The Castle that Doesn’t Collapse (3)

If Lee Chan-Song and Go Hae-Yoon were both trained well, they would do the role of one, but it’s still ambiguous right now.

Go Hae-Yoon’s agility was relatively high, but lacked practical training since she had always been placed as support. We would have to wait and see if she would develop the Reconnaissance skill like Seol Min-Joon if she was well-trained.

Lee Chan-Song said his mana was higher than his agility. There were buff specialists like the specialized class Bard, but it could be seen as challenging to train for such a luxurious class in this harsh environment.

Now that I thought about it, it was fortunate that the situation was not as bad.

It was the first break in a long time. The ceiling covered the sky, and there was a low probability of monsters breaking in… Since the manpower allocation was not done yet, intruders were not our problem.  Now, we just had to get a good night’s sleep.

But, there’s someplace I must head to first.

I quietly got up from my seat.

Equipment, or items, were critical.


Though they said a master calligraphist did not care about the brushes they use, a hunter must be picky about their equipment. A piece of good equipment suitable for your class would bring about significant synergy. There was a reason why hunters were donned fully in the most expensive pieces of equipment that they could get their hands on.

In that sense, my weapon was considered to be horrible.

 

[Verifying item.]

<Sharp Jackknife>

Grade: F

Attack: 10~20

Description: A sharp jackknife. A fatal blow can be inflicted if stabbed deeply.

 

I had a weapon that was like my soulmate before my return, which was also obtained in this very gate and could not have been gotten anywhere else.

The system rewards one with the appropriate reward according to the accumulated damage contribution when a gate is cleared. And before my return, I was ranked first on damage contribution when I cleared it.

It was the same gate that hunters could not clear even after three long years. It was an open secret that the rewards for this gate would be humongous. Since I could not clear this gate yet, I had no other choice but to find another weapon that I could use temporarily.

There were times when items were dropped by monsters after they were killed, but there were also hidden items. Such cases would only come true if certain conditions were met, similar to easter eggs.

And according to my memory, there was an easter egg which was near the indoor sports stadium. Back then, someone else with Reconnaissance had obtained that equipment instead of me, and it was a hot topic since items were only known to have been dropped by monsters.

According to him, there was an animal hospital near the indoor sports stadium if I headed northeast.

I found it.


United Animal Hospital. Though now it was in ruins, there were still traces of the cozily decorated interior that remained.

A foul stench greeted me as I entered. It smelled like rotten animals’ corpses. Of course. No one would have rescued the animals from the cages when humans could not even save themselves. Plus, the monsters would have entered this place at the smell of meat.

True enough, as I stepped into the medical office, I saw rotting flesh hanging through the brutally crushed metal bars. It was painful to read the names that were engraved on those bars. The names ‘Choco’, ‘Love,’ ‘Mango,’ and more were lined up.

As I walked deeper into the clinic, the doctor’s office appeared, and the room next door was the staff lounge.

I spotted a corpse that had starved to death as I pushed open the door. It was a puppy. How could it have survived when there was no one to feed it? It could only die of starvation. I lifted its body carefully and stepped out.

I hope you’re in a better place now.

I prayed silently and buried it in the ground. It was a tiny puppy that looked to be only a few months old.
