Ordinary Art Factor [EN]: Chapter 41

The trip from Jeju International Airport to Busan is only about 45 minutes.

After getting my ticket, I browsed the duty-free shop, but Ji-hye and Mi-hye kept following me around, which was really annoying.

“I’m telling you clearly, I’m a married man.”

“If you keep coming at me like this, I might just gobble you up… ahem.”

The plane takes off, and after a quick juice, we’re already preparing to land.

After leaving the airport, Han-deuk assigned everyone to the two waiting taxis and we headed towards Haeundae.

Ji-hye and Mi-hye kept asking to ride with me, so I chose Han-deuk without hesitation.

In the taxi, Han-deuk outlined the schedule, mentioning lunch nearby, a short break, and then heading to the meeting place.

After a leisurely seafood stew with a shot of soju [Korean rice wine], we took a short break and went to the meeting place, OO Coffee Shop.

About a dozen people were already gathered in a large room.

Most were in their early 20s to mid-30s.

I’m probably the oldest one here… huh?

A skinny female Awakened in her late 20s from the Aria Party, a cousin of Gil-soo who had acted friendly before, is now glaring at me.

She scans me from head to toe and clicks her tongue loudly enough for me to hear.

What a rude, crazy bitch… never mind.

Let’s not engage. I don’t want my blood pressure to rise for no reason.

We sat at tables divided by party, ordered coffee and drinks, and then each party introduced themselves.

The Jjangssen Party, with its childish name, consisted entirely of Rank 9 Awakened, with 3 warriors, 2 mages, and 1 healer, mostly in their early to late 20s.

The Aria Party, which included the rude female Awakened and Gil-soo’s cousin, had 3 warriors, 2 mages, 1 healer, and 1 priest.

When it was our turn, Han-deuk stood up and introduced the party members….

“… Lastly, this is Han Ji-won, the leader of our Support Party. His job is Art Factor, but he has Rank 8 stats as a summoner….”

“What? Art Factor?”

As expected, that female Awakened is acting rude again.

I want to smack her!

“Did you just say Art Factor? Why is an Art Factor here? Did you come as a worker? If you’re a worker….”

“Weren’t you called Choi Hee-sun earlier?”

I couldn’t stand it any longer and stepped in myself.

This bitch must think I’m a pushover because I’m staying quiet.

“Yes. I don’t know how you became a party leader, but the reason we’re here today is to clear the Rank 8 Bio Dungeon. Useless people should leave, right?”

“Ha… there are all sorts of people in this world… whatever, why are you judging whether I’m useful or not?”

I sighed quietly to myself and started talking informally to the crazy bitch.

“W-what did you say?”

“Are you deaf? I asked, how do you judge whether I’m useful, what my abilities are? Do you even know me?”

“You’re an Art Factor! You clearly said you’re an Art Factor! An old geezer trying to butt in!”

She even points her finger at me and screams.

What? An old geezer?

This crazy bitch is really out of her mind, isn’t she?

As the voices grew louder, Han-deuk stepped in to stop me, and the Aria Party members also started to stop the crazy bitch.

Just when I thought she was calming down, I saw the crazy bitch staring at me from the corner of the room, muttering under her breath, and I wondered what I was doing here.

“Oppa~ calm down. You look like a viper, and you act just like one.”

“That’s right, Oppa. Anyway, when we clear the dungeon, the mineral rewards will vary depending on the contribution, right? Just bear with it until we enter.”

Ji-hye and Mi-hye are trying to cheer me up with their cuteness by my side, but the crazy bitch starts talking nonsense again when she sees this.

“An Awakened surrounded by young gold diggers, not even knowing he’s being led to his death… the world has become a better place. Hehehe….”

I take it back.

That bitch isn’t crazy.

She’s just mentally ill.

Judging by her actions, she’s not a human with a normal way of thinking… ah… is that the same thing?

There was a bit of a commotion, but the dungeon entry time was approaching anyway.

We couldn’t just hang around there forever.

Based on the report that the Aria Party leader had distributed in advance, he began briefing the dungeon clear plan.

“… As you know, a Rank 8 dungeon requires a minimum of 15 Rank 9 Awakened to enter. That’s why we’re here today. The Haeundae Rank 8 Bio Dungeon we’re attacking today has Evolved Zerglings, Evolved Hydralisks, and Lurkers as dungeon units. Note that Evolved Zerglings are more than twice as fast as regular Zerglings, so please spread out to avoid being surrounded. Lurkers hide underground and attack with long tentacles, so we plan to operate a scouting team. The scouting team will receive support from one mage from each party, and the Evolved Hydralisks will be handled by warrior-type Awakened. Also, the spine crawlers near the Mature Tower will be attacked with long-range magic….”

The Aria Party leader, who had the crazy mentally ill woman as a party member, was at least a normal human being.

In his early 30s, a Rank 9 warrior-type Awakened.

In my opinion, he seemed like a very remarkable person.

To be able to have a crazy mentally ill person as a party member!

What an amazing ability!

Before entering the dungeon, the briefing on the attack, the preview of the dungeon units, the scouting team operation plan, and the size and scale of the dungeon continued for a while, and finally, the story about the dungeon clear reward began to come out.

“With that, I will conclude the dungeon attack briefing, and next is the content about the clear reward. As before, 30% of the mineral reserves will be divided among the number of clearing personnel….”

“Let’s go with 9 to 1, no… 100% based on contribution!”

The crazy bitch is acting up again.

Huh? Wait a minute.

“There’s no need to give clear rewards to useless Awakened just to match the number of people. If you don’t have the ability, you should live accordingly. You can’t just freeload like a beggar when you don’t do anything. Don’t you think so?”

The crazy mentally ill woman looks at me as she says the last words.

Huh… this….

“Okay. Let’s do that. Dungeon clear reward, 100% payment according to contribution. Let’s… write a contract. So that no one changes their mind later.”

“Okay. Let’s write it. Rewards according to contribution go 100% to the affiliated party or individual. How is everyone?”

At the crazy bitch’s words, there was a buzz here and there.

Originally, all dungeon clear rewards vary slightly depending on the composition of the individual, party, or guild, regardless of rank, and this is related to the job.

Of course, the warrior type, who fights at the front as a meat shield, is the most dangerous and has the highest contribution.

Next is the mage type. They clear the dungeon with long-range magic attacks, but Awakened with wide-area attack skills have more contribution than warrior types.

And the last is the healer or priest type, who are essential personnel for clearing the dungeon, but their contribution has a percentage depending on the number of heals or treatments.

In other words, if warrior-type or mage-type Awakened do not get injured or wounded, healer-type or priest-type Awakened may not receive dungeon rewards, but this is almost never the case.

Who can predict an unexpected injury?

Unless they carry extra lives, combat-type Awakened team up with healing-type Awakened. Whether it’s a party or a guild. Of course, even if the minimum number of people to enter a Rank 10 dungeon is 4….

It’s natural unless you can clear the dungeon alone, but the crazy bitch now wants the Rank 8 dungeon reward to be distributed 100% based on contribution.

In other words, if you don’t do anything when clearing the dungeon, you won’t get a single penny in reward.

Watching the crazy bitch hoping that I would lose only the dungeon entry fee and the expenses to get here, I quietly, calmly, without rushing, gave her a slight sneer and stayed still. Until everyone signed the agreement.

I was the first to sign the agreement, and our party members followed suit.

After that, the crazy bitch and the Aria Party members, and the Jjangssen Party members all stamped the contract.

I was sitting on one side watching them, and why was I laughing so much?

Han-deuk, Gil-soo, Ji-hye, and Mi-hye next to me were also clearly holding back their laughter, bowing their heads.

Han-deuk, who coughed briefly, whispered to me in a small voice.

“Hyung-nim [term of respect for an older brother or male friend]. It looks like we can take a lot more than we initially thought?”

“I know. That crazy bitch is helping us. She thinks she’s being smart.”

“That’s why Oppa [term of endearment for an older brother or male friend from a younger female] should dress properly. What’s with these clothes~. I can’t let this happen. After clearing this dungeon, let’s go to the department store with me.”

“I’ll go with you.”

“Denied! I’m going on a restaurant tour.”

“It’s because you dress so shabbily that those vixens look down on you. Do you want to suffer like this again?”

“… If they sign an agreement like that, anytime!”

“Hehehe….”

“Kekeke….”

“… Kikik… that’s true too. Oppa is stylish!”

“Haha….”

Ji-hye’s words of stylish and our laughter echoed in the coffee shop room.

Perhaps she was watching the party members, the crazy bitch’s tsk-tsk sound could be heard from here, and others looked at us and shook their heads as if they didn’t understand.

Whatever.

But I really want to say this.

Thank you! Crazy bitch.

Each party promised to meet in front of the Haeundae Rank 8 Dungeon Management Office in 30 minutes and then broke up.

We gathered because of the number of people entering the dungeon, but since the reward has changed to 100% contribution, we split up to re-establish the clear plan.

A plan for their parties to increase their contribution a little more….

Since it was less than 20 minutes walk to the Dungeon Management Office, I walked leisurely and started explaining the clear plan to them after entering the dungeon.

* * *

I entered the Haeundae Rank 8 Bio Dungeon.

As soon as the familiar dizziness subsided, I walked forward, put on my Awakened boots, gloves, and cloak, and immediately summoned all the Zealots in my inventory.

“Summon 80 Zealots!”

At my cry, 80 Zealots appeared with a faint light rising from the dungeon floor. Looking at the Zealots, 2m tall, with sharp gauntlets and red eyes staring at me, I felt the frustration from the coffee shop disappear.

Gil-soo was standing in front, looking towards the Aria Party and the Jjangssen Party, centered on me, and Mi-hye and Ji-hye were casting fire magic and ice magic on the left and right, and Han-deuk was giving us blessings from behind.

Perhaps they didn’t understand this phenomenon that occurred upon entry, their cries burst out belatedly.

“Kaaaa!”

“What! Are you betraying us now?”

“What are you doing!”

“Z, Zealots!”

“Crazy! This is a Bio Dungeon!”

Oh, right… this is a Bio Dungeon, isn’t it?

I didn’t know. Sorry.

I gave an order to the Zealots who were looking at me.

“10 will protect us, and the rest will destroy the units and buildings in the dungeon. The priority is Mature Tower, Spine Crawlers, Lurkers, Evolved Hydralisks, and Evolved Zerglings. Go!”

70 Zealots started running towards the hill, and I started walking leisurely, protected by 10 Zealots and my party members.

Leaving them stunned, not knowing what had happened….

Oh, and the crazy bitch too.

“Wall of Fire. Fire Wall!”

“… They’re coming up! Zealots, stick to them!”

‘Kaaak… Kaaak.’

…….

“The Goddess Idea’s grace. Heal them. Personal Heal!”

“… Okay. Crystal of Tears. Ice Tornado!”

“Wait a moment! Attack the Hydralisk on the right first. Zealots, go!”

…….

The Rank 8 Bio Dungeon was clearly different from the Rank 9 and Rank 10 dungeons.

There was a Lurker that I hadn’t seen in the Rank 9 dungeon, and the Zerglings and Hydralisks were also Evolved, moving or attacking at twice the speed, and the size of the dungeon was more than twice as large as the Rank 9 dungeon, so there was a big difference in the number of dungeon units.

But whatever, it doesn’t matter to me.

The Lurker hiding on the dungeon floor was the most difficult, but if Ji-hye scorched the floor with her Fire Wall magic, the guy would pop out.

Of course, the bait to lure him out is a Zealot.

If you throw one or two Zealots as bait for the Lurker, he attacks with his long tentacles, and if you use fire magic in the center of the tentacles, he hates fire due to his nature, so he jumps out of the floor. At this time, the Zealots waiting stick to him and tear his body with their sharp gauntlets.

When Mi-hye uses her Ice Tornado magic on the Evolved Zerglings and Evolved Hydralisks, their movements slow down, and the Zealots waiting also take them down individually.

Of course, Mi-hye and Ji-hye’s large-scale magic attacks are only once or twice, but if Han-deuk replenishes their magic power with blessings and heals, they can manifest magic once more.

Of course, this clearing method is possible because it is our party.

Originally, the warrior type was supposed to be a meat shield in the front, the mage type was a supporter, and the healer and priest types were assistants, but we don’t need that.

We have dozens of Zealots that can be used as meat shields, bait, and fodder.

Since we destroyed the Mature Tower from the beginning, there is no additional production of dungeon units.

After taking enough rest, Han-deuk replenished Ji-hye and Mi-hye’s magic power, and Gil-soo, who was protecting me, supported in case of an emergency.

Two hours after slowly processing the dungeon units without overdoing it, we were able to approach the Mature Tower, and finally, the dungeon clear notification popped up.

[Ding! You have cleared the Rank 8 Bio Dungeon.]

“Everyone worked hard.”

“Heehee… that was really hard.”

“Whew… we finally cleared it. Rank 8 is different after all.”

“It can’t be compared to Rank 9.”

“Still, it’s great that we cleared it among ourselves.”

Ji-hye and Mi-hye said one word each, panting, and Han-deuk and Gil-soo also spoke in a joking tone of complaint. But,

“Da, daebak [Korean slang for ‘jackpot’ or ‘amazing’]!”

“Is this all minerals?”

“Heo [Korean exclamation of surprise or disbelief]….”

“As expected, Rank 8!”

A pile of mineral chunks that couldn’t even be compared to Rank 9.

At first glance, there were twice, no, three times more mineral chunks piled up than the total amount of existing Rank 9 minerals.

Everyone, with their tired appearance gone, started mining minerals like crazy.

“Wow~ look at this size. I’ve never seen a size like this while mining minerals.”

“Mine too. Don’t you think one of these weighs more than 10kg?”

The guys started picking up mineral chunks, wandering around here and there, just like picking up coins dropped on the floor.

They were busy bragging that the mineral chunks they mined were bigger.

Anyway, I can’t mine physically.

No, I can mine, but I don’t.

There’s no reason to dig with a shovel in front of an excavator….

Instead, I walked to the rock crevices in the area a little away from the Mature Tower.

This is a Rank 8 dungeon, so of course, it’s to mine gas.

“Summon all Probes.”

[Ding! Summons 101 Probes.]

Numerous Probes, enough to fill the floor, were summoned with a white light. I picked one up, touched its antenna, and placed it on the ground.

“Create Gas Extractor!”

At my command, the Probe scurried into a rock crevice, and its body began to glow blue.

‘Psh… ch… chzzzz’

Streams of blue light shot up, creating a Gas Extractor about 1 meter tall.

[Ding! Gas Extractor created. Total capacity: 40.164L]

The Probe, now inside the newly created Gas Extractor, approached me, emitting black vapor from its snout.

[Ding! Absorbed 0.3L of Rank 8 Bio Dungeon gas. Gas Shard increased by 1.]

“40 liters… So, if I extract it all… 133 shards?”

The gas needed to create a Dracon Core is 50 shards, and the gas needed to produce one Dracon from the Gateway is 2 shards.

In that case….

“Extract all the gas!”

I commanded the numerous Probes that were spinning around me frantically. They struggled to be the first to enter the Gas Extractor.

Cute guys.

[Ding! Absorbed 0.3L of Rank 8 Bio Dungeon gas. Gas Shard increased by 1.]

[Ding! Absorbed 0.3L of Rank 8 Bio Dungeon gas. Gas Shard increased by 1.]

[Ding! Absorbed 0.3L of Rank 8 Bio Dungeon gas. Gas Shard increased by 1.]

…….

After a while.

“Status Window.”

[Artifact: Han Ji-won (Lv-2)

Nationality/Affiliation: South Korea/Support Party, Age: 39, Height/Weight: 176cm/84kg,

Agility: 3, Endurance: 3, Strength: 4, Stamina: 3, Intelligence: 2, Luck: 3,

I should focus on absorbing Gas Shards rather than Minerals from now on.

I know that the next buildings I can create after the Dracon Core are the Zergling Evolve Core, the Landing Core, and the Stargate, but if I use Gas Shards carelessly… Huh?

I hear strange noises from where the party members are in the back.

Muttering.

I walk towards where the party members are mining minerals, and something feels off.

I carefully walked next to the Mature Tower, observing the situation.

Before I knew it, Aria Party and Jjangssen Party members had arrived at the Mature Tower and were watching the party members who were mining minerals.

“…They must have lied about their Awakener rank to get in here. How can five people clear a Rank 8 dungeon? Does that make sense to you?”

That crazy bitch was spouting nonsense.

“Ugh, seriously, sis, why are you like this? It’s embarrassing. We signed the consent form before coming in.”

Gil-soo’s cousin was trying to stop the crazy bitch.

“That’s only valid if we cleared it fairly, but this situation isn’t fair. Look at that. One party is going to monopolize all the mineral clear rewards? Then why did we even come here?”

People are different before and after going to the bathroom, and this is exactly that situation [referring to a change in attitude or behavior].

How can I screw over that crazy bitch… Ah!

I slowly backed away and returned to where the gas was.

After a while.

I walked out leisurely, with my neck stiff with pride, as if I didn’t know what was going on around me, and shouted loudly.

“Did everyone mine all the minerals? Let’s go out, shower, and start exploring restaurants!”

As I walked out in front of the Mature Tower, everyone’s attention was focused on me.

“Hyung-nim [term of respect for an older male], I think we can mine everything in about 20 minutes… but someone keeps delaying us.”

“Why? What happened?” I asked back, pretending not to know.

Of course, Han-deuk’s eyes were on that crazy bitch, and the crazy bitch, who met my eyes, hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and started spouting nonsense again.

“I’m sorry about what happened at the coffee shop, but I think this is too much. It’s not like only one team entered the dungeon.”

“What is?”

I use honorifics if the other person does.

If they speak informally, I do too.

“You’re the party leader, right? Just looking at what’s in front of us, it seems like there are more rewards than clearing a Rank 9 dungeon. If you mined minerals before we arrived, there would be even more, right? Are you going to monopolize all of that?”

“…Han-deuk-ah. How much is it in total?”

I turned my head towards Han-deuk and blinked my left eye for a moment.

“…I don’t know exactly, but we’ve mined about 100kg so far.”

“Heok!”

“O-One hundred?”

“T-Then if we mine all of that!”

“Oh my….”

Since 1kg of mineral chunks is about 3.5 million won [Korean currency] after taxes and fees, 100kg is about 350 million won.

Moreover, even if I roughly look at the minerals that haven’t been mined yet, it seems like there are more than 50kg.

In other words, we’ve mined about two-thirds of the minerals so far.

Some of the bulging minerals look like they weigh more than 10kg each, so they might be worth a little more.

The larger the size of the mineral, the more valuable it is.

So, clearing the Haeundae Rank 8 Bio Dungeon in one go would bring in close to 600 million won.

Moreover, I haven’t even looked for items yet. Well, the drop rate is extremely low, so I don’t need to bother looking… I probably won’t find anything.

“See! If we hadn’t met the minimum number of people to enter the dungeon, where would you have seen these rewards? Of course, we need a fair distribution of rewards.”

“You signed a consent form to distribute rewards based on 100% contribution, right?”

“T-That’s only when we clear the dungeon normally!”

She’s finally getting to the point.

“What does it mean to clear the dungeon normally?”

“Ugh… Of course, warrior-type Awakeners, mage-type Awakeners, and healer-type Awakeners have to step up and clear it….”

“We did that, though?”

“Huh?”

“We did that.”

“W-What are you talking about! We all saw you running with dozens of Zerglings in front! Where are you lying!”

“Sis! Stop it!”

“Get out of here. Do you think this is a joke?”

Yeah. It looks like a joke, you crazy bitch!

Let’s see how far you’ll go.

What are you even thinking being so reckless? Ah… you don’t have any thoughts, do you?

“Then, what should I do?”

“O-Oppa!”

“What do you mean by that!”

The party members, who didn’t exchange glances with me, were horrified.

At least Gil-soo is looking at me without saying anything.

“Now you’re talking. You said you’re Han Ji-won, the party leader of the Support Party, right? Let’s do this. As before, 30% of the clear rewards will be divided according to the number of people who entered the dungeon, and the rest….”

“Divide by the number of people?”

“That’s right. Originally, when clearing dungeons, we take into account the unfairness based on job….”

“Let’s do that.”

“…R-Really? You’re easy to talk to. Unlike what I saw, you have experience….”

I don’t have any reason to listen to whatever that crazy bitch is babbling about.

I looked around at the Aria Party and Jjangssen Party members and shouted loudly while looking around them.

“Summon all Zerglings!”

[Ding! Summons 80 Zerglings.]

“Summon all Probes!”

[Ding! Summons 101 Probes.]

“Summon all Dracons!”

[Ding! Summons 41 Dracons.]

“Kyaaak!”

“Wh-What is this!”

“It’s PK [Player Killing]! Everyone, prepare for battle!”

“What are you doing!”

“O-Oppa!”

“H-Hyung-nim! PK is absolutely not allowed. After clearing, the management office….”

Everyone was in an uproar.

Well, 80 Zerglings were standing proudly in front of me, and 41 Dracons were positioned in the rear, so even with about 10 Rank 9 Awakeners, they couldn’t handle it.

Frankly, if they were surrounded and attacked from the front and back, no Awakener could survive here. That’s why they’re making a fuss about PK and stuff.

But Han-deuk and Ji-hye seem to misunderstand this situation.

They thought I was really going to PK… geez.

If casualties occur when clearing all Rank dungeons, the clearing entry is suspended, and the dungeon management office investigates the cause.

Whether the damage was caused by a battle with dungeon units or by PK, a fight between Awakeners.

PK, also known as Play Kill, means that an Awakener killed another Awakener, and if it is found to be true, regardless of the scale and number of people, whether it is individual vs. individual, individual vs. group, or group vs. group, it is unconditionally subject to criminal punishment.

Well, you might think it doesn’t matter if you don’t get caught, but the world isn’t that easy.

Our party members are actual witnesses, and 18 Awakeners have registered with the management office by filling out an application to clear the Rank 8 dungeon, so how will that computer system be processed, and are you going to kill all these people? That’s it. There’s no point in explaining it.

Anyway, PK is not allowed. Absolutely not. Especially inside the dungeon.

Ah… maybe. If you quietly kill one or two people from the group and keep your mouths shut, you might not get caught… no, that’s not possible. I don’t know.

Anyway, they thought I was going to PK? Huh….

Do I look like that kind of crazy bastard?

Am I going to become a crazy bastard to deal with a crazy bitch?

Warrior-type members of the Aria Party and Jjangssen Party took out weapons and shields, mage-type members started casting attack magic spells, and healer or priest-type members started chanting healing or blessing magic spells.

They seem to be seriously misunderstanding… huh? They’re trying to manifest magic.

“What are you doing! Is this PK?”

“Y-You’re doing it now!”

“What are you talking about! You said to divide by the number of people. If we’re going to divide by the number of people who entered the dungeon, let’s divide. Now, count. The number of people who entered the dungeon!”

Everyone just stared blankly at me, and no one stepped forward.

Did they not understand the situation, or are they just stupid?

Maybe both?

“Can’t count? Then I’ll tell you. There are 80 Zerglings, 101 Probes, and 41 Dracons, and our team has 5 people, Aria has 7 people, and Jjangssen has 6 people, so the total number of people is… um… Ji-hye-ah! Calculate!”

“240 people.”

“Yes. 240 people! Then, if we add up the minerals we’re mining now and assume the total amount of clear rewards is 150kg, and 30% of that, 45kg, is divided by 240… Ji-hye-ah~.”

Mages are faster at calculating.

I can’t do mental arithmetic with my stiff head.

“Hehe… It’s about 0.188kg per person. Oppa.”

“It’s 188g per person. Well, let’s just give it to them. Guys!”

“Yes. Oppa.”

“Yes. Hyung-nim.”

“Everyone, give them 188g of minerals each. Ah! Just give them 200g each generously.”

Only then did everyone come to their senses, or maybe they realized it wasn’t PK. Some sighed, and some blushed.

“What are you doing!”

As expected, the crazy bitch couldn’t stay still.

“Why? You said to divide by the number of people?”

“That, that, that’s not an Awakener! Why are you counting weird things as clear members!”

The crazy bitch pointed at the Zerglings, Dracons, and Probes with her hands and went crazy.

“Weird things! They cleared it. Zerglings and Dracons destroyed the Mature Tower, broke the Spine, chopped up Evolved Zerglings, tore apart the Lair, and sliced Hydralisks, and Probes lured them. By the way, what did you do?”

“…….”

“You said to divide the dungeon clear rewards by the number of people! They entered the dungeon and did their part, and they’re still here after clearing, so we have to count them as members. Right?”

“…Ugh!”

The crazy bitch couldn’t control her anger and stomped her feet, messed up her hair with her hands, and gnawed on her nails. The party leader of the Aria Party, who I saw before entering the dungeon, now had his shoulders slumped powerlessly and started walking towards the dungeon entrance with his party members.

The crazy bitch didn’t stop glaring at me until she was dragged away by her party members.

She seemed to be cursing me with all sorts of curses in her mind.

She poured out all kinds of swear words that I could understand just by looking at her mouth.

Why does she live like that?

And why was the party leader of the crazy bitch’s party silent until now?

I wonder if the party leader is in cahoots with the crazy bitch.

One of the Aria Party members, who was walking towards the dungeon entrance, hesitated for a moment, then came back and exchanged some words with Gil-soo.

Was his cousin named Gi-soo?
