==[Lee Jiwon currently holds 387,758,874 points on the Judge’s Continent.

You are the fourth deva or deity of all Otadolon-completed Worlds to surpass 100,000,000 points.

You have reached the pinnacle form.]==

The message didn’t have anything to do with dungeons, and was like the one I received back when I had my points calculated at the giant Don Gate. Another message soon appeared.

==[You will be granted the special bonus, Survival!

Survive the longest after being the first to enter a dungeon. But remember that you only have one life. You will be allowed to give up, so make sure to not get too greedy and needlessly throw your life away.

The dungeon will not yield EXP, golden rings, or item drops during this time. You will be granted your reward after you give up, or after clearing the boss room. The points you have earned during Survival will be converted into EXP, Stat points, skill points, or golden rings. However, giving up will end Survival and only half the points you have earned will be converted.]==

“Survival?” What was supposed to be a bonus was more like a quest, but wasn’t an official quest, and not like any other quest I’d ever seen.

==[The Ogre Dungeon will now be altered for Lee Jiwon’s Survival.

The 1,674 people currently in the Ogre Dungeon will now be forcibly removed outside the dungeon.

All dungeon monsters will grow stronger as time passes.

All dungeon monsters will notice Lee Jiwon sooner as time passes.

No dungeon monsters will respawn after being killed.

While spending more time in the dungeon during Survival is an important method to gain points, killing as many monsters as possible is a great way to gain more points.

Lee Jiwon’s Survival in the Ogre Dungeon will now begin. Additional points will be awarded. An additional 100% will be added to the final sum of points.]==

“Huh…” For a second there, I wondered if it was the right decision to come to a high-grade dungeon. If I could clear it and get the 100% bonus points, then it’d definitely be the right decision, but if I somehow had to give up midway, I’d be losing out on some serious goodies.

I smiled. I could Make It Be the right decision. I turned to a massive Ogre lumbering around. The message clearly stated that killing as many monsters as possible was a great way to get points.

“Judge’s Gavel!” I said as I charged at the Ogre.

The three-meter tall Ogre noticed me pretty quickly and barreled its massive body towards me. It was a pretty intimidating sight.

“But you’re too slow!” Well, it did move fast compared to how big it was, but my AGI was well over 38,000. Hell, my AGI had more points alone than possibly 90% of the people on this Continent had in total. Before the Ogre could even swing its giant club, I jumped up close to it and stabbed it in the chest.

“Graah!” The Ogre bellowed in pain as the massive, red hammer slammed down atop of its head. It died before it fell to its knees.

“Now that I’m off to a great start, it’s time to have some fun.” I charged at another Ogre immediately. It did react faster than most high-grade dungeon monsters, but my spear pierced its heart faster than it could raise its club to attack. It only took two critical hits to kill this one.

I continued to hunt like that for a while. As the Ogres fell before me easily after only few attacks, I was beginning to realize that this was easier than I first thought. I had never been to this dungeon before and I was doing better than when I hunted in high-grade dungeons back on Earth. Then again, I was a lot stronger now.

To be honest, that didn’t sit well with me. Before I had come to the Continent, I had noticed that my growth rate had hit a plateau. Yeah, it was still faster than others of my level, but it had definitely slowed down in the past several months. Here, I was growing stronger at a faster rate now, gaining more levels at once and being able to earn more Stat points at a time. That scared me. That only meant that I was going to plateau again, and I didn’t want that. I wanted to keep growing stronger faster. I didn’t want to stop growing stronger.

“That only means that I’ve got to clear this event perfectly if I don’t want that to happen!”

Thirty days after Lee Jiwon had entered the Ogre Dungeon…

“Whew…” Dunia had crossed into Earth’s territory and headed to where Lee Jiwon was. How? He just did. Dunia had the ability to know whatever he wanted to know. Well, to be exact, he couldn’t know everything. He could only know things up to a certain point in time, and they were revealed to him in a vague way. Things that were out of his ability’s reach were kept unknown to him forever. But that was enough for Dunia to cause trouble, especially with his ruby-red eyes, which seeded a deep trust into his targets’ hearts.

Dunia set out to find out about Lee Jiwon as much as he could. Thankfully, there were countless videos that captured his image. Had the two been on the same side, Dunia would have had no qualms in calling Lee Jiwon a hero. But they were enemies and to Dunia, Lee Jiwon was a demon. Still, Dunia had spent ten days watching videos of Lee Jiwon over and over again. He burned Lee Jiwon’s image into his mind so that he could spot the demon in a crowd of a million people.

At first, Dunia didn’t want to have to go to this extent, but when he watched the first video, he quickly realized that he had no choice. The more his red eyes examined his target, the more he could learn about him. After Dunia memorized Lee Jiwon’s appearance and form, he wished to learn Lee Jiwon’s location. With one simple wish, Dunia learned that Lee Jiwon was currently in a high-grade dungeon located at the westernmost point of Section 35. Dunia set out right away, excited to make friends with someone that strong.

==[Lee Jiwon is currently in the middle of a special event in this high-grade dungeon. No one else is currently allowed inside this dungeon.]==

Dunia was surprised. He never heard about a dungeon that only allowed one person inside at a time. All dungeons were supposed to be open to the public. He was actually jealous. Lee Jiwon was given a special event and had an entire dungeon altered specifically for him! Out of jealousy, Dunia tried everything he could to get inside, but his efforts were in vain. Dunia wanted to become friends with Lee Jiwon even more!

But now, Dunia had been waiting for Lee Jiwon to come out for thirty days! “Fuck! Why won’t he come out already?” Dunia kicked the outer dungeon wall in anger. He had never had to wait on someone this long before.

“And why can’t I learn more about him?” Dunia didn’t just sit on his hands while waiting for Lee Jiwon. He tried to use his ability to learn more about Lee Jiwon, but nothing came up. This wasn’t the first time this had happened, so Dunia didn’t mind it at first. His ability only served to sate his curiosity, not to look into the future. It was why he couldn’t prevent Claudia from stealing away all of his time.

If Dunia couldn’t learn anything specific about Lee Jiwon, then he could just use roundabout ways to find out what he wanted. If he couldn’t learn Lee Jiwon’s age, then he could wish to learn about his birthday, or even just the year he was born. “But why can’t I find out anything about him?” Dunia could learn indirect information about Lee Jiwon, like his location. But any direct or personal information about Lee Jiwon was unobtainable. He couldn’t find out Lee Jiwon’s level, the items he used, or even any skills he knew. It was like that information was covered by some sort of veil.

“No… it’s something more than just a veil.” It was like Lee Jiwon’s personal information was protected by a thick, steel wall. Every time Dunia used his ability, he kept running into that wall headfirst, frustrating and angering him each time. But Dunia didn’t give up and kept waiting. “Ha…fine. I’ll make it so that he has no choice but to come out, even if it means I have to cause trouble like Claudia wants me to!”

Inside the Ogre Dungeon on the fourth floor…

“Grah!”

After wiping out a horde of about fifty Ogres, I plopped down on the floor. I wasn’t tired, but I knew that it was a good idea to rest whenever I could. “But it’s tough to even find time to rest after a month in here.” This was the first time I had experienced monsters actually moving to other floors. At first, I had to go looking around for Ogres to kill so that I could get as many points as possible. When I reached the second floor, I had noticed Ogres of different classes were starting to appear. When I reached the third floor, I realized that those Ogres had come from the third floor, looking for me.

“I’m just about done with the fourth floor…it might take me another month or so before I reach the end. I hope nothing happens in the meantime.” Thankfully, my Comm Link still worked fine here, and I had contacted my clan and let them know that I wouldn’t be home for at least a couple of months. They didn’t mind since I had done the same back on Earth. My mother did call every day, telling me to be careful each time.

I got up. I had rested long enough. “Okay. Time to get back at it again.” Like the message stated, the monsters were getting stronger as time went on. They didn’t double in strength or anything, but I was getting worried about the boss monster. If the monsters were getting stronger by one percent each day, it meant the boss monster was going to be a real pain in the ass to deal with. I was confident that I could beat it, but I didn’t want to get careless and end up failing after coming this far.
