Episode 141 – Hallasan next to Hallasan
#One
Hwanwoong was busy making reservations for something.
Now that the surprise event is over, it’s time to get back to work.
This is because to climb the second and final level of Hallasan Mountain, you had to climb the real Hallasan Mountain.
In November, when the college entrance exam was just around the corner, flight prices were quite cheap.
It will soon be the season for camellia flowers to bloom.
In the past, I didn’t care about such things, but now I have the peace of mind to distinguish between seasons.
Of course, I had no intention of resting.
“Now that I think about it, didn’t Inyoung want to go to Jeju Island?”
My younger brother couldn’t go on a trip because he was studying.
For the first time in a long time, I wanted to be an older brother and a dutiful son.
If not at this time, when would you do it?
Hwanwoong called his mother, who was looking at the store.
“Mom, how are you?”
“Okay~. What’s going on? “Shall I send you some side dishes?”
“no. That’s not true, Inyoung will be taking the CSAT soon. When it’s over, shall we go to Jeju Island to have fun?”
“jeju island!?”
Of course, expenses are free.
The only thing my parents had to pay for was gas for the car to Gimpo Airport.
Hwanwoong plans to cover the rest.
It would be nice if the employees could also take a vacation.
“Yes, Mom and Dad should go on a vacation too.”
“I’m okay, but I’m not sure if my dad will be okay? “Let me ask you something.”
“Dad, if you’re busy, I can send you on a separate trip or give you pocket money, so you and Inyoung can go together. “Dad, you’ll like it better if I leave you alone, right?”
Isn’t this the dream of every married man?
In any case, if you create an environment where you can relax comfortably at home, your father, who stays at home alone, will understand.
Because as a man, I can fully understand that feeling.
“Ugh, anyway, mom is okay. I think Inyoung will like it too~. “Then will your son come pick me up?”
“That’s right. “You have to climb the tower there.”
“okay? “Is it taking a long time?”
Hwanung introduced the approximate schedule to his mother.
Her mother was very happy, saying it was a long time since she was on a trip, and In-young would also like it.
Jeju Island in November, isn’t it romantic?
The cool autumn sea breeze, grilled fish, raw fish… … .
It’s a famous tourist destination, and I’ve been going there a lot since I was in elementary school, so I didn’t really have any intention of going there.
However, I thought that I would like to actually climb Mt. Hallasan at least once.
It was a vague plan at the time, but now I was able to actually do what I had in mind.
Hwanung thought it was a very thankful thing and completed all preparations.
“Employees should also take some vacation.”
They also provide generous amounts of vacation expenses.
Isn’t this company welfare?
Hwanwoong’s anticipated trip to Jeju Island has begun.
#2
jeju island!
The most popular tourist destination and largest island in Korea.
Blue sea, quiet roads, barbecue and grilled fish at a guest house.
and… … .
“Ugh-! cold-!”
Terrible wind.
When did you last visit Jeju Island?
It was so long ago that I couldn’t even remember.
They say that old memories become beautified by time.
Jeju Island was a place with harsher winds than expected.
Hwanwoong quickly returned to the rented car and headed to the guest house.
I stayed at a bed and breakfast near the beach, which was run by a former ship captain after retirement.
“Welcome~.”
“hello.”
“You rented it for a long time, but did you come to work?”
“That’s not it. I came here to climb. tower.”
“Ah, I see. Not long ago, another mountain… … what? “They said they were going to climb too.”
I see.
A true Hallasan-grade pagoda was built on the ridge of Hallasan Mountain, and it was very popular for a while.
It quickly became tiring due to the fact that you couldn’t get any rewards unless you climbed to the end.
Anyway, the CSAT is about a week from now.
I plan to finish climbing before then and spend time with my family.
I’m also preparing to attack the Baekdu Mountain level.
“The wind is strong, so make sure to close the windows.”
“All right.”
Is there any delay?
Hwanung immediately drove toward the pagoda.
I could see a tower hidden in clouds in the distance.
Just getting up there would be a task.
‘How windy is it over there?’
Aside from everything else, Hwanwoong was worried about that.
#3
“Ugh, we finally arrived.”
They say the sun sets really quickly in the mountains.
Hallasan Mountain was similar.
The tower can be seen only after reaching the two-thirds point of the course, which takes five hours one way.
There were so many people that it was rumored that the local government suffered a bit as tourists and climbers flocked to the tower.
Instead of lifting restrictions on hiking, which originally only accepted 1,000 people per day, they decided to charge a fee.
After implementing various policies, it now seemed to be stably established.
“Then, shall we begin?”
Various physiological phenomena disappeared inside the tower, but not in reality.
Especially hunger and thirst.
Now we need to make thorough preparations to solve the fundamental problem in earnest.
Still, this place was fairly well equipped for climbers.
Hwanwoong entered the second Hallasan level [Tower of Clash] with a willing heart.
These people are occasionally seen in the lobby.
This was also an adventure-type tower with a limit of 20 people.
So, it was a structure where you couldn’t get the reward unless you reached the end.
Otherwise, there would have been quite a few people who only received intermediate rewards.
’50 stages and one checkpoint.’
It was structured so that you could only come back to reality by entering the [Neutral Zone] on stage 30.
Because it was a tower with a random stage configuration, improvisation and general skills were also very important.
Because it was a tower where you had to create a strategy, not a set strategy.
[Do you want to join the game?]
“okay.”
A bright light guided him.
I heard deafening noises and footsteps moving here and there, and when my vision returned, I saw a sight that would give me PTSD.
Barracks scattered here and there.
A sandstorm that makes your mouth and nose stuffy.
The sound of walking in step.
Yeah, this place… … It was the same scene as when I was in the military.
That was the scene when training came out!
“hey! “What are you doing!”
“What, is it just one person this time?”
“Isn’t the summoning wrong?”
I saw soldiers talking about themselves in various ways.
At first glance, they were wearing armor that looked like something you would see in the Middle Ages.
Even though he saw himself in a completely different outfit, he seemed familiar, only giving him a look and moving around in a hurry, or as if he was trying to quickly take him away.
“Look. Welcome to mercenaries. “Since you participated in the war as a mercenary, I hope you will follow the commander’s instructions.”
“Are you going to a meeting?”
“exactly. “This is a golden opportunity to take down those Easterners.”
East?
Hwanung had doubts about the familiar word.
Has the word “East” ever appeared?
The source of the ‘East’ he heard about was only one person.
‘I’ll have to ask Eyasu. If this is the west she spoke of… … .’
I wanted to ask TOP.
What happens if you betray your allies?
The stage hasn’t started yet, so let’s go in first.
“This way.”
“Come in quickly! “One o’clock is urgent!”
I really don’t like this.
As bad memories began to surface, Hwanwoong’s expression began to fade little by little.
It’s something that most Korean men have experienced.
Because that memory tormented him again.
As I opened the door to the barracks and entered, a middle-aged man with a strict look looked at Hwanwoong.
Next to him were people of similar age and a few young people.
All but two of them were wearing armor of the same material and type, making it clear that they belonged to the same organization.
“Is it just you?”
“however.”
“Uh huh, in front of the commander. “Be careful what you say.”
“Your commander or mine? “Didn’t you summon me to ask for a favor?”
I know the general situation since I came here.
Joker card for a sure win.
A force to put pressure on the opponent and a hand to throw away.
It was just a condition filled with unpleasant content.
Even though it wasn’t reality, it felt so bad.
If it wasn’t for the Hallasan level, it would have been overturned right away.
“What the-!”
“Hey, mercenary. “You’d better be careful what you say.”
“He is a person who does not feel any power. Just killing it and summoning it again… … .”
People who casually say things that cannot be ignored.
Fight on the same side as these things?
Hwanwoong was so embarrassed that he burst out laughing.
What on earth are you doing?
‘Shall I reset? No, that doesn’t work either, does it?’
I wanted to challenge until another stage was reached, but unfortunately, once the tower was set, it was fixed until it was cleared.
Whatever the situation, you have to finish it and re-enter before a different battlefield is set up.
Therefore, whether I become porridge or a meal, I have to finish this battlefield.
“What is your power? “I will hand down the strategy accordingly.”
“Well, wouldn’t it be normal to start with discussing compensation and such?”
Are you trying to pamper me without giving me any money?
Hwanung asked, trying to make a fake smile.
If it had been just a few months ago, I would have bowed down.
What can a mere Sherpa do?
However, he now knows his worth.
Additionally, he knows the value of those who follow him.
If the leader of a group bows down, the followers will naturally be downgraded as well.
There is absolutely no reason to bow down here.
“what? compensation? Such arrogance-.”
“stop. okay. It’s natural for mercenaries to want compensation. “What do you want?”
“hmm… … .”
“That’s enough. When you’re fighting. “The warriors have already invaded the entrance to the desert a day away.”
While Hwanwoong was thinking, someone broke in and entered.
Even the commander took a step back at his appearance.
The energy it gave off was also quite amazing.
One of those wearing different armor.
He looked at Hwanung and said.
In a very arrogant manner.
“I don’t know what you want or what you’re hiding, but do your duty. “Don’t do anything dishonorable.”
“okay… … . “I’m going to do something, but there’s something I want to ask you.”
Musa, East… … .
No matter how much I thought about it, there was only one answer.
There’s no need to say much.
Hwanwoong opened a subspace and summoned two summons.
“By any chance, do you know these two?”
“That!?”
“Summoner? No, there is a summoner!?”
“So you were alone!”
When the leaders started to fuss, someone took out a sword.
Yes, it was him wearing different armor.
The sword sparks next to Hwanung with an unpleasant clanging sound.
“Who dares touch the Duke of Zhou’s jade body?”
“Ah, ahhh no!?”
“That woman-!?”
“Do you at least know the face?”
The place where the leadership is located.
What would it be like if someone who was extremely wary of that place came back alive?
Hwanung looked at the sky with a bewildered expression.
“Administrators? “Don’t you think this mission needs to be changed?”
“hound! “You must have died!”
“Are you a spy? “The warriors of the East planted a spy!?”
“You guys… … .”
The leadership is in a state of panic.
Eyasu found out who they were.
And even Gil Tae-rang, who became a mercenary king.
Amid the chaos, the message from the tower was heard without fail.
