A Campsite Owner in S-Class Dungeon

Chapter 9: Regular Customer

"Hunter Chae Dong-hwa. I want to ask you one thing."

"Yes."

I said and led Hunter Chae Dong-hwa to the tent.

"Actually, it's strange that you're the only one at the Campsite. Have you seen any other Hunters around here?"

"..."

While walking forward, Hunter Chae Dong-hwa suddenly looked at me. It seemed like he was asking if I really didn't know why as one of his eyebrows was bent.

"Of course. As you know, the Blue Starlight Dungeon is getting deeper as it goes west. With less than 60% of the subjugation completed, this Campsites are close to its center and are dangerous for Hunters to come. They don't pass through except during expeditions where they have to periodically kill Monsters."

"Yes...? What did you say?"

I can't believe this is the center...

Other Dungeons have been attacked once, so the center will not be very dangerous, but the Blue Starlight Dungeon was different.

As Hunter Chae Dong-hwa said, the Blue Starlight Dungeon was not subjugated by 60%.

In other words, the Campsite was narrowly hung on the cut line of the uncleared area.

"Didn't you know?"

Hunter Chae Dong-hwa looked at me with even more suspicious eyes.

He doesn't know I came to the Dungeon because I warped. I only told him I couldn't leave the Dungeon because of circumstances.

He must have thought that I knew how deep this place was because I came by myself.

"I was actually warped. I didn't come in on my own feet..."

He nodded after hearing the whole story roughly.

"I see. This is the Giant and Dragon Forest, halfway between that."

"Huh. Giant and Dragon?"

The first time I met Harpy was Yakgwa. If I had met a Giant or a Dragon, I would have been stuck in that pressure.

"I didn't know this was such a dangerous place... Then, when will the Hunters who participated in the expedition come?"

"It usually takes about 3 weeks to allocate the Dungeons to the Guilds that the Association requested and prepare for the expedition. Most people go on expeditions at the end of the month, but that's not accurate because it varies from Guild to Guild."

At the end of the month, it was not that far. It was a relief in the midst of misfortune.

"Then, is there anyone who walks around the Dungeon alone like Hunter Chae Dong-hwa?"

"At the entrance to the Dungeon, there may be a lone Hunter, but they don't usually come this deep. There are also ghost stories about this Dungeon, especially alone."

"..."

I knew about the ghost story.

The Gate in the Dungeon that is said to suck up Hunter in an instant.

My mom and brother were swept away by the Gate.

It was no longer a ghost story.

"Then why do you go around alone?"

Of course, questions were bound to arise. All those who went missing after being caught up in the Gate were Hunters of S-Rank or higher.

Therefore, the Dungeon Research Center speculated that the higher the class Hunter, the higher the probability of being sucked in.
