The 31st Piece Overturns the Game Board

Chapter 120

Chapter 120

The room Changsik guided Seol to was more than what Seol expected.

"Woah! It's super big!"

Even though her room in the Empire was still much bigger, Karen made a loud fuss about the room.

The lodging Changsik prepared was definitely way too big for just one person.

As such, Karen commented to Seol about it.

"Seems like he's pretty serious about this."

"He probably is."

Since Seol had experienced the Labyrinth of Penance before, he could understand Changsik's feelings somewhat.

Seol suddenly became curious about something and asked Karen.

"...What?"

"Were there labyrinths during your time too?"

"There were. We called them something else, though."

"Something else?"

"We called them graves. Rumors were, they really were someone's graves, and the people who went there never returned."

"No one returned?"

"Yup, no one. After that, Jin scared everyone by saying no one should ever go there, and the attention surrounding it died down. Well, there were crazy people back then too, and grave robbers that went in on their own, but... obviously, no one came back."

Seol nodded.

'So labyrinths have existed since way back then.'

Since it wasn't made recently, it was hard to discern someone's intent for creating it. Not to mention that because it was so old, even if there was intent behind it, the reasoning must have become quite blurred.

'Who made the labyrinths? Why did they make it?'

Seol had no way of finding out the reason now, nor was it particularly important.

The most important thing for Seol right now was that he had to clear one.

'Still, the Labyrinth of Penance is at least doable compared to the other labyrinths.'

The difficulty of the other labyrinths was already notorious among players to the point that it didn't even need to be mentioned.

Still, the Labyrinth of Penance was still challenging. It was only easy when compared to the other labyrinths.

'Especially when you consider the fact that we're entering one so early...'

The difficulty would obviously be nightmarish.

Seol wouldn't have entered a labyrinth so early if it were a regular situation. It was impossible for any piece to clear a labyrinth this early in the game.

'However...'

Despite knowing all of this, Seol still decided to enter the labyrinth.

The labyrinth tested everything about a person.

It tested their strength, wisdom, and even their mental fortitude.

Even so, Seol had reasons to enter the labyrinth now.

First, he was confident.

He already attempted the Labyrinth of Penance with two of his pieces and gained a lot of information through that. Therefore, he was confident he could clear it as long as there weren't too many problems.
