Synopsis

The protagonist defeats a 'Ruler of the Land' monster by letting it swallow him whole and then attacking from within. This allows him to clear a solo event gate and acquire a 'Cold Card', which he uses to awaken a new skill called 'Metal Bending'. He also strengthens his body, and prepares for a large Seoul-covering gate which appears. He is then tricked by an old man into entering a dangerous situation first, despite it appearing that others should.
