“and.”

Sanggye arrived through the gate.

When I saw the scenery there, I couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. This was because it was a wonderful sight that could only be seen in a picture.

A very high cliff. And just looking at the waterfall that cascades down the middle of the cliff aroused my curiosity.

It was literally a landscape that seemed to say, ‘If you want to train, do it in a place like this.’ And it was actually a very suitable place for training.

‘The mana is definitely dense.’

The upper world had more mana than any other place Jeong-do had been to. Even ordinary people who had never experienced Manarago in their lives could feel that the air was different when they came here.

To put it a bit exaggeratedly, it felt like my mana would rise just by breathing in and out.

<Confucius. So what do you plan to do from now on? Would you at least swing a sword while facing a waterfall?>

“That could be an option too.”

I wondered if practicing under a waterfall would really be of practical help, but there was nothing I could do about it.

However, instead of jumping into the waterfall, Jeongdo stood in front of the cliff. He then concentrated his mana on his legs and ran up the cliff. Since he was in an unfamiliar place, he wanted to climb to a high place and understand the terrain first.

Jeongdo climbed up the cliff without making the slightest sound. It was a sight that seemed to tell me to throw away the laws of physics, but to my current degree, it was as natural as breathing.

grasp!

When he reached the top of the cliff, he raised his mana with all his might, kicked the ground, and his body soared into the air, cutting through the wind.

Woe! And a pleasant breeze hit my face. It was only when I reached the highest point that I looked down.

<Huh. It is truly a spectacular view.>

It was just as Yoo Seon said. There was an endless sea of ​​forest extending just below our feet. Looking everywhere, there was a series of trees, trees, trees all the way to the horizon.

“It’s crowded. “This is why it’s hard to figure out what’s in the forest.”

<It might be infested with monsters, just like Mr. Myo said. You just have to figure it out little by little.>

“First, I need to find a place to stay.”

Shuuuk.

A body fell down quickly. But the landing was extremely soft.

widely.

Jeongdo smiled with satisfaction when not a single bit of dust rose from the ground where his feet touched.

Mana operation was smoother than before.

It hasn’t been long since I entered the upper world, but I can already feel it, so I felt like I could achieve significant results if I put my mind to it and practice.

Jeongdo moved towards the waterfall again.

The sound of the falling waterfall almost hurt my ears, but I continued walking towards the waterfall. Yoo Seon said, questioning that level of behavior.

<Confucius? Didn’t you say you were looking for a place to stay? Are you really planning on swinging a sword in a waterfall?>

“No way.”

Even if it were, it wasn’t now.

Of course, the reason Jeong Do approached the waterfall was to find a hiding place. The fact that there is a hidden space behind such a huge waterfall is a classic story.

And the entrepreneurship life begins from there.

Isn’t this a situation that any man who has read martial arts magazines has imagined at least once? Yu-seon noticed Jeong-do’s thoughts and scolded him.

<Tsk tsk. Confucius. Reality is not a story… >

However, Yoo Seon’s words did not last until the end.

Okay.

Because there was a really big cave in the place where I cut through the water of the waterfall. Jeongdo shrugged his shoulders once and entered the cave.

“I don’t think it’s the beast’s den.”

<Hmm.>

That’s what Jeong-do said as he slowly looked into the cave. It was hard to see because there was a lot of moss, but there were traces of sword swings on the cave walls.

It seems that the person here trained by looking at the cave wall instead of facing the waterfall.

‘It’s been a long time since anyone left.’

If people had come and gone often, there would not have been so much moss on the floor. Jeongdo was caught up in a strange sense of anticipation.

Hidden cave behind the waterfall.

There are traces of people having been there, but they are very old traces.

Sword marks carved into the wall.

It was a combination that exuded the scent of smoke!

‘At the end of the cave, there will be the white skeleton of a retired expert who has already become a corpse.’

And in front of that white bone, there would be an old book and a wooden box. And at the beginning of the book, his detailed story will be written, starting with “Yeonja!”

Yes, this was exactly the landscape of the wireless world he had imagined. At least, if it was named ‘Seongye’, it had to be like this.

How embarrassed I was when I first came to the mainland of the wireless world. As if it wasn’t enough to form a village, people flocked here to say they were newbies. Who would have imagined such a scene reeking of stagnant water? With the name ‘Seongye’.

“feel so good.”

Jeongdo quickly explored the cave with his eyes sparkling like a child.

* * * * * *

The cave was not very deep. After walking for about 10 minutes, we soon reached the end of the cave.

And of course, there was no such thing as white bones.

However, the prediction was not entirely wrong. Even though there were no bodies at the end of the cave, there were still items like worn-out cloth and iron dishes.

Jeongdo did not give up hope and began to search through all the furniture.

And then I realized.

“A novel is a novel.”

<I’m surprised you were even a little sincere.>

“what. it’s okay. “Anyway, we secured the hideout that was our goal.”

It is a very great achievement to be in an environment like this, away from the wilderness itself. Right now, he needed a safe place more than anything else.

‘I need time to digest what I gained from Wireless Festival.’

It was also necessary to look at the development of <Sotong> by integrating five commands, and in particular, stabilization of talent was urgent.

There are two talents currently being stabilized: <Swift-lv.3> and <Spear-lv.2>. It was a talent exchanged between Astolfo and an unknown white figure that had been loaded in Mana’s room.

It was best to digest talent as soon as possible.

The reason was simple. The greater the number of talents you have accumulated, the greater the pain when digesting them!

It was for this reason that Jeong-do found a hiding place.

It is a place where you never know when and where monsters will appear. Isn’t it possible to stabilize talent in an open area?

After carefully examining the inside of the cave, I took out a gag from my inventory. And before taking off the necklace, I searched through my belongings one last time. I was wondering if there might be some treasure I hadn’t discovered yet.

<Confucius. It’s a bit funny what Jim said, but don’t be too fond of free stuff. Do you know what Confucius looks like now? like… >

“Are you a thief? hmm. “There won’t be anything special here.”

A middle-aged man’s voice followed immediately after Yoo Seon’s voice.

There was no sign. No, to be precise, she just doesn’t feel it. Even at this moment, when I heard a voice right behind me, I couldn’t make out its presence.

‘… ‘I’m going crazy.’

The back was caught perfectly. It wasn’t that I let my guard down. I looked around my surroundings as thoroughly as I could.

However, being in this situation meant that the opponent’s skills were far superior to yours.

To be honest, it was an unbelievable situation.

Until now, I have never missed an opponent’s presence so completely… No, there was one. If it were Winry, it would be possible to approach it this way. But she is an exception among exceptions.

Aside from her, the strongest person he has ever met is Mushinma. However, it was impossible for even such a Martial God Demon to hide his presence this far.

A higher-ranking expert than Mushinma.

Now that person has caught up with him. The extent to which I concentrated my senses to the extreme. I felt the hairs all over my body stand up. Beads of sweat were running down my forehead due to the tension.

“hey. Are you really a thief? Why are you silent? Oh, maybe you don’t understand the language?”

However, in complete contrast to that level, the man’s voice was very light. There was not the slightest hostility in the light voice, but rather there was even a hint of welcome. But despite that voice, I still couldn’t feel any sign of him, which was driving me crazy.

‘No porridge or rice like this.’

I don’t feel any hostility from the other person, but I can’t let down my guard. This is the wireless world. Humans should not be understood using Earth’s common sense. He didn’t know when something would suddenly change and attack him.

‘If that’s the case… !’

“Hey, when people say something, react… !”

It’s a judgment call.

Do-do made a surprise move, aiming for the moment the man spoke. The King of All Diseases instantly turned into a sword and quickly swung towards the place where his voice was coming from.

however.

“Ohh. Since we can’t communicate verbally, are you trying to communicate with your body? “It’s an ignorant yet likable method!”

The sword was only able to cut through the air. I did it just in case, but it’s still the same. One good thing is that the man just avoided the topic he said. Thanks to this, I was able to identify the man.

The man had black hair. And even his beard was messy and long, making it difficult to guess his age.

He wore nothing on his upper body, and what he wore as bottoms were nothing more than rags. I was surprised to see that he looked like a caveman, but so was the other person. Although the reason for my surprise was different.

The man said to Jeongdo in a surprised voice.

“… no way? hey. Swing your sword again.”

“what?”

“Oh, you can talk? No, that’s not important now, try swinging the sword again. “With all my might.”

What kind of trick is this again?

Jeongdo didn’t respond to the other person’s request and just took a stance. But the man nodded as if that was enough. And he opened his mouth as if wondering.

“It’s definitely true, but… Why is it so clumsy? Did you stop learning?”

“… What are you talking about? how?”

“Yes, that language. I remembered. I didn’t write it down so much that I forgot about it. “It’s the language of my hometown.”

That must be the language of my hometown.

As long as you have <Communication-lv.3>, there will be no problem with communication, so it may sound like that. However, the man who did not know that level of ability shook his head as if he missed it. And after a while he said something ridiculous.

“Are you by any chance my descendant? Looking at the law, I think it’s correct. “Even if it’s clumsy.”

“… … .”

“Oh, don’t look at me like that. “Because I’m not crazy.”

When Jeongdo fell silent, the man scratched his head, probably realizing that it was a ridiculous question.

And then I started to feel vibrations far outside the cave. The tremors gradually got closer, and soon the cave began to tremble enough to be mistaken for an earthquake.

And the powerful mana you can feel.

Even at the minimum, I felt the mana was equivalent to the highest level of black level. When Jeong-do was embarrassed by the mana, the man said to Jeong-do that it was actually good.

“Very good. Okay, it would be quicker to show it in person. Hey, thief. No, descendants. “Follow me.”

“100 million?!”

After saying that, the man grabbed Jeongdo’s backside. And he moved out of the cave in an instant. The speed of his movements was such that you wouldn’t believe it even if you saw it with your own eyes.

There was a huge animal outside the cave.

It was a huge monster that seemed to have the body of a bear combined with the face of a tiger. Black-level mana was flowing from the monster.

“Look carefully.”

The man picked up a tree branch nearby. And he aimed at the monster, which he could not tell whether it was a bear or a tiger.

“Huh?!”

Familiar posture. I began to feel a familiar energy wave.

How could I forget that posture?

Among the skills he had personally used, the power of this skill was unparalleled. And now, it is still the technology that is being targeted.

A <Dangong Cham> was fired from the man’s tree branch and struck the animal. There was no sound either.

“Chooooooong!!!”

All the beast could do was scream. Sound, mana, and even concepts were cut into pieces in a single blow.

The man looked at Jeong-do as if asking how he was feeling. He could not help but observe to some extent a personality that was completely different from the one he was used to.

<This is a type in which information cannot be viewed through observation.>

<Relevant type: Cheonmujiche>

“haha.”

“what? Why are you laughing?”

“no. “I’m glad to see you.”

“oh? “You are my descendant after all, right?”

“It’s similar. ‘nice to see you. It’s called sedation.”

The identity of the person Jeong Do first met in the commercial world was none other than Cheok Jun-gyeong.

He was also a character from that world who was not a character from the ‘real universe’.
