"Hyung-nim, you don't have to apany me every time, you know?" Jin-Woo grumbled.

  "Do you have a problem with it?" Jason asked, raising his eyebrow at him.

  "No, I don't say that."

  "The's go already."

  Jason and Jin-Woo stood in front of the Daesung Tower ih mode, ready to raid the burning tower. Sihere was nothing fun to do outside, Jason decided to apany Jin-Woo.

  Jin-Woo took out the Demon's Castle Key from the iory.

  It was a long, slender, golden key. At a casual g even resembled a fancy decorative item.

  The surrounding view suddenly transformed as soon as he stepped across the invisible boundary.

  *Rumble*

  They could already hear the sounds of fmes burning from this far away.

  The giant tower enveloped in fmes – the Demon's Castle, repg the Daesung Tower, filled up his entire view.

  Jin-Woo stored the Demon's Castle Key and took out an ash-grey key.

  *Creak*

  He didn't even do anything, yet the huge pair of doors began moving as the hinges issued loud creaks.

  *Sm!*

  Jin-Woo was flustered .

  He had had his Perception expao the max, yet he couldn't sense a single presenonsters from beyond the castle gates.

  'There are no monsters??'

  Jason took a step inside and moved forward. He observed the pd said to Jin-Woo pointing at the front.

  "This dungeon is different from the other ohe real fight will happen inside. Follow me!"

  Jin-Woo swallowed his saliva and followed him closely.

  Just as he stepped inside, a meical beep rang in his head.

  After reading the tent, a smile appeared on his face.

  Jason saw his smile and said, "Don't be happy so early! The reward will only be avaible after the quest is finished."

  Jin-Woo scratched his head with a smile.

  "I'll see you smile when you take a look at this first," Jason said as he poi the interior of the demon castle.

  'Heok?!'

  Jin-Woo's eyes widened immediately once he did.

  *Wuuuuu*

  Ihe castle was…. a ruined city. Quite uedly, it was a field-type dungeon.

  'What is this pce? Is this Seoul?'

  If everyone in Seoul died and a hundred years had passed by, would the city look like this?

  Jin-Woo's eyes narrowed to a slit.

  'So, like, where should I go now?'

  "Let's start from there." Jason poi a pilr of light that stretched beyond the sky, standing in pce of the famed Namsan Tower.

  Jin-Woo nodded his head and began walking in that dire.

  However, their steps had to e to a stop not long after.

  "Kekeke."

  "Kekekek."

  Monsters with smallish physical sizes began creeping out from the gaps of ruined buildings, one by one.

  'Low-Ranked Demon!'

  "Do you need a hand?" Jason asked in a joking toeasing Jin-Woo.

  Jin-Woo smiled, "Hah, no need, Hyung-nim. I'm enough for these weaklings."

  Right away…

  *Kwajeeck!*

  The 'Baruka's Dagger' pierced deeply into the forehead of one of the demons.

  The moment the demons' attention had shifted to the oh the dagger stuck to its forehead, Jin-Woo pounced on them like a predator poung on its prey.

  The remaining demoaken care of in the blink of an eye.

  Jason watched him hunting the demons with a satisfied expression.

  'The kid's growing up at a fast pace. But it's just the beginning.'

  It took him two hours to hunt all the demons on the first floor. After that, they moved to the sed floor using the entry permit.

  Jason didract their shadows as the demooo weak.

  They tio climb at a tremendous rate and in a matter of four days, they reached the 50th floor.

  "Huh, Hyung-nim, what happened?" Jin-Woo saw Jason's bored expression and asked cautiously.

  "You bastard! You're having all the fun and asking me what happened."

  "Hehe..."

  "Well, let's rap it quickly and go out for a drink."

  "Yes, Hyung-nim."

  They then shifted their attention toward the pilr of light. More specifically, a short distan front of that pilr.

  And a massive demon, plus scores of high-ranked demons, were standing there, waiting.

  Jin-Woo raised his sight higher.

  And he could see the giant demon's name, floating in the air in a deep crimson hue.

  [The Sn of the Lower Floors, The Avaricious Vul]

  Jason had already observed it closely and that demon was something that would make a good shadow soldier.

  "I wish you luck," Jason said with a smile as he turned around to distance himself. He had already found a good spot from where he could see everything.

  Shadow soldiers were summoned behind Jin-Woo. Not just the regur foot soldiers, but also the magic soldiers, the beast soldiers, as well as the two knights, too.

  And in front of them stood Jin-Woo.

  The two knights strode forward and stood oher side of him.

  Jin-Woo formed a pn in his mind and ordered his shadow soldier to initiate the attack.

  When Jin-Woo gave his signal, fmes flew out from the hands of the magic soldiers.

  *Swiiiish*

  *Swiiish!*

  *Kaboom!!*

  The fmes exploded he subordinates of Vul, signaling the beginning of the operation.

  Jason looked at the fight as he took out food that he had prepared before to enjoy it. He was feeling like he was watg a movie right now.

  He saw how Jin-Woo was nearly beaten by Vul. Jin-Woo was only able to win with a little lu his side.

  "Hahaha... you nearly got your ass whooped by the big guy, huh?" Jason said while trying to hold his ughter.

  "Yeah, I really uimated that big guy." Even though Jin-Woo didn't like but he still admitted it.

  "Still want to climb forward?"

  "I have to. The quest is still going on." Jin-Woo replied, his face revealing his fatigue.

  "Alright, let's check your rewards first then I'll tell you a little more about your power," Jason said in a serious tone for the first time.

  "My power?"

  Jin-Woo was also shocked. In these past months, he had never seen his big brother so serious.

  He quickly collected all his rewards before ing back to Jason.

  Jason looked at him with a deep smile before he asked, "Before I answer you, first tell me your thoughts about your power!"

  "My thoughts?"

  "Yeah, what do you think your power is?"

  "Well..." Jin-Woo scratched his head as he tried his best to expin. "I 't say for sure. But as you know I summon the dead and add them to my army."

  "What you say is only a part of it?" Jason shook his head and said with a smile. "Your power is... the trol over death."

  "trol over death?!" Jin-Woo was clearly taken aback by this remark. He had never put so much thought into it so it was a little surprising.

  Jason nodded and began how it all started.
