"So, this is the dungeon..."
Even if Minjun had gotten the information from hacking various information on the planet by using the Manager, he had to say, this feeling was novel, as it felt like he was a character from an RPG game.
As he stepped through the portal alone, he met a massive, dark subterranean cavern swarming with High Orcs.
"ROOOOOOOOOO!!!"
"RAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"HORAAAAAAAA!!!!"
"I don't know what you are saying, but... strangely enough, I feel like I can defeat all of you."
These monsters were taller and bigger than him, exuding a bloodthirsty aura that would shatter everyone's will the moment they saw it.
Yet, strangely enough, he was calm as if he didn't feel anything from their threat.
If he had to say, it was like how he walked to the zoo, and despite seeing many beasts that could eat humans, he didn't feel fear; he just felt relaxed and enjoyed the view, knowing they could do nothing.
Still, if he did nothing, then those beasts would really do something, yet even if he did nothing, the "Manager" did something and managed everything for him.
[Echolocation pulse mana deployed. Mapping the cavern structure. 4,320 hostile entities detected. The High Orc Boss was located 4 kilometers deep. Shielding: Physical.]
Minjun didn't even break his stride. He raised one hand: his Managed handled targeting, trajectory calculation, and mana output.
No, the Manager even helped him to hold his bow perfectly, as the glimmering mana of the arrow was forming on the invisible mana string.
His mind didn't even think of anything; he was in "auto-pilot" mode, and because of that, he was just dumbfounded when he saw the arrow was released.
Swooooosh!
The single arrow transformed, divided, and formed into thousands of needle-thin, homing mana arrows. They didn't just fly straight; they curved around stalactites, bounced off walls, and tracked the thermal signatures of the Orcs.
"..." The Orcs.
"Eh?"
Splash! Splash! Splash!
There wasn't a single roar, and the entire vanguard of the High Orc army was systematically headshot in exactly 3.2 seconds. The cavern fell dead silent before the bodies even hit the floor.
"..." Minjun.
Yet, he wasn't the only one who was surprised as Cha Hae-In, Son Ki-Hoon, and his fully buffed, adrenaline-filled Strike Squad charged through the portal, screaming battle cries, ready to save him from his own arrogance. They saw a scene that made them go silent.
They didn't see the desperate battle of the newly born Hunter; instead, they saw the difference between why they were at the bottom of the food chain and he was at the top.
"S-Rank Archer Hunter...."
Was it so powerful!?
However, Minjun didn't even pay attention to them, as he was on "auto-pilot" mode, everything was done perfectly, and he was like a machine that moved preciously without a single mistake.
He had become the most perfect archer in the world.
The cavern was empty of life. The walls were perfectly intact, save for the thousands of Orcs dropping loot simultaneously.
Yet this was far from over, as many of the monsters were still waiting to be killed, especially the boss, who still existed. Instead of a normal method, he used a different one that stunned them all.
"Um... Kim Minjun-nim..."
They subconsciously asked him a question in a respectful attitude, as they had seen his power, watching how he obliterated thousands of High Orcs in just a few seconds, wondering why he suddenly looked at the wall. Still, Minjun didn't answer, focusing on the information the Manager had gained.
[Boss entity stationary. 3.8 kilometers north-northwest of Obstacles: 14 meters of solid rock.]
Normally, a raid team has to fight through hours of minions to reach the Boss Room.
However, Minjun was different; he was an S-Rank Archer with a unique cheat that allowed him to do less work, so distance and obstacles didn't exist for him.
He didn't walk to the Boss Room. He stood near the entrance, summoned a single, massive arrow resembling a railgun slug, and pointed it directly at a solid cave wall.
"Um... Minjun-nim?"
Everyone was nervous and slightly scared, yet Cha Hae-In watched him closely, and as Minjun released the string—
Swooosh!
The arrow breached the sound barrier, punched a perfectly round hole through miles of solid rock, and vaporized the High Orc Boss mid-sentence while it sat on its throne, and caused an explosion in the boss's room!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!
[Boss entity eliminated. Dungeon clear confirmed. Portal stabilization in progress.]
"....."
Eh?
Was it over?
That was it?
Minjun felt strange, but as the Manager had said, he decided to believe it. He felt so complex, somehow. He thought his battle would be full of romance and adventure, like the story of a shounen manga, but it turned out to be like a max-level player with the best equipment walking through the beginner area, destroying the ecosystem with sheer power.
"Um... is it done?" Cha Hae-In walked beside him and asked with a loss.
"Yup."
"....." Cha Hae-In.
"It's easier than I thought it would be."
"....." Everyone.
They wanted to say something, but no words came out.
"Captain Son."
"Ah, yes, Sir! Please, your order!"
Son Ki-Hoon, one of the most influential Hunters in the Hunters Guild, was directly on the line, ready to take Minjun's order!
Yup, he knew his limits well.
He was just an A-Rank, and Minjun was the S-Rank, yet even so, he had never expected that the distance between them was so immense, and it broke his pride directly, as he knew that no amount of hard work was possible for him to be able to reach his back.
Instead, he should swear loyalty; that way, it was the most natural course, right?
Yet, many of them felt an existential crisis since... if Minjun could finish the dungeon alone, what was the point of them?
"Ask the mining team to clear up the dungeons, tell them to be careful, and the Boss core is about four kilometers down that tunnel I just made. Please be careful when extracting it; I want it intact."
Minjun wanted to observe the boss's core, wondering whether the Manager could make something out of it.
"Y-Yes!"
While the A-Team was having an existential crisis inside the dungeon, Choi Jong-In was watching the live mana-feed from his office. He saw the dungeon signature go from "Critical Threat" to "Cleared" in under a minute. He didn't panic about his Hunters being useless. He laughed hysterically.
"Hahahahahaha!"
He immediately picked up his phone and called his broker. "Buy everything. All the mining equipment. Buy all the cargo trucks in Seoul. Our profit margins just went up 10,000%."
Meanwhile, Minjun walked out of the dungeon, and as Cha Hae-In followed him, she stuck to him, as he was the only one who allowed her to live without the pain of the revolting smell.
"Where are you going?"
"There should be another dungeon, right? Let's clean them up."
Stretching his arms high, Minjun thought to work for a while, yet without a doubt, his existence became a legend.
