Jinhyuk was standing on one of the cliff of a mountain . It was a part of a range of mountains covering an entire valley on both sides . It looked like an empire or kingdom but he wasn't sure . The buildings which could be seen were neither tall or had any touch of modernisation . It was more like an medieval city . He jumped off the cliff and landed inside a forest . It was dense and Jinhyuk could sense many omnious presence throughout the jungle .
He walked through the jungle but suddenly , the ground collapsed and a huge snake . Jinhyuk jumped back and took out his sword . He wasn't scared or flinched by the sudden appearance of the snake . It was as if he knew that it would appear . Jinhyuk jumped back but in that moment an arrow passed through his side and struck the snake on its eye . In the same way , four more arrows stuck at its different locations as the snake collapsed and fell . Jinhyuk was surprised that there were other people inside the dungeon other than him .
At that moment, few people came out of the forest with bow in their hands and a bag of arrows on their waist .
These people had a medieval appearance along with their clothes . But the most surprising part was that they had long ears and long hairs which are green in colour .
"A-An elf ?" asked Jinhyuk
"Who are you ?" asked one elf with an arrow in his bow and raised towards Jinhyuk
"I am Sung Jinhyuk"
"How did you come here ?"
"Well you see , I came here through a gate or portal"
"What's your race ?"
"Human"
"Raise your hands and follow us"
"Alright"
Jinhyuk raised his hands . Three elfs raised their bows towards him and more three walked ahead of him . They seem to be taking Jinhyuk towards the kingdom . They slowly crossed the forest as Jinhyuk saw a huge gate with two guards holding spears standing in front . The guards didn't stop the elves and all of them along with Jinhyuk entered the walls leading towards the city .
Jinhyuk saw that they were travelling through a market area as many people were buying and selling goods . There were many restaurants and café throughout . The people took Jinhyuk ahead of all these places as they headed towards a castle at the top of the cliff which was artificially created . Jinhyuk looked amazed as he saw the entire castle . It was huge . The size couldn't be compared to the castles on Earth . They entered a huge gate as they were now being accompanied by two more elf guards wearing white dress and a red robe hanging from there sides . They had swords attached to their waist . All eight elves along with Jinhyuk entered a hall . It was a huge hall . It was lavishly decorated and brightly lighted .
The hall was filled with people . There were many elves standing on both sides and a path created between them which leads to a throne . It was a huge throne and the person sitting on it is the king of this elven kingdom . Beside him stood a beautiful lady around Jinhyuk's age . All the elves who brought Jinhyuk here bowed as they came near the throne . Jinhyuk wasn't sure what he needed to do so he also bowed in front of the person .
"My king , I brought the person who was found in the forest . He is a human so I suspect of him being a spy of the neighbouring kingdom" said one of the elves who brought Jinhyuk
The person sitting on the throne looked towards Jinhyuk . Jinhyuk was staring at him with a continuous glance .
"I am the King of the Elven Kingdom of Reivendell . My name is Augustus Von Reivendell . State your name ?" said the person sitting on the throne
"I am one of the Strongest Human from my planet Earth . My name is Sung Jinhyuk" replied Jinhyuk
"I like your confidence but I want to ask that whether the words said by Delvia are true ?" asked the king
"It's not , Your Majesty" Jinhyuk replied with a unwavering and confident tone .
"Then , what is your purpose here ?" asked the king
"I didn't come here intentionally . I came here through a gate which summoned in my world" replied Jinhyuk
"Do you expect me to believe me that you are an otherworlder ?"
"I am just saying the truth"
"Hmm , I can't say that I have true faith in your words but I started to kind of like you" said the king (he had a big smile)
"Thank You"
"I would like for you to prove your faith . If you manage then you will be considered a comrade and if you don't means you are to be executed"
"What can I do to prove my faith ?"
"You are going to participate in two competitions . One of them is a archery competition and other one is a sword battle . If you manage to win one of the two then you are free and if you win in both then your skills will be recognised and you will be considered an important guest by our kingdom"
"I accept" said Jinhyuk
"Very Well . Both the competitions will be held tomorrow . You can leave"
Jinhyuk and the other elves bowed once again and left . Jinhyuk came down to the city and was searching for a place for the night . He walked through the market area when he saw a almost run down building . There was a small signboard hanging which had the word INN written on it . Jinhyuk entered and took a room for the night . He got many glances from entering the inn to the door of his room . It was normal because nobody before saw a human in the elf kingdom .
Jinhyuk entered the room and laid down on the bed . He was tired of the stress he went through . He wanted to clear up some of his thoughts . He wondered that if the things he sees now is actually a dungeon or not ? . There were some points which made him think this way . First , the dungeon can only be entered by someone who has the system . Second , this place isn't like an ordinary dungeon . The monsters in dungeon are hostile but these people are not . These are regular people of other species who came into existence alongside humans .
Jinhyuk's thoughts :
Black Dragon Sylus said something similar as well "Aside from your Realm , there are many different realms of beings . There exists The Giants , The Elves , The Dark Elves and The Undead" . I have to investigate .
Jinhyuk was thinking these things when his eyes grew heavier because of the fatigue and he dozed off to sleep .
-ON THE OTHER SIDE-
-Location : BUSAN-
-CENTRAL BUREAU OF HUNTERS-
The front gate was blocked off and was guarded by 2 A-Rank Hunters from the Association . This was the place where Min Jungwoo was kept after he was arrested by Sung Jinhyuk . Suddenly , a gust of wind rushed through the front gate . A man dressed in black clothes is seen in front of the building . The hunters were on guard so they spotted the enemy . They rushed towards him but were unable to do anything . Both the A-Rank Hunters were immediately eliminated with two slashes of sword . The man looked at them laying on the ground . He had a evil aura surrounding him .
He entered the building and went towards the second floor . He walked through the corridor and reached a room which had the marking " 2-B " on its left side of the door . He entered the room and went towards a glass chamber . It was filled with a green liquid and inside it was Min Jungwoo . He was unconcious . A creepy smile was seen on the face of the man as he took out a test tube from his pocket . He went towards the side of the chamber and placed the test tube in a slot replacing the previous one .
As soon as he placed the tube , a red liquid passed through a pipe and was injected inside Min Jungwoo . In a matter of seconds , veins popped on his arms , chest and face as he opened his eyes which was red . The man again smiled in a more creepy way and turned back . He mumbled while leaving the room
"Let's see how you handle this , Sung Jinhyuk"
