Refreshing morning.
Sumire rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand like a cat, then yawned and slowly opened her eyes. Blurry vision at first. As Sumire gradually came to her senses, the first thing she saw was Shin Yooseong’s face.
“… … uh?”
Sumire spits out a sigh.
“Uh, uh… … .”
Sumire urgently let go of Shinyuseong’s arm that she was hugging. Shin Yooseong wakes up again due to Sumire’s hasty actions.
“… … Ah, you’re awake. “Sumire.”
Shin Yuseong was also yawning. Perhaps thanks to not being on guard, I got a long-awaited sleep. Sumire ran her hand through her messy hair and smiled sheepishly.
“Ah, ha, haha… … . Sorry, sorry. “It was uncomfortable, right?”
Shin Yusung shook his head in response to Sumire’s worried question.
“are you okay. Rather than that… … Shall we start preparing for the attack? As I said, this dungeon is level 5.”
Shin Yu-seong tied his hair with a ribbon and spoke in a serious voice.
“This is a completely different level from the level 4 opponents I’ve dealt with so far.”
Level 5 is a dungeon that only high-ranking hunters in active duty challenge. However, Shin Yu-seong and Sumire, as representatives of Gaon, were recognized for their skills even though they were students, and were challenging the strategy.
Wow. Wow.
Sumire tilted her head and tilted her head when she heard a strange noise coming from behind.
“おいしい… … .(delicious…….)”
A snack made from rice. I was eating rice crackers while crunching. Sugoro has a cute and small body and eats a lot. Sumire gently picked up Sugoro and carried him outside the room.
“Well then, shall we get ready right away!?”
Sumire smiles as if nothing happened. Shin Yu-seong nodded her head.

Choten Academy’s portal zone.
Sakura was amazed as she looked at the huge portals lined up in a row.
“Even though it’s our school, we have a lot of money. Right~ Seiji?”
Sakura chuckled when Seiji didn’t answer. She spoke as if Seiji should listen.
“Isshin, he really didn’t even come to meet you? “You’re grumpier than you look.”
“Haha, Isshindo… … “There will be difficulties of their own.”
“I guess so.”
Sakura looked around with a bored expression. The portal zone is a symbol of an academy with good facilities. Thanks to the portal, students were able to move to all kinds of dungeons at school.
This is how the Choten Academy tradition arose. Choten’s first-year students lined up and greeted Seiji and Sakura.
– Become the peak!
Students shouting loudly under the guidance of each class president. Seiji walked to the front of the portal with confident steps.
Jump and jump.
The sound of footsteps coming from the passage opposite. Seiji smiled and looked towards the source of the sound.
“Here!”
Seiji waves his hand vigorously.
Sakura whispered to Seiji as she looked at Shinyuseong and Sumire walking slowly.
“The skill to beat Adela. Will it work in dungeons too? Can I trust you in a level 5 dungeon? “They’re both grade F.”
After saying that, Sakura narrowed her eyes and smiled like a fox. Seiji responded with a similar smile.
“Doubts only eat away at each other. Now that we have become one party. “I have no choice but to believe.”
“Heh, you’re really not funny.”
Four party members gathered like that.
Choten’s instructor, Yamada, fiddled with his glasses and briefly explained in Korean.
“The destination is the level 5 dungeon, Castle of Dreams. “I hope everyone returns safely after dealing with the boss, the succubus.”
Jiiiing!!
A portal that makes a loud noise and flashes blue light. The newly formed Korean-Japanese joint party of four entered the portal.

Unknown structure. tower.
King Yu Won-hak was a hunter who reached the highest level among existing human beings. But the place where he stands today is just the starting point, the first floor.
“It’s been a long time.”
Yu Won-hak looked up at the endless tower. The huge tower clearly existed in front of us, but hunters who had actually climbed it knew that. The appearance of the tower on the outside is just an illusion.
First floor.
5th floor.
10th floor.
20th floor.
In the tower, different worlds coexist on each floor. So, a swampy area could unfold where you couldn’t see an inch in front of you, or a Gothic castle could appear.
What hunters who attack the tower need. Overwhelming skill that even the unknown cannot use.
“Haha! The president of the association personally came to meet me. Yuchan, you are loyal after all!”
Yu Won-hak was happy, smiling brightly at Kang Yu-chan. Kang Yu-chan nodded her head with a serious look on her face.
“You are right. If I exclude my loyalty to Kang Yu-chan, I have nothing left. LOL!”
Kang Yu-chan, who laughed like that, narrowed his eyes at Yu Won-hak.
“What on earth were you thinking beyond that? Are you coming to the tower yourself? Surely trying to attack… … .”
“It just occurred to me that I came here. “It is a place where meteors will rise soon.”
Yu Won-hak scratched his head with his thick fingers and spoke. Kang Yu-chan looked up at the tower soaring high into the sky next to Yu Won-hak.
“I never thought I would see you being so emotional. It’s a big deal. “Isn’t it time for him to die?”
Yu Won-hak and Kang Yu-chan are China’s swordsmen. And the party attacked the tower with the English witch. The two were colleagues who shared life and death together.
“… … I was just curious. “I wonder how far up the tower the student who taught me everything will climb.”
“Well, that’s fine. If it’s a shooting star… … Maybe you don’t know? We might really attack the tower… … .”

“Haha! That’s a really nice story to hear. Of course, the first thing to do is to conquer the dungeon you gave me.”
Kang Yu-chan shook his head at Yu Won-hak’s words.
“You look like a tiger. “What you’re doing is like a snake.”
“however… … A level 5 dungeon on an expedition. “You must have pushed yourself too hard.”
Yu Won-hak was right.
It was none other than Kang Yu-chan who allowed us to conquer the level 5 dungeon with only four students.
“okay. As you said, I overdid it. Level 5 is a difficult dungeon that even active hunters fail to clear… … . “It must be a difficult strategy for students.”
But with the life I have had as the president of the association so far. No, Kang Yu-chan could tell with the hunter’s intuition.
“But Yooseong, although I hate to admit it, had the same eyes as you.”
Kang Yu-chan’s grinning smile contained trust in Yu Won-hak.
“I don’t know how to give up… … . The more you encounter strong adversity. Eyes that become stronger.”
Yu Won-hak nodded without answering. The level 5 dungeon was notorious for its wicked difficulty, but he believed that his disciple Shin Yu-seong would definitely succeed.
‘And when the strategy is over. You and your colleagues will be much stronger.’
It was a staircase that had to be overcome for the competition.

Gothic medieval castle.
Even during the day, purple clouds were flowing across the dark sky. As its name suggests, this castle has a dreamlike landscape. Sakura, the archer, imbued her eyes with mana and scanned her surroundings.
“Confirmed~ There are no enemies outside like the information written on the map.”
Seiji folded his arms and looked worried. But even for a moment, Seiji looked at Shin Yu-seong and spoke confidently.
“We’ll go through the back door and into the passage on the right!”
Shin Yu-seong nods his head instead of answering. Finding the boss mob, the succubus, in such a huge castle was not easy.
The path to the succubus’ room is tightly hidden with traps and devices. In the end, they have no choice but to disperse and find their own way. Sumire looked at her new Yooseong with a serious expression.
“Yoo, Yoosung. Then me too… … “Left aisle as planned?”
“okay. Continue to increase the number of undead as you pass through the passage. And Sumire, if you are in danger, you can contact Pocket right away.”
“yes! All right!”
Let Sumire answer energetically. Shin Yu-seong looked at the passage to the right of the main gate. He then leaned against the wall and thought.
‘… … ‘Something is strange here.’
Shin Yu-seong, who has sensitive senses, could tell. The rich mana unique to the Castle of Dreams was evenly distributed not only on objects but also in all sorts of places.
‘… … A place like this is only maintained by a level 5 boss?’
Shin Yu-seong had heard about it from King Kwon. It is said that most dungeons that have been assimilated to reality are boss level.
Level 4. Level 5. Level 6. Level 7.
Bosses appeared in dungeons suited to their level in proportion to their strength.
There was something strange about the castle of dreams that Shin Yu-seong saw. Just looking at the concentration of mana spread in the air, it was definitely not level 5.
‘Because the association conducted an investigation. It is clear that the boss guarding the Castle of Dreams is a succubus… … . So how… … .’
But no matter how much I thought, the question was not resolved. Now was the stage where investigation was needed.
* * *
The first room we arrived in was not a monster. Lying in a beautiful, well-decorated room was a stone tablet with an unknown language written on it.
“… … uh?”
Sumire’s right hand emits purple light as if reacting to a stone slab. Sumire stopped his steps and looked at the stone slab.
“Ta, exactly?”
There was definitely something strange.
The mana emitted by the stone tablet was very similar to the power of the characteristic used by Sumire.
Ugh- Ugh!
“This, this? Oh, no way… … .”
Jerk.
The closer Sumire got, the more the stone’s mana resonated. The probability is lower than the probability of obtaining an artifact. Sumire had heard it briefly.
‘No, that doesn’t make sense…’ … .’
But all signs pointed to only one possibility.
“Tap, tap!”
Shin Yooseong’s skeleton pointed at the stone slab next to Sumire. They seemed to be cheering me on, telling me to approach the stone slab.
Buzz buzz!
The sound the stone slab made became louder, and Sumire’s hands trembled from the resonance of mana.
‘Something, something strange…’ … .’
Sumire’s power is black magic.
This boss, the succubus, was merely a familiar summoned by black magic. In other words, this kind of power is the domain of witches who serve succubi.
There was something strange about Sumire’s different types of power reacting in the Castle of Dreams.
‘Well, but… … I can not stop!’
But Sumire seemed possessed. Sumire’s hand was drawn to the stone slab as if by fate.
widely.
And when Sumire placed her hand on the slate, everything became clear.
Saaaa!!
Purple light emanating from the stone tablet and Sumire’s hands. Sumire closed her eyes against the bright light. And then I slowly opened my eyes.
[The language is being interpreted using the information stored in the pocket.]
[Interpretation is complete.]
[The item in question is (The Witch’s Piece – Laplace’s Tablet).]
What you see in front of you is a hologram emitted from the pocket.
gulp.
A nervous Sumire swallowed her saliva.
[The power contained in the witch’s fragment is recognizing the abilities of the awakened person.]
[Calculating assimilation rate… … .]
‘… … ‘I committed it.’
An unexpected development.
Sumire twitched her fingers and broke into a cold sweat.
