Iâm still confused but he didnât care and proceeded to do what he wanted to.
I held my hand like a student who couldnât keep up with the class.
âWait.â
[What?]
âYouâre a vampire lord. I am an ordinary human being. How come you know me, and you have something to give to me, you said?â
[I opened the portal to meet you.]
âMeâŚ.?â
[Yes, I am a Delta agent. Iâm trying to send the message that Master had said to me. Iâm glad that I can do less hard work because you showed yourself directly in front of me.]
Delta.
That is the name of the system in the manual. I thought it was just a model name, but is it something supernatural that I didnât know?
Whatâs going onâŚ. Even I canât handle this situation.
Gulp.
âFine. Give me what you want to give. â
[Take this.]
Ting.
Something flashing in the hands of the vampire lord, it flies and falls into my hand. When I checked what is it, I had no choice but to doubt what I am seeing.
On my hand itâs a USB, nothing else. Itâs an 8-gigabyte USB.
âA vampire⌠uses USB?â
[Is there a problem?]
âNothing, but⌠I mean⌠this needs a computer, isnât it? I donât think thereâs a computer shop here.â
[He chose the easiest way of communicating information to you. He said it was the easiest way to deliver massive data.]
âYeah⌠of course, USB is easy.â
Itâs only an 8 gigabyte USB but it can be used without any problem if it meets only the specification. In fact, the level of technology in the world has been stopped 50 years before the monsters appeared. Even now, the capacity of USB in general is limited to about 500 gigabytes.
[Since I did all I need to do, Iâll go back now.]
âWait⌠wait a minute.â
[What is it?]
âIs this all? Youâre not going to invade or something? â
[Do you want me to invade, then?]
âNo⌠no, thatâs not what I mean⌠â
I feel uneasy since I donât know how strong this guy is. I think it will not be easy to win against him.
[We will meet again, soon. Donât hurry.]
âWhat are you talking about ⌠â
[Letâs both go.]
âHuh?â As the vampire lord paused, his body began to be sucked into the portal.
Kelby stuck his claws on the ground so he cannot be sucked inside the portal too. Despite doing that, however, one man, one dog, and a dancing sword were sucked into the red portal.
We came out from the red dungeon.
âOh, you came out.â
I heard Soo Ahâs voice. I looked around, itâs still night.
I grabbed Soo Ahâs hand and she helped me got up from sitting on the ground and shaved off the dirt on my pants.
âHow much time have already passed?â
âHmmâŚ. About an hour? â
âAn hour? Here? I think 3 hours passed, though.â
The time difference between the earth and that red dungeon which is called an illusion is extremely severe. Even if itâs not 3 hours, then certainly at least 2 hours have passed.
Anyway, itâs quiet here.
âHow about the police officers?â
âThey came and just left. You entered the dungeon and the entrance disappeared. The dungeon management team did not come either. They think itâs fake.â
âWell ⌠These days, they will not have enough manpower. â
The number of dungeons managed by the dungeon management team has increased thatâs why the need of manpower has increased too. In that case, all of the people in the West Sea have entered the management team. If the police didnât find the traces of the dungeon, then thereâs no reason for them to come.
Oh right, thereâs one more to check.
âDidnât you saw a vampire came out?â I asked Soo Ah.
But someone answered.
âIâm hiding nearby. The police came too but Iâm afraid they will have me. You know, I look handsome.â
He jumped close to me. Itâs Edward.
He spoke right next to me.
âItâs a relief that youâre alive. Did you really destroy the portal?â
âNo, not like that.â
âWell then, sooner or later the clans will crossover.â
âI think they will not.â
ââŚ. I donât understand. Can I ask for some explanation?â
I just simply explained what happened inside the dungeon.
Soo Ah, Yeonkyoung and Edward are surprised. Of course their surprised points are different.
âYou used the vehicle, you said? Thatâs a little bit âŚ..â
-Soo Ah
âIs Kelby okay?â
-Yeonkyoung
âDid you mean the lor⌠the lord wants to meet you?â
-Edward
No one talks about the most important, the USB.
âI checked and the vehicle would be repaired with an investment of ore, and I put Kelby in the list of items before leaving. And the lord âŚ. I donât know. Letâs go home and find out. â
Wait⌠I wonder what will I do with Edward. First, he is a monster who speak and doesnât particularly harm human beings. Thereâs no way I can kill him.
Oh wait⌠Thereâs something I need to check before that.
âDonât you drink human blood?â
âThereâs no human being on where I lived.â
âHmm? Then what do you drink?â
âI only drink the blood of the slaves.â
âYou mean monsters?â
Edward nodded.
***
We came home and I turned on my computer. I was most interested in checking the USB.
âAhooo⌠Sunbeh oppa, canât you just buy an air conditioner now? Iâm going to die because of hotness.â
âIs it hot? Iâm cold though.â
âIf youâre not feeling hot now then youâre not a human.â
âDoesnât a vampire live in heat?â
There were four people in this narrow room. I think I should move to a bigger house soon.
Itâs annoying to clean a big house though, but if Soo Ah has a conscience, she will help cleaning up
âEverybody keep quiet. I have to check this out.â
âBut if itâs only 8 gig then you can only put one or two movies, then thatâs it. Whatâs inside that USB?â
âI still donât know. This guy called the Deltaâs master want to give me something, I guess itâs like an information. If itâs a text file, it can contain huge amount of information even if itâs only 8 gigabytes.â
However, I am worried if the files in this USB are compatible with the format I have in my computer.
When the computer boots, I plugged the USB. Immediately a message appeared indicating that an external storage device is connected.
-Would you like to browse the new drive?
A familiar OS is displayed. When I clicked OK, a folder is opened. There was an application called âINSTALL.EXEâ with unidentified files.
âThis is an⌠Installation program. â
âClick on it.â
âDo you know what is this? What would you do if thereâs a virus? â
âYou can format it.â
âThere are a lot of precious files in this computer ⌠â
âWhat files?â
Soo Ah asked me with her eyes shining brightly and looking suspicious to me. I tried to avoid her eyes and spoke.
âDungeon data or ⌠Items or âŚ.. â
âPorn videos, right?â
âI donât watch those kind of videos.â
âA healthy adult man can watch that kind of videos. Donât be shy and make a backup storage for those. Iâll wait. â
âIâm not.â
I casually double-clicked the install icon. Then the installation program worked. There was no need to press OK a few times or specify a folder to install normally.
The fans of the computer began to pound violently. This is the first time since I bought this computer.
âAish. Stupid computer.â Soo Ah complained.
âHey, this is 200,000 won.â
âChange it to the latest version. You have a lot of money. â
âDonât talk like youâre the one whoâll buy.â
âYeah. Iâll buy it for you as a birthday present. When is your birthday?â
âIt already happened. About a month ago.â
âGosh. Then we already met that time. Why didnât you tell me?â
âWhat will you do if I told you? Besides itâs just a birthday. Whatâs special by simply getting older.â
Since I went to Seoul, Iâm used to being alone during my birthdays so I really donât care about it.
âThatâs not right. Iâll buy you a computer as a gift. â
âNo thanks. Itâs expensive. This computer is enough. â
I knocked at the computer, making a loud noise.
I saved the money and bought it during my porterâs life. Itâs still working very well these past few years so I still havenât replaced it yet.
The installation was soon done. The monitor suddenly flashes, and something titled [Mystics Dungeon] comes up on the screen.
âHmmâŚ. Itâs like ⌠â
âI think itâs a game.â Soo Ah said.
Suddenly, a large map surfaced throughout the screen.
Itâs not a map with contour lines that we are familiar with but itâs a world map. And on the map there are blue dots. The map can zoom in and out.
I dragged the mouse and looked at the map of Korea. When I zoomed in on the screen, I could see the position of the blue dots more accurately. What is unusual is that the West Sea is marked on the map and thereâs no blue dot.
Why is there no dot in the West Sea? I thought that this might indicate the location of the dungeon.
I donât know all the dungeons over level 5, but the location of the blue dots and the location of the dungeons I knew were similar.
Does this program tell you the location of the dungeon around the world? Of course this is an amazing program but itâs so easy to understand this without figuring it out so hard.
Now the dungeon information is also displayed on the Internet map. I right-clicked the mouse on the map.
A pop-up window appeared. There are choices.
I chose to create a dungeon as if it was something I was hired to do. Then a level 1 dungeon and a point to activate that dungeon blinked. I chose the nearest Ansan dungeon here. It was the place where Song Hansol had trouble and where Soo Ah was relieved.
âWhat are you doing?â
âAh⌠.. just wondering.â
Soo Ahâs question stuck on my head. What am I doing?
I wonder if it would really be a program to create a dungeon. No matter what program the vampire lord gave me, I donât think I would pass the ability to manipulate it at will.
