SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

Hero Hunt.

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

'You can't beat the flames in a normal way.' My heart was pounding.

I tried to calm myself down, but it wasn't easy.

Maybe it's natural? Just a little while ago, my head was burned to death.

The pain he felt as his bones and flesh were burned alive was terrifying.

“Damn, you dog.”

I stared at the newspaper scraps on the wall.

The history of salt.

From the days when he was a nameless rookie to the world ranking first, numerous interviews and articles were attached.

Of course, there was also a picture of the dye.

I was so unlucky that I wanted to tear it up right away.

“Ts.

But when this bastard dies, he goes back to 24 hours ago.”

Even if you kill, you can't kill.

This is too big a problem.

'It's actually an invincible cheat, isn't it?' Still, the difference in skill between Yeomje and I is as big as that of Taeyang and Fireflies.

The opponent is ranked number 1 in the world.

I am ranked outside.

Jealousy alone is enough to be acknowledged by TOP as being the greatest of all time...

Even if a coincidence is a coincidence, a miracle is added to a miracle, it is difficult for me to kill the flame.

'It's a problem even if you really succeed in killing it.' What will happen if I kill the salt dragon? It just goes back to 24 hours ago.

And that's it.

Yeomje will try to kill me by any means possible, and the moment he realizes that he cannot kill me, he will try to imprison me forever.

Build a prison in the basement and put them in there.

With the help and skill of the Flame Emperor, you can easily subdue me.

And I will spend my life in prison forever.

The bed-ending number two of Gong-ja Kim's life.

It's a gorgeous confinement ending.

“Sister....”

Killing is also a problem.

Killing is a problem.

How the hell am I supposed to get revenge on this psychopath? 'how will we do it.' 'What method can I use to try to rank No.

1?' day.

I stayed in my bedroom for over 24 hours, thinking.

I was worried as I stared at the newspaper articles on the wall.

All the information about the salt was contained there.

Maybe he saw it and thought of a hint.

“Subdue the 39th floor alone!”

“Subdue the 38th floor in solo play! Another legend of the flames!”

“Hunter Yoo Su-ha.

Reached number 1 in the world rankings.

First as a Korean.”

ㆍ ㆍ ㆍ “The throne of No.

1 in the rankings was empty due to the disappearance of the swordsman.

Who will be the next protagonist? Foreign experts unite, “The most powerful candidate is Korea’s Yoo Su-ha.”

Who is the mysterious hero?”

“Swordsmanship, the 22nd day of disappearance.

The worst chaos in the hunter industry is coming.”

“········.”

That was the moment.

"Huh?" A tremor rose in my head.

"for a moment.

...Look at this?”

I muttered as I touched a scrap of the newspaper.

A magazine interviewed Yeomje.

Originally, the article was posted on the Internet, but I printed it out myself and attached it.

+ Q.

How old were you when you first awakened? A.

I am 21 years old summer.

So 11 years have already passed.

Q.

Seeing you remember the seasons accurately, you have a really good memory.

A.

I never really thought that my memory was good.

Simply, the day I woke up was my birthday.

June 7th, 11 years ago.

So remember.

Q.

You woke up on your birthday.

What happened then? A.

It was on the first floor of the tower.

I don't intend to say more than that.

It's privacy.

+ In a way, an ordinary interview.

But...

it was a very valuable hint for me.

“Wow, Mr.

Wait a minute.

really? Could this be real?”

There was a way.

How to kill the number 1 hunter in the world.

It's never easy, and when other people hear it, they'll call you crazy.

But at the same time, the only way to get rid of the salt came to mind.

As an F-class hunter, it was something that even me, who was only at the end, could do.

'You can really get revenge!' That was the time.

“Fire!”

There was a commotion outside the window.

I opened the window to see what was going on.

Red smoke was rising from the other side of the town.

Residents came out into the alleys and chattered loudly.

"Oh.

What to do with that, oh my!”

“Don’t do this here, let’s put out the fire!”

“That’s right!”

Residents rushed in.

The place where I live was different from the 'outside world'.

People who set foot in the tower to become hunters.

A city built by such residents, the first floor of the tower.

The city has various names.

Some called Babylon, others called Hell.

There were hunters who simply called the '1st floor city', and there were those who called it the old-fashioned city of Deungcheon.

It must be because all kinds of races from all over the world have gathered.

Most of the people living here were Hunters.

Like it or not, I have experienced a life crisis.

When a crisis struck, I thought I was able to move faster than humans in the outside world.

I also quickly left my room and intervened in the firefighting procession of the residents.

'crazy.' I checked the time on my smartphone.

It's been 24 hours since I died and returned to the dynasty.

It coincided with the time when Yeomje killed the saint.

In other words···.

'It's a disease! The plague has set the fire! Trying to destroy the evidence!' Salt water flow.

He was a real devilish bastard.

2.

The vigilantes had already arrived at the scene.

The hunters of the giant guild also arrived one after another.

Normally, they growled and raised their claws, but now that a firestorm has struck, everyone has joined forces.

“Water powers don’t use their skills alone!”

“Yeah, just on time! Yes!" “This place is temporarily commanded by the Black Dragon Guild! Please follow the command of the Black Dragon for a moment, everyone!”

Hunters that are usually difficult to see without a newspaper.

There were also two or three top rankers, but they showed their faces.

I secretly stalked the rankers while helping other villagers.

“Okay, once the surrounding isolation has been completed.

The question is whether there are any survivors inside...

I think we need to send a rescue team quickly.”

Ranked 5th.

The head of the guild of doctors and pharmacists, the lord of the pension province.

"Okay.

This place used to be a slum.

It's a place where no one has been living since 5 years ago, so entry is not allowed.

Fortunately, there was a fire in a place like this.”

Ranking 10th.

A vigilante leader in charge of policing the city, a paladin.

Hunters who are famous for helping others.

Among the top rankers, they were people who did not play with Dokgodai.

Arrived earlier than anyone else and was in charge of the scene.

'Originally, there should be a saint in the middle, but...' But the saint was nowhere to be seen.

It was natural.

Because she was murdered by a dokgo-dai, the most ignorant of the dokgo-dais.

There will be only two people in the world who know this, Yeomje and I.

The truth that even the top rankers don't know yet...

No.

Perhaps it was a truth that we would never know in the future.

Alchemist Seongju looked around.

“It’s strange.

Why hasn't the saint come yet...?" “He said something was going on tonight.

I don't know, maybe it's not a date." The 10th ranked hunter and paladin laughed.

“These days, he spends a lot of time with Yeomje.”

“...that man named Yeomje, I don’t like it.”

Alchemist Seongju shrugged his shoulders.

“I might say that I feel a little bad….

It wouldn't be polite to gossip in a place like this.

Still, I think Seongnyeo needs to find a better person.”

“Your eyes are too high.

Who the hell are you talking about dating a guy who is better than No.

1 on the rankings? So you are still an old virgin.”

"I don't care how old you are...

If you're in your late 30s, you're still safe..." Even a tiger will come if I speak.

“It’s salty!”

People who were helping with the firefighting work stopped for a moment.

The top rankers also turned their heads.

There, in a hoodie and sweatpants, there was a flame, no, a flame, wandering around.

Yeombyeong made a face of inexorably annoyance.

"Hey.

Seed.

Who played with fire without my permission?”

You crazy psychopath.

“Welcome, Yeomje.”

"OK.

Brother, you are here.”

“As you can see, there was an arson in the old slum district.

Can you help me?”

The paladin said politely.

However, the flames were bitter.

“If you help me, what do I get?”

“I get a sense of pride that I helped a lot of people for free.”

“Oh, stop talking bullshit.

Show me what you will give me.”

“Tomorrow, an article titled [Fire-fighting flames, doing great deeds] will be published in media outlets and broadcasters around the world.

You can give the world a fresh impact while improving your image.”

"Pooh." Yeomje poked her hand in her pants pocket and laughed.

“Have I ever noticed giraffes?”

He was a really crazy tortoise.

Residents already took out their phones and filmed the flame.

The expression and words of the flame must have been sent to the world in real time.

The Internet must have been split into those who favor the flames and those who swear by it.

What do the proponents of the salt say? -then.

Self-interest should be defended like a sword.

-If you help people for free, that's hogu.

- Even if you become a hero, you are still honest, so it's nice to see you.

My mind went numb.

'Nobody knows.' It was so frightening that my spine became cold.

'That's not honest.

That guy...

he's just crazy.

It's crazy.' Fireworks flew nearby, but my heart was cold.

this flame.

this fire.

All these disasters were caused by the Emperor himself.

Still, he returned with a normal face and asked, 'What are you going to give me?' I was finally convinced.

'That guy must be gone!' monster.

It wasn't just for my revenge.

for mankind.

Even for the honor of the Hunter, that monster should have been eradicated.

A monster is a monster Catching monsters is the job and mission of our hunters, isn't it? 'It must be killed by any means and methods.' In this tower lived a monster that flew flames.

okay.

It was.

But simply saying 'there was' was inappropriate.

It was inappropriate for a while.

Because that monster was my prey.

'Even if I die.' moved the steps.

thump.

Bypassing the heroes who are thinking about after-the-fact measures.

Passing by ordinary people trying to catch a fire.

I walked towards the ever-rising flames, towards the flames burning like hell.

"Huh? Wait.

Where are you going?" walked away “There, brother! Don't get too close!" walked away "Oh! That man must be crazy!”

“Someone stop me!”

“Fuck you, you crazy!?”

and ran People screamed behind my back.

There was someone rolling their feet.

There were people shouting while working on evolution.

I ignored them all.

I ignored it and ran away.

'hot.' It was like hell.

Whoops! Flames flew out like red tongues everywhere.

'sick!' With every step I took, my flesh melted.

My pupils and the coatings on my eyes were burned to the brim.

But.

'It's better than being plagued by a plague!' This was the only way to kill the flame.

how much did you run It felt like it had run for a long time, but it felt like only one minute had passed.

My throat was choked by the smoke and I snorted, and when the snoring stopped, I heard a voice.

[You are dead.] Yes.

[Returns to 24 hours ago.] It was my second death.

3.

When they saw the day I jumped into the flames, people trembled, saying I was crazy.

Of course I didn't go crazy.

contrary.

He understood the situation very calmly.

"···I'm back." my hell.

My 3.5 pyeong single room.

Interview articles were stuck on the wall, and live broadcasts were played on TV.

It's already the third time I'm listening to a live broadcast.

- Breaking news.

The Black Dragon Guild set out to attack the 40th floor of the tower...

It was back to yesterday.

'great.

The skill works properly.' Unlike last time, I didn't pay attention to the TV.

no need to give The ability to revert to 24 hours ago is working properly.

I just had to be sure of this.

With just this, you can kill the salt agent.

[Currently, your Hunter rank is F.] [No penalty due to skills.] “Of course.”

I murmured.

'Regressor's Clockwork...

He said that the higher the hunter rank, the stronger the penalty.' Conversely, if the Hunter rank crawls to the bottom, there is no penalty.

If you are an F-class like me, there is no penalty yet.

'Now is your chance.' Right now, when I'm still in F-class.

The only golden chance to hunt a flame.

'This is my last chance.' I took the knife out of my backpack.

old knife.

It was a dagger that I had kept since I started working as a hunter.

Although it can no longer be used to hunt monsters...

it was sharp enough to kill people.

'How to kill the flame.' I kept thinking.

'Cooperating with a saint who hasn't died yet? After revealing and proving my abilities to the Black Dragon Guild, devise a scheme to imprison the Flame Emperor forever? Or is it that the scene where Yeomje kills the saint is secretly filmed and stabbed by the broadcaster?' Either way was fine.

But it's just fine.

I couldn't send the salt to the goal with 100% certainty.

'Because I don't have the track record to make me believe in a saint.' there was no performance 'Because I don't have the strength to not be ripped off by the guild.' there was no power 'Because I don't have the confidence to succeed in filming secretly.' himself was not 'But···.' I also had something like that.

'When you die, you go back to 24 hours ago.' skill.

A regressor's clock that was copied from the flame.

'okay.

There are skills.' 'Don't worry, Gongja Kim.

can do.' gulp.

I looked at the wall one last time.

The contents of the interview with the reporter of the magazine, Yoo Su-ha, were written there.

+ Q.

How old were you when you first awakened? A.

I am 21 years old summer.

So 11 years have already passed.

Q.

Seeing you remember the seasons accurately, you have a really good memory.

A.

I never really thought that my memory was good.

Simply, the day I woke up was my birthday.

June 7th, 11 years ago.

So remember.

+ '11 years.' June 7th, 11 years ago.

summer.

If you count backwards from today.

'4050 days.' Yes.

'If you die 4050 times.' That's the only way to kill the salt agent.

'Sooha Yoo.' 'If you kill a monster that doesn't die.' I raised my sword high.

'I'll kill you before I become a monster!' And stabbed me in the neck.

to go back to the past.

June 7th, 11 years ago.

A time when Yeosu-ha, the flame emperor, had not yet awakened his skills.

To go back to that summer, when I didn't have the ability to return to 24 hours ago when I die.

To go back to the past when I was still able to kill the Flame Emperor! “Uh...!”

It was hot.

It hurt.

My heart was pounding like crazy.

The nerves all over the body screamed.

I couldn't see anything, I couldn't feel anything.

But a voice was heard.

[You are dead.] [Returns to 24 hours ago.] I go back to the day before.

The day before, I was lying in bed.

The TV was also off.

However, the newspaper scraps stuck to the wall were still there.

Just returning one more day could not erase the history of the flames and the legend of that madman.

I stared at Yoo Soo-ha's picture.

'Does not matter.' A week if one day is not enough.

If a week is not enough, one month.

If one month is not enough, one year.

If one year isn't enough.

"Ego." I pulled out the dagger again.

“It is now 4049 days.”

And stabbed me 5.
