Seeking a party!

Only available at night, vacancies available for Chamber of Horrors!

Looking for priest and warrior to capture the Slaughter Gardens!

Looking for a fellow buddy to hunt continuously for 24 hours on the weekend!

Receiving applications for an attack group to raid Necromancers Tower. Profit distribution is thorough. Users should be at least level 270, have 30 potions and at least 3 rare equipment.

Users were gathered like a swarm of cockroaches.The city Bread guided them to was 3~4 hours away from Hwaryong Mountain and called Paradon.Arks mouth widened at the sight of users gathered in front of the gate and Bread explained.

This city is the closest one to Kings Grave.

Kings Grave?

Eh? You dont know? It is a very famous hunting ground.

The Kings Grave were ancient ruins not far from Hwaryong Mountain. It was a quite widespread area and a suitable hunting ground for users level 200~300.So users always formed a party at Paradon and headed to the Kings Grave after equipment inspection. The party always returned with a lot of profit so the place swarmed with users.

Once I was almost living in that place.

Bread looked around with a nostalgic expression.

Ah, Bread hyung-nim!

Redian noonim is also here!

Hundreds of eyes concentrated on the pair after someone spoke. Then Ark and Breads group were swarmed by the cockroaches.

It has been a really long time!

Hyung-nim, do you remember me? The magician who previously hunted with you.

I managed to beat Naked Fist thanks to Hyung-nim. We managed to clear the area because you were our party leader.

Are you forming a raid party? Ill come whenever you call.

The users started talking from all directions that it reached a point where he couldnt understand anything.In fact, Bread was a legendary user in Paradon.The first time he was the leader of a party and entered Kings Grave, he managed to defeat the boss who scattered despair after a fierce battle! He also set the record for clearing all the areas in Kings Grave solo in the shortest amount of time.And Redian also had a similar amount of popularity.Bread and Redian were the strongest pair in Bristania. When he heard this, he thought it was lucky that he didnt receive more damage.

I was chased after by those two..its fortunate that this is over.

Then Buksil looked over and said.

Wow, Hyung-nim is a very famous person.

Huhuhu. Well, it is normal. Ive helped half of the people here.

Bread hummed and gobbled up the attention before Redian interjected.

Stop playing around. You were beaten to death by Ark just now

Beat to death? I was winning a few times

Bread muttered with a dissatisfied expression.

What? Bread hyung-nim was defeated in a duel?

What person managed to fight against Bread hyung-nim in a 1-on-1 fight and win?

Is that true?

Ah, thats right. I lost. It is this guy.

Bread indicated towards Ark and instantly hundreds of eyes concentrated on him. At the same time, Bread and Ark were flooded with a huge amount of questions.

Is it that person Bread hyung-nim?

What level are you?

What equipment do you have? What profession?

Have you joined a guild yet? Why dont you join our guild? Youll get VIP treatment!

Ark started feeling dizzy from the surge of questions. He had no idea how to respond to all the interest in him.

Ya, why dont you calm down? Everybody stop right now and disappear!

At that moment, Redian frowned towards the crowd and shouted. Then both her hands caught fire as she glared at the users.

Who dared pushed me? Dont you know how uncomfortable I feel? If you dont want to die than just go, yes?

Redian threatened the users who retreated.Then Bread went forward and saved the users.

Now, now! Stop. We have other business.

Phew, I survived.

Ark was amazed by Redians rough attitude but he managed to escape from the siege thanks to her. They left the players and entered Paradon where Bread sighed and muttered.

Hey, cant you control your temper?

Bah, what am I? Cant I express it if I dont feel good?

The atmosphere around Redian and Bread was getting a bit temperamental.

Whats not to like? Eh? .Is it that time of the month?

Do you want to die?

Redian said but her fist had already struck Breads jaw.Bread staggered before he suddenly smiled and spoke to Ark.

Ah that reminds me, dont you have a lot of things to put in order after hunting so much?

Eh? No.that..

What the hell? Why did the topic change so fast?Where was the reaction to being hit? He just got over it?However Bread just ignored Arks strange look and pointed to the clock tower.

There are plenty of things for Redian and I to do in the town. We should split up and gather again at 5 oclock. The place will be Camels Oasis. If you ask anybody in the central square then they will tell you. The alcohol at Camels Oasis is really delicious. If you taste it once then you would want to live there. So see you later!

Bread was turning around when Buksil shouted with shock.

Huck, Hyung-nim! Youre just going?

Huh? What? Ill see you soon.

T-thatlet me go with you!

Eh? Why?

Bread asked in an expressionless tone.

You have me japtem. Of course we have to go together to organize it. Isnt that right?

Ark stared at Buksil as he spoke.Bread was unable to sense the subtle atmosphere and just laughed.

I dont understand exactly but you cant come with me. I am going to spend some adult time with Redian.

Do you want me to hit you again?

Huhuhu, relax Anyway, lets meet at 5. At the Camels Oasis.

Bread dragged Redian into an alley.After Bread and Redian disappeared, Buksil looked around with worried eyes. Then blood drained from his face as he saw Arks wickedly gleaming eyes.

That..that..Ark-nim?

Huh? What?

Ark murmured as his lips slowly curved upwards.

Ah that reminds me, how was your week? But lets not talk here. If you want to settle the problem between us then it should be when no one under the age of 18 is around. So lets forget it for now. Well drink a cup of alcohol happily after finishing our business. Well, someday that problem will absolutely be settled. Come, lets go!

Ark just licked his lips and circled around Buksil and Baekgu.Ark had already devised a method to punish Buksil and Baekgu.It would relieve his stress instantly.

He intends to hide behind Bread? Lets see how long he can hold up. Ill make him tell me to kill him with his own mouth.

In fact, Arks purpose was more than killing him.Ark had a contract to pay Buksil 800 gold for the memory crystal! At the time it was urgent but now the situation was resolved. And the reason Buksil needed the 800 gold had come back alive.There was no reason to give him 800 gold.But Buksil wouldnt invalidate the contract obediently. Although he wouldnt destroy it now, lets see how long he can last.So Ark would create a horrifying atmosphere over Buksil and Baekgu that would make him want to get rid of the contract. Therefore Ark just stared at them before heading towards the shops.If the one sleeping stretched his foot than the one he hit wouldnt be able to sleep.He intended to make it so that Buksil couldnt sleep at all. Buksil and Baekgu jumped every time Ark looked at them so they were haggard by the time Ark entered the store.

Huhuhu, this is kind of fun?

Arks newly developed method of torture had another effect.

Hmm thats quite a lot, so how about 180 gold?

The shop keeper looked at the pile of japtem and made an offer.It had been a fortnight since Bosaga so he had a large pile of japtem from hunting. Of course, he excluded all the magic items or items with vague descriptions from the japtem.The goods sold to stores were only japtem.180 gold was a decent price for a fortnights worth of collecting. But Buksil shook his head and said.

What do you mean? Take a look at this! It should be 30 silver for one piece of this. And this too. Do you think this is our first trip? In addition, there is supposed to be an advantage when trading with goods of this magnitude. 185 gold!

Hah, but there is a decline in the market price these days. If I buy it and the market slumps then what will I do?

That is the risk you take when operating a store. 184 gold!

The merchants Bargain skill to convince NPCs would have different effects depending on the enthusiasm. But normally Buksil didnt care about the price received.No matter the price, his transaction skill would still increase. In addition, he wouldnt get a penny of it even if the Bargain skill raised the price offer. However this time his eyes were filled with a desire to get even 1 more silver and he rampaged using Bargain.Before that destined time came, he wanted to get into Arks good books a bit more.

Hah, this is

The shop keeper made an awkward expression as Buksil continuously used Bargain. Ark left the bargaining to Buksil and started looking at the shelves.

Ah, do you like this doll perhaps?

Huh?

Then lets do this. 180 gold and Ill include that doll.

The shop keeper said when he saw Ark looking at the doll on the shelf. It was a doll shaped like a rabbit.

-Poco Poco Doll (General)

In addition, there is a magic equipment inside which will allow the Poco Poco to make sounds and move. It also contains a crystal to record your voice.It is best given as a gift.
