Ruins in the heart of the jungle.
A place full of old buildings, as if to prove that civilization existed here in the distant past.
Someone appeared here.
A being dressed in red robes.
Holding a staff made of unidentified bone, he had a very small physique, but he exuded a great sense of intimidation.
That would be natural.
He is Astevan Urbatra Mordem.
Because he was the lord of the immortals who created all the dead currently roaming this jungle and boasted of being the number one lord of the abyss.
【With this, all preparations are complete.】
Three days since I first opened my eyes.
Astevan stayed in the jungle and created numerous undead, while also coming up with a plan to effectively obtain the magic power of the abyss.
The solution is the labyrinth.
Among them, it is a labyrinth that absorbs the magic power of all living things within the labyrinth and converts it into the magic power of the abyss.
As soon as he completed the labyrinth, he searched for areas adjacent to the jungle. The purpose was to find the place with the strongest magical response.
Eventually, a suitable location was found.
【City of humans.】
Directly in the direction of Schulpern.
After finding a suitable location, the labyrinth moved like a living creature and headed south. And it had just engulfed the city.
In this way, the purpose has been achieved.
【Now all that’s left is】
All the labyrinth does is absorb the magic power of living things and then change it into the magic power of the abyss. Then, Astevan’s magical power will naturally be replenished.
By the time the judgment was finished.
Someone appeared.
【My king.】
A dead man wearing a lion’s mask.
He is the first member of Asteban’s family and is also an apostle.
It was agent Kalex.
He said, bowing his head.
【This is a report from an observer.】
Asteban nodded his head silently. He means to give permission to speak. Kalex’s story continued.
【It is said that the leader and gladiator, including the priest who left the forest earlier, were attacked.】
News that three families were harmed.
Asteban’s eyes narrowed at the sudden news. He showed his discomfort, but soon softened his lips.
【Was this done by a star follower?】
【They say that’s not the case.】
【Then who is it?】
【I don’t know for sure, but I think it’s probably the ‘stranger’ mentioned by the eyeball.】
gentile. At those words, Asteban’s eyes glowed slightly. It was because I remembered what I heard from Lacus when I was in the abyss.
【Because he is a stranger】
A being who came here from another world following the call of the stars. Lacus called the being a stranger.
warned at the same time.
A stranger would be as much of an offense to the abyss as an agent of the stars. Asteban, who was recalling his words at the time, soon opened his mouth.
【Kalex.】
【Yes, king.】
【Choose six of your family members and send them to the labyrinth.】
Asteban’s remaining family members are nine.
Kallex’s eyes flashed fiercely at the order to dispatch the majority of them.
【Perhaps what the king wants is】
【Extermination of Gentiles.】
【All right. I will follow your orders.】
Kalex bows his head politely.
After a while, he disappeared like smoke and Asteban looked south again.
It was in the direction of the labyrinth.
【Not much time left now.】
Asteban’s ultimate goal.
That is, building an eternal kingdom where no one grows old or dies. No one can tolerate interfering with this.
Therefore, I planned to exclude anything that could be a variable or obstacle. The stranger just mentioned was one of them.
【I will surpass you this time.】
Asteban looked west.
Based on the magical spring at the center of the continent, the southern desert is located. He stared intently at this and muttered softly.
【Kazan Rudrik.】
A voice mixed with sadness and hatred.
However, it was soon buried by the blowing wind and disappeared. Eventually, when the wind stopped, Astevan also disappeared without a trace.

Right after darkness engulfed Schulfern.
Suddenly, the space was distorted, and in an instant, I felt a headache. Unbearable pain. Noah squeezed her eyes shut.
“Ah!”
That’s not all.
I felt shaky and dizzy.
It’s so hard to keep balance.
Afterwards, I sat down to rest and the pain gradually subsided. Noah barely came to his senses and gently opened his eyes.
‘What just happened… … ?’
Is it because right after I had a strong headache?
I couldn’t remember much because my mind was so confused. She was dazed for a moment, then opened her palm and tapped her cheek vigorously.
Clap clap!
This is to understand the situation.
Noah, who managed to regain his senses, recalled step by step what had just happened.
‘We organized a punitive force to go into the jungle.’
A punitive force consisting of a total of nine people.
Except for this, the rest decided to take refuge in Murka, a commercial city south of Schulfern, to prepare for a possible second attack.
I remember this clearly up to this point.
‘and… … .’
The soldiers watching the jungle reported some news with urgent faces. After a while, right after remembering what they were shouting.
Noah opened his eyes wide.
“labyrinth!”
All my memories from the past came back.
A black fog was creeping in from the direction of the jungle, and the whole of Schulfern was engulfed in thick darkness.
‘that’s right. It was definitely a labyrinth.’
There was something similar in the original.
Of course, it didn’t happen in Schulfern, it happened after the door to the abyss was opened. Anyway, there was a moving labyrinth like this back then.
‘I never thought I would hit a player.’
Noah pursed his lips.
Of course, the existence of the labyrinth was expected. However, he only thought he would encounter them after entering the jungle, but he did not expect them to attack so openly.
However, Asteban overlooked something.
The very existence of Noah.
She has repeated numerous rounds so far and experienced many different labyrinths. She also remembers how to escape from the labyrinth.
‘First, let’s find out the types of labyrinths.’
There are many different types of Astevan’s labyrinths.
From labyrinths that show hallucinations to labyrinths that make you wander through a maze with no exit. Depending on what kind of labyrinth it is, the way out is different.
So, I was just about to look around.
Noah stopped walking.
“This… … .”
This is because he saw bluish smoke flowing from his body and being absorbed into the darkness.
The identity of smoke is none other than magical power.
And darkness means the labyrinth itself. Noah, who had come to this point, wrinkled her face.
“Ugh! After all, it’s gluttony.”
The Labyrinth of Gluttony.
It literally means a labyrinth that eats away your magic power and vitality. The only way to prevent this is to escape from the labyrinth.
‘I won’t be able to last a day at this rate.’
In other words, you must escape before the day is over. Otherwise, the magic power will be depleted and the existence itself will be absorbed into the labyrinth.
Noah trembled.
I was with the thought that I had to get out of here as soon as possible.
‘But before that… … .’
First, you must join the group.
As they were swallowed by the labyrinth, the space became distorted, and in this process, the group was scattered.
Moreover, to escape the Labyrinth of Gluttony, you need the power of Laurea, Perticia, and Ulan.
‘If possible, I would like to meet Ulan first.’
Regardless of the reason why you need to escape the labyrinth, being with Ulan makes you feel calm. Also, your personal safety will be guaranteed.
Noah walked carefully.
How long has it been like that? Now is the time when anyone thought it would be okay to show up.
“… … !”
I saw a light twinkling in the distance.
Light that eats away the darkness. It is the power of divinity.
Who is it? Is it Laurea?
Or Ian? Feeling happy, Noah ran to the place where the light appeared after a month. However, what she encountered was a somewhat unexpected person.
“oh! you are… … .”
A paladin who has just finished praying.
It was Paladin Master, Cadel Dune Shanktus.
6.
Meanwhile, at that time.
Like Noah, there was someone who wandered through the labyrinth. It was Sven Isaac, a Myoin hunter with pointy ears.
‘Where am I?’
I was definitely in Schulfern.
Then I suddenly got a headache, and after writhing in pain, I came to my senses and found myself in this place.
So, when I was looking back on my past memories.
“Milena!”
He regained his memory and opened his eyes.
This is because the last sight Sven saw was Milena and the rear team trying to move to Murka, just before Schulfern was swallowed up by darkness.
‘No way, Milena was also caught up… … !’
If so, I had to find it quickly.
Because this darkness felt uneasy for some reason. However, because it was difficult to see, Sven used his other senses.
The sense of smell. He used his sense of smell, which was much better than anyone else’s, to follow Milena’s scent.
But no matter how much I sniffed, I couldn’t smell Milena. These facts gave Sven a reasonable guess.
‘Aren’t you swept away by darkness?’
It would be more appropriate to look at it that way.
Sven realized this and breathed a sigh of relief. As the confused emotions subsided, the cool-headed reason typical of hunters returned.
‘I need to find an exit.’
He walked straight away.
To find a way out of this.
But it soon stopped in place. This was because I felt a loud presence not far away.
‘What is this sound?’
The sound of footsteps pounding the ground.
Judging from the vibrations, it seemed to be at least 3 meters tall. If so, the possibility that it was a human was low, so I immediately took out my arrow.
So that you can fight at any time.
But what I feared did not happen.
“That… … .”
The identity of the footsteps is a giant golem.
At that time, the golem also stopped moving and looked at where Sven was. As the strange confrontation continued, Sven spoke first.
It was because I knew who the other person was.
“You must… … .”
“Ulaanbaatar.”
A low-pitched voice was heard at that time.
Ulan, who was wearing magic armor, took off his helmet and made eye contact with Sven.
Then he continued his introduction.
“I am a student at Arsene Academy.”
“… … Sven Isaac.”
Immediately after finishing a simple statement.
The two each took out their weapons.
Because I realized that we are not the enemy.
Sven, who had joined Ulan, stared at him and suddenly asked a question.
“You mean it.”
“… … ?”
“Do you know where this is?”
There was a reason for asking this question.
It was because Ulan looked so calm. As if I had been there several times.
And Sven’s prediction was correct.
“This place is a labyrinth.”
“labyrinth?”
“Yes, it is one of the many labyrinths created by the immortal lord Astevan. “I remember because I’ve been trapped several times in my past life.”
Astevan? Past life?
Sven made a puzzled expression at the sudden, incomprehensible sound.
Still, the nuance of what he said seemed like he knew the identity of this space, so I asked him if he knew how to escape.
With a hint of anticipation.
But this quickly broke down.
“I do not know.”
“what? why?”
“I was always trapped in the labyrinth, and it was always my colleagues who pulled me out.”
Ulan answers confidently.
Are you saying this is bragging? Sven glanced at Ulan as if he were pitiful. Ulan burst into laughter at this sight.
It was a familiar reaction.
Because Sven was the colleague who rescued the most Ulan trapped in the labyrinth.
“No, it looks like a labyrinth at first glance, so why on earth would you go in there? I thought only the brain was made of muscles, but are eyeballs also muscles?”
Sven was shouting nervously.
He said he would pretend not to know whether he was trapped or not from next time, but even so, he was the one who came forward and helped Ulan before anyone else when he was trapped in the labyrinth.
After finishing the nostalgic reminiscence.
Ulan returned to the main topic.
“But there is no need to worry.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Noah, he would know how to escape.”
“… … Noah?”
“He is my colleague. “He had black hair.”
As soon as I heard the mention of black hair, I knew who it was. Because out of all the group, there was only one girl with black hair.
Then, Ulan continued.
“Find Noah.”
“Did you tell me by any chance?”
“Yes.”
“Now you want me to find a guy I’ve never had a conversation with? “In a dark place like this?”
Sven asks in an exasperated tone.
Ulan nodded.
“You can do it.”
“No, on what basis… … .”
“You have a great sense of smell, right? “So much so that even someone who comes into contact with it once will remember the smell for several days.”
This time Sven was speechless.
Eyes wide open as if in surprise.
After a while, he glanced at Ulan, his eyes filled with strong caution.
“How do you know that?”
“heard.”
From Sven in his past life.
Ulan, who skipped the last words, stood up.
Then he spoke, pointing to the darkness that he could not see even an inch in front of him.
“Anyway, Noah is the only one who knows how to escape from the labyrinth. So find it somehow.”
“… … “I tell you in advance that even if you know the smell, there is no guarantee that you will be able to find it.”
“Please take note.”
When Ulan’s answer came back, Sven sighed deeply. Then he immediately sniffed his nose.
Thinking of the smell of Noah, the girl who knew how to get out of the labyrinth. After a while, Sven’s mouth, which had been tightly closed, opened.
“I’m not sure, but it looks like this way.”
“good. “Move right away.”
Ulan suddenly advances in the direction he pointed. Sven burst into laughter at the sight of him acting as if his answer was the correct answer.
‘He’s a strange guy.’
The two are practically meeting each other for the first time.
We met for the first time in battle earlier, and all we exchanged were brief exchanges. However, I felt endless trust and faith from Ulan.
A type of person I have never met before.
When I felt a strange feeling, Ulan, who had been walking with great strides, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
“what? “Why do you stop?”
“It is the enemy.”
“enemy?”
What does that mean all of a sudden?
Sven frowned. Then, his face soon became as hard as stone. This is because he sensed the enemy’s presence one step later than Ulan.
A powerful presence felt from afar.
Sven immediately opened his eyes.
“Those guys… … !”
Monsters dressed as beasts.
There are as many as three of them.
A moment of tension appeared on Sven’s face as powerful people appeared out of nowhere.
“Fight. Take cover.”
“what? No, wait… … .”
Suddenly fighting? Without any plan?
I wanted to ask that question, but I couldn’t.
Before Sven finished speaking, Ulan had already kicked off the ground and ran away.
“This is crazy!”
It was truly an attack without any countermeasures.
Sven crumpled his face and cursed. On the other hand, contrary to his angry voice, he was busy feeding arrows to the bowstring.
It was to join the battle.
