The Player Who Returned From The Apocalypse

Chapter 26

“Where are you?”

Sungjin entered the crack and looked around.

She couldn’t see anything around her, centered on where she was.

It was like a crater formed by a huge explosion, a place that corresponds to the center.

Still, if you looked far away, you could see something like vegetation.

“It’s a little strange to be in the gate… isn’t it?”

He would be the one who best reads the atmosphere of the gate in this world.

The ominous feeling of the gates and the wave of shaky power she knows best herself.

But it was different here.

As if in the real world, stable magic was felt.

[ Please feel free to engage in activities during the remaining time. ][ If you catch a monster, the remaining time increases. ][ Retention time: 1:59:59 ]

Finally, a system message appeared.

However, the message that appeared this time was very different from the previous one.

“What’s the quest content?”

Just act freely.

That was it.

There is a time limit called remaining time, but there was no instruction on what to do during that time.

I knew the system message was silent, but this time it wasn’t too bad.

Sungjin clicked her tongue and looked around her further.

She investigated this once she got out of the crater she is now on her own.

A piece of cloth is visible.

Something like scales and something like a broken pot are buried in the ground.

‘Who used to live here?’

Little by little, traces of civilization come into view.

She digs it lightly, so it doesn’t look very old either.

Most were broken and broken, but some could be recycled.

It was in the meantime.

🤩

A hand protruded through the sand.

It wasn’t a human hand.

monster’s hand. It was also the hand of the Serpentman who had been killed at the gate a while ago.

And Sungjin saw this.

Scratch!

He reflexively swung his sword and cut it.

The severed Serpentman’s arm rolled into the crater.

It was cut off and the shoulder died, but blood leaked out from the rest of it.

[ The battle has ended. ][ Acquire 100 Hunting Points. ][ Acquire 1,000 experience points ][ Acquire 10P invasion points. ][ The remaining time is extended. ]

It wouldn’t have been fatal, but he died.

After all, they don’t live underground.

It was most likely buried for some reason.

And right before he died, he had to see that he had been attacked.

Seong-jin thought she was the lucky guy and confirmed her reward.

‘Everything else is the same, but it increases the additional invasion points and residence time.’

We learned about the invasion point last time.

It was a point where you could purchase various items at a much cheaper price than the hunting points.

There were a lot of items that even he had not seen even he had checked the S-grade shop.

But she couldn’t even buy it after seeing it.

The reason she had no choice but to do so was because she had very few points of aggression.

The invasion points she got were exactly the same as the number of monsters killed inside the Hunter Gate.

No matter how cheap they sold, even if they caught a lot of monsters at the gate, the income was not too good.

However, by catching one dying D-class monster, I got 10 points, which is ten times that number.

If there are a lot of monsters here and she can keep catching them, she might not even be able to purchase the items that she had marked with dots this time.

Maybe the quest’s reward itself was coming to this place.

‘Of course, it will not work out so smoothly.’

Sungjin checked the remaining time.

She had an hour longer residence time than she had previously checked.

She only killed one, but an hour.

This figure may have been less since she killed all the dying ones. It may vary depending on the type and grade of the monster.

These are all things to check.

However, it could be said that the increase in the current figure alone was shocking.

If you kill at least a D-class monster, you can secure a remaining time of at least one hour.

But it was also a risk.

Even if you hold it a little, the return time will be blown up.

There are many monsters in groups of more than 100.

If we say one hour per animal in general, more than one hundred hours.

It was possible to return to the original world by staying quiet for more than three days without hunting monsters.

“There’s a lot you need to know.”

Seong-jin mentally organized what he had to do in the future.

– What kind of place is this?

– Extension time, aggression points and the relationship between the hunted monsters.

– What kind of monsters are there and are there people?

And.

“This, that.”

After getting out of the crater completely, he looked back.

He thought when he came up.

maybe that’s it

A disaster that hasn’t happened a few times now, but happened simultaneously after that.

I was thinking that maybe that’s what’s spreading here.

And looking at it as a whole, I could be sure.

A huge hemispherical pit.

A deserted land within it.

If you look closely, you can see the carcasses of other monsters and animals, including Serpentman.

It is a gruesome sight.

And the reason I made this.

“Gate Break.”

It was the result of failing to clear the gate.

***

Seongjin walked carefully, leaving the traces of the gate break behind.

I couldn’t figure out where this place was.

“hot….”

The heat reminiscent of midsummer, and the uncomfortably high humidity.

And the very dense vegetation, perhaps due to their influence.

All I could see was green.

He didn’t even know if he was going the right way.

In such an environment, the stress index has definitely risen.

‘Besides, that guy is also a problem.’

oh oh oh oh!

A loud cry was heard.

Sungjin heard the sound and immediately climbed up the tree and hid.

thud. thud!

I hear footsteps hitting the ground.

And a monster the size of a tree appeared.

Ogre.

It is a monster that is placed above the C rank.

It is an individual that engages in individual activities, but it is that strong.

The leather was tough, so any attacks did not work, and its size and strength were hard to find even within the B-grade.

Of course, it’s not to the extent that you can’t face it right now.

Although it is still a D-grade, it has enough skills to compete with a B-grade.

He was confident enough to kill an ogre while playing with it.

However.

can’t fight

‘If you kill him, you don’t know how long the remaining time will be extended.’

High-grade monsters had to be avoided as long as they didn’t know how much the remaining time would increase.

If possible, I wanted to deal with E-class monsters first.

However, there were no monsters around because this was his territory.

Besides, perhaps knowing his location, the ogre kept chasing after him.

‘Because of this guy, other monsters might be running away.’

I was thinking of just killing it.

I checked the residence time in the corner of the field of view.

[ Retention time: 00:41:56 ]

original two hours.

As soon as I arrived, I killed one Serpentman and added an hour, so I had three hours to spare.

But now there was less than an hour left.

I wasted too much time chasing this guy.

It is good not to increase the residence time, but it is not good to be this small.

It was time to take risks and gamble.

‘There is a way to come back in, but it’s a waste to use 100 Mana Stones.’

He tilted his head slightly and checked the ogre’s movement.

The gnome seemed to know only his approximate location, but not his exact location.

This was the time when he thought he was going to make a surprise attack.

tickle, sniff, sniff.

the sound of horseshoes

A voice came from afar.

It seemed to have caught the ogre as well as himself.

It stopped looking for itself and ran in the direction of the sound.

Destroying all trees and branches along the way would be ogre-like.

‘Relief… Should I say?’

Being able to explore the ogres without killing them was what I hoped for.

The risk of killing him and carrying an excessive residence time delay is gone.

But at the same time, I was concerned.

It was hard to imagine that there were horses around here.

Besides, it was very slow.

It felt as if something was dragging me.

If it were a wild horse nearby, it wouldn’t make that kind of noise.

“…I think so.”

I’d love to go at once.

Seongjin thought so and ran in the direction the ogre had passed.

Silence the sound carefully so the ogre does not react, but quickly.

Not long after running like that, I was able to get out of the woods.

Aaaaaaah!

Quang!

“Look!”

“Ugh!”

“Mukkep!”

“👇👇👇👇👇”

Hornbi Baeksan.

The ogres are running rampant and humans are blocking them.

These men and soldiers, like knights of the Middle Ages, hold shields, spears, and swords to keep the ogres in check.

To be precise, they are preventing them from approaching the wagon they are guarding.

The chariot had the ceiling blown up from an ogre attack, and there was a well-dressed girl with her head bowed in fear.

She said, “There were humans here too.”

Although I don’t know what to say.

Still, I was confident that I could understand what country they were speaking from, but I could not understand them at all with the accents and words they spoke.

The civilization they use is an old civilization.

Although the knights and soldiers seemed to know a little bit of magic, they seemed too strong to defeat the ogres.

If this battle continues like this, it will be difficult to avoid annihilation.

If it wasn’t for you,

“Still, we are the same human being, but we have to help each other.

Pick up a new weapon from your inventory.

Raise the huge window high.

Then, through the defenses of the knights, he flies towards the ogres who reach into the wagon with all their might.

Whoops!

Kwa-ang!

The spear hit exactly the middle of the ogre’s arm.

And skill, explosion by heat wave.
