The popular manhwa serial The Dark Mage’s Return to Enlistment was written by Hwanggeum Bidulgi and drawn by Ohcomic. It narrates the tale of Minjoon Kim, a high school student who used black magic to rescue another planet after being called there as a dark mage.
The next day, however, he had to go back to Earth and enroll in the army since creatures were emerging from the dungeons. The manhwa’s distinctive narrative and cast of characters have drawn a large following. It mixes action, fantasy, humor, and military themes.
In the previous chapter, a lively scene of friends sharing stories and giggles after a recent trip was presented. But when Sergeant Kim Minjoon learns crucial information about a dungeon he has been keeping an eye on, his day drastically changes.
At first, he’s annoyed, but he soon realizes this is a serious problem. The dungeon is more busy than he had anticipated, and he plans to visit Daejeon the next day.
Particularly in light of the discovery of an exceptionally large number of these stones, Kim Minjoon is rather concerned about this. Things start to get serious at that point. Since attention isn’t always a good thing, the division officer is nervous about all the attention Kim Minjun will be receiving once again.
Recap
A colorful scene with people laughing and talking about their experiences after returning from an expedition: his first response is an annoyance, but he quickly understands that this is a major issue and that he has to address it.
Lee Bonggu claims that the number of magic stones he has recorded is much more than is usually mentioned. Kim Minjoon has expressed concerns regarding this subject, primarily due to the fact that a sizable quantity of these stones were found.
When something like this happens, things start to get more serious. More positivity is required. Kim Minjoon refers to whatever she finds unusual as a fake dungeon. Even if everyone is unfamiliar with the news, it is definitely harmful.
He takes a chance to highlight the urgent issue and expose his genuine identity as the sense of urgency rises. However, when Sergeant Kim Minjoon receives crucial information about a dungeon he has been keeping an eye on, things drastically change. It seems that the dungeons are busier than he had expected; therefore, he will be doing some research in Daejeon the next day.
Spoilers
When Minjoon and his group arrive at the Hwacheon base at the beginning of the chapter, General Lee and his dark magnate daughter Juseong meet them.
When Juseong sees Minjoon, she is taken aback since she knows him as the hero who used dark magic to rescue the other world. His strength and his bond with Sangjin, the other black magician in his group, pique her interest as well.
Minjoon is also taken aback upon seeing Juseong since he recalls her as his friend and ally—the princess of the other world. He questions her military duties and the reason she is here.
Juseong is in charge of the special forces group that deals with dungeons and monsters, General Lee says. He also says that he has a specific assignment for Minjun and that he is aware of his identity and accomplishments in the other realm.
The goal is to look into what caused the dungeon breach that happened in Hwacheon and determine if there had anything to do with the enigmatic group responsible for the most recent assaults on military installations.
Minjoon agrees to take on the mission because he wants to protect the people and feels bad about the situation. He also searches for clues about returning to the other world, where he abandoned his beloved Eunha.
