"Assignment? What assignment?" I had wanted to ask this earlier, but he had changed the topic. But now that he went back to it, naturally I wanted clarification on what he was talking about. However, Mu Gong didn't say anything as he turned back to the person that just walked into the room. Seeing Mu Gong looking at him, that person gave a nod before walking towards me. As they came over, I couldn't help raising my guard since I had no idea what they were planning to do. Only it seemed like I was being too cautious. All that happened in the end was that they took out an envelope and handed it over to me. I looked at him with a confused look, but that person didn't seem interested in saying anything as he held the envelope in front of me. I also looked at the envelope, but it didn't seem like there was anything that was off about this envelope. It seemed like a normal large envelope no matter how one looked at it. This was the kind of envelope that was usually used to hold some kind of special order or some kind of special certificate. It was much bigger than an envelope that was needed to hold a normal letter. So I couldn't help feeling curious about what was inside. When I took it and opened up the envelope, I couldn't help being taken aback by what I was reading. After all, this was one of the last things that I had expected to see from this envelope. After reading it for a bit, I looked at Mu Gong and asked, "Is this real?" He just looked at me with a smile as he said, "Of course it's real. You're expected next week." I couldn't help deeply knitting my brows when I heard this. After all, the thing that Mu Gong had just given me was a recruitment order and it wasn't just any normal recruitment order. It was one that was only given to elite summoners that met a certain level of power. After all, it was for a place where if one didn't have enough power, they would die at any moment. This was an enrollment form for the Abyss Guards. As for what the Abyss Guards were, they were a special group that transcended normal borders and didn't belong to any country. They were a group that wasn't even controlled by the World Summoner Association. That was because the task that was given to them was one that concerned the very survival of the human race. That task was to guard the Abyss. The Abyss was a dungeon, but it wasn't any normal dungeon. It was a dungeon that was inside of another dimensional space, one that was isolated from the rest of the world. But inside of that space, there were many Abyss Demons. The Abyss was the only dungeon of its kind since there was no other dungeon that was even close to the size of the Abyss. At the same time, there was no other dungeon that had the same function as the Abyss. Sёarch* The NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. With how big it was, it was only natural that summoners had been sent inside to explore the Abyss. From their findings and the Abyss Demons that were captured, they were able to find out that this Abyss was actually a path for the Abyss Demons to invade their world. That was why the Abyss was a unique dungeon. There was no other dungeon where the monsters inside would try to invade this world. Since these Abyss Demons wanted to invade this world, it was only natural that the humans would send people to stop them. And that was how the Abyss Guards were formed. Though nowadays, the Abyss had been stabilized because of the efforts of those before us and those that joined the Abyss Guards were those that were seeking fame. The contribution that they obtained from the Abyss Guards could be exchanged for many things. And if they reached a certain rank in the Abyss Guards, this would come with fame in the outside world. So that was why the Abyss was a place that people wanted to go to. But it wasn't a place that I wanted to go to. As if he could read my mind, "It's time for you to go and get some experience. This is a place where you'll be able to develop your fame and experience that darker side of the world." I was surprised to hear this. After all, I knew exactly what he was talking about. I was just surprised that he would actually admit to something like this. Since it was a battlefield, it was recognized that people died there all the time. One automatically signed a waiver when they joined the Abyss Guards, so there was no one that would investigate deaths in the Abyss. That was why it was also a place where people killed each other. It was a fact that was known, but never spoken about. It was one of those facts that everyone considered an open secret. So for Mu Gong to say this out loud… But it was a lie to say that I wasn't tempted because of this. It wasn't because I wanted to learn about the darker side of humans like he mentioned. Both Iris and Wang Rong could attest that I didn't actually need that since they were both looking at me with strange looks after Mu Gong said this. The reason that I was tempted was actually because this was a place where I was able to kill people at will. It wasn't because I was a serial killer that needed to kill people, it was because I wanted more Skill Orbs. If I were to kill someone, I would naturally only kill those that deserved to die. If they didn't offend me, I had no reason to provoke anyone. So after thinking about it, I nodded in agreement to what Mu Gong said.
