#28. The birth of a Six Star!
When I returned to the real world after the Dragon Palace party, I was in an empty underground bunker where everyone had escaped.
‘Once Poseidon jumped in, the repairs to the walls of the Dragon Palace were completed in an instant.’
Thanks to this, the tsunami stopped, so the hunter exam would have resumed.
So there must be no one in this underground bunker.
Damdeok also had exam procedures remaining.
‘Because I only took the second teamwork test.’
But there was something more important than that.
Damdeok looked back.
The address rate of an expressionless face.
I approached her.
“Address rate, let’s finish this quickly.”
“Finish what?”
“Because you were in a different place throughout the party, there are a lot of things I haven’t heard yet.”
At Damdeok’s growl, Jooyul smiled and slowly opened his mouth.
“okay. It was like that. Then listen carefully… .”
Damdeok’s eyes were wide and he had no intention of returning the whole time he was listening to Jusoyul’s words.
* * *
“therefore. for a moment… .”
Damdeok felt like his head was pounding.
Ju So-yul’s story was more serious and dark than expected.
“So, a ‘War of the Gods’ will soon break out due to forgotten gods like Neptune?”
“okay. “It won’t be long before.”
It was truly shocking.
War of the Gods.
The 6th Ragnarok.
The subject of the war is a clash between existing gods and forgotten gods.
It is said that the world of the gods is a structure of intense conflict between gods that exist in the present and gods that have been forgotten from the past.
Poseidon – Neptune.
Eros – Cupid.
Zeus – Jupiter.
The names that we know to be the same person, or even the same god, are actually the names of ancient gods that actually existed.
“Waging war to find their forgotten names… .”
Neptune’s remarks passed through my mind.
“It’s a fake! In the old days, I too was a clear god of the sea… Wow!”
Damdeok walked back and forth inside the bunker and confirmed Juso-yul’s words once again.
“To sum up what you said,
“okay. Dungeons and gates have many similarities, but in the end, the real thing is the gate. “The dungeon is for training, nothing more or less.”
The dungeon is for training.
Many people lost their lives because of the dungeon!
Wow. Damdeok bit his lip slightly.
Even his own mother suffered for years because of that damn dungeon.
It didn’t take long for a family to fall apart.
But that dungeon is just a training box?
Damdeok opened his mouth as if protesting.
“But the gate is ridiculously small compared to the dungeon, right?”
Besides, there weren’t many people who were interested in things like gates.
Now, the public’s interest is only in the dungeon, which is overflowing with magic stones, various items, and rewards, not the gate that has no flaws.
In fact, isn’t the risk of gates so low that it can be compared to a traffic accident?
However, Ju Soo-yul’s answer did not waver at all.
“That’s because the power of the Forgotten Gods is not strong enough yet. So you felt Neptune was weaker than a typical dungeon boss?”
I couldn’t say anything in response to Ju Ju-yul’s words.
If something like Neptune had appeared in the human world… .
It was terrible. A city would be completely destroyed in an instant.
Only then did I understand little by little.
The reason the gods worked so hard to create dungeons was because they hoped that humans would survive against the Gate.
why?
Because the gods have no intention of actively protecting humans.
‘You saw it clearly. The thing that bothers them too is the existence of the gate.’
Addressul also said the same thing.
The moment the war of gods breaks out, the gods we knew will be too busy protecting their world.
There will not be a single god who will protect the human world.
Since the creation of dungeons, humans have gained superpowers called ‘talents’ and have been able to use ‘skills’ similar to the powers of the gods.
They were all the final gifts the gods could give to humans.
Everything fit together like a puzzle.
“The fact that you know all these facts means that you… .”
“okay. “This is possible because I am a prophet.”
“Ha, did something like that really happen? A prophet… . “I also thought you did something like regression or reincarnation.”
Ju Ju-yul’s body flinched slightly at Damdeok’s words.
However, he soon gently changed the subject.
“I’m not a regressor, so I don’t know everything, but my foresight is pretty good, so don’t worry. “Because I clearly saw you protecting Korea against countless gate armies.”
Damdeok no longer protested. I just nodded quietly.
“I am preventing the war of the gods…” . “That’s why you helped me by feeding Baek Seol that expensive food.”
It was a time when all questions were answered.
“War of the Gods… Ragnarok… .”
Damdeok muttered and slowly left the underground bunker, and Jooyul stared at Damdeok.
‘sorry. ‘I can’t tell you everything yet.’
It’s not time yet.
Until you find ‘it’ and get rid of it completely… .
* * *
Inside Dokdo’s simple registry.
“No, I mean!! This guy is a criminal?! Everyone saw it. From the Labyrinth Dungeon to Yongin Gate Destruction to the Hound Dungeon! This guy doesn’t even have a hunter’s license! “It was for trespassing!!!”
“Hmm, that’s true, but what we do is simply register people who pass the test as hunters… .”
Hwang Tae-seong, the general proctor of this test, was very embarrassed by the current situation.
A man is shouting in a panic next to Yeonsin.
And a man with a wolf-like appearance is standing in front of him.
Yu Dam-deok.
Is there anyone in Korea today who doesn’t know his name?
One day, the rookie hunter who appeared like a comet was actually a real rookie, no, he was a rookie who was taking the test without even getting a license.
I have been registering hunters for a long time, but this was my first time experiencing something like this.
Plus, the grade… .
Hwang Taeseong’s gaze went to the results sheet on the computer screen. However, I had to quickly look away when I heard Cheonjungak’s shrill sound.
“No, hey. What does that mean now? You’re saying that because your job is to register hunters! “A criminal like that shouldn’t be registered?!”
A man screaming loudly next to Yu Dam-deok.
It was Cheon Jung-ak, the successor to the Iris Guild.
‘What kind of enemy have you lost?’ .’
Even though he was just an assistant, Cheon Jung-ak was here as a member of the test organizing team.
That’s why he was vigorously opposing Yu Dam-deok’s registration as a hunter.
However, Damdeok was not paying attention to Cheonjungak who was screaming right next to him.
“Aren’t you going to register?”
“yes? Oh, yeah, wait… .”
Hwang Taeseong was sweating and rolling his eyes here and there.
Cheon Jung-ak’s eyebrows furrowed deeply.
It seemed obvious that if I left it like that, some kind of accident would happen.
The opponent is Iris’s son of a bitch.
It wasn’t too burdensome.
‘If it’s against the law or something, that’s the Hunter Management Bureau’s business. ‘Why are you making a fuss here?’
Hwang Taeseong wanted to shout like that right away.
In fact, he didn’t feel that Damdeok had made such a big mistake.
Probably the majority of people are like that.
‘As long as the results are good, that’s all. What is the law… .’
The fact that there were a lot of casualties during the labyrinth dungeon was also the same, and Damdeok’s remarks, who were called ‘Corea Hunter’, were also favorable.
Moreover, destroying the gate is an innovative move of mankind, so I don’t know what the problem is with such a minor violation.
Finally, Taeseong Hwang made up his mind and winked at the employee sitting next to him.
It was a silent gesture telling me to just register.
“Number 1117. We will proceed with hunter registration. “Please give me your ID.”
“what?! What are you doing? Hey Mr. “These are real.”
“Ah, Cheonjungak Hunter, calm down for a moment… .”
“What? Don’t you let go of this? Won’t you let go?!”
A scuffle broke out between Hwang Tae-seong and Cheon Jung-ak. It was a mess, with even security guards trying to stop Cheonjungak, but Damdeok calmly held out his ID card and did his job.
Ju Ju-yul, who was standing behind him, clicked his tongue and shook his head.
“That thing is less human. Human… .”
In the end, Damdeok leisurely left the registry office with the hunter license in hand, followed by Cheonjungak’s loud roar.
“Aaaah!! Let go of this!! “I’m going to kill them all!!!”
* * *
Sigh!
A boat crossing calm waves.
Ju Soo-yul was holding the control key with one hand and smiling as he looked at Damdeok’s hunter certificate on the other hand.
“You got six stars at once?”
“Hey, drive properly!”
When the boat suddenly tilted, Damdeok was scared and snatched the hunter’s license from Joo-yul’s hand.
[Yoo Dam-deok]
[Rating: 6 stars (★★★★★★)]
[Talent: Swordsmanship (SS), Martial Arts (SS)]
[Affiliation: Mu]
“Kkkkkk. “There was another monster who got 6 stars in one shot on the Hunter Exam.”
Damdeok asked back with a sullen expression.
“Again?”
“Why is Grandpa Eon from a Six Star (shorthand for a 6-star hunter)?”
“Mr. Namgoong Do-eok? Did you… . “So you’re a 7-star now, right?”
“I’m a two-star starter. “It was very ordinary.”
Although Jooyul spoke lightly, Damdeok knew very well how heavy the weight of being a 6-star hunter was.
From the starless hunter with no stars at all to the 9-star hunter with 9 brilliant stars shining.
The Hunter rating system has been graded up to 9 stars, with the star being adopted as a representative symbol worldwide, but it is true that grades higher than 4-star Hunter are not common.
Therefore, from 5 stars onwards, special management was implemented at the national level.
‘There has been no 9-star hunter in Korea yet, there are two 8-star hunters, three 7-star hunters including Joo-yul, and the rest are all 5-star hunters, about 12 people.’
So from now on, I will be the only one working as a 6-star hunter.
‘This is going to get some media attention.’
The thought of my physical strength naturally increasing made me feel better.
As if he had already impressed Poseidon and the Dragon Palace members, his spiritual power had increased considerably.
[Strength: 19,200]
‘It’s already getting closer to 20,000.’
Although Cheonjungak was in a bad mood at the last minute, thanks to Jo Soo-yul’s hint, he was relieved of his worries about public opinion.
Dungeon trespassing.
Even if you do that, you will end up with a fine, and the current image of Damdeok, who is called ‘Corea Hunter’, is also very positive, so there is nothing to worry about.
‘okay. The only thing to worry about from now on is when will the war of the gods break out? That’s it.’
I hope that Zhou Juyul’s prophecy is wrong, but if the war of gods really happens… .
‘I will protect the place where my mother and I live at all costs.’
Damdeok clenched his fists without making a sound.
“I guess there are still a lot of kids like Neptune at the gate, right?”
“of course. This is a case where he jumped out before he could fully regain his strength. “His personality is very hot-tempered.”
What he meant was that the other forgotten gods were calmly gathering their strength and waiting for their time.
‘If it weren’t for Poseidon’s transformation into a water dragon, Neptune wouldn’t have been able to be defeated.’
There are gods more powerful than Neptune lurking at the gate… .
It can’t go on like this.
More than now.
I had to become stronger.
‘… … .’
Ju Ju-yul, seeing Damdeok’s suddenly serious face, quietly increased the speed of the boat to the maximum.
Buaaaa!!
“Hey, why are you like this all of a sudden? Ouch! Slow down! Do you know what kind of motorcycle this is?!”
Damdeok was in a hurry to stop Joo Soo-yul, but Joo Soo-yul kept grinning as to what was so good about it.
“don’t worry. “I will help you get stronger quickly with the shortest course.”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden? “Slow down!”
At that time, Damdeok didn’t notice.
A list of several part-time jobs had already appeared in front of Joo-yul’s eyes… .
