Steel Eating Player - A Player Who Eats Steel

Shanghai was once the most prosperous city in China.

A densely populated area with the largest population of humanity, home to more than 24 million people, and a large city full of towering skyscrapers ... ... But now, the city is transformed into the kingdom of the Black Orcs.

Without stopping the third wave, the wave was finally eroded and differentiated.

The result is a geographically ridiculous change from a warm and humid climate to a dry steppe climate. However, environments like the Mongolian desert have never been seen on Earth.

It was a land of beasts where rats the size of elephants and buffalo-sized spiders appeared, and it was an incomprehensible land where all kinds of poisonous grass grew like reeds and lightning strikes from time to time.

After erosion, the Chinese government tried to restore it several times, but to no avail. And now, I'm actually just getting ready when they let go of their hands and push them out of Shanghai ...

Now, this strange area is controlled by the world boss monster, Stonox, king of the Black Orcs.

Now, two cars are running towards him.

Ooh—oh—

It was the official car of the 59th Department of the People's Republic of China. This is a secret department that is not known to the public, and their main task is to interact with the Black Orc Kingdom in Shanghai, namely diplomacy with monsters.

"Manager, you can see the Red Mokjangseong Fortress in front."

Hearing the words of the driver, Manager 59, Wangpyeong, who sat in the passenger seat, raised his head.

In his eyes, a red barrier, as high as 7 meters, surrounding the old city of Shanghai appeared.

It was the border of the "kingdom " founded by the Black Orcs.

"A little — all are nervous, because there is no law or recognition more than that ... ... As their car approaches, a large door on one side of the barrier starts to open slowly.

Kugugugu—

"after ... Now, from now on, we enter the den of the black devil. "

So they entered the Orc realm, and then ... ...

"Hmm...."

For two hours in the hut, I was waiting for someone.

No, the decor is like a hut, but this is the first floor lobby of the 60-story building where Starbucks was originally located. The new ruler, the Black Orc, turned human buildings into wandering huts.

"Ugh, I tried to hold it in, but I'm not kidding, but this ... ... "

"Damn, didn't the Orcs even take a shower for the rest of their lives? "

Because humans also have a distinctive aroma for each race, the scent of other races is very disgusting.

"Hey, everyone will want to keep their mouths shut. If you don't want an ax on your head. "

Their leader Wang Ping laughed when he said that. But it's not a joke, it's real.

He knows more about Orcs than anyone else, because he visits more than just this Redwood Wall.

"I will ask for a duel instead of hitting my head, but if you are at your level, I will lose unconditionally. "

Still, because they are all class B players or higher, I'm sick of being sick in a one-on-one fight with normal monsters that aren't boss monsters.

But here, I already know that the Orcs that guard the South Gate of the Red Farms Wall are monsters that are equivalent to class B warriors, and sometimes mix with class A or higher.

"So, despite the dispute, I will pretend I don't know, and even if I see blood, I will be buried without rumors. The fact that we came here from the start should not be known by others. world, you know? "

It is a quite controversial issue that a player from a country visits the world of monsters.

Jerk— Jerk—

At that moment, when heavy steps approached them, they closed their mouths without saying anything first.

Immediately, a black monster appeared, passing through the tent that surrounded them.

Height 2m 60cm, thick muscular body that humans cannot have, black skin, large ivory, and red eyes ...

The appearance of the devil that appears in the legend seems to have reappeared before their eyes.

gulp-

These players have fought countless bloodshed battles with all kinds of terrible monsters, but at this moment, I feel my body shrinking without my knowledge.

Tongue –!

The Black Orc threw a giant ax and placed it on the floor.

An object made of extraordinary material, the marble floor cracks just by placing it.

Black orcs — Smakt's red-eyed warrior leader, turned to Wang Ping.

"Wangpong ..."

It felt like the skull was ringing just by standing in front of it, and the sound coming out of the big ringtone.

"Long time no see, Warrior Sumakt."

"Yes, I want to ask you one thing. "

That is the point. Wangpyeong knew that these tribes did not have original chatter.

"Yes, you say. "

"Do you humans consider meeting with a group as a game and say that you accept a mission? "

That is a question that makes no sense.

"Yes that's right. "

"Maybe we get something similar. "

" ... Yes? "

"Not long ago, our shaman took our way and the king agreed. "

Wangpyeong tilted his head to hear words that were difficult for him to understand.

At that time, the Black Orc named Sumak threw something on the table.

bang-

That is the key. Brass geometric patterns carved with great precision ... ...

Wang Feng took the key.

-You have obtained 'secondary key ' from ancient heritage.

Ancient heritage, I cannot guess what it means.

At that time, Sumact added a word.

"Laputa, you know that flying islands appear on small land above the ocean, right? "

"of course ... ... ."

"That is the key to achieving it. "

And....

-(!) The search has arrived.

'Uh, search?'

[Hidden Search]

- Pathway 'followers ' ancient civilizations ... ...

You have come into contact with ancient heritage instructions with special opportunities.

That special item will take you to the glory of the past.

However, you must choose one of two roads, be loyal to 'heir ' ancient heritage to obtain authority 'servant ', or by killing 'heir ' ancient heritage to rob 'heir '. .

* Do you want to accept this mission? (Y/T)

In context, this is Laputa in the Seoul sky, and the mission involved there is clear.

'Why is this here ... Oh, no way! '

Black Orcs, including Sumact, are intelligent monsters, so if you think of them as a game, you can think of them as 'NPC'. In other words, Wang Feng interpreted that the Black Orc was giving him a mission at this time.

"A few days ago, the dwarves, as the dwarves called, opened 'door' to our land and appeared."

Dwarves, Wangfeng has heard the name of the race several times.

'According to a report from the Ministry of Information, a small group of dwarves have appeared in Russia and Australia. '

One by one like this, monsters with intelligence comparable to humans have sprung up all over the world.

"When we kill them, the key comes out, and at that moment, the shamans are given a kind of " forecast ". It is said that the Laputa builder will recover 〈War Weapons 〉 our ancestors who were robbed by Laputa builders long ago ... ... "

In other words, with the advent of Laputa, a race of dwarves began to emerge, and the Black Orcs were also given certain 'goals and began to move.

Like this, if the winding of simultaneous and special phenomena ... ...

' ... ... That means a major event will begin.'

Wang Feng felt that this series of events took place in one large stream.

"Well, by the way, Sumact ... what is the reason for giving this to us? "

"What we ask of you is very simple. Laputa, we play together. "

Saying we're playing together, is this suddenly bullshit ...

Wang Feng tried to hide his surprise and face Sumakt.

" ..."

His red eyes don't have good movements.

"At least it's not a joke. "

This cruel race does not know how to joke ... ...

"Well ...well, we don't think we have a good reason for that ...."

Laputa appeared on Korean soil. Therefore of course it is owned by Korea.

To reach that place ... ... Needless to say, that means war.

"Oh, is that so? Laputa, don't you want to own the island? "

" ..."

"You can't hate it, if you say yes, it's really a lie. "

Sumakt laughed when he first revealed it.

"Wang Feng, to be honest, isn't that big island a treasure that you and humans want to have? "

"Especially, if your kingdom falls while dreaming of being the best in the world, it will be even sadder ..."

Wang Feng nodded reluctantly.

'After all, these black Orcs are very evil. '

It is known that they are savages and ignorant, but that is a lie.

No, of course at first. A battle race that knows nothing but fighting and conquest ... ...

However, when intelligence was first designed, intelligence quickly absorbed human knowledge.

"And they fought us several times and they understood our situation very well. "

As Sumakt said, China is at a dead end, or even now.

Immediately after the first wave hit California, the United States was shaken and China took over.

However, in a few years, a second wave occurred in Shanghai and rocked all of China.

But losing Shanghai is only the beginning ...

"We fought an all-out war for three years to restore Shanghai. But a big failure ... ... '

As a result, China lost 4 class S players, 25 class A players, and 2,355 other players. In contrast, the Suzhou region was looted, causing a sharp decline in national power.

Meanwhile, several countries, including Korea, are growing rapidly.

But some time ago, waves occurred in Seoul.

'then ... ... our government is calling for pleasure without realizing it. '

than expected.

'If this is a class C dungeon, the average size is approximately the size of Jeju Island. '

Therefore, finding "hidden stage " in it is no different from finding a needle on a sandy beach.

'But like a puzzle, there are clues everywhere. '

However, Lee Hyun-wook is familiar with the mechanism of "puzzle " found in the basement.

He told his team-mates to look for the body orc. The reason why hidden missions appear immediately after wiping them out is because it can be interpreted that the 'trigger ' mission trigger is activated at a moment's notice.

In the....

"Captain Lee, I found a strange object here! "

Lee Jung-jun found something. He approached Lee Hyun-wook and gave it.

"Well, it looks like a clock, but what is it used for? "

-Acquisition of Unknown Mechanism (Special).

[Item information]

-Name: Unknown

-Effect: Unknown

Something like a mechanical device embedded in a circular metal frame the size of a palm.

At that time, Lee Hyun-wook felt a certain deception.

'This ... ... I've seen something exactly the same as this. '

Because Lee Hyun-wook had seen such items several times, he quickly learned how to use them.

He raised it towards the sun.

Uh–

Then, like a prism, sunlight penetrates and spreads widely, and shadows appear on the floor.

– Congratulations! You find 'instructions ' from the hidden stage.

The shadow is a kind of map, and the road to the hidden stage seems quite detailed.

"Oh, how can you realize it so fast? "

I am greatly admired by an unexpected person — Park Moo-han, leader of the Cheonghwa Guild attacking team.

After he witnessed Lee Hyun-wook's abilities, he began to obey without thinking.

Then, hope for a joint attack. Simply put, I want to go with me.

' ... ... Suddenly, you must be careful because there may be different inner feelings. '

And that's possible, Lee Hyun-wook, trying to see his abilities up close.

'That must be one of the things that Yu-na ordered ... ... In this situation, it was quite good. '

When Lee Hyun-wook looks for "hidden stage ", it will be difficult if the Cheonghwa Guild tries to attack the cellar. Therefore, Lee Hyun-wook gladly accepted Park Moo-han's cooperative strategy proposal.

'Because it's impossible to hide its power, you just need to show a few numbers. '

Thus, the two guilds crossed the desert together.

Ooh ooh ooh—

Lee Hyun-wook only stores one airdrop device and puts the rest in the trailer.

It doesn't make sense to operate 12 at first, no matter how many 'ether machines there are.

Each airdrop device consumes 50 mana per second. So I couldn't air it for a few minutes, but I just wrote it all 12 ... ... To be honest, it was to defeat the spirit of the Cheonghwa Guild attacking team.

'Well, it looks like the intention was successful. '

How long has it been since you moved like that ...

"There's something in the dune there! Something in the form of a triangle! "

On the map that you saw some time ago, there is a triangle sign near the entrance of the ruins.

'In other words, there is an entrance to the ruins nearby.'

Lee Hyun-wook immediately launched "fugin" and searched the entire area.

' ... ... There is something on the sand bottom.'

In the middle of a flat desert, I felt a huge chunk of metal.

'If it was a chunk of metal this big, I might find it even if I didn't take the Hidden Quest ... '

Lee Hyun-wook made Living Armor to dig sand nearby.

Then, he managed to dig a circular iron gate with a diameter of 4 m.

-You have contacted the hidden stage 'North Gate of the Gnome Ruins A3'.

* Three '' marks are needed to open the gate.

However, there are restrictions on entry.

That's a sign ...

"Lee, team leader, there are 3 grooves here..... Do you think the item you got was in it? "

As Lee Jung-joon said, there are three circular grooves next to the door.

Lee Hyun-wook puts a mechanical device with a map in one of its grooves.

Scream

Then the circular iron door moves slightly counterclockwise, locked properly.

"But... do you need two more to open the door, where can I get this? "

Yes, to enter the hidden stage, you need to get two 'signs ' again.

Everyone feels ashamed.

"Well, it just came out by catching the Orc ... Isn't it possible we have to fight again? "

"Huh huh ... This will be a difficult journey. Maybe you should catch the monster boss. "

However, Lee Hyun-wook thinks differently.

'Wait a minute ... ... This is the place you've seen, right? Ruins A3 ... ... '

Only then did Lee Hyun-wook realize the identity of the "demonstration " that he felt some time ago.

'That is the hidden stage that we attacked in our previous lives. This ... ... This is a hidden map that has the same theme. '

This map 'Hidden Stage ' is usually not connected to just one dungeon.

There are cases where several basements with similar themes share one hidden stage.

'It's like a hidden stage that I found in the basement where I got the Hephaestus runway. '

In this dungeon, 'Hephaestus' hammer appeared. And Lee Hyun-wook then attacked the dungeon where "The foundation of Hephaestus" appeared, and at that moment he discovered this "hidden stage ". So, the cellar associated with the Hephaestus item shares this hidden stage.

In other words, that means it was a dungeon that was once attacked by Lee Hyun-wook.

'This coincidence ... ... Very good.'

He looked at the door slowly.

A large circular iron door, tightly locked with eight hinges.

Ig contacted one of them.

And-

'Shredding! '

Can be–!

The hinges were destroyed and the thick iron gate shook.

At the same time, a line of red messages floated before everyone's eyes.

– warning! If you entered incorrectly, there might be a 'penalty'!

"Well, wait a minute! May I do this? If I carelessly ignore the system warning message ...."

Park Moo-han felt the system's message wasn't scary, then went out to carry Lee Hyun-wook.

Can be–!

However, Lee Hyun-wook, ignoring Park Moo-han's words, began to destroy his hinges one by one.

Can be–!

Moo-han Park was forced to take his face and retreat slowly.

"The leader of this team! No matter how great you are, this is a big problem ... ... "

Park Moo-han was able to feel intuition through various attacks. The troublesome "puzzle " does not exist without reason. If you try the wrong way, you will be punished for being unable to easily bear.

However, Lee Hyun-wook carelessly tore his hinges whether he noticed it or not ... ...

Can be–!

Immediately, the last hinge was torn.

Then he raised his hands, and a heavy iron gate loomed into the air.

Ku-goo-goo-goo-—!

The ruins door opened like that — cold wind blew from the depths of darkness.

Wow, woo—

– warning! You opened the ruins the wrong way!

* Retribution (ancient guard group) is given!

"Damn, come on, run! "

Park Moo-han shouted thus to my teammates.

"Uh-uh-"

Then, all the Cheonghwa guild members hid behind the trailer, stopping. No one else, except level 1 B players who feel embarrassed, so there is clearly something unbearable.

"What? What started? "

Responding to the reaction, even hopeful guild members felt ashamed and backed away.

However, Lee Hyun-wook still stood tall in front of the ruins entrance.

'The sentence of this dungeon ... ... The machine looks like a gnome dungeon, founder of hextech.'

Ki-li-li-li-li-!

Immediately, strange screams could be heard from in the dark,

Ki-li-li-li-li-!

It was the sound of something tons of tons, crawling to the floor.

And soon they reach a place that is affordable to sunlight, and their identity is revealed.

Ki-li-li-li-li-!

It was a scorpion made of steel — a group of scorpions that might number in the thousands.

'And the engine ... ... it's made of metal.'

Lee Hyun-wook raised his left hand towards the place.

"Tear off —!"

Good-bur-bur-bur-bang-!

The so-called punishment starts to explode when it melts when it falls to the ground.

His debris scattered in all directions, piling up like white shells in red sand.

Good-bur-bur-bur-bung –!

Members of the Park Moo-han and Cheonghwa guilds, who hid behind the trailer, saw it blankly. That

How many minutes have passed like this ...

"Now safe. Come on in."

So, the sentence ended in vain.

"Ah ... ... "

Park Moo-han saw the scene with an empty expression.

Meanwhile, Lee Hyun-wook enters the hole with 12 live armor in front of him.

-You have entered the ruins of gnomes (A3).

At the same time, I remembered the memories of my previous life — when I attacked this hidden stage.

'If you defeat the guard guarding the center of the ruins, there are two doors behind it. '

Here, "keeper" is a concept like a monster boss in the rubble.

'But at that time, I could only open one door. '

And behind that door, there is the "legendary class " item.

'That is why I am very curious about other doors that I cannot open. Is this a myth class? ... .'

That's why I tried to open the door in various ways for several months, leaving the basement open without closing it, but no matter what method I used, in the end I couldn't open the door.

Lee Hyun-wook touched "the main key to ancient heritage " in the inner pocket.

'This is the key to achieving it. '

Otherwise, Hidden Quest will not be triggered.

Lee Hyun-wook felt his heart pounding after all this time, thinking of witnessing a secret that he could not reveal even in his previous life.
