ACT 7 Lancel Village
“Chief Kim, have you ever heard of a user called Ark?”
“Ark?”
Kim Gwon-tae asked puzzled
“Who is that?”
“One of the candidates”
“Let’s see? I’ve never heard that name? No matter how smart I am, I cannot remember the names of the 2000 candidates But why? Did you find some useful information?”
“No Someone just mentioned him Did you ever look at his reports?”
That person who asked was Ho Myung-hwan fro-hwan had received the request a few days ago, when Kang Mi-su from the reception desk asked about Ark He heard the information that Ark had showed a remarkable achievement in the event quest However, that day hen the planning department was overturned A new event quest in the Brandt Mountains was suddenly cancelled Thanks to that he forgot for a while, until a chanceat lunchtime made him remember Kim Gwon-tae looked at the monitor and spoke in a bored voice
“Go and ask Cain-ssi in the reference rooes and prints out all the notable reports If there’s anything valuable then it would be there”
“I understand”
Ho Myung-hent and visited the reference roo the reports that had come in yesterday
“Hey, Cain-ssi It’s been a while Have you received any reports from the user Ark?”
“Ark?”
Cain looked over the email list and nodded
“Yes, it has come in”
“Have you printed it?”
“Uroup”
“Automatic deletion?”
“Yes, the test reports have been co in for a few months and apart from the top 20, all the other reports are throay Because it is difficult for Chief Kim and the boss to read all 2000 reports, some were excluded early on So these days I don’t even print out the emails and just delete them immediately”
“Why are we paying them a salary just to not read their reports?”
“Who knoith Section Chief Ha?”
“Anyway, are there any emails that haven’t been deleted yet?”
“You want me to take out a copy?”
“Yes, please give me a copy As I have some spare time to read it”
“There’s a reason why the deleted group isn’t seen……”
Cainout a report Upon receiving the report, Ho Myung-hwan realized why it was on the dropouts list
‘What is this? A kid would be able to write better than this’
Ark’s report was really messed up The second proble the report The report should be well organized so that the reader could understand the inforht awayBut instead of a neat summary, Ark’s report had jumbled sentences and context that made it difficult to understand what the contents were It was reasonable Although Ark fabricated his educational background, he was actually only a high school graduate Since he tried to quit several tiraduated He had never seen horite a report So he just wrote everything he experienced freely, like a diary But was that all? Since he played the gae of 17 hours, he had no time to write the reports so he wrote it while sleepy Naturally, even an ele on their hoathering of the elites Ho Myung-has a bright student who graduated from K university Ark’s report was practically ih it and read the first page Ho Myung-hwan realized so the report
‘What is this? The user on the dropout list is level 127?’
The level was enough to -hwan surprised for the first tiory were level 130 Even the faht Alan was level 138 But one of the dropouts was level 127? However, the level wasn’t the only thing in the report that -hwan surprised This time, the content of the report submitted by Ark was the match details in the Evil Silrion More than 1,000 people participated in the tournament! Yet in the final match, he bet the pioneers and won the tourna-has also a player in New World Although he didn’t have tio see the reat it was through the newsletter that the Evil Silrion published It was natural Beating 1000 participants and the pioneers was a big issue Ho Myung-hwan quickly found a video posted by a user on the Internet Thousands of spectators cheered as a dark wolf froht scenes left a strong i-hwan’s heart
‘Ark is the Dark Wolf from the rumours? Then how did he transform into a wolf?’
Ark’s wolf for-hwan’s curiosity Since there was no reference to the Underground World in this report, there was no way for hi that could o crazy
‘No, the transformation isn’t that important If he was able to win the Evil Silrion with a partner, then isn’t it a big problem that he isn’t on the list? Why did Section Chief Ha refuse this user?’
He couldn’t understand a single thing with his common sense
‘Anyway, I can’t just ignore the problem and move on!’
As a member of Global Exos and a user in New World……
The achieveht scene was powerful enough to evoke a such of responsibility in hi depart-woo had placed Ark on the dropouts list, there was no way for him to recover the other reports
‘I’ll watch a littleIf there is any noteworthy content then I will show Section Chief Ha before it’s too late’
Ho Myung-hwan returned to the reference room and immediately asked
“Cain-ssi, when this friend’s report coe it from now on Ah, have you also heard of a candidate called Shambala?”
“Wait a minute Ah, here it is Shambala is also a dropout”
“That friend as well? I understand Then please give me his reports too”
“You’re notin charge?”
“No, the interest is just personal”
“I understand”
Ark’s eed to avoid being eli his reports thrown in the shredder But he would have to wait a little bit more to see if this was luck or misfortune
“Ale soon”
Ark looked up and said
It had been four days since they’ve left Selebrid with 300 thieves, and they had arrived two days earlier than expected The reason was siht line to reach Lancel from Selebrid Of course, normal users wouldn’t even dare attempt this kind of trip This was because the continent was co grounds in the same area However, there was 300 of thee monster level 200 suddenly interrupted them, it would be no problem No, the thieves would just pull out their knives while cheering wildly
“That’s great We’re tired of eating wheat bread!”
“Huhuhu, but isn’t it easy to cut 300 servings?”
“Ark-hyungnim can make his cooked beef!”
The 300 thieves sware Grizzly feed 300 people in no tih level row But was that all? When 300 people searched a forest, it was easy to find ingredients Thanks to that, quite a lot of ingredients froathered However, the pleasant trip cae
“Did you say this was the village?”
“Eh………?”
Ark lifted his head and looked at the village in the distance Lancel Village was not like Ark ree had become quite different There used to be 40 houses that had been abandoned but now there were e was also lined with a fence that surrounded everything Well, he sent rants here so of course it would be extended However, what he couldn’t understand was the village’s ats in the toill full of individuality Some houses were built on top of trees while others were tucked into the ground With the brightly coloured paint, it looked like a town from a children’s storybook He had travelled around New World and seen all sorts of villages, but it was the first time he had seen one like this
‘Did I go the wrong way?’
Ark was stunned and opened the mapto confire several times before he was certain
“He”
“Yes, if possible I’d love to live in a place like this”
Fortunately, JusticeMan and the thieves seee Ark was in the lead as they entered Lancel Village There were NPCs around that Ark recognized They were the Meoarriors wearing worker outfits as well as the raccoon clan, ere sprouting beards frorapher Hansen’s companions that he had rescued from the thief lair
“Oh, it is Ark! Ark!”
The first person (?) to run up was a Meow shaman
“Hht? Somehow you smell like Ark”
Jana approached closely with her tail waving behind her
“Ara? Why are you here?”
“I was bored by myself And it is more relaxed here”
“But you’re the Sha up the temple?”
“It does not matter Well, it isn’t stolen……”
Well……whenever he sees the Meow, the word cat always enters his head How indulgent are they that even their Shaot about the temple and displayed an interest in Ark She shook her tail softly and twitched her nose, before suddenly rubbing against his body anda sweet sound
“Heung, have you changed and become even nicer since the last time I saw you? How is it? Is you answer to my offer from before still valid? After all this time you still don’t want to date me? I’ll treat you well Because cats are kind”
“What, what the?”
Roco jumped out with an uncomfortable look
“What? What is with that attitude? Shaking your tail, don’t you feel any shame? No, what is your relationshi+p with Ark oppa?”
“Ara? Who is this feirl while we’re apart?”
“Eh………so……”
Ark had a bewildered expression as Jana rubbed against his body
“Well, if you’re a man you should have one or toamy”
“P-polygamy? Am I crazy? What kind of era is this……”
“Ah, it’s noisy, noisy Ark shouldn’t have to put up with a sharp voice like that I’ll show you the village”
“Can’t you put his hand down?”
Roco shouted while pulling at his opposite arm However, the unexpected ambush was suddenly stopped
Slap, slap!
All of a sudden soed froirls And then burrowed into Ark’s arhter, Sarah Ark was embarrassed by Sarah’s sudden behaviour But Roco and Jana was even more embarrassed than Ark
“What is this? Oppa?”
“Sarah, can you please get out of the way?”
The to even deeperIn the end, Ark stood up and said
“Stop What am I, a celebrity? And Sarah is still a child Come on Sarah”
Ark wound up holding Sarah’s hand as he entered the village However, Roco just lookedWhen Ark selected Sarah as the winner, a small smile spread on herchild was an enemy!
‘I was thinking too easily!’
In fact, Roco had a slightly relaxed mood so far Because Ark had never shown any interest in women, it wasn’t necessary for her to be iht incite his hatred insteadThat hat she thought Suddenly, tomen appeared so her anxiety increased Of course, Jana and Sarah were NPCs However, if ainterest, it was fey to feel anxious
‘Right, I can see that Ark oppa is a great guy It is strange that he has had no girlfriends yet’
Frankly, it wasn’t that strange But everything was in the eye of the beholder
‘Whether in reality or the gae oppa strictly from now on’
Roco ht up to Ark while having a desperate eye fight with Jana But JusticeMan just laughed and murmured
“Huhuhu, as expected, when competitors appear then love heats up”
“Noe’ll be seeing even more”
At that tih with her thick belly
“Hahaha, it is indeed the Truthseeker If you’re a descendant of Hero Maban then of course you’ll be popular omen”
“You are?”
“I am the Meow elder, Hassan I am the person who saw Ark’s potential with one look and entered him on the path of the Truthseeker And who are you?”
“I am JusticeMan Ark and I are very close It is nice to meet you and I hope we become closer in the future”
“Is that so? Mmmm, but have we met somewhere before? Somehow I feel like we’re really similar?”
“You too? I also feel that”
“Huhuhu”
“Huhuhuhu”
JusticeMan and Hassan laughed together while covering their faces Actually, their two faces were slightly similar There are also people in the world who connect in such a way Anyway, Ark finally arrived at the general store surrounded by the crowd The tee of the store
“Oh, Ark, it has been too long!”
Galen welcomed him with a wide smile
“The town’s ated quite a lot”
“Well, it is all because of you The village has been safe thanks to the Meoarriors you sent And using his knowledge of construction, Hansen has also helped rebuild the village But the people you sent from the Brandt Mountains have really shi+ned They’re not very talkative but are excellent crafts and we are also able to begin trading These days, irants have come because they’ve heard the news”
“I’lad”
“Well, there is still a long way to go before we can become the intermediary point between Giran and Jackson I’m sorry but I’ll have to trouble you some more”
