The Luspel and the Kaimon Empire.

In the past, the Colonar was made up of the constant confrontation between those two empires, and the map was made in such a way that the difficulty of hunting became higher as they further moved away from the Capital of each empire.

It was because the first-time users selected a country and created a character; the game started in the Capital of either empire.

However, since the end of the Imperial War episode called the ‘Spring and Autumn Period’, the monster distribution structure on the Colonar Continent was changed completely.

Originally, the distance between the two capitals was huge. Now, the capitals became numerous and multi-nuclearized.

Dozens of starting points have been created as more than a certain amount of kingdoms were created nationally.

Even some popular kingdoms, such as Lotus, had two starting points.

That didn’t mean that the city couldn’t accommodate all the new users at the same point.

The Lotus Estate—the capital of the kingdom—and the busiest city Pyro Domain.

These two were the starting points that could be chosen when the Lotus Kingdom was chosen as the nationality.

Among them, the Pyro Domain was one of the hottest starting points in the Korean Kailan server.

There were thousands of people waiting for character creation to start from the Pyro Domain.

Yu Min, the hottest actress in Korea.

She, too, was one of those waiting in line.

Tring-!

[Miss ‘Yu Min’, you cannot create a character in the ‘Pyro’ Domain of the Lotus Kingdom because it reached its limit (185,000/ 185,000)]

[Do you want to select another estate? (Y/N)]

[If you select another estate, the character creation waiting sequence will be initialized.]

[Current waiting number of ‘Yu Min’: 972.]

Yu Min sat down in the capsule with excitement after finishing her schedule. After checking the system messages, Yu Min came out of the capsule feeling disappointed.

With pouted lips, she spoke to her manager and unie, Lee Ye Jin.

“Ye Jin unie, I’m on waiting today!”

“Uh? Are you still waiting? What’s your number?”

“I don’t know. Was it around 900? I didn’t read it correctly.”

“That… Is that so? Hehe, I thought you could play today.”

Ye Jin, who felt a little sullen by the words of Yu Min, opened the capsule that was next to her.

Yu Min shook her head and asked her,

“Since I’m still on waiting, why did you open the capsule?”

“Min-ah, why don’t you just start from another estate? You haven’t played the game for a week already.”

“That’s not possible.”

“Why?”

“I won’t start the game unless it is from the estate of Ian God.”

“Ha, a celebrity trying to wait because of a gamer?”

“Even if I need to wait for another week, I’ll start with the Pyro Domain, unconditionally.”

“Ugh.”

Ye Jin shook her head and sat in the capsule.

Yu Min was surprised and opened his mouth to speak again,

“You’re going to start elsewhere, alone?”

“Aee, would I?”

“Then why are you getting into the capsule?”

“I want to check it. I need to look after our actress.”

Ye Jin frowned and responded,

Yu Min’s expression brightened noticeably.

“Haha, Unnie you are the best!”

Wheeing- chuk-!

Ye Jin lay down completely inside the capsule, and the capsule’s head closed automatically. The game started running after that.

As it was the capsule that Ye Jin ordered for the Hallyuu star—after spending billions on it—even the exterior design was very lavish.

She patted the capsule while standing next to Ye Jin—who was in the capsule.

“Hehe, I want to play the game as quickly as possible. I’ll play hard and get into the Lotus Guild somehow!”

Although her character wasn’t created yet, Hally star Yu Min had a big dream.

However, after a while, Yu Min felt that something was off.

“What, this Unnie? Does it take this much time to check the waiting number?”

Ye Jin went into the capsule to check for the waiting number, and even after several minutes had passed, she still hadn’t come out of the capsule.

At that moment, an ominous thought entered the head of Yu Min.

‘Ho, maybe! In the meantime, the waiting sequence was released, she wouldn’t have started the game, right?’

Crazy thoughts ran in her head. Yu Min immediately went to the other capsule that was next to her.

She wasn’t able to regain her composure; she couldn’t ignore her instincts.

Wheeing-!

After a while, the capsule started to work, and familiar system messages came before the eyes of Yu Min.

[‘Yu Min’ welcome to the world of Kailan.]

[The Kingdom level of the ‘Pyro’ Domain of the Lotus Kingdom has been increased.]

[The maximum capacity of the estate has been increased, you can now create a character right away.]

[Do you want to create a character?]

Yu Min, who saw the messages, couldn’t help but feel shocked.

The world’s messages, shining in purple light, were flowing in front of the chat window of all the users who were connected to Kailan.

The huge episode that was in progress for all the users of the human dimension had been finished, and this wasn’t a natural course of action.

Lugarix’s breath that brought in the power of transcendence extinguished Chalian, and the dark lines that were left behind by Chalian had gradually disappeared.

Compared to many challenges that they met on their way to Chalian, it seemed a bit too vain.

Many users were thinking in the same way. However, Ian wasn’t of the same thought.

Ian was the only user who understood all the situations perfectly well.

‘This was why we couldn’t face Chalian without Lugarix.’

Ian’s thoughts were still going on as he saw the body of Chalian burning.

‘Catching Chalian, the Middle-Earth content will be opened in a month or two. We need to preempt the Middle-Earth content well.’

But that was for a while only, Ian then turned obsessed with the personal messages that began to emerge following the world messages.

In front of Ian, an endless list of personal rewards began to rush in.

Tring-!

[You’ve achieved the highest contribution in the episode of ‘Lich King Chalian’!]

[Fame increased by 1 million.]

[Earned an additional 5 million contribution from the episode. (After the episode is over, you can exchange it for items or gold at the contribution shop.)]

[Obtained experience points of 198,742,500.]

[Level has risen.]

[Level has risen to ‘403’.]

[Obtained the item ‘Lich King’s, Crystal Buckle’.]

[You have earned the item ‘Amulet of Death’.]

(Syncopation)

[You have met the first condition to enter the ‘Warriors Village’.]

[Transcendence experience increased by 245.]

[Transcendence level has risen.]

[Your Transcendence level is now level 2.]

Ian’s status window was filled with huge amounts of rewards.

Ian looked at each of the messages that came up and smiled with a lot of satisfaction.

Ian just received rewards that were so huge to even convert into money.

Ian’s eyes continued to read the system messages and then stopped once he found what he was looking for.

‘Yes… found it!’

He was satisfied with the tremendous rewards he got, and he found clues about the dimension that he was looking for in the system message.

[Obatined the item ‘Underworld King’s Necklace Shard (C) (Sealed)’.]

‘According to what Kaka said, the total number of necklace pieces of the Underworld king are three.’

The King of the Underworld, the gatekeeper who protects the road to the Underworld.

All the pieces of the necklaces that Ian needed for the summon were in his hands.

Ian’s mouth went up after seeing the fragments.

Three fragments of the necklaces A, B, and C were all shinning in white.

Once all the debris on them was taken out and unsealed, the way to the Underworld would open.

‘I could now attack the Middle-Earth, the Spirit Dimension and the Dragon Haven. These three places, huh?’

Ian began to make a plan for the future.

There were three Middle-Earth places that Ian could enter, but he couldn’t go into the three at the same time.

The first choice of Ian was the Underworld.

‘It is inevitable. The first place I will go to is the Underworld. I wanted to go to the Spirit Dimension first, but I don’t really feel like going there.’

The reason Ian chose to go to the Underworld wasn’t that hard to understand.

It was because of his deal with Shakran about capturing the Lich King.

‘If you join the expedition, I will help you enter the Underworld’

That was the deal he had to fulfill.

After opening the Underworld’s path for Shakran and the Titan Guild, Ian himself couldn’t go to any other places in the Middle-Earth.

It was in a state that Ian couldn’t tolerate.

‘I need to pre-empt the content of the Underworld of Middle-Earth as much as possible and then go attack the Spirit Dimension. If it gets too late, The Spirit King will get sad. After I get the Behemoth, I need to go see the king without delay.’

Ian nodded to himself and smiled thinking about the Water Spirit King, Elisha.

Rough plans have been arranged.

While Ian was immersed in his thoughts, the black ash that was left by Chalian began to spread and cover the whole of Falcacio.

The castle that was originally tinged with darkness was now changing.

It revived into a beautiful ancient palace, shining in white and gold.

A few more personal system messages appeared in front of Ian.

Tring-!

[You have executed the Lich King Chalian and defended the peace of the human dimension.]

[You have fulfilled your promise with the hero of Luspel Empire, Muran.]

[You have fulfilled the ‘Hero’s Responsibility’.]

[You have successfully completed the quest ‘Heroes Responsibility (Hidden)’.]

This was why Ian was playing crazily for a month.

The message that he had completed the ‘Hero’s Responsibility’ quest had finally come.

“Kue!”

In particular, a line of system message that just popped up made Ian happier than the other rewards he got.

[You have earned the Unique Dual Class ‘Summoner Knight’.]
