SSS-Class Suicide Hunter
18. Trauma Penalties. (3)
4.
[The target is Duke Hunter Kim. One person.]
[Clearing rewards measured · · · Measured.]
[Reward is awarded 24 hours later, entering the 11th floor.]
Clear the Boss Stage.
Achievements no one has yet accomplished. It was me, not someone else. I am not registered in the ranking and do not have a name yet.
If this gets out, things will turn upside down.
“Ha.”
But I didn't feel comfortable. Happiness and tears have taken over half the mind? I wandered through the ashes like a lonely poet.
- Hey, what's with the poop face? I heard you cleared Hidden Stage. I've never been one to target a Hidden Stage in my life. The reward will be fine.
“I don't know why you psychopaths make me sad. because I don't have a human heart. ”
- Well, now you're pooping, not chewing the poop.
“ · · · · · ·. ”
Amazing. The messenger's words have just washed away his grief. Yeah, well, it's impossible for me to get sentimental living with this lunatic.
“· · I just felt like the world was a little dog. ”
- Yeah?
“You just saw me on the boss stage. It doesn't make a difference what happens in our world or in this world or in dogs. ”
- Not really.
The messenger nods.
- That's where everyone lives.
We stood silent for a while. It was a silence that wasted time. The messenger looks at the ruins of the house with me. "Ugh!” I trembled.
- All right, all right. Phew. This doesn't suit me! Rather than that, you were amazing earlier!
“Yes?”
- Finding your own way to attack the boss. Awesome, I'll give you a compliment!
I frowned. I thought it was an honest compliment other than myself, but I was a little creeped out.
“· · · What kind of compliment is that to strangers? ”
- Dude, if I have something to compliment you on, compliment me. This time it's not luck. You've overcome it with your skills. My son is my partner, and we should be happy together when he does. Don't you think?
I narrowed my eyebrows even more.
“Suspicious · · ·? ”
- Aigoo, that's suspicious. Good job, Duke Kim! Cool, Kim! When the 11th floor opens like this, let's run straight ahead and eat first place! What if the others call it a scam? If they are unfair, they can eat their fraudulent skills!
The messenger smiles refreshingly. What is it? What's wrong with him all of a sudden? Not until the sun rises from the west tomorrow or the tower collapses.
It was then.
[Notify everyone.]
[Stage cleared today, 10th floor.]
Voices.
[Remind everyone again.]
I wasn't the only one who heard it.
His voice echoes as he fills the sky.
[Today.]
[The stage on the 10th floor has been cleared.]
A blister indicating a new era has begun.
[Twenty-four hours from now, the 11th floor stage will open.]
Pee Yoo Woong · · ·!
Something burst from the sky. It was fireworks. The purple flames were the first to burst, and the red, blue, yellow, dozens of colors and thousands of flames bloomed brightly ( ).
“Ahh · · ·. ”
I looked up at the sky dazed. The flames of the air did not fade away after they erupted. You move on your own, each flame twisting like a weapon, slowly forming.
[24: 00: 00]
It was in the form of a clock.
[23: 59: 59]
And the clock in the sky began to move.
“ · · · · · ·. ”
I looked up into the air alongside the messenger.
Suddenly, the messenger muttered.
- Here comes the script.
I nodded.
“I see.”
- I've seen the same fireworks show in my life.
“That's the second time I've seen it, too. But.”
I clenched my fist.
“But I used to be in a first-floor bar. He was a simple spectator, and he didn't know what was going on, so he was very particular. I ended up staying in a lifetime F class hunter. Shit. I was stupid to think about it. ”
- Chuckle.
The messenger smiles.
How does it feel to be promoted from extras to extras?
I didn't answer right away. I took out my smartphone instead.
to explore how communities related to the Hunter industry were responding.
What's with the fireworks?
- Fireworks on the first floor. Is this just the first floor?
- I'm a third-floor hunting ground, and this is a firework show.
It's different.
Daytime fireworks have turned the entire community into fire.
- Who just heard voices.
I heard you cleared the 10th floor. Is that true?
- You cleared the 10th Floor of the Black Dragon Guild?
- There was no announcement. What's going on?
Posts.
- The Bureau will announce the next attack in two weeks.
- Never a black dragon! Black Dragon executives are now on the first floor in a ranged cafe in front of the Babylon Bank. Attached photo of proof.
- Who cleared it?
More posts.
- [Breaking News] 10th floor clear!
- The completed guild is still unknown.
- [Breaking News] Black Dragon, no clear declaration.
Dozens of topics spilled every second. It wasn't just one place. The Hunter community was no different, and this fire soon spread to other communities.
Journalists operating in Babylon poured out a fearless string of breaking news, and the starlings burned the community back to the ground.
- If they're not black dragons, who are they?
- I was praying at the Manchurian temple when the Inquisitor suddenly saw the congregation. There's a commotion. The Apocalypse is not a party.
Sword!
- The Sword was cleared by itself. Backproofs.
- Oh, a sword can do that.
The fires that spread in the community started to burn separately. I pushed the Guild of the Pantheon somewhere. The swordsmanship was pointed elsewhere. Earl, Serpent, Paladin, etc. The names of all hunters who rule the top ranks have been discussed once.
But · · ·.
- What are you talking about?
- It's not validation, attach a photo of evidence.
- The Serpent is teaching the guild pupils in the stamp.
- What are you talking about?
- I work in the Paladin in Babylon Square.
The Swordsman said he didn't do it.
- Wait, that doesn't make any sense.
I can't reveal my real name or my real name, but I'm not.
- Why isn't there a guild declaring it complete?
- What the fuck?
Soon after the disastrous community burned apart, they gathered together.
One big question.
- Then who is it?
- No one knows who's cleared it now?
Who's the Hunter on the 10th floor?
- Who the hell?
•
Knock it off.
I turned off the smartphone screen.
And I've decided to answer the question that the messenger asked me before.
“How do you feel right now? ”
One day.
My mouth was smiling.
“That's pretty cool, to be honest. ”
It was the first feeling I had since I was born. But even if I didn't learn it from anyone, I could understand what it was like. Instinctively sure.
I felt like I was on top.
“I think I have the whole world. ”
- Right?
The messenger smiles.
- Of course, now it's just a mistake. You didn't have the whole world, you just raided 10 floors at the most. But it's not just a 100 percent misconception. You're closer to the top than anyone in your world right now.
“I know.”
I turned my eyes away.
“It's only a matter of getting to the top. ”
A stone staircase that must be passed to challenge the House of Hell. I can see one jumping up the stairs.
I was a deceitful caretaker, saying I was terminally ill.
“Huff-puff! Whoops. Hunter! ”
The caretaker is soaked in sweat. I felt like I was rushing. He stopped in front of me and gasped.
“Just · · · · that was it. Ho, did Hunter do this? ”
“I don't know what you're talking about. ”
“Poetry, clearing the 10th floor! ”
The janitor shouts.
“I'm in charge today · · · You're the only one who's challenged the 10th floor in a day, so · · · w, we're in a commotion. I keep calling the Bureau to ask what happened to me! ”
“Hmm."
I took a quick look at the caretaker. Whew. Whew. While talking to me, the manager's pants pockets were constantly shaking. Maybe the phone's ringing. As he pointed out, there is a commotion in the tower.
I smiled.
“What if you really did clear it? ”
“Yes?”
“I asked him what he would do if I really cleared the 10th floor. ”
“That's it · · · ·. ”
The manager looks embarrassed.
“I haven't been able to check Mr. Hunter's ID · · Still checking. ”
“Aye, caretaker. It's strange to say.I honestly don't think it was an unscheduled test. You won 100 gold from me. ”
“Well, that's · · · ·. ”
“You're really struggling with work. ”
Tuck.
I gently patted the caretaker on the shoulder. The caretaker looked at me with a deaf face. I passed him and went down the pedestrian stone steps.
I heard a desperate shout behind my back.
“Now, wait a minute! Hunter! I don't care if it's just a nickname! Please, just tell me your name and go! If not, I'll get beaten up by my superiors! ”
I answered without looking back.
“I have no nickname. ”
“ · · · · · ·. ”
“Well done. Oh, don't follow me. And then we're really going to run. ”
Luckily, the manager doesn't come after you. Even if I chased one, there was no problem. He was exhausted from climbing the stairs, so I was able to outrun him.
- Hey, look at his face. You look like you've seen a ghost.
The messenger looks back on his own and laughs.
- Well, that's the way it's supposed to go. You have to hide who you are and lead others to you. I don't need to teach you how to take care of myself.
“Sword man. ”
Why?
I stood in front of the transporter, installed at the entrance to the 10th floor.
“I realize that. ”
- Realize what?
“I suddenly realized why you complimented me. ”
When I booked the transfer to the first floor, I said:
“A bet.”
The messenger stops.
“I remember. You promised to call me Confucius if you broke the boss in two coins, right? Wow, what should I do? I broke through 10 floors in two real coins. My swordsman is in trouble. ”
- Hey, Gong-ju · · · We are still partners · · ·. That's a little harsh, isn't it?
The messenger wept and pleaded.
- Think about it, any partner is an equal relationship. You and I. Equal relationship. Let's challenge the conqueror to the 99th floor and the 100th floor in the future. Hey, partner! Dude! How cool and beautiful!
I smiled brightly.
“Never mind. Call me Confucius when you talk to me. ”
- · · · · · ·.
“Lifetime.”
It was the moment when the messenger's expression fell into despair.
