A Monster Hunter Born of Capitalism

“Look, I did it, didn't I? I'll be right back on my feet. ”

Zeus was the first one to spit out the image of a meteor wearing a thalaria. But Loki looked at Zeus with a pathetic look on his face.

“I think it's a little late for confident. The sun is down. Can't you see that? ”

Loki bruised Zeus, pointing to the round full moon, which looks out of the temple.

“The sun sets early, so Helios must have finished early today. ”

“With excuses. Even if Olympus' time flows differently, it's too late. ”

Zeus didn't think he would come this late. Tallaria is not an object to hide its owner. It's a very simple tool that you just have to put on your feet and then keep the center of your body moving, but it takes that long. In the corner of Zeus' heart, anxiety blossomed.

Can he... succeed? ’

If he knew someone else who could do this, he would have done it for him. But none of the hunters Zeus knew were worthy of it.

“You're nervous, aren't you?"

“Yes, I never thought it would take so long to handle a Tallaria. ”

“He's really stupid, except when he's doing his hair. ”

“Glad to see the hay's back. Odysseus was a bald man, too. I hope that weed works in Yggdrasil. ”

“He takes care of his own life... I'm sure he'll be good at it." ”

“…… you have to do well. We have to do it right, or we're all gonna die. ”

Zeus decided to trust him. There was nothing else I could do.

“Have you decided to come back? ”

“Yes, well. If he's going to die and he's going to die, there's got to be some way he's not going to die. I wish I had a choice that wasn't both. ”

Yooseong sighed and replied.

“It will take me a while to borrow something from my children and brothers. Until then, you can be free in Olympus. Oh, you like banquets? I will hold a sacred banquet for you to leave Yggdrasil. ”

“Don't be embarrassed if you fail. Maybe it'll be different then. ”

“Huh, a man is insisting on a banquet. The banquet is full of booze and women. As long as beautiful nimps and fairies are with each other in the audience... ”

“That's far enough. ”

Yooseong hurriedly hung up on Zeus because a harsh word seemed to pop out.

“And I hate fairies. because I've been through a lot because of fairies. ”

“What cute fairies. You don't say that. ”

“Zeus is a woman who can't lead a clan. Ah.”

He realized that he had made a mistake. Who likes this sarcastic tone? He thought Zeus would be very angry. In the mythology, Zeus once inflicted a great deal of punishment on Humans who insulted him.

‘Oh, I said I wouldn't make a mistake. ’

Yooseong told me to watch my words in front of Zeus. I told him not to worry confidently, but he was ruined.

“ ……. ”

Zeus shuts his mouth without saying a word. Only Loki smiles as if things were funny.

“Well, it's true. ”

However, unlike what Yooseong had in mind, Zeus' mouth was filled with laughter, not angry voices.

Are you okay? ’

Zeus doesn't seem to be at all angry. I don't know if he's been altered or patient as he gets older, but it was clear that he wasn't angry.

“If you had said that in front of me a long time ago, you would have yelled blasphemy and lightning struck and burned it all at once, but now it's different. As time went by, all the humans were right about me. I hear that's what they take you for these days. ”

Even if the old laws were shit, they would have taken rape. They couldn't catch Zeus and punish him because he was a god, but they would have caught him and punished him if he wasn't. It was fortunate that Zeus realized that at least now.

“And in the human world these days, my image is so strong that I'm willing to do it now. ”

Zeus knew his image was shit. I didn't want to take the blame because the universal image was like that and Zeus realized what he was doing over time.

“If my body gets repaired this time, I want to have a relationship. In a different way than before. ”

Zeus declares he will use legal means unlike before.

"Isn't that an affair, too? ’

I had that thought in my mind, but I decided to keep this word in my mind.

“Yooseong, what are you going to do now? Are you going straight down? ”

“No, Elissium? I'm gonna stop by there and then I'm gonna go down. Where the hell is Elissium, anyway? ”

“Elissium? Elissium is a plain just below Olympus. Just like the warriors Odin brought to Valhalla, the warriors of Olympus gather in Elissium Plain. ”

Elissium could have been a Greek version of Valhalla. Unlike dogs and cattle and scraping Asgard, Elissium gathers people who have nothing to do with the same battle as sculptors and philosophers.

“It'll be full of people you've seen on World History. Did you see any strangers back at the meeting at the Pantheon? ”

“Clothes were similar to those I learned at school. But I didn't see his face. ”

If I hadn't dozed off in class, I would have remembered my face.

“So we have to go back down this mountain to get to Elissium? ”

“Yes. But you have thalaria, so you can go down very comfortably. When the spirits of Elissium came here, they climbed on two legs. ”

“Wow, you walked up this high mountain? ”

Walking up this high mountain on two legs. I thought it was great. So he was called a hero.

“But why Elissium? Does anyone know anything? Don't you have one?”

“Do you remember that gladiator at the conference who kept staring at me? ”

“Uh, what about the gladiator? ”

“They say he waits in Elissium. I don't know who that is, but I think it's one of the spirits that's been watching my channel. Let's go meet her and go back. ”

“Back to the human world? Why don't you just stay here? It'll be safer here. ”

“I'm kind of busy myself. I have a lot of work to do. Honestly, I want to rest here, but I have to go down after this. ”

After briefly explaining to Loki what had happened, he escaped from the Pantheon.

Yooseong went down Mount Olympus as Loki had told him. The Tallaria has allowed me to reach the Elissium Plain without any effort.

At first, I thought of leaving a tent like an Native American on a vast plains, only hearing the name Elissium Plain, but not at all. There was a large city on the Elissium Plain.

“This is a completely different city than Valhalla. ”

Valhalla fills a vast palace with warriors, but Elissium seems to see a city where people live. If there is a big difference from Valhalla, Elissium is vibrant and far away from the feeling of grief.

“I heard Elissium is definitely the afterlife. What a lively afterlife. ”

There were even children in Elissium who were separated from the great works of heroes.

“That's weird.”

The meteor walked into Elissium. The warriors of Valhalla were not interested at all because they felt like they could fight on foot, but Elissium became interested.

“I need to take a look. ”

* * *

“Wow, this place is so good. ”

Yooseong walked down the street chewing and eating roasted flour bread. This bread, coated with special elixir honey, was amazing. The baker said he came to Elissium in recognition of the gods as the only baking skill. Seeing the taste, I could see why the gods acknowledged it.

“I'm glad this isn't the food of the gods. ”

The bread in the Elissium market was not the food of gods like Ambrosia and Nectar. The bakery owner sold bread to Yooseong and said this bread was common bread for the people of Elissium. It was also said to be no different from human bread at all.

“The ordinary food eaten by the inhabitants of Elissium is breathtaking, but the food eaten by the gods is even more delicious. ”

Yooseong swallowed another loaf of bread and moved around busy. The place where Yooseong was headed was the Colosseum in Elissium. I did not go to see gladiators' matches or circuses held in the Colosseum. It was because the gladiator looking for Yooseong was in the Colosseum.

“If you told him to come, he'd have to wait at the entrance. He's waiting inside. He's an old man. Don't you know his manners? ”

Yooseong chewed up the gladiator well in advance because he could not say it clearly when I met him in person. As I was walking around the alley, a little boy ran up and bumped into him.

“Oh! Oh! ”

Heave-ho!

The child falls, making a loud noise.

“Kid, are you okay? ”

Yooseong reached out his hand to the fallen child. Fortunately, the fallen child stood up and tucked the dirt on his clothes to make sure that he was not hurt.

“It's okay. It's my fault I was running in the alleyway. ”

For a child, it was a pretty crappy, conceptual kid. I thought it wouldn't be weird to be annoyed when I cried and squeezed because of myself, but the boy fell.

“I'm sorry."

The child bowed his head to Yooseong and apologized and disappeared.

“What a conceptual boy. I wish all the little kids were like that. ”

It's been a long time since I met a conceptual child and tried to feel a little better, but my back was weak.

“Huh? Where's my money bag? ”

Yooseong traded jewels in Elissium for money in Elissium. He put money in his little pocket and hung it on his belt because he was too tired to close his inventory. But the pouch was gone.

“When? Who? ”

Yooseong is a spirit, so his senses are much better than Humans. If someone secretly touched his body, I could see right away, but I didn't.

“Was it Heros?" Those who first came to Elissium are often beaten by that child. He's a kid, but he's as good at pickpocketing as an adult. ”

“Where did he come from again? ”

“Greetings, Yooseong Han. This is the first time we've actually met. I'm a free fighter. ”

“Huh? A freedom fighter? The one who put me on the Angel Island sponsorship mission? ”

A Freedom Fighter who made a huge contribution to the growth of meteors on the Isle of Angels on sponsored missions.

The gladiator was the freedom fighter.
