Volume 14 Chapter 11 (1/2)

Dain’s Wait

This chapter is brought to you by AnmesicCat, Haikai, Junny, Lei, Masadeer, and ThunderHa at Yoo Byung Jun — his teacher, the genuine genius scientist as sent by the heavens

The whitish centered lines on his head, red bloodshot eyes, and thick eyeglasses

Though that was the stressed looking Yoo Byung Jun, his brains were at a level where he could be called a genius

‘Though the world knows that Royal Road was ether by me and 17 other scientists…’

Director Kihtly shook his head

There was many differences to the truth than what the public knows

‘In truth, the concept cay The other scientists and I did nothing more than simply flesh out the framework that teacher made’

For Director Ki just to do the parts they were responsible for

There were many times when the reputedly impossible perfect Virtual Reality System was considered a fantasy There had been dozens of ti a nightmare about failure

Every ti Jun stepped in to help them, and the person who understood the whole systeh the other scientists including Director Kie Versailles for the sake of their tasks, their poere li careful to stifle his footsteps, Director Ki Jun

“I have returned”

“Yes, good job What were the kids at the office saying?”

“Yes They were being very concerned about the Resurrection Army”

“Keke I supposed so”

“In particular, the Strategy Manage that he has to work overti Jun just laughed like as if he had already expected it

“The user named Daymond, what do you think of him, teacher?”

“Let’s see Well, he’s not bad”

Byung Yoo Jun showed responded dissatisfactory

“The Resurrection Arained from that request”

The scientists who handled the ement Department cocked their ears to listen in on this particular conversation

Yoo Byung Jun was a scientist who transcended intelligence itself and secluded hi himself to the world

It was just that the outside world didn’t know, but in reality, Yoo Byung Jun had taken on the role of leading everyone

But what truly shocked the scientists and raised goosebuht of the Versailles’ Goddess Without any defects, they didn’t even need to intervene with things modified by artificial interventions

It was the super AI that perfectly regulated Royal Road since its release, a fearsome system that could even be called a true Goddess

And it wasn’t just Royal Road; it even controlled related executive affairs of the Unicorn Corporation Even at that extent, the Versailles’ Goddess was only using 20 of its administrative resources

For the scientists, it was a feat that was undisputedly extraordinary

If someone was told that this system had been developed by just 1 scientist, they would never have believed it This was the judg Jun

<tbody><ul>— A scientist that cannot be replaced by ten million of mankind </ul>— He is a scientist ould have been able to advance the world’s technology by 30 years, had he produced anything besides Royal Road </ul></tbody>

He was a person that the scientists could only respect and regard asa conte Jun was a source of pride for theh they’ve been on a roll since they’re using petty tricks… Later on they’ll make more enemies”

There were no scientists who doubted Yoo Byung Jun’s words

The words of the genius of the century have never been wrong If he said that was so, then at some point it would become like that And for the scientists who knew about the prearranged quest and the hidden dangers throughout the Versailles's Goddess, they did not feel that the Resurrection Arreat Virtual Reality

As coy, there were stories hidden throughout the continent, and the histories were innumerable

The scientists knew the adventurers ere hiding and raising their strength, what the level of the warriors were, what quests were in progress, and they found no reason to be tense

With a continent that was too wide, and an incredibly large nuration of hu sh they had participated in the development, Royal Road was a truly fun virtual reality After the release of Royal Road, there was even a report that huone up by at least 40

With the pride that they had opened the doors to a neorld, the scientists returned to their own duties

Yoo Byung Jun muttered to himself

“People in this world delude the, he could see the activities of the adventurers on the Versailles Continent

A user who raised strength while hunting in a jungle no one else would seek out

A user who trained their basic Sta the most perilousstronger as they tested their own limitations on a deserted island filled withJun felt happy whenever he saw these users

With endless tests on their li extreone on earth

“To say that Royal Road is a game…”

After the creation of Royal Road and its release, the public -edge technology that realized the most realistic virtual reality!

Royal Road’s rapidly burgeoning user-base ames

A neorld had opened up for the users

This caused even people in the general populace ere unfa that Royal Road had calmed the entertainment industry caers and directors in the real word found great joy in selling fruit within theoff on adventures, armed with a sword strapped to their waists

As they scraped up enora Jun smirked every time he saw those articles

“Soft and lazy hu here”

It was so Jun couldn’t stand it

He had dedicated his life to Royal Road It was a y and life to, created as if it were his own child

If it was just for the sake of o

After chasing the Glowing Skeleton’s for a long seven days, they discovered the grand prize near the cemetery at last, and they were able to purify and defeat it with the Cleric’s holy ic

“It’s a success!”

“Great job, everyone”

The Cleric and the Pikeman were especially happy

“Dain-ni a Glowing Skeleton was difficult even with a skilled hunter That was because it would go into a eons and hide inside As they stopped to fight while chasing after the Glowing Skeleton, it would escape somewhere else before they even realized it

If they didn’t have a Sha Skeleton would have been htly showed as she s I wasn’t even very helpful in the fights”

“That’s not true Even though you’re a Shaman, the power of your treatment and all sorts of beneficial skills… If Dain-nim hadn’t been here, it would have truly difficult to successfully accomplish this request”

“Dain-unni is a true shaman”

Dain had firmly won the trust of her party members

“Unni, stay with us”

“Will you do the next request with us?”

“Yes, I will”

For a few ether with the party members

Her fame improved day by day as well When there weren’t many users in Morata who did not knoho Shaman Dain was, she left for an adventure in the Land of the Black Curse

It was an expedition that over twenty of Morata’s most seasoned adventurers participated in!

After experiencing new eon, she returned to Morata

“Whew! I’rinned broadly

The Morata she had returned to after a long time… She hadn’t knosavored enough solitude in the sky city of Lavias, she had secured a new position in the North and had et the curse resolved…”

Dain made a worried face

The entire expedition had received a curse in the Land of the Black Curse

Their skin turned dark like a Dark Elves’, and primitive tribe-like patterns had appeared

A curse that reduced the effects of ic and skills by half!

It was a curse that could not be reic of a Shao h the Priests in the expedition were also helpless, they could only believe in their Priests

Dain went into the Church of Freya

Similarly to the expedition that just ca

After waiting for a long time for her turn, she met a Priest of the Freya Church

“I would like to have the curse on me cured”

“You have received a curse of an ancient evil”

“Yes”

“This is because you went into a place where you should not have gone It’s a curse that formed as you explored a land that does not welcome intruders To lift the curse, you’ll need Kelpie Wood, Platinum Powder, Carrot, and a White Rabbit’s Blood If you daub these ingredients on your body, then blend them and drink, you can be freed froht take a little tiather

Dain smiled as she did not expect the cure to be so simple

“Thank you very much”

“It was my pleasure All harmony is in accordance to the Goddess’ will”

“Buying and selling loot!”

“Tellyou need”

The raised voices came from merchants lined up in the square outside the church of Freya The coht to be seen anywhere in the Versailles Continent

After selling off all the loot she had gathered, Dain calmly milled about the square

‘This ti Weed was the whole reason for co to Morata

However, Weed did not return to Morata, and she got tired of waiting and left for an adventure

When she left, the Statue of the Goddess Freya was built, as well as other numerous sculptures and the castle had evolved as well

A rumor that Weed, the Count of Morata, had returned circulated However, he seemed to be away on another adventure, so it was said thathim would be difficult

‘What were the chances of hi back while she ay anyway?’

As Dain looked at a building that hadn’t been there before on Morata’s newly developed street, she walked around lonesomely

‘The Statue of the Goddess Freya, huh’

As she looked at the glahtly jealous For her, as only slightly prettier than an average girl even when she viewed herself positively, she really did feel a little irritated

She wanted to return to the location of the Lavias cave sculptures in her memories, but if she did that it would be even harder toaround the square

“Excuse me”

She looked back at the voice that had called out to her

Short and slim, it was a lady with eyes that looked extremely virtuous From the white robe she was dressed in, she must have the profession of a Cleric or a Priest

“Did you call me?”

“Yes

“What can I help you with?”

“Oh, I’ you… You’re the Shaht”

“Whew! I finally found you My na the conversation had made Irene feel aard and very uncomfortable, but she could not hide the joyous expression when she found Dain

“My party is trying to do a quest right now But it’s far away, and we thought it’d be good to have so to recruit a Shaman”

The name of the quest that Pale had discovered was, ‘The Secret of Manufacturing Ancient Breastplate’

It was said that the book recording the method of manufacture was buried somewhere in the North, so they wanted recruit an Adventurer and a Shaman, and leave Then they heard that the famous Shaman named Dain had returned just then and had found her

Irene explained again with a nervous look

“The difficulty is C If you don’t mind, would you like to adventure with us?”

Dain slowly studied Irene’s face

‘She looks like a nice person She also see to leave on a quest She was in the position of waiting for someone

She couldn’t always just wait for Weed to return to Morata, but since she had just co an adventure, she wanted to take a rest for now

“I’ to rest…”

Just as Dain was saying this, a lady wearing a fancy dress embedded with jealked toward thehtly stepped forward, she was followed by the eyes of the users in the square Sior and pleasure

‘She’s a Dancer’

However, the only professions that could go on adventures or hunt while wearing dresses were Minstrels and Dancers She also wore bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and short heels that were co an instrument, Dain concluded that she was a Dancer

“Hwaryeong-unni, where were you?”

“I was eating at a restaurant But who’s this?”

“This is Dain-nim She’s a famous Shaman…”

“Ah, looked at Dain’s face as if she was seeing it anew

Since she was a Shaman with black, jewel-like skin, she was extre to come with us for the request?”

“Yes But unfortunately it doesn’t seem like she’ll be able to do it with us”

Dain, who had been standing by and listening to Hwaryeong and Irene’s conversation, suddenly interrupted

“Hey there, I’ve changed my mind”

“What?”

“The adventure you were talking about just now, I’d also like to do it together”

“Really? That’s great! Thank you”

“Yes Thanks for having me”

Dain accepted Irene’s offer

The Statue of the Goddess Freya that Morata’s Lord Weed had sculpted!

It was because the statue’s face and Hwaryeong’s were miraculously similar

Lee Hyun trained his body daily at Ahn Hyun Do’s dojo

Lee Hyun’s distinctly divided, toned th, and endurance grew stronger every day While experiencing the training fro instructors for 30a weapon

“Even a sharp sword is completely useless in the hands of a dull person If you don’t even have coet about holding a sword Though the training is rough, it’s a process that’s required to wield the blade”

Lee Hyun faithfully followed Jung Il Hun’s harsh lecture He endured the hell training without a single complaint

It was to the point that the instructors consulted a intensity too strong?”

“If we keep going like this, will he not say that he’ll quit?”

“Even I don’t know Since Master told us to do it, hein ht?”

“Though occasionally he really doesn’t have any ideas”

“”

As Lee Hyun ta that his true skills were being strengthened

If his body was solidified, then his th would be boosted

The willpower that for!

When he co with the instructors, he would take a break while drinking the tea Ahn Hyun Do gave hi tea”

“Thank you, Master”

Lee Hyun gulped down the ginseng tea

He was thirsty, but it was so that he could drink another cup of the healthy tea!

Ahn Hyun Do spoke after pouring hi not hard?”

“It’s doable”

“Yes That’s praiseworthy With that attitude, you should be able to progress further How is the rest of your life?”

“My life?”
