6 the doors of the temple

The raid leader was confused about this, but all the way here he didn't see the boss room, this seems to be the end of the dungeon and they haven't seen anything yet, is there really a hidden boss, it must be so.

No more monsters have appeared anymore, which means that only the boss monster of this place should remain, if that was not the case, the dungeon would start to close and the portal would cut off its connection after a while, so where is that one? boss monster?

The raid leader consulted his doubts to the elf in front of him, all this was heard by the others and they also seemed confused, when it comes to hidden bosses, either it is a rare monster hiding, or there may be a peculiar case, everyone They looked at each other and seemed to have an unspoken thought.

Har noticed his stares and also knew what they thought, so he didn't delay the information and confirmed his guess.

"I don't know if you know this term, but this is a double dungeon."- This information is something you know from the original story, it is assumed that someone from the group would discover a hidden entrance in the darkness later, that path leads to the secret temple of a supposed god, Har knows that all this is a farce, just a test to observe the determination of the possible new monarch.

"Double dungeon?!"

"Incredible!"

Everyone was surprised to hear the elf's words, this kind of dungeons are hard to find, if they can get the benefits then they will get a fortune.

"It is so."

The leader seemed to have expected this, yet he had a bit of astonishment in his expression, but he was thinking about whether he should enter the double dungeon.

How difficult is that place? The leader doesn't know and can't make a hasty decision. After all, the lives of his companions are in his hands. double dungeon and take a chance.

"Lord Elf..." -The leader wanted to consult this with Har, it seems that he has been here for a long time, if anyone knows the difficulty of the double dungeon well, it should be him.

"You can call me Link." -Har said interrupting the raid leader.

"Ah, I see, Mr. Link, have you entered the double dungeon yet? If so, I would like you to provide us with knowledge about that place."

"I've been in before..."

Hearing this, the leader and a few others cleared their expressions, however hearing the rest seemed a bit disappointed.

"...it's just that, after walking through a tunnel for a long time, I only came across a giant door that prevented the passage, I tried to open it, but I couldn't."

Har acted a bit disappointed, he didn't want to tell them the terror that awaits behind those doors, no one would enter that place knowing that there are creatures that even S-rankers can't defeat.

It's also not like he plans to go in there, there is nothing beneficial and only death will await him, it is possible that the administrator will make a move and kill him without a trace, it is best to let this group go alone and follow the original story .

Now that everything has changed a bit due to his appearance, Har thought that he should push and let this group fall into the temptation to enter, but, he is treated as a monster by them, they may think the opposite of what whatever, so he just watched from the side while these people argued.

"You know, if we report this dungeon to the guilds we will be left with few benefits, we can try to enter on our own now, maybe we can open the doors together and get a lot of treasures."

It didn't take Har to push, the raid leader did the job for him and planted the seed of doubt in everyone's hearts, even Sung Jinwoo seemed to think hard about the leader's words.

Not to mention food, he has to pay for his sister's studies, basic household bills, even his mother's expensive hospital bills.

"..."

Sung Jinwoo clenched his fists, a mana crystal lay inside his hand, this is a crystal from an E rank monster, after an arduous fight that could cost his life this is all he has obtained, it is not enough, yeah you can get something else, even if it is minimal, you should try, maybe that way you can bring some meat to your little sister.

"Hey, young Sung, only you are missing, what do you say?"

The raid leader asked, Sung Jinwoo snapped out of his thoughts immediately, a vote was taking place between everyone to determine whether to enter or not, Har was left out of this, so they were half/half, just missing the vote by Sung Jinwoo.

"I'm coming." Sung Jinwoo said determinedly.

"Then, it is decided, elf lord, that is, Mr. Link, please show the way."

"Okay, follow me."

Har was vague on the matter and led the hunters, he really had no idea where the entrance was, after all, he hadn't been to this place before.

Fortunately, he only had to walk a bit and was able to see an entrance in the wall ahead.

"Here it is, as I said, at the end of this tunnel you will find the door I mentioned."

"Oh, aren't you going to join us?"

The leader understood Har's words, gave him a questioning look and asked:

"Isn't it your mission to kill the boss monster? I think it would be good for everyone if you join us."

'...'

Har was a bit taken aback to be drawn into this, he has no plans to enter the boss room, much less face the impossible.

But it's true that he is treated like a monster, they might think that the tunnel is some trap and there is no double dungeon, maybe they even think that he is the real boss or something.

"I thought you would feel uncomfortable with my presence, but since you ask, then I will accompany you."

Sighing inwardly, Har could only grudgingly agree and continue with the hunters, in any case, he will open a dimensional gate and leave this place before being killed.

"By the way, before we continue, won't you take out the cores of the monsters?"

The leader seemed more relieved with the elf's participation, so he reminded him of this before continuing.

"Huh, the cores?"

Har had completely forgotten about this, those things can be very valuable in this world, but he doesn't belong in this place.

Seeing the puzzled face of the elf, the leader thought of something and asked:

"Aren't magic cores used in your elven world?"

Magic cores? In his world even monster nails, eyes, heart are used, as long as it belongs to a monster, then it can be used.

With this in mind, Har thought that he might have some use for this in the game, so he agreed to the boss's words and decided to take the cores.

Because of this, he noticed some strange looks from the other hunters, they were losing valuable cores now, though the fact that they were killed by him didn't let them say a word.

Har paid them no attention, but as soon as he got closer to the monsters he noticed something strange, a flickering glow appeared on some areas of his body.

'Did this exist in the original story?'

Har was confused, he didn't seem to remember this glow, he glanced at the hunters not far away, but none seemed to notice this.

Unconsciously, Har placed his hand on this glow, the next second something out of this world appeared.

[Press A to Take]

'This thing, why is it here?'

Har immediately understood what was happening, just like defeating a monster in the video game, by approaching its remains you can take the best parts, these are the ones that can be used to create elixirs.

It's just that, in the video game, the monsters directly leave these important parts and the rest disappear, it seems that this is not the case here, it would be rare for the corpse to disappear as if by magic.

Har only thought of pressing A, immediately the glow disappeared and a holographic screen appeared in front of him.

[-C-tier magic core.

A special crystal that contains supernatural power within it, can be sold for a good price, but it can also have some secret uses.]

'This thing also appeared.'

Har looked at the holographic screen puzzled, this usually appears when discovering a new object in the game, but why does this still work in this world as well?

Har concluded that it was something attached to the character, so reincarnating as Link was perhaps for the best after all.

By the time Har finished getting his hands on the monsters, some new things had appeared in his inventory.

[>C-tier Magic Core< ×3]

[>D-level Magic Core< ×5]

[>E Tier Magic Core< ×7]

The glow on the monsters he killed disappeared, though he didn't get any parts of the corpse, Har thought they weren't good things or something, and even if they were important, he wouldn't carry them on his back all the way, so he left them. .

"Huh, you're not going to take them?"

The leader asked confused, because this is an elf, he had thought that for love of nature he was doing a ritual to offer the souls of monsters or something like that, after that he should open the bodies and look for the mana crystals, but now it returned without opening a single body.

"Don't worry, we have time to load their bodies when we're done with the boss monster."

Obviously Har wouldn't say anything about the brightness or its storage, so he said this to get off the subject.

The leader nodded and thought he was right, once they kill the boss they can get all the crystals back, this embarrassed him a bit, unaffiliated hunters like them tend to get the crystals back as soon as they kill a monster, if they don't It is possible that some guild arrived later and kept everything.

After all, guilds divide dungeon properties into districts, if you want to enter a dungeon you should talk to them first, even if it's the hunter association, they'll all want to keep a piece of the profits, either the crystals or the bodies of the monsters.

Leaving that aside, they all walked and went into the tunnel, Har was left in front to watch his movements, the leader was next behind him, in case he did something strange then he would attack him without thinking.

"Hey Jinwoo, why did you choose to be a hunter, why are you risking your life like this?"

At the back of the group, the healer, Lee Juhee, walked next to Sung Jinwoo with a strange expression.

They have been dabbling together for a long time and he always wondered this, now that Sung Jinwoo made the dangerous decision to investigate the double dungeon, he thought it was the perfect time to ask.

"..."

Sung Jinwoo's face turned serious for a second, he thought about his mother and sister, about their lives since their father disappeared in a dungeon, but he couldn't open up and tell all this, he doesn't want pity from others, he doesn't want Don't let Miss Lee Juhee feel bad for him or even think about this when she sees him.

"I…do it for fun."

Sung Jinwoo's serious face disappeared and he smirked.

"Tch, you say you risk your life for fun? Look at you, you've been on the verge of death the whole time."

Lee Juhee didn't believe her words and said in a scolding tone, even though she sounded angry, her face actually looked very cute and not threatening.

This made Sung Jinwoo laugh, the atmosphere between them became very warm at this moment, but they received piercing gazes from the hunters ahead, even Har, who was in front, could hear the entire conversation.

They are in a closed space and everyone else is silent, the conversation of these guys was involuntarily heard by everyone.

Their faces became strange and they seemed embarrassed, but after a few seconds they both smiled and continued their conversation, only this time murmuring.

"Miss Juhee, I'm sorry, you didn't agree to explore this place."

Sung Jinwoo said feeling guilty, if something bad happened then it would be his fault, or so he thought now, everyone really gave their opinion on this, it's not his fault for being last.

"Teehe"

With a smile, Lee Juhee placed her arms on her back and leaned forward a bit, she seemed very cute at the moment and said.

"If you invite me to eat, I'll let it go."

"Oh really?!"

Sung Jinwoo got excited hearing her, he didn't think he would actually put a condition like that.

"Here is the place."

In front of a stately double gate, Har stopped and waited for everyone else.

'Tch, I hope nothing happens, I'll escape as soon as I get the chance.'
