SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

1.

Black Dragon.

A guild that has reigned on top ever since the day the tower was opened in this world.

We didn't miss the 10th floor because we weren't good enough.

Rank 2nd Hunter leading the Black Dragon. The Black Witch challenged the 10th floor dozens of times. I failed every time I tried. The hunter in second place has been defeated, but has returned home alive to all of the hunters involved in the raid.

In an interview, the Black Witch said.

I just wasn't very lucky.

The salt agent, on the other hand, broke through the 10th floor by himself and declared it.

"Luck is good, you steamed bastards.

It was an interview later called the steaming declaration.

In a sleepy group, black dragons began to antagonize salts, but it was no longer important. I died at the hands of a master anyway. The possibility of an interview like that is gone.

The problem is this.

Why did the other hunters fail and attack the 10th floor of the salt? ’

‘Cause the salts are overwhelming? ’

Or...

‘Cause there's another reason? ’

The answer is now open before my eyes.

2.

[Open Boss Stage.]

At the same time as the voice rang, the landscape of the mansion changed.

Bloop!

Candles fell all over the place. A spark rises from the fallen ground. Maybe it was oiled in advance. The fire swallowed the western mansion in an instant.

- Carr!

Only the dolls were fine in the blazing fire.

We're running away!

- Let's run, let's run! Let's get out of here!

Hundreds of sieves. No, like thousands of sieves. There were so many dolls in the lobby on the first floor. Maybe the entire mansion has tens of thousands of sieves hidden away.

‘One of these. ’

Gulp. I swallowed a saliva.

‘There is only one [real doll] hidden somewhere in the mansion. ’

Chance of tens of thousands!

This is why the strike team has failed so far.

‘While I find out where the real doll is, they all burn to death. If you want to escape before you die, you have at most 10 minutes to explore. ’

The flames burning in the mansion were no ordinary flame. Hwama. Up Fire. It was embodied in the form of a flame, called the Inferno.

That is.

‘This huge mansion is on fire. ’

Ordinary boss monsters!

So far, the raid party either burned to death or escaped before it died, or met the end of both. Some hunters risked their lives to challenge the odds of one-in-tens of thousands, but they were wasted. I was just burned screaming horribly.

An impregnable hell.

And here's why · · · only salt salt cleared the 10th floor.

“Lucky bastard. ”

I muttered.

Yes. The salt was the same in shape as the boss monster.

To the other hunters, this house is a living hell. But he was as comfortable as his own room. The work of the 10th floor boss monsters was at the same time an aphrodisiac.

“Tsk.”

In a word, I was right.

‘You've been wandering around until you found a real doll. ’

You said you were lucky and you pretended to be the best.

I didn't like him either.

- You're a zombie hunter who lives by his luck.

“What do I eat for a living? ”

I frowned my eyebrows at the flinching of the messenger.

“I'm still struggling with the error. ”

Sweat blobs flowed between the eyebrows. The heat is intense! Your whole body is soaked in an incomparably hot fire compared to a sauna. If the error had not been wrapped around him, he would have been burned to death.

- Yeah, well, that's a one-minute limit.

Yalmobi, the traitor pinched my condition precisely.

- For the record, Grandma Marcus can last 30 minutes. You want to tell me why your grandfather hasn't challenged you yet? To build up your skills until you increase your 30 minutes to an hour.

“· · · Ah, yes. Thank you for confirming the difference between swordsmanship and my skills. ”

- Chuckle.

The villa lobby was set ablaze. At the bottom, the dolls grin and the ghosts giggle. What a haunted house.

What are you going to do now that you only have two coins?

“What can I do? You have to die first. ”

If you die here, your errand will grow suddenly?

The messenger laughs.

- There's only two ways to clear this place! Luckily, you can find a real doll. Or you can use your error wonderfully well enough to withstand the flames until you find the real doll. But you're stupid enough to bet two coins on yourself, right? I don't think so, maybe.

“Huh-huh.”

Sweating, I didn't lose my smile.

“She only knows one, she doesn't know two. No, you don't know the three of us. ”

- I'm sorry?

“Let's see who wins, then die. ”

Now 20 seconds before the error runs out.

I approached the doll closest to me. There was no reason. I was bored to death standing still. Maybe I was really lucky that the doll in front of me [was real].

- Are you gonna play with us?

Interest.

The doll's neck turned. I just went back to my neck. It wasn't strange to be thrown into a horror movie right away. The doll was wearing a frilly dress, and the fire didn't burn any teeth or teeth.

Like you're immune to fire.

“I got you.”

I put my hands on the doll's head and said,

- Glug.

A smile flowed from the doll's expressionless mouth.

It's not me!

It wasn't just a smile that flowed from the doll's mouth. Lips. Skin. The puppet's eyes flush like a candlestick. The flame swallows the doll at once, and while it is being swallowed, the doll mutters like a broken record machine.

- It's not me! It wasn't me!

- No, I'm not. Me · · · Me · · · Not · · Me · · ·.

- I'm not.

All of it melted down.

“Wow · · ·. ”

I've lost my words. My whole body was hot, but my back was slightly cooler. It was more horrifying than I had ever imagined.

“That's creepy. Why did he have to make the boss stage feel so bad? ”

- Who knows what the tower's holy will is? Zombies. It means giving a loser like you a dog's skill to the tower. Maybe if you had a personality in the tower, you'd be a pervert psychopath.

“Even if you really say it · · · · ·. ”

I couldn't complain any more.

“Ugh!? ”

We are running out of error.

The flame blazes as if it had waited only for this moment. Lace! The sole of your shoe melted first. Next, the sleeves on my clothes, and the sparks in my hair.

“Ah,”

From head to toe.

“Ahhhh! Ahhhh! ”

My whole body is on fire. My flesh is melting. The fire didn't stop when the skin started to flow. Rather, I cling to it more aggressively as if there were more delicious prey hidden in my flesh. Nerve. Bone. Throat, innards.

“Ooh, chew! Ugh, ugh! ”

- And you're a pervert beyond the tower. Khh. No matter how much I want to be the best hunter in the world, I can't stand the idea of being burned to death. I admit it, zombie Kim! You're a pervert!

I want to die.

Come on, I want to die in a second!

“Ugh · ·! ”

I couldn't hear a voice. The sound eats away. Eyes and ears are burned.

The moment I felt like I was about to burst because my head was overheated, I finally heard a voice waiting for me in my consciousness.

[You're dead.]

Damn it.

I'll kill you a little sooner.

•

- Puaha!

I dived deep into the water and breathed like a man barely out of the water. Of course, it wasn't really breathing, it was just a feeling of exhaling.

This is a place of fame. My naked body was like a ghost walking around in the dark.

[Skill conditions are achieved due to death.]

[Randomly copy Monster Hellfire Maiden's skill.]

And it was also a place of opportunity for me.

[Forms a skill card.]

The cards came to mind in the dark air. Surprisingly? Even as a boss monster, there was only one golden card. The rest of the cards glowed silver and shit.

"Here. Promise, you didn't forget? ’

- I know, asshole. You don't seem like a man to break a promise I made to you. Don't worry about it.

The messenger smiles.

- Let's see, what kind of skills does Miss Yo have?

The messenger flies to the other side of the cards.

Trying to tell me the details of the skills as promised.

Hey, this is awesome.

The messenger read the golden card first.

+

[Hellfire Closing]

Rank: S-

Effect: Grudge. Principles. Complaints. Your unresolved voice, your unreachable voice, your unrequited wish. Burn them all. "Hot." Hot? Make the world a pile. ‘I'm going to die.’ Kill. If you wish, there will be a hell of an error within a two-kilometer radius. '

No one is getting out of this hell without your permission.

Anyone.

However, you must also be in the conclusion.

+

It was a terrifying skill.

- It's unconditional. Zombie, shut up and film this skill.

‘ · · · · · ·. ’

Hey, zombie Kim. Why aren't you answering?

‘No, just. ’

I frowned.

‘I don't know why, but I'm a little bit offended. ’

What is it?

Incredible skill hit. But something caught my mind. I felt frustrated as if I was pretending to eat. I feel like the water main is broken and I don't know exactly where it is broken.

‘· · By the way, read the following skills. ’

I can't think of a better skill than this. Why don't you just pick one of these?

‘I have a different skill set. Come on, come on! ’

- Slurp.

The messenger frowned, but he recited the cards according to me.

- Come on, listen. [Labyrinth Design] Class A-, [Puppetry Manipulation] Class B, [Remote Control] Class B-, [Trap Installation] Class C · ·.

Stop.

- · · · · · ·.

The messenger reads the card vigorously and stops. The final skill. The back of the Pokémon's eyes falter in front of a silver flashing card.

- Fuck?

I smiled.

‘Of course. ’

- No, wait.

‘Okay, I get it. You don't even have to read it to me. ’

I was sure.

That's the card I want.

[Please select a skill card.]

The cards started flying in the air. It was fast, but it was difficult to confuse me from the start, who had only looked at one card.

- Hey, Confucius! Hey! Let's not do this.

I shouted hard to see if he knew.

Wow, a golden card! Wow, Class S Skill! Awesome! If you get this, you'll end up in hell every time you want. How cool is that?

‘I don't know. ’

- You don't know that! If I were a woman, I'd fall in love with Kim Gong-ja, your infernal charm! Gazua! Starting today, Gazua Kim is the top star of his life!

I laughed bloody.

‘You should have felt weird from the start. ’

There was a clue.

‘There is only one of the tens of thousands of sieves' dolls. The real doll is a skilled craftsman, so of course it won't be harmed by the fire. ’

I reached out.

But why are all the fake dolls still alive in the fire? ’

Then I snatched the silver card.

- Aah! No! Fuck, no!

‘There's only one right answer. Mr. Sword.’

I flipped the silver card.

+

Sleep or wake up.

Rank: A

Effect: Oh, it's hot! If I leave something this hot, my house will burn down. But rest assured. Your creatures and objects will become immune to fire, and will no longer burn. Free yourself from the horrors of Hwama and have a safe life!

Increases damage from water and ice attributes by 300%.

+

Yes, it is.

Stage 10. Hide-and-seek in the House of Hell.

The boss here didn't just have the ability to [burn].

Aja!

On the contrary, it has something [the ability to keep things from burning].

I clenched my fist and got caught up in the jealousy of victory.

I've seen it! I got you! ’

- No · · · No, ugh. Not this · · · not this really · · · ·.

Behind the scenes, Mental collapses.

‘No, it's not. Now, I'm done using this skill to immunize myself with flames. You just need to relax and find out where the real doll is. It's game over, you should call me Confucius from today on! ’

- This is a scam. Mangemia · · ·.

"Hahahaha! Let's call him the Prince!" ’

My laughter spread in the dark.

My voice rang quietly as well, not mine.

[Selected. Copy the skill.]

[Returns to 24 hours ago.]

A blister to show that my side won the bet for both of us.

Now we can go back to the day before and challenge the same 10-story boss.

I think I've got clearance right in front of me.

[Your current Hunter rank is Class E.]

But today was not the end of this.

[Skill penalties apply.]

- Huh?

‘Oh, right. ’

Notifications that have not been heard so far as to continue to remain a Class F end.

But now that I've grown into an E rank hunter, the first penalty of my life has come to me.

What are the penalties?

[Reproduce the trauma of the enemy that killed you.]

[Penalty depth is approx.] It is the province of Hell.]

Trauma? ’

I tilted my head in the appearance of unexpected words.

‘What does it mean to reproduce an enemy's trauma? · · · ’

Aaaaah!

Even before I finished talking, the space in front of my eyes was white.
