Episode 48
“Yes, why are you there?”
“Iknow, right. Why am I here?”
“Then maybe… … ?”
“What if? Also.”
Kim Sang-shik’s complexion turned dark, like a person who had been poisoned with poop.
Looking at it, it feels like 10 years of sookbyeon are going down.
Alas, this is shitorgasm.
“By the way, let’s go back a bit.
You’re not alone here, are you?”
As soon as I took a step, Kim Sang-sik took a weak step back.
Other scouts surrounded me with business cards.
“This is the Sangdong Guild. We promise to treat you the best.”
“It’s not like this, but we moved to another place and spoke… … .”
Scouting offers rain down from all sides. In a matter of seconds, dozens of business cards were in my hand.
‘This is how it felt.’
It’s a strange yet strange feeling. Things that I have never experienced in 7 years are unfolding before my eyes.
In just half a day, the world around me changed.
no.
‘I must have changed.’
There is a saying on this floor that only C-class hunters are real. A mid-level hunter recognized by society with outstanding ability and high salary.
I finally realized that I was on that path.
‘and… … This is just the beginning.
With the power of the system, I can continue to grow.
Like that, he will enter a new path faster than any hunter.
“Awakened, if you have any conditions you want, I will meet them unconditionally.”
“Ah yes. I’ll contact you later.”
“Really? I’ll wait!”
no. don’t wait Because I won’t contact you.
“Come on, everyone, calm down.”
Association security guards stopped the relentless scouts.
In fact, there is no case of doing that against a C-class hunter, but since I was a very rare case, it seemed to draw a lot of attention.
‘Well, he jumped up with just one reawakening.’
This feeling is not bad either. no, it’s rather good
I left the association suppressing the corners of my mouth that kept rising. But even in the midst of this, there was one person who caught up.
“Jin Tae-kyung! No, Tae-kyung!”
“her.”
I swallowed a laugh while watching Kim Sang-sik.
Just 30 minutes ago, I heard the sound of a baby, but now it’s Mr. Taekyung.
“why?”
“Okay, I’m sorry about that.
Everything I was sad about in the past.”
Kim Sang-shik spoke gibberish and poured out the mistakes he had made to me in the past.
After an unexpected confession, he got to the point.
“So let’s forget about it and think of it as a business.”
“business.”
Roll the word off the tip of your tongue.
The tone is good, the feeling is not. It was even more so because the business partner was Kim Sang-sik and the Picnic Guild.
“Honestly, you know Taekyung-ssi too. Unless it’s a large guild, you’re there.”
“I know. If you’re a C-rank, I know that even large guilds will lend a hand.”
“I mean think about it. There’s nothing to regret about that.
It’s a town where you can easily find a C-class hunter.
The treatment will be just like that.”
Kim Sang-sik continued to speak while spitting.
“No matter where and how much you call, I will always add more. I’m sure this part was not approved by the guild leader.”
The picnic guild has been on a steady decline for several years.
In such a situation, it seems that even the guild leader has a lot of poop.
‘It’s the same with this human.’
The evaluation in the guild is already at the bottom, but the F-class hunter who was cut off a few days ago has reawakened as a C-class.
The corners of his mouth went up in anticipation of what would happen if the guild leader, who was known for being hot-tempered, found out about it.
“Just think positively. Oh, it’s not like this, let’s go to a good store and talk about it openly. The guild leader is also on his way… … .”
“Mr. Kim Sang-shik.”
Sang-sik shut his mouth at the low voice.
“If you want to recruit me, tell the guild leader without missing a word.”
“what?”
“A person I don’t like to see. If you get rid of that one person, he will think about it.”
It was clear who he was referring to.
Leaving Kim Sang-sik with a distorted face behind me, I climbed into a taxi.
Yes, this is enough.’
I leaned back on the soft sheet.
Rating re-measurement and meeting old bad ties.
I felt a sense of exhilaration that could not be expressed in words, and at the same time, I felt relieved.
“Where can I take you?”
“Songnae Hope Gosiwon.”
The taxi driver smiled at me.
“That guest.”
“ah.”
Damn Seoul taxi.
“What is it? You buy all the beef.”
Mats and fire plates were laid on the roof of the gosiwon. Jin-ho looked at the meat being cooked and said with satisfaction.
“good. Seeing your sincerity, I will pretend there was no reward.”
“I had no intention of giving it.”
“Are you a lamb?”
“I’ll give it back to you literally.”
We sat across from each other and drank soju glasses.
“But where did you get the money? The guy who whined about having a hard time this month.”
“Today’s wages.”
“Did you give up on life after being cut from the guild for how much money it cost?”
“How much?”
Without realizing it, I burst into laughter.
“What, are you laughing?”
“You should laugh then. They treat 10 million won as pennies.”
Jinho-hyung stopped abruptly.
” how much?”
“Ten million won.”
“You said you earned 10 million won per day?”
“I came in a little more, but for now.”
“You can’t.”
Jinho hyung swallowed his saliva. Your eyesight is pretty quick. She gave him a meaningful smile.
“Okay, today I… …
“Did you sell organs?”
Should I kill
I took a deep breath and poured my drink.
“Tell me the truth. As the secretary of the gosiwon, Lee has a duty to know.”
At first glance, you would think he was the prime minister, not the secretary of the gosiwon.
“I earned it at the gate.”
“Bring the proof. I only believe what I see with my own eyes.”
“Anyway, here.”
I handed the phone to Jinho hyung.
It was a text message I received on the way back from the re-measurement at the association.
The sender… …
“Luxury bug? Who is this?”
The team leader who ran the raid today.”
“Looks like a lot of money. I want to become a brother-in-law.”
this human. You think the same as me.
After a while, Jinho hyung checked the contents of the text and opened his eyes.
“One hundred and thirty thousand won? Did I see this correctly?”
“I guess.”
According to the contract, the amount paid is 300,000 won. Team leader Choi paid an additional 10 million won there.
‘Even the balance is left.’
Hobgoblin Shaman and Great Warrior are C-class rare monsters. Team Leader Choi added that they are looking for places to sell their equipment, leather, and magic stones.
‘I will pay additionally as soon as it is sold.’
When I woke up, I found myself sweeping up beef at a nearby mart.
“you… …
“Jinho-hyung came out with a blank face and looked at the cell phone in his hand.
“Where the hell did you come from and what did you do?”
“It’s long, so to speak.”
Jinho laughed and grabbed the scissors.
“Is your name line short?”
Where should I start talking about this?
I decided not to say anything more about capsules.
I decided that it would be better for Jinho hyung to remain as an absurd lie.
“Today, two rare monsters came out of the gate… At the moment of desperation when their lives were in danger, the luck of reawakening came and they were able to defeat them. And even the work in the association.
It was a story that was put together in a hurry, but Jinho hyung accepted it.
“So, now you’re a C-class hunter?”
“It will take a few days for the readjustment process to end, so it’s not yet.”
44 That’s it. men and horses.”
A hoarse voice full of bewildered faces.
Jinho hyung stared at me with tears in his eyes.
What’s wrong with this man, this.
Are you crying?”
“f*ck you to cry. What bullshit.”
I turned my head away with a pointless curse, but I couldn’t hide even a drop of tear. I looked at Jinho hyung, who was rubbing his face with his sleeve.
“brother?”
“The meat turns over and burns.”
“Nothing else.”
“Ride!”
“Ah Okay.”
Chi profit
Turning the meat over, I feel embarrassed, but a corner of my chest tickles.
‘Come to think of it, it’s been a long time since I’ve known Jin-ho.’
6 years? 7 years or so I don’t know because I didn’t count them. He was always there when he entered the gosiwon after a hard day’s work.
If I had an older brother, wouldn’t it be like this? We were like brothers and friends to the point where I sometimes think about that.
“hey.”
It was Jinho hyung who broke the awkward silence. I just turned the meat over once more.
“Uh, why?”
“Good.”
“… … okay.”
“and.”
A small voice followed.
“Good job.”
in just one word.
There was something springing up from below. Emotions and memories that had been piled up over the past seven years flooded in at once.
“Becoming a C-class hunter. Congratulations. I can’t even tease you anymore.”
“brother… …
“Taekyung-ah???…
“brother!”
“Taekyung!”
We hugged hotly across the fire. Jinho hyung whispered in my ear with a trembling voice.
“Remember what I said earlier?”
“I know your feelings. Thank you, bro.
“Don’t do that. gratuity.”
“… … huh?”
“Please give me the reward. Hyung is having a hard time these days.”
“You are making a lot of money now.”
really kill
Returning to my room, I threw myself on the bed.
At this moment, thinking of a person grumbling and cleaning the roof made me smile.
‘Anyway, I can’t be careless.’
He’s like Jinho’s brother. The way they celebrate, the joke at the end.
I am well aware of the fact that everything is a way of expressing itself.
‘Good job.’
That one word keeps repeating itself in my head. It’s embarrassing to admit it, but… … At that time, I almost cried a little.
‘Yes, I suffered.’
After my father passed away, I ran without rest. He graduated from high school while working part-time jobs, and had to endure again and again for his sick mother and younger sister.
At some point, all of that became normal for me.
and.
belt ring.
–
I got a status abnormality, [Drunk].
–
It can be deciphered with [Fortune-telling breakfast] ‘Something not taken for granted entered my life.
It started with an unidentified junk game capsule.
“It’s a game capsule.”
I don’t even know what to call it now. You made me a C-class hunter, so should I call it a gift from God?
No, maybe it’s a gift from the devil.
‘Is this okay?’
The reason why I feel this way even though I’ve had the best day of my life is simple.
‘Because nothing is free.’
The world I experienced was like that. Everything has a price tag. Whether you see it or not, you will pay the price someday.
‘How expensive is the system?’
100 billion? trillion? maybe more?
I laughed softly and felt my eyelids get heavy.
‘Oh right. I was drunk.’
prick. sting.
Outside the window, the sound of grasshoppers was loud. My vision darkens and sleep pours down. And that night, I had a dream.
A dream in which someone shakes me awake somewhere deep in the mountains – leader, leader!
A strange voice that makes you want to hit it just by hearing it. On the one hand, I wanted to identify the owner of that familiar voice, but I was too sleepy to open my eyes.
–
What do we do?
–
I need to inform the headquarters right away… … .
–
Why is the leader suddenly like this… … .
It’s like listening to a broken radio.
His voice was muffled and cut off.
,I’m sleepy… …
In the distanced consciousness, a small but clear voice is heard.
– Youngest, survive.
But when I woke up the next day, I couldn’t remember them.
