A Monster Hunter Born of Capitalism

40. I can't save the world... by myself... No, I can't save the inner circle (1)

“Titania. I think that alchemist we met yesterday was amazing. The stats just jumped to Class C. He may be a little strange, but his skills are real. ”

“Eve told me this morning. I heard you were cursed by the Petrifying Star. ”

“Oh, that? I ate an elixir and it was quick. ”

“Elixir? Hmm... Elixir is one of the finest restoration items, and you gave it to Yooseong for the first time yesterday? ”

“They say it's because of reputation. ”

“Even with reputation, elixirs aren't an easy item to give..." ”

Titania was a little suspicious about the alchemist who gave Elixir to her.

It was because very few people handed in the best recovery items thoughtfully. It was because it was hard to believe that anyone in an intimate relationship would hand it over to Yooseong who I met yesterday.

“What are you so serious about? He didn't do anything bad. He did something good. ”

It's good. I didn't think of Yooseong much.

“Did I take it too seriously? ”

“Yeah, let's move on. ”

“Um... I get it. It wasn't harmed by Yooseong. By the way, Yooseong, you've been looking at your phone for a while now. ”

“I'm going to the party. I'm looking for the right party on the board. ”

Now that your average stats have reached C, it's time to party play. The time has come to party with other Hunters and spin a vast field dungeon.

It was also an opportunity to see what other hunters were good at, how they hunted, and to make new connections.

“And I've got to get my meds. ”

An interior made with the energy of monsters accumulating has a low chance of being obtained from monsters appearing in a dungeon of Class C or higher.

Don't you think catching monsters will give you a reward? It could be thought, but it was not that good because there were various conditions for the internal lining to be created.

However, there are a few facts that have been revealed about the Internal Affairs. The fact that the stronger the monster, the more likely the inner circle will be to appear, and that the inner circle will be created by monsters who use chi than monsters who use Mana.

So Yooseong had been watching the party recruitment board of the dungeon called 'Wilderness of the Cockroaches’ for a long time.

The female soil dragon, the boss monster in the wilderness of the female soil dragon, was a monster close to the monster.

That said, there is a slightly higher probability of an inner circle than other dungeons.

“Oh! That's it! ”

After going around for an hour to join the party, Yooseong was able to save the party. The party that Yooseong found was a four-person party of a moderate size, neither small nor large.

Tiring!

As soon as I applied, the alarm on my phone rang. I got a text. I looked at the screen, and it was a text from the party leader.

[Han Yooseong? Nice to meet you. My name is Mineral Water, party master. I'm done talking to the rest of the party. Let's meet at Coffee Beans in front of the dungeon and depart by 1pm.]

Coffee Beans was the name of a famous coffee chain. Seeing that I was going to meet you at the cafe, I didn't just want to leave, but I thought I'd leave after opening my face a little.

“1: 00 p.m.? It's perfect after dinner. ”

It's 10: 30 in the morning. The portal to the female soil dragon's wilderness was an hour away from the home of the meteor.

I had enough time to eat and go.

Today's breakfast and lunch menu is ramen.

“I never get tired of it. ”

Yooseong tears the sack of ramen again today.

* * *

Darling, darlings!

As you pull the door, the bell on the door rings and makes a sound.

“Welcome. ”

Cafe Albasant bows his head. Yooseong walked past the counter towards the stairs. I got a text ten minutes before I arrived at the cafe. It was a text from one of the party members who arrived early. The text said to come up to the second floor.

Unlike the crowded first floor, the second floor of the cafe was still quiet. Yooseong wandered around the cafe looking for a party member.

“Where are you... …. ”

Yooseong decided to send a text. When I tapped the keyboard and texted, I heard a text message in the back.

Katoke!

‘Oh, there he is. ’

Yooseong turned his head.

Turning his head, what he saw was a cute woman with a white body and a skeleton.

“What the hell is that? ”

Why is Skeleton sitting in a cafe?

At that moment, Yooseong's head became complicated.

“Hey, are you having a party...? ”

I carefully asked the woman when I approached the table.

“Oh, yes! Yes, please, have a seat. ”

Yooseong took out the chair and sat carefully on the table.

Gooooo!

A hollow snow skeleton was staring at him.

What the hell is that? What about the skeleton?

When Yooseong was thinking that way, the woman spoke.

“It's called the Hongserin. Please take good care of it."

“Hongserin. Nice to meet you. I'm Han Yooseong.”

“Yes. Nice to meet you. ”

I said a quick hello to the two of you.

“Can you tell me what that skeleton next to you is...? ”

“That's my dad. ”

“Dad?”

Exactly! Exactly! Exactly!

Skeleton slams his chin into the words of the red serine and extends his hand.

What, are you gonna shake his hand? ’

Yooseong held Skeleton's bony hand and reacted to the handshake.

Zec!

You pick up a sketchbook that you don't know where the skeleton that finished shaking hands came from, and pick up a pen and start writing.

Hi, this is serine becoming a father. It's called the Hongido.

A skeleton with letters in the sketchbook.

What is it, love actuality? ’

Seeing the skeleton writing letters on the sketchbook reminded me of a scene from a movie I had seen before.

“Serine's father? Then why is the skeleton……. ”

Why would a woman named Hongserin turn her father into an undead? I wondered why Yooseong.

You must be surprised. My daughter Serine is a commander, Necromancer. Serine was summoned to Estelle and trained in command under the Black Wizards. The first thing Serine had done when she came back was resurrect me to the Undead and bring me back to life. I was a little surprised at first, but it's pretty good to see my daughter again. I can protect my daughter with my own hands. Hahaha!

Exactly! Exactly! Exactly!

The redness hit my chin and started laughing.

This is my daughter's first party. Please pay more attention. I'll work hard until the bones turn to dust!

“Dad. I can't live with the powder..." ”

Well, you better watch out!

Hongido was quite a pleasant person, rather than a pleasant skeleton.

“Ah! You're here. ”

As Yooseong and the Hongserin woman were talking, the party leader and Ma miner arrived. Ma Kwang-soo approached the table where the two people were sitting and took off his hat.

Aaaaah!

‘Ugh! My eyes...! ’

Cafe lights reflect on the head of the mineral water and illuminate the surroundings. He closed his eyes tightly to the morning light like the rising sun.

‘Skill……! ’

It was radiant enough to be mistaken for a skill.

Only a few minutes later, Yooseong could barely look at the gleaming water.

The head of the mineral water, which had nothing but a side head, was shining with a shimmering glow.

"Shining Light! ’

Head count! ’

Mineral water combined. That's a great name. Of course, I didn't know if the name "Mineral Water" was really that Chinese.

“Bald guys are so hairy.... ”

“Yes? What did you just say? ”

“Oh, no. ”

I'm so glad you didn't hear.

“My name is Mineral Water, the party master. I'm a fighter. I'm a dealer with a tank. Please take good care of it."

The water was a horse, clearing the head of the horse that does not exist.

“There are no tankers at this party, so I'll drag the monsters' aggressors from the dungeon. You can attack monsters while the Aggro of monsters is surrounded by me. ”

“Isn't there one person missing...? ”

The red serine cautiously speaks out.

We have three men and an undead. Four were right, but first, we're not undead, so let's exclude them. Then we're one short.

“Chunsam, one of the party members, said he would go directly to the small square in front of the dungeon. Hmm! It's almost time. Mr. Yooseong, Mr. Serine! So, shall we get going? ”

“Sure."

* * *

The town square was quite quiet. As I entered the town square, I approached the man with his legs crossed.

“Nice to meet you, Chunsam. This is Ma Kwang-soo, the party leader. These are Mr. Hong Serin and Mr. Han Yoo-sung. ”

“Here comes Choonsam. What's more, that skeleton? ”

Gongchunsam was also surprised to see the red prayer like Yooseong.

“That's my dad. ”

“Dad? You're calling your dad an undead? Oh, come on. ”

Yooseong and his group end their introduction briefly.

“There's the party. I need to check it out before I turn the dungeon. ”

“Yes, Chunsam. What do you mean?”

“Let's start with each other's grades. ”

“Rank?”

“I don't know how many times those low-level hunters have failed to clear the dungeon since they grabbed my ankle. So let's check in advance and get going. Now, I'm Class C. ”

Gongchunsam gave Hunter his license, saying. Song Choonsam also issued a license for Ma mineral water and Hong Serin. Both were Class C Hunters.

“Hurry up and get it out. ”

Yooseong also took out a license on the prompting of mine water.

“Let's see……. Class F? Was there really class F? No, are you kidding me? ”

After looking at Yooseong's license, Gongcheonsam started yelling.

“This party is over! Where are you gonna get an F class? Kuaak! Kuaak! I'm so unlucky! ”

“Chunsam, calm down. ”

“Party Leader! Do I look calm now? You throw a party and you don't even check the ratings? The Wilderness of Clay Dragon is a Class C-B dungeon! Most people go to C-minus and D-minus parties. Class F, are you kidding me? ”

“Oops…. I should have told you. Yooseong is only a Class F because he hasn't updated his rank, but his stats are Class C Hunter. Right, Yooseong? ”

Marminer turned his head to look at him. Yooseong nodded.

“So it's not a problem? ”

“What the hell did you do to get an F? I've never heard of an F rank hunter in my life. ”

“There was a mistake when the administrative agency machine malfunctioned and rated it. I just got an" F "because I didn't want to retest it. Okay?”

“Hey, bro. If it's a scam, you'll die. Let's see what happens when you grab my ankle inside. ”

Gongchunsam blabbered and warned Yooseong.

‘Ha, he's getting on my nerves. ’

Yooseong is not an adult soldier. Yooseong was not the type to pass up after hearing such words.

Yooseong approached Choonsam. Yooseong scratched his head and reached out to Choonsam.

“Sorry, Chunsam. I didn't say anything in advance, and it bothered me. So why don't we shake hands while we're at it? ”

“What are you talking about? ”

“Ah……. I'm sorry, but what about once in a while? ”

When Yooseong asked again, Yooseong was reluctant to hold his hand.

Kuaaak!

When Gongchunsam's hand touched, Yooseong gave his hand strength.

“Hehe! You bastard...! ”

Gongcheonsam's face distorted. Yooseong took his head to the ear of Choonsam and whispered small.

“Chunsam.... Let's do this together. Come on, let's clear the dungeon. I heard you keep failing... I'm sorry if you fail again, right? ”

“Ugh... ”

“Now that the public conversation is over, shall we have a private conversation? ”

The tone of his voice that was hanging out changed. His voice was aggressive.

“Hey, Gongchunsam. I'm not going to grab your ankle. You're not going to grab mine. And fuck you. You get someone to talk to you once? I'm not a good person. The next time you do that, there will be no rumblings. ”

“This bastard……! ”

Gongcheonsam tried to untie Yooseong's hand, but it was not easy. When his face turned red, Yooseong untied his hands.

“Woohoo. My Cheonsam has a very red face. Do you see a boiler in the square? As expected, the Bureau has a lot of money. Mr. Gwangsoo, Mr. Serine! Chun-Sam said you're ready. Shall we go? ”

Yooseong smiled at Choonsam.
