Chapter 505: Ian's Underworld Exploration 1

Splash- Splash-!

Each time Ian rowed the oars, a creepy sound would come out

‘Uh, uh,up'

Apparently, the appearance of the river wasn't much different fro inside the water

‘Is this soly?'

He couldn't even do this with pleasant feelings, he was starting to feel bad for sending away Grim Reaper

‘If he would have been here, I would have been less scared…'

While thinking of all these weird stuff, Ian began to row faster

Only then would he be able to escape this experience much faster

Splash- Splash-!

Ian's ferry boat moved across the river with the dreadful unknown sound

But after a while, Ian looked puzzled

“Uh?”

The color of the river, which was dark green, suddenly turned yellow

The next es started to appear in front of Ian

Tring-!

[You have discovered the river of grief—Acheron—for the first time]

[Dark resistance has been increased by 3]

[Resistance of ‘Fear' has been increased by 5]

Ian read the systees and scratched the back of his neck

‘River of Grief? That name sure is scary…'

But apart froet a 5 point resistance to the fear

It wasn't that much of an increase that it could be felt, but even that state of resistance was hard enough to obtain

Ian then heard a sullen voice that came from behind him

“You got in my boat without my permission You seem like a fearless soul”

Feeling annoyed, Ian turned in the direction of the voice

An oldat Ian intensely

[Voyeur Karon: Lv 25 (Transcendence)]

Ian confirmed the information on the head of the old man and sed his spit

‘Wa, even a voyeur the?'

For Ian, as only at transcendence level 2, he couldn't even dare to think about going against a high leveled NPC

The next moment, however, a question came to his mind

‘Hold on, I'ht? If I die in here, ill happen to me?'

Ian tried to make a few assumptions for his own questions

His first assumption

‘Maybe while I'm dead, I'm invincible?'

There couldn't be any other path to go if Ian dies again

His second assumption

‘Maybe this is the sa out with 24-hour no-access penalty like when a user dies in a norame'

It was assu the penalty

But since nothing of it was clear, Ian decided to act very cautiously

“Sorry I didn't know that there was an owner for this shi+p Ha ha ha”

Ian apologized while looking down, Karon replied with a softer tone,

“Hmmm, I don't think you're alive I'm sure that you're dead… Didn't the Grim Reaper tell you about me?”

At the question from Karon, Ian decided to sell out Grim Reaper

“Yeah, he just left immediately?”

“…?”

“So, I just got on the boat”

Seeing Ian act all nervous and confused, Karon's wrinkled expression turned grim

“That grient! I need to tell Lord Mukan”

Ian was feeling a little confused He was convinced that soed the topic

“By the way, Karon”

“Hmm?”

“What is at the end of the river?”

Karon looked lost for a moment and then answered with a smile,

“Erebus”

“Sorry…?”

“After passing this place, you will arrive at Erebus, the land of darkness”

“What is to be done in that place?”

“That is where the deceased lived Those who still have sorets about life”

“Regret… huh?”

“To be precise, so like, the ones who still hold fear about the oblivion?”

“Ah, is that so!?”

While the boat was still , Ian continued to ask Karon numerous questions,

It was because he had to extract more information about this underworld

Thanks to the conversation he was having with Karon, Ian learned a lot

‘So, crossing the river is a dangerous act in this place'

According to Karon, Erebus was divided into three sections

Fro Cocytos

Beyond Cocytos, to the river of flaethon

Finally, beyond the Phlegethon till the river of oblivion, Lethe

In that way, the area was divided according to the river, and once the rivers were crossed, more powerful spirits could be seen
