trauma penalty.

(1) ========================= 1.

Black Dragon.

A guild that has been at the top since the day the tower was opened in this world.

“It’s not that we couldn’t attack the 10th floor because we didn’t have enough skills.”

The second-ranked hunter who commands the Black Dragon.

The Black Witch challenged the 10th floor dozens of times.

I failed every time I tried.

The 2nd ranked hunter was defeated, but all the hunters who participated in the attack came back alive.

A black witch said in an interview.

“I just had little luck.”

On the other hand, Yeomje broke through the 10th floor alone and declared.

“Luck is also a skill, you bastards.”

It was an interview that was later called the jinta manifesto.

The Black Dragon, who suddenly became a stinky group, started to be hostile to the flame emperor...

Well, it wasn't important anymore.

He died at my hands anyway.

The possibility that such an interview would take place disappeared.

The problem is this.

'Why did the other hunters fail and only Yeomje was able to attack the 10th floor?' 'Because the salt is overwhelmingly strong?' or not.

'Any other reason?' The answer is now unfolding in front of my eyes.

2.

[Boss stage begins.] As soon as the voice rang, the scenery of the mansion changed completely.

Whoops! Candles were scattered everywhere.

Fireworks soared from the place where it fell.

Had it been pre-lubricated? The fire horse engulfed the Western-style mansion in an instant.

- Carr! In the blazing fire, only the dolls survived.

- Uncle is drinking! We'll run away! - Let's run, let's run! Let's run away from here! hundreds of sieves.

No, there are thousands of little girl dolls.

There were so many dolls all over the first floor lobby.

There are probably tens of thousands of dolls hidden throughout the entire mansion.

'One of these.' gulp.

I swallowed saliva.

'Somewhere in the mansion, there is only one [real doll].' 1 in tens of thousands of odds! This was the cause of the failure of the attack group so far.

'They all burn to death while trying to find the real doll.

If you want to escape before you die, you only have 10 minutes to explore.' The flames burning in the mansion now were no ordinary fire.

fire.

fire fire.

It was an [Auror] embodied in the form of a so-called Hellfire.

In other words.

'This huge mansion is burning in the Auror.' A boss monster that knows how to use Aurors! So far, the attack team has faced one of two endings, either burning to death in this auror's hell, or escaping before dying.

Some hunters risked their lives to challenge the odds of 1 in tens of thousands, but it was in vain.

He just screamed and burned to death.

An impregnable hell.

And here...

is the reason why only the Flame Emperor cleared the 10th floor.

“A bastard who lives on his luck.”

I murmured.

Yes.

The form of the boss monster and the auror was the same.

For other hunters, this mansion is hell.

But for Yeomje, it was as comfortable as his own bedroom.

The fire of the 10th floor boss monster was at the same time an attribute of the flame dragon.

“Twitter.”

In a word, the match was right.

'I must have wandered around until I found a real doll.' Yes, you are pretending that luck is your skill.

He was also a guy I didn't like.

- The hunter who makes a living by luck is you, a zombie.

“What am I lucky to eat?”

I furrowed my eyebrows at the whispering behind the scenes.

“I’m still struggling with Auror.”

Beads of sweat ran down between his eyebrows.

hot heat! His whole body was drenched in flames that were incomparably hotter than a sauna.

If it hadn't been for the Auror, it would have been burned to death.

-Yes.

Anyway, one minute is the limit, right? Ironically, the mastermind accurately pinpointed my condition.

- For reference, Grandpa Marcus can survive for 30 minutes.

Can you tell me why Grandpa hasn't tried this yet? It's to build up your skills until you increase 30 minutes to 1 hour.

“...Ah, yes.

Thank you for confirming the difference between my sword and my skills.”

- Giggles.

The mastermind flew freely through the mansion lobby engulfed in flames.

The dolls are laughing below, and the ghosts are laughing above.

Absolutely no haunted mansion.

-therefore? I only have 2 coins, so what am I going to do from now on? “How about what? You must die first.”

- Wow.

If you die here, do you think your auror will suddenly increase? The mastermind laughed.

-There are only two ways to clear this path! Lucky to find a real doll.

Or use the auror so well that it can withstand the flames until you find the real doll.

But you foolishly bet only 2 coins yourself, right? It won't, probably.

“Huh.”

Even though I was sweating, I didn't lose my smile.

“This one knows one and the other doesn’t.

no.

Do you know only two and not three?”

-What? “Who will win, we’ll see after we die.”

Now 20 seconds before the auror runs out.

I approached the nearest doll.

There was no reason...

It was boring to die standing still like this, right? Maybe I was really lucky and didn't know that the doll in front of me was [real].

-Are you going to play with us? intervening profit.

The doll's neck turned.

Only the neck turned.

It was not strange to be cast for a horror movie right away.

The doll was wearing a dress with frills, and not a single skirt was burned, whether the flames burned everywhere or not.

It's like being immune to fire.

“Caught.”

I said as I put my hand on the doll's head.

- Kreuk.

A laugh escaped the doll's expressionless mouth.

- Ding! I'm not! It wasn't just laughter that flowed from the doll's mouth.

Lips.

skin.

pupil.

The doll's body flowed down like candle wax.

The fire engulfed the doll in an instant, and while it was being swallowed, the doll murmured like a broken record machine.

-I'm not! I'm not! I'm not! -no! I'm not.

I'm...

I'm not...

I'm...

-I'm not···.

All burned and melted.

"Wow···." I'm at a loss for words.

Even though his body was hot, his lower back felt a little chilly.

It was a more horrifying scene than I had imagined.

“It’s creepy.

Why did you have to make the boss stage feel so bad?”

-Who knows the holy meaning of the tower? it's a zombie It is also the meaning of T.O.P to grant Gaesagi skills to a bastard like you.

If there's such a thing as personality in the tower, it's probably a perverted psychopath.

“Even if I tell you the truth…”

I couldn't complain any more.

“Ugh!?”

All the aurors are gone.

The fire rushed in as if he had waited for this moment.

hot! First of all, the sole of the shoe melted.

Next, the sleeves.

And sparks moved to his hair.

“Oh,”

from head to toe.

“Aww! Aaaaaah!”

My whole body was on fire.

flesh melted The flames did not stop even if the skin flowed down.

Rather, it clings more intensely, as if a more delicious prey was hiding in its flesh.

nerve.

bone.

throat.

guts.

“Woah, shit…! Whoa, whoa!”

-And you're a pervert that jumps over towers.

big No matter how much you want to be the best hunter in the world, you don't mind being burned to death.

I admit it, Zombie Kim! You are a real pervert! I want to die.

Hurry, I want to die even for a second! "Eww···!" No voice came out.

the sound became muffled.

His eyes and ears were burned.

At the moment when my head felt like it was about to explode because of overheating, a voice I had been waiting for for so long came from my consciousness.

[You are dead.] Damn it.

I'll kill you a little faster.

ㆍ ㆍ ㆍ ㆍ ㆍ ㆍ '- Fuha!' I dived in deep water and breathed like a man who barely came to the surface.

Of course, I wasn't really breathing, I just felt like I was exhaling.

This is the realm.

It was a pitch-black place with my bare body wandering around like a ghost.

[The skill condition is achieved by death.] [A random copy of the monster Hellfire Maiden's skill.] And for me, it was also a place of opportunity.

[Skill cards are formed.] Cards floated in the dark air.

If it is surprising, is it surprising? Although it was a boss monster, there was only one golden card.

The rest of the cards all shone in silver and shit.

'Ego.

Promise, haven't you forgotten?' -I know.

boy.

Do I look like someone who will break my promise to bet? do not worry.

The background man laughed bitterly.

- Where can I see you? What skills do you want this lady to have? The spirit behind them flew up and headed to the other side of the cards.

As promised in advance, to let me know the contents of the skills.

-Oh oh! Hey, is this great? The mastermind read the golden card first.

+ [Barrier of Inferno] Rank: S- Effect: resentment.

originality (怨聲).

resentment.

Your unresolved, your unreachable voice, your unfulfilled wish.

Burn them all.

'It's hot.' Is it hot? Make the world on fire.

'I think I'm going to die.' kill it If you wish, the auror's inferno will descend in a 2km radius.

No one can get out of this hell without your permission.

Anybody.

※However, you must also be within the barrier.

+ It was a terrifying skill.

- This is unconditional.

Zombie, shut up and take this skill.

'··········.' -Yes? Hey, Kim Zombie.

why no answer 'no.

just.' I furrowed my eyebrows.

'Somehow, I'm a little bit interested in it.' What? Great skill hit.

But something struck me.

My stomach felt stuffy as if I had vomited while eating.

It feels like the water pipe is broken and you don't know exactly where it broke.

'···Anyway, read the following skills.' -OK? I don't think there is any better technique than this.

Can't I just choose this one? 'I have a different skill that I am aiming for.

Come on, come on!' - Write.

The mastermind pursed his lips, but recited the cards according to my words.

- Come on, listen carefully.

[Labyrinth Design] A-Class, [Puppet Control] B-Class, [Remote Control] B-Class, [Trap Installation] C-Class....

Stop.

-·········.

Bae Huo-ryeong read the card vigorously and then stopped.

last skill.

In front of the silver-colored card with the back side of the card, Hueryeong's eyes fluttered.

- Fuck you? I smiled.

'Well then.' - No, hey...

wait a minute...

'That's Okay.

'cause I know You don't even have to read it.' convinced That's the card I want.

[Please select a skill card.] The cards began to fly in the air.

The speed was fast.

However, it was difficult to confuse me, who was only looking at one card from the beginning.

-Hey! Confucius! Hey! let's not do this I shouted hard to see if the mastermind knew that.

-Look at this.

Wow, a golden card! Wow, S-class skill! awesome! If you get this, you'll just have to create a barrier of inferno whenever you want.

how cool 'I don't know.' - Why don't you know that! I love you! If I were a woman, Gongja Kim, I would fall in love with your inferno charm! Gaza! Starting today, Gongja Kim's life as a top star! I smiled bitterly.

'It should have felt strange from the beginning.' There were clues.

'Among tens of thousands of dolls, there is only one [real] one.

Real dolls are the ones who use their skills, so of course they don't take damage from fire.' I stretched out my hand.

'But why are even the fake dolls intact in the fire?' And snatched the silver card.

- Aaaaah! no! no! Fuck, no! 'Isn't there only one answer? Mr.

Gumjae.' I turned the silver card over.

+ [Wake up, beware of fire] Rank: A Effect: Oh, it's hot! If we leave it hot like this, will our house burn down? But rest assured now.

The creatures and objects you designate are immune to fire and will no longer burn.

Free yourself from the fear of fire and enjoy a safe life! ※However, damage from water and ice properties is increased by 300%.

+ Yes.

10th floor stage.

Hide and Seek in the Inferno Mansion.

The boss here didn't just have [burning ability].

'Cheer up!' Conversely, it also has the [ability to make it unburnable].

I clenched my fists and was overcome with the euphoria of victory.

'Come! I saw it! I got it!' - No...

no, no, heh heh.

It's not...

it's not really this...

The spirit of the background has collapsed mentally.

'No, what is it? Alright, now I can give myself fire immunity with this skill and it's over.

All you have to do is take it easy and find out where the real doll is.

It's game over.

You have to call me Confucius from today!' -Damn...

Fuck...

Crazy...

This is a scam.

It's Mangem....

'Uh-huh! Come on, call me Confucius!' My laughter spread through the dark space.

A voice that was not mine rang quietly.

[Selection complete.

Copy the skill.] [Reverts to 24 hours ago.] A bell to announce that my side won the bet between the two of us.

Now, I just had to go back the day before and challenge the 10th floor boss in the same way.

It was like having a clear in front of you.

[Your Hunter rank is now E-rank.] However, today was not the end of this.

[Penalty due to skill occurs.] - Huh? 'Ah.

hit.' A notification that has not been heard until now because it remains an F-class terminal.

But now that I have grown into an E-class hunter, the first penalty in my life has come.

What will be awarded as a penalty? [Reproduce the trauma of the enemy who killed you.] [The penalty depth is approx.

It is the road to hell.] 'Huh? trauma?' I tilted my head at the unexpected appearance of the word.

'What does it mean to reproduce the trauma of the enemy....' Whoa! Before he could finish speaking, the space in front of him became white.
