SSS-Class Suicide Hunter
56. (1) >
1.
There was silence in the Great Library.
The weak hunters were disgusted. The strong-willed hunters carefully pondered the quest in front of their eyes.
Only one constellation.
“Ah."
Only the librarian opened his mouth, shrugging out a 5m sleeve.
“Clean up your own vomit. Isn't that basic manners? Only when all of you work hard can the library be kept clean. ”
Pair!
The librarian claps his hands lightly. Behind the West. Out of the dark corners comes the unknown. I didn't think I'd look human at all because my arms and legs were running....
The witch narrows her eyes.
“… bookmarks? ”
Those unknown bodies were bookmarked.
In the middle of the bookmark were even strange drawings. Maid's clothing? Anyway, the old maids' outfits are engraved with pictures.
“Oh, I got it right. Bookmark Makers!”
The librarian puts his hands on Atham's waist.
“We'll keep you company until you clear the 30th floor. ”
The bookmarks on the maid's portrait bowed.
“If you want to eat or go to the bathroom, tell your bookmark makers. Even though they look like that, they're pretty good. ”
“It's a monster... right? First?”
The librarian covered it with sleeves.
The eyes of the constellation grin.
“You can count on it. ”
The Librarian's eyes smile, but not his voice. Hunters flinch. This is the first time the voice of a constantly bright constellation has cooled down.
“You'll need to be careful while you stay here. ”
The librarian said:
“Number one. Never touch a book without the permission of the chapter. Just don't touch me. These are all the books I've been sweating and collecting. These are the only visions in the universe. Those bastards who touch books without asking their owner for a handout... ”
“Fuck.”
At that time, a hunter spits out insults.
“That's funny. After all, you're the boss monster! ”
“… Hmm. ”
“Hey! Grab your weapons! Quest and naval. If we kill him, we'll clear 30 floors. What the fuck is the script? If 300 people attack at once, we can hit them! ”
The people were drunk.
The Librarian did not stop the provoker. I just smile and watch. Seeing the silence of the constellation, Hunter became even more vigorous.
“We can beat that kid, too! Even the little blue boy broke the 20th floor by himself. ”
"........"
You're dragging me in here.
“Why can't it be us? Aww!?"
The provoker points at me, and a lot of people look over here. People were different races. The color of the eyes was also very different. However, the colors of the emotions with the eyes were the same.
Envy. Jealousy. Greed.
It was a feeling too familiar.
“You're out! No, all five guilds stay back! ”
Hunter is not only against me, but against witches and swords. I even shouted at the Inquisitors, the Earls, and the Grand Guild Leaders.
“Since the 11th floor, I didn't like the fact that you guys were monopolizing each other. Huh? You guys are the only ones representing the tower. What a new hero to pull a kid from somewhere and manipulate him. Don't you know you're playing tricks on me? ”
The witch flinches.
“Who are you talking to...! ”
Cough.
I grabbed the witch's wrist.
“Be patient.”
“No, the Four Kings. If we leave those kids alone.... ”
“Just bear with it for now. ”
I whispered in her ear.
“Now this. It's all being broadcast live. ”
The witch blinks.
“Live? What are you talking about? ”
“It's a hologram of Babylon Square. ”
"......."
In the past, I didn't get a nickname, so I couldn't even set foot on the 21st floor. Nevertheless, I know all the details of how the stage goes, what the quest is, and how it all goes.
“It's like a television show. The people in the square are watching everything we do. in real time.”
“Why did you do that...? ”
“That constellation said, We're like characters. ”
I said quietly.
“Of course, there are readers watching characters. ”
Yes, it is.
I've seen it in the square in the past. I watched. Though I did not participate in the raid... I watched the entire process of how hunters with tinnitus cleared floors 21 through 30.
‘There should still be holograms floating in the square. ’
Everyone here is being broadcast live.
What are we reciting and what are we doing?
Hundreds of thousands of readers see it all alive.
In a true sense, we were on stage.
“Don't be alarmed that you can't see. Black Dragon Juice.”
“If you say strange things here or show bad images, you'll be remembered by others for the rest of your life. ”
The guild leader immediately understood.
How scary that must have been.
“… indeed. It doesn't matter whether you clear this stage or not. ”
I nodded.
“Yes. The most important thing is to clear the 'how'. ”
Don't do anything that might catch the book later. People, no. Readers must either really feel like the heroes in the book or play and digest the roles themselves.
“We're already in a piece called the Great Library. ”
It was that moment.
After the quest was launched, you heard the notification you needed to hear.
Not the voice of a witch, not the voice of a librarian, but of a tower.
[Welcome, king.]
I smiled in my heart.
[20 Floor Clear Rewards!]
Yesterday I saved the Aikim Empire and the continent.
The time has come to receive it.
2.
The tower is harsh on the takers.
However, there is a high price for the entrepreneur.
[Normal stage reward.]
Blessings, the blessing of superstition!]
[You can observe the likeness of characters from the 21st floor to the 30th floor.]
The reward does not end here.
There is still a price left to complete Hidden Quest.
[Hidden Stage Reward.]
Blessings and blessings be upon you!]
[You can observe the psychology of characters from the 21st to 30th floors.]
All right!
It was an unmatched privilege.
No matter how well you perform in this quest.
These are the perks I need right now! ’
If I wanted to play a role, I didn't have to do it just because I was good at it myself. Other people than me. I had to see through the mindset of the other characters.
Acting is always teamwork, not solo play.
‘Talent Window.’
Before working on the quest in earnest, I checked my status.

‘Okay.’
I glanced back at the witch. Then I realized I was still holding the witch's wrist. As naturally as possible, I recited a roughly plausible command in my mind.
‘Portrait window.’
Glug!
A hologram appeared before my eyes.
And I witnessed a new state window in my life.

+
Uh, yeah.
When I was embarrassed and lost my words, the witch's expression hardened. I guess I was nervous about what was wrong with me.
“Come on. What's going on?”
“Uh, no, it's nothing. ”
“... I'm glad to hear that. If there's anything else I need to know, just let me know. I'm still working on the countermeasures in my head. ”
“Yes, Yeeph. ”
The witch turns her head and thinks again.
With very serious eyes.
Looking at the side face of such a witch, I felt a sort of emotion.
What is it?
What is this uncertain guilt?
‘It feels like I've been sneaking around someone else's diary...' ’
- Puhahaha!
The messenger who shared the ritual with me has already been turned upside down.
I kicked the air out of my feet.
- A ship, a prince on a white horse! Prince Charming...! Hic! A man who eats at an old age and keeps his face full with elixir, at that age, Prince Charming! Joe, zombie! Get me a nice horse and ride it somewhere! Because you're a warrior! If you crown a warrior, you'll be a prince. Wow, you're a natural!
"......."
I stared at the messenger.
What's with the eyes? Do I look like I'm flirting?
I muttered in my heart badly.
‘... portrait window. ’
- Huh? Hey, zombie Kim! What are you doing? Hey, man!
The messenger waves his hand in shock.
But waving my hands couldn't stop the command.
It was a fierce reflection of the beholder's portrait in my eyes.

"Puhu!"
I burst into my heart.
I almost broke my face.
"Oh, mother. Mr. Sword, I didn't see it that way, but you can't be a mama's boy...
- I'll kill you!
The messenger opened his eyes. I didn't just glow, but glow at all. I've made my move. I've been waving my arms and legs around in a commotion.
- I'll fucking kill you! Forget it! Wipe it out of your brain, bird! If you don't erase it right now, I'm gonna blow your fucking head off! I'm gonna kill you! You're breaking up, man!?
It's been a long time since I met the messenger, but I've never seen him so embarrassed. The more disadvantaged you are, the louder it gets. Unlike the messenger, I was completely relaxed.
Don't talk to me till the 30th floor. Keep your head down. Otherwise, I'll put up your psych eval at every turn. ’
- Profit...!
The messenger growls. His nose is swollen. But no matter how badly you snore, what can you do? The messenger couldn't hit me, couldn't stop my powers.
- You'll get your ass kicked!
"Haha."
I wasn't afraid of you.
As I tried out the new perks, the hunters became increasingly divided into two forces.
One party wants to follow the provoker and defeat the [Boss Monster] together. The other side was cautious, including me and the witches, to watch the situation for a while.
There are about 100 of them.
The cautionary faction was about 200.
“Fool.”
The swordsman who kept silence in the meadow opened his mouth.
The old prosecutor stared at the violent waves as if they were pathetic.
“Have you already forgotten that those constellations just showed us the annihilating worlds? That constellation could throw us into a world like that, if it wanted to, and then slip out of it. And yet you wager a war. You're crazy.”
“I won't stop you if you're trying to commit suicide. ”
One word from the Swordsman led to half of the insurgency.
There are about 50 Hunters left in the uprising.
“Hey! Don't be afraid! ”
The first one who incited the hunters screams.
“The Four Kings alone broke the 10th floor! The 20th floor was solo! All boss monsters are like that, but only for the benefit of the guilds. If you're going to be waving your tail at five guilds for the rest of your life, get lost! ”
That protagonist, too, seems to be quite a ranking hunter.
Seeing as how 50 people are still being seduced by Hunter.
‘Maybe not a giant guild, but a pretty sturdy mid-sized guild leader. ’
But crucially, I couldn't remember the face or the name of that propagator. Salt, Alchemist, Witch, Sword, etc. I'm the one who always remembered and was grateful to the top rankers.
If that's not what I remember.
“Hmm-.”
There's a reason for everything.
- Are we done with the traffic? ”
The Librarian looks down at 50 overpowered hunters.
Hundreds of books revolve around the library, just like the planets revolving around the sun.
“Yes, boss, you monster! Fifty is enough for a kid like you...! ”
“I'm sorry. Clyze isn't much of a fan. ”
Tak.
The Librarian has a book.
The title [Sealed World Epic] was written on the cover.
“I'll just get it over with. ”
Paaaaaaaah!
The book opens, and a white glow erupts. But this time, the light didn't stop shining. Bushy arms. Lots of tentacles.
You have struck down an aggressive hunter.
Hunters scream.
“What, what!? ”
“Only one wizard survived the annihilation of mankind in this vision. ”
One, two. Three.
The vigilante hunters are caught by the monster's tentacles and dragged into the air.
“Well, a wizard who's become more of a tentacle monster than a human being through adversity. The main character is a very affectionate character. It's my favorite number nine. ”
“Gaaaaaah!”
The hunter, who was dragged into the air, was soon swallowed up into a book.
“Sa, help me! ”
Luckily, the hunters who dodged the tentacles began to flee, but it was of no use. Zec! Ten times as many tentacles have come out of the book. Some have wrists, some have waists, and some have tentacles.
“This wizard. That's why Sealing Magic is the most affectionate part of the throne. The relationship between the guest and the owner? Sometimes in return for handing over [ingredients], the Wizard is willing to accept my quest. ”
In an instant, 50 Hunters were devoured by the book.
The librarian smiles.
“Like now. ”
Tuck.
Tuck, tutu. Chubby Chubby.
The book that swallowed the hunters began to vomit something.
Explosion and vomiting.
We killed our breath and watched the scene unfold before our eyes. You can't see it here... but perhaps hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Babylon Square killed their breath just like we did.
“By the way."
What the book vomited was a huge bookmark.
Big as a man's height.
Bookmarks with arms and legs.
“A wizard's hobby is to dress his creations in makeup. ”
In the middle of the bookmark, there was a maid's clothing.
“A little pervert. ”
"......."
“What can I say? All humanity has perished except themselves. It's even weirder if you stay sane. ”
Hunters look around in horror.
Fifty bookmarks made stood speechless.
If you look at the library a little bit wider, it's hundreds, not 50. Thousands of bookmarks were working with mops and dishes.
"......."
Hunters are silent.
Just by counting the things that come into view.
The Great Library was spread across the horizon.
If you go through the entire library, how many bookmarks are there?
“Hmm. You're clean! The useless extras have been cleared. ”
Tak!
The librarian closes the book.
“Do you like being a protagonist now? ”
