Hyeonu defeated all the golems and passed through the passage to the next space, only to feel flustered.

Compared to the space where the golems had appeared, this space was very narrow.

It was because the books and other items that filled the space made it feel this way.

There was a blond man snoring in such a cluttered space.

‘Is he Johannes Hyeonu had this thought as he approached the man believed to be Johannes.

Hyeonus foot kicked a book.

‘Damn!

It was only one book, but the disaster it brought about was huge.

One wall full of clutter collapsed.

“It fell again This...” The blond man woke up with a frown before using his magic to repair the crumbling wall.

The blond man quickly finished his work like he had done it more than once or twice.

Only then did the man notice Hyeonus presence.

“Huh Who are you How did you get here Werent the guardians protecting this place”

“If youre referring to the golems, theyre all broken.”

“What You broke them Look at this crazy guy.

Who is this jerk How were you taught Whose hatchling are you Destroying the guardians I made! Stop ignoring the laws.” Johannes words poured out quickly like a rapper, but there was something a bit strange.

He seemed to have mistaken Hyeonu for another being.

‘Hatchling Isnt that usually a word used for a dragon Hyeonus face was pale as he pondered on Johannes words.

The laws, hatchling, and this mans words...

Summing up the three things, it seemed like Johannes was mistaking Hyeonu for a dragon.

‘Then am I now in a dragon lair Hyeonu got goosebumps all over his body.

A dragon lair...

Hyeonu thought this was a place for him to suck up honey, but it turned out to be a minefield.

Regardless of how strong Hyeonu was at present, it was still too much for him to go against a dragon.

The desert dragon, the variant he had hunted in Lipas desert, was just a giant lizard without any intelligence.

‘I can win against an orc, but a dragon... Thinking this, Hyeonu decided to use words to reduce the damage as much as possible.

“Im not a dragon.

Im an adventurer,” Hyeonu responded to Johannes words in a polite and courteous tone.

Johannes expression changed to one of embarrassment, anger, and curiosity.

“Eh Really You arent part of my clan How did an adventurer become strong enough to defeat my guardians”

“Im a bit unusual among adventurers.

I wouldnt have come in here if I knew this place was Johannes lair.

Im sorry I destroyed your guardians.”

Johannes waved his hand at Hyeonus repeated apologies.

“It isnt a big deal.

You dont have to apologize.

It is just annoying.

A dragon isnt an ogre.

We dont kill humans just because we feel like it.

By the way, why was I mistaken” Johannes spoke up to here and seemed to be thinking of something.

Then his face brightened when he finally remembered.

“Yes, it was because of that idiot Leons smell.

Did you meet a black-haired idiot a while ago He looks like he is one of the most annoying people in the world.”

As Hyeonu heard Johannes words, a face came to his mind.

It was the face of Leon Meyer—the man Hyeonu had met in a cave along with a demonic beast.

TheLeon that Johannes mentioned seemed to indicate him.

‘Leon Is he referring to the man I met in the cave on Bung Bung Island

“Leon... Ah, yes.

Ive met him,” Hyeonu replied in an unclear tone.

Johannes didnt care about this and only focused on the fact that Hyeonu had met Leon Meyer.

“Yes, this was why I was mistaken.

Im not an idiot like Leon.

I couldnt be mistaken for no reason.”

This was self-rationalization.

It wasnt that he was stupid.

He just made a mistake.

This was what Johannes seemed to be implying to Hyeonu.

Johannes wondered, “Then why are you here Dont adventurers usually hunt monsters or search for treasure There are plenty of monsters in the Balder Mountains.”

Following the line of his self-rationalization, Johannes questioned Hyeonu.

Hyeonu wondered for a moment about how to answer the question.

How should he answer it

‘I will do it directly.

Hyeonus choice was to say the truth.

He would just be logged out once if things went wrong.

“I was looking for something.

It should be a trail or a keepsake,” Hyeonu responded in a polite but unbending manner.

“Really Isnt this a bit interesting Tell me more.” Fortunately, Johannes seemed intrigued by Hyeonus words.

Hyeonu let out a small breath and continued to speak.

“It started with a book I came across.

I need to find the traces left by the owner of this book.

It says that the traces are somewhere in the Balder Mountains, so I came to find them.”

“Hmm...

This is the first time Ive heard of it.

It has been nearly 3,000 years since Ive settled here.

I dont know what has been happening in the Balder Mountains.”

Hyeonu saw the thoughtful Johannes and thought this dragon had an easier personality than expected.

‘He is a bit different from the dragons in other games.

Leon Meyer as well.

It is a bit like...

They feel like Yeongchan.

It wasnt just them.

This was the same for the other NPCs Hyeonu had met.

Lebron, Suped, the emperor, Tang-E, and so on—they were all high-ranking NPCs that normal people wouldnt be able to tell were different from players even after washing their eyes.

‘I think they are supposed to have a sense of vitality.

It can be called player friendly...

Hyeonu was busy thinking when Johannes reached out to him.

“Give me that book.

I should read it once.”

Hyeonu silently handed over the journal that Johannes asked for, and the latter read the journal with a serious expression.

“Umm...” A groan came from Johannes mouth as he read the journal.

Soon after, he finished reading the journal and handed it back to Hyeonu.

“I remember now.

It was 500 years ago.

There was someone from the East Continent who crossed the mountains.

I think you are looking for traces of that human.

Ah, right...” Johannes was unable to finish his words properly.

His expression seemed to become strange.

Hyeonu knew one person who made this expression before.

‘It is the same as before when Suped told me he damaged Laeks 10th stage.

“Did you remove the traces I will be grateful if you tell me the truth,” Hyeonu stated.

Once Hyeonu acted like he already knew, Johannes helplessly started to tell the story.

“How many years has it been My work wasnt going well, so I released my frustration at the mountains...

At that time, the peak that the human was staying on was blown away.”

Hyeonu was dumbfounded.

Getting rid of a mountain peak out of frustration… What was this ridiculous thing Then how was Hyeonu going to clear the quest

“Why dont you go directly to the East Continent” Johannes suggested to the flustered Hyeonu.

Hyeonus expression changed once more at Johannes words.

He still looked slightly flustered, but there was a slight smile on his face like he welcomed Johannes suggestion.

‘Will he send me directly to the East Continent

It was a deal that had to be accepted unconditionally.

No one had ever been to the East Continent.

It meant Hyeonu would be the first to do so if he went.

In Arena, thefirsts always gave a lot of benefits in terms of quests and rewards.

There was also a difference between first and non-first titles.

“It doesnt matter if I go to the East Continent as long as I can clear the quest.

However, is it hard to cross the Balder Mountains”

“It isnt hard to cross the mountains.

Of course, it isnt possible at your level right now.

The problem is that my clan made a barrier so that people cant cross the Balder Mountains.

It will be useless to climb the mountain range if you cant break the barrier.

Well, it doesnt mean anything since I can send you there.

I just need to adjust the barrier a bit.”

‘This means that even if the traces were intact, I wouldve had to eventually come to Johannes anyway, Hyeonu thought and felt it was a good thing.

He skipped a step in the middle and jumped to the end at once.

Bad luck quickly turned into good luck.

It really was a blessing in disguise.

“Then what should I do, Johannes” Hyeonu asked Johannes.

Johannes answer was simple.

“Is your heart ready”

“Huh”

“It is impossible for you to cross the Balder Mountains with your skill.

So I will send you there.

Isn\'t that right”

“Huh” Hyeonu questioned like he didnt understand.

However, Johannes was already in action.

“Then we will see each other again if it is meant to be.

Goodbye.”

“Huh” Hyeonu repeated.

Johannes waved his hand, and white magic power filled the space.

This magic power enclosed around Hyeonus entire body.

Then Hyeonu disappeared from Johannes residence.

***

“This is crazy! Doing things so randomly!”

After being teleported by Johannes, Hyeonu appeared in a forest he had never been to before.

He was certain about it.

The trees looked completely different to those found in the Balder Mountains and the Hejin Great Mountain Range, which were mainly broad-leaved trees.

There were many trees with flat and broad leaves in those areas.

However, the forest where Hyeonu had just appeared was a coniferous forest full of leaves that were pointy like a needle.

“All Arena magicians are like this.” Hyeonus dissatisfaction exploded.

It was very special to move through space without even chanting properly.

“Lick lick.”

Hyeonu turned his head to look at the source of the sound.

There, a familiar bear was eating leaves.

“Dude!! You are eating right now” Hyeonu had turned to find Tang-E attached to a tree and eating leaves.

“I need to eat to live.

I can only move when I have a full stomach.

Master dude should eat something as well.” After finishing his words, Tang-E was once again eager to eat the leaves.

“Lick lick.”

Hyeonu barely endured a sigh at Tang-Es appearance.

“Uh...

I have to endure it.

Then keep eating.

Ill take a look around.”

Leaving behind these words, Hyeonu started to search for the tallest tree around him.

He wanted to use the tree to look around.

‘I need a map...

The East Continent was an uncharted land that no one had ever been to before.

So, there was no map.

In Arena, maps were hand-crafted by rare classes such as explorers.

Then the maps were sold in stores.

Hyeonu stood on a tree and started to swear at Johannes.

“This Johannes...”

The view from the tree was no different.

All he could see was an endless forest.
