Translator: WH
(T/N: Hi everyone, I’m making this little note to explain a few things before we start. I am the new translator that will be picking up this novel, and the previous translator did an amazing job with it honestly. But there will definitely be some differences and I hope you will excuse these differences. Alright, that will be all from me, hope you enjoy this novel which I find extremely interesting. Signing off, WH.)
The one-horned boar is a beast-type monster that lives all over the dungeon, and it was a very dangerous beast.
The destructive force from a heavy, strong-bodied boar and the long horn on the top of its head was used to take the lives of countless participants.
[Woo hoo hoo. Yeah, here here. This way.]
The Rabbit climbed onto the trap, and gently gestured at the boar that approached following the smell of smoked meat.
Sniff. Grrrrrrrrrrr!
The One-Horned Boar approached the trap with its red eyes flashing.
The Rabbit’s taunting behaviour had no effect on it, but the smell was definitely coming up from here.
Crrrrruuuurrrrkkkkk!
[Oh, yes, yes. The smell of smoked meat is amazing, right? You want to eat this, right? You’re starving, right?]
The Rabbit flew to the side of the one-horned boar and whispered like a demon.
[Here you go. You can eat as much as you want down there.]
Crrrrrruk?
When the wild boar directed its gaze in the direction where the Rabbit was pointing, the trap was seen at the bottom.
Grunt, sniff sniff?
It was sure that there was a delicious smell coming up from here, but……it was too deep.
Then the Rabbit raised its head next to the boar and began to cheer for it.
[Come on! You’re a brave pig! You can do it! Go, one-horned boar! Go for it!]
Crrrrruukkkk.
The wild boar’s gaze got fierce.
The monsters in the Dungeon are always hungry.
This is because it is more threatening to the participants this way.
Especially in the case of these monsters that was at the last spot of the stage, there were not even small animals to be seen nearby to fill their hunger.
And that extreme hunger sometimes causes them to lose their rationality.
Crrrrrrrrrukkkk!
[That’s right! Run!]
Thuddddd!
In the end, the one-horned boar jumped down.
That was how intense the smell of grilled meat is!
The big picture of the Rabbit, which started when he asked to make a brazier here, has just been completed.
Kwoowoong!
The weight of the heavy boar made the ground rumble.
And then it’s front foot slipped!
“Ku-hi-ik!”
[Huh?!]
The Rabbit followed his scream with lightning speed to confirm his safety.
[Are…., are you all right?!] Does it hurt a lot? It’s not to the point of dying, is it?]
“Kreuk…”
[Phew. Only one of the front legs is broken.]
As expected, the beast-type is tough.
The Rabbit breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of the one-horned boar, which was limping its front feet and raising its body.
[It’s all right. This is enough. That human is weak anyway. He doesn’t have a single offensive skill. Woohuuhuu.]
The Rabbit smiled evilly and turned his eyes towards the direction where Daun Jung was at.
Then pointed towards Daun Jung and shouted pompously.
[Okay. That way, piggy!] There he is! There’s meat, too!]

Crrrrruukkkkk!

Kwoowoong!
“Ughh, what?!”
The sudden noise shocked Daun Jung from his sleep.
‘Don’t tell me it’s a reset? Has it been a month already?’
The first thing that came to mind was the dungeon reset.
The problem with living here was losing track of time.
But there were no more additional quakes, and soon after, a monster’s cry resounded through the tunnel.
……Krrrr!
“Wow. What is this? Isn’t this the sound of a monster!”
Daun Jung rose from his seat with a pale complexion.
There was no way he didn’t know the cries of a one-horned boar.
He didn’t know what happened after the war, but it was clear that these ferocious monster appeared beyond the tunnel.
“Wow, what’s this, this! What happened to you?”
He hurriedly opened his inventory in a panic.
The only thing that could be used was a ‘Knife’ that was used for butchering.
He picked up a knife in one hand and a torch in the other.
And at that moment, the wounded monster in the tunnel gave out a ferocious gaze.
“Crack!”
“Argh!”
As expected of the one-horned boar!
Daun Jung threw away the torch he was holding at the face of the beast who was rushing toward him and flung himself to the side.
Phew!
The dirt bed that he laid on a little while ago hit the beast and crushed it mercilessly.
Even with a broken front leg, it was a terrifying destructive force.
“……what is this?! Ackkk!”
Daun Jung who hurriedly rolled and dodged to the side, suddenly saw a spiteful face smiling behind the one-horned boar.
The Rabbit was grinning obnoxiously, covering his mouth from a distance.
Even waving his hands to say farewell!
“Was this your doing!”
[Hehe. I see you got a visitor?] Then have fun. I’m busy so I’ll get going now!]
“Where are you trying to go! Take this piece of crap with you!”
[Sorry! I’m in the middle of a game so I can’t be away for long. It’s a shame I couldn’t accompany you for the last time. Anyway, let’s really say goodbye this time! Poof!]
“Hey!”
The Rabbit left such an irresponsible remark and disappeared in a flash.
And just below, the boar began to rush like a mad dog toward the direction where Daun Jung was at.
“Krrrrack! Krrrrrrrrrrrr
“Hey! Wait! Ackk! Don’t come! Ackkkkkkk!”
Daun Jung ran away frantically.
He rolled up and down the floor and crawled on all fours, and was out of his mind.
Knife? He couldn’t even see where that fell to.
‘It’s impossible to fight against this! Is there any other way? Right, there’s that way!’
Just in time, a passage to the trap came to view, and at that moment a good idea came to his mind.
‘That’s it!’
Paattttttt!
At the same time as he thought of that, he moved quickly to the front of the path.
His legs were shaking nervously and he almost fell, but he managed to get in front of the boar and shouted at it.
“This way!”
“Krraaak!”
The one-horned boar which had completely dodged aside from the mound of dirt glared at Daun Jung and scoffed.
Then in an instant, it proceeded to storm its feet and dashed ferociously!
“Build: Walls!”

Come on, come on, come on!
Come on, come on, come on!
Daun Jung quickly summoned bricks of dirt in front of him and piled it up.
Of course, that wasn’t close to even being enough to stop the wild boar’s charge.
“I can at least block its vision right!”
Daun Jung immediately flung himself aside.
And at that moment, the boar rammed the wall right in front of it with full power.
Boom!
“Krraaak!”
The wall collapsed, and the boar’s body rushed straight into the passage that was behind the wall.
And when the beast belatedly realized that Daun Jung was not in front of him, it hurriedly turned back.
“Creak!”
Daun Jung could be seen in the boar’s field of vision, and he had completed all preparations.
“Get the fuck out of my house, you son of a bitch!”
Daun Jung shouted and began to summon and hammered all the dirt lumps in his inventory into the passage.
Rumbling!
“Crack! Crack!?””
The one-horned boar struggled back and forth, and was pushed back by a mass of mud that was being shoved into the tunnel, and the entrance began to be clogged.
However, Daun Jung did not stop there, but completely blocked the hole off by tearing down the wall above the tunnel.
“Haaaa……I lived, fuck.”
A sigh of relief came out at last.
He relaxed and flopped down.
Daun Jung sat down on the ground with his legs relaxed.
Crack! Kagak Kagak! Krak!
Behind his back, he could hear from a distant the sound of the boar digging the ground.
……It can’t be. If it can really dig out from the hole, he’s definitely a mole, not a pig.
A laugh came out for no reason.
“Kiiikiiii. Am I finally crazy? Laughing and fumbling in this situation.”
He was really in a wretched mood now.
He managed to survive the near-death situation, but the only tunnel connected to the ground was blocked like this.
‘Now I’m completely isolated. Now I can’t go outsid-…… huh?’
His eyes suddenly widened.
“……Oh. I was never able to get out right?”
The only difference was that he couldn’t get out of the trap because of the monsters swarming the old ruins.
Come to think of it, nothing has changed.
Daun Jung became collected and cheered himself up again.
* * *
Kreuk! Kagak! Kagak!
“Now, What am I going to do about that shitty boar?”
As soon as he had some room to think about the situation, Daun Jung thought it was a waste to leave the boar like that.
The one-horned boar was a ferocious and scary monster, but at the same time it was also a delicious source of food.
‘ If I can somehow catch it, it’ll be a pork belly party.….’
Daun Jung, who was already fed up with the same diet every day, craved for the pork meat that came down here on its own accord.
Of course, it would be impossible to fight against the boar, but he thought maybe it would be possible if it was just to kill it.
“Hmm….. Dirt Lump. Dirt Lump.”
Shinggg. Pshhhh.
Daun Jung began digging a new tunnel beside the entrance that was blocked off.
Shinggg. Pshhhh.
Just like that, little by little, digging sideways, he eventually dug through to the back of the one-horned boar.
He detoured in the opposite direction of the trap.
And before the boar could notice it, he quickly poured in the dirt and blocked the path behind the beast.
Rumbling!
“Crrrrrrrrr!”
“Yes! There we go!”
The one-horned boar was trapped in the middle of the tunnel with his front and back path completely blocked off.
Instead of Daun Jung, it was the boar who got isolated.
However, he wasn’t even thinking of ending it just like that.
“I’ll make it clear now that I’m the king. You dumb pork.”
Daun Jung began digging for a new tunnel again.
This time in the direction above the boar.
“Dirt Lump! Dirt Lump!”
Shinggg. Pshhhh.
Digging upwards required him to do one more thing.
He had to first dig a hole diagonally, and placed a brick of dirt under his feet to make some stairs.
After a while, a neat underground staircase was built under his feet and…….
Before he knew it, he was standing at the top looking down at the boar in an arrogant posture.
He dug to a height that could never be reached by the boar.
It was not an easy task, but it was worth the trouble.
“Kreak! Klaak!”
“Why? You want to come up? If that was possible, you’d be a spider, not a pig.”
Daun Jung sneered excitedly at the one-horned boar, who looked up at him with anger from below.
No matter how great a monster it was, it was impossible for a four-legged pig to jump vertically because of its body structure.
In the end, towards the one-horned boar who eventually became trapped in such a deep pit, Daun Jung smiled wickedly and said his final greetings.
“Welcome. It’s your first time at a live burial, right?”
“……!”
At that moment, piles of dirt began to pour down over the head of the bewildered boar.
Rumbling!
“Kruaaap…”
There was nowhere for him to escape from this isolated area.
The boar began to have difficulty breathing.
* * *
After a long time, the Rabbit came back.
[I’m here to see the dead body! He’s probably dead now, right? He’s most probably dead now, right? Hehe.]
The Helper is someone that was always busy.
They couldn’t watch every moment of the game, but they had a noble mission to show up at every important turning point and give the participants a trial.
Today too, the Rabbit felt very excited and rewarded when he returned after fulfilling his duties.
[Piggy! Where are you?] Where’s our one-horned boar? You there? Are you full?]
The Rabbit’s body stopped at the middle of the trap while humming merrily.
[……Huh? Something’s different about the entrance?]
His mood suddenly became serious and dispirited.
For some reason, there was a tunnel that he had never seen before, and there were stairs.
He was nervous. He was very anxious!
Feeling agitated, the Rabbit slowly went in along the path that was much different from usual.
And at the end…….
“Oh. You’re here?”
[……!?]
Daun Jung was sitting in the middle and butchering the giant body of the one-horned boar zealously.
‘This preposterous!’
The Rabbit’s eyes, nose and mouth were wide open with astonishment.
[You caught a one-horned boar?! Despite being a Producer class?!]
“If you’re here, can you clean the dirt off me? Today is a pork belly party.”
[Shut up! You error son of a bitch!] You shitty bug of the dungeon!]
Looking at his audacious behaviour, the Rabbit fell on his feet.
The rabbit was praying hard for Daun Jung’s death, but somehow only his source of food was growing.

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.

Even if this is slow, it gives you the reader, things to behold. This is a story but also knowledge. It isn’t fast or entertaining but makes you wonder. Everything starts from something unknown, we all want to know the untold. However, can you persevere if something starts being boring? Shouldn’t entertainment start from something unexciting? Open a door to what you might know or not. Learn to dream in my unhealthy abode. Start from the garbage since that’s the place where I belong. Welcome to Raccoon’s abode. Breaking Horizons: Breaching the Fourth Dimension. A slow story that will take you on a ride towards the unknown. PS: Will make things clear here.

I still haven't added it to the story, as I am currently doing the intro. A long intro! So the start might feel off when you read it. The story will include many genres but starts with psychological stuff and low fantasy. The whole story is an enormous puzzle, but it starts with a tiresome beginning for many. There is a reason for that... If you want to know more about this story check my discord: https://discord.gg/rZs6mem You can ask what you want to know there. Or join a bigger and cooler server where many authors hang out: https://discord.gg/2hbvq8B (Its dungeon engineer and many cool stories' server) This is my own story, so its for me only.
