The Player Who Returned From The Apocalypse

Chapter 7

A park in Ansan, Gyeonggi-do.

There is a yellow line that reads ‘No entry’ around it. A police officer is standing nearby and controlling access.

“There’s no way out of this guy’s gate.”

One of the police officers muttered annoyed.

Yes. This was where the gate was supposed to appear.

If left alone, it was a gate that exploded and monsters appeared. And the police were controlling so that other ordinary people did not come here.

If you get caught in the gate, a catastrophe will happen.

“I wish I was Awakened too.”

A policeman sighed and complained.

Gates and dungeons can only be entered by Awakened. If other ordinary people or objects enter it, it will be crushed.

That is why the police are controlling this place, and the police and the military have not been able to handle the gate.

There was nothing they could do other than take care of the convenience of the hunters who handled the gate like this.

Sadly there was no match.

“Are you envious? Awakened?”

“Aren’t you envious of your seniors? It’s a successful life with guaranteed promotions. Actually, the Commissioner of the National Police Agency is the same now.”

A few Awakeneds also appeared in the police and military, and they were all on the road to promotion.

As they were warriors to fight in the first place, they could easily grow.

However.

“Success is only superficial. The failures have never been shown.”

“Yes?”

“I was envious of you only seeing success stories, so on the other hand, I complained once. I didn’t even know how much sacrifice and effort the Commissioner of the National Police had put into this position until he got up there-”

If you promote safety, the level will not rise well, and if you give up safety, there will be victims. Therefore, several people died before the creation of a high-ranking hunter.

No, in the case of a high-grade gate, life was at risk just by challenging it.

But other people don’t know about it and they just envy them. The senior police officer explained the matter.

And in the meantime.

Wow-!

Space opened up in the park. A black space shone through the gap that looked like broken glass.

“Let’s get this far. Make sure no one crosses the safety line.”

“Yes. I see. People are already coming.”

Even if you know it’s dangerous, there will always be bystanders. In particular, Korea, where there is a lack of safety, was severe.

A junior police officer said as he saw a young man approaching with a smartphone.

“This is the gate haunting area. Please step back.”

“Ah, I think I came to the right place. I thought I was lost after a long time coming.”

The young man approached the police without heeding them. Then he took a card out of his pocket.

“I’m Seongjin Kim, who came to close the gate here. I’m a Hunter.”

“…are you alone?”

A hunter who introduced himself as Seongjin, and the Hunter certificate he passed on was clearly written as an F grade.

***

[ You have entered the F-grade gate. ][ Kill all monsters in the gate. ]

“It’s hard to get in. How many times is this?”

There was an all-out fight.

When he showed his Hunter license to enter the gate and tried to enter, the police stopped him.

It was the same elsewhere. As soon as he confirmed that he was alone, he deterred. It’s never impossible to be alone… .

Still, he couldn’t hold back since he had already booked to go here to the Hunter System. This was because once registered in the system, other hunters could not check the location information of the gate until they failed to attack this gate.

In other words, the other hunters do not come until Sungjin fails the gate.

Fortunately, Sungjin was able to persuade him by showing him the items he had purchased so far, and he was able to get inside.

“I wish there were more monsters this time.”

Again, compared to the Hunter Gates, the number of Monster Gates was quite small. This was hardly enough to make money.

Ten at most. The size of the gates is large, but the number is too small.

It was ineffective in several ways.

“Come out quickly! It’s a monster!”

Kirik-

kara la la la-

When I screamed, the response came. This field is a dark cave. That’s why even a small sound can’t help but make a sound.

“Is that over there?”

Sungjin ran away without hesitation.

As expected, a horde of monsters was waiting in the direction of the sound. It was clear that a person with a weak stomach would frown.

Its long body is protected by a red exoskeleton and has several legs attached to it. It had two antennae on the tip of its head and opened and closed its large mouth.

– Giant Centipede

When I looked at the gnome, the Hunter System taught me its name. Literally translated, it would be a giant centipede.

The bodies of other giant insects were turned over around them. Still, looking at the chest going up and down, it looked like she was alive.

“Are you lucky to be a rare monster?”

Speaking of giant centipedes, they were only a few boss-type monsters in the F-class.

Boss-type monsters are very strong monsters unlike normal monsters, but they drop items with experience, hunting points, and high probability enough to take that risk.

When such a monster appears, it is normal to run out of the gate and receive support from another hunter, but Sungjin had no intention of doing that.

‘It must be F grade.’

If it’s his current ability, it’s likely to be against him.

Seongjin thought so and slowly walked towards him. Then, he became conscious of himself and turned his head.

Soon, he rushed at a speed that was different from his size.

“danger.”

Quang-!

He withdrew his body, expecting him to come.

No matter how big he gets, he’s a centipede. He didn’t change that he was moving at high speed. As it grew bigger, its weight increased, and it was enough to break the hard stone cave walls.

Cyrillic-

but it moves just fine. It was because his exoskeleton protected him.

“I mean, it’s also ignorant.”

Seongjin took advantage of the giant centipede colliding with the wall and rushed to it. It was to inflict damage on him before he regained his senses.

🤩🤩🤩 -!

The giant centipede felt Seongjin approaching and spewed poison from his mouth. The condensed venom melted the floor.

But it was not enough to avoid such an attack. Rather, he took it as an opportunity.

Sungjin took out a spear from his inventory and threw it.

The goal is the guy’s mouth.

Whoops!

Kee eh-!

The silver spear was sucked right into his mouth.

The giant centipede struggled as if in pain. It won’t kill you right away. Insect brains are so small that it is difficult to kill them as in the case of silver wolves. No, there are insect-type monsters that live without a head.

In order to kill him, he had to steadily inflict damage.

He arrived in front of him. The man with his head raised high and writhing in pain looked full of weakness.

“You’re not a snake, and you can’t lift your head.”

Whoops! He pierced his body with his sword, and it went in easily.

Protected by the exoskeleton is the upper back. The ship was not protected by an exoskeleton, so it penetrated easily.

In the first place, it was rare for an idiot to show his weakness like this.

“Then do you want to cut it?”

woo woo woo woo- woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Sungjin started running with the sword in his status. Status stuck in a giant black centipede tore off her soft skin and inside.

It climbed on its knuckles and tore the body of a giant centipede. Through the cracks, his internal organs were clearly visible. Blood gushed out of the broken intestines.

As the giant centipede shook his body, the upright body was about to crash into the ground.

‘This is dangerous.’

Sungjin put his sword down and jumped off the giant centipede’s body.

Quang-!

The giant centipede fell with a loud noise. Fortunately, Seongjin jumped before he fell and didn’t get hit.

My leg hurt a little when I landed, but it was better than being crushed by it.

Kyaaa-

But that doesn’t mean the giant centipede is dead.

The gnome drew his pre-death power and rushed towards Seongjin. Unlike before, he bows his head and opens his mouth wide. He looked as if he was going to swallow him in one bite.

“Whether you have the ability to learn or not.”

[ You purchased a silver polearm for 300P. ]

Remove the newly purchased spear from your inventory.

And threw it into the man’s mouth with all his might.

Fu-wook!

A spear that penetrated the roof of the giant centipede’s mouth.

Perhaps because of his speed, it even penetrated the exoskeleton above his head. A giant centipede that bled his blood and marked the way he had run fell down in front of Seongjin.

Sungjin was not vigilant though. He pulled out the sword sticking out of his stomach again and attacked the straight side of his leg.

Knock-knock-

Over a hundred pairs of legs began to be amputated.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“If that’s the case, you won’t be able to move.”

After all, he’s going to die from excessive bleeding. It doesn’t matter if he kills slowly.

Blood gushed out of the giant centipede’s stomach, and the vitality in his eyes gradually faded away.

***

Seongjin cut off all the legs of the giant centipede and then dealt with the monster it had paralyzed with poison.

And he looked around the gate all the way to make sure there were no other monsters.

“It looks like he’s over.”

If there is a boss type monster, it is usually one of the two.

A powerful boss monster alone, or summoning a more powerful subordinate monster.

In this case, it was the former. As expected, no other monsters were seen.

[ The battle has ended. ][ Summarize the hunting results. ][ 30 Hunting Points have been acquired. ][ You have acquired 100 experience points. ]

“It’s also very salty.”

The experience points of the monster that the giant centipede had put as food came in.

Still, he caught about five of them, but the reward was very small because of the higher rank.

Because of this, hunters try to enter the same gate as their rank, and the government encourages, or almost compels, it.

It was because of the reason that entering a gate with a lower grade than his own would hinder the growth of other hunters.

If you can’t come in, it doesn’t matter. It is because the government has no way of knowing unless you disclose that your rating has been raised like the one you are now.

Seongjin went back to where the giant centipede was. The corpse of the giant centipede was slowly disappearing.

He is now dead.

[ The battle has ended. ][ Summarize the hunting results. ][ You have acquired 1,000 hunting points. ][ You have acquired 3,000 experience points. ][ The level has risen. ]

Even if you catch a monster that doesn’t fit the level, you get this much experience.

It was also a boss type monster.

Seongjin sat still and waited for the giant centipede’s body to completely disappear.

Not long after waiting like that, the corpse disappeared, leaving only the expected items along with the manastone.
