SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

leisurely cup of coffee.

(3) ========================= 2.

- Confucius! This guy is straight.

let's die "die." -Ah.

Confucius.

You bastard is bluffing with this one pair.

hey, hey it's like it's like Call me and I'll kill you.

"call." -Yah.

Our Confucius and Confucius are the same.

Same two pair.

But what about this? Confucius, two pairs are taller on the feet? big This is fun Let's go until one side is clear, Confucius! “Raise.”

- Wow.

Is this guy aiming for a full house at all? Confucius.

Don't worry.

I just poked my nose under the table and glanced at the cards.

A full house will never be built until the very end.

Trust me, let's go! “All-in.”

The poker game circulated about thirty rounds.

“·················ogue.”

The man sitting across from me trembled.

venomous snake.

The one-eyed hunter's face was flushed red.

“Damn! This is a scam!”

The viper kicked out of his seat and stood up.

Koo! The table shook.

The other hunters raised their coffee cups at the same time as if they had anticipated this situation.

Thanks to this, the disaster of coffee spilling on the table is avoided.

Well.

Great timing.

“It doesn’t make sense! I've played over 30 games already and this guy never lost.

Bluffing doesn't work either.

Absolutely a scam! I don't know if it's passive or what, but he's using a dog-like skill! It's a scam! It's a scam!”

“Do you have any evidence?”

I sip hot chocolate.

Now that it has cooled down, it has become a plain chocolate latte.

it's delicious like this “Maybe I'm a bit of a poker expert.

It's embarrassing if you just push it even when there's no evidence.

Please take a good look, senior.”

“Hey, is this kid really a registered F-class hunter!?”

The viper looked around and shouted.

“Wherever you look, this guy is an F-class! I'd rather believe it if the children of the management office took money and slandered me.

Anything that goes out of the way is at least a B-grade!”

"Wow.

How did you know that? It's not that F-class." "Yes! I knew it would be like this...”

“Actually, I just went up to E-class yesterday.

I haven't been able to report it to the management office because I've been busy trying to attack the 10th floor since yesterday." “·················ogue.”

I smiled.

“Thank you for appreciating me.

Anyway, Master Moon.

Are all the chips out?”

"Eww···." The viper turned his back.

He walked with a weak gait.

outfield seat.

The dropouts who ran out of chips were gathering in the outfield.

"Welcome to! Heavenly Moon Master!”

The heretic interrogator who was eliminated first smiled brightly.

“I thought the time had come for Cheonmu Moonju to be eliminated.

So I ordered another cup of espresso! No need to specify.

Please enjoy.”

“I hate espresso...”

"Yes! I know.

Picky eating is bad, so get over it!”

“The clan religious man….”

The viper sat down on the drop-off table crying.

There were three hunters who survived to the end of the game board.

me.

A witch from the Black Dragon Guild.

And although it was unexpected, the paladin also survived.

“Ummm.”

The paladin narrowed his brow as he looked down at his card hand.

Deputy guild leader of the Vigilante.

A Hunter famous for being just and fair.

The Vigilante was a guild that was established to protect the security of Babylon, the city on the first floor of the tower.

Judging from the outside world, the Hunter in front of him was second to the Commissioner of the National Police Agency.

Because he had no self-interest, he gave all his fortune to an orphanage.

"lost." The paladin sighed and put the card down.

“I have some confidence in my poker face.

Gongja Kim.

Do you have any mind-reading skills?”

"well.

It could be mind-reading, it could be clairvoyance.

Guess it.”

“··· These days, rookies are really tough.”

The paladin smiled bitterly.

She nodded at me and then walked to the dropout.

"Hey! What if you give up so easily, you bastard?”

The viper, who was already sitting in the outfield, became angry.

My lips were dirty because I spilled some espresso.

“Whether it’s good or bad, you have to stick to it like a hound! Are you going to leave that con artist alone!”

“You are a scammer.

You're too harsh on the new hero.”

“Just by looking at him, he uses his skills outright!”

The paladin shrugged.

“I knew it from the beginning.”

"Huh? What?" “On the other hand, it is strange not to know.

Could it be that a rookie proposes a poker game without any preparation and pure luck? The fact that I challenged myself with a game means that I declared [I am confident that I can defeat you without my skills being discovered].

We accepted that challenge.”

The viper opened his mouth blankly.

“Is that so?”

“Chunmu Moonju….

It's good to focus on martial arts, but roll your head a little." The paladin looked down at the viper with a look of regret.

“From the beginning, we have nothing to lose in this game.

Of course, winning is a windfall.

But even if we lose...

that rookie said I will join all the guilds here.

That is a good result in its own way.”

“Ha, but.

We're chewy! How can a young blue-eyed guy be on the same level as us..." “Does your self-esteem feed you?”

The viper became a honey-eaten dumb.

“Espresso feeds! Come on, Heavenly Moon Master.

Just eat it!”

“Ceveral....”

In the end, the only remaining person is the second-ranked hunter, the black witch.

and me.

There were only two.

“·················ogue.”

The witch looked at her card hand and opened her mouth.

"thank God." “What do you mean?”

“Because you are still a human being who can speak.”

The witch bet the chip.

Rays.

raised the stake.

Are you provoking me? “I am from Ukraine.

More precisely, I'm from a place that used to be Ukraine.

Ever since I lost my family in a civil war, I have been living abroad.

as you know.

Whether it’s the tower or the outside world, it’s not good for a woman to live alone.”

“Okay, well.”

I gladly accepted the provocation.

reraise.

I increased the stake more.

“·················ogue.”

The witch hesitated for a moment, then tapped the table twice.

tuk.

tuk.

It was a sign of accepting the match.

After being eliminated from the game, the Count, who took on the role of a dealer, laid out the cards.

“So what are you trying to say?”

I patted my chin pretending to be worried.

“People who entered the tower.

In particular, it is more difficult for the first generation to find people without a story.

I am an ordinary orphan.”

My card hand is One Pair.

“...this tower is like home to me.”

The opponent's hand is a flush.

“The tower doesn’t ask where you are from.

No, we made it a world that doesn't ask questions.

That I am from Ukraine.

Tianmu Moonju is from China.

That you are from Korea...

It doesn't matter in our tower." "Is that so?" "okay.

Thanks to T.O.P's protection, we can understand each other's words.

Here we are equal contenders...

at least than in the outside world.”

If I stick around like this, I lose.

But I raised my stake with ease.

“People in the outside world treat this road as a trash can.”

“A rose blooms even in a trash can.”

The witch resolutely sent a call sign.

“Gongja Kim.

The moment the clock in the sky shows [00:00:00], the media will pour out articles about you all at once.

A completely different life will begin.

I hope you act wisely.”

"It's good." One more card is turned over on the table.

“I’m not proud of it, but I like receiving attention.

I want people to praise me, look up to me, and envy me.

I'm serious.

In fact, that's all I am.”

Now my hand has changed to Two Pair.

“…to be honest.

It seems that his personality is the opposite of that of a swordsman.”

The witch's hand was still flush.

Although I was still at a disadvantage for a long time.

“All-in.”

“·················ogue.”

“I am confident.”

I removed my eyes from my hand and looked at the witch.

“I’m going to tell you all about it.

I don't want you to treat me just because I made it to the 10th floor.

20th floor.

30th floor.

40th floor.

50th floor.

We will attack up to the 100th floor.

No matter how long it takes, we will definitely conquer the tower.”

“·················ogue.”

“I know you value the tower.

I respect you.

I also have no intention of fighting with you in vain.

But I will see you as a competitor.”

Who will climb the tower first? Who deserves to be praised as the greatest hero? To be remembered by people, to be praised, to be jealous and despised.

To build a monumental tower that everyone looks up to.

“I want to see the world beyond the tower rather than the world inside the tower.”

So I will climb the tower.

“War refugees.

or food shortages.

I don't have time to worry about that.

to be honest.

If you need my name to solve problems, please use it.

Write whatever you want.

However, please support me to climb the tower.”

Today, I felt like attacking the 10th floor.

I wanted to feel the sensation of being at the top again.

I've only tasted it once, but I feel like I'm already addicted to that feeling.

Because it was so awesome! "···Sigh." The witch, who had been silent for a while, let out a sigh.

“I was wrong.

Your sword and personality are not opposites, they are exactly the same.”

The witch raised her hands and pushed the chip.

A mountain of chips collapsed and gathered in the middle of the table.

all in.

“Is that a compliment?”

“No, it’s an insult.

They are like greedy people.”

The last card is turned over.

The opponent's hand is flushed without change.

My defeat is Full House.

“It’s a compliment, too.”

I smiled.

"thank you." It was my victory.

“Then, as promised, I expect you to be treated on an equal footing.”

“Can we expect to take on our duties as much as we enjoy our rights?”

"Yes? Isn't it the hunter's duty to climb the tower? Don't worry.

I will continue to do my duty as a hunter.”

“It’s a rookie thing…”

The witch smiled bitterly.

-Well.

Zombie Kim is not a joke.

In fact, if he had a skill called squeaking, he would have gotten an S rank.

'...are you really calling me a zombie right after the game is over?' -Of course not, zombie-ryeon! Confucius, what kind of frozen Confucius! Huryeong was excited and flew through the air.

-zombie! zombie! Zombie bastards! Kyaa, it must have been such a sad thing not to be able to call a zombie a zombie! I will never bet with that bastard again! 'Ugly....' How can a yangban called the King of Swords be so ugly? I got up, kicking my tongue in my mind.

“Are you going already?”

"Yes.

The 11th floor will open in a little while.

In order not to fall behind others, we have to prepare now.”

“I don’t know what kind of area the 11th floor is, how are we going to prepare?”

Well.

'It wouldn't hurt to give a little hint here.' Being treated like this, if you make even a small amount of debt, your future steps will be easier.

I gathered my thoughts and opened my mouth.

“It’s [role play].”

"Yes?" “The theme from the 11th to the 20th floor is [role play].”

All the hunters, including the witch, looked at me.

Everyone's eyes were hot.

It was natural.

If you had even the smallest hint, you could hit and run faster than the others.

The information I am passing on now is worth a thousand gold.

“After clearing the 10th floor, he gave me a hint as a reward.”

Lies, of course.

I haven't been paid for attacking the 10th floor yet.

The reward will be given when the sky clock hits 00:00:00.

But I knew what was going to happen from now on.

knowledge of the future.

There was no reason not to use this.

“I don’t know more than this.”

"···Yes.

Thanks for sharing the information.”

The witch nodded her head.

“I will pay off this debt later.”

It was a word for the future.

3.

I slept well at the dormitory and went out to the square.

The city is already in a festive mood.

The fact that the 10th floor was attacked for the first time in many years, the Hunters were delighted.

There was also a bar that gave out free beer, and some singers crafted a tune from the plaza.

“But who really broke the 10th floor?”

There's only one question that people find uneasy about.

“There is no official announcement yet...”

“Some people said they saw the guild leaders gathering in one place.”

“Did you see the video saying it’s not a swordsmanship? I was really frowning when I said that.

Absolutely not.”

“Then who the hell are you?”

murmur-.

I could hear the chattering conversation of the people from the side.

I kept trying to hold back my laughter.

'I can be right next to you.' I was mixed with people right in the middle of the festival site.

[00:02:09] One day after the 10th floor was attacked, the number gradually decreased in the sky clock, although it was slow.

One hunter was holding a beer mug he got for free, and another hunter looked up at the sky while talking about an unidentified attacker.

It's like the people of the outside world who welcome the new year.

[00:00:10] “Ten!”

Even though no one ordered it, when the clock in the sky decreased to 10 seconds, the hunters gathered their mouths and shouted the numbers.

[00:00:09] “Goo!”

[00:00:08] “Arms!”

The square echoed at the sound of numerous hunters shouting at the same time.

Seven, six, oh...

Although it was not a new year, the expectation that a new era would open stood on everyone's face.

[00:00:04] “Sa!”

I took out my smartphone and checked the press.

I didn't see any articles about me as to whether the embargo was being properly followed.

[00:00:03] “Three!”

It was then.

Articles started to come up a few seconds later on the media site operated by Babylon.

Is it greed to raise a scoop even 1 second faster than other media outlets? [00:00:02] “This!”

I checked the articles.

-[Breaking News] The hunter who cleared the 10th floor is an unknown E-class rookie! -[Breaking News] My real name is Gongja Kim.

From Korea....

-[Breaking News] It is known that the hunter who cleared the 10th floor joined the giant guild at the same time.

-[Breaking News] The official position of the Black Dragon Guild.

Welcome to the new hero....

I smiled.

[00:00:01] “Work!”

It was the beginning of a new era.22.
