Max Level After 5000 Years
Researcher, Han Do Hwa.

"I'm sorry for slapping you!"

The woman in the researcher's clothes bowed to apologize to Ilya politely, she realized her mistake to the person who had saved her earlier.

Ilya laughed awkwardly, in fact he was also guilty there. He shouldn't have proposed to someone all of a sudden, let alone they just met a few minutes ago.

"It's okay, I was wrong anyway. I'm sorry."

In the end, they apologized to each other. The atmosphere became awkward after the apology was over, Ilya did not know what to say and the woman felt the same way.

"Oh. My name is Han Do Hwa, I am a junior researcher. Thank you for saving me,"

He introduced himself well. Han Do Hwa, the black curly haired woman smiled at Ilya.

"I'm Ilya Sigma, yes, I don't really know why I'm here. All I remember is a name and some little information, I might forget a memory now"

Called Ilya, he suddenly mentioned why he was there. Ilya could not tell Do Hwa the real reason, which is why she pretended to lose her memory so that Do Hwa did not suspect her.

Do Hwa looked at Ilya with a look of sympathy, Ilya guessed it, she was the type of woman who was easily carried away.

"Is that? I thought maybe you were one of the people who disappeared the first time the Dungeon appeared."

Ilya seemed interested in the information Do Hwa said, therefore she asked again, trying to make Do Hwa give her another information.

"Dungeons? What'sthat?"

He said, with an innocent look as if he did not know the meaning of what he said. Do Hwa explained briefly about the Dungeon, Ilya nodded in understanding. So far the definition of Dungeon that Ilya knows is the same as Do Hwa said earlier.

'I thought this was earth, but it turns out I went out to another dungeon'

Ilya was lucky to meet Do Hwa, from the woman he was able to get some new information that he did not know.

Do Hwa stood up, trying to hold his wounded body but his legs were unable to do so.

Ilya swiftly helped Do Hwa, the woman thanked him again.

"Where are you going?" Ilya asked briefly. They should have gone back to earth by now, but apparently Do Hwa still had other business.

"Finding my senior's body. They must be around here, I have to take them out and bury them properly"

Do Hwa seemed to be trying to walk even though she was staggering. Ilya let her walk by herself, she was unwilling to help someone she did not want to help because that was Ilya just following her from behind.

They walked quite far. There were no monsters there, perhaps the monsters felt the aura of Ilya power suppressing them so the monsters were reluctant to show themselves.

Do Hwa stopped when she saw the body of someone she knew. His face may not be clear, but Do Hwa knows from the clothes they wear.

The seniors are found dead, they are attacked by monsters while helping Do Hwa to escape.

"I shouldn't have left you all behind."

Do Hwa said softly. He squatted on the ground, touched the hands of one of his cold seniors and shed his tears there.

Ilya said nothing. He watched the surroundings, read what happened to the Do Hwa seniors and found a foreign object behind the tree. He walked over, looking at that thing that was apparently a small book.

There were writings on it, though it had been stained with blood but could still be read. Ilya thought it would help Do Hwa, so he gave the book to the lady who was still crying in front of the bodies of her seniors.

"Here, I found it there."

Do Hwa looked up, looking at Ilya with her puffy eyes. She did not feel ashamed despite being seen by Ilya, after all she was sad at the moment.

Do Hwa received the book. He put it in a sub-space bag that he got from one of his seniors as a gift, Do Hwa will read that later because currently securing the body to his seniors is more important than just a diary.

"Can you help me get them out?"

Do Hwa's voice sounded hoarse. He was already exhausted, unable to bring them all out of there. There should have been another Hunter helping Do Hwa, but the Hunter had somehow escaped where so he could only ask Ilya for help who was there.

Ilya did not mind helping Do Hwa once again. After all he did not know where the Dungeon exit was, hence he still needed Do Hwa and helping her now could make him indebted.

"I'll take them, you just lead the way."

Do Hwa nodded without hesitation. Seeing Ilya's fighting ability the first time they met earlier made him think Ilya was a strong person, so bringing along three of his seniors he could do himself.

Ilya carried the three people in her body. They had wounds in different areas, the similarity of the three of them was no longer having lives. It felt strange when Ilya was carrying someone's body, but she swallowed the feeling and walked in Do Hwa's somewhat shabby footsteps.

Do Hwa was no longer strong, she began to force herself to keep going so that they could get in front of the dungeon. There will be a lot of help out there because the Dungeon they enter is Rank D, then the entry of Do Hwa and his seniors has been known by the media.

Do Hwa worries about many things, but all she wants to do now is rest and bury the seniors she respects.

"You okay?"

Ilya initiative asked. Actually just a pleasantries to melt the atmosphere, it feels uncomfortable to be trapped in silence in a forest full of monsters.

Do Hwa shook her head, a thin smile imprinted on her face— making a fine impression on the worried-looking Ilya.

"It's okay, thanks for asking."

The woman walked again, but this time her steps were slower until Ilya who walked behind her became aligned with her.

Do Hwa looked at Ilya from the side with the edge of her eyes, she was amazed to see Ilya's familiar eyes.

It seemed that he had seen someone who had similar eyes to the master, yet he had forgotten who it was.

"You're good. Looks similar to someone I know."

Do Hwa is short. Ilya only replied to her with a glance, she remembered that Hazel's eye color was rare. In her family only Ilya and her younger sister have Hazel eyes, so maybe Do Hwa recognized her sister there.

"really? I remember my eyes are the same as my little sister's, maybe you know her—"

"We've arrived"

Do Hwa cut off Ilya's speech. The man stared ahead, the unfamiliar scenery he had just seen—a large blue gate, a gate to the earth where it came from.

"You said when did the Dungeon show up?" Ilya asked briefly.

"Five years ago, there were a few people missing as well. Maybe you're one of them, I'll help you find your identity later, don't worry"

Do Hwa offers help to Ilya. The guy just accepts, he also lacks information if he has to find out for himself—can-can later he even got into trouble.

'The five thousand years I spent in that dungeon turned out to be five years on earth, if my mother and sister were still alive would they be okay?'

Ilya started thinking about his remaining family, he wished they were both fine so he still had a goal of returning to earth.

"You ready?"

Do Hwa asked again. Ilya nodded steadily, his eyes looking at Gate and then they stepped together.
