A Monster Hunter Born of Capitalism

2. Become a Hunter (2)

“I wish I was a hunter, too!”

I muttered as I saw Yooseong's strong hunter on TV.

Yooseong also wanted to be a hunter. I wanted revenge on the monster who killed my parents, and I wanted to become a hunter and live a better life than I do now.

But he didn't want to be a hunter. Becoming a hunter is the choice of the gods. The gods chose to go to another world, and I had to meet a fairy there to help Hunter to become strong.

Moreover, Hunters are said to grow faster and stronger than the inhabitants of this world by receiving God's blessing or whatever. As long as I was chosen by the gods to become a hunter, from then on, I was as good as dead.

There was no problem living and eating among the hunters, just the well-known Class E Hunters. I didn't want to become a strong SSS-grade hunter, so Yooseong wanted to become a hunter.

Knock, knock!

The phone rang.

“Who is it?”

When I looked at my phone, the familiar name floated.

When will you be back? I'll forget my face!]

It was a text from Eun-ari, my sister who grew up at the orphanage. Yooseong checked the letters and tapped the keyboard.

[Go on weekends.]

I responded within a minute after touching the send button.

[Really? Then I'll wait with the kids.]

Eun-ari replied with a rabbit-shaped emoticon with her eyes wide open to him.

Meteor saw the emoticon and burst into laughter.

“I have to go. ”

The boys at the orphanage seemed quite excited. Since I had been to the nursing home for a while, it was natural for my younger siblings to do that.

“Then I'll go to the market tomorrow and buy some gifts and toys at the department store. ”

I went to the market early in the morning to buy groceries for my younger siblings, and I had to go to a department store to buy gifts. It was going to be a pretty busy weekend. Yooseong turned off the TV and closed his eyes.

I was so sleepy that I closed my eyes. Yooseong soon fell into a deep sleep.

* * *

[Hey, hey! Is it true you're sleeping now?]

[Are you really asleep?]

[Can you sleep in this situation?]

“Why is it so noisy.... ”

There was a strange voice ringing in my ears. It was a voice that seemed to have voice-wear on.

‘Oh, here they come again. Every fucking morning. ’

He stretched out his arms to pull the duvet, thinking that drunk college students would make a loud noise in the alley. But I couldn't find my duvet. I caught something hard and cold instead of a blanket.

“What the hell……. ”

Yooseong woke up, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

“What's going on here? ”

When I saw the sights in front of me, the lock fled. It was fucked up.

There's a dead body in front of you. There were more than one or two bodies. The bodies of people in suits of designs that were unusual to see in the movies were in plain sight.

“Am I dreaming? ”

I wanted to think that this was the Lucid dream I had just heard, but Yooseong tried to pinch his arm. But I couldn't pinch my arm. Yooseong was also wearing a robotic suit like the dead.

[Goddess of jest: Did you fall asleep in that situation?]

I saw strange letters in front of his eyes. It was a window similar to the chat window you see in the game, and the window had the phrase "goddess of jest" written on it.

“Am I being kidnapped into the virtual world? ”

Yooseong muttered to himself, dumbfounded. Then the words written in front of my eyes were renewed.

[Goddess of Joke: It's not a game! It's real!]

You're screwed. Blah blah]

What do you mean, it's endless?

Yooseong, who saw the chat of the playful goddess, told the playful goddess.

“Wait! What's broken? Explain yourself! ”

[Goddess of Joke: Your Support Nymph is ruined. (Beeping)

I heard his voice again. It sounded like a ruse.

“Hey...... Is this Yooseong Han? ”

You turn your head, and the little elf reveals himself. She was a fairy with silver hair like platinum in an emerald dress. The doll-like size and eyewear were quite cute. And silver hair like platinum made me feel cute and mysterious.

“That's right.”

As he replied, I heard a tricky voice again.

“I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!”

I started to feel anxious for some reason.

“Are you... a fairy?" ”

“Yes, that's right. I'm Titania, a support fairy from Han Yooseong. ”

The fairy was like Hunter's partner. The fact that the elf spoke meant he was elected a hunter.

“So I became a hunter? ”

I asked him carefully.

“Yes, that's right. Yes... ”

Titania gives you a blurry answer. Titania's voice is filled with anxiety.

‘This feels cheap...... ’

Suddenly I felt cheap. It was ominous. I felt more uncertain about who I was than the joy of becoming a hunter.

“That's right...? ”

“I've made enough mistakes. ”

“Ah……. ”

Anxious thoughts always fit together.

“Can you explain that to me first? Where the hell are we? What kind of mistake did you make? ”

He calmly asked Titania for an explanation.

“Ugh…. ”

Titania writhes and opens her mouth.

“This is a planet called Caden. ”

“Kaden? Where else? Aren't hunters going to Estelle or Jell-O? ”

“Yooseong is right... I mean... I mean... ”

Titania is blurry again.

“So first of all, what kind of mistake did you make? ”

“I set the coordinates incorrectly and also……. ”

“Again?"

“The transition failed. ”

Fairies are frightening and stupid. [Laughs]

The goddess of jest starts chatting like she's laughing at Titania.

[Fairy Goddess of Practice: I live my life and spring into the light like a fairy.]

Fairy Goddess: I don't manage fairies directly.]

Nymph King: I did it right.]

[Goddess of Practice: No Gas.]

[Nymph King: It's true…….]

Another person has been added to the chat window. This time there was also a chat with someone called the Fairy King.

Based on Titanian words containing the words "wrong" and "failure" and the chat by the goddess of pranks in the chat window, something clearly went wrong.

“Can you elaborate? I have no idea what you're talking about. ”

“Yooseong was originally supposed to go to Estel. So I set the coordinates to send Yooseong to Estelle, but I made a mistake and went to Kaden. ”

“So, what's the fallout? ”

“The transition is literally a different dimension for Yooseong, but I set the coordinates incorrectly and the transition failed. ”

“What specifically is wrong? ”

“In fact, this is a parallel world with Earth. ”

Parallel worlds. I've heard of them. It was something that used to be said in movies or cartoons. A similar but slightly different world, originally located on parallel lines of the world, was parallel.

“There was another Yooseong in the parallel world. He's dead now.”

“Ah……. ”

Unfortunately, the meteors in the parallel world seemed to be dead. When I heard that Yooseong had died in the parallel world, I felt strange.

[Goddess of Practice: No need to worry. Looks to me like you're coming, too. [Laughs]

The goddess of jest said that she scratched his insides, but ignored him.

“That was me, wasn't it? It failed. The cause of the failure was Yooseong in the parallel world. The coordinates that I set by mistake were Yooseong from the parallel world. ”

“So?”

“Yooseong and Yooseong from the parallel world. The coordinates of the two objects overlapped and became one. ”

“Now, wait a minute! What, so you're saying I blended in with me in the parallel world? ”

“Yes, there should be two consciousness in one body as two Yooseong overlap. It's because the body is a shell, but the soul is different. Two souls coexist in one body. Unfortunately, while the two meteors were mixing, Yooseong in the parallel world died. He was in shock when this plane crashed. ”

“Ha……. ”

I don't know if I should call this a good thing. I don't know what it's like to have two souls in one body, but it's not that comfortable.

Yooseong thought so, but once again, chat appeared in the chat window.

[Nymph King: But thank God. It's usually crazy to have multiple souls in one body. because he kept hearing strange voices and his body wouldn't listen.]

On hearing the fairy king's words, it seems as if the parallel worlds themselves were lucky to be dead.

“First of all, there's nothing wrong with my body, right? ”

“There are no physical problems. The difference is that the body and the vessel of his soul doubled as they became one body. because there is only one soul in the body where the two souls will enter. Even if you are attacked by spiritual or mental interference, you will be able to do less damage or recover quickly. ”

Cheese coming. Balance Patch Gazá!]

"What the fuck is a cheese? My head is killing me. ’

The goddess of jest kept scratching the insides of Yooseong. How would a streamer feel watching malicious viewers chat on an internet broadcast?

Yooseong pledged never to bother the streamers again.

“So what do I do now? I heard that the Support Nymphs will help Hunter train or become stronger... ”

“I wish I could help, but it's hard here.... ”

“Yes? What do you mean, difficult? ”

“There is no magic or shamanism in this world. ”

“ ……. ”

I did it, didn't I? You're fucked.

The goddess of jest keeps you quiet, but she doesn't say anything wrong.

“Are you serious? No magic and no masonry? It's an otherworld.”
