Chapter 202: Forever Land (1)

One side of the empty food court was converted into a makeshift conference room. The participants were Guild members who were Vice Team Leaders or higher, along with the additional two guests.

Theyre pretty good on these things.

The two guests werent being included because they were more powerful or of a higher level than normal Guild membersit was because they were outsiders. They had a chance to voice their dissents if they disagreed with the Guilds decisions. After all, every Player had the right to prioritize their own life above anything else.

There are twenty-eight, Shin Sung-Hyun. Twenty-eight rides in the park.

Thats a lot, someone said.

Shin Sung-Hyun nodded. Were lucky.

They all understood what he meant.

Its a good thing that there are enough rides.

Of course, so did Seo Jun-Ho. Eighty Players had entered the Dungeon.

If any more people joined, we wouldve been in trouble.

Forever Lands guide map showed the names, locations, difficulty, and the maximum number of participants for each ride. In other words, there were enough rides for every Player to ride in.

Isnt this too easy?

All we have to do is stand in line and ride the ride

I feel a little uncomfortable because this used to be a real amusement park, but other than that, it seems easier than I thought.

We dont even need to cut in line...

Even though the Dungeon had a strange theme, Goblins members didnt seem scared at all.

...Is it because of their faith in him?

They looked at Shin Sung-Hyun with boundless, glowing faith. And as a leader should, he rewarded their loyalty. There are five rides of the highest difficulty that require one rider. Ill take care of them.

Oohhh.

After he made the first decision, the rest of the assignments went smoothly. Following the Vicemaster Jang Kyung-Hoon, the Team Leaders each chose a ride they were confident they could clear or otherwise simply wanted to experience.

Except for one

Captain Gong. I dont think youve mentioned which ride you will take, Shin Sung-Hyun said.

I-Ill just take anything she said.

Then Ill leave you with the four-person haunted house

Eek, no! She immediately refused. Everyone turned to stare at her. Um WellIts not like Im slightly scaredOf ghosts she said in a small voice.

Then how about the safari?

Oh? They have one here? I like animals. Ill take it!

Shin Sung-Hyun turned to Seo Jun-Ho, meeting his eyes. I know it may be difficult, but will you go with Captain Gong?

Of course

Thank you for cooperating.

After he finished assigning most of the members their own rides, the Guildmaster spoke to them once more. No matter what happens, do not cut in line or give up halfway through, he said.

Of course not. Theres no reason to, is there?

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

You all got that, right? Just follow the rules, and we can clear this safely.

The Players here were Rankers. They were confident that they wouldnt bog down the conquest.

We should get going. Gong Ju-Ha grabbed Seo Jun-Hos arm and stood up. A man and a woman followed them.

Im supposed to go with you, Princess.

Hullo! You look like a small little sparrow. Im also on the team![1]

Hae-Wons a team member, but who are you? Gong Ju-Ha said, narrowing her eyes at the skinny man.

Im Gasman. As he spoke, he pulled up his sleeve. There were black holes in his arms, and they puffed as they released green smoke in unison. If you ever need gas, just say the word.

...Ooh-kay, she said, sounding a little annoyed.

Gasman pulled his sleeves down. Speaking of safaris, do you like animals, Seo hyung?

...Seo hyung?

Yes, isnt your surname Seo, Jun-Ho hyung?

In the blink of an eye, he became a hyung. Do you know how old I am? he asked.

Cmon, anyone whos stronger than you is a hyung in this line of business. Hahaha. I can tell just by looking at you that youre stronger than me. Gasman laughed heartily.

The Frost Queen returned from wandering the park, carrying cotton candy with her. On the other hand, she was holding a teddy bear, which was the mascot of Forever Land. Seo Jun-Ho wondered where she got it from.

That man looks as thin as a stick. I do not think we would get along, she declared.

...Hey, where did you get the cotton candy? Dont just eat it carelessly.

Im a Spirit, do you really think I would die? I want to eat it. As she glared at him, Gong Ju-Ha turned toward them.

What did you say? she asked.

...Its nothing. Lets go.

Ahhhh! A scream came from above. As the four of them turned to look up, they were stunned into silence.

Kill them! Kill them all!

Dont let them get close!

Im telling you, its hard to move because of the damn safety bar!

As the rollercoaster shot by them like a bullet, Seo Jun-Ho finally spoke, So thats what it is.

Ugh Thats too much. I hate this! Gong Ju-Ha whined, gripping her head. Mr. Jun-Ho, weren't those things crawling on the rollercoaster animal costumes?

Yes. To be exact, they were the mascots of Forever Land. With the bear at the lead as the main mascot, there had been a variety of animals, including a tiger, rabbit, mouse, and cheetah. They approached the Players by crawling on the rollercoaster.

Eek, we have to fight those things while on a ride? Gong Ju-Ha turned pale, and she looked like she was about to cry. Its too much. I am afraid of heights. Nooo

Haha, whats there to worry about? Theyre just dolls, cant you just burn them all? Gasman suggested.

Thats true, but

It didnt seem to cheer her up in the slightest. In fact, it seemed like he made it worse.

Hmmm As they spoke, the Frost Queen stealthily threw away the plushie. Seeing the rollercoaster made her uncomfortable.

Sigh.

Visit ., for the best no_vel_read_ing experience

Seo Jun-Ho calmed himself down. Between all these cowards, the only person he could trust was himself.

***

...Youre sure this is the place? Gong Ju-Ha asked carefully.

Yes. It says so on both the map and on the sign, Seo Jun-Ho replied.

...Am I the only one who finds it weird? The sign had <Real Horror Safari!> written on it. Why would you put horror in front of safari? Its awkward! Its weird! And it even says its real!

It probably means that there are a lot of carnivorous animals. Lets get in line. Of course, they were the only ones there.

Come on! Gong Ju-Ha protested. It didnt seem like she would move from her spot, but when the other three got in line, she sniffled and followed.

Im gonna burn them allIm gonna burn anything that comes close she whispered, unsettling her teammates.

So this is the safari car

The SUV had tiger stripes on it and had iron bars fashioned on the windows. The engine turned out to be powered by magic.

Darn it. I dont know much about this type of stuff. Magic engines had been developed while he was still frozen. Is there anyone who knows anything about magic engines? Seo Jun-Ho asked.

Oh, I know a bit. Once Gasman was done checking the engine and confirmed that there werent any problems, the four of them got in the car.

As the doors of the Real Horror Safari opened, the car moved forward. Jang Hae-Won was the designated driver because she wouldnt be of much help in battle as a healer.

W-were off, she mumbled. Once the car started moving, there was an announcement on the TV inside.

[The first area is the Amazon.]

The Amazon

Safaris usually have two main areas, right?

Thats right. The Amazon River and the Serengeti Plain, Gasman said, nodding.

What animals appear in the Amazon? Gong Ju-Ha asked.

Seo Jun-Ho answered. Anacondas, crocodiles, piranhas

Really? Thats not as scary as I thought...

Along with spiders and centipedes, Seo Jun-Ho finished.

Why did you save that for the end?! As Gong Ju-Ha yelped, the car suddenly stopped. Eek! Why did it stop?!

I-Im sorry, Princess! The brake jammed, and the engine Jang Hae-Won tried to get the engine going, but the car remained unmoving.

Gasman, didnt you say there werent any problems with the engine? Seo Jun-Ho asked.

T-Thats weird. It was fine when I checked it, he said, flustered. He got out of the car and checked the engine once again.

...

...

It had been as good as new just a few minutes ago. But now, it was rusty as if it had been in use for decades.

Seo Jun-Ho took in the dense, tropical air. I think were gonna have to walk.

What?! It said it would take two hours by car!

If we walk

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

It was impossible to tell how many hours it would take until they reached the end. Moreover, they were inside the safari. Who knew how many predators were lurking

We dont have a choice.

Huh? But the entrance is right there Jang Hae-Won pointed, but Gong Ju-Ha shook her head. Safety rule number 3. Visitors who do not enjoy the ride to the end will die.

Oh

Miss Ju-Ha is correct. We can only keep going forward, Seo Jun-Ho said. No one knew for sure how the penalties were enforced, but no one wanted to risk their life to find out. Before we leave, please burn that.

He pointed to the pile of brush he had made by cutting up the grass

I dont know why youre asking me to But okay. With a flick of her wrist, it set on fire.

Seo Jun-Ho stepped over the fire, covering his body with black smoke.

...What are you doing?

The most dangerous creatures in the jungle arent anacondas, crocodiles, spiders, or centipedes. Theyre bugs, especially mosquitos. The smell will make insects stay away. You should all do the same.

They seemed uncertain, but the party members obeyed without complaint.

Gasman looked at him in awe. Have you ever been to a jungle, Seo hyung? You seem pretty well-versed in this.

...I havent. He had actually been to a lot when he was Specter. He had cleared hundreds of Gates with many different environments.

Lets go. Seo Jun-Ho and Gasman took the lead, with Gong Ju-Ha and Jang Hae-Won trailing behind them. They skillfully cut through the thick brush and walked for about ten minutes.

All of a sudden, Seo Jun-Ho suddenly held up his fist.

Oh, its the signal to pause!

Did he sense something?

I-I dont know. I didnt feel anything

The other party members hadnt noticed anything, but Seo Jun-Ho crouched down and studied the ground.

It looks like something was dragged through here.

The tracks were thirty centimeters wide, much bigger than a cars wheels. They were also in a uniform S shape.

Only one animal could leave such tracks.

But the biggest problem is

They stopped at the tree right in front of them.

Get ready to fight.

Above them, the half-asleep anaconda opened its yellow eyes. As it moved, a shadow fell on the party.

What is that Why is it so big?

Are anacondas usually that big?

Of course not!

Sssss!

The 70-foot-long giant anaconda flicked its tongue.

1. He speaks with a slight Hamgyong accent, which is used in the northernmost parts of Korea and by Chinese-Korean people living near the border. It is not used in South Korea.
