1st Place In The Ranking Is A Villager

Chapter 44

1st place in the ranking is the villager

– Volume 2 Episode 19

19. Hall of Heroes (1)

Lee Ye-sook had a man Ho-young had been dating since she was in her third year of middle school.

Like Ye-Sook Lee, he also lost his wife and has one son.

No, he had one son.

By now, his son, whom he had barely met, had also died in an accident.

Since his son was studying abroad, Ho-young had never actually met his son.

For some reason he didn’t know much about his son because he had asked him not to go into details about him.

I was just wondering if that’s how people tend to be.

The two, who met Lee Ye-sook and her company as a business partner, were able to quickly get closer as they covered each other’s empty spaces and comforted each other.

She didn’t object because Ho-young also wanted Lee Ye-sook to be happy.

Neither his son, he was told, had objected to his father’s meeting with Lee Ye-sook.

He was a very friendly person, so Hoyoung was able to get to know him quickly.

He was really happy when he found out that he and Ye-sook Lee had feelings for each other about marriage.

However, it was only then that the bullying towards Ho-young became severe.

There was no problem when Hoyoung hid from them that he was being bullied.

However, as Ho-Young made a choice that he should not have made, and with that opportunity, Ye-Sook Lee found out what Ho-Young had been hiding until now, the number of times she met with him gradually decreased, and now it is close to zero.

It was because Ho-young was so close that he refused even the man he thought it was okay to be a father.

Ye-sook Lee, she thought, that her son was having such a hard time and that she couldn’t be the only one who could be happy.

She had brief and brief exchanges between him and her, but that was all she had.

And Ho-young, who was cleaning the table a while ago, accidentally saw the short text message.

[I’m glad that Ho-young is getting better. If there is anything else I can do to help […]

Even though Ho-young knew he shouldn’t, he secretly spyed on the texts he and Lee Ye-sook had shared.

After pouring sesame seeds into each other and whispering love to each other, after Ho-young was locked in the room, all of them were changed to texts expressing sincere concern for Ho-young and wanting to help.

He was thinking about Ho-young’s work as if it were his own.

He thought of Ho-young as her own child.

Ho-young felt gratitude and sorry for him and Lee Ye-sook at the same time.

“…I’m sorry I stole it.”

“son…….”

“Don’t look at me, now use your time for yourself. I’m fine now.”Ye-sook Lee couldn’t stop crying for a long time.

An event was held to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Initium’s opening.

Dungeon Time Attack ‘Hall of Heroes’.

During the one-week event period, the button to enter the Hall of Heroes is activated on the operation interface of all guild masters.

After forming a party of 5 with the guild master as the party leader, press the button to create a door to enter the event dungeon ‘Hall of Heroes’ in front of you.

The number of times you can challenge the dungeon is twice a day, and the time limit is 3 hours.

All guild members in the guild who cleared the dungeon within 3 hours of the time limit will receive a 10% increase in EXP for 5 days after the event ends.

If the number of guilds that have achieved clear exceeds a certain number, a 5% increase in EXP gained is given to all Initium players.

There, once more, the top 10 guilds are given a buff that increases their experience by 10% for 5 days.

Among them, the dungeon participants of the guild that took the first place will be given the title of ‘The 1st Hero’, which increases all stats by 5% until the 2nd Hero is born in the event one year later. The name and nickname of the guild as the first hero are recorded in ‘.

It was an opportunity to aim for a buff of up to 25% additional experience.

Therefore, in order to enter the top 10 in large guilds, some of the top rankers who did not join the guild ran to hire as mercenaries.

General guilds persuaded them to hire rankers as mercenaries to increase the probability of clearing.

It would be nice if you came in as a mercenary and become a member of the guild as it is.

– Which guild will eat first place?

└The Royal Knights are highly likely.

└The rise rate of Snow White these days is not a joke, is it possible?

└I voted for Akahane.

-There are rumors that Doban and Yooa will join the Royal Knights as mercenaries.

– I wish our guild would clear it. ㅠㅠ

-I’m the operator! Please update your hair dye!

└Please update me; This hair dye villain has a notice and every bagel;

The community was ablaze with stories about the guild that will take first place in this event.

The most talked about is the ‘Royal Knights’, which consists of 15 elite members in the top 100.

Snow White, led by Snow White, the ice princess who is showing a scary rise these days.

“Akahane,” which is led by the No. 1 bookmaker, and is made up of all Japanese players, and so on.

Rarely, the arena also stood out.

Because opinions were not unified, disputes continued, large and small, depending on the guilds supported by each other.

But now that the event has started, the results will be unified.

“Our guild mark suits you well. Do you have any plans to keep wearing it?”

“I don’t think so.”

Beksul smiled pleasantly at Hoya’s words.

He, who had clearly expressed refusal in the past, uttered words with the possibility of ‘not yet’.

Currently, a white tiger is painted on Hoya’s left chest.

The nickname ‘Hoya’ was proudly engraved on Seol Baek-ho’s guild member list.

As a result, it was natural for the guild chat window to rage and the story to leak out.

“Hoya the villager,” whose identity is not known at all until now.

He is now level 248 and proudly entered the top 100 rankings.

After he cleared the elves’ coming-of-age ceremony, the level was higher than 30 compared to how he was hunting.

Even at level 200, the amount of experience required increases noticeably, but at that level, that growth rate was surprising.

And as rumors spread that such a villager participated in the Snow White Lake as a mercenary, the awareness and attention of the guild increased significantly.

Countless requests have been made for her to be interviewed, but she has turned down all of them.

Whether in the game or in real life, she was not in a position where she had to be interviewed while watching the media.

It was all expected and calculated, but she was in a very good mood now because the ripple was greater than Bek Seol’s expectations.

As it is, if she achieves 1st place in this event, it seems that she has nothing more to wish for now.

Does this person in front of you know that this is the case now?

Looking at Black Heaven’s work before, it didn’t seem to pay much attention to the community, so you may not know the situation except for the guild chat.

“For now, we will only try for 5 days. Once we understand the dungeon structure and the patterns of monsters, we will start attacking in earnest.”

Currently, no information about the ‘Hall of Heroes’ has been released.

It is quite unreasonable to attack a dungeon without any information from the beginning.

The ‘Elves’ Coming-of-Age Test’ is a unique case, but in normal dungeons, it is normal to learn the pattern while repeating the challenge several times.

Through those who have challenged the dungeon, this area will come up with reviews like this and that you have to go through it like this.

But such things are unreliable.

It is best and safe to check directly by bumping it.

The members participating in this event in Seolbaekho were Beksul, Reister, Arko, Novesca, and Hoya.

Noveska was one of the officers of the Snow White Lake and was one of the top ten archers among archers.

He was a member of Yggdrasil, who was sent in to actively utilize the arrows he obtained from the village.

“I’ve heard a lot of stories. I’m looking forward to it, Hoya-sama.”

“Please, at least briefly.”

“Is it okay if I keep going long? Heh heh heh.”When Snow White pressed a button adorned with gold leaf on the interface, a door appeared in front of them and a marble plate next to it.

The marble plate was a counting plate that could check the record ranking in the middle.

When they opened the door that had been created, they came out of the entrance of a wide bridge that stretched across a deep and wide canal.

Across the bridge was a splendid and huge fortress surrounded by canals.

[You have entered the dungeon ‘Hall of Heroes’.][Take out the boss monster on the top floor.][You must hunt down all the monsters on the first floor to proceed to the second floor.][Remaining time 2 hours 59 minutes 56 seconds]

They ran to cross the bridge right in front of them.

First of all, today’s goal was to experience and record a lot of things to create a stepping stone for the next attack, so I rushed straight to the fortress to check as many things as possible.

Hoya and Arko, who are both tanks and dealers of this party, took the lead and entered the castle gate by kicking.

As soon as I entered, I saw a central staircase leading up to the second floor, a wide hallway running on both sides, and two large doors.

As all five of them entered, the entrance quickly closed with a bang.

From the long hallway and the large closed door, lifeless humanoid monsters wearing old maid clothes came out with weapons and began to attack them.

Some monsters threw kitchen knives and forks like daggers, and some monsters attacked with sharp and long nails.

It was a systematic movement in which the front and back were divided.

It was such a difficult opponent.

“Uh huh, if I’m wrong, I’m going to spend quite a long time here alone, right?”

“Hehe, it looks like it’s on the 5th floor, but if all the floors are like this, it would be difficult just to clear.

“thank you!”

Novesca fired her own arrow at the arrow that was aiming at Arko’s back and hit it accurately, offsetting the attack.

Novesca’s arrows flew with great accuracy.

“Down back!”

Beksul, Reister, and Arko, who were fighting while driving the monsters to one place after receiving Hoya’s signal, fell behind in an instant.

As they fell back, a big explosion occurred in the center of the monsters they had gathered and sent all the monsters away.

As the monsters flew and filled the empty space, other monsters flocked to it, but the overall number of monsters decreased significantly, making the battle more leisurely than before.

It took 38 minutes to clear the first floor, which was not bad for the first time.

Seol Baek-ho was able to check the entire dungeon faster than expected thanks to Hoya’s activity.

The types of monsters and traps on each floor, as well as the types and characteristics of boss monsters, have been identified.

It was a feat that was accomplished in three days.

From the 4th day, they tried to attack properly, but they were not able to proceed properly.

It was possible to progress up to the 4th floor with ease, but the boss monster on the 5th floor was a problem.
