The Protagonists Are Murdered by Me

“Are you out of your mind?! ”

The (S) Hunter's waiting room on the 47th floor, the Velvet Guild's headquarters in Yeouido, was stormed. Because Oh Hyun-jung, the vice guild master, came in person and shouted. Some of the S-rank hunters who were there avoided their position while expressing that they had been trampled on.

However, only Lee Jun-seok remained and chewed potato chips consistently. The spicy potato chips that came out with the taste of red pepper paste look very delicious.

“Crazy bastard · · · ·. Do you have any idea how hard I've worked to win the team leader of the Crevice this time? ”

Oh Hyun-jung.

A retired hunter who Awakened a very rare psychic ability called Psychic Power, but was knocked out of the rank by his talents. But it was a woman who joined the Vice Guild Master of the Velvet Guild through politics and business. Her breath was significant within the guild.

“I think I can win that, without too much effort. ”

In fact, South Korea's Hunter Association branch also contacted Lee Jun-seok separately, 'Do you want to be the leader of the crack?’ He was one of the most powerful men in Korea, and he was‘ real 'enough to rank in the top 100 according to his achievements and strengths in the Hunter community.

But he refused to be team leader.

The reason is simply because you don't fit the position.

Joon-suk Lee is clearly strong and knows that he has to do the right thing. But because the superpower is the S rank, is the ability as a commander really the S rank?

That's not true.

Joon-suk Lee's superpower requires a tremendous concentration, so it's too much to fight alone. No, even listening to someone's orders is very costly in the yard.

Lead the way.

What he wanted was a capable, famous, and experienced hunter to take command. That's why Oh Hyun-jung sold the name of Lee Jun-seok and took the position of team leader.

“Is that what you call it? Who put you in that position? ”

“It was my effort to get up here. You just sold my name so hard. It's good to be famous. It made it easier for me to reach out to someone who was doing me a favor. ”

“This is ridiculous. What the hell is wrong with you? ”

“You're the one who said I didn't want to be the team leader. Why did you do that? ”

“Isn't that obvious? For you."

“Not for me, but for you. ”

He glanced at Oh Hyun-jung with cold eyes. Nowadays, it was inevitable that Hunters were ‘commoditized’. However, the Velvet Guild has crossed that line. Hunters hunt monsters, not circus monkeys with superpowers.

Thanks to the completion of Oh Hyun-jung's business, there are currently quite a few hunters in the Velvet Guild who are paying off their name, but that's it. If they fall on the "real battlefield," they will all die within days.

In other words, among the current S-rank Hunters in this guild, only Lee Jun-seok survived a constant battlefield battle before being able to go on the "real battlefield" of the crevice class.

You're giving your team to another hunter? I wanted to, but I couldn't, so Oh Hyun-jung also had to raise the most rebellious hand of Lee Jun-seok in the guild.

“· · · · · · · Yes. You're on your own. I don't know anymore. I'll report it to the Master.”

“Go ahead.”

Oh Hyun-jung slammed, and when he closed the door, Lee Jun-seok put down the potato chips.

It was a guild that had already fallen apart.

Even so, Bugilma has left the Guild Master's battlefield for five years. Even five years ago, she wanted to send dozens of Srank Hunters to TV for the event. This guild was not so suitable for Lee Jun-seok who had lived on the real battlefield.

I just... I don't have anywhere else to go, so I'm just gonna stay for a little while.

I'm stuck thinking like that, but someone knocks.

“Come in.”

It was Ahn Hee-jeong.

Lee Jun-seok personally thinks that he is a very rare Awakening Capability of the Flame System rank A, and a Hunter that will be big because he has a lot of ambition. She also met the wrong guild, but very wrong. Obviously, it's only a matter of time before Ahn Hee-jeong's reputation is greatly tarnished here.

However, her genius will be turned into a consumable of the circus, not a hunt.

She opened her mouth after staring at Lee Jun-seok for a long time.

“Sunbae.”

“Yes, tell me. ”

As she smiled softly and replied, Ahn Hee-jeong sighed. The cold, cold look I showed at the swordsmanship discussions the other day felt like a lie.

“I'm such an idiot. ”

“Well, I'm sorry you feel that way."

“No, Mistress Boogill. ”

“Huh?"

When Lee Jun-seok looked at Hee-jeong, she also opened her mouth with a determined expression.

“I always trust your judgment. ”

It · · · ·. It was just a feeling that Ahn Hee-jeong himself had.

‘Oh, I can make it up this line. ’

I want to be successful, I want to be famous, I want to be on top of people in the future.

A sense of ambition.

Let's be reasonable.

If you really want to succeed, you have to catch the line of guilds that are already in the ranks of the big companies. In fact, this guild was on its way and was already reaching out to the world.

However · · · · · · · ·. Somehow, I thought that Ahn Hee-jeong would have to catch Lee Jun-seok, the F rank hunter called 'The Chronicle'.

Honestly.

When I think rationally, it was still a line that didn't make sense.

Even though she acted as instinctively told her to, Ahn Hee-jung was still confused in her head. "What's wrong with me? Are you crazy? Just be safe like you are right now! 'is different from what I thought.

I was saying something like that.

“There are probably a lot of team members who oppose your opinions. I'll help you then. · · Honestly, I still can't trust Hunter at the F rank. But I trust you, Hunter. ”

“I see. ”

Lee Jun-seok stared at Ahn Hee-jeong for a long time. Then, he smiled.

“Hee-jeong.”

“Yes?”

“Thank you.”

At that, Ahn Hee-jung grumbled.

“I'm not asking you to like me." ”

*

Cheolwon in Gangwon Province, where the 'Great Rift’ was scheduled to appear, has already been perfectly prepared for it in the military for a week ago.

Since the emergence of the superpowers, the military system has shifted significantly, and most of the executives have been replaced by superpowers. Of course, the rank of superpower was not immediately representing the rank, but it was a natural order that the superpower of the rank was indispensable in order to advance to the higher rank.

For this reason, two teams were dispatched, 100 "National Anomalies", one from the Hunter Association, and nine from the individual guilds.

Although it was a rift in Korea, the competition to gain entry was intense, and the nine teams were made up of teams belonging to different guilds. There is no internal division due to the presence of other guilds in the team. A long time ago, we all knew that there were a few such things, and they were all destroyed.

‘That's odd.’

He slowly looked around at the 49 pairs of eyes that were looking at him. On the tablet in his hand was a representation of what ranks and careers some of the superpowers of which guild members have.

It would be better if the narrative were part of a guild and there were a few people who knew it. Seeing that there was no such dictionary information at all, it wasn't that much of a problem.

Hostile eyes shoot from all sides. It wasn't just the gaze within the team. The hostility of the other team.

“I heard the seventh team commander over there is an F rank. ”

“Can you believe it? ”

“This is a crevice. ”

“Tsk, tsk. You don't think you don't know all the F-rank hunters went into the Crevice and wiped it out in the past? Why did you make that decision?" ”

Seodam smiled bitterly. In fact, F-rank hunters have tried to suppress the crevice a few times, but most of them ended up failing. · · · There are reasons, but excuses are useless. The only thing that mattered was that it failed.

And...

Perhaps this situation was also expected from Joon-suk Lee.

People didn't believe that the Frank Hunter was a commander, but in the meantime, Frank Hunter's strategy and judgment is exposed? Even if they don't have superpowers, they're still alive! Joon-suk Lee wanted to tell the world.

That's why Lee Jun-seok and Ahn-hee-jung persuaded the seven teams.

“As a commander, he has the right judgment. Unlike me who has to concentrate on fighting like crazy · · · · ·"

“I want a commander who fights in front of me! ”

“Of course, such commanders are good, but they can move their allies more efficiently from the rear." ”

Seeing the two men and women desperately persuaded, Seodam smiled out of nowhere.

In fact, Seodam had no intention of flowing in the direction Lee Jun-seok wanted.

Are incapacitated judgments, tactics, and know-how still useful in this world?

What does that prove?

At best, I'll just get a job as a teacher and write textbooks.

‘Of course, that's important too. ’

But that's it. As long as it's useful, the F rank is still the F rank.

So, the sermon was intended to prove that the incapable can also be strengthened not by "superpower," but by "ability."

Superpowers and abilities. These two distinctions were apparent in this world, although in some ways they looked like pun intended.

A technique that mathematically makes humans superhuman by injecting ether, all of which are scientifically proven 'superpowers’.

A 'ability’ that occurs naturally and is still unknown to the cause and the identity of its abilities.

As 99.99% of the world's hunters were made up of superpowers, virtually nothing was revealed about them.

So, he intended to call his sword and magic "ability" and to make it for those who were not gifted with superpowers.

‘To do so · · · · · · · · · · ·. You're gonna have to work very hard. ’

You can't use your rank of D stats properly without the help of a Spirit or magic. In addition, in this battle, I thought that magic would not be revealed properly. If you want to stand out in this meeting of superpowers from a minimum of A to S rank with these terrible skills, you will have to fight desperately.

So.

Seodam opened his mouth for the first time to 49 team members who were waiting for him.

“Gentlemen."

“ · · · · · ·! ”

49 pairs of eyes pay attention.

“I intend to fight on the front lines. ”

“· · · · · · · Yes? ”

Commander Hunter has a duty to fight in front of him.

“Because I'm an F rank, I have no intention of abandoning that duty. ”

Rather, this was an opportunity. An opportunity to achieve more in front of others. Would you kick it out of your mind?

“I know the passage is useless. So, I'm going to show you in action in front of all of you. ”

After finishing his speech, he slowly looks back. In front of it was a huge, red crack that was torn, roughly 15 stories high, from the ground to the sky, evidently visible inside.

As one team and two teams entered the rift, Saddam moved forward. As the seven teams looked at each other, Lee Jun-seok and Ahn-hee-jeong couldn't help but chase after each other.

Anyway, he was the commander, and he wanted to fight in the front.

Seeing the whole team chasing after him, Seodam stepped inside the crack.

Whew!!

“ · · ·! ”

I close my eyes slightly in a violent storm and then open again.

It was a whole red world.

A red cliff was toppling the world. A red, bumpy land where something enormous has left a prank on the ground.

[Skill ‘Windy Running Method (A)' is activated.]

Though the storm was rough, it wasn't enough to shake and blow away. Moderately undisturbed to move.

‘Still, I'm glad you managed to survive. ’

Looking slowly at the inside of the crevice, the client talks.

< The world is part of the 'Honorable Monarch of the Fallen Red Giant'. >

"Destroyed," what? ’

< It means that the world has already been destroyed. >

Like before?

< Yes >

At first glance, it looked like something was destroyed.

< This is the ‘Red Storm Cliff’, a place where giants came to suffer before the destruction. >

Oh, how do you know that? ’

< Now that the skill 'protagonist' has reached level 3, even in the world of ruins, the plot can be found. >

‘Huh? Hey, then. ’

The Sermon looked at 12 massive red canyons. Each one of the great canyons that makes the Grand Canyon look like a backhill was meant to be a team.

‘· · · · · · · You can also see what's happening here? ’

< We don't know the details, but we do know the fragments. >

He clenched his fist tightly. Knowing and preparing for the coming disaster. The sermon knew very well how much it increased survival. He looks back at his team with a joyful look on his face.

“Gentlemen, from now on, Huh?”

Then the sermon could see the rest of the team. Each of them is curled up and holding on to something, which is quite amusing.

“· · What? ”

He asked.

I asked again, wearing goggles as if Lee Jun-seok was crazy.

“The Death Note Hunter · · · · · · · · · · · ·. Are you okay with this storm? ”

Then the sermon looked around. Now, it turns out that not only seven teams, but all 12 teams, were caught in a storm and couldn't move properly.

‘Huh, crazy. ’

My skills melted so naturally in the storm that I almost missed the point, but I realized later.

This storm was the real gateway between the cracks.
