Lotranet, the world’s largest LOST community.
As expected from a site where topics change rapidly every hour and every second, today too, numerous types of topics were emerging, disappearing, and emerging again.
Meanwhile, a pebble was thrown onto a Lotterynet bulletin board.
[(Real time) Iron mine golems being crushed by hammers]
Since this article is about the Abandoned Iron Mine Dungeon, which is one of the most popular dungeons these days, the number of views increased quickly.
The content of the article was just a 5-second video.
[“Whoaap!”]
The video showed a small-framed female warrior swinging a large war hammer to simultaneously sweep away three iron ore golems.
-f*ck, what did I see?
-Aren’t the mining golems really tough? I was hanging around there at first, but the sword I was using couldn’t be repaired, so I threw it away;;;
└Really, all the mobs over there are so f*cking tough that you can’t catch them without using a magic wand;
– Even classes with defense skills couldn’t even scratch that place, so those crazy warrior bastards kept whining, but it turns out it’s a f*cking scam job.
└What the hell are you talking about? I bought an axe with a chisel and tried to do it, and all my teeth fell out and I lost all my allowance for a month on repairs.
People were debating the scene that went against common sense.
‘I wonder if it has any special skills or equipment.’
‘Maybe it’s not a warrior, but a different class.’
‘No. The skill that person is using right now is a warrior skill.’
At that time, people who watched the video were making various guesses.
-Hey hey, another video came up
Following the first video, new news from war correspondents began to appear one after another on the bulletin board.
Of those, the ones that got the most views, comments, and recommendations were, of course, the ones that captured the whole picture from the best angle.
[“Hey, Kwak Sang-soo! I told you to drive moderately!”]
[“Can I do that as I please? If I just run, they’ll swarm me like a swarm of bees!”]
Two men fighting each other, hammering and cutting.
Although they were sweating profusely and making death noises, the ones who were actually dying were the golems.
Golems that roll around the floor, cut down and broken every time they swing their longswords and hammers.
In particular, when the warrior used “Shatter”, several enemies were swept away by the debris.
-Crazy… What level do you have to be to get that level of attack power?
└Isn’t that level of ranker?
└Even if you’re a high-ranking player, I don’t think you’ll be able to cut down an iron ore golem like that. Even the high-level players these days are only in their 50s at most.
-Please take the post down. The dealers have barely got jobs, but if this spreads, we will become the commoners again. Please take the post down, because I am serious.
└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I don’t know what trick they used, but the moment the trick is revealed, the magicians, spirits, and madils will be back in the coffin ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ F**k it
└ㄹㅇㄹㅇ It was so shitty for those born lowly kids to act like they’re so great because they’ve created a honey hunting ground and then go on a rampage on other class bulletin boards, but they’re f*cking annoying ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└Yeah~ Anyway, after the abandoned iron mine, I was untouchable again~ But now I’m going to be an untouchable there too ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Less than a minute has passed since the post was posted.
There were numerous comments.
It was when people who had only glanced at the beginning of the video, which was over 10 minutes long, were complaining in the comments.
-You idiots, watch till the end. The wizard is preparing a rice cake table right now. What kind of commoner are you, commoner?
Comments started coming in from people who watched the video till the end.
[“I think you pushed too hard?”]
[“Hey, block it with your body! Don’t send it backwards!”]
The longsword and hammer duo that were slaughtering the golem screamed.
The second time, the inspector was caught up in the so-called ‘bulk generation’ phenomenon, where multiple monsters respawn at once, and he ended up bringing in more monsters than he could handle.
A crisis situation where the monster’s aggro spreads to the party members in the rear.
At this time, a healer and a black-robed wizard entered the video angle for the first time.
‘The healer is okay, but why is that wizard here?’
Anyway, those two are the dealers.
When people who were playing that section had such questions.
The fist of the iron ore golem that was rushing towards the healer froze and shattered.
Then, the black robed wizard looked at the golem rushing towards him.
At the same time, the man’s right hand seemed to glow, and a ball of flame exploded at the iron ore golem.
Kururung. The golem turns into stone and iron ore and shatters into a torrent.
[“Step back.”]
A golden book that comes into being to the sound of a low hum.
Meanwhile, golems rush in.
The man backs away quickly.
With each step, a wind-sharpened blade was created in real time.
And the wind blades that were simultaneously fired in time with the outstretched hands passed over the five golems’ necks with an absurdly light touch.
Golems with low resistance to magic knelt and died like beheaded prisoners.
Before I knew it, the monsters that the two melee dealers had dropped had neatly disappeared.
The man’s right hand becomes bathed in a slightly brighter light as the attackers disappear and there is no longer any need to move.
Before 1… 2… 3 seconds pass.
Hwaruk. Flames burst out from the completed magic circle.
《Crawling Fire》
Flames spreading through the floor.
A horde of iron ore golems, gnawed at by fire crawling across the ground from the outskirts.
[“The path is clear! Teresa, let’s escape first!”]

The inspector and warrior who were surrounded by monsters escaped through this escape route.
Heels that stick to them.
The photographer’s eyes moved busily here and there.
Then again, the black robe came into the angle.
A new magic circle was created at the fingertips of a man who was almost certainly a magician.
The same magic circle appears several times in quick succession.
But nothing really happened.
[“Now the attack will work.”]
A calm word.
and…….
Kwaang-
Once again the sound of hammers breaking iron-mixed stone rang out.
[“What the heck… what did I see?”]
The video ended with the photographer’s wild exclamation.
As more and more people watched the entire video, public opinion in the comments completely changed.
-??? What did I just see, like that kid said? Was that a wizard? Was the magic just like that? The wizards I was partying with needed the sun to rise and set before they could cast a single spell.
└Shit, then I would have been treated like a commoner? That speed is ridiculous. And while moving? That’s even more ridiculous.
-Wizards, come out and speak. These guys have so few people that there’s no one to spit out information.
– I’m a level 45 wizard. Here’s the explanation. Casting speed and stability increase by increasing your magic proficiency and memorizing things like magic circles, mana patterns, and spells. Even now, if you use 1-star magic to the limit of proficiency, you can get that wizard speed. But it doesn’t work while moving. This is because you have to really concentrate when using magic to quickly think of the shape of the magic circle, mana patterns, and spells, but you can’t do that while moving. That golden book is probably that person’s weapon, but it seems to be receiving bonuses because it’s an awesome activated item.
└Surprise Points 1. This crazy person got level 45 as a wizard. 2. A wizard doesn’t just have to do skilled work, but he also has to study magic circles and such. 3. Even if you do all this, it’s still a trash profession. 4. I’m a wizard too… … .
-Now that I look at the wizard kids, they’re all whining about their f*cking profession.
└It’s above too. You have to memorize the magic circle. You’re trash anyway. It’s disgusting how you manipulate public opinion to suck honey out of each other.
└If it’s that much of a scam, you should either become a wizard or you’re a dumb idiot. Oh, you can’t do it because you’re an empty-headed idiot with no education and can’t memorize spells and magic circles?
└ㅋㅋㅋㅋ You wizard kids, stop being so obsessed with memorization. What’s so great about studying while playing games? Soon, I’ll be demanding that magic be designated as an official college entrance exam subject.
-But what was the last spell you used? When you use that, two water damage enemies start dealing damage. If you look closely, before that, you could only get hit by two water damage enemies and not kill a single one.
└I know because I’m only selling that side with the black magic concept… That’s a curse magic. Looking at the magic circle, it’s a curse of softening. It lowers defense.
Finally, there was interest in the magic that was cast. And when a response to that interest appeared, the comment section went into chaos once again.
There were even comments saying that it was useless because you could use 3 attack magic spells of the same level if you used a curse once, and even experiences where it wouldn’t even apply to monsters when the skill level was low because it caused resistance.
Less than a month after LOST opened, the discourse on the ‘curse’ that had been stigmatized and discarded as trash has been rekindled.
However, this interest was limited to classes that had even the slightest connection to curses.
Real-time trending posts: [The Wizard’s Reinvention]
Most people were more interested in the flashy battle scenes of the wizard, who was famous for his trashy profession, than in such things.
In this way, the hunting video of the Dojin Party received a lot of attention, was re-edited, and was spread around.
* * *
Dojin, who had just put down the coffee he had just made, touched the tablet.
The place I entered with light hand movements was Lotranet.
Without even looking around, Dojin checked the wizard bulletin board.
[Has anyone ever used a curse spell?]
[I just tried using a curse spell, but it consumes too much mana and I can’t use it.]
[Does anyone know the name of the book and equipment the wizard used in that video?]
[I was trying to use a curse, but why is the price like this? The price has gone up like crazy. Those crazy guys are really quick.]
The bulletin board was hot.
It’s hard to believe that the Magician bulletin board, which boasts the lowest population and the fewest number of posts per day, has this kind of firepower.
And Dojin knew that it was he who created this atmosphere.
‘By now, the video or something would have spread.’
It’s not like I’ve been LOST for a day or two.
The speed at which information spreads, the routes through which it spreads, and the way it spreads are obvious.
The resulting repercussions are also similar.
Dojin, who had briefly reviewed the heated debate among the wizards, went to the exchange page.
This page provides real-time in-game exchange prices.
The search term you entered is ‘Curse of the Lotus’.
[2-Star Magic Skill Book – Curse of Softening]
[Price: 799 Gold]
The accumulated quantity had already disappeared.
Instead, the price of the newly listed property is more than twice the previous price.
If things were normal, the quantity would not be melting away at this rate, and it was probably just merchants who smelled money and bought up large quantities.
At this, the corners of Dojin’s mouth went up.
‘It almost doubled, so I would have earned at least 10,000 gold.’
Because before the private sector fever starts to rise.
That was because I had already spent all my money to buy skill books when no one was interested in curses.
Originally, I didn’t have much money so I wouldn’t have been able to make a big profit, but I was lucky enough to clear a fate level quest and earn a whopping 10,000 gold.
Thanks to that, I was able to purchase more skill books, and all that money came back to me as profit.
Dojin checked the market price. Should we take a look at people’s reactions? Thinking that, he went to the hottest post and was surprised when he saw the comments.
The reaction was hotter than expected.
Surprised reactions such as the speed, stability, and clean use of magic that seemed to have surpassed the limits of skill that could be accumulated at the current point in time.
-Hello. My name is Hemut and I run a YouTube channel. I’m planning a broadcast where I’ll invite the magician class master, and I’d really like to invite you. If you happen to see this comment, please contact me via the email address listed on my profile.
Not only YouTubers who were quick to sniff out the news and show interest, but also reporters from each gaming community and even Rotranet left comments requesting interviews.
Dojin’s feelings after seeing that… weren’t bad.
Should I say that it feels like the instinct of servitude that was dormant inside me is awakening?
But Dojin turned off the tablet screen without any hesitation.
I had no intention of interviewing or broadcasting anyone who left a comment there.
‘It’s not enough to just come out with something like this.’
Not yet, not yet the time.
Beep beep beep beep beep
Then, as if it had been waiting, the alarm rang.
It means that the time promised to the party members has arrived.
“Then shall we run again today?”
I threw the leftover coffee into the sink and walked over to the capsule.
Current level 43.
It was the fourth day since we started hunting in the closed iron ore mine.
