Chapter 13: Dungeon Attack Record

Chapter 13) Dungeon Attack Record

[TL Note]: Hey guys, I just noticed something while copying the stats table and realized a mistake I made . Chrisley actually doesn’t have Electric Power in her status window . It was just something carried over from Randalph’s status window that I forgot to delete . That has now been fixed .

* * *

The dungeon’s 6th floor .

I changed the terrain using Domestic Mode . I’ve completed the ecology up to the 5th floor but the 6th floor was still empty .

I was hoping to raise some special creatures there .

But changing the terrain itself required points . I used roughly 100,000 points and changed a large chunk of the 6th floor to lava .

Kururung!

The transformation of the dungeon’s 6th floor started .

First, the ground split apart . A volcano would intermittently pop up every 30 metres . 5 volcanoes were created in this manner and they started spewing out lava .

The specified lava zone was completed .

Of course, it couldn’t end here .

I placed the 3Lv creature ‘Pyrock Larva’ on the lava field .

The pyrock larva was a creature that cost 1,200 pt . It was expensive for a palm sized larva but I bought 40 of them . There was no hesitation as I purchased it .

‘They will duplicate once they become adults . ’

Once the pyrock larvae grew into an adult, it could live outside .

The red larva would grow to 3 times its size before unravelling and forming an intermediate creature approximately 1 metre in size with the tail of a dragon and the wings of a bat .

But the pyrock weren’t often sold as adults . It was because 99% of the larvae died before becoming adults .

There was a need for very strict management so the dark elves and dwarves were called .

‘I need to find the source of magic power associated with the creature . ’

The pyrock was a creature that lived on stones containing fire magic power . The volcano and lava meant the fire magic could be instinctively felt .

I bought the pyrock larvae due to the above reasons .

Yihi looked at me with confusion .

“Master . It is very hard to raise the pyrock larvae . The adults are very strong but Yihi knows that they aren’t easy to raise . Although they are already purchased . ”

“I know . ”

“Doesn’t the store sell adults? Yihi thinks you should just get an adult pyrock . I saw a very cute one . ”

Yihi didn’t believe in my skills . In addition, Yihi was curious about why I was raising them .

I wanted the pyrocks for one specific reason .

‘The dungeon contains 4 altars of different magic properties . I need to find the fire altar . ’

This was also information he obtained from his previous life .

If the 4 altars with different properties were found then it was possible to raise more powerful advanced creatures .

I would use the pyrocks to find the altar . It would be good if they found the altar .

I confirmed in my previous life that it gave achievements . And releasing the more advanced creatures would kill more humans and wouldn’t bring me benefits .

But things were different now .

I stood at the peak of the Awakened in South Korea . A monster wave would stir up the Awakened and would shake the country . I stood at the peak but it currently lacked impact . I was free to do a monster wave if I wanted .

There was one obvious effect .

Standing at the peak position…a monster wave was a golden opportunity to become recognized by other Awakened and civilians .

More than anything else .

‘The leaders of this country aren’t taking the situation seriously enough . After identifying the movements of the creatures in the dungeon, there has only been a lukewarm response . I need to break that perception . ’

South Korea .

The vast majority of people were hanging on to the security measures . There was the issue of North Korea but they were slow to cope with the dungeon .

There had to be a real threat to make the country move .

It was inevitable that the country’s leaders would use the dungeon as a propaganda tool . It was something I saw in my previous life .

‘The Awakened need to be more desperate in order to grow . A competitive environment . And…if I become a symbol then it will be a big boost when hitting other dungeons . ’

It was a choice I would make for the future .

In addition, the Awakened would raise awareness by protecting the civilians and they would desperately fight to become stronger for their survival .

Those with a sense of entitlement would use it as a driving force behind their corruption . I would be able to cut off the rotten ones .

There was another reason .

This was an opportunity to debut Chrisley . I intended to make her appear as the Dungeon Master .

The conclusion of my plan!

It would be a while before the creatures could find the altar .

My points were scarce so I couldn’t use it at the moment .

“Master?”

Yihi spoke in a puzzled tone .

I began to talk with a relaxed expression .

“Yihi . Are the dark elves and dwarves gathered together?”

“They were gathered a while ago . Do you want Yihi to call them?”

“Yes . ”

I nodded and Yihi flapped her wings quickly .

* * *

“It is great to see Dungeon Master!”

“It is great to see Dungeon Master!”

The dark elves and dwarves .

They kneeled down before me .

Chrisley was included among the dark elves . Moreover, she seemed even more beautiful . She was at a level of the goddess of beauty and even I was forced to admire her .

I didn’t easily go crazy with desire over a women but this……

I opened up Mind’s Eye .

I wanted to see the results after one month .

Name: ChrisleyOccupationNoneTitle* Person with the Blood of a True Demonic Dragon (Epic, Intelligence +6, Magic Power +6)

* Blessed by the Moon (Ex U, Magic Power +8)

StatsStrength26Intelligence94 (+6)Agility28Stamina32Magic Power 55 (+18) Potential: (235+24/478)

Uniqueness: A person with the true demonic dragon Aojin and the dark elf Shilla’s blood, the end of her growth can’t be seen .

Skill: Body Control (R), Undead Manufacturing (U)

 [Before and After Comparison]

Strength 23 Intelligence 100 Agility 21 Stamina 27 Magic 60 Potential (211+20/478)

Strength 26 Intelligence 100 Agility 28 Stamina 32 Magic 73 Potential (235+24/478)

The Death Wand gave an addition 4 magic power .

After her health was restored, her stats rose up rapidly .

But I was surprised to see that Body Control had transformed into a rare skill .

It had only been one month .

Body Control had risen from the normal rating to rare .

‘Ha . ’

Is this the power of 100 intelligence?

The growth rate of the skill was unbelievable .

After a few months, it didn’t seem impossible for Body Control to reach the unique rating . The same was true for Undead Manufacturing .

Anyway, it was good that someone under my command had grown .

I shook my head and opened my mouth .

“Do any of you have experience leading an army?”

Two people raised their hands .

Dark elf Julliom and dwarf Stein .

Both of them were leaders of their village .

“Only two?”

“It will depend on your criteria of the army, Dungeon Master . ”

Julliom carefully expressed his opinion .

“Leading more than 500 would be good . ”

“Then there are two more people . ”

Three dark elves .

I moved my line of sight .

“Dwarves?”

“One more . ”

“A total of five . That should be okay . ”

I couldn’t randomly release the monster wave . A commanding presence was needed to lead them .

“The five of you step forward . Chrisley is permitted to take two steps . ”

Chrisley moved forward with the five people behind her .

The dark elves and dwarves gathered together . Chrisley was two steps away .

“A week later, the 1st monster wave will take place . It will be composed of 5,000 orcs, kobolds and gnolls and will create trouble for the humans . ”

“Dungeon Master . The 1st?”

Julliom asked an appropriate question .

“The 1st monster wave is just a device intended to awaken the human’s awareness . Except for Chrisley, you five will step out . It doesn’t matter if the creatures are lost but all leaders have to return safely . The next monster wave will occur after two months . At that time, Chrisley will be in charge of the mission . In addition, the quality of their creatures will change . ”

The 1st wave would just be a teaser .

I clenched my fists tightly and said .

“Time is running out . First, I will assign 1,000 creatures to each commander . You have a week to train them in the basics . Go forth from the dungeon and devastate the humans!”

“As you command!”

“As you command!”

The six commanders including Chrisley bowed their heads deeper .

“The remaining dark elves and dwarves will have a separate task . They were take care of the pyrock larvae that I’ve released on the 6th floor . After the pyrock larvae sticks out from the ground, letting them rest for 30 minutes is enough . There is a place with no lava so build houses to live in the area . ”

I quickly divided their roles .

The 1st wave that would take place after one week!

I was busy preparing for the move .

* * *

The 3rd and 4th floor were filled with 500 orcs .

4,500 kobolds and goblins .

There were an additional 20 harpies and goblin and kobold bosses that would be part of the 1st wave .

An army that humans could defeat .

There were no nuclear weapons . It was different with tanks and fighter jets but the regular infantry would find it difficult to deal with the creatures .

Even if they were armed with modern weapons, there were no humans that didn’t fear death .

Kung! Kung!

The footprints of the creatures rang through the dungeon .

The creatures were neatly lined up on the dungeon’s 1st floor .

I raised my right hand as I slowly moved forward .

“Let’s move out . ”

“Let’s move out!”

Kung! Kung!

The army of 5,000 creatures left the dungeon while being led by the 5 commanders .

* * *

The South Korean troops near Bukhan Mountain .

A number of soldiers were deployed in case the creatures emerged from the dungeon .

It wasn’t easy for civilians to reach here and they were positioned in a place where they could observe the entrance .

But it had been more than a year and the creatures hadn’t left the dungeon .

Discipline had been neglected and now it was just a routine patrol .

The troops stationed at the dungeon brought entertainment such as a pack of cards .

“5 matches . ”

“I’m sorry . I also have a match . ”

They were playing at the table originally used for operation planning . They squandered money and now there were only two people remaining .

But now it seemed to be ending .

The soldier who lost money had a long face .

“That is our Captain-nim . Just a little bit is acceptable . Ha! Today Captain-nim should buy chicken for the kids of our squadron .

The captain tsked at his men .

“You rascals, you think that I should buy chicken for the kids? I’m going to use the money to go and see Madam Jeong . ”

It was at that moment .

Just as all the money was being swept up! The door opened and someone came in .

The captain frowned .

“You should knock before you come in……”

“Captain-nim! I-it is serious! A monster wave!”

The captain laughed .

“Are you high?”

“You must be dreaming or something . ”

“That friend’s words are a little strange . ”

The other soldiers also laughed .

Teong!

But more patrolling soldiers kept entering through the door and the atmosphere changed .

“M-monster wave!”

“An estimated number of more than 4,000! The creatures are exiting the dungeon!”

* * *

Tang! Tatang!

Gun shots resounded from all over the mountain .

The smell of gunpowder and blood filled the air .

“Son of a bitch!”

Dududududu!

The armoured vehicles were blindly firing machine guns at the goblins .

A few distracted goblins were killed .

The creatures didn’t fear death .

The soldiers at the front all received the same fate .

The goblins attacked while neglecting their lives .

“Kkack!”

In a brief instant .

The soldier’s face was instantly torn in half by the sharp teeth of the goblins . The soldiers were instantly killed . It was a gory sight but at least they didn’t have to suffer from being eaten alive .

Kieeek!

Something penetrated through the forehead of the goblin that was eating the soldier’s neck .

The goblin was riddled with hundreds of holes from bullets .

The soldiers near the body opened fire .

“Die scum!”

The soldiers frowned at the sight .

There were the remains of vomit at the corners of their mouths . This scene was very common here .

The creatures didn’t fear death but the soldiers definitely did!

The permanent post at Bukhan Mountain had received a surprise ambush . There was no radio contact under conditions like these .

The soldiers used the bullets and grenades in their arsenal and barely survived .

There were already a shootout against the creatures inside the garrison . Out of 150 soldiers, only 10 barely survived .

Their faces had already darkened .

“Captain-nim, are you okay?”

“Shit! Do I look like I’m okay? All the wounded people, follow me! Move!”

They didn’t know .

There might be more creatures in the vicinity .

The troops would have no future if they met the orcs .

The wounded soldiers started moving .

But who knew?

That it would be like he said……

Chwiik . Chwiiik .

“Shit… . ”

The captain cursed as he heard the familiar rough breathing of an orc .

* * *

The 7-Eleven near Buksan Mountain .

Today a convenience store worker called Kim Gun-sam gulped as a scantily clad woman wearing a fine silver blouse and short hot pants entered .

“Welcome~”

The woman ignored him and went to the corner where the tampons were . Kim Gun-sam secretly admired her while drinking .

‘Hya! Look at that rear . ’

The curve of her butt was emphasized by the hot pants . It was natural for the eyes to be drawn there .

‘A person who works in the nightlife? I often see women like this in the red light district . Hehe……’

The value of the land around Bukhan Mountain had dropped due to the dungeon .

It was dangerous working near a dungeon but he had grudgingly accepted the job at the convenience store .

He had been working the part time job for a couple of days .

His mind had transformed into an oasis .

There were plenty of cheap entertainment places near the convenience store .

The woman placing items on the counter had that ‘good feel . ’

Kim Gun-sam looked at the cold wind blowing outside .

‘She must be freezing . ’

She was sexy but there were disadvantages to it .

Kim Gun-sam coughed and said .

“Hmm hmm! 8,800 won . Would you like an envelope?”

“That value should be covered by you . ”

“Huh?”

“My ass, didn’t you keep staring at it?”

“I don’t know what you are talking about Customer-nim . ”

Kim Gun-sam hastily said with embarrassment .

And how did this woman know when she didn’t even turn her head?

His conscience pricked but he had to deny it .

The woman stared at Kim Gun-sam .

“Should we check the CCTV? You were definitely looking at my ass!”

Why did this woman know that he was staring?

‘This day?’

Kim Gun-sam was about to protest when he saw something outside the glass windows .

“Look!”

“C-c……”

“What?

Eobobo . Kim Gun-sam’s finger trembled as he pointed outside .

The woman turned with a frown but she soon showed the exact same reaction as Kim Gun-sam .

“Ah… . . ”

“Creatures!”

Both of them were gazing towards the same place .

Hundreds of creatures were moving on foot .

* * *

Monster wave .

The phenomenon that involved creatures coming out of the dungeon .

It had already happened a few times in other countries but South Korea officially had the 5th monster wave .

The soldiers stationed near the dungeon sacrificed themselves but weren’t able to repel the advance of the creatures .

The creatures that came down from Bukhan Mountain immediately attacked Gangbuk-gu and Eunpyeong-gu (gu=district) .

The residents were evacuated after noticing the existence of the creatures but Ui-dong, Suyu-dong and Galhyeon-dong (dong= neighbourhoods in the districts . Ui-dong & Suyu-dong= Gangbuk-gu . Galhyeon-dong= Eunpyeong-gu) were destroyed .

In fact, many people were already concerned .

It was common sense that a monster wave would ravage cities near the area .

But the media and government talked about the soldiers stationed there so the people believed that creatures would be tied up in the dungeon .

However, the military’s response was dull .

Central Seoul’s economy, culture and transportation couldn’t cope with it .

As a result, the casualties reached 1,732 people .

When including the wounded, it reached over 2,000 people .

They succeeded in repelling the creatures that emerged from the dungeon but it caused them a massive headache .

* * *

‘So they are trying to hit the dungeon . ’

I was watching the scene while relaxing from the top floor of the dungeon .

The Dungeon Core was showing it through a hologram so I was entertained .

The pride of the army might have been crushed if the Awakened hadn’t joined them . It was the perfect response of an idiot .

There was an intense surge of magic power inside the tower .

What was magic power? Originally it was the fundamental power .

It was the source of modern civilization in human hands . They gnawed on the source instead of using it properly . Even if it worked, I didn’t get any bad feelings from it .

The Awakened could use the magic power to use modern weapons more efficiently .

But an army consisting of normal humans trying to invade an army?

I started laughing .

‘Killing ordinary people won’t give any points but……’

Only the existence of the Awakened gave points . Other dungeon creatures and demons also gave points but normal humans were worth nothing .

Of course, a public massacre would earn him some achievements .

Contributing to the destruction of the earth .

And if I killed 100 million people then a title and achievement could be obtained .

I would rather receive the contributions from killing the demons . Killing everyone in South Korea would be insufficient to reach 100 million . It was very tedious work .

It was better to use the demons .

‘I should give a gift to Chrisley . The volume produced with Undead Manufacturing will be fun . ’

I smiled as I determined the future of those entering the dungeon .

Anyway, using the Undead Manufacturing skill would raise the proficiency .

It was recycling .

‘But…it didn’t feel good to have my dungeon ignored . ’

Before the monster wave happened, the army had ignored me for North Korea . What did that mean?

They seemed to be looking down on me .

My army only consisted of 5,000 low level creatures but……

‘I will welcome them as the Dungeon Master . ’

Of course, I wouldn’t be greeting them directly .

I wasn’t going to show my official appearance .

An army of humans meeting the Dungeon Master?

It didn’t fit .

It was different from the Awakened entering in large numbers . Even then, only a few creatures handled them .

After summarizing my thoughts, I had Krasla gather the dark elves .

The dwarves were left alone . Right now they needed to take care of the pyrock .

And the propagating harpies were in charge of the 20 mud golems and 30 puppets on the 5th floor .

* * *

Kuong .

Kuong .

The 20 golems that were 4 metres high and weighing 2 tons were lined up in a row .

They were made of hardened mud refined through alchemy and magic .

Among the intermediate creatures, there were none that was inferior to them .

Next to them were the 30 puppets made out of metal in the form of human beings .

The dark elves had climbed up one by one on both shoulders of the mud golem . They are armed with a bow and short dagger .

The dark elves could shoot arrows in the dark and could swing their knife quickly like an assassin .

In addition, the synergy with the dungeon meant that the dark elves were invincible against the humans .

Their number reached 40 .

The combined total of 120 wasn’t a large amount .

“Stop!”

Hwaruruk!

The fire horse, Inferno!

Krasla was sitting on Inferno .

The magic earrings were removed and his original appearance was regained .

In addition, there was an extremely determined look in his eyes .

‘Inferno has been entrusted to me . In other words, I had to launch an overwhelming force that will devastate the enemy!’

Dungeon Master .

I directly lent him Inferno .

He was a general and his enemy was a country .

No matter how brief it was, Krasla had experience and knew how weak their army was . They couldn’t use their tools and would be easily beaten .

Tactics? Strategy?

There was no need .

A frontal attack!

So I would completely beak them .

Krasla and his troops were on the 1st floor . Scouts confirmed that the enemy was 500 metres in front of them .

Krasla raised his red spear .

“The enemies are in front . The dirty humans should withdraw their footsteps . Their numbers are plentiful but they are weak! We will trample on them for Master!”

Joy rose in the eyes of the dark elves .

They came from the Demon World . A world where the strong ruled . It was natural for the weak to be stepped on .

The dark elves might have weakened power but this was a chance to prove their worth .

They were pleased!

Krasla extended his spear and kicked Inferno to move forward .

Ihihing!

Inferno started to run .

Krasla shouted in a loud voice .

“Sweep through those guys without leaving one of them behind!”

* * *

The Philippines, China, India, France and South Korea .

It was the order that the monster waves occurred in .

With the exception of France that didn’t have the dungeon secured properly in the first place, the troops stationed nearby rapidly coped with it .

There were thousands of casualties and property damage due to the tanks so the people’s complaints were very high .

The current government tried to reduce the danger of the dungeons through propaganda but it only worked on certain groups .

The damage and danger of the dungeon was enough to shake public opinion .

In order to change the flow of this, a meeting was held in a secret bunker between the Defense Minister, President, head of the Security Council and the Lieutenant General .

Kwang!

“If this operation fails then we will all die . It should be fine . But didn’t we lose contact with the team not long after they entered the dungeon? Lieutenant General Choi Chun-ji . Did you install the wire connection directly?

The president slammed his fist down on the table while the sweating Choi Chun-ji licked his lips .

“President-nim . Don’t worry . The power of the Special Division is unbeatable . The creatures won’t be able to stop their firepower . ”

“Lieutenant General Choi Chun-ji! It is obvious that they will sweep through the dungeon . The problem is doing it with minimal damage! I can’t relax let alone breathe until I know what is going on!”

Lieutenant Choi Chun-ji had a frustrated heart Didn’t he know how great the power of one division was? A division specially organized to handle the dungeon .

The armed Special Forces contained k1a1 and k2 armoured tanks which were considered as the strongest .

It wasn’t a power that the creatures could face .

The soldiers also had the latest firearms .

“Don’t worry Sir . Even though communication was lost, we can still receive from the signaller . We just need to wait a few hours and we shall receive very good news . ”

Lieutenant Choi Chun-ji was confident .

He couldn’t be anything else .

There were a number of political relationships tangled up in the dungeon but it was just a matter of performance . It was easy to deal with the people’s complaints .

Thousands of creatures were wiped out so Choi Chun-ji couldn’t understand the president’s attitude .

The president’s fist trembled .

“It must be like that . If you don’t want your throat cut…by any means!”

* * *

Unlike Choi Chun-ji’s hopeful observation, the situation of the soldiers wasn’t very good .

8,000 people could easily move past the creatures but as they got deeper into the dungeon, more things started to malfunction .

Fire the wire communications and radio were jammed . The tanks started emitting smoke and firearms stopped working .

“Division Commander-nim . All communications are jammed . It will take 5 hours for the signaler to return to the dungeon entrance . What do you want to do?”

“Continue the operation . We can handle the creatures . ”

The Division Commander firmly gave an order to continue the operation .

The faces of the soldiers darkened as they heard those words .

They already knew that the products of modern science would become jammed in the dungeon . The United States had already made their information about the dungeon public . No, they knew there was a high chance the operation wouldn’t work .

But the soldiers had to follow the command . A few of them spoke words of complaint .

“Eh . I have no interest in going up……”

One of the soldiers muttered to himself . The surrounding soldiers nodded their heads in agreement .

Those with wealth and power only cared about the Cores but the soldiers felt frantic . They weren’t interested in the inside of the dungeon .

The Awakened were the ones meant to deal with the dungeon .

To capture the dungeon using only the strength of humans, it felt……

“What is that?”

“Why is the ground shaking?”

“Stop!”

Kuwuong!

Kuwuuong!

Suddenly a loud sound could be heard from a short distance away . The soldiers were puzzled and turned their flashlights and torches in the direction .

A horse was approaching at a very fast speed . It was ridiculous but the horse was on fire! Someone was riding on top of it .

It was first time in their lives that they saw something like that . The mouths of the soldiers dropped open . The unusual horse was a surprising sight .

But the soldiers lost their spirits the moment they saw something else .

Dozens of huge golems!

The sight was overwhelming .

Next to them were shining metal dolls that moved quickly .

“Prepare to fight! Prepare to fight!”

It became a full length battlefield .

* * *

What was the reason for dividing the creatures between floors?

This arrangement was solely conceived for the Awakened . It could be used to raise them, increasing the points .

But…humans couldn’t even step foot in the dungeon . There was no need to wait by dividing it among floors .

In addition, the humans weren’t Awakened and couldn’t resist the creatures inside the dungeon .

Modern weapons were certainly powerful but it was limited inside the dungeon .

Almost all firearms jammed or caused a fatal error .

Didn’t they know that? Or were they ignoring it?

“Master . The humans are really stupid . If Master allows it then Yihi will make them go and bow down like dogs! Of course, there would be a tribute in exchange . A kiss is probably sufficient ~ yihihi . ”

Yihi said while looking at the progress of the battle through the crystal ball .

I had to admit that Yihi was stupid so I didn’t have an answer for her .

Yihi quietly approached but I raised my hand .

I grabbed Yihi between the thumb and index finger of my right hand and stared at the crystal ball .

* * *

“Shit . Aim the muzzle correctly!”

“I-it isn’t firing properly! The focus of the scope is slightly changing!”

“Throw grenades!”

“The safety pin isn’t pulled properly? It isn’t popping out!”

“Aaaagh!”

Noisy!

8,000 soldiers were attacking .

The bullets fired from the gun would move slightly away from the aimed target . If they closed their eyes and fired then there would be friendly fire .

A thrown grenade wouldn’t explode or the extent of the explosion would be reduced . Any golems hit were quickly restored .

The dolls made of metal?

They were a similar size to humans and had sharp blades .

They were capable of stabbing and piercing .

The division commander told them .

“Are the tanks moving?”

“No! It will take time to repair the engine! None of the tanks are moving!”

“Damn!”

The division commander frowned as he heard those words .

The situation was rather disturbing . The grenades didn’t even work properly . It was the first time he had seen modern weapons disabled like this .

“Swords! Take out your swords!”

The division commander shouted .

The soldiers regained their spirits at the commander’s loud voice .

They immediately put away their guns and pointed their greatswords at the incoming puppets .

Chiing!

But the greatsword was only good for damaging biological existences . A common human that wasn’t Awakened couldn’t damage the metal puppet .

It was limited to just scratches .

But the puppets were moderately put in check . The golems were very big so their movements were slow .

The real problem was the dark elves with dark skin riding them while wielding long spears .

There was approximately 40 of them .

But they couldn’t be resisted .

They moved in the darkness like shadows .

The Special Forces struggled but they had limits .

They learned how to deal with humans but weren’t prepared to face such strong creatures .

The result was very bleak .

“After all…keok!”

The division commander about to order a retreat was beheaded .

Krasla!

He had narrowed the distance with Inferno and swung his spear .

The soldiers were helpless before his breakthrough power . The soldiers on the front lines started to die one by one .

The dark elves quickly understood and only aimed at them .

A chain of confusion!

A situation that had exploded out of control .

At this moment, they all sat down with ‘despair . ’

* * *

The security conference .

The president leaned back in his chair and stared up at the ceiling with a pale expression .

It had been two days since contact had been disconnected .

As more time passed with no contact, the mood of the conference room sunk like they were at a funeral .

“Still…no contact?”

The president spoke in a voice mixed with phlegm while Lieutenant Choi Chun-ji kept his mouth tightly closed . It had been a few days with no contact so the worst result must have happened .

After a long moment, Lieutenant General Choi Chun-ji spoke up .

“I’ve sent a search party . Just wait a little longer……”

“A little longer, a little longer! How long is a little bit? If this operation fails then take off your clothes . ”

Choi Chun-ji shut his mouth at the president’s words .

They all knew .

Previously there were only 1,700 casualties so it was difficult to imagine 8,000 people being wiped out .

The special troops of South Korea . It would be fortunate if Choi Chun-ji’s only consequence was taking off his clothes .

At this time, the defense minister carefully spoke .

“President-nim . Measures…we need to establish them . ”

The president tapped his finger on the desk as he sighed .

“Apologize to the country . Are there any other method besides resigning?”

“Sir, the results are still unknown . The soldiers might return after brilliantly performing the operation……”

“Don’t bother . I know a lot of people are dissatisfied with the current administration . The backlash will just get worse over time . ”

The president continued with a determined expression .

“Okay . Let’s cover it up as much as possible . ”

The next day, the news related to the dungeon and the soldiers were extremely limited . The information was deliberately concealed from all media, information agencies and organizations .

Quests were just answered mechanically with ambiguous words like ‘soon there will be news . ’

Even the portal sites weren’t safe . A large amount of data was censored or deleted on the forums .

But no matter how hard they tried to hide it, cracks started to form and they couldn’ stop the water from rising .

In the first place, it had been impossible to pull the wool over their eyes .

After a month passed and the soldiers didn’t return, public opinion completely turned against the current government .

The Awakened played a decisive role .

Some guilds searched inside the dungeon and found the tanks that the soldiers had used . There weren’t any bodies lying around but it didn’t look good .

It was almost like a story .

After a few days, uniformed zombies began to occasionally emerge on the 1st floor . The appearance of the soldiers wandering around was terrible .

The public exploded like a spring .

At first it was just a peaceful protest but things couldn’t be easily resolved . They were all parents or family of the soldiers .

In the end, the president apologized by resigning and a number of candidates ran for the presidency .

A reported from the United States, John also covered these series of events .

It was titled ‘The Useless and Ridiculous Pride Along with Ignorance caused the Worst Result . ’

At the same time, he published a book called ‘Dungeon Attack Record’ that detailed the monster wave that took place in South Korea and heavily criticized the government .

Thus, 2 months passed since the first monster wave occurred in South Korea .
