6. subterranean dungeon
“Looking for a party with groundwater!”
“We are recruiting people with healing magic. 4/5”
“Assault Seion Cafe 231452 Let’s get together for a party!”
“It’s a fast 5th round thief!”
“I have a 2-star attack skill! Looking for a party to clear!”
The area in front of the underground waterway in the Podina slums was crowded with novice users looking for a party. Seion did not have a party matching system like other games, so most of them had to form a party from outside or come and find a party. Far from user convenience, everything is Seion, which users have to solve on their own, just like in the past online games. What’s funny is that it’s attractive and people go crazy about it.
“Has the wizard come yet?”
“Looks like you’re lost.”
“Ah, he shouted that he would come first… … .”
“Do you want to just head for the southern canal?”
“I don’t have time.”
I made my way through the crowd of people.
[Podina Underground Waterway – North Waterway]
At the entrance to the underground aqueduct, an NPC guard named Horace was standing with a bored expression, but he pretended to know me while looking at me.
“Kay, you’re here.”
“ah… yes.”
“okay. Did you come to catch mice today?”
It’s very friendly, perhaps because of the good impression the previous owner had accumulated. When I opened the quest window, quests that could be done appeared.
1- Rat Catcher
Repeated Quest (1 person) – Podina Government Office is having a headache due to the recent increase in rats. Rats not only kill germs, but are also good food for monsters living underground. Get rid of the rats and get confirmation from the guards.

There are a total of four quests in the underground waterway. One of them is a recurring quest that raises you to level 5 where you can receive free skill coupons.
“My sister said quests 2 and 3 were honey.”
Quest 3 was a party quest, and the boss drops a rare item called Cloak of Contempt. Although it rarely pops up, he said that this one could be used up to level 30. However, in order to do number 3, you must complete quest number 2 first. For reference, Quest 4 is a field boss that randomly appears on the 2nd floor as an underground water supply.
“Let’s see… There is an event hanging on the second quest… … .”
Quest 2 has an event that gives 3 normal to legendary item draw tickets. Of course, I’ve never heard of a legendary being drawn from this item drawing ticket. Most of them are normal or advanced grades, and I only heard that rare grades are emerging as if beans sprouted in a drought. However, such a small item is also necessary for mission number 3. After organizing my plan, I closed the quest window and opened my mouth to Horace.
“I think I saw a monster while catching mice, so I came to check”
“What? monster?”
“Yes. It seemed like a surprise.”
At the keyword of the quest, play, the face of a guard named Horace was slightly frightened. Gnoll was a ferocious monster incomparable to a rat.
“Are you sure?”
“I came to check because I was worried too.”
“Damn it, since the underground canal is connected to the outside world, sometimes those guys get swindled. But I can’t just listen to you and report it to the superiors.”
“Shall I find out?”
“Not a bad idea.”
Horace nodded. Holding my chin and contemplating for a while, he scans me up and down.
“By the way, would you be okay with that kind of armament?”
“My armament?”
All I have now is a wooden club the size of an adult forearm and a beginner’s set from a beginner’s event. The armor is quite usable, but the weapons are too poor.
“okay. It would be a big deal if I ran into a monster with that kind of armament.”
With those words, Horace drew the short sword he was wearing around his waist with his sword belt and held it out to me.
“I’ll lend you this just this time, so take it.”
“thank you.”
Kei, who received a sword belt and short sword from Horace, wore it around his waist.
Horace’s Shortsword [Premium] Rental: Monster in the Underground Water Quest Limited (1 time)
– Horace’s favorite sword. Although it has no special magical powers, it is well tamed and more powerful than a normal shortsword.
Attack Power: 10-12
Durability: 40/40
Option: Cutting force 3
‘OK.’
In my sister’s strategy book, it was said that people who play Resemara usually only clear Quest 1, but if that happens, their closeness with Horace increases excessively, so they lend weapons even though it’s a one-time thing. The interesting thing is that the concept of the first episode is ambiguous, but you can continue to borrow it as long as you don’t clear the second quest.
‘Get a sense of the battle with Quest No. 1, Catching Rats. Catch as much as you can, then… The second challenge is level 8… … .’
I walked towards the entrance of the underground waterway, reminding myself of the words that the rat, which is the lowest among the ‘monsters’ that exist in Seion, is a monster that can be dealt with if there is no instinctive reluctance.
[You have entered the first floor north of the underground waterway.]
bang… car window!
It was noisy with people catching mice inside the underground waterway for a long time. Although it is divided into channels, it is inevitable that there will be many because it is a game enjoyed by so many people.
“I told you not to go south.”
There was a door down to the 2nd floor where games appeared on the south side, so it was a relatively strong user’s movement, but it was said that sometimes looters who were plundering on the 2nd floor came up to the 1st floor.
‘harrier.’
Looters, simply put, are users who steal other people’s items through PK in Seion. In Seion, items drop with a certain probability when you die, and if you do well, you can hit the jackpot. It’s something to resent for those who are victimized, but what’s funny is that this looting is also one of the obvious contents in the game, so to put it bluntly, there is a saying that ‘Seion returns to the plunder economy’. Of course, there were penalties for those who plundered.
If you kill someone else, something called honor points will be deducted, but if this becomes negative, red tattoos will be engraved all over your body, and your eyes will also turn red. Also, when dealing with a general NPC, if you do not have a certain level of favorability, you will be rejected at all, and even if you do trade, you must deal with a penalty. Nevertheless, because of the thrill of killing others and stealing things, Seion was the reason many people walked the path of looters.
“I’ll catch it soon too.”
Moving to a secluded place with no people, I pulled out the shortsword Horace gave me.
[Normal][Giant Ashen Rat][Level 2]
As the name says “giant”, it is ignorantly large for a rat. In a survey of beginners, when asked why they refunded a game, they mentioned a total of three things, and one of them was these guys. As he frantically bites and feels the identity that this game wants from players, he calls the game customer center and spits out double curses mixed with tears. … . The funny thing is, even after being beaten like that, they couldn’t get a refund, and the next day they went down to the underground waterway again and cursed the game company and beat them up.
“Sizzling!”
Since it’s one of the few non-first attack monsters in the game, you’ll even use Horace’s shortsword, so one knife per monster is enough. However, when my people are attacked, the other rats around me begin to swarm towards me.
Whoops! Poo!
I backed away and slashed the rats as they charged. Ordinary newbies would panic and bite them here and there, but as long as they are holding Horace’s Shortsword, a fraudulent weapon limited to rats, two shots per rat are enough. But the crisis came to me too.
“Ugh!”
I’ve been cutting myself for a while, but my legs are sore. When I lowered my gaze, a rat was hanging dangling with its ankle bitten. As he tried to shake off his leg, a rat jumped up to his chest and attacked him. After punching him out with his arm, he stabs the guy hanging from the bridge, and the guy who was blown away by the arm spurts the wall and attacks again.
“Are you a spider rat!”
After briefly swearing, I did a triangle jump and knocked out the flying mouse with a pommel, then swung my shortsword to break the one clinging to my ankle in two, then stepped back, wary of my surroundings.
“Whoa, is this a game?”
It’s a very realistic attack. I felt it during the tutorial, but it is too realistic, so I feel rather rejected. It’s incomparable to the sloppy games I’ve played before. From the fragments of intestines protruding from the body of a rat cut in half, to the texture of blood-soaked fur, it is vividly visible. Fortunately, the item window that appeared on the dead monster’s body played a role in distinguishing it from reality.
“Rat tail… rat meat… 4 dirty bandages… mouse skin… Sheesh… There is no recovery potion.”
The rat tail is a quest item, and you need to collect 50 of them to clear the first quest. Dirty bandages are a first aid kit that stops bleeding, and serves to restore a small amount of damage caused by rats. The potion drops like beans sprouting in a drought, but it hasn’t come out yet. Well, there’s no way that a recovery potion that cost 1 silver per piece would drop so easily.
After collecting the tail and bandages from the dead rats, I breathed lightly. It’s tense, but not as hard as it sounds. No, it’s rather fun. As time goes on, as his actions become more natural, like new clothes taming, he regrets not having played Seion.
“First, recover… … .”
First of all, I wrapped a bandage on my red-stained arm. In Seion’s physical strength system, along with a certain amount of life, the color changes according to the damage done to each part like in an FPS game. At first, it is pink, then it gradually turns red, and at the end, when it turns completely black, it becomes blackout and becomes unusable. In the case of vital points, it is applied as a critical hit and falls into a blackout at once. In that case, you must use a recovery potion instead of a bandage. After a while, the arm that had turned red returned to its full color again.
“Restart!”

-Wow, this Vijay is strong. I only hunt for 6 hours.
-Six hours?
-yes. I have a habit of sleeping with the broadcast on. I remember turning it on at 1:00 and I’m still hunting.
-Ah, he must have left in the middle and then came back. How can a newbie playing here hunt for 6 hours without a break?
-okay. How can a kid who hunts for 6 hours be a newbie?
-Ah, Lysema… But why did a girl named Risema turn on the broadcast?
– I’m selling drugs to get some money hahahahaha
-under… It’s really a problem for the kids who lie… Shall I report it? It must have been illegal modification anyway… … .
– Leave it. He wants to eat and live.
-I earn a lot of money when I see item heaven.
– After hearing about it, they say that even if you invest for a month and get a high-grade grade, it will be a jackpot. Rarity is a real lottery.
-You don’t wake up like that? I invested a week to pick up a rare skill.
-ㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ I’m laughing. week rare? I burned 10 million won and picked a rare one?
-Both of them are fucking rich. hahahaha If you guys have really rare skills, I’ll upload a video of you pooping in Aramis Square right away.
-Why are you looking at that?
-By the way, we don’t communicate at all. I can’t see the chat window.
-uh? An event boss appeared in the beginner fields! Uproar now!
-If it’s an event boss, ah… The event that I did last month, but was killed by a bunch of newbies, so I ate a lot and ended it? do that again?
-The boss was nerfed and said to do it again, but it must have been today.
-I see. ah… If I was a newbie, I would have logged in right away to catch the boss.
-Iknow, right. They say they spit out set items too… … .
-Then what should I do, I’ll be massacred again.
– Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha What is that?
-It’s the event boss!
-Event boss? Is there an event boss here?
-That’s the event boss mob that was canceled because the beginners were massacred the other day… It’s out again.
-OMG! But I met such a boss! Ha ha ha!
– I’m going to die. Is it the end of the racemara?
– I’m going to die. Blessings in advance… … .
