- Tyring!

- We've arrived at the Dark Abyss.

- Entered the Land of the Dead.

- We have the threat of a middleman.

- The conditions are met.

…… shorthand…….

A dark grey land with a dark energy that cannot be found in saturation.

After a long time, Ian walked on the land of the commandment, looking slightly excited.

It's been a long time. ’

The Dark Abyss, where Ian and Hun now arrive, was the beginning for those who first arrived at the commandment.

It was the Dark Abyss that referred to all areas before entering Erebos, where the content of the full name began, or before crossing the River Acheron of Pain.

And the reason Ian got here and got wet was not something else.

I remember the first time I stepped on the land of the kingdom with only transcendent level 2 in the past because of the familiar landscape.

“Wow, something's changed a lot. ”

Ian muttered, and the Hun beside him smiled and replied.

“Of course. How long has it been since...... now only users residing in the system must be more than 10,000 units. ”

Ian nods when he hears Hun's answer.

Ian hasn't stepped foot in a commandment in months.

And since Ian's recent years had changed the most in the system, it was natural that the system was flooded with fame.

“Now, let's move. ”

“Where are you going? ”

“Of course we're going to Erebos. ”

“Then why did you come to the Dark Abyss? We could have gone to the Guild Gate in Erebos. ”

“I have someone I need to see. ”

“Hmm…? ”

After a curious look on his face, Ian starts walking fast along the path.

Ian and Hun's arrival at the Warp Gate was a public gate from the resistance of the Sorfice used by numerous users, and there was only one road from here to the Acheron River, so Ian did not hesitate to take a step.

But I also took such confident steps for a moment.

Has it been five minutes?

Ian had no choice but to lean back.

I thought I was on the right track, but I couldn't see the landscape in my head.

“I think that's the Acheron River, by the way...... Why can't I see the ferry? ”

Ian muttered, and Hun tilted his head and asked again.

“If it's a ferry...... Are you looking for Karen? ”

“Of course. We'll cross the river if we find it. ”

Then Hun, who listened to Ian, looked ridiculous.

“Oh my…… I guess someone brought me a new Newbie. ”

“Hmm…? ”

“How many people cross Acheron in a day, will he do it alone? ”

“Well, then…? ”

“Look over there. ”

“Huh?"

“It's not a ferry anymore, it's almost a harbor. ”

“ ……! ”

Ian's eyes widened as he turned his head in the direction he pointed.

Many large wooden vessels, no longer ferries, were anchored by the river.

"Did Caron just... get caught up in capitalism? ’

While Ian was living in a different dimension, the business owner, Carron, who ran a small ferry and earned 5 Death Coins, was an entrepreneur (?).

‘Well, it doesn't matter anyway. All I have to do is cross the river. ’

Then Ian went aboard the ship with Hun.

But fortunately,) What remained unchanged was that the boat's wages were still 5 coins.

- Tyring!

- I'm aboard Carron's ship.

- You don't have 'Death Coins’, so replace your paycheck with Dimensional Coins.

-Five dimensional coins have been deducted from the payroll.

Soon after Ian and Hun boarded, the ship began to move.

And Ian, on the boat, was once again an interesting face.

"These NPCs are amazing. ’

The ship was guided by NPCs who looked like skeleton ghosts, instead of by a knight in shining armor.

Moreover, when he got on the front line, Ian had to admire it again.

‘Look at the ship's performance. ’

The crossing of the Acheron River, which used to have to sail for a long time before, was ending in an instant because of the speed of a wooden ship like a gunshot.

But in fact, this change in the ferry is because, as Ian predicted, Karen became obsessed with capitalism.).

However, due to the discomfort of crossing the Acheron River to the ferry and the grim and horrific atmosphere, many complaints were the result of beating up LB's planning team.

Regardless of the reason.

Thanks to the high-performance wooden vessel, Ian and Hun were able to cross the Acheron River quickly.

- Tyring!

- across the Acheron River.

- Entered Erebus.

First, Ian steps off the ship, looking for someone to look around.

“Hmm, hasn't it come out yet? ”

“What are you looking for? ”

“There's someone I'm supposed to meet. ”

“So who...? ”

Hun, who asked Ian again, stopped speaking.

The moment he asked, a familiar face suddenly appeared in front of two people.

“Oh, Ian! When did they get here? ”

“Haha, I just got off. The commandments changed so much, I thought I'd come to the wrong place at the wrong time. ”

The man in the Black Robe, in front of Ian and Hun.

It was Mark Oliver, not just who he was.

* * *

When the first commandment was opened.

The first guild that had captured a lot of content in the system was Lotus.

He would have, because Ian was the first person to step on the commandment, and Ian was also the one who gathered a lot of information while wandering around Erebos before he was threatened by the middleman.

If you did not win the content in Lotus with the best power, it was rather a curious level.

However, based on the progress of the famous content now, the progress of the Lotus Guild was very low.

Although the criteria of 'child’ was compared to the top guilds, of course.

“Thanks for your help, Oliver. ”

“You're welcome. About this much between friends. ”

Rather than dominating the content of the Merchant and Spirit Realm, Lotus was forced to give up the content of the Commandments to some extent.

And that's why Ian asked Oliver and the Valor Guild for help.

Whereas Lotus has not yet crossed Phlegethon, the third river in Erebos, the ‘Balor’ guild belonging to Mark Oliver was already attacking Lethe, the last river of oblivion.

That's why your next-door friend (?) If he used his connections with Oliver to apply the guild, Ian decided that he would be able to shorten his time even more until he obtained his goal, the 'Wings of Ghost’.

And one more thing.

When the Baller guild accepted Ian's request so easily, there was clearly an effect of Ian's undertaking.

‘Haha, I knew that the Baller Guild was friends who knew Givén Takes. ’

It was Ian who helped the Valar Guild participate in the World War, which had no major share in the Spirit System.

Of course, even if the spirit system wanted to survive until Ian completed all the episode related quests, the Baller Guild's reinforcements were desperate.

As a result, Ian took a lot more from the guild, so I erased the debt.

And at least the guild master, Arcane, was aware of that.

“I sucked honey from a World War II episode, which shouldn't be too hard. ”

“Hehe, I didn't think the master would come out personally. ”

“I think a lot of fun will happen if you follow Ian. ”

As a result, Ian greeted some guild members, including Arcane and Oliver, and immediately began to move somewhere along them.

Ian and his companions follow the winding forest path of Erebos to a more grim place.

And did he move it for about 20 minutes?

Ian's two pupils were slightly enlarged when he arrived somewhere following the guidance of the Valler Guild.

A strange structure with enormous dark power appeared in Ian's vision.

“Come on, this way. ”

“What is this…? Like a portal? ”

“Well, it's a similar concept. ”

“ ……? ”

“The Dark Hole, a warp gate that can only be used within the Erebos. ”

Two gigantic boulders soaring.

In between, the whirlpool is dark and dreary, the fog and the air flow.

Ian, who swallowed some dry water for a moment because of his strange appearance, soon stepped slowly inside the gate.

And the moment Ian's foot touched the inside of the gate.

- Tyring!

- You have entered the Dark Hall.

- By the air of death, to the appointed place.

Goooooo-!

With a gigantic sound, Ian's vision began to darken.

* * *

“Hmm, did I fail again today? ”

“I can't help it, Master. Let's go back.”

“Just a little more and I might be able to move on...... This is too bad. ”

“It's better to move safely than to rest your soul... when you're overwhelmed, Master." ”

“Yes, Threekes. You're right. That's all for today. ”

A deep, serene, deep abyss of dark military blue that seems like it will be sucked in just for a moment.

The two men who were having a conversation in front of the dark abyss swam out of the water as they turned around.

- Tyring!

- out of the influence of Lethe, the river of forgetfulness.

- The curse of all oblivion is lifted.

-The transcendent level will be restored.

-The information of all unique abilities will be restored.

…… shorthand…….

Two men walking out of the water with a sad look on their faces.

Their identity was Gabriel and the guild member Srikes, guild masters of the Gesto guild.

“Phew, but now I'm getting a sense of attack. ”

“That's right, Master. I think I can make it this month at the latest. ”

Gesto Guild is a guild rooted in South American servers, one of the top ranker guilds.

Although they met Calderas in the Knight War and were eliminated from the 16th wave, the guild's strength or potential is a powerful guild that ranks in the top 10 places in the world.

Moreover, the Gesto Guild, which has devoted almost all its power to the system, was as fast as Calderas.

“I have to cross the Rette before Kai does.... ”

“I'll gather as much information as I can, Master. ”

“I heard you don't see a lot of Human Factions lately? ”

“Human factions are the only ones who have made it this far... haven't they all been at war lately? ”

“I did.”

“It's time to start reappearing. ”

Unlike other dimensional systems that are heavily targeted by one faction, the system has nearly half as many users of the Human and Horse factions as it is of the other.

For this reason, in the system, the movement of the opposing faction's power was the most important thing to pay attention to when running the content.

“Before they come back, we'll make it over the Rette somehow. ”

“Are there any? ”

“If they find the Gate of Oblivion, it could be more difficult than I thought. ”

As they spoke in a low voice, Gabriel and Srikes glanced around and quickly tore the scroll.

Aah! Aah!

Then the two shadows disappeared somewhere without going with the deep blue air currents.

And when they disappeared, the calm riverside of Rette was all that was left.

Shortly thereafter, new shadows began to emerge.
