The Player Who Returned From The Apocalypse

Chapter 39

Sungjin was taken aback by Minsu’s words.

Monsters are said to be allies.

He says that the enemies that hunters have to hunt are companions.

“It’s a monster. There’s no way it can be a companion.”

“But we fought together. These guys also fought to kill Slenderman and died a lot.”

That’s nonsense.

Monsters and Hunters are allies.

It’s an impossible story.

It was an unthinkable story before Return.

But it was difficult to determine.

‘Obviously, in the other world, monsters and humans were said to cooperate.’

Not only that, but there were also quests that became a party with monsters on the system.

However, I couldn’t believe all of that.

“If you covet that monster, I’ll give it to you. Kill it.”

“No. I will send you alive.”

“It’s no good for you. No, it’s no good for mankind.”

“I don’t know why I’m going all the way to mankind, but I don’t intend to forsake the grace I once received.”

At Sungjin’s words, Minsu resisted to the end.

However, he was reluctant to ignore him and kill the monster.

Seongjin turned his head and looked at the other hunters and said.

“Is what this person said true? He said he fought with monsters?”

When the Hunters heard that, they turned their heads and did not speak.

It was simple to say that he did not fight with monsters.

because it’s true

If your comrades were attacked by those monsters here, there will also be those who scream for revenge.

But not saying it doesn’t mean it isn’t.

And there was no situation where I could say the opposite.

In a modern society where monsters are perceived as enemies of mankind, there are few hunters who can confidently say that they fought with monsters.

Even if there were, they were usually only those with the title of tamer.

They can tamper with monsters and manipulate them as they please, but these people were also alienated from the hunters.

‘In other words, it seems that it is true that you received help from a monster.’

It would be unimaginable before the return.

It happened here.

I woke up from this spot after clearing the dungeon that was said to be impossible to capture.

Is that a strange thing?

‘Of course, even if it’s true, it’s not the reason for saving the monster.’

Looking into those eyes makes me want to agree with his words.

Eyes that look like stars floating in the blue sky.

It’s not a common sight.

And Seong-jin knows what kind of skill he uses to change like that.

‘Jeong-an.’

It is a skill that must be at least Grade A in order to be used, and it is a skill that is difficult to acquire even if it is Grade S.

In order to acquire this skill, several skill levels had to be created and combined up to level 10.

The grain cutting he learned was only part of the skills needed here.

But once you learn it, it will definitely work.

Identify weaknesses, strengthen situational awareness, improve body acuity, expand vision, accelerate accidents, etc.

There are a lot of abilities that haven’t been revealed yet.

These abilities are automatically used at the right moment at the right time.

It’s not really about boosting your skills.

Nevertheless, all hunters wanted to have this skill.

You can tell because you also possess this skill.

‘While using that skill, it feels like looking at the answer sheet of life.’

If you think of a goal within your field of vision, your skills will guide you.

You can know where to cut, how to avoid it, how to attack, and where the attack will come from.

As long as you know what you’re looking at, you’ll be given the most accurate answer based on your abilities.

So the name of the skill is Jeongan.

‘This skill has already been learned.’

I don’t know what kind of trick he used, but how lucky he is.

Perhaps he was able to hold onto Slender Man with this skill.

Of course, since it is a skill that does not fit the topic, it is inevitable that side effects will follow.

And that’s probably damage to your eyes.

That is, it will be a real name.

You can tell by the way his eyes are out of focus.

Sungjin walked out slowly.

Minsu saw it and tried to block his path again.

Tuk!

“uh?”

However, Sungjin’s goal was not to be a monster from the beginning.

Sungjin’s hand went up on Minsu’s head.

Then he came down slowly and closed his eyes.

“The skill is not used continuously. Even if you qualify, if you continue to use that skill for a long time, you will be blinded for a while.”

“…do you know about this skill?”

“Yes, I know.”

So I gave up.

No matter how much you argue with him, he can’t win on his own.

Perhaps he used his skill set to find a number where he didn’t kill monsters.

And, I don’t want to fight with such a person.

“I want to talk about skills. And don’t you need a replacement for those arms?”

“…can you fix it?”

“We’ll talk about that later after we get out of the dungeon.”

[ 00:00:05 ]

There is not much time left.

It’s time to kill monsters anyway.

when there’s not much time left.

Whoa!

Sungjin didn’t notice, but his bracelet vibrated slightly.

“Mr. Gunwoo. You did a great job today.”

“No. Sangsu-nim did a great job.”

Lee Sang-soo was tired after finishing the hunt, but he said good-bye.

He also became very close with Choi Geon-woo.

At first, he seemed to think of himself as a benefactor.

That’s why he called him ‘brother’. When I asked him what his older brother was doing, he said he would call him eldest in the future.

‘It’s going well.’

He recently learned and gained a lot from him, although he missed Sungjin Kim.

He learned the diligence of hunting relentlessly, and he learned the spirit of improvement.

Choi Geon-woo was introduced by the best party member.

Of course, it cost him a lot of money, but it didn’t seem like his father was very happy with it.

As time passed, I quickly raised the level, and now the level is 185, and Choi Geon-woo has reached 199.

Now it was time for him to think about the ordeal quest.

‘But I’m also anxious.’

The subject of the quest ordeal is survival.

To survive in a dungeon overflowing with boss monsters, finding a safe place, such as avoiding enemies or finding a place to hide, is the top priority.

So, if possible, I wish there was a scout.

No, considering the future, I had to accept at least one such person as a party member.

‘Of course, if it was Choi Geon-woo, he would probably survive alone.’

Last time I was lucky enough to go to a place where there was a boss monster, and seeing that it was so easily killed, it seemed like it would survive even if I was thrown into the dungeon alone.

“I don’t think anyone can use it anywhere.”

“Sangsu-nim. Are you worried about that again? Why don’t you just lower your eyes a little? And if you get help from your father in the dungeon, how won’t it be resolved?”

“It’s like that though…”

It’s not that I didn’t think about Gunwoo’s words.

His father is the guild master of Argonaut, the largest hunter guild in Korea, so he can use that manpower.

He will definitely give you a high-ranking and experienced hunter.

But he didn’t want to.

“If possible, I want to announce that we have accomplished the ordeal only with the power of our party. This ordeal will also appear in the press.”

“The publicity seems to be low.”

The party he is organizing now is not just a party.

It is a part of the hunter training project that Argonaut is doing.

Although it is attracting attention from the public, it is not known which members were gathered.

The time to announce it was because I wanted to start by completing this ordeal quest after the party members were caught to some extent.

‘It also draws attention for being alive in the dungeon. There’s nothing better than revealing this out there.’

However, the members also lacked the ability to enter the dungeon.

After all, I searched the news on my smartphone, thinking that it was not time yet.

I wondered if there was a hunter that could be used.

“what is this?”

However, an unexpected message appeared.

– Clear the world’s first dungeon

I wondered if I wrote the ordeal quest wrong, so I read the contents step by step, but it was clear.

You cleared the dungeon.

Although it was a D-grade dungeon, the grade of the dungeon was not very important.

It’s difficult to come back alive in a dungeon, but clearing it, how the hell can you do something like this?

“I’m in trouble…”

No matter how easily you raise your rank, you won’t be able to get as much recognition as these guys.

With that in mind, Sangsu looked up the clear list one by one.

The number of people was quite large.

Of course, the names of everyone in the dungeon are written on it.

And among them, the name of the first person that catches your eye.

“Mr. Kim Seong-jin?”

“Yes? Why does your eldest brother’s name appear there?”

“Oh, wait a minute. I’ll check it out now.”

Saying so, Sangsoo skimmed the content and played the most important attached video.

“Seongjin is also right.”

“Yeah. You seem to be much stronger than before?”

Although it wasn’t clear, it was clear enough that anyone in the know would recognize it.

And it looked much different than before.

It was felt on the screen that it was much stronger than before.

He learned new skills and wore new items.

Below is a transcript of the interview, about how strong the enemy was.

– Slaughtered most boss monsters in the dungeon and killed dozens of hunters

Looking at the video, it seemed that way.

“I think we are far behind.”

At Geon-woo’s words, Sang-su nodded his head without saying a word.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

I thought that I wanted to go with the thought that it was also great.

You can’t be left behind

“I’ll go too. Dungeon.”

Other than becoming famous, it is behind the scenes.

I didn’t want to fall behind Sungjin.

You have to move forward to be equal.

The battle is over in the video.

And Seongjin was seen approaching other monsters.

‘Is the video ending after killing them too?’

But on the way, someone stopped me.

And while we were talking, I didn’t know what the conversation was.

‘Looking at the loss of both arms, it seems to have been lost in the dungeon.’

And it was a time when we could hear each other’s conversations.

Whoo-!

The screen of the smartphone changed from a video to a receiving screen.

‘Who the hell are you?’

Sangsoo thought so, nervously checking the recipient’s name.

And he got it right away.

“Hello, Seongjin. Congratulations on clearing the dungeon.”

Because he is the most important person.

– The information is also fast. There is something I want to ask you more than that.

“Yes. What kind of request? I’ll do anything I can.”

– This is the same request as last time for Choi Geon-woo.

“If it’s the same as in Choi Gun-woo’s time…”

it’s scout Eyes gleamed.

– So, this is Kim Min-soo… .

“I don’t have to say any more. Where are you now?”

He interrupted Sungjin’s words and said.

And beckoning to Geon-woo, he got into a nearby black foreign car.

“contract.”

“Here it is.”

Get a pre-prepared contract.

It is a contract with the maximum terms and conditions that you can give.

It was also a request for forgiveness from his father for this time.

“Hey, what’s going on? Wasn’t it time for me to leave work?”

“Let’s work overtime for a little bit. There will be a new co-worker, so we should go see it, right?”

Sungjin recommended it.

If so, your employment has already been confirmed.
