Chapter 31

Sometimes there are people like that.

A hunter who gave up dealing with dangerous and ferocious beasts turned his eyes toward easier prey.

In industry slang, they were called frogs.

If they are smaller than you, even if they are of the same race, they will open their mouths and eat you

As expected, should we use that gate? There is no CCTV at the entrance.

Yeah. Lets do that.

Ill lure Kim Kiryeo.

Isnt this the perfect title to refer to them? Frog.

I wish there was more to rob than just the bracelet, but with him dressed like a beggar, I dont have very high expectations.

These frogs mainly committed crimes targeting low-level awakened people.

Because beginner hunters are unfamiliar with the gate, they tend to excessively invest in defensive equipment to ensure their safety.

Even if they borrowed money to buy equipment, theyre still beginner hunters.

In front of veterans, it was often useless.

What do you think? We can live comfortably for a while if we just sell that bracelet.

Moreover, what makes them even more vicious is that their goal is not simply to steal money and belongings.

Anyway, its only been 3 weeks since weve done it, so lets prepare properly.

There was no way that those who decided to hunt the same humans would have a normal way of thinking.

A high percentage of the hunter worlds fellow predators were into killing for fun.

Furthermore, Kim Kiryeo happened to catch the attention of these hunters.

Lets see. If the bracelets ability is activated, it will be a big problem, so we need an item that will make him pass out first

Jaehyun was already muttering excitedly and making a plan.

As he watched Jaehyun like this, the team leader couldnt help but be curious.

Hey Jaehyun, you told me that you formed a team with that hunter a long time ago.

Yes? Yes.

What kind of guy was he? Is there anything else we need to be careful about?

Then the man who was asked the question couldnt hold back and burst into laughter.

Something to be careful about?

Puhahaha! Dont even say that. That, he even ran away without trace from the F-Class gate last year? Hes the weakest hunter Ive ever known!

***

The next day.

When I look at Jaehyun, something seems to come to mind.

Ring

In the midst of complicated feelings. It sounds like a text message has arrived.

I unlocked my phone and replied to the message.

Oh, my! Why did you come out so early?

Soon after, familiar faces arrived.

Its the Hunter team I met yesterday.

Youre really giving me the same pay as yesterday, right?

Oh, of course. Ive printed it out on a new bill, stiffly. Haha.

Well, now that we have all the people, lets get to work.

I followed their guidance and arrived at a gate.

Between the building and the building.

The F-Class Blue Gate is located at the entrance of a narrow alley. This was todays workplace.

I heard there are two bosses here, right?

Normally, the gate disappears when the boss is defeated.

However, there was a small rule to this phenomenon. That is, the gate isnt going to disappear entirely if there are still people inside.

When I have time, I want to properly investigate the gate.

I looked curiously at the earths culture, and soon came to my senses.

Ill satisfy my curiosity later and focus on my work first.

If I could earn this much just by working as a porter, there would be no need to betray the good-natured Ahn Yoonseung.

I happily adjusted my backpack and headed into the gate.

Unlike the cowardly Kim Kiryeo, I follow in the footsteps of the trustworthy hunters and move forward.

Forward, and forward again.

Is it just my feeling? Isnt this the same path we came from earlier?

As quickly as we moved forward, our party soon reached a dead end.

There are a lot of intersections, which is typical of cave structures, so I think we got lost.

Look. The corpse of the monster we caught earlier still remains. I think we took the wrong direction.

.

Do you have any skills to find directions?

I looked around, asking a short question.

The caves inside was curved and red, giving me the feeling that I had entered the gullet of a live animal.

Kiryeo-ssi, theres no need for that. Because we found the right path.

Yes?

But at that moment.

The D-Class Hunter who was leading suddenly stopped walking, looked back at me, and started laughing.

Ugh.

But given the situation, it was already too late to negotiate.

These punks, they had no intention of letting me go alive from the beginning.

Why did they lure the victim so deep into the gate in the first place?

Theyre probably planning to kill me and close the gate. Then the dungeon will disappear, and the corpse will naturally be destroyed as evidence.

Hey! Kim Kiryeo, take off that bracelet right now and hand it over to me!

Do you think Im crazy to give it to you? Dont move! Before I use it all up twice!

Then these robbers noticed and froze. Yeah. Of course, you wont be able to lift a finger.

You will be seen as a threat if you even touch me a little!

The limit for this magic tool is only two times.

It turns back into a simple accessory after all of that is used up.

I looked quickly at the blue marble decoration that showed how many effects were left on the bracelet, and then I looked back at the front.

Hey, Kim Jaehyun. You cant do anything like this, so cant you just leave me alone?

If you save me, I will keep todays events a secret. I didnt get seriously injured anyway. What charges am I going to report you on?

As the deadlock continued, I began to persuade people to get out of here.

However, no significant effect was seen.

Youre talking nonsense. Who wouldnt know that youd be making a fuss when you went out!

Did it show?

I quietly shook my head, ignoring the angry team leader. Originally, I had planned to take advantage of the opportunity and run away again.

However

Ah, thats enough. Its all messed up just because he didnt pass out at all. Hey, Jaehyun.

Why?

I guess well have to give up this time.

The D-Class hunter suddenly took away the axe aimed at my neck and sighed, and for a moment I thought that I was finally free from this situation.

Until he beat me up.

Seeing such an F-Class use that item makes me feel terrible. Really!

Buk!

The cave rings with the sharp sound of a persons hand hitting a face bone.

The D-Class, who ran out of patience, eventually attacked me. Then wouldnt he be out of breath and say that?

Hey, try it. Try it out, you b*stard. Your memorial day is when the number of times you can use this item runs out!!

What followed was a merciless assault.

The D-Class swung his fist in anger and hit my shoulder or abdomen, and each time he did so, a bone broke one by one.

Argh!

If this continues, Im going to get beaten to death.

Wait! I, I will give it to you! Okay. Ill give you the item, so stop first!

There is no choice.

I shouted urgently. Then the D-Class hunter stopped his actions and took a breath.

You should have done that earlier!

Wow. As expected, violence is medicine.

Is this the reality of F-Class?

Its sad that I have given in to violence, that I have been humiliated, and that I have no power.

Whoo

I think my skin was torn when I was hit on the head earlier, but I tried to ignore the blood flowing from my forehead and touched the bracelet.

Everything will be over if I give this to them.

Maybe my life!

It was that kind of moment.

Suddenly, the sound of someones footsteps began to flow from beyond the cave.

Running sound?

Jaehyun and his teammates turn their heads in unison.

Who just came in?

Theres no way anyone would trespass into an F-Class gate that doesnt make any money.

But what appeared next was truly someone no one expected.

What is this?

Ahn Yoonseung? That Ahn Yoonseung?

A-Class Hunter Ahn Yoonseung.

How is that person here?

K, Kiryeo Hyung? What is this now

Yoonseung, who came running out, was looking at me with a surprised face, and I immediately shouted as soon as I made eye contact with him.

Help me!

Come to think of it, I forgot.

[(Text message)]

[Yoonseung-ah, you know todays promise, right? The F-Class gate doesnt take long, so just wait in front the gate.]

[Yes!]

[Ill look at your skills as soon as Im done.]

[Thank you so much, Hyung.]

I had two plans for today.
