This well balanced and sharp Podao was one of the more useful items out of the ones you can get in the beginning.

It wasn’t a great weapon but compared to the ones that lost their edge with a few swings, it was much better.

With the dagger attached inside and the Podao attached by his waist, his whole body had multiple scars.

Since he rushed in order to end it fast.

Hansoo, who had finished his basic preparations, thought of the things he needed to do at this moment.

‘Firstly… I won’t be able to meet them.’

He was a 1st year adventurer.

On the other hand, Keldian, Kangtae and Eres were 19 to 20 years adventurers.

Since they started 20 years ahead, they were probably running way ahead of him.

So Hansoo thought of the next thing.

‘Well telling them about the Abyss is rejected.’

The dimensional corrosion of the Abyss was sped up depending on how much the corroded dimension knew about the strength, intel and skill of the Abyss.

Like ink spreading in the water.

If intel about the Abyss were to spread, the invasion of the Abyss will start earlier.

‘First, strengthening myself is of utmost importance.’

He was here to change the flow of water.

But the strength to change that flow of water was the start and of utmost importance.

And with that Hansoo thought of his friends.

Eres, Kangtae and Keldian.

It was planned that they were to all return together with him.

Unlike him, who had become strong by struggling intensively, their every action was close to a guidebook.

And their survival was because of their strength.

‘How did they say they did it?’

They told him in the past.

How they got strong in the beginning.

Eres told him.

‘Rejected.’

It didn’t fit his personality and more than anything one needed to be at the level of Eres to do that.

Next is Keldian.

And Keldian ate all the runes as he quickly rushed out.

‘In my view Keldian might have stimulated them a little.’

But Hansoo shook his head.

There was the words of Eres and him, who had come to save the humankind, doing that sort of thing is absurd.

And there was more bad than good on the long term if that were to happen.

If you kill somebody a rune will appear but it didn’t mean that the person who took the rune will become as strong as the dead person combined with them.

Since runes didn’t drop in large numbers.

In reality, the man who died earlier had more than 20 together if you combined his strength and stamina but the only thing that was dropped was a strength rune.

If you see from the point of a society, coexistence was the answer. That was the reason why Eres, who had included everyone, was able to stay as a leader until the end.

More than anything else if he were to think of his plans, killing a person to get a rune is forbidden.

It might be different if they were to kill though.

‘How did Kangtae say he did it?’

‘….this doesn’t help either.’

His luck was too good.

Agility was one of the most useful stats out of the beginning stats.

The increase of reaction speed allowed one to easily dominate over others.

And there should be a limit to how lucky one can be, killing a tutorial goblin and getting a regeneration rune.

The methods of those 3 did not fit him.

Actually, their methods were a bit lacking.

He needed a way to leap over their standards and rush forward with dominance.

And Hansoo knew about that.

‘Something like this existed.’

A long time ago, one of his comrades from the Final Brigade told him.

The tutorial area where 10,000 people were trapped for 3 months.

In this place, there was a hidden dungeon.

For a beginner, the difficulty was out of the question. So getting to the end was a failure. But just getting to that point will allow one to have an immense headstart that cannot be compared to others.

He, who had only gotten to the halfway mark after a long struggle, got strong enough to the point of becoming one of the Final Brigade.

Becoming one of the Final Brigade meant that one was within the top 100 strongest people of mankind.

And for that, it was one of the most important location for the tutorial area.

This world was not fit for mankind to survive but one thing was clear.

Something that was harder, seemed close to impossible will grant a larger reward when completed.

‘First, I must gain that.’

Hansoo made his primary goal.
