I Was A Porter

_

“Bro, where did the gate gauge go to zero, like here? ”

My brother asked my brother because he couldn't remember when the Gate Gauge Explorer had been marked as 0.

“Call me Guild Master. ”

“Do you want to be vice guild leader in a guild with two handsome brothers and me? It's not a joke.”

Exactly!

I dared to feed my brother's head with a balm of honey.

“There are two now, but they will grow to over 100 medium-sized guilds someday. You have to adapt now."

“Oh, come on. Yeah, he's gonna grow up, which is a class C. ”

He took a step back, stroking his head on an eventless night of honey.

“You're in Class C. Let's just shut up and check it out. ”

“What is Gate Gauge 0 like here? ”

When I waved the gate gauge and showed it to my brother, he looked at him like he was pathetic.

“What the hell, a dungeon without monsters. Remember that. That's why we only brought in mining supplies. ”

“Look, you've got to hunt monsters to get stronger fast. You can't just win a gate like this. ”

To my pathetic brother, he wanted to beat the monsters and become stronger as soon as possible, but he grumbled because he resented the Dungeon Beater.

“Hey, there are too many guilds that can't win like this. Stop talking nonsense and follow me. ”

I comforted my grumbling brother and stepped over the gate.

I opened my eyes again to the hard feeling of the ground that I felt on my toes as I moved through the gate in a feeling of nausea and walking through the air.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he looked around, depending on the microscopic light coming out of the gate, and he was stunned by the figure standing in the dark cave.

“Ugh!”

“Finally.”

When I heard a stranger's voice and was about to climb over the gate again, In-young stood in front of my brother.

Then my brother came through the gate, and I saw a man in a shabby cloak in front of his brother.

His brother, judging by the short situation before his brother's eyes, was about to question the Korean language he had heard, swung his pickaxe like a baseball bat.

“Die!”

The creature inside this gate, which no one but himself and his brother should have, was considered dangerous, and immediately swung the pickaxe at the man with his back.

However, the man sits on the floor, holding his brother's shoulder, just before the pickaxe touches the occipital, without looking back.

The big, misguided brother became conscious of the man who stood him up without hurting his brother, and began to observe the strange man's behavior slowly.

Although it was hard to predict age due to the spreading hair and hot, crooked beards, the sagging muscles that appeared between the worn clothes gave a tremendous sense of pressure.

The grip on his fallen brother's shoulder made no difference from his own strength, but fortunately, he was not hostile.

When my brother and I met, he regained consciousness and stood up straight with his legs braced, beating his cheeks in shock.

“Phew, you scared me. This gate is assigned from our Ensol Guild, but it seems you have come in wrong. Where are you from? ”

“Is that Korea beyond the gate? ”

The man who was suspicious of his brother's question asked the opposite question.

“Of course it's Korea. You would have come in there, too. ”

He frowned and answered, but the man was speechless.

“Please leave. I don't know if there's anything for mining, but you didn't get it all first, did you? Then it's illegal.”

While I was scolding for a way out of the man's silence, I asked him a few questions because I thought he might have snuck in and mined it, but he didn't care.

“If you go out, where's the gate entrance? ”

He frowned at the man's question.

Who doesn't even know where they came from?

“By Bundangcheon, of course. Have you lost your memory?”

At his words, the man folded his arms and lowered his head slightly, thinking for a moment and smiling.

I couldn't see his face in detail, but it must have been a very pleasant smile.

“There won't be any minerals. I'll give you a present instead. Keep turning left to win, and you'll get a present. ”

The man raises his head and walks out of the gate, saying there will be no minerals.

That said, my brother tried to catch the man, but I couldn't catch him because he was leaving so quickly.

My brother didn't go out through the gate because he didn't have any mining equipment and didn't seem to have any luggage, so he wiped the dust off his butt when he fell.

“Why did you fall? You almost killed him. ”

My brother who approached my side was shaking, thinking about the situation earlier.

“Hey, man, it could be a mistake coming in here, and you're wielding it all for nothing, you idiot! ”

“... No, my brother fell, so I thought I'd get attacked. ”

The brother who answered slightly discouragingly to his brother's reprimand was a bit unfair.

He ran because he thought his brother was in danger, but he was embarrassed that he didn't know.

“If I lose an attack, is there any guarantee that you will win? We have to run.”

I understood the meaning, but I was embarrassed, so I blushed and caressed my younger brother even more.

“If I run, I'll leave you to it? Don't bullshit me. Just walk ahead. ”

The brother who understood his brother's heart blushed beautifully, and looked at him, then he tangled his head, smiled, and walked ahead.

I led my brother, grumbling and complaining that his head was broken, and he walked along the left path that the man had taught me, just in case.

The cave was dark, but there were torches everywhere, and the wind kept blowing in front of it to see if the air was going well. At some point, the wind came out with a strange smell.

“Bro, this... ”

“Yes, it smells of blood. Just put it all down and pick up a pickaxe that can be used as a weapon. Let's slow down.”

He tried to say something, but his brother firmly believed in the gate gauge.

He slowly advances forward, holding the torch on the wall in his hand.

The smell of blood was getting darker and darker, but my brother seemed to have no intention of turning back.

One more turn to the left, grumbling into the idea of finding the source of this smell, and seeing a wide cavity.

And it was torn apart by countless monsters, blood forming a small lake and several layers of corpses.

“Tongue... Brother.”

“They're all dead. I don't even have a neighbour. ”

“No, it's not. Ugh. ”

My brother threw up, as if his head had become scrambled by the bitter scent of blood.

“This guy's so squeamish, Eww. ”

Mixed with the vibrating scent of blood in his nostrils and the smell from his brother's stomachs, the brother was emptying out his elongation.

The brother, who had emptied all the food in his stomach, wiped his tears with his throat when he had emptied his stomach juice.

The brother and brother raised their heads and saw each other with tears and snot, and at the same time, they burst the fire and laughed for a long time, and the brother led him to the entrance that calmed down and walked away.

“Hey, let's go out and get some gear. ”

“What if someone comes in? ”

“I'll be back. Keep guard at the gate entrance. I'll have to buy some masks to dismantle the monsters anyway. ”

I was excited and took a step to the gate entrance, and suddenly, in my brother's head, traces of monsters' deaths and the appearance of a man passed through my mind.

“But did those monsters kill him? ”

“Probably, right? Why was the gate gauge zero, by the way? ”

Once the gate was created, the finder reported it to the association, measured it with the gate gauge, then handed it over to the assigned guild and rechecked and entered the guild.

However, I doubted that there were monsters here where Gate Gauge was zero.

“Maybe they just came in and caught it before they even measured it. ”

“Is that so?"

When my brother told me not to say it out loud, my brother also wanted to say it.

“Of course. Hunton must have had a lot of money, seeing as he didn't have any byproducts. ”

“I thought monsters didn't have marble... But if you sell them all, you'll make some money, right? ”

“Of course.”

As he arrived at the gate entrance with a big smile, his brother drove back home in a burinake car to escape the gate and get the tools to slaughter.

The older brother was blinded by the money he would make to dismantle the monsters' bodies, so the man who had already come out before him disappeared in an instant.

Forgetting that the man had no weapon.

* * *

Sitting on the subway stairs, one in ten passersby comes out of the gate and waves his elongated hand on the road to get a taxi.

However, taxis marked as empty cars were too slow to overlook his molluscs while slowing down.

I stood there for a long time, but there was no taxi to stop. The man sighs deeply and eventually stops the taxi from passing by.

Luckily, the taxi driver pressed the brake on the spot where he was watching the beggar.

“Hey, you crazy son of a bitch, are you crazy? ”

I spit it out as I got out of the car, but as soon as the muscles crouched under the man's shabby clothes caught my eye, I immediately turned around flabby and quickly.

“You don't have to rush me! Keep your eyes open! ”

I got into the car quickly, not scared, but the man already grabbed the handle of the passenger door.

The knight locks the door quickly, but the man pulls on the handle.

“Open the door. ”

“Ah…. Yo, I'm sorry I insulted you. ”

I quickly switched sides and apologized, but the man had no intention of placing the handle.

“I don't have any money, but I do have some horses. ”

“You're a hunter?”

I lowered my window slightly because the taxi driver said it was a stall.

“I'll give you a stall, and I'll take you to the Gwana Tooth Bureau. ”

“Phew, even the lowest level of stone is possible in Busan. I'll take you like a bullet.”

The man took out an intermediate stall on the taxi driver's horse, put it back in his pocket, and took out the lowest stall to show him.

As soon as I saw the horse, the taxi driver quickly opened the door, and as soon as the man rode in, I started walking on Axel.

After being outside the gate for a long time, I felt like I was losing my sense of money, so I didn't know how much cab fare I would make, but I'm glad the driver was able to tell me the best story on his own.

I ate most of the cobblestones while I was beyond the gate, but I was lucky that the lower intermediate ones didn't have much effect on them, so I kept some for food instead.

When the taxi driver saw the stall, he drove like an acronym, and in half an hour he came to the Guangxi office.

“I'll get off here. ”

The man gets off when the signal hits. I handed the Knight the Supreme Stone.

“Oh, thank you. Take care of yourself, Hunter. ”

I never acted as a hunter, but I did my best not to deny it. I lightly said hello and got out of the cab.

I tried to remember and visit the house, but the road that had changed so much as before was only strange.

In November, I stumbled through my memories, walking barefoot on the cold road floor without any hesitation. I walked into the house and stood in front of a house.

I finally felt compensated for my suffering with such an unbelievable commitment as' I may come back someday. '

I put my hand under the planter in front of my house, and there was a cold key block, just like 20 years ago.

You feel like tears are turning, but you squeeze your eyes together, put the key in the keyhole, and then push through the door.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

With the sound of the door opening, the gate opens with the sound of rusted hinges everywhere.

The man breathes deeply, keeping the door open, and pushes his right foot forward and over the gate.

As I approached the front door of the first floor beyond the gate, I felt popular in the house.

“Hey, honey. ”

I heard a voice coming through the front door, and tears echoed through my eyes.

You stand on the ledge, choking, speechless. An young man slowly approached me, who found him in the living room beyond the opaque front door.

“What are you doing, Democratic Dad? This guy's gonna have to open the door for us to get in. ”

The woman who opened the door was an old woman in her 60s who deserved to be called a grandmother.

The woman opens the door wide and looks at the man's face and stiffens.

The man can't speak for a long time, but he spits out the words that hang in his mouth with only tears.

“Mother. ”
