nThe Summoner page, in Kailan’s official community, went wild again.

nIt was because of Ian.

nCho0111- I’m not the only one who got the system message about ancient monsters, right?

nDodo9099- If you are talking about the announcement on new monsters, you are right. It was a global

nsystem message.

n1hj77770- There had been no announcement in advance and suddenly new monsters were added?

nI’m a beginner, so I don’t know much. Has this ever happened before?

nKokomunee- Well, I don’t really know if this happened before…

nCreativeCaptain- Hey, that’s not important now. Has anyone found the new monsters? Ancient

nmonsters must be so cool.

nDodo9099- I haven’t seen any screenshots.

n1hj7777- Go to the Screenshots page. In the expedition to the North, the Titan Guild uploaded a

nscreenshot five minutes ago. It’s a pic of Halican, one of the ancient monsters.

nKokomunee- Yes. It’s a giant, white tiger and it is almost Lv.150. The Titan Guild seems to have given

nup on it.

nDodo9099- Oh, really? I must go to see it now!

nIan, who was reading these comments while eating a light lunch, smiled.

n“Ke! Lv.150? Hali might be even greater than I think!”

nHalican had also been powerful when it was a ghost but, now, it appeared on the Kolonar Continent

nwith 50 levels higher. Ian wondered what it was like.

nHe straight went to the Screenshots page.

nThen, he exclaimed, “Wow!”

nHalican seemed to have appeared as a boss monster in the North Continent.

n‘It’s really Lv.150!’

nIan felt even more proud to see the cool Halican.

nIf it had not been for the quest, how could Ian have a Lv.150 Hero rank monster, that appeared on a

nfield, as his pet?

nAlthough of course, it was a weak Lv.1 baby Halican.

n‘I can’t wait to raise it soon.’

nIan finished eating and hurried to get into his capsule.

nHe wanted to raise Hali and meet Iriel who had the skill book that would save him.

n…

nIan got ready to fight and stood in front of Griffer’s door of dimensions.

n‘I don’t know what kind of monsters would be on the other side.’

nWishing for another new field or new dungeon, he stepped forward.

nWiiiing-

nHis vision went dark and the world went upside down.

nIt always happened when using Griffer’s door of dimensions, however, Ian could never get used to it.

n‘I must stay sharp.’

nIan remembered the last time he went through a door of dimensions. A monster attacked him before

nthe dizziness went away and he received a huge damage.

nIan got tense.

nHowever…

n“Huh?”

nIan looked around and blinked.

nThe landscape he saw was so peaceful that he was almost ashamed for being so tense.

n‘What? It’s like I’m in Disneyland!’

nPink sunset, cute clouds and cuddly animals playing together.

nThe place, to Ian, was like a fairytale land.

n‘How do I find Iriel here?’

nBut then, Ian suddenly saw some messages.

nIan had been surprised at the strange place, but now he was even more surprised.

n“This place is called Forest of Love?”

nHe opened the place’s window. The name ‘Forest of Love’ was written on top.

n‘And wedding rings… what are these?’

nIan opened his inventory, he then found a pair of rings in there.

nHe opened the information of one of the rings.

nForest Wedding Ring (Female)

nCategory: Ring

nRank: Hero (Improvement possible)

nUsage Limit: Only for female users

nDurability: 175

/175

nOptions: Attraction 30

nOptions: All battle abilities 20% (sealed)

nOptions: All craftsman abilities 30% (sealed)

nOptions: All skills’ cooldown time -1 second (sealed) – (It is not applied to skills that have a cooldown

ntime shorter than 1 second.)

nIt cannot be given or sold to other users. It is not dropped when the character dies.

n(Can be given only once.)

nRing left by Elmof, the owner of the Forest of Love, the place that appears in the myths of ancient

nelves.

nThe seal is disabled only when a man and a woman wear the pair of rings together.

nIf one of them discards the ring, the other ring also loses its power and becomes an ordinary ring.

nOnce that happens, it cannot get its powers back.

n…

nIan’s mouth was wide open when he finished checking the great options of the ring.

n‘Improvement possible? I’ve never seen an item with that option!’

nAdditionally, the 1 second cooldown time decrease option was very unique.

nThe cooldown time decrease option was always in a percentage value, so it was the first time Ian saw

nan item with a fixed value with cooldown time decrease.

n‘It could be used efficiently on skills like Lightning Spheres that have a short cooldown time.’

nIan checked the other ring.

nIt had the same exact options.

nOnly its usage limit was different as it could only be used by male users.

n‘What is this? Although not as good as the Feather Accessory, its options are still crazy.’

nIan was still wearing the ring he had gotten in the Rookies’ League at Lv.50, so he really wanted the

nnew options of the ring.

nBut soon, he felt sad.

nIt was the condition required to disable the seals.

n‘Who on earth am I supposed to give the other ring? Ha…’

nThe tragedy of a man who had never dated anyone!

nIan’s two fists trembled.

n‘Even the game is discriminating against a guy who is not in a relationship…’

nWithout disabling the seals, the only option the ring had was Attraction 30.

nAttraction was a rare stat that could not be gained in the usual ways.

nWith high Attraction, it got easier to befriend NPCs and gain more profit when trading goods, so quite

na lot of users preferred to have more Attraction options.

nAttraction was a stat that could clearly help a lot when playing Kailan.

nNevertheless, Ian couldn’t afford to wear that ring just for the Attraction 30 without any other options

nthat would help him in battles.

n‘Ha… its stats are so great. I must quickly get rid of the seals and use it…’

nIan started to move again.

nHe could think about the rings later. Right now, he had to find Iriel.

n‘I guess it’s that way.’

nLuckily, there was only one path in front of Ian.

nHe followed it and walked toward the forest.

nChirp- Chirp-

nChirpy liked the fairy tale forest with the clean air. It fluttered its wings and flew around.

nThe evolution hadn’t changed its character.

n“Hmm…”

nOn the other hand, Ian couldn’t afford to enjoy the scenery.

n‘I should have asked Griffer what Iriel looks like. She must be a woman, but a Summoner of ancient

ntimes should look like an old man with a white beard…’

nIan was walking while thinking like this.

nThen, something big and white suddenly came out in front of him.

n‘Monster?!’ Ian quickly got ready to fight.

nHowever, the next moment, he checked the monsters and broke out in a cold sweat.

n“Hup!”

nThe monsters were a pair of huge, beautiful pure white horses.

nThey had a long horn in their forehead.

nIan knew what they were.

n‘U-unicorns?!’

nThey were none other than Hero rank Unicorns.

nThey were Lv.170!

n‘Uh… what should I do?’

nIan slowly backed off.

nEven Ian couldn’t mess up with two Lv.170 monsters and get away with it.

nHowever, the Unicorns didn’t seem to think of attacking Ian.

nNeigh-!

nThe Unicorns looked at Ian with pity, shook its heads and disappeared into the forest!

n‘What? What are they doing?’

nIan didn’t know what was going on. He was confused.

nHe looked at Bukbuk that had been following him at his side.

n“Bukbuk.”

nBuk-?

n“Why did they just go? Do I have something on my face?”

nBukbuk thought about it.

nIt was the smart one in Ian’s pack. It had to show something.

nBukbuk-

nBut even Bukbuk, eventually, shook its head.

nEven Bukbuk, the smart turtle, couldn’t understand the Unicorns’ behavior.

nIan thought about what to do. The first monsters he met were much stronger than he had anticipated.

nHowever, he couldn’t give up on the Hatching Pets’ Eggs skill book.

n‘I just met monsters with an insanely high level… but they didn’t want to attack me. I should go in

ndeeper.’ Ian continued to walk bravely.

nHe thought the quest had been given to him because he could do it.

nThe quest’s difficulty level was A, so there was no way he would have to fight Lv.170 monsters.

nAfter walking for about five minutes…

nThis time, a pair of deer came out between the trees on Ian’s right.

nHe was momentarily tense, then he looked at their level.

n‘What? They are just real deer! Their level is not even 10! How can Lv.170 monsters and Lv.10

nmonsters appear in the same place?’

nIan couldn’t understand the Forest of Love.

nWhat was more confusing was that the deer acted exactly the same as the Unicorns.

nThis time, Ian was feeling mocked, ‘You animals!’

nAngered, Ian thought about throwing a few Spheres of Magic Power to kill them, but he was too afraid

nof the consequence.

nIf the Unicorns showed up to avenge the deer, he would be dead.

n‘Hu! I just need to find Iriel quickly.’

nThe path Ian walked through was quite long.

nHe walked fast, but the path twisted and turned, therefore, he had to walk for almost 30 minutes.

nIan met a lot of monsters on his way and he soon found out what they had in common.

n‘Shit! These monsters are all in pairs!’

n
