Shelter Plunder War (1)

Agzag. Agzag.

The sound of something being eaten deliciously echoed through the dungeon.

Agzag. Agzag.

I was devouring Medusa's head deliciously with a fork.

I needed to move to the reward room, but this Medusa was more important than that.

Devouring this was also a reward and treasure for me.

Are you curious about Medusa's eating scene?

Hmm.

I'll edit it.

This is too brutal.

But let me tell you one thing: the snakes that are her hair.

These are surprisingly delicious.

If you ever have the chance to eat snakes next time, definitely roast them.

Strongly recommended.

Nice.

Medusa, with her insanely high level, and the special ability plus the ability to summon her... this would be a huge help in combat.

Wait, she's a summoned beast. If I look at her, she won't turn to stone, right?

I summoned her just to check.

Ah.

It seems my ability still isn't enough to summon Medusa.

Tsk.

I looked at the item Medusa had dropped.

Haha. Look at this?

Alcohol!

How long had I wanted to drink?

When I ate the orc, I craved a glass of soju. When I ate the goblin, I wanted a glass of wine. This goblet seemed like it would solve all that.

And along with it was the Golden Key.

After gathering the items, I thought about the title I had received here.

Oh. This is no joke.

A title that increases both attack and defense when hunting in dungeons.

The increase in attack and defense, regardless of the item change, was attractive enough.

Let's test the goblet...

Was I dragging things out too much outside?

At the words that it would disappear soon, I quickly put the goblet I had been testing into my inventory and headed toward the door glowing golden.

When I entered through the mind, what was waiting for me was the golden box I had been desperately looking for.

It wasn't just one golden box.

Two existed.

Perhaps they were rewards for the difficult difficulty.

‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠

But what if I enter without a ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠key?

In a situation without the golden box key, it seemed like I would have to suffer every kind of hardship and still not be able to open the box.

Let's see.

I took the Golden Key from my inventory and tried putting it in the box.

Click.

At the same time, the box began to open.

Twinkle. Twinkle.

One pure white crystal shining inside.

Is this what those guys were talking about?

It was clearly something that could create a guild, as mentioned in the golden box.

Is it the same here?

Another golden box.

Click.

Eh? This is different.

What looked like a ticket inside was a single sheet of paper.

Plunder ticket.

The description sounded like you could steal a shelter formed by others.

Now I understood why they were saying that.

Will this work?

After finishing the post on the strategy board, I posted this article.

Why did I post this article?

Rank 1 reward - You can post an article on the strategy board.

That's why.

And the posted article cannot be viewed for free.

You must pay the coin I designated.

That is, this strategy board is a space to sell strategy articles.

The more my posted strategy article sells, the more free coins come in as a system.

I posted the strategy board post at a fairly cheap price.

It was good for me to see this strategy board post and make money, and I posted it with the intention that fewer people would die in the dungeon after reading the article.

Anyway, this is done.

After writing and saving all the posts, I opened my inventory.

Next is this.

A crystal that can create a guild.

I took out the crystal and used it right away.

I pressed Y first.

Then another message popped up.

Hmm.

Jin-hwan approached me, who was holding the crystal and thinking.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm considering using this."

"What is it?"

I told Jin-hwan about the dungeon and all the information about the guys who came looking for me at the same time.

I kept it a secret from the other students, but I told Kang Hyuk-hyung and Jin-hwan that this shelter might be targeted.

And there was also the ticket that allowed shelter plunder.

To protect this shelter, I needed to use this crystal to find out the information.

Since there was no such information on the board yet, I needed quick information.

"Let's use it. This is our shelter. It can't be taken away, right?"

"Right? Got it."

Jin-hwan was right.

To protect this place, I needed to create a guild.

That's why I used the Pure White Crystal.

Guild name.

Guild Name: World's Strongest

A guild created in an instant.

At the same time, another message popped up.

The word "plunder" stood out more than other words.

It seemed that only those who owned the guild could use that plunder ticket.

"Jin-hwan, come and join."

"Ssaem. What kind of guild name is this!"

"What's wrong with it?"

"Isn't it too lame? There are many cool names."

"Shut up. It's simple and great."

How great was it.

After inviting the remaining members to the guild, I started investigating the guild a bit more.

***

Tsk. It's not coming easily.

According to Jin-hwan, Kim Min-sung had refused conversation with him.

After sending people for several days, it was useless.

It seemed I had to go myself.

"That guy is really tempting."

The owner of an attractive summoning ability.

Because of that, I had spent quite a bit of time looking for his face, name, and location.

I had sent for him because I couldn't bring him directly due to his presence, but it seemed I had to go.

Knock knock.

"Come in."

Hwang Min-soo's subordinate opened the door and came in.

He quickly approached Hwang Min-soo, as if there was something to report.

"Brother. It's the shelter where that Kim Min-sung you marked is."

"Yeah. Why?"

"It seems a guild has been formed in that shelter."

"Guild?"

Hwang Min-soo went to the board and checked the guild list.

Newly created guild World's Strongest.

"This is troublesome."

It looked usable enough, so I had planned to recruit him as a subordinate through contract and put him in the guild.

But if he was already in the guild, it would be a bit complicated.

"And look here. It seems someone has cleared the Death Dungeon."

"That dungeon?!"

Hwang Min-soo's eyes widened.

In fact, I had gone to the Death Dungeon myself, but after confirming it was Medusa, I thought clearing was impossible.

At the same time, I had escaped using the hidden passage that wasn't known yet, but I had used it to escape the dungeon I couldn't clear with my current level.

Yet someone had cleared it.

It was a natural reaction.

"Who is it?!"

"The person with ID Predator."

"Predator?"

"Yes."

For a moment, Hwang Min-soo felt that the letters looked familiar from somewhere.

He quickly checked the rank chart.

There was the name Kim Min-sung and the job Predator.

"Rank 8? He overtook me?"

Just a little while ago, the rank that was higher than me had been reversed.

"Wait! Kim Min-sung?"

When Hwang Min-soo saw that, he felt something.

Death ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠Dungeon, scroll, clear, Kim Min-sung, guild.

All of these were connected as one.

"So the job of that summoner guy is Predator and he's that ranker?"

I had thought he was just a better summoner than others, but he seemed bigger than I thought.

"He's too big to pull to our side."

Plan modification was needed.

First, Kim Min-sung, who had become an annoying presence in the Busan region.

If he had directly made the guild, he would obviously not comply with my contract.

If it was hard to make him an ally, I had to cut off his head before his guild grew bigger.

"Gather guild members."

"Huh? What are you planning?"

"Attack the shelter where Kim Min-sung is."

"Yes, understood!"

After the subordinate left, Hwang Min-soo took the Shelter Plunder Ticket from his inventory and held it up.

Countless shelters around.

I set aside the nearby shelters and specified the one where Kim Min-sung was.
