feeling (感). The sense of perceiving energy.

Gigam is a sense of natural energy or agility as the word for ordinary warriors, and by honing it, it can be raised to the level of recognizing the presence of an enemy or grasping breathing and gaps.

On the other hand, Cha Shin Hyeon’s mood is different.

The cognitive ability that comes from the far-off state of nothingness makes it possible to feel even normal things that you would not normally feel.

For example, magical power or stamina is something you have to ‘see’ with your eyes by raising your intuition stat, but Cha Shin Hyeon ‘feels’ it as a feeling.

MP is a mysterious energy that can be confirmed only in the status window, but Cha Shin Hyeon can vaguely recognize that as well.

Even the Mystic Cube required when you first awaken as a Hunter. Cha Shin Hyeon was also aware of the power that gave humans a status window. It was only to the extent that he was caught only if he concentrated his mind alone, and even if he was caught, he could not interfere.

However, no matter how good a radar is, its accuracy tends to decrease as the distance increases.

Even if you open the sense of transcendence and put the entire dungeon within the senses, there is a difference between seeing directly in front of your nose and feeling it from afar.

It was because Cha Shin Hyeon discovered something much more interesting than a big cat, even though he sensed a large haze and came here.

“There are no more monsters nearby.”

He said after checking the surrounding 100 meters once more.

“You are still hunting. I will be away for a while.”

Before Ha-geun Kim could say anything, Cha Shin Hyeon’s new model disappeared as if it was turned off.

In fact, he didn’t go very far. The travel distance is about 60 meters. It’s just that the fog is so thick that I can’t see this side from Ha-geun Kim.

Of course, Cha Shin Hyeon came here to ‘see’.

A closer look made it even more suspicious.

Cha Shin Hyeon’s forehead was wrinkled.

‘What is this?’

A black line was drawn in a straight line in the misty air.

It’s a diagonal line, but the length is longer than Cha Shin Hyeon’s height. Strictly speaking, it was ambiguous to call it a line. Because it had some thickness.

Yep, cracks rather than lines.

It would be more appropriate to call it a crack. If you only see what it looks like

But it’s not a crevice of rocks, it’s not the ground, it’s empty space. What cannot be separated in the first place is divided.

‘No, did they split up?’

Moreover, although it was clearly an anomaly, there was nothing singularity caught in his senses.

Earlier, when he opened up the sense of transcendence, there was a reason he didn’t capture it. Except for the fact that it is visible, the cracks melted very naturally, like a part of the landscape.

If you believe in what you see with your eyes, you will be in big trouble. There are many types of tax saving techniques that dazzle people’s eyes.

Vision was definitely an indispensable sense, but at the same time it was also a sense that could not be trusted.

That is why this crack, which is being caught “only by the eye,” is very suspicious.

“·················ogue.”

After thinking for a moment, Cha Shin Hyeon pulled out the long sword she had kept in her inventory.

He slid the tip of the sword against the black part.

Shh.

just pass by

If this was a crack, the sword should have slipped through the crack, but it passed without any resistance as if cutting a hologram.

jig.

The spirit-infused sword trembled. A meticulously compressed gum cavity coated the surface of the sword body.

The blue shining sword touched the crack once more and passed.The result was the same.

shhh! Whoops!

I cut it quickly, cut it 10 times a day, and even tried to blow the sword, but nothing happened. It was like cutting into the air.

With the sword back, Cha Shin Hyeon carefully reached out this time. The tip of his finger touched the crack.

I wondered if there might be a difference between the sword and the hand… … There was no feeling. Even when he waved his hand, the crack was floating like an illusion, holding it in place.

‘Is it a mere welcome?’

There is no physical contact, and there is no reaction to aerodynamics.

I tried it to see if the magic power would be different, but it was inconsistent.

then what do you mean

A supernatural phenomenon that doesn’t exist? There is no environmental difference from the rest of the dungeon, so why did it only happen here, and what is the meaning of a dead one standing in the air?

I can’t see it, I can’t see it

Does Kim Ha-geun know anything? He has a long career as a hunter and has been to this dungeon several times, so you might not know.

The hunt seemed to be over, so Cha Shin Hyeon returned to the party.

“You are here soon.”

Kim Ha-geun welcomed him.

There is a rhythm that they have been doing so far, so even if you don’t say it, the Tamra guild members were tidying up. The two hunting dogs had already turned into monsters, and the five ice cat statues were slowly breaking down.

“Are you done with your business?”

“I checked, but it didn’t work. I have a few questions for Kim Ha-geun, but…”

It was when Cha Shin Hyeon was just about to speak.

“Oh oh!”

Cheers erupted from one side.

The two of them turned their heads to see what was going on.

“what’s the matter?”

“It’s a skill stone!”

One hunter came running with excitement.

A black stone about twice the size of a fairly large black stone was glistening in his hand.

“Hoo.”

Cha Shin Hyeon was modestly admiring.

“Did you come out holding a large mistletoe?”

“Yes.”

“Then maybe fogging-related skills…”

“It could be. I don’t know if it’s very good.”

It would be a pretty fatal weakness if it was operated in the same way as the fog pick.

Wouldn’t it lead to injury if you accidentally mist it and get hit by a skill? Humans do not have the ability to regenerate like mistletoe.

However, even so, it was well worth the use. Because there was no skill that became negative after being learned. You won’t know how it works unless you learn it yourself.

Anyway, it is a skill stone dropped by a large haze that belongs to a powerful axis. No matter how low you take it, it will be a skill with a rarity of C or higher.

So, there was usually talk of ownership.

“Congratulations.”

Of course, no one dared to make such a claim in front of Cha Shin Hyeon.

Cha Shin Hyeon came out of all the monsters he had caught, and he would not have come this far without Cha Shin Hyeon in the first place, or if he had been forced to come, he would have just been annihilated.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who fully understands the physiology of the hunter through experience, did not tremble in vain humility. Even if they fall, only they feel burdened again.

“The profit distribution was 8 to 2… … You can set the value of the skill stone at 1 billion and pay 200 million.”

“You don’t have to do that. What have we done…”

“You have to keep the contract. Who knows if this skill could be worth billions? If that’s the case, I’d rather be the one who beats you outrageously. Please understand that we will not sell it, so we estimated it at roughly 1 billion won.”

“We don’t care at all. Aren’t you going to learn it without selling it?”

“It’s not something I’m going to learn.”

The person Cha Shin Hyeon comes to mind is her sister.

She may not be able to use her fogging ability to attack, but maybe it will help her dodge quite a bit.

Money can be earned in other ways, but skills are not. Better to get it when you can.

“Anyway······.”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who was briefly delighted with her unexpected income, spoke out what she was meant to say.

“Give me a moment for the cleanup to be finished.”

“Is it because of the business from earlier?”

“Yes. Right in front.”

Leaving the other guild members aside for a while, the two walked through the fog.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who guided Kim Ha-geun in front of the crack, asked a question.

“What do you think this is?”

but

How was Kim Ha-geun’s reaction strange?

“Yes?”

“Something like this black crevice.”

“that… … What are you talking about…”

Around that time, Cha Shin Hyeon also felt strange.

Putting his hand on the crack, he asked again.

“… … Can’t you see this?”

“Yes. Is there something?”

“her.”

Cha Shin Hyeon smirked.

It was strange that it was not captured by any sense other than sight, but can it even be seen only by yourself?

“If it’s okay with you, could you explain it to me too?”

“that is······.”

Of course, words such as transcendental sense were omitted, and Cha Shin Hyeon briefly explained it.

After hearing the story, Ha-geun Kim put on a puzzled, yet bewildered expression on his face.

“The crack is something I’ve never heard of. What the hell is it…”

“That’s it. I wonder if the eyes are wrong.”

“Maybe it’s something I can’t see. Oh, okay?”

Kim Ha-geun’s eyes lit up.

“Is that the difference? stats.”

“There are stats that improve your eyes… … intuition?”

Cha Shin Hyeon remembered something he had forgotten.

“You have to raise your intuition stat to see things like magic, don’t you? Isn’t it similar to seeing you?”“Certainly, it could be.”

It sounded quite probable. Just as ordinary wizards do not feel magical power, but can see it, the Black Rift may be a similar case.

Of course, the fact that Cha Shin Hyeon couldn’t detect it was by no means ordinary.

‘Is it something that great?’

In the meantime, even if there is no stop, stop. If you look closely, the status window on the Hunter side only played an auxiliary role, but this was the first time this had happened.

It’s something you can only see with the help of stats.

Moreover, it can only be seen and cannot be interfered with at all.

Just like when you first got the status window. Do you feel like you are being hurt even though you know?

‘A little research… … You’ll need a lot.’

Cha Shin Hyeon’s eyes slowly subsided.

* * *

Even after she went to Jeju Island, Lee Ji-hye was busy with her eyes closed.

She made arrangements with Cha Shin Hyeon, but she couldn’t help but try to absorb her twilight right away. She had to crack down on the inside and outside of the guild and prepare thoroughly.

For her, she was fortunate that she had the guild leader, Jun-ho Jeon, alive.

Mass deaths of high-ranking hunters in both guilds. It’s because he took care of this very difficult and subtle issue to explain to the politicians or the special forces who are closely related to both guilds. The original guild leader was Jun-ho Jeon, so he was in charge of foreign affairs.

However, it was not an easy task just because it was an internal guild.

It was also a task to appease her bereaved family because the cause of her death could not be ascertained. Even though she did not openly betray her, she was frantic, such as having to find and punish those who sided with Twilight.

In the meantime, I had to constantly attack high-risk dungeons and reconnaissance new dungeons, so even two bodies were not enough.

‘It went well with the treatment.’

She is so busy that she doesn’t even have time to properly groom herself.

If Cha Shin Hyeon hadn’t healed her wounds, she would have taken quite a while to fully recover.

As Lee Ji-hye recalled her gratitude to Cha Shin Hyeon, her office door swung open.

Her Oh Dong-hwan, who looked more tired than her, came in. She sighed as she looked at her file folder in her secretary’s hand.

“Is it work again?”

“I’m sorry, but yes.”

Oh Dong-hwan also sighed and responded.

“I hope the work ends with just looking at the documents.”

“Unfortunately, it’s a field job. A new dungeon has been discovered.”

“No, another high-risk dungeon was discovered? How long has it been since Taebaek Dungeon was discovered?”

“Isn’t that a deliberately late-reported dungeon? You can’t put it into the count.”

Oh Dong-hwan kindly pointed it out.

Lee Ji-hye grunted and asked.

“So where are you?”

“It’s more about what happened rather than where.”

“Yes?”

“A fatality occurred during reconnaissance of this high-risk dungeon.”

Lee Ji-hye’s expression became serious.

“dead… … You say?”

“Yes.”

Oh Dong-hwan’s voice grew serious.

“I think this dungeon is not just a high-risk dungeon.”
