The previous evening.

A bluish twilight welcomed us.

'Not bad.'

I chuckled at the sight of the sunset.

The first experience had a variety of things.

In the end, the only ones that emerged from the entrance were the three women. Lee Ji-hye and I were carrying the two unconscious women.

Yoon Hyuk-soo......

He walked with the sword sunk in him. It was possible thanks to his high stamina. But he collapsed right in front of the entrance. His eyes were closed like he was sleeping.

'Things have been resolved.'

Shortly after leaving the dungeon, the two women were transferred to the shop operated by the Mithril Guild. They would handle things for a small fee.

A place for patients was prepared inside the shop. After emergency first aid was completed, they would be taken to hospital.

"What will you do now?"

I asked Lee Ji-hye who was staring at the sky with a blank expression.

"Work hard. I will do my best to live."

"Do you still plan to continue participating in raids?"

She shook the leather pouch filled with Cores.

"Except for selling my body, there isn't any other high income jobs for a twenty five year old single woman."

Somehow I could feel something in her voice. It seemed like she needed money to live a normal life.

Anyway, she hadn't abandoned the idea of exploring dungeons.

I nodded and asked again.

"Do you intend to join a guild?"

Lee Ji-hye opened her mouth without thinking.

"If I can earn money safely then I will sign up. But the screening of the 5 guilds is choosy. If I can't join them then is it worth signing up to another guild?"

5 famous guilds existed in Korea.

Each of the were led by Starters and the reliable raids was the biggest benefit. There are various merits but it was a big challenge itself joining the business.

Lee Ji-hye seemed to have applied to all 5 guilds. And failed the steps. It was a pessimistic attitude.

I pulled out a business card from your wallet.

"Take this."

"A business card?"

"Just mention my name and ask for formal admission. Take it."

Lee Ji-hye accepted the business card and red the writing in the middle.

"Heaven's Will...."

"Is there a problem?"

Heaven's Will was clearly one of the 5 famous guilds.

Lee Ji-hye shook her head.

"No. Rather, what is your relationship with the Heaven's Will guild master?"

"There is no need to know that."

"Randalph ssi. Tell me honestly. You are a beginner right?"

"I'll take care of it."

I didn't have the slightest intention of explaining. I just let Lee Ji-hye imagine whatever she wanted. It didn't matter where her imagination ended up.
