When a Necromancer Spams Level 1 Skeletons and Turns Them OP! - Manhwa Recap

The story takes place in a modern setting, but there are dungeons, monsters, and skills in this world. Our protagonist, Ju Dong Hun, possesses a rare skill of necromancy, but there's a catch. He can only summon E-rank skeletons. One day, he unlocks a hidden achievement that lets him level up his skeletons. This is the story of leveling up from the lowest to possibly the highest. Between the battle between Humans and goblins, the humans are far less in number, but their leader still keeps giving orders while our protagonist watches the whole scene from under his hood. When

there is no other option left, the human leader asks our protagonist, the necromancer, for help. Our protagonist is more than happy to help as he is here as a mercenary. The skull staff in his hand glows purple as he summons his skeletons. Now it has become a battle between the skeleton and The goblins. The other men are surprised to see a necromancer in an E-ranked dungeon because the necromancy has been the strongest authority lately. Now they know their leader was so relaxed because he recruited some strong necromancer. Our necromancer listening to all these praises has

quite a dead expression. Among the 7.9 billion people, only around a thousand people have the unique authority of necromancer. However, all the summons of our necromancer are E-ranked. So, one could say he is just an irregular necromancer. The others are jealous that he is only using E-ranked skeletons because he is sure of his skills. But the truth is, our protagonist, Ju Dong Hun, is a cursed E-ranked necromancer. He is the one who controls the souls of the dead, a necromancer, and can overpower enemies using frightening spirits and poisons. But he has been cursed only to

summon skeletons. Around 10 years ago, humans Began to receive unique abilities when they turned adults at 20. The contents of the unique authorities were completely random, from basics such as blacksmithing and sewing to auxiliary authorities such as exploration, healing, or buffing. Since these abilities were all just given based on luck, not everyone felt great about it. Still, thanks to these abilities, the humans were able to survive the monster invasion. Our protagonist became a Necromancer that everyone was envious of. But his growth was stunned and he could only summon E-rank skeleton, so he became an E-rank

dungeon hyper carry. Ju Dong Hune reports back to the team leader about completing the dungeon party mercenary job and takes his leave. As he walks outside, Ju Dong Hun size at his luck. He at least wants his skill to be so trash that people do not have any expectations from him. He has been given hope for nothing and wishes to have a Production type ability because even after becoming a necromancer, his pay for today is only 40,0001. Even a part-time job would pay him more at this rate. But since this is the only thing he

actually wants to do, he can't give up on it either. To make his day even worse, nature decides to let him hear the news of the dark lord becoming an A- ranker in just three years of being active. It is also the first time that a hunter has become an A ranker in just 3 Years, which shows how powerful necromancers can be. At first, Judong Hun is surprised to hear that, but this is the thing that has been driving him mad. Dark Lord is someone who received his authority the same day as our protagonist, but

one of them is a cursed necromancer, while the other is already an A ranker. Judong Hun fumes at such an absurd possibility. Juong Hune finds himself walking to a secluded place, thinking about the reality of things. But that does not mean he can resent reality, and it's still without trying. So, he summons his ordinary skeletons with the notification that he can summon up to 10 skeletons at once. But the surprising part is that he can name each skeleton. At first, he thought it was something rare, but he was just a Lulu. Leaving the sad life

behind, Judong Hun starts training his skeletons. He always gets the same skeletons whenever he summons them. So, he comes up with the Most creative names with their weapons. Yeah. A huge sword for Bony one, a long spear for Bony 2, and a bow for Bony 3. He orders them to train because this is his way of putting in effort. At first, he saw some results as his skeletons were able to handle three goblins at once. But that was all. No matter how much harsher their training became, the skeletons did not become any stronger than that.

Ju Dong Hun once again sigh at his sad life and continues whining, Oblivious that there's something approaching from behind. A low grunt causes him to look behind. He is terrified to find an orc approaching him. Ju Dong Hun quickly backs away while the skeletons are suppressed by the presence of a strong being, causing all stats to reduce by 20%. So, their master calls them useless. The fact that an orc is here means that there is a dungeon break nearby, which is a phenomenon where a dungeon that has not Been cleared enough breaks to let the

monsters outside. The orc raises its weapon to attack. So, Ju Dong Hun orders his skeletons to block the attack. The orc grunts and easily pushes the skeletons away, making the skeletons unsummoned. It then chases after Ju Dong Hune, but thankfully an arrow hits the orc. Dong Hune really wants Bony 3 to do something because even with this shitty life, he still wants to live. Moreover, Dong Hune has 70 energy left, meaning he Can summon seven more boneheads. So, he summons his bonies and orders them to fight in a formation. Still, the orc is very powerful

for the E-rank skeletons. So, Dong Hune keeps summoning the skeletons to save his life. This causes him to utilize all his energy, but the orc is still standing without a scratch. He only has three skeletons against the orc, making him think this is the end. Suddenly, he receives a golden message, but Dong Hun is in no position to check It right now. Still, he checks the message on instinct to find that he has a hidden achievement of the 10,000 use rule that promotes him to Dank Necromancer. Dong Hune returns to the fight at hand as

his energy has been refilled and the skeletons promoted to Dank. The skeletons can now fight the orc, and that gets Dong Hun excited. So, he summons more skeletons that have new weapons. Now, with the addition of a tank and a mage, the party is now Somewhat rounded, so they all fight against the orc, making it drop its weapon. Next, the mage summons a massive fireball to end the orc. The skeletons look at their master after defeating the strong orc, but Dong Hun is stunned right now. As the feeling settles in, he feels like the world

does not want him dead just yet. Dong Hune eats ramen and looks at the status screen. He never expected his abilities to grow, but now he is quite sure that efforts are Rewarded. He does not know when he will reach C rank, but he is happy with what he got for now and needs to go back to the basics. The power of an intermediate skeleton was impressive enough, which makes him wonder about the prospect of getting even stronger. He wonders if Bony 5 will be able to spam a blizzard storm, while Bony 1 and Bony

2 will become swordmaster and spear master. He is so ready for it. Dong Hune arrives at work to find something wrong with the Atmosphere. Moreover, he notices someone with a green badge, implying a C- rank, a high-rank hunter. The leader calls Dong Hun to tell him about some big news. The leader talks about the pairing guild established by Giparing. Everyone in Korea knows about the prestigious guild established by the Korean ranker J Pang, the fine bow. The leader informs that the guild is going to explore a newly opened dungeon and needs porters. The pay is

10 times the posted amount And are even accepting e- rankers. The leader asks if Dong Hun is interested, but Dong Hune decides to take a look at the dungeon first. The leader explains that it is a newly discovered one near Padu and is quite tough. Five teams have already failed to clear it and its rank is undetermined, but the teams that tried to clear it were all amateurs and with the famous Perang going in, it would not be that difficult. Moreover, Dong Hune will just be a porter, so he Does not even have to fight.

So, the leader suggests working his part to get money. Dong Hune thinks about what to do because the 10-fold reward is probably hazard pay for the dungeon. He is mentally exhausted from that orc encounter yesterday, but the offer is quite tempting. Even the dark lord talked about going to dungeons above one's ranks to level up faster in his interview. So, Dong Hune decides to join and since the expedition is one week From now on, he decides to take the week off. The leader agrees and even offers to treat him to a meal soon. Later, Dong

Hun summons his skeletons, feeling proud that his training really paid off and the skeletons will keep growing stronger and if they keep up, he will be able to become an A ranker as well. He starts the training once again to see what D-rank skeletons can do and the results are more than satisfactory. Dong Hune is stunned because the power is almost Equal to a C rank. He knew they got stronger but never thought to this extent. First of all, he needs to change his training gear because the wooden scarecrows are useless now and for that

he needs to spend more money. The skeletons are stronger now, but the real problem is Dong Hune himself. What if a powerful opponent gets near him instead of the skeletons? It would not matter how strong the skeletons are because it will all be over then and there. He Notices the mage skeleton approaching who points its staff at Dong Hune and casts a spell. Seems like the skeleton can read his mind and even nods his head to confirm it. Dong Hune is shocked at the discovery because the skeleton only used to follow his orders, but now

they can express their opinion. The tank skeleton approaches from behind and when he has his master's attention, it points towards the training gear. Obviously, Dong Hune has no idea what it is trying To imply. The shield skeleton starts fighting the other skeletons, proving his shield to be stronger than all. If the bone knight helps with the training, Dong Hun would not need to buy any extra equipment. He asks Bony Tu to attack him to test the air shield around him. The skeleton does as he is told and attacks Dong Hun who remains unharmed even after

the impact. Dong Hun is satisfied with the results. So, he tells them to continue their training. The training Seems to be going well as Dong Hune receives the notification that the skeleton's strength is increasing. But the shocking thing is that the status window has been unlocked due to the first growth after the awakening. Now, Dong Hun can see the status window for each bone head individually. He finds that because of the training, Bony 1, Bony 2, and Bony 3 have different stats than the others. So, all his efforts so far have not been in vain.

Dong Hun Thinks he just needs to raise them comprehensively to make them the world's strongest skeletons. At the station, Dong Hun carries his bag in which he brought a sleeping bag and emergency food since his position here is to be a porter here. Dong Hune heads to the crowd where the participating mercenaries are ordered to wait in front of the dungeon they are going to enter. The dungeon is quite close to Padu station, so a dim energy can be seen at A radius of 200 m. From the looks of it, it looks like an average

dungeon has been generated naturally, but adventurers still get nervous looking at it since it is a high difficulty dungeon. They also know that the thicker the color that's around the hole, the higher the chance of the dungeon being complex. However, they feel relieved to have powering with them. However, Dong Hune thinks it is nonsense to believe that they will be safe just because they Are with a big guild. There are a lot of dungeons in this world, and countless hunters have gone missing in them. But who cares about the sacrifices and deaths that get overshadowed

by the luxurious spotlight of the rankers? But still, Dong Hune is going to put his life on the line and risk it all. Someone from behind calls for him, but when he turns around, there's no one there. However, he still hears someone talk about his D rank, even when he has An E-rank plate. Dong Hun looks around, but when he finds absolutely no one, he asks her out. However, the girl demands him to answer first as it questions the reason he hid his ability from Ping to participate as a porter. Dong Hun thinks the person

has misunderstood something because Perang is full of A-rank hunters. So being a D or E does not make a difference. The girl says his expression is making him even more sus and suspects that he is a spy who takes Acting classes. The girl finally emerges as she says he has taken Pering's intelligence capability too lightly. Dong Hun is surprised to see her with a golden plate that is only given to C ranks or higher. Just with that, Dong Hune can tell that she is the first rank among South Korea's 37 rankers. the Dark Empress, Gi

Soyol, and Gui Perangs only little sister. Dong Hune trembles because thanks to her assassination unique ability, she is the number one Person one should not make angry. Leaving aside the scary part, Dong Hun cannot believe he got a chance to talk to the ranker he admires. He tries to explain that she misunderstood something because he is just a D rank and if someone is competing with Pang, they should also be a big one who would never use someone like him. So lets out an intimidating aura before laughing and apologizing because turns out she is kidding.

Dong Hun did not expect this Turn of events. Dong Hune can't understand her at all. Why would someone of her class pull a prank on a nobody? Dong Hune wonders if she did a background check on him because training the skeletons like crazy might get the attention of rankers, but it is a god-given opportunity for a ranker to show attention. So smiles brightly as she asks if he got flustered because of what she did. So suddenly and apologizes for being rude. She admits she thought It was interesting that a porter with an E-rank badge would

have the skills to house 5 Dank energies inside them. Dong Hun has nothing to say about the matter because she is right. But then he notices that she grasped his strength using energy detection. Soil admits that her older brother asked her to join the second team's expedition as the scout. So she was looking for a porter and then there just happens to be a susporter right here. She asks Dongh if he wants To volunteer in scouting since he is the most capable among the porters and seems like he would not get scared and run away.

Dong Hune sweats at that, but Soy claims to have an eye for people and promises to double the reward. Now, that's an offer no one can refuse, and our broke protagonist is no exception. Dungeons rank, depending on the difficulty, starts from E all the way to S. This rank is not set by the system, so humanity had to subjectively rank and Quantify it. Even the S ranker, White Shadow, says there is no way to know a dungeon's rank, but to go inside and check it yourself. There is a tip to check the brightness of the

color that surrounds the dungeon. The darker it is, the more likely it is to be a higher level dungeon. But even this method was not accurate. So, the association had to set up a standard that if the dungeon cannot be cleared even with five or more hunters of the same rank, increase the Rank of the dungeon. If five or more A-ranked hunters participated, but the dungeon could not be cleared, then the corresponding dungeon becomes designated as an S-rank. It was a method that inevitably required someone's sacrifice and the unranked dungeon our protagonist is about to

enter is something like that. But they could not just send their main forces in, so they sent the scouting team first. Thanks to that, Dong Hun could smell the dungeon's air Much faster than the other mercenaries. As he entered, the first thing he noted was the cave and the luminescent pearls that solved the vision problem. However, one suggests taking the pearls to sell them at a decent price. But thankfully, another person warned him not to touch anything recklessly. Everyone on the team is relaxed because the whole team got an A-rank badge except Soil, who is

an S-ranker. Soil tells them to prepare themselves as she orders them to look Around while the guide Kang Sunwuk has to look for an exit while covering for the porter. Sunwuk is confident in his skills because of his alias guide, which is a name given by the system for being exceptionally good at finding the way on dungeons. Soil leaves with the rest. So Sunwuk asks Dong Hun if he is nervous. When Dong Hune affirms, Sunwuk tells him to keep being nervous because this dungeon has more than one or two suspicious things about it. When even

The dark empress is telling them to be on alert, the dungeon is excessively quiet and the structure is simple, so there is a high chance that there would not be monsters. If something lived in this small cave, there should be a slight ringing, sound, or vibrations. Sunwuk concludes all these things indicate there might be some hidden gimmick, leaving Dong Hun impressed. Sunwuk boosts that he has been in the dungeon business for many years and Points to look for an exit for now. Dong Hun notes that it is the opposite direction from the other hunters, but

since he thinks it would be fine, he starts following Sunwuk. Sunwuk says he is anxious because there are no traps or hints so far, and his body feels heavy. Dong Hun also has the chills. So he asks if he is sure they should continue going forward. Sunwuk is also not sure because this is the first time he has felt this way. Even meeting a ranker did not make Him feel like this. It feels like there might be some sort of ridiculous being here. So Sunwuk asks Dong Hun to summon something since he is a necromancer

so that he would be able to save himself at least if the situation comes down to it. Dong Hun summons five skeletons consuming half his energy. But Sunwuk does not seem impressed. He notices something and instantly feels a heavy presence which shocks Dong Hun. But he still tells him to keep walking towards An open area ahead because he feels the presence of several beings. It could be a previous team or monster, but they would not know until they reach it. They start moving forward until so much pressure that Dong Hune can't even keep his eyes

open. The mage skeleton notices his trembling leg, so he summons air shield around Dong Hune, but the shield shatters, making him cough blood. Dong Hune scolds the skeleton because the pressure is enough to shatter a skill The moment it is cast. Thankfully, the skeletons support him, but Sunwuk is already far ahead. Dong Hun cannot believe that a newly appeared dungeon in Pu turns out to be a super high difficulty dungeon that makes even an A-ranker tense. Dong Hun wants to live because becoming a ranker comes after he survives. He somehow keeps moving forward until he

receives a notification that he has reached the stage named an elderly man with white hair filled with Deep resentment. Dong Hun is bewildered by the notification because who wouldn't? The system also provides that his resentment is so deep that icy frost forms in his hair, so he needs to be defeated. After entering the room, Dong Hune concludes that the white-haired elderly man must be the boss of this dungeon. His attention is diverted by a group of men who seem relieved to see them and ask if they are the reinforcement troops. Dong Hune wonders If they

are the hunters who tried to avoid the pressure and reach this place. The men notice Sunwuk's purple badge, which indicates an A-rank hunter and the skeletons of a necromancer. So, they ask for help. Sunwuk decides to distribute the emergency food. Dong Hune is slightly upset at seeing him run away on his own, but that's how dungeons work. Dong Hune hands over water and food that the men readily take, but he knows he could end up like them if he makes one Wrong move. Sunwuk tells them to eat slowly and probes for info. One man decides

to speak on behalf of his team and says that he is a B-rank hunter, the highest rank among the survivors. He describes this place as hell because he has been hunting for quite something, but never encountered such a strange dungeon. He tells them there is no exit and no matter which way you go, the cave brings you to this same door. They were unable to leave after being bound by the Aura. So all they could do was challenge what was beyond this door. But the clear condition is insane because no one can beat the elderly

man filled with resentment. No matter which rank, they are all infants before the old man. But the B ranker is sure the results will be different with an A ranker hunter and is optimistic about getting out of here. However, Dong Hune asks the reason for their survival if the boss is as strong as they say. The hunter informs him that The old man does not destroy people. He simply accepts challengers and conducts some sort of test. They do not know the details, but the old man just subdued them painfully and clicked his tongue, saying, "This

one's not fit." and threw them outside. Dong Hune finds it confusing, but the B- ranker is even more confused because the old man is a human, and this is the first time a dungeon boss has been a human since the world changed. Dong Hune is shocked, Thinking if such a thing is even possible. Whatever the case, they must open the door and complete the mission to find an exit. However, he can't trust Sunwuk since he is a hunter specialized in guiding. He is thinking about it when Soil and the other arrive at the scene. After

gauging the situation, Soil decides to head in right away since the survivors are not doppelgangers or traps. Moreover, it is bothering her that the aura is so intense, but they Can't just sit around. The survivors celebrate the presence of the A-rankers from the pairing guild, but Soil orders them and Dong Hune to stay here while the hunters decide to take care of the boss. Dong Hune knows that an Srank stands in a completely different realm from an A rank. And to top it off, Soil is ranked within the top thousand A rankers. She orders the

others to prepare themselves as she opens the door and heads inside. Dong Hune patiently Waits until the hunters come outside, crashing, including the S-rank soil. Dong Hune is shocked to see that since it has not even been 10 minutes since they went in. Even the S-rank soil is incapacitated quickly, but she is furious at being declared a non-fit. So, she asks Dong Hun to hand over an advanced level potion from his bag because she is going back inside. Dong Hun can't comprehend why she wants to go back after getting beaten up like that. So he

asks if she is really sure. So says that the old man only subdues the opponents painfully and she is determined to show him if she is truly fit or not. Donghun notes that fit is a term usually used when a master is seeking a disciple. So the old man's resentment could be from not finding suitable talents. So drinks the potion and heads back inside. And so's infinite challenge begins, the result being the same every time. She is infuriated at The old man because he really is talented in all arts but she is not giving up

anytime soon. So a day passes by and then the second third and fourth day but she does not stop challenging even more infuriated now despite her battered condition. Dong Hun thinks even if Gi Pang himself comes to rescue her the problem would ensue because he has a feeling that even five rankers might not be able to defeat the old man. Soil admits that the old man is strong but She is determined to keep challenging until she has a breath left. Dong Hune is impressed by a ranker's mindset, but everyone is frustrated right now, so he

cannot just wait here doing nothing. He belatedly notes that all the hunters here have gone through the door and come back except him. So he approaches Soil to tell her that he wants to go inside as well. She is taken aback at the suggestion because a porter wants to enter a dungeon that even a ranker Failed. The hunter with red hair tells him to know his place and carry things like a porter. He is even ready to take out his sword, but Soil stops him and asks Dong Hun if he wants to go inside because

he does not trust her. Dongun explains it is not like that. She reminds him that he is a porter according to the contract, so he cannot voice his opinions in dungeon exploration and asks why he wants to challenge it. Duncan explains that the Old man is looking for someone fit, and he figured that the old man's resentment might be related to finding a worthy disciple, and a worthy disciple means potential that does not necessarily need to be perfect. There is a chance that the old man is not talking about their current skill level. Soil asks

if he plans to make the old man his master rather than defeat him. So, Dong Hune suggests that maybe the hidden clear condition since dungeons have Alternative ways to clear them sometimes. Soil ponders some more and asks if he thinks he has more potential than her. Dong Hun realizes that things are getting heated. So, he tells them he highly doubts that will be the case, but Soil is still on him, saying that he did not deny the possibility entirely. Dong Hun once again explains that everyone here has experienced pain except him. So, he feels like

the odd one out here. Thankfully, Soil smiles at that and says He is showing his true colors now. She claims to know from the start that he is suspicious because he has the eyes of a wolf on the prowl. She asks if he is after the dungeon's reward or hoping for some fortuitous encounter during the raid. Dong Hune really thinks that Soy should be a fortune teller, not a ranker because of her ability to read others by just looking. Soil gives him permission to try out since there is no other solution and she needs a

break. Dong Hune is surprised at the opportunity but she tells him he only gets one chance since the emergency rations are running out. Dong Hune thanks her, heads towards the door, and starts the mission with multiple notification screens popping up in front of him. After encountering a bright light, he finds himself in a dark room. The aura so intense that he can't even stand. The old man comments that the man before him is not even worth looking at, and decides to get rid of Dong Hune. The old man opens his eyes, causing Dong Hune to

feel even more pressure, but he gets a notice that he is facing the memory of a cursed soul, a hidden condition for cursed necromancers. Dong Hun can't believe that he just unlocked an S-rank skill of memory recreation. and even more that he is currently using the skill on the old man. The system tells him that it is recreating the memory of the cursed soul, master of all techniques, so he Will be transported shortly. The white light flashes again and Dong Hune finds himself in a snowy terrain with the master who is lamenting at the fact

that there are no suitable candidates. The old man thinks this is a meaningless life since he worked hard to only throw it all away. Dong Hune looks around wondering if it is another world, but the old man's emotions and memories hit him. The old man continues talking to himself that once one knows how to Master the flow of ki, all techniques become one. The old man who transcended any and all life for a very long time. However, even Ki could not stop him from aging. Now drinking cold water feels like swallowing poison. So it is

agonizing and he is thirsty. But the old man is determined to not die like this because dying at this point would be unfair. The old man just wants to find one disciple to pass down his ability. But there is no one with enough talent. He cannot go on life this. So he sells his soul just to leave behind his complete self. The skill ends, so Dong Hune feels a gust of wind before he is teleported back to the dark room. He looks around, but the pressures come back as the master of all techniques stares at

him. He feels suffocated, but there is also hope now. The old man can tell that Dong Hun peered into his soul and gets curious about him. Dong Hune admits doing so because he is determined To inherit his vast power and knowledge. However, the old man thinks he has nothing other than being somewhat interesting and increases the pressure on Dong Hune. But Dong Hune says he will never find a disciple at this rate and people will remember him as a stubborn ghost filled with obstinacy. The old man feels offended by the comment and decides to break

his leg to teach him a lesson. Dong Hun asks him to wait as he explains that he has mastered every Technique when the people of this world struggle to master even one in their lifetime. The old man thinks there must be another genius like him. But Dong Hune tells him that the woman who came before him is the strongest in this world. Dong Hun internally feels a sting at the old man's reaction because a ranker like Ji Soy was his ultimate goal. But the old man takes the bait as he can't believe that she is

one of the strongest and thinks that he is being Tricked. Dong Hun tells him to look into his eyes to find out for himself if he is lying or not. The old man can tell that he is telling the truth, but the truth is unfortunate. So, Dong Hune offers himself since no one meets the standard. He asks the old man to pass his abilities to him, but the old man thinks he is being shameless and wants to teach him a lesson. Dong Hune explains that he is not asking him to teach him directly. As he

looks at the Status screen and summons his skeletons, he says that the old man can surely see their potential. So the old man pers, Dong Hune thinks that growing skeletons have limitless potential and with such potential, all of them have different unique abilities. He explains to the old man that it will be easier to teach them, and since he wants a single heir, he does not need to worry because he will be the one to inherit it all. Dong Hune continues to pitch that the Skeletons do not feel pain, so they have more endurance than

anyone. The old man scrutinizes them before turning away, making Dong Hune fear for the worst. Fortunately, the old man finds it amusing and ironic that the successor he was looking for was not a human, but an undead. The old man comments that the skeletons must have been exceptional warriors in life, and he has always wanted such disciples. Teaching more than one is a bit tricky, but the old Man decides to compromise. Thus, Dong Hune fulfills the hidden condition. The old man asks Dong Hune to promise that he will inherit all that he possesses despite the

trials and will leave a mark of him somewhere in the world. The status screen explains that the hidden condition is to be recognized by the master of all techniques. So, Dong Hun promises the old man that he will inherit it no matter what. The old man looks happy and with that, Dong Hun Successfully clears the stage. Dong Hun wakes up on the hospital bed and gets up to find Gitso standing in the room. He has no recollection how he ended up here, but Soil introduces herself as the vice guild master of the Pang Guild, also

known as the Dark Empress. Of course, Dong Hune already knows that, but does not know what she is doing here. He does not remember what happened after clearing the dungeon. So, he must have lost consciousness. So, admits that She was surprised because she thought the boss was impossible to clear, but a porter did the job. Dong Hun gets scared because she keeps staring at him like that, but he asks the thousand question. What is the vice guild master of a major guild came to find him? Soil takes a seat as she says that she is

curious how he cleared the absurd dungeon and its reward. She asks if he really became the old man's disciple. Dong Hune understands that her questions are valid Because the dungeon was hers and he was just given a single opportunity. So from her perspective, he is just some random guy who came along and stole her achievement. A more violent ranker might have already beheaded him for stealing their prey. She asks about his pondering, but Dong Hune asks what the news article say about the dungeon exploration. So Yu tells him that they reported that the Pam Guilds

advanced team successfully cleared the dungeon And had all survivors sign confidentiality agreements. Dong Hune is glad that the public does not know he was the one who cleared the dungeon, so he thanks her. So Yu comments that he is more mature than he looks. While most hunters would want to show off their achievement to the world, Dong Hun says that safety comes first for him. So does not want him to thank her as it is also a matter of pride for the pairing guild. Moreover, no one would believe that a Porter was the MVP of

the expedition instead of a ranker. Dong Hune understands that they are keeping it a secret to save face and if he reveals the truth, he might discreetly dealt with. Upon asking, So tells him that he was out for 3 days since coming out of the dungeon. Dong Hun decides to not babble about the rewards as it could put him in danger. So he tells her that he is still not sure what he got as a reward. He asks for some time to figure Things out and she does not need to worry about him escaping because

no one can escape the eyes of the dark empress. So stares at him before allowing him the time to sort things out and takes her leave. Dong Hune flops back as he thinks about his spectacular of a life. Awakening after 3 years meeting a ranker and the strange dungeon on top of that. Plus he could end up on the wrong side of Pingang if he is not careful. He receives a notice to check his clear Rewards and finds that his energy has permanently increased by 20 and he has acquired an S-rank skill of teaching of

all techniques. Dong Hune now has three skill and two of them are Srank. So he cries happy tears. He can read the memories of the dead but is not too impressed by it because he does not know its use. He keeps scrolling to find the teaching skills effects and immediately stands up to do outside. Dong Hun uses the teaching skill to summon the old man Who seems happy to be out. Both the old man and Dong Hune are happy to see each other, but Dong Hune receives a punch for calling for the old man so

late. The old man says he is lazy and would not be able to keep up, but Dong Hune explains that he called him as soon as he regained his senses. Besides that, Dong Hune cannot figure out how the old man hit him when he is incapable of physically influencing this world. But the old man can read his mind by just Looking at his expression. So, he explains that since Dong Hun is connected to him mentally, he has no trouble inflicting pain on him. The old man tells him to get started with the training immediately. But

when Dong Hune is about to summon skeletons, he tells him to stop because they need to decide what he is going to learn today. The old man understands the talents of those skeletons. But the problem is Dong Hune. Dungh wonders if the old man is trying To teach him as well. But the old man starts explaining that he got his nickname after learning and perfecting countless talents. So it is all up to Dong Hun to learn. Dungh tries telling that his talent is trash, but the old man shuts him up and scolds him because he

claims to be able to make trash comparable to a genius. He says it is a good thing that he can exercise physical influence on him, making Dong Hune tremble. The old man finds it fortunate Because there are some arts he created but never had the chance to use. His methods may be painful, but since Dong Hun seems quite tenacious, he should be okay. Dong Hun does not understand why someone else is excitedly giving an estimate for this body, so he tells the old man that his heart is not ready yet. However, the old man shuts

him up once again, claiming that many wanted to use his grand technique of the celestial artisan. But Dong Hune thinks he should Have used the skill much earlier if he can turn trash into a genius. The old man can tell what he is thinking. So he explains that he must use his life energy as payment to use this technique. And if he changed a boneless disciple into a genius, his body would have melted and disappeared. Dong Hune asks about this case right now, but the old man says it should be all right since he is

already dead. Dong Hune thinks the old man could have chosen anyone who Challenged him, but the old man hits him again, calling him talentless. He explains that this technique is something that turns trash into genius. So, it is only useful if the target is at the level of food waste. Yep, Dong Hun's called food waste. But the old man continues to say that the technique does not work in people who are not at that level because their bodies have already been influenced by other energies. Compared to them, Dong Huns body is very Clean and weak.

Not only that, but this is also the second best way since born geniuses are more impressive than fabricated ones. Even after being insulted in 2K, Dong Hune still thinks the old man is talking facts. He likes the idea of getting stronger along with the skeletons. So when the old man asks if he is ready, Dong Hune affirms energetically. However, he asks the old man to wait just after getting started. But the old man says it has not even Started yet. Dong Hun motivates himself by thinking about being a ranker. But this is just the beginning.

The old man compliments his guts for once and increases his pace, but Dong Hune still endures and even obtains a C-rank pain resistance skill. After beating the crap out of him, the old man finally stops as that is all for the grand technique. Dong Hune spent, but the old man tells him he is not a lost cause entirely. Dong Hune asks if they are done for the Day, but gets informed that they still have 30 minutes left. The old man picks him up like a kitten and points at the skeletons waiting for him. Dong Hun

already wants to die. The old man teaches that the foundation of all professions is physical strength. So, they start off with the posture. The skeletons follow the posture, but Dong Hune looks like he can collapse any minute because the old man beat the hell out of him. And now he is demanding a Posture out of him. The old man once again calls him talentless, followed by the compliment that he has tenacity. Moreover, the master should not be weaker than their summoned beings. Dong Hune knows all this and that is why he is trying his best

to endure this hellish training. His muscles are already torn and can't recover, so he does not understand the point of this training. Dong Hun's completely spent, but fortunately, the old man calls it a Day. He tells Dong Hune to do this physical training every morning, and he has no option but to comply. The old man vanishes when the teaching skill ends, so Dong Hun flops on the ground. The skeletons gather around him, so he asks Bony one to carry him. As soon as Dong Hune enters, the leader calls him because the survivors from the last

expedition are here. Dong Hune recognizes them, so they strike up the conversation. They mention that he looks Better looking and muscular, making him jolly. Dong Hune now notices that his shoulder and skeletal structure have changed as a result of a 30-inute massage. Putting that aside, Dong Hun wonders why these hunters are here to see him, so he asks them. One of them introduces himself as Kang Jo, a C-rank hunter. He is impressed by Dong Hun's actions and attitudes back then. So, he marked him down as someone to team up with. Dong Hune clarifies that he

is Just an E-rank necromancer mercenary, but they do not care about it as there is a C-rank dungeon they want to hire him for. They know Dong Hun is struggling financially, so he glares at the leader for sharing tmi. The leader seems to have sweet talked the guy by selling him out to secure the job again, but it is true that he needs money. J explains that the dungeon is tricky for a C rank, but the rewards are pretty good, even including a power potion. Dong Hun is shocked to hear about the power potion because

it is a rare reward from dungeons regardless of rank. It is a highle potion known to cure any curse or illness. Joo says that Dong Hune will be a member this time, but Dong Hune is more interested in the payment. So, J tells him it will be a fair share of profit. Dong Hun is surprised and starts calculating in case a rare potion drops. An average price would be about 50 million1 and he will get approximately 8.33 million1. He loves the money. So when J asks again, he readily agrees. He is also curious to see

the power of his evolved skeletons in action and this is a good chance for it. J tells him to arrive at the location on Monday, ending their meeting. Dong Hune explains to the old man that the hunters here grow stronger through the dungeons. The old man finds it laughable that the humans here try to run before they can walk. Dong Hune explains that he needs money And the old man understands since he also prefers practical experience over studying at a desk. Dong Hune feels elated at the permission, but the old man warns him he will

not tolerate skipping training since he knows that he can be summoned even inside the dungeon. He decides to start the massage once again, much to Dong Hune's horror. Dong Hune feels sore all over when the old man calls it a day. He thinks he only survived thanks to his newly acquired Skill to numb senses when the pain intensifies. He is glad that the skill has the potential to grow, but the old man compliments him for enduring well. Dong Hune thanks the elder, but the old man thinks they can raise the intensity of their training a

bit starting tomorrow, making him shriek. The old man ignores him as he calls for everyone to gather around for the real training. He tells them to assume the same posture as last time and announces that he will Teach each one of them a technique each day. The old man points at the sword skeleton, who confusedly looks at Dong Hune. The old man says the skeleton has no skill, but they can develop it as they go. He orders the skeleton to swing, but it obviously looks terrified. So, Dong Hun has some motivation, but his own experience

is so horrid that it makes the skeleton tremble. The skeleton starts swinging, but the old man calls Dong Hune to ask what he thinks the Swordsmanship is. Dong Hun's answer is as simple as it is a technique that uses a sword. The old man expected as much and tells him not to overthink it. He explains that swordsmanship is simply the skill of handling a sword. Nothing more, nothing less. He asks Dong Hun to pick up wooden sword. So he gets that the old man not only wants the skeletons to inherit all techniques, but also wants

him to inherit them as well. The old man orders Dong Hune to wield it Without overthinking it. So he does as he has instructed. The old man praises him, but Dong Hune can't stomach it well after all the trash talk. The old man, however, teaches like a real instructor, teaching each step keenly. He explains that Dong Hune swung his sword in a way most comfortable for a slash, and he could see that he put his life into that swing. Dong Hune can't believe it, but the old man asks if the slash can become powerful. if

he adds speed and strength Into it. Dong Hun makes a blank face, so the old man explains that any slash becomes powerful with strength and speed. Dong Hune finally understands that the old man wants him to create his very own slash and then add strength and speed to it. The old man can see that his disciple is starting to understand, so he starts explaining more aspects of the swordsmanship that Dong Hune and the skeleton will learn. Dong Hun watches with awe as the old man performs a slash Of his own as he explains that there

is no need for theoretical discussions. He just needs to strengthen his swing and slash. The old man claims that if Dong Hune does that, everyone will eventually use his slash as the standard. This motivates Dong Hune because he realizes that his posture does not matter because it is his swing. He starts practicing and acquires a C-rank Ren skill. The guild master of the Perang guild is ranked 58th in the world named Guia Pering, also known as the fine bow, is busy doing paperwork when his sister Gue Soy comes for a visit. This prompts him to

get up as this is the first time she has come to see him. Soil takes a seat as she explains that she has been worried about something and asks if a hunter around D rank suddenly exhibits strength beyond that of an A ranker. Guy Perang finds the question a bit odd but answers that usually even with getting a fortuitous opportunity or learning Skill, it takes time to make it one's own. So it is very unlikely if such a case existed. The only explanation would be that they had been hiding their ability. Soil knows that the

person she is talking about was not hiding it because even rankers can't hide their abilities from her eyes due to her S-rank search skill. Gay Pang asks for the details, but Soil hesitates since she has not made a report to her brother about that dungeon yet due to being Defeated repeatedly. Soil never felt so powerless like that before. So she can't comprehend how a D-rank hunter could achieve the feat. Certainly his first impression was out of the ordinary, so she got curious about him and gave him a chance. But he actually cleared the dungeon. He

also promised to tell her once he sorted things out, so she plans to wait for now. Guy Puran gets suspicious at her serious and smiling face since she only ever cared about Wielding a dagger. So blushes but denies the claims and gets up to take her leave but her brother teases her from behind. J and the other near the dungeon entrance and welcome Dong Hune. J already texted the details so they could head inside right away. The dungeon is a sea rank a desert field type. The main mission is to eliminate monsters and defeat the

boss. Very typical. Dong Hune mentions applying sunscreen and packing emergency ice water. As J mentioned in The text, Dong Hune notices that there are more people than he mentioned before. He does not know the two girls tagging along. So J explains that he invited two F-rank porters, but they have already paid them, so he would not be charged. Additionally, Dong Hune thinks it makes sense to have someone help pick up the ore and items dropped in the dungeon. He thinks a C-rank dungeon would not be too difficult since his skeletons can defeat an orc, the

Highest D-rank monster. They enter through the gate and find themselves in a desert where all their stats are decreased by 10% due to the harsh weather. The others are feeling too much drained, but Dong Hun's not that affected since this is child's play compared to the hellish massages he receives from the old man. He summons his skeletons that parade like models, becoming the center of attention instantly. One of the hunters even Compliments that the skeletons look stronger than the last time. Joo gathers attention to tell them that the type of monsters here are scorpions and

snakes. The others feel frightened at the mention of snakes, but Joo consoles that they are mere seank monsters and tells the porters to follow them closely. Thus, the march starts, but the environment is too much for the hunters. Joo suddenly tells everyone to halt, but there's nothing in front, so they become Nervous. But soon enough, scorpions start raining down on them. Joo starts slashing them down as he orders the others to get in battle formation. Everyone starts fighting while Dong Hune watches from the side as he notes that the C-rank Desert scorpions seem as strong

as the orc he faced on the training grounds. Dong Hune asks Bony 5 to use an air shield on him and orders the others to wipe the scorpions. Dong Hune ensures his safety, so the tank Skeleton uses the taunt skill as the others move forward to defeat the desert scorpions. Bonnie W uses his sword to attack that can't pierce their defense, but the attacks working, so Dong Hune orders it to keep going. The skeletons slash through the scorpion, so it is going smoother than he thought. Dong Hune watches the skeleton skill and assumes that Dong

Hun had a fortuitous encounter, but Dong Hune humbles himself, saying that the others dealt With the largest group already. Dong Hune laughs it off, saying that having a fortuitous encounter improves one's personality. So, Dong Hune plays along, but he can't help but be wary of how much he says fortuitous encounter. On top of that, everyone is quite strong, so Dong Hun does not think they needed to bring an E-rank hunter as a mercenary, but they know that it was him who received the reward from the high difficulty dungeon. However, due to the Confidentiality contract with

Parang, they can't openly talk or ask him about it. So, they only have one way to answer their questions, and that's dungeon exploration. There is no CCTV, and no traces will be left behind as accidents frequently happen inside dungeons. For now, Dong Hun just decides to be careful since it is only a suspicion right now. behind him. Jaw watches him and smirks. The party reaches the stage of the ancient desert scorpion king, but the System informs that they need a sacrifice to break the seal of the ancient desert scorpion king. They need to place two

offerings at top the altar, and the offerings must be living frank or higher hunters. Dong Hun never heard about this info, but the others also pretend to be oblivious, but their faces say it all. The frank porter asks the party leader, Jho, to explain, but he just repeats that they need two sacrifices and orders the girls to go Up. The girls question their sanity, but Jo and the others do not care because they intend to do it from the start. They reveal their plans, saying that if they want to receive high pay, they must pay

a high price. Dong Hune watches the scene thinking that Jaw is confident he can easily overwhelm him if he is behaving like that in front of him. Jiao orders the girls to go up the altar, but Dong Hune steps in front of them. Jaw asks if he is going against them and Comments that he is purer than he looks. Dong Hune tells him to shut up and asks for his goal to bring him here. He demands answers furiously, making Jiao believe that he did not clear the dungeon by sheer luck. Jato admits that they were

curious about the fortuitous encounter. They do not know who they cooked and beat the ranker, so they went so far as to bring him to the dungeon. They say they have no intention of fighting him, but Dongh does not believe Them. They say they already showed him what kind of people they are and even asked him to join, but if he wants to join them, he needs to share some of what he got from the fortuitous encounter. Dong Hune calls them crazy because they are inviting him to become a villain like them and even asking

for the rewards for it. Yeah, Dong Hun just wants to teach them a lesson. The villains offer Dong Hun to join their side and hand over his rewards as well, But no protagonist would do that, so he summons Bony 3 to wipe them out. The other two get scared, but J slashes through all the arrows as he tells Dong Hun that he will regret his decision. Dong Hune refuses to team up with a bunch of animals as his skeletons start fighting. Jo thinks he has gotten stronger just because he gained a chance and fights off.

Don Hun notes that Ji Ho is stronger than he originally thought. He is a C-rank hunter, but his strength Is close to B rank. He continues fighting, but when things do not look good, Jiho reveals that he is not the only one they have to deal with. The reason they fearlessly wandered into an unknown rank dungeon is still hidden, but Dong Hune notices blood lust, so he warns Bony one in time, but even he can feel the impact. Someone emerges from behind Jho as he explains that the hunter behind him is an A- rank assassin

from the Shadow Lurkers. The A-rank Hunter asks if this is the guy who cleared the dungeon. Gay Soy could not because Dong Hun does not look particularly strong. Dong Hune knows there's no way out because only he knows it is a miracle. He lasted this long against B rank hunters. The girls apologize for causing trouble and thank him thinking this is the end. Dong Hune feels pity for them for ending up like this just because they are weak and decides to save them. Even if he is Against an A-rank assassin, he has a powerful ally

who is strong enough to trample A ranks into the ground. Dong Hune summons his teaching skill to summon the master of all skills who seems unimpressed because he already knew this would happen when a novice like Dong Hune started wandering around. Dong Hune insists that the situation is urgent so he needs some advice but the elder tells him to just accept his fate since he is no match for those guys. The Old man finds it pitiful that he claims to be his disciple but can't even handle such weaklings. Dong Hune tells him to stop lamenting

because if he dies, the old man will not be able to fulfill his dream. However, the old man scolds him for getting in this situation in the first place. And even if he has mastered all the techniques, he can't make the impossible happen. The assassin speaks up to ask what he gained from the opportunity, making Dong Hun realize That the villains only want to know the opportunity he was rewarded previously. So, there is a solution to his situation. They are trying to intimidate him and pretend to be in control here. But they will be in

trouble if Dong Hune does not cooperate to share his secrets. Even the old man seems impressed by his method. So, Dong Hun starts his plan and asks if they want to know about his opportunity. The assassin affirms that he is curious because it is the reward From the dungeon that even Guy Soy could not clear. Dong Hune agrees to tell his secret which pleases the assassin, but Dong Hune wants to fight the ones who backstabbed him, claiming that the frustration and resentment would not let him speak otherwise. If they don't like the deal, they can

just sue him. The assassin remains silent, but the girls feel frightened. So, Dong Hune explains that he has the mental illness of saving his pride. No matter what the situation, The assassin can tell he is scheming something, but Dong Hune waves it off, saying he can never deceive the eyes of an A ranker. The assassin sees that there's a point, making J nervous. Dong Hune continues to say that he knows his fate since he is against a shadow lurker. But even if he dies, he won't let the backstabbers walk away unscathed. He even threatens to

end his life right there if they do not believe him. But the villains stop him. The Assassin decides to give him half an hour, but threatens him along with it. Dong Hune agrees, but Jo trembles with fury, thinking about the circumstances. Dong Hun's already set, but the old man agrees to intervene as a form of practical guidance. The most difficult task is taking care of the assassin, so Dong Hune needs to conserve as much energy as possible. The old man teaches him a strategy for using his opponent's strength against them. Dong Hune thanks The elder

and orders his skeletons to attack. The fight breaks out and the skeletons seem to have the upper hand. The mage skeleton summons fireballs while the sword won Jo's sword and pushes him away. The assassin notes that their moves are flawless and clean, so Dong Hune might win the battle at this rate. However, the assassin seems shocked to find someone's presence at the dungeon entrance and wonders if the person is on the lookout. On the other Hand, Jo tries crawling, but Dong Hun overshadows him, making him terrified. The old man comments that the opponents are too

weak to call this real combat experience, but it is a good start. Dong Hun says he will get real combat experience with the assassin, but the old man scolds him for thinking he can win easily at his level. Dong Hun orders bony one but notices something coming. The elder tells him that another one like the assassin just joined the field And scolds him again for not thinking ahead. Dong Hune knows he is right because he does not have any tricks up his sleeves and he is still a weakling in the hunter world. He now questions

his decisions up till now, but Jiao laughs hysterically that they came with backup. Dong Hune knows he should run when another assassin appears at the scene, but turns out the newcomer is only here to warn them that Jiao Soil is here. Dong Hun's dumb struck at the Info, but the assassins plan to run away after hearing her name, leaving Jia Ho alone. Dong Hun is still confused as he watches the power of a ranker. At the dungeon entrance, Jiao Soil stands waiting, but she wonders if she is overreacting by following him this far, as if

she is stalking him. She was able to track him to this dungeon with Pang's info, but now she thinks it is not right because he promised he would tell her once he sorts things out. She decides to Wait a bit more and takes her leave. Inside the dungeon, Jhos minions are getting the beating of their life, but he refuses to die like this. He is determined to live and use everything he has to achieve that. Amidst the fight, Dong Hune can see that Jo can't defeat him by force, so he is planning to do something

to the porters behind him. Dong Hune orders the bony who ambushes Jo and severs his arm. Jrieks in pain, but Dong Hun knows J would not have Spared him if he were weaker, so he approaches the man and looks down on him. J curses him and tries to jump at him, but Bony slashes off another limb, making him drop to the ground while shouting. Jai Ho curses him some more and demands why he came before him. But Dong Hune reminds him that he is the one who appeared before Dong Hune. Jy wants to die already,

but Dong Hune says he will not be dying so easily. Jy grits his teeth and demands to die, but Bony Takes his hand off Dong Hune and drags him on the altar. Dong Hune remembers being told that they need two living sacrifices to open the boss room. After the sacrifices have been placed, the system checks for their condition. Dong Hune thinks he would have just backed out of this dungeon without clearing it. If this situation had not happened, but this is a different story since he gives what he gets. Repay kindness with kindness and avenge

wrongs with Vengeance. If someone sought to take his life, he would take theirs. Since the conditions have been met, the ancient seal lifts. Dong Hune wishes the sacrifices to live good lives in their next life. He wonders why soil is not here yet. The shadow lurkers ran away, fearing her arrival. So, if it were not for her, things could have gone wrong. He would have to fight two A-rank hunters and might have ended up on the altar instead. The door finally opens, But it leaves Dong Hun shocked because of the pressure. The scorpion king's rage

erupts to the heavens after being suppressed for ages. Even the skeletons are suppressed by the presence of a strong being, causing all stats to reduce by 20%. Now, this is something to worry about, but when the porter worries about him, he says it is still better than facing those shadow lurkers. The girl nervously agrees while Dong Hune tries to calm down. The old man pops up Behind him, saying, "Dong Hun does not need his help to handle such a lowly creature." The old man says if he can't even handle something like this, then it's better

for him to just die. Dong Hune asks him to not joke around with such a serious face. But the old man's not joking and takes his leave for the day. Dong Hune feels betrayed, but the system tells him the skill duration just ended. Dong Hune halts as he looks at the Scorpion King, screeching at him. In The end, he has to face that thing by himself, so he steals himself. Dong Hune steals himself and starts heading towards the gate with his skeletons. But when he does not find anything inside, he fears that the attack may

come from underground. So he orders Bony 5 to cast air shield. Dong Hune orders the others to spread out to make a formation. When everyone set, the scorpion king attacks from underground as expected. However, it ignored Dong Hune and attacked Bony 3, making him wonder if it had intelligence. The creature starts approaching others, but Dong Hune orders Bony 4 to use his skill to distract its attention. When the scorpion king starts approaching bony four, it uses block skill to block the creature. Dong Hun's glad to see that because now is his time, so he tells

everyone to attack at once. Dong Hun is not interested in finding a weak point because no one is strong against a gang up. However, the Scorpion king pushes the skeletons away. Although it is quite difficult, Dong Hune is definitely inflicting damage on it. So, he orders the skeletons to keep attacking without worrying about death. Dong Hune currently has 50 energy left, and as long as he has the energy left to summon skeletons, his skeletons are basically invincible. Thus, once a skeleton dies, Dong Hune summons it again to fight against the creature. In this way, the

skeletons defeat the Ancient desert scorpion king. Dong Hune feels relieved because he only has 10 energy left, and it would not have ended well if the creature resisted a bit more. The skill and stats of the skeletons increase after fighting a sea rank boss, while Dong Hune receives the ancient desert scorpion king's venom gland. He wonders if it is just an ingredient, but the system provides that there are about 20 types of toxic poisons inside it. It can be used as an Ingredient to make equipment or as a skill ingredient. Bony 3 suddenly starts reacting

to the venom gland, which fulfills a hidden condition of poison arrow making. Don Hune had no idea a skill could be unlocked in such a way, but he finally understands the reason the dark lord keeps chanting dungeon. Boon 3 acquires the skill of poison arrow, and with that, the dungeon's cleared, so they are able to get out. The porters cheer on their survival and Thank Don Hune who tells them to be careful in the future. After the girls leave, Don Hune proceeds to check the clear reward to find that he has obtained a B- rank

item, trace of the ancient desert. Dong Hune obtains that trace of ancient desert which is actually a key. The system provides that it is a key to uncovering the secret of a hidden relic. Dong Hune does not know what it does and wants someone to explain it to him. When soil appears Behind him, she thinks she has given him enough time to sort things out as he is already going on an expedition. Besides, if she did not come, Dong Hune probably would never have sought her out. Dong Hune feels nervous hearing that, but his skeleton

just shakes its skull. Dong Hune wonders if he should mix in some lies, but if she catches him lying, he would be doomed. So, Dong Hune decides to tell her the truth as it is more beneficial. Plus, he is a novice hunter Who knows nothing about this world, so he can use this opportunity to build a connection to a ranker. Dong Hun finally starts talking, saying he is going to tell her everything. But there is a condition. First, she needs to protect him until he grows stronger. However, Soil does not understand and asks if he

owes someone a debt, but Dong Hune tells her he just has some bullies after him. Soil asks about the second thing. So, Dong Hune tells her he is a rookie, so She needs to teach him what he does not know within reason. Soil is shocked to see the key, making Dong Hun surprised that the key is worth enough to incite such a reaction from a ranker. When Soy finds that he got it from the dungeon, she calls him extremely lucky. She explains that the chances of finding a medium in a regular dungeon are almost zero

as there are less than a hundred known in the world. Plus, it is bound to a person, so it can't be traded. Dong Hun still does not understand what it does. So, Soil explains that a medium is also kind of a fortuitous opportunity. As you delve into them, linked quests appear, and those linked quests increase in rank, eventually reaching Srank and above. Dong Hun's shocked to hear that, but Soil continues to say that even rankers, including her, are desperately searching for these items. She ponders a bit and accepts his condition, but she also has a

condition. Soil follows Dong Hun home, but is surprised to see that he is living in a shabby place like this. She evaluates that there are no surveillance devices or skills active here and no hunters above Dank around the building. So, Dong Hun should be safe now. After confirming the residence, she tells him she will be staying on the rooftop for the time being so he can let her know when he is going training tomorrow. Dong Hun remembers the conversation from earlier. She wants to monitor his training because she has been observing his energy since he

cleared the old man's dungeon. He has been growing stronger exponentially which got her curious about his rapid growth. He has already explained everything about the fortuitous opportunity from the old man to what kind of training he is receiving from him. The only problem left is the shadow lurkers. If they continue to threaten him, he is determined to give Back as much as he gets from them. But for now, our protagonist is getting a hellish massage from the old man who tells him that his body is starting to take shape. This means that they need to

increase the intensity. Dong Hune protests that this is just violence. He is furious that a trash is describing his grand technique of the celestial artisan with a word as vulgar as violence. The old man increases the intensity of the massage so high that Dong Hun's pain resistance upgrades. After the hellish treatment ends, Soy approaches him saying she can't get used to the fact that he has been undergoing this kind of training every day since then. Dong Hune explained everything related to the old man to Soy since she couldn't see him and couldn't follow just by

watching. The old man prompts Dong Hun to stand up as they still have 30 minutes left. Dong Hune knows he should not be lying down when his level Is so low. Today is Bony 3's turn. The skeletons are growing stronger, but Dong Hune has to learn and train with them as well. He opens the status window and is quite satisfied by the skill set. All skeletons have their unique kill and he learned each one of their skills except for the mage one. To learn this skill, Dong Hun needs to learn the use of key first.

The old man draws a circle and asks Dong Hun to sit cross-legged in it. After that, the old man tells him to Recite the formula of the great blue heart technique he taught him last time. It does not end with just reciting. Dong Hune also has to feel how the formless energy moves. Dong Hune starts doing as told. While the old man explains that breathing is the most crucial step in this technique. If he can't feel key while the old man trains his skeletons, he will judge Dong Hun is talentless and intensify the training. Dong

Hune concludes that the old man is planning To beat him to death if he can't keep up. So, he focuses on the technique. At night, Soy stands on the rooftop thinking if Dong Hun really became the disciple of that bizarre old man. She still remembers the countless times she was thrown by the old man, and the feeling still sends shivers down her spine. She thought it was all because of the fortuitous opportunity, but she has to acknowledge his determination to endure pain. She has no choice but to Observe him for now because the old man

she could not defeat is right beside him, making her wonder how far he will grow, but she is sure it will be exciting. At Shadow Lurker headquarters, the CEO asks again if they need support because of Goff. When the assassin affirms, the CEO says they are not that keen on interacting with the pairing guild either. The CEO is ranked 92 in the world. Alias Hellhound named Nick Jakan. The assassin before him Apologizes for his incompetency, but Hellhound asks if this is an opportunity to let him hold the rankers in the palm of his hand. The

assassin is sure that it is because of how much Gi Soyol is taking interest in it. Hellhound is tempted, so he flicks his finger and a woman appears before him. He asks about the shadow lurker schedule, so the woman tells him they are fully booked for the next month. Jakan ponders a bit and asks about Dong Hun's rank. So the assassin Tells him he is E-ranked. Jakan thinks he still has a long way to go, but still plans to go see Dong Hun himself in a month. On the other hand, Dong Hune continues his intense

training with Sooul as a bystander. When he is done, she approaches him and reminds her promise to protect him from an ambush until he grows stronger. Dong Hune remembers that, but he never thought she would be watching him 24/7. So argues that she would not be able to protect Him if she is not watching him all the time. But Dong Hun knows she is a ranker, so she has dungeons to clear and guild matters to attend to. So Yu tells him she has been watching him over two weeks now and even though she has been

neglecting her guild activities, there are still things she needs to do. So she gives him two options to choose from. First is that Dong Hun follow her around for 6 hours. While the second is that he uses the key he got back then. Dong Hune Summons the key in his hand while So explains that mediums are bound items, meaning it will be a solo dungeon. It might be safer to be inside the dungeon than being with her since it will be a place where even rankers can't interfere. Dong Hune thinks it will be dangerous inside

the B-rank dungeon, but Soil smiles as she says he does not realizes how much he has grown. It could be a good opportunity to check his strength, and Soil thinks he would not Have any trouble clearing it. Dong Hune blushes at being praised by a ranker because no one acknowledged him as an E-rank necromancer. He can't believe he is receiving someone's recognition. He thinks it is a good idea, so he chooses the second option. So while already knew he would, so Dong Hun decides to leave right away since he already finished his training. She tells

him to infuse his energy into the key to activate it. Dong Hun does as he is told which causes the Key to glow. After greeting So while Dong Hun is engulfed by the golden light and finds himself transported to the ancient desert where he discovers the pyramid. Dong Hune summons his skeletons and proceeds to move forward. He tells the skeletons to maintain formation as they follow him. Dong Hun knows they are bound to be weak as Dank entering a B-rank dungeons. So they must fight like the weak. The door opens, but as soon as Dong

Hune steps inside, the system Discovers a connection between the dungeon and Dong Huns profession. The dungeon starts transforming, but Dong Hune can't exit the dungeon now. The entrance closes off with such intensity that it shakes the ground, making Dong Hune fall. He entered with such confidence just to be struck in a situation like this. However, it is still fortunate that his skeletons are with him. So, he decides to scout the surroundings first. Bony 3 uses secure Vision skill to lighten the way. Dong Hun can see that there is an open space at the end, making

him wonder if this is the right path. But he has no choice but to go forward for now. He enters a bright place as the system notifies that he has discovered the resentment of the sun lance stage. Deep within the pyramid lies the warrior and absolute ruler of the ancient desert empire, the Sunlance. The mission is to break through the obstacles to reach the Sunlance. The Archer skeleton starts firing arrows at the lines of skeletons before them because they will have to defeat them all to aim for the next target. However, the attack comes at

Dong Hoon, who stops it in time. His skeletons start fighting head-on, including the mage skeleton that uses fireball to destroy the enemy. However, more skeletons start marching toward them, but Dong Hun does not seem worried at all. His tank skeleton breaks after the impact, but Dong Hune simply Summons him again, shocking the enemy skeletons. Dong Hune can just pick up a new spear if this one breaks to keep fighting the enemy. He uses pier skill to fight while his skeletons use their special skill during the combat. After this fight ends, the sun lands sleeping in

the pyramid awakens. The system notifies that the Sunlance is watching them and is even sneering at it as he asks if they can face him using this skill. Dong Hune does not know who this Person is, but he has cleared a dungeon far worse than this. He is the one who convinced the old man who even a ranker could not defeat. He decides to move forward with his skeletons, but triggers a warning as a 100 D rank skeleton spearman approach them. Dong Hune wonders if this dungeon has a gimmick PF spawning infinite skeletons until he

reaches the destination because at this rate there will be no end to this. He asks Bony 4 to hand over the shield Because he is going to tank from now on. Dong Hune asks Bony 5 to cast air shield on him while the others watch his back. He plans to ignore the mobs and run straight to the boss room. He can either reach the destination or fall before he does. So, let's roll the dice. Following the plan, our protagonist starts dashing towards the mob skeletons as he guides his own summons. The plan's working so far,

so the system tells him to reach the Sunlance. Dong Hun gives his all to Reach the bright door, but he falls down, causing Sunlance to mock Dong Hune. Dong Hune wants to argue that he is just an E-rank hunter. But more mob skeletons arrive, making him wonder if this is the end. His skeletons fight, but Dong Hune knows that fighting now means death, so he needs to focus only on running. After fighting for an eternity, Dong Hun notices the mountain of bone of skeletons he just fought. This suggests that the dungeon is a Circular structure,

so whether he goes forward or backward, he will just end up meeting them again. He pers on what to do next while only having 20 stamina and 30 skeletons in front of him. He has no choice but to block them away with his skeletons and somehow breaking through in the meantime. Dong Hun hikes up the mountain of bones, but he has no idea where the spear lance could be. He notices a black hole on the ceiling, so he calls the bony and tells it to throw Him up there with all its might. The Sunlance taunts

him again for finally figuring it out and threatens to turn him to ashes, but Dong Hune is determined to see who wins in the end. Dong Hune jumps up to finally reach the Sunlance, making the mob skeletons disappear. Dong Hune has one arm into the void, but it triggers a warning that the Sunlance is appearing. However, Dong Hune gasps as he suddenly starts using his memory recollection skill and is About to teleport shortly. In ancient times, the Sunlands takes his spear and brutally uses it against the forces. He says they were the ones who started

bullying him first and ostracized him, so they can't blame him for being harsh. He stands before the people who bow down to him and ask him to save them, but he smiles as he refuses, saying the desert only needs death to survive. Sunlance orders his forces to raise their spears to burn everything to ashes like the Parched sun. He laughs hysterically when his orders are fulfilled. With this, the memory reproduction skill ends and Dong Hun is able to see the Sunlance in front of him in all his glory. Dong Hun wonders if this really is

just a B- rank dungeon because it definitely feels like that old man dungeons retake. The Sunlance insults Dong Hun for being a human and launches at him. Dong Hun closes his eyes at the attack, but fortunately, the old man moves him out Of the place. The old man scolds him, but Dong Hun's more surprised to find him here because he is at zero energy right now, so he does not have the strength to summon a skeleton or the elder. Before his questions can be answered, the Sunlance starts talking, furious that a mere human can dodge

his attack. The Sunlance launches to attack again, but the old man uses his absolute shield to block it. Dong Hune still falls due to the impact, but the old man Asks if he can't even distinguish between illusion and reality. Dong Hune finally realizes that this place only exists in his mind. So the old man explains that while he is unconscious, the Sunlance guy has intruded into his mind. This guy is not someone Donghoon can face yet. So the old man tells him to step aside for now. The old man unusually seems fascinated by the monster

who riled the world and evaluates that his spear skills are Several times stronger than the old man's. Dong Hune gasps at that, but the old man clarifies that he is only talking about the spear skills. Overall, he is beneath the old man. Now the old man thinks taking Dong Hun as his disciple was not entirely vain since he is able to find entertainment even after death thanks to him. The old man faces the Sunlance who is furious that a human is once again daring to cross his path. He says that the humans gouged out his

Eyes for no reason and mercilessly took away his freedom. So he is bent on making them feel the same pain he endured. While both are fighting, Dong Hune feels that this is familiar somehow and remembers that when he first entered the pyramid, the system discovered some connection between this dungeon and Dong Huns profession. Dong Hune counts the similarities that include the dead, the spear, and the skeletons. But the thing that is most familiar is the movement. The sunlance's resentment towards humanity pierces the heaven. So, the difficulty becomes unmeasurable. Dong Hun starts moving forward, but the

old man tells him to stop because the guy is not his match. However, Dong Hune says he has to do it. The sunlance stares at Dong Hun who is slowly approaching, but the old man blocks his way as he asks if he has a plan. Dong Hune tells him that being is his summoned skeleton, his child, so he must be the one to overcome This. The old man is shocked to hear that, but Dong Hun knows that this stage was for him from the start. He needs to handle this until all this resentment is consumed

and exhausted. Donghun approaches the sun lance, but he gets furious at the fact that a mere human think he can understand him. He despises humans to his core, so he raises his spear and attacks Dong Hune, who tries to block, but fails as expected. The one-sided fight goes on like this until Dong Hun can't stand anymore. He is using pain resistance skill, but it's still painful. However, he still gets up as he summons the spear and faces the Sunlance once again, telling him to pour out his grudge. The Sunlance questions him because it is impossible

to do it even if he fully understands him. He attacks again, but this time Dong Hun manages to block it by a hair's width. The Sunlance says he never had anyone by his side because he was half human, half Beast. He knows a human could never like someone like him. The Sunlance again attacks with the rage of resentment as he recounts all the things the humans did to him. By the end of the attack, Dong Hun soaked in his own blood. But he sympathizes with the Sunlance. The Sunlance also remembers people pitying him, but in

the end, they were no different. To him, the humans were nothing but lies and betrayal. They treated him like a monster, so becoming One was the only option left for him. Dong Hun receives all the blows, but he realizes that the resentment is weakening little by little. Dong Hune asks how long he plans to stay stuck in sorrow like this because if he keeps it up, he will be the one to lose in the end. Dong Hun stands once again as he tells Slance him to think about the reason for his pain. Sunlance does not

believe anyone can know the reason of his suffering. He was abandoned and his Emotions withered away. They have festered for hundreds of years, leaving scars that will never heal so nothing can be restored. Now, Dong Hune admits that the past can't be undone, so he asks him to be reborn for himself alone. Sunlands can't comprehend it, so Dong Hune explains that he has continued to suffer as a tormented soul even after death while the ones who tormented him are all dead. The sunlance starts recollecting that this place is the tomb Where he buried himself after

slaughtering all humans. And yet, Dong Hun is telling him to live a new life. The Sunlance asks if he is really telling him to live a new life. Dong Hun confirms as he says that he is not here to argue about right and wrong. He can't say the humans who oppressed him were right, nor that he was right to massacre countless humans. It's just about what he could not do and what he wants to do. He is telling him to enjoy his life. The Sunlance does not know what he wanted to do. So, Dong Hune

tells him he could clearly see his past and emotions. He undoubtedly wanted to see the world. He was curious about the soft sand beneath his feet and the camels roaming the desert intrigued him. The Sunlance finally remembers that he was curious about the world. Dong Hune says it is enough. Dong Hune admits he can't fully empathize with his pain. But even if he felt it for a moment, that's all it was. That is why Dong Hune does not want to comfort his emotion recklessly and he should not. He is only telling him that it is

okay to stay true to his desires and set aside the hatred for the sake of seeing the world. The Sunlance asks if he will show him the world. So, Dong Hun confirms. He tells him he is a cursed necromancer, a sorcerer who deals with death. The world he lives in is completely different from the one the Sunlance lived in. But if he still wants To see such a world, all he needs to do is take Dong Hun's hand and come under him. The system provides that the Sunlance feels conflicted. While he asks if Dong Hun

is different from other humans, he tells him that he is the absolute ruler of the ancient desert empire, a halfh human half best, so he does not just serve anyone, especially if that someone is human. The sun lance asks if he truly is worthy of being his master. This question activates a hidden Quest to prove that he is the true master. Dong Hun has no other choice at this point, so he directly asks how he is supposed to prove that. The sunlance demands to take his spear and endure the true power of the sun. Dong

Hune agrees to do that. So, the sunlance launches at him. Just as the spear is about to reach Dong Hune, a bright light flashes and Dong Hune finds himself outside the dungeon. The old man praises him for properly embracing the child's Resentment. The system notifies that the pain endurance skill has upgraded to grade A. Dong Hun says that his abilities did not matter to the child, so he will accept the resentment as many times as needed. He recalls that the Sunland stops the attack as he says he is different. He wants to be born again,

so he accepts Dong Hun as his lord. This fulfills the hidden condition, so the stage clears. At a fancy party, Ji Soy is bored to death. She only came here Because her brother asked her to, but this is nothing but a waste of time. Before, she could tolerate it since it was a chance to talk to a ranker. However, compared to the old man, everyone here is just a newborn child. She just wants to leave quickly, but is interrupted by some guy who's acting overly friendly. The guy keeps blabbering nonsense, but Soul does not answer.

Instead, she looks at the clock to say she has a prior appointment, so She can't stay longer. The guy tries to make her stop, but she ignores him and takes her leave. The man grits his teeth at her, retreating back, thinking that being a ranker does not make her special. He assumes that the rumors of her having a boyfriend are true and decides to look into it. Dong Hune gets out to the dungeon and heavily flops on the ground, saying he was going to die for real. The sun has not set yet, and Soy said

she will be out for about 6 Hours. The system notifies him about the skeletons being adjusted so that the stats have all balanced out. All have been upgraded, including the spear skeleton that has become something special. He now inherits the memories and will of the sunlance. So, his name has been changed as well. The skill set also includes the dazzling radiant solar combo, raging desert, and soul flame. These are all incredible, but Dong Hune has issue with the name Solar Lance Since it sounds too cold, so he decides to just call his solar. Moving forward,

he checks the clear reward to find that he has obtained an S-rank item called Golden Random Box. As an E-rank hunter, Dong Hune has never gotten a decent item before, but now he has an S-rank item in his hands. He opens the golden box to get S-rank spear called flame dragon staff. Dong Hun is happy with the item and checks its market worth. After opening the application, he types in the Specs, but no one believes him, making him wonder if he has to shove the truth in their faces. He uploads the video along with the

question and gets insane attention that gets him on the best board and even on the news. He feels shocked at the attention, but is glad that the Hunter board has good security so his personal info would not leak. Dong Hune receives tons of messages, so he deletes the post instantly, not wanting to attract any more attention Yet. He realizes that there is no rule stating he has to use it, so he decides to check it right away. Dong Hune summons the mage skeleton and hands over the staff as a present. This makes the skeleton so

shocked that his jaw drops quite literally. Dong Hun gifts the S tier staff to the mage skeleton, who snatches it immediately and starts testing it out like a kid who just got his favorite toy. Dong Hun is left surprised to see that the bone guy can Actually equip the staff of the fire dragon since normally a necromancer's undead can't even use items. It unexpectedly works, but Dong Hune is troubled. This is his very first S-rank item after all. He finds himself torn between giving it to the mage skeleton or selling it for a hefty price.

The mage skeleton seems to notice his hesitation and suddenly takes a headstrong stance like it's daring him to take it back. Dong Hun tries to tell It to hand over the expensive item, but the stubborn undead refuses outright. With a loud sigh, Dong Hune gives in and his summon starts celebrating like it just won a boss battle. Deep down, Dong Hune thinks it's the right call to let him have the staff. After all, this skeleton might also achieve a true awakening someday. Just like Sunyang, once he checks the achievement rewards, Dong Hune proceeds to the

dungeon clear rewards. He receives an A- rank item Called Route of Racial Conflict, an item tied to a specific profession. This route holds the power to uncover the secrets of hidden ruins and can even unlock a dungeon, but it can only be activated by hunters ranked C or above. The item is a catalyst, and that instantly reminds Dong Hune of what Soy told him once. Catalysts are like fateful opportunities that trigger chain quests. These chain quests level up over time and can even reach Srank or higher. There's weight in her words, too, since every catalyst

she's ever encountered has been like that. Dong Hune wonders if the route also unlocks a dungeon related to other skeletons like Sunyang. Could it be that all 10 skeletons he summoned are absolute beings from their respective worlds? That would make his profession absurdly overpowered. He also can't help but feel like this mysterious system is favoring him a bit too much. Still, he decides not to overthink it. His main goal is to become a ranker. And if the system wants to bless him, he's definitely going to milk that luck for all it's worth. Skeletons, also known

as skull heads, are undead beings that have nothing left but bones in their entire body. The same kind of undead is speaking to Dong Hune right now. On top of that, it even claims to see the future. As bizarre as it sounds, Dong Hune convinces himself that it's not that strange because honestly, it Already makes zero sense that a pile of bones without nerves or muscles is walking around and fighting like a pro. Just then, soil makes her entrance. She seems absolutely fascinated by the talking skeleton, saying it's such a rare sight that even seasoned

necromancers would be left speechless. Dong Hune gets a little defensive, feeling slightly offended that she's calling his one and only precious Sunyang a mere skeleton. He also Questions whether it's fine for her to be hanging around here like this given that she's the dark lord of rankers herself. Soil brushes off his concern and assures him not to worry, promising to protect him until he becomes stronger. However, that promise only extends up to a rank. Once he reaches that level, he should be able to handle himself and joining one of the major guilds will be no

problem at all. She even points out that with his current Growth rate, it won't take long. Dong Hun feels a bit awkward hearing that since he's still technically a D-rank cursed necromancer, but Soil isn't buying it. She says she can't believe that rank because he's been stuck at the same level ever since she's known him. She can tell just by looking at Sunyong that it's already close to B rank level and Dong Hun himself seems to be improving every single day. Dong Hun silently agrees that it's a pretty Insane growth rate. If this absolute being

who once ruled over an entire world regains its original strength, it could become something even greater than before. Dong Hune checks with Seunyang to confirm if he needs guidance in his training. Sunyang assures him that although this frail body still feels unfamiliar and weak, he'll work hard to quickly regain his original power to assist him. Dong Hun nods and tells him to go train on his own, and the obedient Skeleton heads off to do just that. Watching the training, Dong Hune starts wondering about his own rank. Since he's obtained an item that only unlocks at

C rank, there must be a way for him to reach it, too. With that thought in mind, he sets his next goal to hit C rank no matter what. Back at his apartment, Dong Hune has set up a cardboard divider in the room. Soil says he doesn't need to go that far, but Dong Hune explains that it just feels wrong To have her sleep on the rooftop every night, especially since she's helping him. He even clarifies rather awkwardly that he'd never cross any lines. Soil tells him he can just roll out his sleeping bag and

crash like he did yesterday. No big deal. Dong Hune feels a twinge of guilt at the mention of the sleeping bag. He's just the kind of guy who can't give up his bed no matter who the guest is. Soil insists that he doesn't need to trouble himself, but Dong Hune stubbornly refuses, saying that boundaries need to be clear. He knows he's still considered weak in the hunter society. And if word got out that he made Soil, the dark lord herself, sleep outside and her brother found out, well, that would be game over for his peaceful

life. However, Soil corrects him, clarifying that she wasn't talking about sleeping arrangements at all. She meant he doesn't need to bother with the cardboard partition in the first place. His mind short circuits for a second, but Soil calmly explains that if a high ranker like her really wanted to, the partition wouldn't make a difference. His head would be rolling on the floor in an instant. A cold chill runs down Dong Hoons spine at her words while Soil continues nonchalantly saying the cardboard separation is completely meaningless anyway. Dong Hun can't believe that this woman spends so

much of her time thinking about slaying People. It's both terrifying and oddly on brand for her. Suddenly, a loud banging on the door cuts through the awkward atmosphere, making both of them freeze in surprise. A voice calls out from outside, but Dong Hune can't remember inviting anyone over at this hour. He steps toward the door, figuring that if it were someone dangerous, Soy would have already noticed. When he opens it, he's greeted by the sight of a crying girl standing in the hallway. He Doesn't recognize her, nor does he recall her being a resident of

this building. Between sobs, the girl asks if he's Dong Hune and desperately pleads for him to save her brother. Dong Hune, shocked and confused, listens as she pulls out a threat letter that was apparently left at their house. Taking the letter in his hands, Dong Hune scans it and discovers that the leader of his guild has been abducted. The kidnappers demand that Dong Hune come to a specific Location alone if he wants to retrieve him. Dong Huns mind races and he quickly connects the dots. It has to be the work of the dark shadow group.

They're the only ones bold enough to pull off something like this. So leans over his shoulder for a peek at the letter and scoffs, saying she didn't expect the group to move this blatantly. The girl, wideeyed, is stunned to see Sole in person, but the sleigh queen herself pays her no mind. She cooly explains That since she's been staying close to Dong Hun, the dark shadow group must have resorted to low-level tactics like kidnapping. Then her expression hardens as she mentions a message from her brother, Perang. His squad was ambushed inside a dungeon by Hellhound

himself, and he's asking for her help if she's available. Dong Hune tenses up immediately. Hellhound is the master of the dark shadow group, which means this entire setup was a coordinated Distraction to divide their forces. Seeing soil gritting her teeth, Dong Hune can tell she's torn. She's clearly worried about the attack on the pairing guild, but she's still staying by his side because of her promise to protect him. Dong Hune tells her to go help her brother first, but Soil refuses. She insists that Perang is the 58th ranked hunter strong enough to survive without her.

And besides, Dong Hun is alone. Who knows what might happen the moment she Leaves his side. Dong Hun admits she's got a point, but he insists that they should prioritize saving the kidnapped person first. The letter demanded he come alone after all. Soil warns him it's obviously a trap, but Dong Hun argues that Hellhound's already occupied with Perang's squad, and besides, he's got old man Mansel and Sunyang to back him up. He even reminds her of her own words that life is a journey that begins with connections and ends with Connections. Someone connected to him

is suffering because of him and he can't just sit around doing nothing. He doesn't want to be a cowardly hunter anymore. He wants to give back what he's received. So Yul size at his determined speech, then gives in. She agrees to head to Parang first, sort things out quickly, and then join him afterward. Before leaving, she reminds him that she once promised to introduce him to many powerful connections, and it seems that Might be happening sooner than expected. With that cryptic remark, she disappears without another word, leaving Dong Hun more confused than ever. Later that

night, under an eerie moon by the riverbank, a group of men throw the kidnapped guild leader onto the ground. One of them checks the time and grins, saying, "Dong Hoon should be showing up any moment now, and right on Q, Dong Hune appears alongside his skeleton companion, materializing like ghosts in The dark." The dark shadow goons throw the beaten leader down again, just for fun, making him groan in pain. Their apparent leader smirks, commenting that Dong Hun's got guts to show up alone as instructed. He lets out a mocking laugh, saying that by the looks

of his skeleton, Dong Hune must be some lowranking necromancer trying to act brave. On the other hand, Dong Hune quietly sizes up his enemies, realizing they're all A-rank hunters, and he's Certain there are even B-rank fighters hiding around the perimeter. The Dark Shadow leader finally pulls out a dagger, his grin widening as he says that Dong Hune should already know exactly why he's been summoned here. Here's a tense standoff between our protagonist and the dark shadow group with the poor abducted person lying helplessly in the middle. The dark shadow man assumes Dong Hune already knows

why he's been called here, but Dong Hune calmly claims that he's only come because the note told him to if he wants to save the captive. The bad guy, convinced that Dong Hun is just playing dumb, decides to do what villains do best, start threatening the hostage to force the truth out of him about the so-called opportunity Dong Hune has stumbled upon. He warns that if Dong Hune doesn't spill the details, the hostage is done for. Dong Huns hands tremble slightly. After all, he only has Five D-rank bones to rely on. But even then, he

braces himself, unwilling to give away what he considers his one true shot at something big. At last, he decides to reveal just enough to survive. The bad guys release the guild leader, and the dark shadow man smirks, saying that's exactly how Dong Hun should behave if he wants to keep breathing. Dong Hun playing along expresses his gratitude for being allowed to live. He then reveals that His opportunity is actually his master, someone who trains him. That makes the dark shadow leader pause. He remembers hearing about an old man, one even Soil had trouble facing. Dong

Hune explains that his master is a powerhouse so terrifying that even the dark emperor Soyal challenged him dozens of times only to get wrecked every single time. The villains buy it barely, but the disbelief is written all over their faces. Then one of them asks whether This master is visible only to Dong Hune because if that's the case, it's totally useless to them. Dong Hune cooly explains that there's a special method to make his master visible and that he can even share him with all of them. The Dark Shadow members light up at the idea

of being trained by such a being, and Dong Hune hypes them up even more by claiming that Soy herself stays by his side for this very reason. They ask how the transfer works, and Dong Hune Replies that he can start immediately, though it'll take around 30 minutes to chant the spell and set everything up. The truth is, while he was heading here, Dong Hun got a message from Soil. She warned him not to act recklessly and promised that her connections would come if she called for them. All he had to do was stall for 30

minutes. Now with a calm expression, Dong Hune asks which assassin would like to receive the transmission first. The dark shadow Members hesitate, unsure whether this is real or a trap. Dong Hun on the other hand looks fired up. The die has been cast. A ball of greed now hangs in the air, impossible to tell if it holds truth or lies. Whether they'll catch it or not, that's their call. Minutes drag by and the dark shadow men grow impatient. The so-called opportunity guy has been chanting for over 30 minutes now, and the leader suspicion keeps growing.

It feels just like last time. Different situation, same delay tactic. He demands to know when the spell will end, but Dong Hune just tells him to chill out, warning that if they keep interrupting, he might lose focus and have to start over. With a sly grin, he teases them, asking if they're getting nervous and even suggesting they can back out if they're too scared. That does it. The dark shadow leader snaps and vents his anger on the poor abducted man. Dong Hun shoots up, demanding to Know what they're doing, but the leader scoffs, claiming that

since 30 minutes have passed and Dong Hun broke his promise first, he's free to slay the hostage. Dong Hune's worry spikes as the blade inches closer to the guild leader's neck until out of nowhere, a spear slams into the ground near the dark shadow group, making them scatter in shock. They whip their heads around to see who attacked, and it's Sunyong. They can't believe that a mere skeleton Pulled off something like that. But Dong Hune, unfazed, mocks them for their impressive dodging skills and laughs at how they wasted 30 minutes for nothing. Furious, the leader

unleashes his power, roaring that a single skeleton with a few tricks won't turn the tide. He orders his assassins to eliminate the hostage and capture Dong Hun for daring to deceive them. As the assassins close in, Sunyang steps forward with calm confidence and grace. Ready to protect His master, Dong Hun summons the rest of his undead squad and commands them to wipe out every last one of the enemies before
