The Handsomer You Are, the Stronger You Become

‘Sigh… can’t even rest on the weekend. Just cleaning up other people’s messes…’

On the highway to Wonju, Gwak Dowon, Vice Guild Leader of the Muyoung Guild, let out a quiet sigh inside a large van.

Since his loss in the semifinals of the Supreme Swordsmanship Tournament, he hadn’t had time to recover from the shock before being thrust back into guild duties.

It was the Guild Leader’s orders.@@novelbin@@

If it were up to him, he’d retreat to some quiet place for some much-needed rest, but his title as Vice Guild Leader of a major guild wouldn’t allow it.

Meetings, managing the guild, and overseeing raids—there was no time to breathe.

Considering his achievement in reaching the tournament’s semifinals, a break would have been reasonable. Instead, the Guild Leader, claiming his injuries were minor, threw him back into work as soon as the tournament ended.

On the surface, there was applause and praise for his accomplishment, but the lack of a tangible reward suggested disappointment.

As Vice Guild Leader, Gwak Dowon could’ve focused solely on administration, but the Guild Leader had him back in the field. And now, it had reached its peak with the SS-rank dungeon incident in Wonju.

The unprecedented situation involved an S-rank dungeon suddenly evolving into an SS-rank dungeon, with the dungeon break timer drastically shortened. The Hunter Bureau had urgently called for assistance from major guilds.

In response, each guild dispatched personnel capable of handling SS-rank dungeons.

“Vice Guild Leader Gwak, you’ll personally lead a team to the scene.”

The Guild Leader’s direct order left no room for refusal. While there were other team leaders with SS-rank dungeon experience, they were all tied up with packed schedules. Given the gravity of the situation, Gwak was sent in their stead.

1. Arang Guild conducted an S-rank dungeon raid.
2. Guild members waiting outside reported that an exit portal appeared, but no one came out.
3. The dungeon rank suddenly increased to SS, and the break timer was shortened.
4. The change in entry status from 0/10 to 10/10 suggests no survivors.
