‘What-what?! What should I call this? Lava waterfall?'
A giant waterfalldown in front of Ian
It was a grand landscape, just like the Niagara
‘Uh… but the heat is so intense It is getting hard to breathe!'
The dungeon was hot as Ian was right in front of the waterfall made of lava, so it was only natural that
he couldn't breathe well
Ian was thinking like that when suddenly systees appeared

‘The first… even if this place was added with the update, there must have been some users who
came here first… hmm…'
However, that wasn't the end…
Suddenly, one side of the waterfall started to move and form a shape!
“Huh?”
Ian stared at that The lava started to change into so that moved toward Ian
‘What-what's this? Should I run away?'
The lava e, Ian was overwhelmed by its presence
He thought about running away but he didn't move
It was partly because he was curious about ould happen, but more because he kneould
soon be get caught even if he ran
The creature came near Ian and opened its mouth slowly
– Ooh! Finally, a Su the Source of Lava!
Ian had feared that itthis
‘Just as I thought, a quest'
One of his questions was also answered, ‘Oh! it's a hidden place that only Summoners can enter!'
Ian could now understand why he was the one to find the Source of Lava first
There was probably no Suher level than Ian's
The lavain the air and had a large scythe It
looked a lot like a grim reaper
‘It looks a bit like a ghost… and a demon…'
Excited, Ian spoke to the NPC, he had er felt

“Um… is this the Source of Lava?”
The huge lava NPC answered
– I auardian of lava, and this is the Source of Lava
He continued to talk

He took some time and slowly spoke

It was clearly an unknown hidden quest and Ian had no reason to refuse
‘Who knohat kind of quest it is?' Ian immediately replied, “Yes, hellyan I would like to help if I
can”
Ian spoke politely at which hellyan nodded with satisfaction
– Thank you Then, listen to my story first
hellyan started to tell the story behind the quest
He talked for about 5 minutes but, to sum it all up, he wanted Ian to help him purify the polluted
Source of Lava
When hellyan finished, Ian asked, “Then hellyan, what should I do to purify the Source of Lava?”
Instead of replying, hellyan blew his breath
Ian was surprised at that great heat
‘Oh! I thought he was using fla'
Ian sweated while hellyan spoke again
– First, I need to test you
“Tell me what to do”
– Take this Binding Stone and capture more than 20 polluted lava monsters
In the place where hellyan had blown his breath, there was a fist-sized stone that glowed in red It
was floating in the air
