A Monster Hunter Born of Capitalism

“Uweeeek.”

When he arrived on a shuttle at Ganymede, one of Jupiter's satellites, he rushed to the toilet of the shuttle center and fell asleep.

Every time I warp, it's like this. My insides were turned upside down and my head was pinching. Unlike the others, the warp is still difficult to adapt to. Even when warping from Caden to Earth, Yooseong was in trouble because of the nausea and depression.

“Ugh... I thought it would be better this time. ”

I thought it would get better this time, but it didn't. Nothing changed compared to the last time. I felt sad because I was relieved.

“Don't you look well? ”

Jerome saw the face of Yooseong leaving the bathroom with a gentle expression and asked him.

“You can't tell by pretending. It's not good. ”

“You didn't have a warp murmur. ”

“This is it. ”

“Is this also the effect of surgery? I thought there were no side effects like this... ”

“I don't know, man. How much farther is the Sink Tank Research Foundation than that? ”

“About 30 minutes on a speedboat? We'll be there soon."

The speedboat was operated by no one to control whether it operated as an unmanned system, and it automatically operated once it entered its destination. Jerome entered the coordinates of the lab and the speedboat automatically flew to the destination.

‘Jerome had his own chauffeur on Earth...... Is that just Jerome's taste? ’

I didn't understand why he was wearing a driver when there was an unmanned system, but it wasn't that important, so I went on. As Jerome said, he was on a speedboat and was able to get to the lab in the tank in no time.

When the speedboat arrived, it was in the middle of a dense forest. The building that appears to be a laboratory was nowhere to be found. Whether I was wondering or not, Yooseong questioned Jerome.

“This is where the lab is? All I see are trees. ”

“Wait a minute. The sink is reluctant to come in contact with the outside, so it hides the entrance like this. So only someone you know can get in. ”

Jerome said so, and began to grope the bark of the tree.

“I was somewhere near here... I can't remember much since I haven't been here. Ah! Found it! ”

Jerome reaches into the depression of the tree with his hands on it. Jerome's stuttering tree was not a tree, but an artificial structure.

Whoo-hoo!

Jerome presses the button and in the middle of the forest there is a structure that looks like a telephone booth.

“What is that? ”

“Elevator. The lab is underground. ”

Meteor and Jerome boarded the elevator. The elevator stops long after it's gone down to the basement.

Tiring!

When the door opens, you see fully-armed guards. As the security guard held the gun to his head and shouted, Yooseong and Jerome raised their hands above their heads without saying a word.

“Who are you?”

The guard's words were short and concise.

“Shouldn't it be time to memorize your face as a patron? Jerome Grisia.”

“What about the one next to him? ”

“My friend. ”

“There is no name for my friend in this world. State your name."

“Yooseong Han. This is the son of Han Se Chan, commander of the Lunar Base. ”

“What is the purpose of your visit? ”

“I just want to talk to you. Dr. Manstein found something that would knock him out. ”

“What is the purpose of your friend's visit? ”

“He's the point. Don't let it out. ”

The guard, who listens to Jerome, slowly lowers his gun. I manipulated the security guard who once spilled the meteor and Jerome to open the door to the lab.

“You may enter. ”

The door opened and Jerome and Yooseong entered the lab.

“But Jerome, Who is Manstein?”

“Albert Manstein. He's the head of this laboratory called the Great Genius. I bet you've heard of the Manstein family. ”

Hearing Jerome's words, I began to naturally think of the knowledge of the Manstein family in his head. The faint pieces of memory become clearer and clearer, one by one. It felt like it was bringing out the memories that I had put in the other side.

Is this the memory implant you were injected with? ’

The Manstein family was a family of geniuses from the space age. Albert Manstein's grandfather Joseph Manstein had succeeded in utilizing antimatter and had accelerated the development of space that had halted at the Moon Base and Mars. Not only that, but we also came up with the perfect theory to make planetary terraforming a reality, and we did.

Alan Manstein, Joseph's son and Albert's father, invented warp technology and enabled mankind to make its way around the universe. Albert Manstein has also achieved many achievements, raising the Manstein family name.

After a tremendous feat, the Manstein family unveiled all their skills for free at some point and hid their tracks.

“I heard the Manstein family, who led the Space Age, has gone dark. ”

“Not exactly longitudinal, but stuck in a sink with all the geniuses of the universe. So we don't know the existence of the tank, except for a few backers. ”

“How did you know about the sink? ”

“It's been a long time since my grandfather. I don't know the details. ”

When Jerome and Yooseong arrived in the wardrobe, they carefully knocked on the door.

Knock, knock. Knock.

“Come in.”

Beyond the door, you hear the voice of a kind, cozy old man. Jerome opens the door after the old man's permission has been given.

When I opened the door, I saw an old man with white hair and a long beard. He was Albert Manstein, the lab director of the sink tank and the current household of the Manstein family.

When Manstein saw Jerome's face when he opened the door, he greeted him.

“It's been a long time, Jerome. I've never seen my friend next to me... ”

“This is my friend. His name is Han Yooseong.”

“Jerome, if it's a friend you brought, it means you're trustworthy. Sit down, both of you. We have plenty of time. Let's talk slowly. ”

“Let's take a look at this first. ”

Jerome manipulated his handset and sent research data on the stone to Manstein's computer.

“That's a lot of energy! High stability... …. It is speculated that when assembled, it will resonate and multiply the output? Brilliant! Brilliant! Did you invent something new? ”

“A new substance that could turn the universe upside down. Yooseong, can you get me some horseshoes? ”

Yooseong took the stable stone from his inventory and placed it on his desk.

“This gem is new material. His name is Mahjong. ”

“Horse 's-eye... what a mysterious name. ”

Manstein looks around, looking at it mysteriously with his horseshoe.

“You said General Manstein? Would you look at this, too?”

This time, Yooseong pulled out the inside and potion of the pear dragon from his inventory and placed it on his desk.

“What is this? ”

“Potions and interiors. This is also new material, like the cobblestone. Can you analyze it for me? ”

“Oh! Of course you can. If it's a new substance like this, I'd rather ask it from my side! ”

The voice of General Manstein was heightened as if it were another new substance. Manstein holds a handset on his desk and dials the speed dial.

Yes, Warden.

“Caleb! Turn on the ultra-precise material analyzer right now.

XMT22?

“Yes. Put it on and have it ready for me to start analyzing it right away. ”

Copy that, Warden.

General Manstein has put down his handset.

“Let's get going. I'm the one who needs to check right away. ”

Meteor and Jerome followed Complaint Manstein to the location of the material analyzer.

The material analyzer arrived at the lab and confirmed it was a massive structure that used a whole compartment of the lab.

“It's huge. ”

The surprised meteor mutters at the massive size of the material analyzer.

“I put in several different analyzers and they grew in size. They're big, but they're fast and they're accurate. ”

After saying that, Manstein put the potions and interior of Yooseong in the analyzer and began touching the panel. Manstein briefly manipulated the panel of the material analyzer and pressed the red button to activate the analyzer.

“The analysis will be done shortly. About ten minutes? ”

“So soon? ”

“Do you know how many supercomputers are in this analyzer? Over ten. Now that you've developed your skills, you should take advantage of the benefits. ”

According to Manstein, the analysis of the cabinet and the potion was completed in ten minutes. However, Yooseong was a little shocked that he didn't expect to finish the analysis so quickly because it was a new material.

“Let's see…… this liquid called potion is melted with unknown ingredients! Free to transform into solid, liquid and gaseous forms! The atomic arrangement is in a new form and the bond structure also depends on the state of the material. In addition, the ingredients are mostly consistent with the ingredients that make up the stone tablets... …. It looks like it's possible to create an Artificial Stone using the ingredients contained in this potion. ”

Manstein saw the results on the screen and began to explain to Yooseong and Jerome.

“Potions are roughly like this, and the ingredient in this Inner Bead seems to strengthen the human body like the medicine used to make the Bottle. We need to do some more experiments to determine exactly what we're going to do, but this is how the analysis is coming out. ”

“Warden, the ingredient in that potion is Mana. ”

“Mana? What a nice name for a novel or a game. ”

“As you've seen, Mana can melt in the air, turn into a liquid like a potion, turn into a solid like a cobblestone. And you can put it on your body like this coating. ”

Yooseong lifted Mana and wrapped it around his body. Manawa slips out of the Mana Nugget like a tidal wave. Manstein and Jerome's eyes widened as they saw the blue Mana surrounding the body of the meteor.

“I didn't have anything like that before. ”

“Mana wrapped around you? Where the hell did they get Mana? ”

“It was pulled from my body. Mana can accumulate in people. ”

Manstein began to ask questions about his ability to accumulate Mana in his body.

“Accumulate on the body? What shape are they accumulating in? And even if it accumulates, what principle do you use to wrap it around your body? ”

It was quite difficult to answer all of Manstein's questions, which were pouring out like rapid fire.

“So this Mana just happened to find a substance, liquefied it very accidentally, and ingested it very, very accidentally, and then wrapped it around your body with free materials, and that's possible? ”

“Yes.”

“Actually, you don't have much credibility. But did you say Yooseong? I can trust no one but you knows this Mana substance. ”

“I showed Mana to the warden because I want you to develop weapons. ”

“Weapons?”

“Yes. If you cover yourself with Mana, the firearms won't work. So I want you to use this Mana to develop a weapon that can penetrate Mana. ”

“If you cover yourself with Mana, the firearms won't work? How is that even possible? Maybe this Mana is some kind of energy station? ”

“I don't know what the energy station is, but this Mana... ”

“Why do you want to explain the verse so much? You can shoot him yourself. ”

A voice like a marble cut off his words and interrupted the conversation. You turn your head in the direction of your voice, and you see a girl in a white robe walking towards you with a handgun.

“Kid?”

“He's not a kid. Are you an adult?”

The girl responded nervously with the words "boy."

“Warden, who's the girl? ”

“She's my granddaughter. Her name is Sofia. She may look like that, but she'll be 30 next year. ”

“Grandpa, thirty and twenty-nine are very different. Why do you insist on 30? ”

“That's my grandfather's heart. It's Sophie."

“Stop calling me Sophie! Am I a child?”

Sophie seemed to be an affectionate name for President Manstein.

“Hmmm……. After all, if you shoot a gun, why does it bother you so much that everything is solved? ”

Chop chop.

“Sophie! A gun to a man... ”

Taang!

A single shot that rings out the lab. The bullet flew to the thigh of the meteor. But his body was fine. The bullet that struck the Mana surrounding the body of Yooseong dropped to the ground, deflected.

“You're really stopping me? ”

Sofia muttered when she saw a healthy meteor. And then I saw the guards rushing behind her.

“Doctor! What was that gunfire?" ”

“Just in time. Give me that gun. ”

Tak!

Sofia takes the jacquard the security guard was holding and aims at the meteor. Yooseong shouted urgently, noticing that Jakal's gun was pointing at him.

“Hey! Stop! I don't have much Mana right now.... ”

Heave-ho!

Tuda da da da!

However, the words of Yooseong were buried in the gunfire that Jakal was pouring out. Jakal continues to unleash ammunition on the meteor. There were tons of Jakal's bullets at Sofia's feet looking at the meteor with an interesting look.

Shhh!

Tick, tick!

After a few moments, Jacquard pulls the trigger, leaving nothing but ticks.

The people in the lab were looking at him with an unbelievable look.

“This isn't working, is it? ”

“I went from this close to the speaker, but he's fine, right? ”

“I can't believe my eyes. ”

“Yooseong! Are you okay? ”

Jerome ran to Yooseong.

“I almost searched.... ”

There was very little Mana, so he mixed the internal air of the short circuit and the mana around his body. If only there were a few more shots of Jakal, it would be a real beehive.

“Are you... are you crazy? ”

“What? I wish I had lived. You said that before. I thought you said shooting didn't work. ”

I could instinctively tell when I saw Sofia's smiling face as if it was funny. It was clear that there was a screw loose somewhere. Yooseong sensed a great danger.
