"I see," said Raff.
"You'd better not tell anyone about this incident. Tell your other friends not to tell anyone about the goblin warrior problem. Let the adventurer's guild take care of it," said the guild staff.
"Eh? yes," Raff replied.
"Then I'll take my leave," said Raff.
"Yes," replied the guild staff.
Raff left the guild building. His goal now is to find a quiet place to use his world connector skill.

"Eh?" muttered Raff in surprise. He didn't think that this time the system gave him an easy quest.
The sun had moved further to the western horizon. The sky began to turn red because of the bias of the sun's rays that were about to set. Raff arrived at the farm owned by the residents outside the Norn City fort. The atmosphere there was already quiet. All the residents had returned from their gardens this afternoon.
"World connector!" said Raff using his skill.
A black dimensional portal was created in front of Raff. Without hesitation, Raff immediately entered the dimensional portal. He came out in the same place as when he entered the other world. The atmosphere there was also still in the afternoon. But there was no one else near the bridge.
"Even though I was ready to use my illusion-making skills. But no one saw my arrival to the real world," Raff muttered while looking at the surroundings.

[Quest #5: Eating bread in the real world]
"Again, a fairly easy quest. But I need money to do it," Raff thought after a new quest appeared from the system.
"Now I just need to sell these gold and silver coins to get money," Raff said as he walked away towards the highway.
"Vote for Evan George Nichol to be the next mayor! Louge City is sure to go from strength to strength! Residents will be prosperous, prosperous and get an increase in income!" shouted a man using a loudspeaker from inside a moving car. The car was deliberately traveling slowly so that all the residents who passed by would hear it.
"Tch! Father and son are the same! After his father finished his term as mayor, now his son is running for office!" grumbled Raff.
"I heard that his son has finished his studies at the number one university in the country," said a passerby.
"Yes. He's also handsome. He'd make a good mayor," said another passerby.
"They're all just judging his appearance. Whereas during his time as mayor, his father just made Louge City worse. Unemployment is increasing, the promises made in the past have not even been fulfilled. Their work has only made empty imagery so far," grumbled Raff.
Not only campaigning through cars. The face of Mayor Nichol's son also adorns several billboards in Louge City. It is only natural considering the new mayoral election will take place six months from now. The mayoral candidates are already competing to attract public attention.
"This country is too damaged. Maybe it can't be saved anymore," said Raff while staring at a billboard containing Evan George Nichol's campaign.
Night finally falls as the sun sets completely behind the tall buildings. Raff's steps stopped when he arrived near a jewelry store that was still open. The atmosphere inside the jewelry store looks quite quiet tonight, there are only a few customers inside.
"It doesn't seem to be caught on CCTV here," Raff muttered while looking at the CCTV in several places.
"Illusion maker!" said Raff using his skills.
Raff walked into the jewelry store. Everyone in the store immediately noticed Raff. They saw Raff with a different face and appearance. They even saw Raff getting out of a luxury car. The store employees immediately greeted him with respect.
"Can I help you, sir?" asked the clerk.
"I'd like to sell some of my valuables," Raff replied.
"Please come over here," said the clerk, directing Raff to the purchasing department.
"I want to sell these four gold coins and forty silver coins," said Raff as he took out the coins he had gotten from the other world.
"I think this is the first time I've seen a coin pattern like this," said the clerk as he checked the authenticity of Raff's coins.
"This is a very rare coin. In fact, I'm sure not many people in the world know about it," Raff replied. He couldn't possibly make them suspicious by saying no one in the world knew about the coin.
"This is also the first time I've seen a gold and silver coin pattern like this," said the shop assistant.
"They are all genuine. They weigh 1 ounce each. Do you have any certificates or the like for these coins?" the clerk asked.
"The coin has no papers and the like. I didn't want to sell them at first. But I needed the money urgently for now," Raff explained.
"That's too bad. That would lower the value of these coins," the clerk replied with a smile. Raff understood that it was just an excuse for the shop to buy them cheaper than the usual price.
"No problem. Although the value of this coin has decreased, it is impossible to be the same price as the usual gold and silver coins. The problem is that this coin pattern is very rare in the world," Raff replied.
"Hehe, that's right. Maybe we only dare to pay 1800 dollars for this gold coin and 24 dollars for the silver coin," said the shop employee with a smile.
"Alright. I don't mind, but I want the payment in cash," said Raff.
"That's fine. Then ID please," said the clerk with a happy face.
"Hehe, I lost my wallet. My identity card, cell phone and everything else is also lost. That's why I want to pay in cash. No problem, right?" replied Raff.
"Oh. I understand. No problem sir, maybe you can fill in your own identity here," said the shop employee while handing over the proof of purchase. Raff wrote down a pseudonym and other pseudonym data.
"Thank you," replied the clerk.
The transaction is complete. Raff now has 8160 dollars. For the first time in his life he has thousands of dollars. So far the most was only 200 dollars. Tonight felt like the most wonderful night in the world for Raff.
"Now I just need to buy some bread. After that I'll look for that pesky woman," Raff thought with a happy grin. The start of his revenge in the real world was about to begin.

Chapter 302: The Final War
The convergence point Aniel chose sat on a stretch of dead salt flat in the real world, a place where an ancient lakebed had dried into cracked white plates that stretched toward every horizon without a single tree or hill to break the line of sight, and Raff understood why the moment he stood on it. Nothing here could burn that hadn't already burned a thousand years ago. Nothing here could collapse onto soldiers who needed room to fight something that answered to no single element or tactic. He had asked Chloe, during her fifth visit, whether a battlefield spanning two worlds at once could even be held in one place, and she had told him that the seal's remaining strength, thin as it now was, could be bent toward exactly this kind of convergence, provided he understood that bending it further would hasten its collapse regardless of how the fight ended.He gave the order anyway. Seven names, seven targets, and no way to strike at all of them gradually without giving the others time to
Chapter 301: The Seven Names
Chloe's borrowed shape held for nearly six hours the second time she returned, long enough that Raff had her sit with Aniel while he sent for parchment and ink, because whatever came next needed to be written down rather than trusted to memory alone, hers or his. Aniel took the account the way she took every report now, without interrupting, though her pen slowed more than once as Chloe described the shape of a curse passed from a dying demon into an unborn child, and slowed again when she reached the part about ten sacred systems scattered across a world that had never known to look for them.It was the new skill from the hundredth floor that gave them their first real thread to pull. Raff tested Seal Sight the same evening Chloe's borrowed body faded again, standing alone in the inn's back courtyard and reaching for whatever sense the skill had opened in him, and found that it responded not to sight in any ordinary way but to a kind of pressure behind his eyes, a pull toward anythin
Chapter 300: The Truth of the Seal
Chloe returned to him four days later, appearing in the same inn room just past dawn while Raff was still lacing his boots, and this time she did not hesitate at the window the way she had before. She sat across from him on the narrow bench, her borrowed body steadier than it had been the first morning, though the tremor in her hands never fully went away, a faint shiver she kept trying to hide by folding her fingers into her sleeves.She told him that she had spent the days between her visits gathering enough of herself back together to explain what she had never been allowed to say before, and that the seal on the hundredth floor breaking had loosened more than just her voice. It had loosened the restrictions that kept her from speaking about her own binding at all.She began with the deal itself, the one Raff had made all those years ago beside a riverbank in the rain, back when he had been nothing more than a beaten, furious young man willing to trade anything for a way out of his
Chapter 299: The Girl Made of Light
Raff woke to the smell of dust and cold stone still clinging to his skin, though the ceiling above him was not black glass but the familiar wooden beams of the inn room they had taken in Norn City after climbing out of the dungeon. His body ached in a way that no amount of sleep seemed to touch, a deep soreness settled into his bones that Elena's healing magic had only dulled rather than erased. He lay still for a moment, listening to the quiet murmur of the others somewhere beyond the door, before he became aware that he was not alone in the room.A girl stood beside his bed.His first thought was that he was still dreaming, that his mind had simply carried the shape of her voice into something his eyes could finally see, the way it always did in the strange, floating spaces where they sometimes met. But the light coming through the shutters fell across her the same way it fell across the washbasin and the chair by the door, catching dust motes that drifted between them, and dust mot
Chapter 298: The Guardian Beneath the Seal
The corridors past the ninetieth floor narrowed again, as if the fortress had decided that whatever waited below deserved less room to breathe. Raff kept the fireball low and close, watching it flicker against black glass floors that grew smoother the deeper they went, until Nekota finally admitted that the ground felt less like stone underfoot and more like something that had been poured once, long ago, and never allowed to properly set.Rhia counted the floors under her breath as they descended, a habit she'd picked up somewhere around the sixty-fifth level and never dropped. Ninety-four. Ninety-six. Ninety-eight. No guardians rose to meet them. No carvings lined the walls. The silence had a different texture down here, thick enough that Frisca kept glancing over her shoulder even though nothing followed.The ninety-ninth floor ended in a staircase carved from the same black glass as the floor, spiraling downward into a light that came from nowhere Raff could identify, pale and blue
Chapter 297: The Ninetieth Floor
The violet crystal light thinned as they descended, replaced somewhere past the seventy-fourth floor by a darkness so complete that even Naviel's earth-sense struggled to read the shape of the walls around them. Raff kept a small fireball burning above his palm for most of that stretch, though the flame guttered strangely whenever it passed close to the stone, as if something in the rock itself resented the intrusion of ordinary light.The guardians thinned out as well. Where the sixtieth floor had thrown towering constructs of fused stone and blackened metal at them without pause, the corridors below the seventy-fifth floor sat empty for hours at a stretch, disturbed only by the echo of their own footsteps and the occasional groan of settling rock somewhere far above. Frisca found the silence worse than the fighting had been. She said, more than once, that a dungeon this deep should not feel abandoned, that something built with this much care did not simply run out of things to defen
