Chapter 2: Lucky Day (2)
The Aesir System has been downloaded.
The Status window could not be opened.
It really wont open.
Even after trying it numerous times, the result was still the same.
The status window isnt opening.
There are a few damaged files.
Trying to recover the program with safe mode.
Together with the program rebooting, the systems voice rang through his mind.
Damn What the hell is happening?
JaeHyun couldnt hide his confusion.
Ever since he awakened at 10, the system had not crashed even once for the past 17 years.
It had never recovered the system with rebooting or whatnot either.
The voice I heard there is a large possibility it is related to the system crashing.
It was a rational conclusion. The system clearly said an unknown presence had infiltrated it.
But why?
He could not be certain about anything at that moment.
A system invaded by an unknown presence leading to a crash. A message from the mysterious voice to follow the light.
JaeHyun tried to keep his calm and stared at the white light in front of him.
Ive never read about a system crash on any forums for the awakened. Then there might be some changes in the Aesir system.
The Aesir System was a type of living system based on mythology.
The term sir, referring to the Norse gods of Asgard including Odin and Thor, is said to have been the origin for this system which was the last bastion of hope for humans at the end of despair.
Editor note: sir' (variably Aesir') is the plural form of the term.
<20 years ago, in 2011, which was called the Year of the Calamity>
An enormous tree with untold height grew in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
It sprouted overnight and covered the sky after growing for only 9 days.
The true name of this treewhich was said to be a sign of the end of the world by some and a blessing by otherswas Yggdrasil. The world tree that appeared in mythology.
And on the 9th day, when the tree finished growingFịndd new updates at novelhall.com
A tragedy began.
An unprecedented disaster of monsters spread rampantly all over the world.
Monsters from mythology like giants and dragons appeared, and it took too long before people realized that all of these things had become reality.
Half of the population lost their lives, and half of those remaining were killed by famine and plague.
The monsters created more corpses than any epidemic or war.
Humans resisted desperately, but the monsters were too strong. All products of scienceincluding weaponsturned to ashes, and the armies of most countries were eradicated in the fight against monsters.
But then all of a sudden, a small hope brewed in humanity that had fallen in despair.
Humans called the Awakened with the strength of gods appeared.
Those Awakened held the power of the gods.
That is, they started to kill monsters with the basis of the Aesir System.
The Awakened. Those among them that hunted monsters were called raiders.
The strongest weapon used by the ones humanity considered heroes.
A system regarding which no one knew when and where it was from or which existence had created it.
That was the Aesir.
However
A change is happening to that Aesir System? No matter what kind it would be, it was hard to think about it positively.
As JaeHyun was organizing his thoughts
Tak!
JaeHyuns feet, which were trodding busily, suddenly stopped. Because the light that had been floating in the air stopped in one location and grabbed his gaze once again.
JaeHyun raised his head and looked forward. Then, shock was visible on his face.
An enormous door?
In front of his eyes was a huge, rusted steel door.
Giving off an unknown aura of intense pressure, it was a door covered in murals that were so old that they could not be identified.
This is no way!!
The corners of JaeHyuns mouth started to turn up, and a grin soon spread on his face.
Its a Treasure Gate!

Finally, spring had come for him as well.
JaeHyun tried to calm his beating heart and put the item in his inventory.
As he was doing so, he suddenly had a thought.
Since I got it, should I try equipping it?
Sure. Its not every day I get to try out a Mythic item.
Traditionally, raiders all wanted to own high-ranked items.
The high rank of an item could be a raiders pride. It could also save their life in a dungeon.
JaeHyun hardened his heart and opened his status window to equip the item.
Then
Warning! The item Odins Lost Eye becomes bound once equipped. Would you like to equip?
N-no! Cancel right away! Quickly!
Not having read the warning because he was entranced by the Mythic rating, he calmed his surprised heart.
Phew I almost blew away the Mythic item I obtained with difficulty.
JaeHyun returned the Odins Lost Eye to his inventory and wiped his cold sweat away.
I dont have a reason to equip this. Just selling it will get me billions and billions of won.
It was a Mythic item after all. How would there be a reason to equip it?
Over the past 7 years, JaeHyun had faced numerous enemies. There were many instances where he was frozen in fear and several times when he almost died.
For him, being a raider was something he had to do without a choice. He wasnt continuing to do it out of any love for the job.
That was why he had no plans to equip Odins Lost Eye.
A big house and a foreign car I can do whatever I want now!
JaeHyun left the Treasure Gate with a very light heart.
It was time to return.
***
Ha, where did Min JaeHyun go? We have to start fighting again in a bit.
He will probably be back soon. It seems he went to the bathroom for a moment.
Lee Myung-Ho frantically made excuses.
Phew Seriously.
The raid captain, Park ChanHyeok, showed his impatience as he looked at his specially-altered watch.
The guilds budget was already low, so the loss in power with just one person missing was not small.
Especially since those who stood at the rear were Magicians that were weakest at close combat.
If the monsters got even a little closer, the formation would be destroyed in the chaos.
Lets try waiting a little Oh! Hes over there. JaeHyun, come quickly. We are continuing the mission now.
Im sorry for being late.
JaeHyun bowed his head with an embarrassed look. Park ChanHyeok scolded him as he sighed.
Its troublesome if you move by yourself like this. It would be best that nothing like this happens next time.
Yes. Ill keep that in mind.
JaeHyun apologized one more time.
Fortunately, Park ChanHyeok left without saying any more.
Um, JaeHyun. Dont feel too sad huh?
Haha, its nothing, hyung. Im fine. And Ill pay for the drinks tonight. I cant keep getting free stuff.
Huh? Uh
Lee Myung-Ho tilted his head at JaeHyuns untypical reaction.
Did he finally go insane at the age of 27?
Holding his shield in one hand and filing into formation, JaeHyuns expression was bright.
Phew did he fall for it just now?
JaeHyun did not say anything about finding a Treasure Gate.
He was still inside a dungeon.
It was a lawless area with no one outside ever knowing whatever happened inside.
Saying he found a good item in here was the same as saying he wanted to die, and JaeHyun was not stupid.
It wont be too late to sell the item after clearing the dungeon as planned. Its important not to needlessly attract suspicion right now.
Lee Myung-Ho shook his head to express that he couldnt understand, then he grabbed his shield as well and moved into formation.
After checking that the newly-formed frontline had no cracks in it, the raid captain shouted.
Okay, since the frontline has been reformed, lets start clearing
Boom! Bang bang bang bang!
In the next moment, a loud explosion almost burst their ears.
