The Player Who Returned From The Apocalypse

Chapter 18

Class 11 D gate.

It was already open.

The police were hitting the police line and guarding against the general public. And there were three people sitting in front of it.

“Ah, it’s insanely difficult to enter a gate. Sir, are you still far away?”

Park Young-gil asked the other party members.

Currently, they are looking for other hunters. But, as always, it wasn’t easy to find.

Even so, when it is a D-class hunter, it is usually taken from the guild. And they had a party and challenged themselves, but it didn’t come well with this kind of public party.

So, the fixed status like now was continued.

“Why? Is it hard?”

“No, even if it’s not good, the shikis haven’t turned around several times already. It’s resentful to think about doing it again.”

“…Young-gil.”

Youngshin Lee, who was listening quietly, took out a sword from his inventory.

Park Young-gil said that he knew for a moment that he had done something wrong and stepped back.

“Yes, sir.”

“Bring your tools. You got a bite.”

“Oh, I’m here. I thought I was waiting for Dizzy. What kind of guy is it?”

“One large and one medium-sized. Still, it’s a title I’ve never seen before, so don’t be vigilant…”

[ Kim Seong-jin (Hero, Lv140) has applied for a party. Accept? ]

Lee Young-shin re-read the system message he had received and spoke quietly.

“Hunting carefully.”

***

“Sungjin Hunter. This is it.”

“Oh, I’m coming over there. Come quickly!”

“Oh, yes. I’m going.”

When Seongjin arrived in front of the gate, Youngshin Lee and Younggil Park came first to greet them. Maybe it’s something you’ve been looking around for here.

Sungjin ran to their side.

“I’m Seongjin Kim. I’m sorry I’m late.”

“It looks like you’ve been on the road for a while, it’s fine.”

“Yes. Besides, it’s the first time we’ve heard of it, isn’t it? We’ll teach you little by little.”

When it comes to grade D, the name is known in the industry to some extent.

Especially for a unique person who works alone like Sungjin. It’s a talent that the guild wants to capture, and above all else, it’s because it’s so noticeable.

Of course, it is possible to have experience by being promoted from E to D, but Seongjin’s level was high enough to say that.

– Freshly Awakened Beginner

It was normal to think that I was at this level since Awakened.

“Come over here. Let me introduce you to another party member.”

The leader of the party, Lee Young-shin, said so and introduced the people who were sitting quietly near the gate.

Da-eun Lee, a female hunter and not affiliated with a guild like Seong-jin. And it was Choi Kun-woo, the companion of Lee Young-shin and Park Young-gil.

It was a fairly stable party with a total of five people including myself.

‘You were here.’

Among them, Seong-jin’s eyes fell on Choi Geon-woo first. It was a little bit different from her memories and was lively. No tattoos, no scars on her body.

However, he was definitely right for the size that was hard to see as a Korean, like the lumpy muscles of his body.

“Then I want to decide on a position. I’ve seen Seongjin’s title, but honestly, it’s the first title I’ve ever seen, so I don’t know what to do.”

“That’s right. You just use a sword, so you can do it with a avant-garde.”

Seongjin said as he pulled out her sword from the inventory.

In fact, she can take any position, but if possible, she wants to be in the same place with Choi Geon-woo, so she chose avant-garde.

“It’s a magic long sword. You use a good one.”

“You seem to recognize it just by looking at it. This time, it’s the sword my father bought me, but it seems to be famous.”

“That’s right. It’s an item I haven’t bought yet. I’m envious of you taking good care of your parents.”

Lee Young-shin saw Seong-jin’s sword and hit it right away.

This time, it was a newly purchased item from the D-grade shop. It had a good ability to accept magic and was much sharper and harder than an ordinary iron sword, so it could be usefully used.

And it was that expensive.

‘Because it’s not easy to earn 50,000 points.’

Although the amount of points that Seong-jin has earned so far was not very small, it was burdensome for her.

However, as her magical power increased, her existing swords could not accept it, so she just bought one. After a while, if you no longer need it, you could just sell it.

It’s annoying to have to deal directly, but if you resell it, you could think of as little as a few hundred or even as high as 10 million won.

‘And when this is enough, these guys will bite.’

“…Then the positions are in the vanguard, Seongjin and Gunwoo, and I will help if there are dangerous people in the lieutenant. Any questions?”

there can be no It had been a while since the gate had opened, so I just wanted to get in as quickly as possible.

“Then let’s go in. Please take out your Hunter ID and ID.”

As we headed to the gate, the police came and gave us a Hunter ID and ID. And they contrasted it one by one.

Even though it wasn’t his turn, Sungjin watched the scene closely.

“Looks like you’ve updated your photos recently,” she said.

“Yes. I have a business to stop by the office for a while.”

Usually, if you compare the photo on your ID with the actual photo, there are many cases where it doesn’t seem right.

But they all nodded because they were so clearly the same.

“…Yes. Everything is fine. You may enter.”

“thank you.”

Leaving their ID and Hunter ID to the police, the party entered the gate.

Soon after, a familiar system message appeared in front of me.

[ You have entered the D-class gate. ][ Defeat all monsters. ][ Defeat all enemies. ][ Reach the end of the gate. ]

The surroundings are dark and the ground is damp and damp. When I looked up at the sky, I could see starlight. Because it was night, the slight cold made my body tremble.

There were black trees next to them, and the huge ones made me feel like the Amazon.

“I heard that the D-class gate is something special, but it’s okay.”

Seeing the clear conditions that are not very different from other gates, Da-eun Lee said with a grin.

“It seems that’s the first time.”

“Yes. But please don’t ignore it. I’m level 189. I’ll get out of this void soon and join a famous guild.”

At Seongjin’s words, Da-eun spoke as if it were a good idea.

It’s definitely good to have a higher level.

But what matters at the gate is your career. Knowing the basics, knowing and using the monster’s information, and not knowing, improvisation and analysis ability, and the ability and strength to overcome it were needed.

‘It’s annoying when someone like this is involved.’

Using her own level as an excuse, she often ignored and did not give preference to those with experience. She is a very tired person.

“Oh, it’s terribly frustrating. Hurry up and go! Can’t you see I’m late because of you!”

“Yeah, I’m going.”

When Lee Young-sil shouted nervously, only then did she begin to move. She was hanging around alone while others quickly took the position.

Da-eun Lee took a seat and looked around her, and her party confirmed the given mission.

She said, “I don’t think there will be any disagreement about the conditions for clearing it. I think it’s no different than just clearing an ordinary gate.”

“Maybe that’s what you thought. The problem is that you don’t know if you should go to Ude, you’ll find out when you catch a monster.”

The party proceeded with the meeting without taking their eyes off the surroundings. Mainly Lee Young-shin and Park Young-gil led this because they had the most experience and he was the party leader.

Even Lee Da-eun, who was pretending to be handsome, did not join in their conversation.

Of course, Sungjin was an exception.

“The problem is this. Dealing with monsters and dealing with enemies. Why does it mean the same thing twice?”

“Well….”

At Seongjin’s words, the group shut their mouths. It was a very minor point, but it was hard to understand that the same meaning appeared twice.

“It’s not uncommon for this to happen. I’ve gotten duplicate messages from time to time.”

“…is that so?”

“Yeah. It’s okay to just skip it.”

Of course, it’s a minor issue. But to the best of my knowledge, I’ve never heard of duplicate messages.

Rather, this message had to be interpreted well.

However, Lee Young-shin just passed this on, not like a professional.

“Then, I think that there is no difference from a normal gate, and let’s go.”

Following the words of the party leader, Young-Shin Lee, he resumed his formation and walked. There was no benefit to delaying any longer than this.

This gate was quite delayed, so we had to proceed rather quickly. Seong-jin said while looking at Choi Geon-woo, who was quietly walking next to him.

“It’s the same avant-garde position, so please take care of it.”

“Yes. Thank you. And, be careful.”

Sungjin laughed at his words. Silence was still there.

He was not very talkative and had a lot of worries. Contrary to his appearance, he was also shy, so it was rare to hear those words.

‘I wish we could be friends again this time.’

That’s why I came here.

Sungjin kept talking to him. Although the answer was baffling and the conversation didn’t go well, he was listening to what he had to say.

Conversations with him were always like this. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t like it.

He’s just a guy who tends to listen rather than talk when he’s having a conversation.

“-And by the way. How much has the item price jumped these days…”

Seongjin said that and paused for a moment.

Then he reached out his hand to prevent Geon-woo from going forward.

“It’s a monster. Please stop.”

At Seongjin’s words, everyone held their breath and lowered their posture.

“Huh? What? Whoop!”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

No, not all. Da-eun Lee stood still.

So Park Young-gil, who was next to him, forcibly threw it on the ground.

“You found it well. Did you check what kind of monster it was?”

“Slightly to the left is Lizardman. The number is seven, and if you focus your magic on your eyes, you will see it.”

When Sungjin pointed a finger and spoke, everyone turned to look in that direction.

“You’re good at detecting magic. I didn’t know you could find it faster than a wizard.”

“It’s because I have a bit of intelligence. I want to become a wizard, but what do I do if the title doesn’t come with me?”

The ability to detect magic is a basic skill, but the range and accuracy vary depending on the user’s intelligence.

So, if there is no scout, the wizard usually detects it, but when Seong-jin detects it first, Young-shin Lee was surprised. And as he said, he focused his magic on his eyes and observed the Lizardman.

“Weapons are scimitar, shield, staff… First of all, since the staff seems to be a wizard, let’s kill them first. After that, it’s free, but if possible, avoid the one with the shield-”

Whoops.

While saying that, a bright red flame blazed up next to him.

Lee Young-shin looked at the flame, thinking that he might have been caught by the flame that was rising next to him during the conversation.

“Look carefully. This is my skill.”

“Hey, you crazy-!”

That thought was wrong.

It was not the Lizardmen who used fire magic.

It was the magic used by his colleague, Da-eun Lee.

– Fireball

bang! The flame flew through the sky and landed where the Lizard Man was. And I baked a Lizardman with a shield.

However, even though he was burned, he did not die, perhaps because he had blocked even that with his shield.

The first surprise was a failure.

“Sibang, what is this?”

In the midst of everyone’s absurdity, Da-eun Lee straightened her waist and held out her chest and said confidently.

“How about it? My magic made one of them into a dying status.”

“You bastard! I told you to kill the wizard first, didn’t you? Besides, why the fireball?”

“…Is it cool?”

“Aww!”

Karuk, food!

The Lizardmen began to move.

The Lizardman’s weakness was that he had bad eyesight. So, if he sneaks from a distance, he can grab half of the number and fight, but the fireball that Da-eun Lee used taught them all the positions they were in.

‘Looking this way, he is a wise man.’

He said.

When there are five people, there is always one trash.
