The news of the dungeon swept through the Korean Peninsula like a wildfire.
[A+ Rank 2 Floor Dungeon discovered in Singung-ni, Nonsan!]
[The third A+ Rank Dungeon has appeared!]
[Will new legends be born!]
People were excited when they saw the news.
โThis is a legendary moment!โ
โIf youโre Korean, you better cheer for the Messiah Guild!โ
Everyone was looking forward to the great event, however, the big event they looked forward to, didnโt happen.
[The Phoenix Guild gives up to the opportunity to participate!]
[The Mir Guild gives up to the opportunity to participate!]
The only thing that the public received were announcements from the first rate guilds, renouncing the opportunity to take part in the dungeon hunt.
โWhat? Why are they refusing to participate?โ
โWhy is this reaction so different from last time?]
Everyone was confused by the exact opposite reaction from the guilds when compared to the attack on the โOrc Champion Dungeonโ. When that A+ Rank Dungeon had appeared in Busan, the guilds were quite eager to take part. However, the answer was soon revealed.
[The dungeon boss has been confirmed to be the Needle Snake!]
[The Needle Snake, the monster avoided by the world!]
Information about the Needle Snake was soon spread worldwide and everyone began to understand. However there were still those who argued.
โFucking cowards! I thought they were strong!โ
โWhen the monsters are a little strong, these โStrong Fightersโ all run and hide like rats.โ
โThose bastards who call themselves โHeroesโ are just full of air.โ
The accusations to the various celebrity players were vicious, claiming they only knew how to amass their own wealth and flaunt their paltry skills.
Of course, not everyone denied outright.
[Messiah Guildโs Participation is still being discussed.]
[Park Shin-hye โI will try to challenge the dungeon as soon as Iโm sufficiently prepared.โ]
Like the other guilds, the Messiah Guild had already decided to give up on the dungeon, however their strategy was much smarter and it could be seen from the publicโs reaction.
โGoddess Park Shin-hye has come out!โ
โOnly the Messiah Guild is brave and worthy!โ
People didnโt blame the Messiah Guild as they believed without a doubt, a doubt that they were intending to challenge the dungeon.
โTheyโll clear it.โ
Kim Woo-jin also didnโt doubt that the Messiah Guild would challenge the dungeon.
โAfter waiting for a good opportunity.โ
They had done it a year after the dungeon opened for a few reasons.
โThere is no one strong enough to beat it.โ
In the Messiah Guild, there was currently no member who could challenge the dungeon without a high risk of failure and death.
โSo thereโs no reason to try.โ
Even if there was someone who had a chance, if they went alone, while the reputation of Messiah Guild would go up, they wouldnโt be able to defeat the dungeon.
โIf I recall correctly, the dungeon was cleared next winter.โ
Of course, there was no reason to let them use this dungeon to increase their reputation. So Kim Woo-jin decided to clear the dungeon.
And so, he waited.
โIf the guilds give up their bid to challenge and theyโre unable to find 99 people to challenge the dungeon, then the opportunity will be shared with international players.โ
The Korean Government would eventually open their doors and let foreign players participate.
[The Korean Government allows foreign guilds to participate in the A+ Dungeon Challenge!]
And as Woo-jin expected, the doors were opened.
When the dungeon gates first appeared, countries all around the world gathered to sign a treaty. Among them, there was a clause concerning the challenge of dungeons.
For dungeons within their borders. Every country had the sovereignty to determine whether they wanted to challenge it or not, however, in the event that they didnโt intend to challenge the dungeon or were unable to fill the quota, it was agreed that theyโd open their borders, and let foreign players also participate in the attack.
In truth, it was a seldom used clause. There was no reason for players in Russia to travel to challenge a D Rank Dungeon even if players in Korea could not defeat it. However in the case of an A+ Rank Dungeon it was different.
Even around the world, it was very difficult for players to get the opportunity to challenge an A+ Rank Dungeon and it would be a lie to say that there werenโt many who wanted to take up the challenge. Regardless of whether it was the Needle Snake or Death snake that had never been defeated or if youโd have to be crazy to challenge it.
In Korea, there were maybe hundreds of so-called crazy people, but in the entire world, there were thousands of them.
[41 Foreign Players are confirmed to join the battle!]
[The recruitment of the 99 spots has been completed!]
[Will this hunt of the Needle Snake be the first to succeed!]
Thus, 41 foreigners had opted to join the attack on the dungeon.
Of course, Kim Woo-jin joined the attack as well, but he didnโt do it under the name of the Phoenix guild.
โMr. Isaac Ivanov, please step forward.โ
Isaac Ivanov, a Russian national belonging to the Mokosh Guild, that was Kim Woo-jinโs current status.
Looking at the appearance, there was no sign of Kim Woo-jinโs features anywhere, from the white skin, to the blonde hair.
โIโm going to need a mask like this for myself.โ
It was a sophisticated disguise prepared for him by Oh Se-chan.
While it wasnโt perfect, the ability of this mask was very good. Made with Doppelganger skin, the mask allowed itโs wearer to change their appearance and it was very difficult to see through.
What was more impressive however, was the forgery. While foreign players didnโt need a large number of identification documentation to access a dungeon, the ID of a player was still very hard to fake.
โThis wasnโt made specifically for me, Iโm sure there are many other identities I couldโve used.โ
It was obvious that Oh Se-chan had many such counterfeit identities as he had so easily given one to Kim Woo-jin.
โHe is amazing in many ways.โ
Woo-jin originally appreciated and estimated Oh Se-chan very highly, but even then it seemed that he had underestimated him.
There were two reasons why Oh Se-chan made Kim Woo-jin use a disguise to enter the dungeon.
For one, as the Phoenix Guild had publicly renounced their opportunity to enter the dungeon, the guild had forbidden the members from openly joining.
The other reason was to hide Kim Woo-jinโs skills. Oh Se-chan had learned just how amazing Kim Woo-jin was from Lee Jin-ah so he knew that if Kim Woo-jin entered under his own name and showed off his skills, he would immediately attract a lot of attention, both good and bad. So in order to not expose him, he arranged for Kim Woo-jin to use a fake identity.
โIโm pretty lucky.โ
Kim Woo-jin was actually grateful as he had already had a similar idea in mind.
Additionally, there was another person who was also using a fake identity.
โDammit! I canโt go on like this.โ
It was Lee Jin-ah, who stood beside Kim Woo-jin. He also had a mask that gave him white skin and blonde hair.
โThis mask is pretty cool, but itโs too annoying to eat.โ
Because of the mask, Lee Jin-ah couldnโt eat a chocolate bar as he usually did.
โWhat are you looking at?โ
Lee Jin-ah asked in a sharp tone as he saw Kim Woo-jin looking at him.
In response, Kim Woo-jin also asked a question,
โAre you nervous?โ
โNervous?โ
Lee Jin-ah let out a snort.
โIโm a man of steel, Iโve never been nervous since the day I was born. Never!โ
Though he said that, Lee Jin-ah was actually quite nervous as it was normal to be nervous in such tense situations.
โโฆThe Needle Snakeโ
The Needle Snake, the Snake of Death that had never been defeated before, now he must enter the dungeon to hunt it.
Once inside, they couldnโt return before defeating the Needle Snake.
โWhat about you huh? Are you nervous?โ
โYep.โ
Kim Woo-jin was also tense, but it was for another reason, compared to what Lee Jin-ah.
โIโm curious as to what will happen.โ
Woo-jin looked at an item in his inventory as he had this thought.
[Grim Reaperโs Mask.]

This item was the reason why Kim Woo-jin was tense.
โEven Johann Georg didnโt manage to get his hands on it.โ
A skill that even the King of Undead coveted was now in his control.
โAccess and Controlโฆโ
If he had this, then he was confident that he could destroy the Messiah Guild in three years. This made Kim Woo-jin feel tense and slightly excited.
โDonโt be worried man. Believe in me Lee Jin-ah, even if your personality is garbage, I never let my teammates down.โ
This was the reason Kim Woo-jin couldnโt relate to Lee Jin-ah, he was a bit too dumb.
โNow, shall we enter the dungeon?โ
And with that the two of them walked toward the dungeon entrance.
