Man, more happy than having a chapter in weekend is seeing how this community is growing around this novel and your translation, good work Hen, makes me feel good to know that we have this much people enjoying the same as me, BETHEL RAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
I just like how the previous chapters there were rumors about the royal familly baning the entry onto the basement floor but now hearing the rumors about bjorn they are fully promoting the adventure spirit lmao
40 person limit makes the ban mandatory so they can send 40 people from their side. I would assume they were planning to send their people from the start
i mean, something i think we are all forgetting, it was 60 people who could enter when the 3 shards are put in. And you CAN collect shards more than once. What if they collect multiple sets of shards?? what happens then? is there a true 60 person limit, OR is there a 60 person limit per entry ticket used(the 3 shards), and if nothing else, we havent see anyone try that yet, with the clans that joined Bjorn up to here having had to combine their fragments together to get in
NICE ! i was hoping for something like this finally aruru will be back exploring with the gang and i assume after the arc she will resign from her post and officially join the clan
well, I was correct about the map stuff for the most part! but i was wrong about the mimic stuff, i really thought they’d get several of the essences, at least 1, but none? Bjorn’s luck really is just ass haha.
She got the Exploration Order from the royal family and they know the administrator of ghost buster + they probably work together so the royal family does probably got all the information already.
Well, Amelia for the life. After what happened in the past, I just cannot put anyone higher than her, really. She literally been through water, ice, fire and hell with Bjorn – a one bond too special.
I have to say that I did rlly enjoy Bjorn and Misha living the Husband & Wife lifestyle but after Bjorn vanished the author kinda destroyed that road for atleast a couple hundred chapters. If Bjorn is ever gonna be interested in something serious he would probably get more than 1 woman. Erwin would legit fight someone to death if they would make love with Bjorn
I mean, for the obvious reasons of him being surrounded by like, at the very least, a couple of women ALL THE TIME, we can assume that, but honestly, what was the last time he spent so much time with only one? I am not sure but still will bet the time he spent with Amelia was, if not the longest, the one of such periods in his life. And it was one of the most influential ones, as well, since the very fact of his survival and existence, as well as tremendous boost he got, is strongly tied to the fact of these two going back in time to do what they did to bring the present into how it actually unfolded. Meaning, for me, Amelia has the biggest part in Bjorn’s life, one way or another, and he is co-dependent with her so much more than with anyone else. That to say, I am quite biased towards her, as you probably can tell.
No I totally support your statement but to be honest I am not sure if Amelie would be interested. Amelie has a lot of respect for Bjorn and follows him because he saved her sister. I do think that a romantic relationship would be a bit forced
Yeah, I think she’s pretty satisfied with their current arrangement – I can’t see her taking it any further (unless Bjorn decided to really push it – and we all know him already). Same thing with Raven.I gave a run down of his potentials a few chapters back, there’s a lot but only a few really plausible ones. Then again, if Bjorn had his way, he’d avoid it all if he could (unless he knew it was a sure thing, and wouldnt anger anyone else)
I can’t recall which chapter but somewhere near the end of Amy past arc, she kinda said she has no problem living her remaining life in the past with Bjorn tho Im not sure if that was that a strange confession or just accepting that they were trap atm
I think I’m with you. Though, I think there might be a soft harem ending with no explicit details for some reason… it’s just my vibe after 500+ chapters… The only thing conflicting with it is that he and Misha actually engaged in…… SEX.
I forget the number, but it’s after Caron uses the mask to look like Bjorn for a night. Caron tells Misha it was so Bjorn can fulfill his barbarian duty, but Bjorn tells Misha he doesn’t care and likes her more than just a colleague. Misha accepts him and they sleep together, but realizes in the morning that Bjorn is an evil spirit and out of concern for him, says they should remain colleagues. Bjorn is hurt, but agrees.
LETS GOO Raven is gonna be back until they leave the Basement Floor 1. (If Bhorn is gonna go back to the starting island again).
Okay so what do we know. The village chief can actually leave his island and visit other islands, he did so 1 000 of years ago and still couldn't find a way out of that floor even though he lives kn the island with the exit. He did probably explore every other island as well but might not be able to get the requirement for the portal stone because he is a Monster.
My guess is that Bjorn gets his Magic Res Essence is after that he is gonna head to the starting island to pick up Raven (Unknowingly). The next destination would be the rainbow Island and the other missing island might be a option as well. The story with the 2 siblings is gonna process and they find the key to leave the floor. After that they are gonna destroy the village chief completely and leave the basement for now. Basement floor number 2 would be a goal for the far away future
Building upon the pretty obvious assertion that the super giant is the boss for the portal to head down to B2, what if the Chief has actually been designated as the boss that needs defeated in order to exit B1, hence why he’s in the form of a monster and isn’t able to touch wood that could let him leave his boss room of sorts (the dragon was maybe some workaround that will be explained later)
I Honestly don't think the Boss is strong enough to be considered a Boss. The giant giant is probably Tier 1 and to clear the library you need to kill a Tier 1 as well. BJORN was able to kind of handle the village chief even without his new Shield. my guess would be that the chief is just an irregular who shouldn't rlly exist there and lives on the TREE island to escape if someone comes with the key
Handle the Village Chief? Well, that is quite a loud statement for having 38 people fleeing from a single Village Chief, all the while that guy did not have that much of a desire to pursue, or at least, it seemed so from his attitude. And we ain’t know almost half his essences too. This guy has a high probability of being the boss, otherwise I cannot piece together his mystical words about some things that Bjorn and his team were one step away from uncovering. Now looking back, it almost feels like the guy knows that portal on his island is for transporting people back to the city and is not just sure, he freaking knows Bjorn will come back, so he did not invest too much on catching the prey that will come back on its own. Also, we ain’t know how strong the Giant Island’s boss is so that leaves quite a room as well.
See but I think for some reason we didn’t really see the chiefs full power, he flat out one shots a lvl 2 hipro(I forget how to spell this) but then seems to be holding back when they try to escape, also Bjorn is built so ideally for drawn out fights that it’s hard for him or anyone he is with to get blitzed down, but that doesn’t mean the Chief didn’t have any more tricks up his sleeve just that he was really caught off guard by them escaping.Additionally I think Bjorn said before that he wouldn’t go down without a fight against Baek Ho at this point who is considered the strongest explorer on the surface
I wouldn’t consider their fight a real one. Bjorn was stalling for time, and the chief was trying to stop them from breaking open the door, rather than kill them. I think a real between them fight would fare less favorably to our friends. Bjorn is a boss tanker, but has little damage.
Yes, thought as much. Games usually do not let mobs leave their designated areas, while the dragon might have been one of his essences for summoning or whatever – some sort of a cheat code, despite having the help of which for centuries and thousands of years he could not crack the way to get out. Why? Probably because he simply is not meant to get out. You do not just become the boss or a mere mob to escape your role – you must play till the very end, after all.
I don’t think B2 is for the far future, actually. If Bjorn can get strong enough, we might actually get to witness the gang going down that ladder, and I think this part of the dungeon might actually open up a load of secrets about this world.
I would definitely enjoy this but my problem with this would be that the Basement 1 ark is kinda going on for long now and stretching it out even further might ruin the story. The 1 month in the city after the exploration is part of the story. There is a possibility that they would go back after arround 2-5 months tho
Yeah, I also think we are in for another couple of months, at most. On some premise, perhaps after meeting with Raven, Bjorn might consider checking up on the things happening in the city and, who knows, maybe even seeking out the ways to the outer world? Something really tells me this might be one of the next arcs with all the buildup until this point.
ngl im the opposite im loving this long arc , its very different from all the others and it fees also right cause we know that high level explores stay in the labyrinth for a long time in 8th plus levels . i bet future arcs will be like this too . i do get your point tho that the city parts are important but still i personally prefer new interesting scenarios instead of the same sequence of events over and over
Yeah, maybe even the witch is actually in one such basement, since these floors show how the labyrinth works. Makes more sense if she is in one of the basements instead of the last floor
Absolutely! Looking back to the episode when Bjorn was transferred to Witch’s Hut in his vision, all the locations must exist somewhere and, who knows, maybe Labyrinth is the terminal point between the worlds? Tying this with the hypothesis of the lost sibling from the book in the last chapter, I think the Great Sage (or Mage or whatever), who presumably created this Labyrinth did this for a reason.
personally, i dont think we’re gonna see B2 in this arc, Bjorn already hasnt figured out how to open the portal back, and theres a high chance that B2 would be a similar restricted space given that B1 is, and Bjorn has already been trapped in the Labyrinth this whole time, and needs to get out, he has responsibilities in the city he must contend with, and its dangerous to be gone too long when time flows normally. I think that Bjorn will return to Raphdonia, prepare for a much longer trip, with the proper supplies, change out essences, cause he even said himself, that for Ainar, she needs several essences erased for new ones, Bjorn himself wants the new Giant essence, so may need to erase the old one we still dont know if those stack or not, they will only get stronger if they leave and come back, so why go now when its more risky, when they can just return stronger and have an easier timer
Keep in mind, Raven will be part of the Royal army, so no guarantee she will be able to side with Bjorn and co. It could be possible that they end up on opposite sides. They'll likely come with 60ppl, outnumbering our friends. I’m keeping my eyes out for a possible fight
There is no reason to fight. They are on the same side for now and Bjorn is even a Nobel. They won't probably listen to him but if they ever meet they might start an alliance because Bjorn is down there way longer then they are + Bjorn his Team is rlly strong as well
i think youre right, theres no reason to fight on the surface, BUT there was the Ice Rock stuff, and so its not too much of a reach to potentially think theres secret orders to take Bjorn out while he’s down here. Accidents happen in the Labyrinth, this is a new region, what better way to secretly take him out than with assassins in the expedition force to the basement, make it seem like its a friendly thing, when its a trick, even if most of the royal force members truly dont want to hurt Bjorn, there being someone who does would track
I think there might be. The bread and butter of explorers is the loot – the essences, stones, and equipment. Every interaction with the royal family, we’ve seen them be about taking all the stuff for themselves (that’s why they’ve been able to amass so much treasure and give them as rewards to Bjorn and team). If there’s a fight (or at least tension) it may be about who gets to keep the loot.The point about Bjorn being a noble works against him, because he’ll be expected to fall in line. And we all know our boy is not a pushover (except to women). Lol
this could end up another Ice Rock situation ngl, with the Army going in with orders to take Bjorn out secretly, take the single numbers items he was said to have gotten, and cover it up. Maybe we’ll get to see Raven and the military split? Maybe Bjorn will somehow get the soldiers on his side against the commander with his reputation, if theyre sending more regular troops, they should know what hes done and be on his side in their minds. So if there is anything going on, it could be a secret mission for the higher ups or select members of this Royal Force
yeah ngl if i were the prime minister i would be shitting my pants after getting wind that the most famous explorer which is also a evil being get such a op item like that shield and he knows that he was the cause for that damn expedition . i would be trying to kill him even if it would go against the op korean wishes
yeah!!! that was me! tbh, i wonder if this stuff was supposed to be the reward for Library island also haha. Hamsiki says that the book would have gone to someone worthy, and theres loot that would make sense to be reward in that hidden space. Maybe if Bjorn had beaten the tower, the space would just open and Hamsiki would be revealed naturally, with the loot being there for the taking. Bjorn clearly has fulfilled some conditions that allowed him to speak to Hamsiki as no one else even can, so there is probably a combination of things needed to be done to allow for normal access. But we watched Bjorn basically trick and force his way in instead. Even hamsiki here said that he was only outside cause they caught him unaware. So if Hamsiki had just been in his home when they arrived instead, Bjorn would have never gotten the chance to get in early. And the map, the pen, and the mimic books all seem insanely powerful, and even Hamsiki mentions level 1 monsters at the top of the tower, so if it was a reward, its clearly meant for late stage explorers, and not those at Bjorn’s level, cause hes still not ready for level 1 monsters, in his own words. Basically, Bjorn has sequence skipped, in game terms, and has gotten the end stage loot through a backdoor method before technically possible.

Things are going way too smoothly. In getting worried that someone will die if they keep this up
I think Bjorn will go to the first island again.
Hell yea, raven is on her way… but bjørn is not at the starting island, she should get the info about the rainy season from the community, right?
yayy finally Raven will join the team.
There’s only so little of this great novel we can go by everyday. …sigh…
Raven and Amelia, now that’s a duo I want to see interact. Mommy energy clash overload.

Whoever said last chapter that they wished Raven was there is going to be sooo happy reading this one
