Composer Nam Seungha was greatly shocked.
The melody he had listened to on a whim was simply too good.
“A-Again once more…!”
Shaken, Nam Seungha replayed the video.
Soon, the black screen appeared, and a child’s humming began to flow out.
Mm-mm-mm! Mm-mm! Mm-mm-mmm!
It could almost be mistaken for babbling.
But the melody was incredibly good.
“Again.”
The video ended quickly, and Nam Seungha clicked play once more.
He repeated it, repeated it, and repeated it again until he finally stopped.
How many times had he listened to it?
Twenty times?
Thirty times?
Or more?
Nam Seungha, who had clicked the play button without rest, sat there blankly with a bewildered face.
“How on earth was this melody created…?”
Nam Seungha blinked.
The post had been written as if it were an existing song that the writer couldn’t remember, but Nam Seungha immediately realized.
This was not an existing song.
The reason he was so certain was simple.
Not only because he did a lot of “digging,” but because the melody itself belonged to a dimension that shouldn’t exist.
“One last time…”
Nam Seungha played the melody from a new dimension once more.
Soon, the humming of a child flowed out again.
But with his eyes gently closed, Nam Seungha felt an immense depth here.
This is spring. Spring itself…!
With his eyes closed, Nam Seungha felt as if a pink spring breeze was gently blowing around him.
Not only that, he felt the warm spring sunlight pouring down and the excitement of green sprouts budding.
“Haa…”
When the video ended, Nam Seungha opened his eyes.
Then he checked the comments on the post.
He was curious how others had felt.
Wow, what is this song?
It’s insanely good.
This is supposed to be an existing song? I’ve never heard it before.
Is it a foreign song?
This sound couldn’t come from Korea.
└OP, are you joking? It feels like you took a random melody from Billboard and had your daughter sing it.
222 I agree.
333 Same here. A daughter singing this melody? No way.
444 Don’t play pranks with your kid. You seem old enough, is this fun?
Wow, the song is nice. By any chance, did your daughter compose this?
└Lmao if the daughter composed it, that would be legendary.
└For real lol, the voice sounds like a little kid. If the daughter really composed it, she’s a composing genius.
I’m a current composer. Honestly, I was shocked after listening. This is the most beautiful melody I’ve ever heard in my life.
It’s such a sweet and comforting melody.
Yeah, it makes me imagine spring, or kids playing around.
└Everyone, try closing your eyes and listening. It really feels good. So relaxing.
└Lol I’m already listening with my eyes closed. Ah, I was stressed because no songs were coming out lately, but this cleared it all.
Isn’t Teacher Nam Seungha coming? I wish he’d listen to this lol
For real, it’s about time Teacher Nam Seungha showed up.
Ah, what would Teacher Nam Seungha say after hearing this song? I’m really curious.
As expected of the best post, comments were lined up endlessly below.
Nam Seungha let out a long breath while reading them.
The thought that this post was manipulated had long flown out of his mind.
A song like this deserved to be at the top.
No.
A song of this level absolutely had to be the number one best post on <Music Engine> for it to make sense.
“This is a melody even I can’t imagine…”
Nam Seungha, who had been tapping the piano ding-dong ding-dong before he could even walk.
Nam Seungha, who debuted in high school and had never lost the honor of being a top composer even now, well over 50.
Even he was certain.
This melody was something he, with decades of experience, could not imagine.
No, it was a heavenly melody that no one, not even him, could create.
“This won’t do.”
After sitting blankly for a long time, Nam Seungha clicked on the poster’s ID.
Then he started sending a message using the ‘DM’ function.
Hello. I am composer Nam Seungha from Daphne Entertainment’s A&R team. I was deeply impressed by your daughter’s composing skills. If it’s not too rude, would it be possible to meet in person and talk…
Nam Seungha sent a DM saying he wanted to meet the child who created the melody and her parents.
His eyes burned hotter than ever.

I ultimately decided to sign with Myth Guild.
After contacting the recruitment team leader again, I headed to Myth Guild headquarters.
I learned one thing here: Myth Guild had ranks based on skill.
At the very top was Guild Master Shin Daeho.
Below him was the Vice Guild Master.
And below that, the ranks were as follows.
Diamond Raid Team.
Gold Raid Team.
Silver Raid Team.
Bronze Raid Team.
It was divided like tiers in a game.
The criterion for division was naturally the hunters’ ‘military power.’
Anyway, as a newcomer, I was assigned to a team in the Bronze Raid Team.
“Hello. I am Seo Juwon. I am 30 years old this year, and my class is Necromancer.”
Among the over 100 Bronze Raid Teams, I was placed in the team called ‘Gaon.’
“Oh, so you’re Seo Juwon. Nice to meet you. I’m Gaon team leader Ju Namgyu.”
Team leader Ju Namgyu extended his hand to me.
Ju Namgyu, the team leader I would be working with from now on, had a huge build but a gentle, friendly impression that made him seem like a good person.
Ju Namgyu said.
“Everyone, say hello. I told you, right? This is Seo Juwon, who’s newly joining our Myth Guild.”
“Oh, the new guy. Nice to meet you, Seo Juwon.”
“Nice to meet you. Let’s get along well.”
“You’re the one who cleared the Red Gate, right? I saw you on the news. Let’s get along.”
“Welcome to Gaon team. Myth Guild life won’t be easy, but feel free to ask anything anytime.”
At Ju Namgyu’s words, the Gaon team members came over in droves, offering handshakes or greetings.
Though the dozen or so people all had different personalities, most were friendly.
That was when it happened.
“Hah, looks like one attention-seeker has joined us.”
An unpleasant voice came from afar.
Wondering what was going on, I turned my head and saw a man with yellow-dyed hair slowly approaching.
“You’re Seo Juwon?”
“Yes, and you are?”
“I heard you only got recruited because you appeared on the news?”
“Me? Who said that?”
“Who said it, who said it. Everyone in the guild knows you got in because you acted like a monkey seeking attention on the news.”
I frowned at the yellow-haired guy’s words.
What the hell is this guy?
Why is he suddenly like this on our first meeting?
The yellow-haired guy continued.
“Whatever, if you got in by luck, don’t make a fuss and just stay quiet, then leave when the time is right. Don’t act up and end up dying. Got it?”
“Ugh, can’t even answer properly. Only has a decent face, wonder if he can do anything right. Tch tch tch, has Myth Guild fallen so low?”
The yellow-haired guy clicked his tongue and stormed out of the office with a whoosh.
After he completely disappeared, Ju Namgyu spoke.
“That guy has a bit of a foul mouth, huh?”
“I was a little flustered. It’s our first meeting. Who is he?”
“Ah, he’s our vice team leader. Name’s No Youngjin.”
Vice team leader No Youngjin.
He was definitely an annoying guy.
“But he’s not a bad person deep down, so don’t worry too much. His skills aren’t bad either.”
“Understood.”
“Yeah. Anyway, since it’s your first day, let’s have a simple meal for a newcomer welcome party. Hmm, first, you can use this locker, and the guild uniform is…”
RING RING RING RING!
Just as Ju Namgyu was about to assign me a seat, the office intercom rang.
Ju Namgyu excused himself to me and went to answer it.
Then, with a serious expression after taking the call, he said to us.
“Damn it. Gate raid. The newcomer welcome party will have to be postponed. Everyone get ready. Assemble in front of headquarters in 5 minutes!”
“Yes!”
At Ju Namgyu’s words, people began moving busily.
It felt like war had broken out.
Fortunately, with the help of my teammates, I was able to put on Myth Guild’s gray uniform.
It’s finally starting.
This was the moment I was heading out for my first gate raid as a Myth Guild member.
Inside the Government Complex Gwacheon.
Between the neatly built marble buildings, a bluish gate had appeared.
Our Gaon team, having arrived by car, stood in front of the gate.
Ju Namgyu shouted in front of us.
“Alright, everyone pay attention. This gate is a ‘Killer Bee’ gate, so be especially careful!”
Ju Namgyu explained what kind of monster a Killer Bee was.
Killer Bee.
As the name suggested with ‘Bee’ at the end, it was a ‘bee.’
But as the terrifying word ‘Killer’ was attached in front, it was explained to be a considerably dangerous monster.
Because the power of the stinger on its rear was stronger than a cavalryman’s lance.
Not to mention the paralyzing poison inside the stinger.
That was when it happened.
“Ah, why are you scaring them like that? What’s so scary about Killer Bees.”
Vice team leader No Youngjin opened his mouth.
His uniform was unbuttoned at the front, and he was even holding a cigarette.
Ju Namgyu said.
“What are you talking about, Vice Team Leader.”
“Isn’t it true? Why make Killer Bees sound so scary? Frankly, they’re just slightly bigger bees.”
“Vice Team Leader, I know you’re strong. But you must not let your guard down. Even you could get done in by a Killer Bee if you’re careless.”
“Hahaha, me getting done in by a Killer Bee? Me, the vice team leader? That won’t happen. Unless it’s someone who got in through attention-seeking instead of skill.”
No Youngjin smirked while looking at me.
Huh, why is this guy like this?
Ju Namgyu said.
“Enough, everyone don’t let your guard down. Being careless inside a gate is literally suicide. Understood?”
“Yes!”
“Okay. Then let’s move out.”
Starting with Ju Namgyu, the team members began entering the blue gate one after another.
Each time a team member entered, the gate fluctuated like blue flames.
I also stepped inside.
***
When entering a gate, consciousness briefly cuts out.
Like a fuse blowing.
But consciousness quickly returns, and a new world unfolds.
It was the same now.
Oh…
I quietly admired the majestic natural scenery.
The nature had been beautiful even in the previous Goblin Gate, but this place felt different.
How should I put it.
If that was a dense forest, this felt like an untouched ‘mountain.’
Indeed, there were tall mountain ranges against the blue sky, rocks, streams, and long valleys.
“Then let’s start! Form up and move out!”
Ju Namgyu, holding a huge axe, took the lead and walked.
My teammates and I followed behind him in a line.
No Youngjin, with his arrogant gait, followed last with his hands in his pockets.
We walked for about 20 minutes.
BUZZZZZZZZ!
A sound like a drone came from the forest.
No, a roar about ten times louder than a drone.
Our Gaon team stopped at Ju Namgyu’s halt signal.
What flew toward us was.
BUZZZZZZZZZZ!
BUZZZZZZZZZZ!
BUZZZZZZZZZZ!
Bees almost the size of compact cars.
It wasn’t an exaggeration.
Five truly car-sized giant bees were flying toward us with roaring sounds.
Each with a lance-like massive stinger attached to their rear.
“Everyone, battle stations!”
Ju Namgyu shouted for battle preparation, and everyone raised their weapons or began casting.
I also started preparing.
‘Skeleton Soldier Summon’
As I threw the pre-prepared bones, skeletons were summoned.
The number of skeletons that solidly blocked my front like shields was a whopping ‘five.’
The moment I summoned them, Ju Namgyu shouted.
“Charge!”
Ju Namgyu and the team members running forward, shaking the ground.
At the same time, I ordered my skeleton soldiers to advance.
Clatter! Clatter!
Skeleton soldiers running like mad while holding bone swords.
Watching them, I looked forward to it.
How my skeletons would perform among the Myth Guild members, who were the strongest.
