-Pasasasasasasak.
Cold air spreaded from the center of the crimson fireball.
“…….uh?”
“Huh? uh?!”
The same exclamation came out from the mouths of Jang Kanghun and the three gatekeepers, as I had already guessed.
In my opinion, looking at the ice spreading coolly reminded me of Pyongyang cold noodle broth and it made my waist throb with the cools as well.
Yes. I chose it right.
On the 50th floor, the skill-ban area was about 100 meters in diameter. And of course, it did not include the area where Sehwa was playing.
The area where Jang Kanghun spreaded his Crimson Sky was around 5 meters. And I just hit it generously. If it was other people, it would become smaller!
It was a very miserable area for a spell to be called Crimson Sky, moreover from a higher-up of The Realm Guild. His subordinates were also watching. This would become a more serious dark history than his Scarlet Crimson.
-Pasak.
That’s how the Crimson Sky cleared.
-Kkakkagagagagak
Instead, the freezing sky filled the area of 100 meters. I took a bit of care so that it wouldn’t leak out.
“Wha, what the hell is this….. no, no way……..My Crimson Sky………?”
Jang Kanghun’s voice shook. Was he feeling cold?
Well, as a drinker I could handle the cold, but Jang Kanghun may feel a little cold.
On the other hand, the three gatekeepers outside the range sat comfortably on the floor and enjoyed the freezing sky.
“Arcane One!”
Jang Kanghun called out for Arcane One with a desperate voice.
[<Arcane One> watches this situation with a curious gaze.]
Arcane One, with a good personality, responded to the call of the contractor whose reason was unknown.
“Help! Please give me support!”
[<Arcane One> watches this situation with a curious gaze.]
He didn’t really respond. It seemed like he was so excited to watch the situation that a reaction like that came out without him even knowing it.
“To solve the quest you gave me, I need support first to take down that child! Arcane One…..!”
Oops! I almost wondered what kind of quest he was given, but he kindly had recited it. So he was asked to take me down, right? According to my prediction, Arcane One didn’t tell Jang Kanghun to keep it a secret.
Have you ever been to a stalactite cave? If you look there, the rocks at the ceiling of the cave were formed like icicles. Whenever I saw it, I couldn’t help but think of this. Wouldn’t it hurt a lot if the icicles fell? I don’t think so. I think it won’t end with being just hurt, right?
‘The Falling Flowers’
Parts of the freezing sky fell down like they were melting, turning into dozens of icicles. Some changed very quickly, some changed very slowly. The icicles became the Falling Flowers, erasing the gap between time and space.
-Pak.
When the Falling Flowers is over, I’ll be the only one standing in the area.
[This is the result of the presence of <Arcane One>.]
[The chaos level does not increase.]
Excellent! I didn’t fight again this time, huh! What I just did with Jang Kanghun was called crushing. In more elegant terms…. Hmm, true education?
[<Arcane One> is very happy to watch this situation.]
[<Arcane One> wants to build a more friendly relationship with you.]
[<Arcane One> offers the following compensation in return.]
1. 1,000 crystals
In addition, I also got to do some business with the tenant.
Perhaps because of my choice in previous gifts, he made a clean decision without any other options.
He was such a good guy to give 10 billion won for killing his contractor.
If it were me before I rolled in the Initial Dungeon, I might have rejected such a gift because it felt burdensome and I felt too indebted.
“Thank you. I’ll take it well.”
It was different now. There was no reason to refuse a gift.
Mr. Life’s Predator, did you feel anything?
……..
It seems he’s not here. The eyes of the watcher who has been watching has diminished.
“Now, now, Senior Jang”
“Headquarters! Let’s contact headquarters!”
“What is it? The exit doesn’t respond!”
Hey you gatekeepers. Even if you didn’t shout that loud, I wouldn’t have forgotten your presence.
After wearing down the Falling Flower, I took off the remaining ice.
“Arrow.”
“Uagh.”
“Ough.”
“Argh.”
It was a scream without individuality.
Here we go!
Based on the Mirage, I must have done a series of murders again, right? But I learned a good way from the tenant, Arcane One.
[This is the result of what happened in the presence of the <The Initial Wizard>.]
[The chaos level does not increase.]
[Arcane One admires your actions.]
Come on, let’s take care of ourselves!
Sweet, it’s sweet.
By the way… What’s wrong with a high chaos level?
I’ve never really cared about it.
Chaos levels are detected by management staff on equipment used by hunters of level 50 or higher.
Is there any legal tax penalty?
Those with high levels of chaos would have built a black market between themselves, but if they had poor numbers, they wouldn’t be able to get in.
……Well.
I distributed the chaos level to the triplets finely enough but I felt a little sorry for Sapal. I thought it might be possible to erase the Chaos level, so I tried it.
[Kim Joohan! You little rat, won’t you stop there?!]
[I’m not your thing who will stand because you asked me to stand! Oh, sorry! Your thing isn’t even standing, is it?]
[You son of bitch-!]
The quick-tempered Sapal had already been revived, enjoying a pleasant time with the triplets, and then bounced from the Mirage.
……well, that’s enough.
Anyway, for Sapal, rather than the Chaos Level, the triplets was his bigger problem, so it was okay.
[God damn it…… it seems I don’t have honor here.]
[That’s not true hyung-nim. That bastard wouldn’t know how to use such a dazzling item like that.]
[It’s definitely The Mud Guild! Otherwise, it’s impossible for Kim Joohan to get such an item.]
It’s a shocking truth that Sapal didn’t know that he used a dazzle item that he got from The Mud Guild.
-Peek.
I turned off the CCTV screen exclusively for the Mirage administrator that was illuminating the 11th floor. The memory manipulation of Jang Kanghun and the three gatekeepers was also finished.
[Three gatekeepers, playing a role without any obstacle.]
[The resurrection time of the three gatekeepers has shortened.]
First of all, nothing happened to the three gatekeepers.
When I leave the Mirage, they will be resurrected and would still be there as the gatekeepers.
And Jang Kanghun.
[Jang Kanghun died while carrying the quest of Arcane One.]
It looks sloppy, right? It doesn’t look like anything’s changed, does it?
[Arcane One accepts your offer.]
However, the story was different if the tenant accepted the condition for a monthly rent reduction.
I didn’t know how Arcane One would convince Jang Kanghun. He could soothe him like a kid, or just tell him to shut up. But from what he did earlier, wouldn’t it be the same?
As a result, Jang Kanghun would remember the fact that he literally died while carrying the quest.
But, about which floor did he go to? Who was his opponent? How he died. Even what was the content of the quest he was doing. He wouldn’t know it.
Although I had intervened with the memories too, if you were a tenant, you could always do it to your contractor everytime you wanted. For someone that they believed, to touch their memories, it was creepy. But they wouldn’t do that to their contractor who they care a lot about, right? Well, their contract itself would be different from each contractor.
But Jang Kanghun was not that bad. He was one of the best contractors in the world at level 83.
[Use of skills that were unlocked in some areas on the 50th floor of the Mirage is banned again.]
All right, then. Although miscellaneous things were involved, I saw all the things in the Mirage.
“Daughter, have you been playing well?”
I crept up and hugged Sehwa.
“Ppa?!!”
Sehwa was surprised while she was playing with flowers.
“Ppaaaaaaaaa!”
She complained at me with a cheeky expression and dissatisfied voice. Cute as expected. It made it difficult to calm my heart. Seems like there was a problem with Sehwa’s trust in me, so I would not do it in the future.
“Ppa?”
Then she saw the remaining ice beyond me then her eyes sparkled .
“Pa~ Pa~ Pa~”
She fell in love with it very much. Was it that amazing? Or because of the familiar feeling with the initial mana? Anyway, after taking some of the ice off, I went through it like a dandelion and presented it to Sehwa.
“Uh? ..kyahahahaha! Oh….? Kkya, kyahaha!”
She reached out her index finger then touched it very carefully and bursted into laughter, touched and then laughed again.
For me, if Sehwa was happy with it, then everything was good.

After playing with Sehwa for a long time with ice, I came out of the Mirage.
“Hunter Hyun Minjun, level 20 identified.”
The Mirage information of the certificate has been properly corrected.
Although I ignored guidelines, the number on the 20th floor was like evidence that I took a bus. Thanks to this, the administration staff passed me without any doubt.
Sehwa?
[<Daughter who loves dad❤> likes smartphones.]
She forgot about the ice and was having a good time with the smartphone in the inventory.
There were studies showing that TV and smartphones were harmful to a child’s brain development…. But it was not to the extent that it could harm the dragon brain, and I couldn’t help it since I raise my daughter on my own.
By the way.
“Uh.”
My back felt stiff again after I came out of the Mirage.
There were some ways to strengthen my muscles with the initial mana, but I couldn’t use them yet. Because the mana of the mirage is missing.
Well….
I shouldn’t have used the mana to create the Freezing Sky. I should have used the mana for some skill that could restore my body.
Anyway, I need to hurry up and go back so I can get some rest and take out Sehwa from the inventory.
I rushed into an alley.
“Hyun Minjun.”
Right at this moment, someone appeared.
“Huh? It’s Kisoo.”
My face, which doned ‘caution!’ returned to normal, as soon as I checked who the person is.
“How long has it been?”
You don’t even have to say that miracle word, my classmate.
Yoon Kisoo, a man who occupied a fairly large portion of my 24 years of memory, which even the 1587 years of memories could not push back.
……Huh?
He had a weird expression. I mean, he was not only my friend but my best closest friend.
“It’s only been a day for me. I’ve been awakened, I mean. You’ve been to the tutorial too, right?”
Look at his eyes. It was very cold that will put a dagger in my heart.
“Hey, you’ve awakened but you don’t call me? I’m getting hurt.”
Kisoo frowned to the full.
“How did you know I was awakened? I don’t think the news will circulate around as a small report like a C-Rank awakening.”
“I went to the convenience store and listened to it. I also quit my part-time job. By the way, you’re a C-Rank Wizard?”
“Of course.”
I proudly showed off my certification.
“Get rid of it.”
Kisoo had the impudence to push aside without even reading the certificate.
“You have…but I can’t feel your magic. What? C-Rank? Even if you have a mana hiding as a passive skill, I should have felt it, even a little bit.”
“The administration said it’s the C-Rank, but why are you making a fuss?”
“That’s enough with what the administration said, but what’s the tutorial rank you went into?”
“Why are you so sharp?”
Even if it wasn’t for me, there were few cases where the time and the ranking of the tutorial were actually different.
And in some cases, people were shocked by how fast and sharp someone could grasp the situation, and other people were disappointed because someone was just too slow for it.
“You can be a little sharp in this field.”
Kisoo grinned and tapped his chest with his fist. Then all of a sudden, he flipped his fingers and held out his hand.
“What. Why? You paid off all the money you borrowed.”
No matter how long the tutorial took, I remember it for sure.
“Not that, huh? You know.”
“….Hey”
I remembered.
Come to think of it, when this child clearly awakened….
“When Melona came.”
I want to buy Melona.
