SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

3.

It's been a week.

- Gor · · ·.

The monster whines as the pot boils. A giant Goblin. The beast on the fifth floor of the hunting ground collapsed with its jugular.

I looked down at the corpse of the giant Goblin with a splenic face.

“Gor.”

In the past week, the monsters in front of me have been the most powerful. Oh, how many times have I died trying to catch this monster? I am a great Goblin with the heart of leaving a rival as one honorable warrior.

- Fuck you, you crazy zombie.

“Oh, come on. You've only hunted for six coins. Couldn't we just let it sink in? ”

For the record, 6 coins means I risked my life 6 times. Now it's the sixth coin, so in the meantime, I've been killed 5 times while catching the Great Goblin.

The messenger snorts.

- If you're impressed that you caught a monster, that's crazy. All I'm saying is facts.

“Wow, you're right. My swordsman has a good personality. ”

I already know of free conversation with the messenger, but I have become accustomed to error. The effect of the elixir was still slowing down time.

I'm just saying 'much faster’ than usual because I focus my error on my tongue.

“Glug.”

I won with a rock, not a frontal battle.

I pulled out a piece of shit card and checked.

+

[Goblin Upper Society]

Rank: F

Effect: The Great Goblin thought about it. ‘Our Goblin culture is too low. All languages end in "Glug, glug," huh? This is no way to glorify the majesty of the throne!’ At that time. The Great Goblin's genius flashed. "Yes! From now on, we will say that the throne is Goglug, not Ket." Glug! That's a proper tone for the royal sentiment of the throne. ’

However, the conflict within the tribe escalates.

A skill copied from a Monster Master Goblin.

+

I kicked my tongue.

“Even the Goblins are concerned about the lack of trouble. Glug or glug, that's what it is. ”

- So you're a Goblin.Humans are no different.

“Yes?”

- Well, soliloquy.

As soon as I asked what it meant, a voice rang in my head.

[Your existence becomes more apparent.]

I've never heard that before.

But I knew what this meant. Hundreds of hunters testified in interviews and even showed them in private videos.

“D, finally! ”

Level Up Now!

[Level of Hunter Kim is growing.]

“Ahh · · ·. ”

My whole life, I've been an F rank hunter. He was anxious that he might live like that in the future. However, after gaining replication skills and regression skills, I was able to leapfrog a lot of pain and finally have a level-up moment.

[Skill slots expand!]

[Your Hunter rank is now Class E!]

even though it was only Class E.

[Good luck to you.]

Bloop!

A red error surged from beneath my feet. A flame. Or simply like a red stream, it enveloped my body once. Then it flowed back down and disappeared.

- · · Is it · Flame?

The messenger narrows his gaze in front of him.

- No. Blood? Heh. I'm confused. It's like sparks or blood.

“That was the level-up effect, wasn't it? ”

- It's not just to look good.

The messenger scratches his back.

- It's a clue.

“A hint?”

- Well, the effect of leveling up determines [form of error]. Like the goat you killed. He must have been a form of self-error.

“Flame.”

I remembered. Saw salts burning a holy woman in an alley somewhere. It was a bad memory I don't want to think about again · ·. It must have handled the error in the form of a flame that is definitely playing with water.

- What form the error appears in is usually determined by Hunter's trauma.

Trauma.

- Serious enough to determine his life. Scenes. Memories. It appears in the form of an error. It's called unconsciousness. Well, it doesn't have to be a negative trauma. Mostly.

“Indeed.”

- Zombie to me, you're fire or blood.

After hearing the story, I was a little curious.

“Then, what form of · · · sword error? ”

- Moonlight.

He said as if he had been thrown by the messenger.

- Grandpa Marcus got lost in the mountains as a child. I climbed to the top of Bavaduk Mountain because I didn't want to die, but the leaves that cover the night sky became less and less common as I got closer to the top. When I finally got to the top of the mountain, the dark night sky spread bright.

Moonlight.

- He thought about it. That moon, it doesn't shine by itself, it just accepts the light of the sun, and it can be beautiful enough just to accept it. Ah, I want to shine by accepting it like the moonlight.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

- She said it was so impressive that she kept it in her mind her whole life.

I listened and lost my mind.

“You said you were a kid. ”

He was 12 years old.

“What 12-year-old kid thinks so deeply? ”

The messenger nods.

- So Grandpa Marcus is a born snitch. Tsk, tsk, tsk. I was 12 when I figured out how to efficiently hand over the thugs in front of me.

“No, that's not normal either. ”

If the swordsman is an old man, what's the man behind it? Born a puppy?

- Anyway, I'm used to the fifth floor. Let's go up to the sixth floor hunting ground.

“Oh, about that. ”

I told you.

“Can't we just attack the boss on the 10th floor? ”

- I'm sorry?

“I knew I could replicate monster skills. The error has become somewhat familiar. I think I can get enough bosses on the 10th floor. ”

The messenger shuts up for a moment.

I could not help but look at myself.

- Gong-ju, aren't you already getting cocky?

“Absolutely not. ”

I answered decisively.

10th floor!

In our world, we haven't hit the 10th floor in years. It was a place called Immortality. Having said that I would Dare to clear such a difficult area, I had enough to be concerned about.

“I'm really confident. ”

But I was really confident to attack.

No, I was sure.

“If I can't catch the 10th floor boss in two coins, I'll call you a teacher. ”

Two coins?

Suddenly, the messenger looks harsh.

- A guy who took six coins to kill a Goblin boss would kill a 10-story boss for two coins? Really? You don't seem to know. I never let you off the hook.

“However! I have a condition. ”

- Yeah?

I lifted the index finger.

“Don't hide the skills of the 10-story boss from me, tell me everything. This is not a lie. It's also forbidden to cheat cards. ”

- Hmm. Something like that.

“And!”

I smiled.

“If I win, call me Confucius. With the utmost respect, courtesy and courtesy. ”

- · · · · · ·.

“Why, Chef? You can quit if you're scared. ”

Cripple.

If you pick one thing you don't want to hear, it's, "Are you scared? ’It will be. And the man behind it was not an ordinary cunt. It was the most powerful puppet in the world, targeted to the 99th floor.

His facial muscles twitched.

-Kaak, shh! You mock the Swordsman of the underworld with no manners because this Thunder Nude has some deception skills? Oh, good. Let's make a bet!

“Cole.”

You will not attack the 10th floor boss, and you will call me teacher for the rest of your life. Ah! You can't even die, so we'll just have to live with the teacher's voice forever.

“Do you have delusional skills? Hurry up and get ready for the Prince. ”

- Huh-huh-huh.

“Heheh heh.”

We stared at each other and smiled maliciously.

Hunters who were hunting Goblins from afar chatted.

“Hey. He's been muttering to himself ever since. ”

“Now you're laughing all by yourself. Is he mentally ill? ”

“Shh! Look this way. Pretend you don't know, pretend you don't know. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

· · · I need to talk to myself a little less.

I quietly shut up and headed to the tenth floor.

4.

In front of the boss' room on the tenth floor, a janitor stands unlike any other hunting ground.

The person dispatched from Hunter administration listened to me and frowned.

“You want to challenge the boss on your own? ”

“Yes.”

The caretaker's face said, "Who is this madman? It took less than two seconds to change to ’.

“Hey, I don't know if you saw the news last time · · ·. Only 30 Elite Members in the Black Dragon Guild. You have a raid party with up to 4 top rankers and failed. Solo hunting is suicide. ”

“What do you think? ”

I was beaten.

“It is the Bureau's policy to send Hunters who want to attack. ”

“That's right · · · ·. ”

The manager became embarrassed.

“Excuse me, I keep track of all Hunters coming and going here. The Bureau supervisor will look at the records later · · · So I'm not just the bad guy who let the near-death hunter in? I need you to look at this situation. ”

“Hmm."

I stroked my chin calmly.

The Bureau of Investigation? When we raided the towers in our world, we didn't raise these people!

Of course, that means I was the only one calm.

I've always hated the guild-making politicians. You're still praying on the 10th floor because you're wasting your heart on that! Hey, zombie Kim! Just beat the shit out of this guy and go to the boss' room.

‘No, why would you hit someone who didn't do anything wrong? ’

- You're blocking my way.

Human rights were like mosquitoes because they were psychopathic.

“Warden.”

I tucked my tongue in my heart and pulled out my pocket.

“You seem to be having a hard time. You're the caretaker. Challenging alone is just suicide. But · · · I really want to kill myself. ”

“Yes?”

“It's been so hard lately · · ·. ”

I smiled bitterly.

“My boyfriend died a year ago. Not long ago, he sentenced me to incurability in Alchemy. No matter how long I've lived for half a year, I can't stand half a year without a boyfriend. ”

“Ahh · · ·. ”

- I'm sorry?

The messenger made an impression.

- What the fuck is this zombie talking about?

I ignored it, and I whispered it to the caretaker in front of me.

“But I'm a hunter, even if I'm the end of it. I don't want to go to the Alchemy Department and end my life waiting to die today or tomorrow. I can't wait to challenge the monsters until the end, even if they die. ”

“Such a story · · · ·. ”

The caretaker slowly smiled as he listened to me. Why, when you hear someone else's unfortunate tragedy that has nothing to do with it, you have the look on their face that people say, "Ahh!" That!

“Here's the money I saved up to fight. ”

I gave the pocket of money to the custodian. You are heavy. You have a hundred gold in your pocket.

“It's useless now anyway and your · · · · manager has it. ”

“You can't have this kind of money! ”

“I just want to leave without leaving anything in the world. Guardian, please don't even note that I've been in and out of here. This is my Hunter's last request. ”

The caretaker's expression became heavy. Almost like a tear. Maybe there's a little bit of money in that weight.

“· · · Okay. Go. I didn't see anything. ”

- What the hell.

The messenger was absurd.

- Hey, you two making a movie? Where are you sneaking off to?

No matter what he said, the caretaker let me pass.

I broke up with the caretaker and took a step. Stone Street. The boss on the 10th floor lived in a mansion as spectacular as the old nobleman. You walk the stone path to the mansion.

‘The 10th floor was originally cleared with salt oil. ’

I stood at the door of the mansion.

You slowly push the door with both hands.

‘This time it's different. I · · · No · on behalf of salt. ’

Bait.

A trembling hinge opens the gates of the mansion.

"I'll write you a legend that's more spectacular than salt. ’

I took a step forward.

And so it began.

- Karr!

You hear laughter everywhere. At the same time, the gate I opened and entered closed. Kuang! Suddenly, the surroundings become darker, and even more terrifying laughter grows from the dark side.

The candles were lit one by one.

- Are you gonna play?

Here and there. The candles on the floor are lit, even though no one has touched them. Where the candle was lit, there was a doll. Puppets that little girls like to play with often.

- Are you gonna play with us?

The dolls opened their mouths.

The evergreen flower? Hide-and-seek?

- The ice is melting, the flowers are all torn. Let's play hide and seek!

Play with us! Play hide and seek!

- Carrr!

I got into position.

“Come, I'll play with you. ”

During the past week, my training errors have bloomed from my body.

The voice rang in my head as if I was waiting for such a reaction.

[You have entered the Boss Stage.]

[The challenger is Duke Hunter Kim. One person.]

[Good luck to you.]

A stage that has yet to be invaded by any human being.

The so-called "Hide-and-seek of the House of Hell" began.
