41 3 . Unknown Dungeon -3 (1/2)
Piolan nodded.
”Well… there are always exceptions.”
Then, Kawin, who had been checking the guild's member listed, called Herss.
”Herss, you will reach Lv. 90 soon, right?”
Herss nodded, ”Yes, I think I will reach Lv. 90 by tomorrow.”
”And your Reputation?”
”My Reputation is… 190,000.”
Kawin scratched his head.
”Ha… not even close to meeting the requirements.”
This time, Herss asked Piolan, ”How high is your Reputation, Piolan?”
Piolan had been checking that because she was curious about it, so she answered immediately.
”Mine is a little over 160,000.”
”I see.”
Piolan was the second greatest 'hunting lover' right next to Ian, so her Reputation was relatively low.
”But does our Reputation even matters? Isn't the guild master supposed to meet the qualifications
and be our Lord?”
Herss shook his head.
”I've checked that. Anyone in our guild can be the Lord as long as he or she qualifies. It doesn't have
to be me.”
”Aha…”
”The user who has the highest Reputation in our guild is…”
Herss checked the guild's information and was surprised, ”What? Isn't there an error?”
Everyone heard his 'violent' exclamation and looked at him.
Piolan asked, ”Why? Is there a problem?”
Herss answered, confused, ”No, it just that the guild member who has the highest Reputation is…
Clovan.”
Kawin and Piolan pretended to be surprised, ”What? Really?”
”Huh? That gangster-like dude?”
Herss scratched his head and answered, ”That's what I am saying. He just looks like someone who
would have a high amount of Evil Reputation, instead, he has the highest Reputation…”
Clovan glared at them, ”What?”
Clovan was mad, but Herss didn't mind it and continued to speak, ”Your Reputation is over 270,000!
What have you done that your Reputation is so high?”
This time, he wasn't trying to mock Clovan.
Herss really looked surprised, ”I thought you only spent your time hunting…”
Piolan was shocked, too.
Clovan, however, shrugged his shoulders, ”Are you all surprised by my Reputation?”
Kawin teased him, ”Herss, you sure you didn't mistake Evil Reputation for Reputation?”
”What?”
While Kawin and Clovan wrestled, Herss and Piolan checked the Reputation of more than 200 guild
members.
However, no one had a higher Reputation than Clovan.
Clovan then explained why his Reputation was so high, ”When I was Lv. 50, I participated in the
Rookies' Arena League.”
”Oh, really?”
”Yes. It was before I joined the guild. I was lucky and met a weak opponent, so I made it to the semi-
final. I received 50,000 Reputation then. Next, I did a lot of class quests to get more.”
Everyone nodded. That made sense.
”Aha, the Rookies' League.”
The Arena was a 1:1 pvp system that was opened at the beginning of every month and there was a
separate Rookies' League for users at Lv. 50 and lower.
Clovan wasn't one of the strongest players but reaching the semi-final in the Rookies' League wasn't
impossible.
Herss looked at Clovan,”Then Clovan is most likely to become our Lord?”
Piolan nodded, ”I guess so. His Reputation is higher than ours by at least 100,000.”
Herss agreed, ”Yeah… that's strange. The gap is way too big, even counting the 50,000 he got from
the Rookies' League.”
Piolan shrugged his shoulders, ”Well, only Clovan would know the answer.”
”Hu… he looks like a bandit but to think that he has a Reputation higher than 270,000…”
Herss shook his head.

Meanwhile, Ian fought Ghost monsters that were created endlessly while having Bukbuk on his back.
He was grinning widely.
No matter how many he killed, new Ghost Lizards kept coming.
This time, they were not Ghost Drakes but Ghost Lizards. They were weaker, so they gave less EP.
However, that was good. This is because there were too many of them. Instead, if it had been Ghost
Drakes with that amount, Ian would have been forced to leave quickly.
Pak-!
Ian heard something, so he glanced back.
- Your pet Bukbuk received critical damage.
- Bukbuk's Health decreased 1.
Ghost Lizard aimed at Ian's back, but Bukbuk's shell was there to protect him.
Even though Bukbuk received critical damage, it was only inflicted with 1 damage. Ian smiled with
satisfaction.
'Ha, a human is always meant to use his brain!'
He looked like a funny Ninja Turtle, but he didn't care.
Every time an unavoidable attack came, he turned his back to it and Bukbuk's shell perfectly blocked
the damage.
It was as good as a bulletproof vest.
Bukbuk's shell was almost invincible. Thanks to it, Ian could freely move which it helped him greatly.
The enemies used to attack mainly Big Guy, now their attacks were forced to be divided. So, Ian could
hunt more efficiently.
It already had been an hour since he passed through that suspicious-looking giant iron gate and
Ghost Lizards had been coming endlessly. However, Ian wasn't going to turn around and leave.
'I have to get to the end. This room cannot be the end of this dungeon.'
Ian glanced at the wall opposite the door through which he had come in.
There was another iron gate that was similar to the one he had come through.
He didn't know how long the Lizards would be coming at him, but he thought the door would open
eventually if he kept hunting them.
