The World Turned into a Game After I Woke up Chapter 76

Translator: HunterW

Editor: RED

The fifteen-man healer party was talking among themselves loudly enough that I could overhear everything they said .

-Hunting undead is perfect for a healer-only party like them . -

Undead monsters were largely avoided by most devas, but were also the best monsters to hunt for fire mages and healers . Healers especially loved hunting undead monsters; leveling was slow for healers when they hunted normal monsters with other classes, as they didn't get as much EXP as everyone else . But when hunting undead monsters, healers could use their heal spells as attacks to get more EXP .

I was about to let the part where the party mentioned Khufu's dungeon go in one ear and out the other until I remembered something from the past .

-Khufu's hidden dungeon!-

While there were normal dungeons like the Bukhan Mountain dungeon and the Mt . Fuji dungeon, there were also other dungeons known as hidden dungeons . Hidden dungeons had the same characteristics as normal dungeons: dungeon monsters yielded twice the EXP and drops as field monsters . Hidden dungeons, however, had two extra traits!

First, while normal dungeons always remained open when they were found, hidden dungeons remained open for a limited amount of time . Once that time limit was up, the entrance to the hidden dungeon disappeared . Second, one could enter a hidden dungeon while under a dungeon blessing!

Obviously, I had never entered a hidden dungeon during my past life . That was probably why I had completely forgotten about them . I always thought that I was fated to never come across one .

-Damn…I really didn't do much in the past, did I?-

It wasn't like I knew much about them, either . Everything I knew came from rumors .

All I heard was that there was a hidden dungeon right next to the Pyramid of Khufu . That was all I knew . However, I did remember the hidden dungeon being discovered much later, so I was pretty confident that no one had found it yet .

-Should I go?-

I didn't know the exact location of the entrance; just that it was right next to the Pyramid of Khufu . I wasn't sure if I could find it if I actually made the trip .

------

"Now then, let's go! It's almost time for our flight to Cairo . "

"OK . "

"Did you all exchange contacts? If you do, we can all plan another expedition like this again in the future!"

"Yes, we have . "

"Good . Then let's go!"

------

While I was contemplating on whether or not I should search for the hidden dungeon, the healer party stood up and left the café . I made my decision as they walked out .

-I'll go!-

I wasn't sure if I could find it, but I wanted to at least try . I wouldn't lose out on much if I couldn't find it after a few days .

I followed the healer party out to the Incheon Airport .

-I wonder if the Messenger Guild hasn't been formed yet . -

In the past, the Messenger Guild was one of the more successful guilds . Their business was teleportation . The guild would have one of their members in each large city around the world to set up teleport points in those cities . They would then teleport people to whichever city for a fee . The guild started off with points in eleven cities and before I jumped into the Sea of Reset, I remembered that the guild had expanded to have points in forty-seven cities!

Other large guilds tried to get in on the action when they saw how much profit the Messenger Guild was making, but they failed . The Messenger Guild had already solidified their position by offering the safest and most reliable teleportation service .

-They were pretty expensive, but using their services was always worth the price . -

I got on the same plane to Cairo as the healer party, wishing the Messenger Guild was around right now .

--------------

In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh was a vessel of a god . The ancient Egyptians believed that when the pharaoh died, he began a journey to return to godhood . At that time, the only methods of transportation were horse-drawn chariots and ships that sailed the Nile . When the pharaoh was buried in his pyramid, he was buried with his chariots and ships .

There was a chamber that stored the buried ships inside the Pyramid of Khufu . Inside that chamber was where the entrance to the hidden dungeon was located . Lee Jiwon did not know that .

--------------

Back at the Sunbin Guild headquarters…

"You say he's on his way to Egypt now?"

"Yes sir . He just got a plane for Cairo . "

"Hmm…" Song Daechul had just received a report from Uno, an agent of his guild's Intelligence Division .

"Are Song Haechang and the Hitman Guild still after Lee Jiwon?"

"Yes, sir . The Hitman Guild attempted to kidnap him, as per Song Haechang's request, but failed . They are still looking for Lee Jiwon with the promise of being paid thirty times their usual fee . "

"Pathetic…" Song Haechang had no idea that Song Daechul already knew everything about his illicit affairs . Nothing escaped the eyes of the Sunbin Guild's guild master . Song Daechul knew that his grandson was working with the gangster guild and occasionally passed on information, but allowed it to happen .

There must be evil in the world so that the good could prove its purity above it . A large city such as Seoul had to have trash on the corners of its streets so that a cleanup crew could pick it up . That was why he allowed the Hitman Guild to exist .

Song Daechul and his Intelligence Division knew that Oh Taeshik knew his place in the city . Oh Taeshik never made too much noise, and did his best to stay under the Sunbin Guild's radar . That was why the Sunbin Guild left him alone . Of course, Oh Taeshik and Song Haechang had no idea of this .

"Haa…I don't know if this is the right decision to make . "

" . . . " Uno didn't reply .

"My grandson… my only grandson . " He knew about Song Haechang's inferiority complex and the hatred he felt towards Lee Jiwon . He knew about Song Haechang kicking Lee Jiwon out of the building the second he woke up . He knew about Song Haechang's order to have Lee Jiwon kidnapped and why .

"Men are blind to their own causes . " Song Daechul got up from his seat and looked out his window .

The Sunbin Guild became even more powerful once the Otadolon stage kicked into full gear . There was no other entity that could ever come close to rival its power . The Sunbin Guild already had twenty thousand of its elites hunting in a mid-grade dungeon in China and one in Mongolia . Only Sunbin Guild members were allowed to hunt there .

The guild had even set up safe zones and rest areas in each floor the two dungeons so that all guild members could focus on getting stronger . It had been five months since they began .

The guild also had ten thousand guild members on rotation to clear out the fields surrounding Seoul and for the territory in Siberia it had received from Russia .

Song Daechul knew that this was all thanks to the information Lee Jiwon provided when they first met . However, if he had to pick between his grandson and his benefactor, he believed that he would choose his family .

"Tell me… how did Lee Jiwon get so strong?" At first, Song Daechul and his Intelligence Division made the judgement call that it was the end for Lee Jiwon . It was why Song Daechul ordered him to be protected as a final favor to him .

"That's…" Uno had always been able to clearly answer every single one of his guild master's questions, until now . Only Uno, the Intelligence Division, and Song Daechul knew about the fight between Lee Jiwon and the Hitman Guild's specialist . Not a single one of them expected the fight to turn out the way it did .

"It also doesn't make sense that he slept for four years straight," Song Daechul didn't rebuke Uno for being unable to answer . If Uno didn't know, no one could know . He knew it wasn't because Uno was slacking off .

"Haein still doesn't know he's up, does she?"

"No, she doesn't . "

"When is she due back?"

"She and the Shire Guild have completed the boss raid and are currently hunting at a hidden dungeon . "

"Then she should be back in a month or two at most . "

"Yes sir, it would seem so . "

"Good . Continue to collect as much information on Lee Jiwon as possible . "

"Yes sir . "

"You may go . "

"Yes sir . Oh, and should we continue to track him?" Song Daechul had the Myth Guild keep track of Lee Jiwon's movements while keeping its distance . Uno asked if they should follow him all the way to Egypt .

" . . . " Song Daechul quietly thought to himself for a while .

"It's… about time to put an end to it and our old ties . "

"Understood . I'll have the Myth Guild cease at once . " Uno then disappeared into a cloud of smoke . Song Daechul continued to look out his window and watched the city below him .

"I've… changed a lot as well . I didn't die when my time came, and it seems I've become a monster…" Song Daechul walked out of the conference room, removing the ward that surrounded the room as he left . The ward was there to repel the prying eyes of the Gnosis Guild .

------------

The Gnosis Guild members were gathered once more at their Han Dong building in Yeouido .

"He's not trying to hide his ward from us now . "

"We did take a lot of information from him . " X, the wielder of the Nearly All-Seeing Eye, spoke up for the first time .

"Do we need to conceal ourselves now?"

"We do . My Eye is telling me to not underestimate Song Daechul . "

"Really?" Alpha asked X .

"The old man's found some new desires after escaping death . Or maybe he's found something new to latch on to . Either way, he's gotten too strong and I'm sure he knows it, too . Soon, we won't know what he'll decide to do . One wrong move, and we'll become his new target . "

"Damn . " Alpha swore at what X just said and began to think . Soon, he came to a decision .

"Cease all intel operations on the Sunbin Guild . Don't even accept requests that have to do with the Sunbin Guild . Turn over all profit we made using the Sunbin Guild over to Song Daechul . We need to make ourselves as scarce as possible . " No one said anything in objection . They all knew this decision was based on what X just told them .

"But… do we really need to turn over everything? It's not like he knows exactly how much we made," said Lim Gina .

"This meeting is adjourned . "

"I guess we're huddling in for the storm . "

"Damn, it's getting scary . Do you think I should leave Korea for a while?" No one paid attention to what Lim Gina said .

"Hey . Hello? Excuse me? Can you guys hear me? Are you guys actually ignoring me again?"

----------

I arrived at Cairo International Airport in a record six hours, thanks to airline companies using wind magic to speed the planes up without having to make any mechanical improvements . The Healer party got on a bus right away, as if their itinerary was already planned out ahead of time .

I didn't set out to follow them to the Pyramid of Khufu right away, as it wasn't my target destination . I left the airport and walked around Cairo to see what the general situation of the city was .

I bought a map to see where the dungeon location was, but the map said it was only fifteen kilometers away from me . Hell, I didn't even need a map; I could have just followed the crowd of devas that was heading towards the dungeon .

-Damn, that's a lot of devas . -

There was not a single mortal in sight . Of course it did make sense, since it was pretty close to the dungeon, but the fact that there was not a single mortal around meant that the place was pretty dangerous .

Cairo was not a safe place for mortals to live in . In other words, there was a high chance that Cairo was pretty lawless, and that whatever power resided here was too weak to properly maintain the city .

I was alone in this unfamiliar place, but I wasn't nervous or afraid . I looked around some more before heading to the Pyramid of Khufu . I did take my time, but thanks to my high movement speed, I arrived in no time .

"It's pretty big . " The Pyramid of Khufu, also known as the Great Pyramid of Giza, was surrounded by smaller pyramids and was truly a sight to behold . However, the best part was the dungeon entrance . The dungeon entrance stood in the middle of the pyramids and there was a line of devas waiting outside, with another group of devas blocking the entrance . They were part of the guild that controlled the dungeon and were collecting entrance fees from devas in line .

"That mark…" It was a normal sight to see members of the controlling guild collect entrance fees, but I noticed the insignia on their shoulders .

"Isn't that the Myth Guild?" It was one of the famous guilds I had heard about in the past .

-If the Myth Guild is here, then is this place connected to the Blood Prince?-

I didn't know about the Myth Guild just because it was famous . Well, it was famous since it was Egypt's number one guild, but it was famous because of the deity known as the Blood Prince .

-That's the guild that was obliterated by the Blood Prince . -

Deities; 114 beings that were chosen by the Creator Himself . Seven of them were known as the Seven Monarchs . These seven were considered to be the strongest out of all the deities . The Blood Prince was one of them .

The Blood Prince and ten of his followers completely annihilated the Myth Guild . That was why I remembered the guild .

-Damn . The Blood Prince, huh…-

I had never meet him in person . The Blood Prince never really came to Asia, especially South Korea . But everyone had heard of his evil reputation .

Countless mortals and devas died by his hand . Everyone all the way to Seoul knew about how he killed without discrimination .

-I suppose I don't have to worry about that yet . -

I didn't put too much thought into it, as it was bound to happen to someone else, and not to me . Besides, if it did already happen, these Myth Guild members wouldn't be here!
