The two entered the portal side by side. Kang Oh had passed through several portals before, but this was the first time his heart had pounded so hard. 

'Despia... I wonder what kind of place it is.'

It was clearly a dangerous place. Song Lee Shen, a geography professor at Peking University, had named Despia one of Arth's most dangerous places. 

Plus, it was called the Land that Bordered Hell! That only made him more excited. High risk, high reward! The more dangerous it was, the more profitable it would be.

'Plus, if I'm the first player to enter Despia, then...' He'd be able to monopolize Despia for a while! That'd be a huge advantage.

Not only would it give him a chance to complete Eder's quest, but he'd also be able to complete Valan's third test; find the Black Hammer Dwarves and ask them to make him a demon sword out of the adamantium.
