But the first group of explorers who went in still haven't returned.

No one knows what happened to them in there, and no one knows whether they are dead or alive.

But their disappearance could not dampen the enthusiasm of other adventure enthusiasts, and some of them made plans to travel to that world together.

Before they left this time, the federal government equipped each of them with sophisticated weapons, sufficient food, and various protective equipment.

The "door" was only open for one day, and after these people left, it was closed again as expected.

With the experience from last time, everyone was no longer so anxious, but watched and waited quietly, waiting for the "door" to open again.

As expected, on the seventeenth day, the "door" opened.

Someone is back.

Those who came back were the first group to go in.

Although covered in wounds, he also brought back precious information from another world.

It is a pristine world that has not been polluted by humans.

There were terrible monsters everywhere. The smallest of them was two or three people tall, and the largest was as big as a mountain.

Human weapons have no effect on them at all. They also eat humans. No, they eat everything. Some not only eat other species, but also their own kind. Humans are just enough to fill their teeth.

He told his story to the federal government.

As soon as he entered that world, he lost contact with his companions.

The door on the wall is just a portal that can teleport everyone who enters to a different place.

He was sent to a valley surrounded by mountains and rivers. He walked for a long time and a long way, but he did not find his companions. The fully automatic high-tech equipment he carried with him all failed the moment he entered. The communicator did not work, the sensor, the scanner did not work, even the most primitive compass he carried with him did not work.

All I have available is a camera and a gun.

During these nearly two months, he encountered many monsters, including a monkey with more than a dozen eyes, a wild boar with horns as tall as a two-story building, and a giant python with densely packed legs...

Fortunately, the giant monster looked down on him as a human who was not enough to fill his teeth, and ignored him. The fatal thing was those small carnivores that were not big in size and had always become food for the giant carnivores.

In this world of giant beasts, humans are like newborn babies, and what awaits them is only death.

It was really all luck that he was able to get out.

Of course, not all he brought back were the horrors of another world.

Also: wealth.

The rich mineral resources, precious gold, silver, jade, and vast fertile land are all things that the federal government's leaders - the tycoons - are reluctant to miss.

Is that a primitive world full of dangers and monsters?

No! In the eyes of the chaebols, it was a kingdom of wealth that had not yet been conquered, and a hotbed that would nourish the rapid accumulation of their family capital.

So what if there are giant beasts? No matter how big they are, they are not made of steel and are invulnerable to weapons. The federal government's elite soldiers can definitely crush them.

So, this world got a name, "Threshold".

The next step was for the chaebols to completely block off the area where the Threshold was located, and ordered that no one be allowed to approach, claiming that the place was dangerous.

The Federation's purpose in doing this is simply to monopolize all the treasures in the Threshold. After all, most of the jewels mined from the Threshold will be sold to ordinary people at high prices in the future.
