Chapter 4

Jeong Taeseok rolled his feet with a nervous look.

The sound of a car stopping urgently came to his ear, as he alternated his gaze between the watch on his wrist and the gate.

At the sight of Do Junyoung, the chief of the management office, getting out of the car, Jeong Taeseok almost shed tears as if he met his savior.

“Chief!”

“How is the situation?”

“The gate still won’t open. Obviously we didn’t even kill the boss, but how the hell did this happen…”

“Then we’ll have to force the gate open.”

“What?”

Taeseok widened his eyes at the sight of the green magic stone Do Junyoung took out of his pocket.

Wasn’t that a precious gate stone you could obtain from the dungeon with a very rare chance?

He couldn’t believe that something so expensive would be used here to force open a gate and then close it!

Jeong Taeseok was moved to the point of shedding tears.

“Gate open.”

Do Junyoung left Taeseok behind and brought the magic stone to the gate. Since it was a gate stone with a high purity level, it would certainly be able to open a Grade 3 Gate.

…Obviously that’s the way it should be.

【Warning! The Dungeon ‘Werewolf Habitat’ has a rating that is too high! Gate stones cannot be used!】

【Warning! Excessive use will break the gate stone!】

The Green gate stone shattered after the series of messages.

“…”

Do Junyoung and Taeseok widened their eyes at the unexpected situation.

They were sure that the magic meter said the gate was Grade 3, but suddenly the dungeon was too high? Even the gate stone was broken due to excessive use?

Was that possible?

But that wasn’t the end of the surprises. A new message appeared on their mind.

【The current dungeon rank of  ‘Werewolf Habitat’ is EX.】

The faces of Do Junyoung and Jeong Taeseok were shocked.

They couldn’t believe it was an EX Grade.

EX was a grade only used if the rating was so high that it didn’t matter if it was measured.

It was the first time in his life that even Do Junyoung actually saw an EX grade.

But a dungeon with only werewolves was rated EX?

‘I can’t believe it. In that case, hunter Yoon Seora who was trapped inside…’

Do Junyoung’s face hardened at once. If this was true, Yoon Seora would never come out alive.

No, maybe she already…

Junyoung’s fist was firmly tightened.

“Oh, are you the one in charge of civil servants?”

At that time, Park Jinyong, the one who threw Seora into the dungeon, approached them.

Taeseok took a deep breath and looked at Do Junyoung.

But Park Jinyong, who failed to notice it, continued speaking.

“I didn’t do that on purpose, but I’m sorry anyways. I only wanted to show the F rank the dangers of a dungeon, but how was I supposed to know that the dungeon would close?”

“…”

“I’m glad they are an F Rank though. They wouldn’t be much help even if they were here would they? I think it’s good that the gate closed without much damage thanks to the sacrifice”

Park Jinyong, who was talking excitedly, was forced to stop. This is because Do Junyoung grabbed his mouth.

His cold, sunken eyes were directed at him.

“It is prohibited by law to push people into dungeons. Even if your opponent is a hunter themselves. There’s no way Cheonglang Guild’s raid captain didn’t know that.”

As Do Junyoung’s hand gained strength, Park Jinyong’s giant figure slowly rose from the floor.

Park Jinyong opened his eyes wide. He grabbed onto Do Junyoung’s arm with his thick hands, but he didn’t budge.

“Th-, Ug-, Ugh….!”

“If you knew about it but still decided to do it, your punishment will be even more severe. From obstruction of duty to attempted murder.”

“A-Argh!”

“Chief Jeong Taeseok. Make note of it. I will punish Park Jinyong, the A Rank hunter using my authority.”

“C-Chief, woah!”

As Junyoung’s fist rose high, the ground shook with a strong roar.

The park where the gate bursted turned into chaos in an instant.

“…This is the capability of a S-rank.”

Seora got goosebumps all over her body.

The number of wolf-type monsters in the cave was roughly 30 or so.

But now all 30 of them were lying on the floor dead. Was that all?

“One shotting a werewolf….”

One shot of magic bullet.

That was all it took to kill a werewolf that was nearly three meters long.

No, even if it’s an S-Rank. Was it really possible to kill a Grade 3 monster with one shot…?

“Administrator, Administrator. No matter how I look at it, isn’t your ability a fraud?”

Was this how all S-ranks were like? Did I just not realise their true abilities because I was a F Rank who couldn’t even shoot properly? Did all S-ranks have such monster-like abilities?!

The gun’s information window appeared in front of Seora’s eyes, who alternately looked between the sniper rifle and the dead werewolves with shaking eyes.

【Weapon Information】

Name: Hit (EX)

Type: Firearm

Unique characteristics: The shape can be changed freely according to the owner’s will. (however, it is limited to firearms only)

Note: Guns that have the system administrator’s protection. The accuracy rate and destructive power has increased by 200% respectively.

“…”

Seo-ra rubbed her eyes.

And then looked at the status window, then she rubbed her eyes again, looked again, rubbed again, and looked again…

But no matter how many times she repeated it, nothing had changed.

So the one she’s holding in her hand, this, this gun, no, this gun-nim, was an EX-class….

“…Administrator, do you usually give gifts as an EX grade? Even the unique characteristic is a fraud?”

Suddenly, the gun felt heavy, and Seora trembled softly as she held it gently with both hands.

It wasn’t uncommon to receive gifts or skills when contracting with higher-ranking beings, or rather, the Sacraments.

But what kind of a madman just gave out an EX-Grade weapon!

And look at the unique characteristics also. It changes shapes freely at will.

Seora, who had been silent for a while, murmured quietly.

“Colt.” (A type of gun)

As the weapon shone, the heavy weight noticeably became lighter. The sniper rifle turned into a colt in an instant.

“It’s Real…”

Ever since she became a civil servant she had seen many weapons, but she was sure that she had never seen a weapon that freely changed its shape.

It was a precious weapon that was much more expensive than Seora who had just become a S Rank.

【Administrator: /(*´ ∇`)】

Then a very strange message appeared.

The hell, what kind of a message….

“Administrator… Don’t tell me, you are the system administrator?”

【Manager: (*^▽^)/】

Are you serious? Was it really the system administrator?

“But why is its contents…”

Looked like this.

Why an emoticon? She knew that if an awakened person made a contract with a sacrament, while complex conversations were impossible, it was still possible to have a basic conversation together.

So why was the system administrator sending messages like this.

‘The image of the administrator…’

Seora, who was imagining someone who was serious, scary, yet somehow normal, received a huge shock as if she was hit in the back of the head.

An Emoticon. She had never seen anyone who made a contract with a sacrament mention something like this.

“Hey, administrator. Why are you only sending emoticons?”

【Manager: ˃̣̣̣̣̣̣︿˂̣̣̣̣̣̣ 】

A crying face. Seora asked again.

“Hoooo, that’s not the only way you can talk is it?”

Please, please say no.

【Administrator: o(T^T)o】

But this administrator trampled on her hopes. Seora slapped her forehead without realizing it.

Oh my God. A contractor who communicates with emoticons. And it’s the administrator!

“The emoticon administrator who gave me an EX-grade weapon…”

【Administrator: (*´∀`*)ゞ】

‘Stop acting shy! I am being sarcastic!’

She wasn’t sure if it just didn’t notice or was doing it despite noticing.

No matter how you looked at it, this administrator was very strange, would the contract really be okay?

【Administrator: ꒪⌓꒪ 】

Oh, the anxious expression on her face must have been too revealing. Seora quickly straightened her expression.

“No, let’s think about it. When am I ever going to get another scam like this? Accuracy and destructive power increase, and even being able to freely change the shape of the gun.”

Returning back such a scam just because she was too afraid to hold it? What nonsense.

She had to hold onto this precious body and administrator’s legs even if it was stretched out.

‘Yeah, let’s just think of it as winning a Powerball. When it comes to Powerball, diamond spoons are okay.’

Seora constantly whispered to herself as if she was trying to brainwash herself.

“I will use it well. thank you.”

pat pat.

Sera patted the gun like a baby’s butt, and carefully put it in her inventory.

Up until now, it only had junk in it, but maybe it was because of her mood since it felt like it was shining gold instead.

“Now that we have dealt with the Werewolves, the gate will open, right?”

【Administrator: ◝(・ω・)◟】

“Then let’s get going…”

Seora, who was about to move, paused for a moment and looked around.

A cave covered in blood, thirty dead wolf monsters and one werewolf whose head was blown away.

Looking at it again she felt amazed, however there was one problem.

“If I go out now, at least S-ranks like me will notice that my stats have changed, right?”

That was a bit difficult.

No matter how well someone built up their skills, it was impossible for an F-rank to become an S-rank in an instant.

Even more so because her awakening limit was also up to F-rank.

It was clear that all the unwelcome eyes would be drawn to her if this was made public. She really hated that.

She didn’t want to take on the responsibility given to her by other people.

She didn’t want to live the same life as a sacrifice just like certain someones.

“Is there any way I can make it so that no one knows that my stats have risen?”

【Administrator: ◔_◔?】

“…I don’t want to let them know. Not a single person. So please.”

Seora put her hands together and begged earnestly.

She didn’t like leading a life that was crushed by the responsibility of being a sacrifice. Her only goal was to live freely and comfortably.

Was her earnestness well conveyed?

【The system administrator gives blessing to its sole contractor.】

【The blessing “silver screen” is activated.】

【Blessing ‘Silver Screen”

Ability: The protection provided by the system administrator to it’s contractor. Part of their ability is covered by a veil. Unless given permission by the contractor no one can check their ability level.】

Looking at the blessing given to her she opened her eyes wide.

“T-Thank you.”

She felt a little stunned since she didn’t think it would be so easy.

Even though it wasn’t possible, she really felt as if something was covering her body, and she swept her arms.

Was this how it felt like to form a contract with a higher being?

“Really, thanks a lot.”

【Administrator: _へ__(‾◡‾ )>]

“…”

Even if she was touched, her emotions crumbled just by taking one look at the emoticons.

Seora, who almost looked at the manager with cold eyes, quickly wiped her face and changed her expression.

Yeah, she didn’t care if it had some strange preference.

…She just hoped it was only a little, not too much.
