Dungeon Hunter (던전사냥꾼)

Chapter 17: Breeding Species

South Korea, Japan and the world were surprised.

There was no precedent for creatures emerging from a dungeon only to move to another dungeon. The lich in the army of creatures was enough to cause astronomical damage.

In addition. Resistance was impossible.

The one who referred to themselves as a Dungeon Master was a beautiful woman with long ears! Her emergence was the most crucial thing.

The ones who dwelled on the top floor of the dungeon. A god, ruler of another world or even an alien. There was various types of theories.. If humans reached beyond their limit and arrived on the top floor then they could find the 'truth.'

But then something unpredictable happened.

Everyone was focused on the message left by the Dungeon Master.

'Climb up to the top floor. Then I will tell you the truth of the world.'

The world's scholars analyzed and studied the 'truth of the world' but it was ambiguous.

After two days, an amazing sight was seen between South Korea and Japan.

A surge of magic power. And a barrier of light.

In particular, South Korea and Japan were in an uproar.

"A sign that the world is ending."

"I will follow her!"

People predicted the end of the world.

Even ordinary people could feel the intense surge of magic power as their hearts beat wildly. The Awakened familiar with magic power couldn't sleep for three days and nights.

Everybody wondered what happened between the two dungeons but the truth wasn't revealed to humans.

And various groups started to worship the Dungeon Master as 'God.' People who felt fear instinctively started to follow the strongest.

Meanwhile, Japan asked South Korea to take responsibility.

It was a funny story but the creatures from South Korea travelled to Japan. They wanted South Korea to reimburse them for the astronomical damage but South Korea was still recovering.

In the end, Japan is anxious to turn public opinion and started to blame South Korea. This caused the relations between the two countries to worsen.

A few months passed but public opinion was still gloomy. Thousands of people crossed the river of no return overnight (suicide). The rate of domestic crime plummeted sharply.

Something was needed to break through the atmosphere. South Korea's leaders selected the Awakened.

"Orcs are swarming 150 metres to the left!"

"Guarders forward! Damage dealers circle closely while ranged users ready your skills!"

"Don't just believe in the healers! They have to prioritize their own safety! Don't let our ranks be disturbed!"

South Korea Dungeon's 4th floor.

The Awakened holding weapons were greeted by a swarm of orcs.

Originally capturing the 4th floor was a long time away but the country's mood meant the Awakened's rapid growth was inevitable.

The Awakened felt overwhelming fear at the army of creatures but something grew in their bodies at the same time.

The 'Heroes' were growing.
