That mysterious invinsible being had knowledge, it had power and most importantly it was most likely older than Sen could possibly imagine. There were many reasons for Sen to consider this being as an existence that far surpassed anything he had seen in his entire life, and yet here it was freaking out over this thing.

Specter, that's what he was. Well at least he was half-specter. Now he didn't look any different from other humans and he didn't have any advantages over others....So being a half-specter wasn't exactly something shocking to him. It wouldn't change his life to learn he wasn't totally human when in the end it gave him nothing.

However the being wasn't thinking like that obviously.

"Why are you even freaking out ? I can't very well understand you if you just keep talking to yourself. And i'm the one who should be the most concerned here, not you." Sen said as he continued to play around with his command panel. While the being had an existential crisis, Sen explored the menus and found a list of all the structures the dungeon contained. Now it contained the main structure that was like a very old and partially broken castle, but it also contained another structure.

[ Wolf Den: Creates an F-Rank Wolf Unit every 48 hours. Has a limit of ten units. ]

This was....Very instructive. The being hadn't really explained what the structures were. It was safe to assume there existed many types of structures, and among those type of structures...There were structures that spawned creatures. It wasn't really a surprise.

Many scientists and hunters had come up with the hypothesis that the creatures inside the dungeon were either teleported into the dungeons or created through magic. This hypothesis came from the observation of variou species.

Hunters had brought back a few different creatures and forced them to live in various environments. What was strange was the fact that some creatures couldn't live well in certain environments, even though they spawned in the exact same environments inside the dungeons. It made literally no sense for those creatures to naturally appear and live in those areas, especially when other areas had food and water. They had no good reasons to pop up from those places and continue to live there.

However it seemed like the theory lacked one thing, the summoning structures. Now the Wolf Den had an icon that showed how it looked, and Sen immediately understood why no one found out. It looked like some random shit put together by wolves to make a den. No one would suspect those structures to be magical and to have summoning properties.

This could be a valuable information, until someone found out on their own that is.

"Alright...I should be calm now. My head is buzzing, but I should be alright. Now look at this with your empty green eyes and tell me what you see." The being said as a very long scroll appeared out of nothing and seemingly floated in the air.

Sen took a look at it and saw it was just a list of names, but not any names. It contained what looked like codenames.

"Agent Mercury, Shark, Blue, Wood Shadow...The hell is that ?" Sen asked, not really getting the being's point. That was until a certain part of the scroll got a bit teared up and Sen understood the being was poking it with it's finger.

He looked at this exact point and gasped.

"Oi oi oi.....The fuck is that supposed to mean ? Seneos....Agent Ovelord ?!" He exclaimed before grabbing the scroll to take a closer look. However as soon as he grabbed it, all the names disappeared except his own.

"Wha...."

"You aren't supposed to see it. Something or someone is preventing you from getting access to those informations. Didn't you noticed that all the names who were too far from your own names looked kinda blurry ? They weren't available for some reason. It's like someone zoomed on a part of a big list, the part containing your name, and since it was zoomed we can't see the other parts as they got blurry when the picture was taken." The being said.

It quickly turned around when the yell it expected from Sen didn't come.

"What's going on ? Cat got your tongue, boy ?"

".....Cat got your tongue ?...Cat got your tongue ?!!!" Sen screamed as he tried and failed to grab the being. It was about to chuckle but stopped in it's tracks when Sen turned around and glared at it...Well glared at nothing but air, but the being was indeed in that direction.

"...You're freaking me out now, boy. The hell is going on ?"

"So what....You think this is normal ? You're a random being that came from a dungeon and you know expressions from earth ! Not only that but you know how pictures work....You digged up informations in my brain or something ?!"

".....Oh....That's actually a very good question."

And so everything froze around the two. The being was perplexed due to Sen's question and said man knew not how to react. What did it mean by ' That's a good question ' ?

" You know things, but in the end you really don't know anything." Sen suddenly said. The being clicked it's tongue as per it's habits and snorted.

"I know plenty of things, boy. I just don't really got an answer for that question. That does make no real sense, and I didn't look into your brain, simply because I can't do it easily without your approval, and I wasn't wasting my time on doing something that pointless.....So why do I know these things ? I'm pretty confident I never got out of the dungeon ever since my....Birth ? Sounds weird to say....Birth." It said as Sen facepalmed.

"How are you supposed to be my guide when you don't know shit." He lamented before he got punched in the chin.

"I'll have you know , mister' Oh I'm so disappointed' , that I know much more than you'll ever do ! I just don't know why I got that particular knowledge...And I don't even know what specters are. I just had an urge to show you that list after I panicked because of your species. I don't know where it came from or even what it's about."

"Well, welcome to the clueless club. But let's not lose too much time on those matters. Like usualy I'm just going to live my little humble life as if nothing happened !" Sen declared before moving on and going on his way to leave the dungeon.

"So what ? Stuff like that already happened to you ? "

"....You could say that. But I usually just ignore the matters when they get too confusing. If they are truly important, they always come back to hit me in the face anyway. Now I just need to focus on beating dungeons. By the way, i can't really speak to someone normally without knowing their name....Aaaand the sudden ' Uhhhh' sound coming from you makes me think you don't have a name. I'm just going to consider you're a woman since you change your voice all the time but take a feminine voice more often than not and.....I'mma call you.....Vodka." Sen said. He immediately put his hands over his ears, expecting an outburst. However it never came.

"You're not angry I named you Vodka ?" Sen asked. If he could actually see the being, he would have looked at tilting it's head to the side. A few seconds of silence passed as Sen thought the being was bubbling up with anger. As such, the tension grew until the being talked.

" What does Vodka mean ?"

"...I'm just gonna stop thinking at this point. You know stuff, then you don't know stuff. This is making me question reality right now."

*********

( An hour later in Seoul , Hongdae, in front of an E-Rank dungeon gate )

Sen was currently warming up his hands with his breath as he watched agents from the Hunter's Guild move around to check on the dungeon.

"I'm very sorry sir, we weren't expecting anyone to enter this dungeon today. We haven't checked it's state in two days, so the process will take approximately ten minutes." A security guard from the Hunter's Guild said.

"Ah, yes. It's alright." Sen responded somewhat awkwardly. The security guard quickly moved away as Sen looked at him in slight shock.

"What's going on this time ? You just gape at everything around you like a freaking child. If anything, I'm supposed to be the child discovering stuff here. " The Vodka said.

' You said I could talk to you like this, but why are you speaking loudly ?! You want people to hear you ?!' Sen asked in his mind.

Vodka simply sat down in the sand and sighed.

"No need to worry dumbass, only you can hear me. I'm pretty sure I exist only to you. We passed by a dog a few minutes before arriving here, the thing didn't even spot me. If a dog doesn't spot me even though I walked only a few centimeters away from it, I'm pretty sure nothing in the world can spot me."

' Wow....Like a ghost, but even more invisible....It's kinda sad. ' Sen thought before Vodka punched his ankle.

'....Okay I deserved that one. '

"Anyway drunkard, you looked pretty damn depressed before when you had to pay the entry fee....Was it that expensive ? Ain't it a really weak dungeon ?" Vodka asked as Sen sighed. He looked at the KHG's( An: The Hunter Guild will be called KHG from now on, it stands for Korean Hunter Guild ) official who was currently taking the entry fee from other hunters and shook his head.

' The entry fee itself shouldn't be that big. However this dungeon is a battle type. I'm not dumb enough to pick some random dungeon. I can't get quality for now, so I'll get quantity. If I remember right, this dungeon contains a lot of barbaric goblins. They are much less dangerous than normal goblins because they don't fight in teams, they just fight amongst themselves like dumbasses. However they'll be as bad as actual goblins if I get them, since they won't fight each other.....They won't do that right ?'

" Nah....Creatures can fight creatures of other groups, but those goblins will count as one group, and there can't be infighting in the group. " Vodka explained, boredom clear in her voice.

'Well this is good. Anyway as I was saying it's a battle type, so it's riskier than the basic type of dungeon, the cave type. The fee is also bigger because of my own rank. The KHG is all about safety, so they don't let hunters get into dungeons that easily. If you don't at least have the same level as the dungeon, you gotta pay more...And the fee can quickly get ridiculous. Must be why the KHG has so much ressources. And no one complains because it's all about security. Best way to get money and the public's opinion is on your side. So in the end I had to pay something like three times the actual price of the fee. And I'm only a rank under the level of the dungeon. The fee gets bigger if the difference in level is greater but it's also different based on the level of the dungeon. Imagine an E-Rank attempting an SSS-Rank dungeon.....I think the fee would be enough to buy an entire damn country. Not that it's possible, I haven't even heard of SSS-Rank dungeons.' Sen explained to the very much bored Vodka who started to lightly punch Sen's leg to pass time.

"Well that's good and all.....But why are those guys entering the dungeon now when you reserved before them ?" She asked. The smile never left Sen's face as he started to explain.

'Well that is indeed normal, it's because.....Wait....They are what ?!'
