A message about the end of the survival quest appeared along with the message to end the battle.

A huge amount of experience and points.

It was a number that could not be considered a reward for completing the E-grade gate.

“Good.”

as planned

Level 99 when I first entered this place. Level D was just before level 100. And if you level up, the amount of experience and points you get from hunting lower grades will drop sharply.

So I thought.

– Wouldn’t it be better to drive and get it without leveling up?

The experience is given only after the system determines that the battle is over.

If so, wouldn’t it be possible to get as much experience and points as possible by fighting non-stop when you’re at E rank?

Of course, I didn’t think of it in the first place. Theoretically possible, but continued battles with monsters were required. No matter how many monsters the Hunter Gate was, it was impossible.

However, whether lucky or bad, he fell into the middle of the group of orcs that lived in the largest group among E-class monsters.

It was also a group led by a boss monster.

‘The level of the skill has risen a lot, and I also got the magic detection skill.’

Magic is the energy that all hunters and monsters possess. It was possible to strengthen the body, weapons, and skills. Some skills, especially magic, required magical power to activate the skill.

And the skill required to use it was magic detection. It is a skill that is automatically acquired when you become a D-class hunter, so it was not purchased at the skill store.

‘Now I can learn and use skills properly.’

A twinkle flickered in Sungjin’s eyes. Now you can use magic to see the grain.

The oblique lines of the surrounding objects were seen more clearly from farther away.

It was the effect of being able to use the body’s mana through the effect of detecting mana.

” Status window.”

Name: Kim Seong-jin

Title: Hero, Invader

Level: 140

Strength: 130 (+26) Agility: 125 (+25)

Health: 112 (+22) Intelligence: 104

Wisdom: 115 Spirit: 210

Status: Minor

Sungjin then checked her Status window to see the increased stats. She has significantly increased her abilities.

It was the effect of all her stat rewards obtained by clearing the gate. She also contributed to the amount of stat increase per her level up.

After level 100, her stats increase by 2, so even though the level has gone up less than before, the increase in stats that would be similar was about the same.

This is also the case thereafter. The increase in her stats increases by 1 for every 100 units. And this made the difference between high-ranking and low-level hunters even greater.

Most of all, all the stats increased by 35.

“Did the level rise and the increased stats increase mainly in strength and agility?”

Her stamina hardly increased, either, but her mental stats, intelligence, wisdom, and mental strength, did not go up.

Initially this may be fine, but considering the problems later on, it is not good.

These stats are closely related to magic.

– As wisdom increases, the amount of magic power increases.

– As intelligence increases, the quality of magic power increases.

– As the mental power goes up, the control power of magic power goes up.

It was the result of a study on the effect of stats in the future.

Considering how much magical power affects the subsequent use of the Hunter’s power, it was dangerous not to rise.

‘Because I haven’t used magic until now.’

In the first place, the mental stat itself was not that low, so it would be fine.

Thanks to all the stat increase rewards, the difference between physical stats and mental stats wasn’t too big either. You can upload it from now on.

“From now on, I’ll have to make full use of my magic.”

Then, the surrounding environment changed. It was the black room where I first entered the gate.

And a familiar system message appeared in front of me.

[ The field changes. ][Please select a quest][ 1. Survival (requires 0 Manastones of the corresponding gate grade) ][ 2. Return (requires 0 Manastones of the corresponding gate grade) ][ 3. Escape (requires 100 Manastones of the corresponding gate grade) ][4. შეხვედრა (საჭიროა 500 გრადუსიანი ქვები შესაბამისი კლასის)]

I really thought that the system message was one step late, so I waited until all the contents came out without skipping over it this time.

Then I saw the last quest.

“What?”

A strange character that looks like a bug. I’ve never seen such a case before. Unreadable characters.

However, the approximate content could be inferred by looking at the quest above.

“Are 500 Manastones?”

The number of Mana Stones required to receive the quest would be about that.

It’s new and it’s an anomaly, so I also wanted to check it out.

But the ability itself was not enough for that.

Seongjin checked the number of Manastones in his inventory.

[ Grade E Manastone (314) ]

not long enough This time, it is a Manastone obtained by killing an Orc. Therefore, even though he had acquired more Mana Stones than ever before, the number was not enough.

No, I couldn’t use these precious mana stones here in the first place.

E-class mana stones cost 200,000 won each. If that’s 500, that’s 100 million.

It would be ridiculous money to get a seat later, but now I have to pay for my mother’s hospital bills and relieve the burden on my working father.

“It’s embarrassing, but I can’t help it.”

I forgot to receive the quest for the first time, so I couldn’t check if it was there since I first entered. The escape quest was also unknown, but that was more of a concern.

Seong-jin turned away from the unknown red letter indicating that she could not choose, and told the quest that the only white letter was indicated.

“return.”

[You have chosen to return the quest. ][ Confirm the completion of the survival quest, no manastone is required. ][ Do you want to go to the place just before entering the gate? ]

This time, it’s a familiar message, nothing special.

Seongjin read it carefully and said without hesitation.

“Move.”

[You have completed the return of the quest. ][ 314 points of invasion have been accumulated. ]

But after that, an unfamiliar system message appeared.

“what?”

He screamed in embarrassment at the message he did not know, but he could not proceed with his thoughts because his body disappeared.

After Seongjin disappeared like that.

Chi-jik, Chi-jik-

System messages recorded in the quest log were shaken.

Then the text changed.

[ 4. Tangent line ]

pick-

And the system message changed to the original text disappeared after a while.

It happened while Sungjin was returning home.

***

“Why? Do you have any concerns?”

Sung-jin’s father, Kim Jeong-ho, asked her not to eat. Today too, I ate the breakfast that Sungjin made, because I was eating very slowly without thinking about anything else.

“Oh, no, it’s not a big deal.”

Saying that, Sungjin quickly grabbed her meat and ate it. As expected by Jung-ho Kim, Sung-jin was thinking differently.

Last evening, she saw a mysterious system message while clearing the E-class Hunter Gate.

I woke up early this morning and tried to crack it through the system log. Because she thought it might be a text she didn’t know.

But when I woke up in the morning, her 4th quest was coming, but it was gone.

‘Still, I found out what the point of aggression was… .’

She was able to figure it out by manipulating the Hunter system a bit.

It was one of the currencies of the newly acquired Hunter system.

She opened the shop just in case, and various items that can be purchased with invasion points were added.

It is also a much better item than the items that can be purchased with hunting points.

‘After all, this Hunter Gate needs to be explored.’

I couldn’t use this before Return. So Sungjin thought about using it actively and at the same time thinking about finding out about it.

“You seem to be having some trouble, isn’t Hunter’s job not going well?”

“Yes? Oh, no.”

“Isn’t that what it is? Wasn’t it a job that didn’t match your aptitude anyway? Why don’t you just study too? You dreamed of becoming a civil servant?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Dad said with a worried expression.

She even spent her college tuition, which was attached to her after her mother was bedridden. Then he said that he would take the civil service exam later, but it seemed to remain in his father’s memory.

And now it seemed to make the parents think that they were interfering with their children’s future.

‘… I’ve caused you little concern.’

He didn’t tell me he had a grade-up when he bought me meat. It was too fast, so I thought I’d take it slow.

So I just said that the pay was good that day. Dad didn’t even seem to believe it.

“Hunter’s job is fine. I’ve raised that level a lot. Is there anyone who wants to have a party with me right now?”

“I checked everything too. Did you say you were kicked out of the existing party?”

“…Yes?”

Father said so and held out his smartphone. A text similar to the text received immediately after Return was written on his father’s smartphone.

It seems that he also contacted his father.

‘What do we do?’

It’s easy to fool around.

But only then the father’s worries remain. That can be too much work.

He was thinking so.

– smart.

A knock was heard at the front door.

‘Who is it?’

It’s still early in the morning. No one came to mind at this hour.

“I’m not going out. You’re eating.”

“Yes.”

Fortunately, the flow of conversation was cut off. In the meantime, you have to think about what to say to your father. Naturally, if you introduce a fake party member… .

“I’m sorry. Is this Kim Seong-jin’s house over there?”

That thought didn’t last long. A familiar voice came from the front door.

Sungjin stood up at the voice and turned his head to say.

“Huh? How do you feel?”

“Ah, you’ve come to the right place. Good morning. Sungjin-san. Is it okay if we go around the gate together today?”

It was Lee Sang-soo, a hunter who cleared the E-grade gate together yesterday.

At Lee Sang-soo’s words, his father closed his eyes and said,

“You really saved a party member.”

At the words of his happy father, Sungjin looked at Lee Sang-soo for a moment and nodded.

She saved a fake party member.
