Do you also have skills? (3) ========================= 3.

A week has passed.

-Goror....

The monster staggered with the sound of a pot boiling.

The Great Goblin.

The monster that was no different from the lord of the hunting ground on the 5th floor eventually collapsed with his throat cut.

I looked down at the corpse of the great goblin with a sad face.

“Choose.”

Over the past week, the monster in front of me was the strongest enemy.

Oh, how many times did you die to catch this monster? I became an honorable warrior and made the great goblin a goblin...

- You're being pissed off.

It's like a zombie again.

"Ah.

A little.

You only hunted for 6 coins.

Can’t we just leave it immersed in emotion?”

For reference, 6 coins means that I risked my life 6 times.

This is the 6th coin, so it means that you have died 5 times while catching the great goblin.

The mastermind snorted.

-If you fall in love with the fact that you caught a monster, what is it? I only tell the facts.

“Wow, that’s right.

Our swordsman has a very good personality.”

As you can already see from the free conversation with the background spirit, I've gotten used to the auror over time.

Even now, time was passing slowly due to the effect of the elixir.

It's just that I'm concentrating on the auror on my tongue and speaking 'much faster' than usual.

“Gorge.”

It wasn't a head-to-head match, but a win with a yabawi.

I pulled out a shit-colored card and checked it.

+ [Goblin High Society] Rank: F Effect: The great goblin struggled.

'Our goblin culture is too low-level.

All languages end in kerruk, kerruk.

In this way, the majesty of the main seat cannot be glorified!' at that time.

The genius of the great goblin flashed.

'Yes! From now on, I will say that the main seat is Goreuk, not Keruk.

Gorgeous! It is a pronunciation suitable for the noble sensibility of this seat.' ※However, conflicts within the tribe will intensify.

※This skill was copied from the Monster King Goblin.

+ I clicked my tongue.

“Even goblins care about useless things.

Whether it’s Keruk or Goruk, that’s what it is.”

- So it's a goblin.

Humans are no different.

"Yes?" - Well, you're talking to yourself.

As I was about to ask what it meant, a voice rang in my head.

[Your presence becomes more distinct.] A sound you've never heard before.

But I knew what this meant.

Numerous hunters testified in interviews, and even showed them directly through personal videos.

“D, finally!”

Level up right away! [Hunter Gongja Kim's level increases.] "Ah..." It was shocking.

He has lived his entire life as an F-class hunter.

I was worried that I might not live like that in the future.

However, I got the clone skill and the regression skill, and overcame a lot of pain...

Finally, the moment of leveling up came for me as well.

[Skill slots are expanding!] [Your Hunter rank is now E-rank!] Although it was still only E-rank.

[Good luck to you.] Hurry up! A red auror soared from beneath her feet.

Flames.

Or it simply resembled a red stream of water, which once covered my body.

Then it went down again and disappeared.

-Is it fireworks? Bae Huo-ryeong narrowed his forehead in front of him.

- No, blood? I'm confused.

It looks like fire or blood...

“Is that just a level-up effect?”

- It's not just an effect that's meant to look cool.

The mastermind scratched the back of the head.

-It's kind of a hint.

“Hint?”

-Well.

When you level up, the type of [Auror's] is determined depending on what kind of effect is displayed.

For example, there's a guy called Yeomje that you killed.

He must have had [Fire] in the form of his Auror.

“It’s a flame.”

I recalled the memory.

The scene where Yeomje burned a saint to death in an alley in a slum.

It was such a bad memory that I didn't want to recall it again...

It certainly seems to have dealt with Aurors in the form of flowing flames.

-The type of aura that appears is usually determined by the hunter's trauma.

trauma.

- An event that is significant enough to determine one's life.

scene.

Memory.

That's how it appears in the form of an auror.

Would you say it's unconscious? Well, it doesn't have to be a negative trauma.

generally yes "indeed." - From my point of view, you are either fire or blood.

After hearing the story, I was a little curious.

“Then… what kind of auror is the sword fortress?”

-Moonlight.

He said as if tossing him in the background.

-Grandpa Marcus said he got lost in the mountains when he was young.

I didn't want to die, so I went up to the top of the mountain in a hurry, but as I got closer to the top, the leaves covering the night sky became more and more sparse.

Finally, as I climbed to the top of the mountain, the dark night sky spreads out brightly.

moonlight.

- At that moment, I thought.

The moon doesn't shine on its own, it just receives the light of the sun, and a life that just accepts it can be beautiful enough.

Ah.

I also want to shine by accepting it like the moonlight.

“·················ogue.”

-It made a very deep impression on me, so I kept it in my heart for the rest of my life.

I was dumbfounded when I heard it.

“You mean when you were young?”

-OK.

It was when I was 12.

“What 12-year-old thinks so deeply?”

The mastermind nodded his head.

- So, Grandpa Marcus is a natural nerd.

tttttttttttttttttttttttttt When I was 12, I was just thinking about how to effectively get rid of the thug in front of me.

“No, that’s a bit… it doesn’t seem normal…”

If a swordsman is a born kkondae, what is the spirit behind your eyes? A natural bastard? - Anyway, I got used to the 5th floor.

Let's go up to the 6th floor hunting ground.

“Ah, that’s it.”

I said.

“Can’t we just attack the 10th floor boss right away?”

-What? “I also knew that monster skills could be duplicated.

Auror got used to it to some extent.

In my opinion, I can catch even the 10th floor boss.”

The mastermind kept her mouth shut for a moment.

The eyes looking at me were bitter.

-Gongja Kim.

Haven't you already started to be arrogant about the kiddie subject? “Absolutely not.”

I answered firmly.

10th floor! In our world, we haven't hit the 10th floor in years.

It was a place called impregnable.

He said that he would dare to clear such a difficult area, so from the standpoint of the mastermind, it was enough to be concerned.

“I’m really confident.”

But I really had the confidence to attack.

No, I'm sure.

“If I can’t catch the 10th floor boss within 2 coins, I will call you Master.”

-Huh? 2 coins? Bae Huo-ryeong suddenly turned into a harsh expression.

-The guy who took 6 coins to catch the goblin boss will catch the 10th floor boss in 2 coins? really? It seems you don't know, but I've never seen it in a bet.

"only! There are conditions.”

-Yes? I picked up my index finger.

“Don’t hide from me what skills the 10th floor boss has, tell me everything.

This must not be a lie.

It is also forbidden to deceive the card.”

- Hmm.

What is that about...

"and!" I smiled.

“If I win, call me Confucius.

Be as polite as possible.

Be polite and polite.”

-·········.

"why? scared? no way.

If you're scared, quit." dreaming.

If I had to pick one word that Yangachi hates to hear the most, it would be 'Are you scared?' it will be And the mastermind was not an ordinary yangachi.

He was the strongest assassin in the other world who attacked even the 99th floor.

Bae Huo-ryeong's facial muscles twitched.

- Kaak, hehe! Is this Thunder Naked man making fun of the world's swordsman for saying he has some morale skills? oh no, it's good Let's place a bet somewhere! "call." -call! Zombie Kim, you will not be able to defeat the boss on the 10th floor and you will call me Master until you die for the rest of your life.

Ah! You can't even die, so you'll just have to live with Master's voice in your mouth forever.

“Do you have delusional skills? Come on, let's get ready to serve Confucius." - Heh heh.

“Heh heh.”

We glared at each other and smirked.

The hunters who were hunting goblins from afar murmured.

"Hey.

That person has been muttering to himself ever since.”

“Now I even laugh to myself.

Do you have any mental problems?”

"Shh! look this way Pretend you don't know, pretend you don't know." “·················ogue.”

···· I should cut down on my self-talk as much as possible.

I quietly shut my mouth and headed to the 10th floor.

4.

Unlike other hunting grounds, the manager stood in front of the 10th floor boss room.

The person dispatched from the Hunter Administration frowned upon hearing my story.

“Are you going to challenge the boss by yourself?”

"Yes." The manager's expression was 'Who is this madman?' It took only 2 seconds to change to .

"there.

I don't know if you saw the news last time...

Only 30 elite members in the Black Dragon Guild.

I tried to form an attack group by adding up to the top 4 rankers, but failed.

Solo hunting is suicide.”

“How are you?”

I was proud “It is the rule of the management office to send unconditionally hunters who want to attack.”

"That's right, but..." The manager's face became annoyed.

“Excuse me, but I record all hunters entering and leaving here.

The manager of the bureau will look at the records later...

Then, won't I become the bad guy who just let the hunter who was about to die? Please take a look at this situation.”

"Well." how will we do it.

I calmly stroked my chin.

-what? Administration? We didn't raise these guys when we attacked the tower in our world! Of course, it means that I was the only one calm.

-If these guys fall for it! I've never liked the bureaucracy, the guild, and the politicized little guy I've been through.

You're wasting your heart on that, so you're still babbling on the 10th floor! Hey, Kim Zombie! Just defeat this bastard and go into the boss room.

'no.

Why do you hit someone who has done nothing wrong?' - You dare block my way.

After all, human rights were at the level of mosquitoes for fear of not being a psychopath.

“The manager.”

Tickling my tongue in my mind, I pulled out my pocket.

“I see you are struggling from the beginning.

The manager is right.

Trying to challenge yourself is just an act of suicide.

But...

I really want to commit suicide.”

"Yes?" “It’s so hard these days…”

I smiled bitterly.

“My girlfriend died a year ago.

Not long ago, the Ministry of Pensions declared me an incurable disease.

No matter how long I live, it's only been half a year, but I can't afford to go through half a year without a lover.”

"Ah···." -What? The mastermind frowned.

- What kind of bullshit is this zombie bastard talking about? I ignored it.

And he kept whispering to the manager in front of him.

“By the way, even though I’m at the end, I’m a hunter.

I don't want to end my life waiting to die today or tomorrow after being hospitalized in the pension castle.

Even if I die when I die...

I want to challenge monsters until the very end.”

“A story like that…”

As the manager listened to me, he gradually made a sad expression on his face.

Why.

When you hear the unfortunate tragedy of someone completely unrelated, don't you know the expression on which people say, 'Ah...' it! “Here is the money I saved up to fight the disease.”

I handed the money bag to the janitor.

It was heavy.

There was a hundred gold in the pocket.

“Anyway, it’s useless now… the manager has it.”

“Hey, I can’t take this kind of money!”

“I want to leave without leaving anything that will disappear anyway.

Manager.

Please don't even record that I've been in and out of here.

This is my last request as a hunter..." The manager's expression grew heavy.

It's almost like crying.

Perhaps the weight of the money bag is on top of that heaviness.

"···All right.

Go.

I didn't see anything..." - Wow.

The command behind it was absurd.

-Hey.

Are you two shooting a movie? Where are the hidden cameras going now? Whatever it was, the janitor let me through.

I broke up with the manager and moved on.

stone road.

The place where the 10th floor boss stayed was a very splendid mansion like an aristocratic family in the old days.

I walked down the stone road leading to the mansion.

'Originally, the 10th floor cleared by Yeosu-Ha.' I stood in front of the mansion's gate.

I slowly pushed the door open with both hands.

'This time it's different.

On behalf of the salt offering...

No.' cut profit.

The hinges trembled and the door to the mansion opened.

'Don't write a more splendid legend than the flames.' I took a step forward.

And it started.

- Carrrrr! Laughter was heard from all sides.

At the same time, the door I opened and entered closed.

Koo! In an instant, the surroundings darkened, and the creepy laughter from the other side of the darkness grew stronger.

Candles were lit one by one.

-Are you going to play? this place.

over there.

Burnt candles on the floor were lit even though no one touched them.

Wherever the candle was lit, there was always a doll.

Little girls dolls that children will often play with.

-Are you going to play with us? The dolls opened their mouths.

- Ice? Has the rose of mugunghwa bloomed? hide and seek? - The ice has melted.

All the flowers are torn Let's play hide and seek! -OK! play with us! Play hide and seek! - Kyarrrr! I took a pose.

"OK.

Don’t play.”

An auror, which I had trained for the past week, began to bloom from my body.

As if waiting for such a reaction, a voice echoed in my head.

[You have entered the boss stage.] [The challenger is Hunter Gongja Kim.

There is only one person.] [Good luck to you.] A stage that has not yet been captured by anyone in the human race.

The so-called 'hide and seek in the inferno mansion' began.
