Return To Level Up

As soon as Ha-jin Kang returned to Korea, he headed straight for Paju.

Currently, all the main characters of the Guardians were in Paju.

Not only the Guardians, but among the Awakeneds active in Korea, most of the people with empty schedules were in Paju.

Even Kyung-min Yoon is now in Paju, so Ha-jin Kang headed straight for Paju from the airport.

While moving to Paju, Ha-jin Kang thought about the huge dungeon that was held in Hawaii the whole time.

But no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't come up with a clear answer.

Meanwhile, he arrived in Paju.

Paju was quite naughty.

There are many people who have abandoned their homes and have fled downstairs.

The people who lived in Paju suddenly became refugees.

Dungeons appear everywhere and it has become a daily routine for the Awakened to move to close the dungeon.

In addition, another dungeon exploded while Ha-jin Kang came to Korea from the United States.

As soon as Kang Ha-jin arrived in Paju, he felt the unstable swaying magic.

It wasn't just unstable, but cracks were felt everywhere.

There was definitely a reason why dungeons were popping up all of a sudden.

Perhaps he would use that unstable rift to penetrate the dungeon.

It was a little different from the way dungeons were usually created. The situation in Paju is unusual.

As I went inside, my magic became much more unstable.

In this way, there was a possibility that there would be a problem in using a skill based on magic.

Anyway, I use the surrounding magic to use my skills, but if it's unstable, it'll be difficult to control my skills as I want.

As I went further inside, I saw the sight of the Awakened rushing all over the place.

And the sound of fighting monsters could be heard from afar.

In between, people could be seen evacuating.

Several Awoken people were moving a group of ordinary people out of Paju.

“There was a riot.”

Going further inside, I saw the Guardians' guild members.

And in the meantime, I could see Yoon Kyung-min, who was busy shouting here and there.

Ha-jin Kang hurriedly approached Kyung-min Yoon.

"How is it going?"

“Ah, Master. You are finally here.”

Yoon Kyung-min was happy and greeted Kang Ha-jin.

“In a word, I was blown away. About an hour after I spoke to the master, things suddenly got worse.”

Kang Ha-jin heard those words and looked around.

“Certainly… it looks like it.”

What I heard on the phone with Kyung-min Yoon in New York was very different from what I heard now.

Perhaps no one knew what would happen here if left as it is.

“Let’s get things organized first. It doesn't look easy, though."

Kang Ha-jin left those words and went further inside.

He just went in about 500 meters further, but there was a battle going on everywhere.

The level of the monsters was not that high.

Fortunately it was If the dungeons are pouring like this, and even the monsters are strong, it won't be easy to tie up the monsters in Paju.

Ha-jin Kang gave a buff and detonated a healing bomb whenever he saw Awakenings fighting.

As soon as Ha-jin Kang passed by, the battle situation changed drastically.

Now, Hajin Kang's buff has risen to an overwhelming level.

Thanks to the various effects that have been obtained over the years as well as the skill level that has been steadily increased, it has become so great that it cannot be compared with before.

Hajin Kang didn't just spray buffs, but directly intervened in battles where the situation was not likely to improve with buffs alone, killing a few key monsters at once.

Along the way Ha-jin Kang was moving, things started to be sorted out one by one.

After the battle, the Awoken hurried around looking for their comrades.

Only one Hajin Kang joined, but the situation in Paju began to improve rapidly.

* * *

After walking around Paju a few times, Ha-jin Kang joined Yoon Kyung-min again.

"You've worked hard, Master."

As soon as Yoon Kyung-min saw Kang Ha-jin, he ran to meet him.

“As you can see, there is not much room. Please heal and send everyone to close the dungeon.”

At Ha-jin Kang’s words, the complexions of the guild members who were looking at Yoon Kyung-min and Kang Ha-jin became pale.

On the other hand, Yoon Kyung-min nodded his head eagerly with a bright face.

“After all, Master knows something. Long breaks are poison. dock."

Kyung-min Yoon frantically walked [recovery] and forcibly woke up the scattered guild members.

The guild members trembled and set out to find the dungeon.

Of course he was nervous, but there were no complaints. Because they, too, were feeling that the situation was not serious.

“The situation is like this, so there is no such thing as a land negotiation, right?”

When Ha-jin Kang looked around and said that, Kyung-min Yoon grinned.

“Isn’t there more room for negotiation because of this situation?”

Surprisingly, Yoon Kyung-min was able to direct the situation here and at the same time talk to a government official and negotiate the site at the same time.

“The problem is that it is only difficult to receive a site like this. Can we really use this?”

“It’s us, so we can write. We have to take care of it on a regular basis, so if we don’t come in, we will have to throw away the entire Paju.”

“Certainly it is.”

Kyung-Min Yoon also put the condition in place so that he could receive the site almost for free.

However, if Paju was abandoned, the people living in Paju would come out as refugees, but managing those people was also a problem, so the government had no choice but to be dragged around by the Guardians.

“The site negotiations seem to be going well, so don’t worry, we need to get this situation right first.”

Hajin Kang nodded his head. If things don't get worse here, things will soon be sorted out.

When Ha-jin Kang and Kyung-min Yoon were discussing the future for a while, Hwang Soo-young ran like a deokdal from where they heard the story.

“No, you have to tell me that you are here.”

“Ah, you were in the dungeon, didn’t you? Can you help me recover?”

At Yoon Kyung-min's words, Hwang Soo-young was terrified and stopped running, killing the momentum.

“Is it okay? Do you think I will be fooled once or twice?”

[Recovery] Yoon Kyung-min was a really great skill. It completely restores his physical condition.

It even relieves mental fatigue.

The problem was that it came back with some strange damage.

Actually, once is fine, but if you recover more than two times in a row, you will experience a very unfamiliar pain.

It was a pain that could not be explained in words, so when I asked why, everyone just groaned.

When you talk about it with Yoon Kyung-min, Yoon Kyung-min doesn't understand it. That's why it's painful

“If you get hit with that twice, you can’t rest when you really want to rest later!”

Kang Ha-jin greatly sympathized with Hwang Soo-young's words and nodded his head.

Those who have never experienced it will probably never understand. Except for Yoon Kyung-min.

“Hey, why are you like this? You have to go back to close the dungeon soon. Are you tired?”

Hwang Soo-young shook his head.

"Are not you tired. It's okay to just go and hunt. So put your hand down. If it goes up further, I really can’t stand it.”

Yoon Kyung-min raised his hand, stood still in an awkward position, then smiled and lowered his hand.

"Okay. Well, you can tell me whenever you want. I don't know how strange it feels to be honest, but isn't that better than watching people die or get hurt or die?"

It was so rhetorical that there was nothing to refute.

Hwang Soo-young kicked her feet with an angry expression and then turned her head to look at Kang Ha-jin.

It was meant to say something, but Hajin Kang had nothing to say.

“Our Guardians are planning to establish a new guild headquarters in Paju.”

Hwang Soo-young's eyes widened at the outrageous words that came out of nowhere.

"Yes? here? Is this a riot?”

“We will continue to maintain our existing headquarters. After all, the number of people continues to grow. But we need a safer base.”

"No... If you want to find a safe base, you'll have to go somewhere other than here..."

Hwang Soo-young said that and shut her mouth. It was because he seemed to understand why Ha-jin Kang was saying that.

So she said with a serious expression.

“There’s no way this place shouldn’t come out again. Will you set up a branch there at that time?”

“You have to think about it then.”

Hwang Soo-young sighed and shook his head.

“Tell me about your plans. If we can, we will come too. To be honest, there are so many guilds in Seoul that there is not much danger.”

As if Ha-jin Kang knew she would, she told details of what was going on until now.

Hwang Soo-young, who heard all of that, looked at Yoon Kyung-min and said.

“Loji, can you negotiate ours too? There will be a lot of playing ground, so please ask for a bigger one.”

Yoon Kyung-min chuckled.

“Leave it to me. I will take him as a very cool guy.”

When the conversation was over, Ha-jin Kang lightly relaxed her body.

“Now, shall we go and end this situation?”

Hwang Soo-young smiled brightly and nodded her head.

A full day passed after the two of them left, and most of the dungeons opened in Paju were closed.

Of course, that didn't mean it was over. Because the dungeon was still opening quickly.

* * *

The Paju incident has come to an end.

Of course, that didn't mean it completely resolved the situation.

The dungeon was still open, and the Awoken ran hard to close it.

However, compared to when the first Paju incident broke out and the situation worsened, it was extremely peaceful.

Many of the Awoken who were put in at that time returned to their original positions.

Only a few small and medium-sized guilds, Dungeon Breakers, and Guardians were active in northern Gyeonggi-do.

The Awoken Association also withdrew.

Now, it was decided that only the remaining personnel would be sufficient to respond.

Also, judging that a similar situation might occur elsewhere, the association entered into an emergency system.

The association mobilized all information networks to identify the abnormal situation.

However, no similar situation occurred outside of Paju.

Only Pajuman dungeons appeared constantly.

Ha-jin Kang was looking around the land that Kyung-min Yun obtained from the government through negotiations.

It was the land at the foot of a mountain, and it was really wide.

There were also landowners around it, and as soon as the incident broke out, it was sold out.

The Guardian came forward and bought it at a bargain price.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

Considering the original market price, it was a ridiculous price that could never be bought, but the seller shouted hurray that it was a windfall.

There were quite a few people who owned large-scale land in Paju.

They heard the rumors and contacted the Guardians. I used all the stars to sell the land somehow.

All of them possessed enormous wealth other than land, and they thought the answer was to dispose of them quickly before the situation got worse.

However, recently land prices have been falling, and after this accident happened, the land prices were breaking through the floor and going down.

The Guardians also bought all of the land at a bargain price through a light negotiation.

So wealthy people struggled to dispose of the land somehow.

It seems that it would be difficult for the Guardians to buy more land, so there were even people who contacted the Dungeon Breaker side.

There were many sellers and few buyers, so the price had to go down as time went on.

So it got faster. I tried to sell it somehow, thinking that I would get the price right now if I sold it quickly.

Anyway, thanks to that, Guardians and Dungeon Breakers were able to secure a fairly large lot.

It was so wide that there was no way to know where to use it all.

Besides, the sites were not all attached, but were scattered in several places.

Of course, there were a lot of sites attached to it.

Hajin Kang stood in the center of the attached site.

If this is enough, there will be quite a lot of land left for the castle.

Wouldn't it still be worth living if there were various amenities built there?

Originally, to build a castle here, the use of the site must also be confirmed, various permits must be obtained, and the procedure is complicated.

However, Yoon Kyung-min solved it all at once.

It was negotiated so that the Guardians could freely use the site by using the special characteristics of the current Paju.

In fact, neither the government nor associations had anything to do with it. Because if Guardians or Dungeon Breakers didn't take care of it, fear that something really big could happen later reigned supreme.

If Paju was pushed back, Seoul was next.

Just imagining the hundreds of monsters rushing into Seoul was terrifying.

Anyway, for that reason, there was no problem in summoning the castle now.

Hajin Kang wrote [Declaration of Territory] to immediately call out his surname.

The unstable magical power and all the circumstances around him found stability in an instant.

Ha-jin Kang felt the sensation of a huge area being established around him.

The territory was secured, and the area around Kang Ha-jin's realm began to gradually find stability.

It was much slower than when the area was declared, but the area around the area was stabilizing little by little.

‘This is how it works.’

Hajin Kang summoned the castle to the center of his realm.

A huge castle suddenly appeared there.

The very castle in the Rocky Mountains appeared in the middle of Paju.

As soon as the castle was established, Ha-jin Kang's domain expanded rapidly.

The power contained in Reidros's castle itself expanded Hajin Kang's realm. It was kind of a buff.

Hajin Kang looked up at the towering white castle.

From now on, this is the Guardian's new home.
