â 1 Wolf Kingâs Pelt
â 1 Wolf Kingâs Fang
â 1 Wolf Kingâs Gauntlets
â 1 Karuâs Necklace
âNice!â
Fortunately, the Wolf King had dropped Karuâs Necklace. Soo Hyuk collected the drops and opened his quest tab.
When he scrolled down to the Karuâs Heirloom quest, he could see the âCompleteâ button.
âI wish the other inheritance quests were this easy.â
Soo Hyuk currently had many other specials quests in his quest tab, but they were too difficult for him to complete at this point in time. While wishing that they were easier, Soo Hyuk completed the quest.
[You have completed the Special Quest â Karuâs Heirloom]
[Rewards Received.]
Soo Hyuk opened his inventory after he checked the message window. He wanted to know what the rewards were.
ââŚâŚâ
Soo Hyuk made a puzzled expression when he opened his inventory.
âWhat? A map?â
The reason for his puzzlement was because the reward was a map. Soo Hyuk checked the map description.
[<Heroic>Karuâs Treasure Map]
Soo Hyuk was filled with anxiety when he checked the description. It was too vague.
âHeroic?â
Moreover, the rarity of the map was heroic. Not normal or rare, it was heroic. It was the next best rarity after God and Legend!
âNo, a map is still a map.â
Soo Hyuk pulled the map out, while trying to suppress his nervousness.
ââŚâŚ?â
When he opened the map, again his nervous expression was completely replaced with puzzlement.
âMatab Library?â
The reason Soo Hyuk was puzzled, was because the words âMatab Libraryâ were written on the top of the map. Karuâs Treasure Map showed the interior of the Matab Library.
âHuh, is there a treasure hidden in the library?â
A library? It was too unexpected, even for Soo Hyuk. He then spotted a red dot which marked the location of the treasure.
âThis is a bookshelfâŚâŚâ
The red dot was indicating a specific bookshelf. Why was it pointing at a bookshelf, which had nothing but books?
ââŚâŚNo.â
Soo Hyuk tilted his head as he thought,
âIt probably wonât be another quest.â
It wouldnât be another quest. There might be something hidden within.
âWhat should I do?â
Soo Hyuk thought as he put away the map.
âShould I go to the library now? Or should I keep hunting?â
According to his schedule, it was still time to hunt.
âWell, Iâll go there anyway. Letâs keep hunting for now.â
Soo Hyuk decided. He was planning to go to the library after hunting anyway, but he met his next problem after deciding to keep hunting.
âWhat should I hunt next?â
His problem was that he couldnât decide what to hunt next. He had no reason to hunt wolves anymore, as he had already completed the quest related to them.
âLetâs skip the bears.â
Normally, players at Soo Hyukâs level would hunt bears, but from looking at the number of players crowding the entrance, he could already tell that it would be a waste of time.
âGoblins? Treants?â
He had two options.The Goblin Fields in the Northern Hunting Grounds, or the Bloodless Forest west of the wolf territory. The Goblin Fields had monsters around level 20~40 and the Bloodless Forest had monsters around level 30~50.
âLetâs just go to the Bloodless Forest, since itâs closer and the trees are weak to fire.â
After making up his mind, Soo Hyuk made his way out of the wolf forest. His destination was the home of the Treants, the âBloodless Forestâ.
Treant Habitat, The Bloodless Forest.
Monsters around level 30~50 inhabited the Bloodless Forest. They wereâŚ
â GraaahhhâŚâŚ.Raauuuggghhhh~
The Screaming Ironbarks, a zombie tree with screaming leaves andâŚ
Clang! Clang!
The Bloodless Treants. Using their numerous whiplike branches and enormous mouths with deadly precision, they bullied players into submission. . Those were the two species of monster in the Bloodless Forest.
âFlame Dance.â
Soo Hyuk cast Flame Dance at the steadily advancing trees and a small ball of fire flew towards a Screaming Ironwood.
The Ironwood was instantly reduced to ashes and disappeared. The little fireball then reappeared and shot towards the Bloodless Treant. Like the Screaming Ironwood, the Bloodless Treant was incinerated in less than 3 seconds.
[Level Up!]
After the Bloodless Treant was killed a message window appeared. It was a level up notice. Soo Hyuk collected the drop items and opened his status window.
Occupation: Archmageâs Descendant
Level: 31 Â Â Experience: 1%
Health : 8600 Â Â Mana: 36780
Satiation: 51%
Strength: 20 Â Â Agility: 25(+6)
Stamina: 164 Â Â Wisdom: 1840
Bonus Stat Points: 5
When Soo Hyuk had just completed âKaruâs Heirloomâ and first entered the Bloodless Forest, he had only reached level 18.
âItâs really fast.â
A day hadnât even passed since then and Soo Hyuk was already level 31. Besides, wasnât his job the Archmageâs Descendant, which required five times more experience to level up? This speed couldnât be compared to his leveling speed while he was hunting wolves.
âIsnât it obvious though?â
The difference between treants and the wolves was like heaven and earth. This included their levels and the amount of experience they gave. Soo Hyuk assigned all his stat points into stamina and closed his status window.
âIf only I knew that it was this easy earlierâŚâŚâ
Players didnât usually hunt wolves because they were difficult to hunt, but also because their drops were bad. This meant that there was no competition.
Was it because they were weak to fire? Hunting Ironwoods and Bloodless Treants was similar to hunting wolves. Rather, it was easier since treants didnât usually team up like wolves did. If he had known this earlier, he wouldâve entirely skipped wolves.
âYeah, my wisdom was high enough anyway.â
Soo Hyukâs wisdom didnât belong to someone at level 31. To get to Soo Hyuâs level of wisdom, one had to invest all their bonus stat points on wisdom, until level 360.
âI also have lots of health.â
Since he didnât need to invest any stat points into wisdom, he had assigned all of them into stamina. As a result, he had way more health than other Magicians.
âI need to have more confidence.â
(TL: This warped perceptionâŚ)
He needed to have more confidence in himself.
âIf my progress slows down, letâs immediately go to a higher-level area.â
His progress would slow sooner than later. He was going to head straight for higher-level areas when it did.
Of course, he would carefully choose what area he would go to. After all, he had to be able to hunt the monsters there.
His attack power was high enough, but the monstersâ attack power would rise as well. No matter how high his health was, it was still to the standard of a level 30. He could die from one mistake.
â Raaauuurrrghhh
A Screaming Ironbark appeared next to him and opened its mouth to swallow him.
âFireball.â
Soo Hyuk continued hunting.
â2 hours left. How many levels can I gain?â
He thought while burning down more treants.

Yang Joo Hyuk and Jang Yool conversed while staring at a monitor.
âThe Archmageâs Descendant deserves to be a top tier job. It needs five times more experience and yetâŚâŚâ
âYeahâŚâŚâ
The subject of the conversation was Soo Hyuk.
âWhy did he suddenly start hunting?â
Jang Yool couldnât understand. Why did Soo Hyuk suddenly start hunting?
âHe was cooped up in the library until now.â
Soo Hyuk hadnât bothered to learn any of his new skills previously.
âHe was reading like his life depended on it.â
For months he only read books. What had suddenly driven him to start hunting?
âHe didnât finish all the books either.â
They could understand if he left after finishing all the books in the Matab Library, but there were still a lot of books he hadnât read yet.
âAlthough we donât know the exact reason.â
Yang Joo Hyuk started. The reason Soo Hyuk, who looked like he started Pangea to read books, started hunting.
âIt probably has something to do with Pavian.â
They didnât know the exact reason why Soo Hyuk suddenly started hunting, but Jang Yoo Hyuk was sure that it had something to do with Pavian.
âSince heâs started hunting after he met him.â
Soo Hyuk had started hunting after he first met Pavian.
âPavian didnât give him a hunting quest though.â
Pavian had given Soo Hyuk a quest, but it was completely unrelated to hunting. All it required was for him to visit the Tower of Poison everyday for 30 days.
âIt should have something to do with Pavian.â
Jang Yool nodded at Yang Joo Hyukâs assumption.
âAh!â
Jang Yool suddenly exclaimed in surprise when he looked at the monitor again.
âHe leveled up againâŚâŚâ
The reason for his surprise was because Soo Hyuk had leveled up again.
âLevel 40 alreadyâŚâŚâ
Yang Joo Hyuk mumbled.
âEven the Hunting King isnât this fastâŚâŚâ
The Hunting King. A tester who used his prior in game experience to dominate other players.
Of course, he wasnât Rank 1. But if he had registered for the rankings when the game was first released, he wouldâve got Rank 1 without exception. But even the Hunting King didnât level as fast as Soo Hyuk.
âAt this rate, heâll reach level 100 soon.â
Jang Yool asked Yang Joo Hyuk.
âHe probably would.â
âThen he would unlock the second door, right?â
Jang Yool continued asking, after Yang Joo Hyuk nodded.
âWellâŚâŚâ
Yang Joo Hyuk tilted his head, unlike his last reaction.
âUnlocking doors becomes more difficult after the first one. Even if heâs the Archmageâs Descendant, he shouldnât be able to unlock it straight away.â
The first door had no requirements, but from the second door onwards, there were special quest which had to be completed to unlock more doors. They were also immensely difficult, even for the Archmageâs Descendant.
* * *
Soo Hyuk silently looked down at the map once more. In front of him was the bookshelf marked on the map.
âHahâŚâŚâ
He sighed deeply.
