Yang Joo Hyuk couldnât help but exclaim in surprise at Jang Yoolâs reply.
âWasnât he just level 120?â
Although he couldnât remember exactly, he recalled hearing that Soo Hyukâs level was around 120 this morning. But now it was 167?
âDid he go to a high-level hunting area?â
This wasnât impossible. Yang Joo Hyuk knew Soo Hyukâs abilities very well. With his stats, he could manage high-level monsters well. In other words, Soo Hyuk could get experience unthinkable for those around his level easily.
âYes, heâs hunting level 200~250 ogres on the Crimson Mountains. The twin headed ogres as well.â
âWhy did he go there?â
âHe has a quest where he has to find a named triple headed ogre. He looks like heâs hunting on the way.â
* * *
Soo Hyuk was silent.
â11:57.â
His log out time had come.
âJust,â
Soo Hyuk frowned as he stared at the system time.
âWhere is it?â
He had roamed around the mountain range in search for the triple headed ogre, Orem. However, he couldnât find him in the end. All he found were normal ogres and twin headed ogres.
Of course, he hadnât searched the entire mountain range yet. The Crimson Mountains were wide, so he had only managed to search a portion of it.
âA promotion quest is a promotion quest.â
He had thought that he would breeze through this quest, but it was a B-rank promotion quest after all. Soo Hyuk opened his quest window.
[King of the Mountain Range]
The reason ogres of the Crimson Mountains are moving in groups, is because a king has appeared on the mountain range. Find out who the king is and report to the agency!
[Triple Head Ogre Orem: 0 / 1 ]
[Quest Reward: B-Rank Promotion]
[The quest will be considered complete once Orem is found.]
[The quest will be cancelled on death. Note: if the cause of death is from Orem, the quest penalty will not apply.]
Soo Hyuk looked at the quest and thought,
âHe didnât get killed already, right?â
He wondered if the boss was killed by others already. Soo Hyuk had seen people that only hunted boss monsters before. It was definitely a possibility.
âIf it wasâŚâ
What if Orem was already dead?
âKuuâŚâ
It was difficult.
âI canât just cancel the quest.â
The penalty caught his mind. And also, even if he did get another promotion quest, it didnât guarantee that he would save more time. Soo Hyuk scrolled down further and checked Romianâs quest, âPreparation Timeâ.
[Preparation Time]
Romian hadnât expected that you would bring back the key so quickly. He thought that you wouldâve taken at least one week. Also, Romian himself needs one week, as his body is still injured and he needs to prepare for the exploration. Find Romian again after one week!
7 days later, Soo Hyuk had to go to Romian. Would he be able to complete this quest before then?
âYes, 7 days should be enough.â
7 days was enough to scour through the mountain range. He would be able to find out if somebody was hunting Orem, or if he was just searching in the wrong place.
Soo Hyuk closed his quest window and opened his character window. Although he couldnât find Orem, he hadnât just wasted his time. There was some gain.

âIt rose a lot.â
Soo Hyukâs level was approaching 170 now.
âWell, I donât even know how much Iâve hunted now.â
While searching for Orem, Soo Hyuk had killed every ogre on sight, whether they were normal or twin headed. It would be weird if he didnât level up after all that.
After checking his character, Soo Hyuk closed his character window then with a deep breath, logged out of Pangea. Exiting the capsule, he sat in front of his computer and started browsing through the Pangea official homepage. His searches were things like âCrimson Mountainsâ, âTripled Headed Ogreâ, âOremâ, etc.However, nothing came up. More precisely, there some articles, but none of them were what he was looking for.
Failing to find the information he wanted, Soo Hyuk turned off the computer and stood up from his seat. He then walked towards a bookshelf and while pulling out a book, he thought,
âI want to go there quickly.â
He wanted to enter the Hadrac Library even one second faster.
âHow much longer will it to become A-rank?â
He wasnât even sure how long the B-rank promotion quest would take. Then how long would the A-rank quests take? Soo Hyuk, who had arrived at his desk, stopped thinking about his quest and hungrily dived into the book.

-What?
The guild master of the Kain information guild, Kain, exclaimed in surprise.
âIs that true?â
Kain asked Aldon.
âYes, itâs true.â
Aldon replied with a nod.
âCrazy, then that means heâs already around high A-rank, not B-rank.â
Kain muttered in response to Aldonâs answer. If Aldonâs words were true, then he would be not B-rank, but an A-rank and in the higher class as well.
âI personally think that heâs over A-rank. Because the monsters were all killed in an incredibly short amount of time.â
Aldon commented when he heard Kainâs muttering. The ogres on the Crimson Mountains were particularly strong, and they moved in groups.
But they had all been annihilated, normal and twin headed ogres alike. If it had happened over a long period time, then he would agree with Kain that he was an A-rank. However, he knew that a slow hunt wasnât what had taken place. He had seen the corpses himself after all.
The massacre had happened quickly, explosively. Knowing this, Aldon believed that So Hyuk should be beyond an A-rank.
âHe used poison magic?â
âYes, although I didnât see it myself, he had definitely used fire and poison magic. Those two.â
He hadnât seen the actual massacre, but he could figure out this much from the remains of the slaughter.
âIf it was poison magicâŚâ
Kain mumbled at Aldonâs reply.
âRhino could know about him.â
They didnât know how proficient he was with fire magic, but he did with poison magic. If it could kill even twin headed ogres, than he wouldnât have been normal, so there was a high chance that Rhino, deputy head of the Hadrac Branch of Tower of Poison, would know him.
âShould we check?â
Thinking that Kainâs murmuring had some sense, Aldon asked Kain.
âAlthough weâll have to spend a bit of gold, heâll definitely tell us.â
Normal people didnât know this, but his close acquaintances certainly did. Just how greedy Rhino was. And of course, an information guild like them knew this as well.
ââŚâ
Kain fell in thought at Aldonâs words. But it didnât last long.
âOkay, no.â
ââŚ?â
Aldon couldnât help but doubt Kainâs words. Kain had just agreed then disagreed after all. However, his confusion was clear by Kainâs next words.
âIâll find out myself.â
Rhino valued âmoneyâ, but ârankâ was also important. He wouldnât ignore Aldon, but from Rhinoâs perspective, Aldon was just one of their many guild members. So, there was a possibility that he wouldnât hand the information to Aldon.
âGood work.â
Kain said to Aldon before rising from his seat.
* * *
âHooâŚâ
Soo Hyuk breathed out deeply. Around him, were countless ogre bodies all sown on the messy ground. After staring at the bodies, Soo Hyuk checked the time.
â11:54âŚâ
It was time to log out.
âI didnât find Orem today either.â
He had scoured the crimson mountain range for the triple headed ogre, but he couldnât find him in the end.
âWhat if I really donât find him in 7 days?â
Soo Hyuk had originally thought 7 days would be enough. No, truthfully speaking, he had thought 3 days would be all that was needed, but after today, his thinking had changed. He now felt that 7 days was too tight.
âLevel ups also feel slower.â
Soo Hyuk opened his character window.

His level was approaching the ogresâ levels and as a result, his levelling speed was dropping. He had hunting all day, yet his level had only risen by 13.
âWell, itâs still faster than normal class users.â
Even if his levelling speed had dropped, his speed was by no means slow. Soo Hyuk knew that fact very well.
â2, 3 days then level 200?â
Although his levelling speed was continuously dropping, he still felt that reaching level 200 in 2 or 3 days was possible.
âThen what door should I open this time?â
Level 200 meant the 3 <sup>rd</sup> Door. His first had been fire, then poison as his second. So what should be his third?
Soo Hyuk closed his character window while in thought, then looked around him before logging out. After exiting the capsule, Soo Hyuk didnât go on his computer.
He had nothing to research. So, instead of going on his computer, Soo Hyuk pulled out a book and began to read at his desk.
The moment he saw the tiny letter on the book, Soo Hyukâs face burst into a bright smile. He had been spending more and more time in Pangea recently, but he couldnât read many books there. So what was this? Now, whenever he read a book, he felt more joy than every before.
Shuok.
With a smile still on his face, Soo Hyuk finally finished the last page and closed the book, satisfied. He then checked the time.
âHmm?â

Soo Hyuk raised his eyebrow at the clock on the wall.
âWas it because the book was shorter than before?â
There was still time left before his bedtime.
âLooks like I can read one more book.â
He usually only read one book at night because anymore would mess up his schedule on the next day. Pleasantly surprised, Soo Hyuk walked towards his bookshelf again.
