soon.”
Dreaming of a very touching reunion scene, Karan and Yui entered the dungeon.
