! Emergency disaster text message [Ministry of Public Safety and Security]

3.7 13:50 Seoul, Suwon, Namyangju

A crack special alert has been issued. Please refrain from going outside, evacuate and avoid approaching dangerous areas, ensure the safety of the elderly, etc., and pay attention to safety and listen to disaster broadcasts.

Jiiing, tiring tiring.

The cafe, which was bustling with people as if it was a public holiday, was soon filled with the sounds of text message notifications.

After checking the disaster text, Kyeon Geum-hee habitually turned on the YouTube app first.

The index screen had already been switched to another version.

This means that all real-time interest is focused on the ‘Hunter’.

There are two versions of the index on YouTube.

The ‘Normal Version’ where regular videos are uploaded, and the ‘Hunter Version’ where hunter-related videos are uploaded.

The Hunter version is commonly called YouTube or HunterTube because it switches with the button on the top right.

The streaming era.

It was a devastating blow to YouTube, which was losing market share to other platforms that were promoting hunter content.

The Awakened Ones have garnered great public attention since their first appearance.

They say filming inside the tower is blocked, but what’s the point of putting up a dungeon?

Vlogs and crack videos of hunters’ daily lives, such as dungeon raid live or market, have caused a stir in the industry.

This is a lot of money.

Plus, there will be no language barrier when watching raids.

The number of views (=money) soared through the roof, crossing borders.

It’s not for nothing that the perception of jailbreak fans who are only focused on clearing dungeons is bad. You can think of jailbreak fans as YouTubers like this.

And 17 years old. Class 4, 1st year, Saetbyeol High School.

Among the three Kyeon siblings, the youngest, Kyeon Geum-hee, is a high-ranking escapee YouTuber.

[LIVE!!!] Secretly broadcast) Let’s go from Seoul to Namyangju (Influx welcome)

[Live broadcast by Independent] Yes? Here? Suddenly? Came to Suwon and met at the gate

[*LIVE*] Let’s cheer together for Sudden Gate’s three consecutive hits

‘Yep. It’s fast. It’s fast.’

“Ah, should I go home? Hey, what’s everyone going to do? Wasn’t it a rule that the tutorial walk had to be monster-free? Why are the cracks always concentrated in the metropolitan area and causing chaos?”

“Because there are so many heads. It’s going to explode in proportion to the population.”

“Starting today, I will begin redesigning my life plan with the goal of immigrating to Africa.”

“Yeah. The rich people have already eaten everything. You’re the entrance cut.”

“Huh, whoa! Shut up! It’s a dictation.”

[Suwon Jangan-gu. 5th place ranker Geonjirok and Babylon Guild arrivals]

A television hanging on the wall of a cafe.

The news channel with breaking news had a LIVE label clearly displayed.

A rippling blue crack.

A roaring monster.

The shooting distance is far.

The people in the cafe were in an uproar at the sight of Kyeon Ji-rok jumping out of the helicopter.

And then, as the scene zooms in on him running on top of a building and summoning a spear, the atmosphere instantly changes to that of the World Cup Round of 16.

“Wow, what should I do! My brother is going crazy, he’s so cruel!”

“Seolpo, you must be crazy. You have a younger sibling, so why are you making a fuss?”

“……Ah, man, it’s embarrassing. Just pretend you didn’t hear me.”

Kyeon Geum-hee, who had been checking the real-time tab, responded without even raising her head.

“What did you say?”

“Hey, hey, get out of here. She doesn’t care about her brother’s business. Don’t you know that yet?”

“The more I look at it, the more amazing it is. If my blood relative were a celestial ranker, I’d carry him around. If he’s as handsome as Bambi, I’d even be willing to give him some pocket money.”

“Hey, oppa, you usually give me allowance. It’s forced allowance.”

“Oh, what I’m saying is, that bastard is just raising the carbon dioxide level while he’s alive. If the gate bursts over that bastard’s head, he’ll be so happy.”

Even while they are babbling away, their eyes are fixed on the screen.

That’s what Hunters are like. They have the power to steal attention wherever they go.

Especially rankers.

Even the battle live of the Celestial Rankers, like the Gyeonjirok, was not something that could be seen every day.

The only person in this cafe who wasn’t looking at the TV was Kyeon Geum-hee, who was looking at her phone.

“Wow……Wow, wow. Did you see the turn just now? Oh, come out in the morning. What’s our Bambi Bambi world ranking?”

“It must be 11th place.”

“As expected, they’re on a different level. They’re definitely not human.”

“It hasn’t even been that long since their debut, but considering that they’re S-class, their talent is truly amazing… Come to think of it, their family is also quite amazing. Their older brother is a Wolrang, and Geumgeum is a Hunter too. I heard their father was a Hunter too? Excluding their mother and older sister, isn’t this a complete Hunter family?”

“I’m jealous. But Gyeonjirok is so heavenly alone. It’s fortunate that he has a normal sister. It was just Geumgeum and me. If it were me, I would have felt a bit deprived and strange.”

Kyeon Geum-hee’s fingers, which had been moving busily, stop.

He raised his head for the first time. Kyeon Geum-hee laughed nonchalantly.

“What are you talking about? What kind of deprivation is this between family members? And I don’t get hurt anywhere either! Why is this happening?”

“That’s right. We’re YouTubers, you guys. We have ten thousand subscribers.”

“I heard Bambi’s Instagram followers surpassed 300 million yesterday? Ten thousand and 300 million… Isn’t that why our GumiGumi is crying?”

“Kwak Seo-ra, you’re crossing the line. I’m leaving.”

“Oh, why? Where are you going? Are you angry?”

“Okay. I was going to go anyway. There’s a fuss going on here and there with live broadcasts saying that Top Ten has been released. I’m also thinking of going to Bukhansan. Seolpo, do you want to go together?”

Seol Bo-mi happily got up, saying it was good.

At that moment, Kwak Seo-ra, who was watching the screen where the observation log was displayed, said something without thinking.

“Hey, what are you doing, you idiot? Just use your chance. I’ll get 30 million subscribers in an hour.”

Seol Bomi next to him didn’t even have time to stop him.

evil!

All eyes that were focused on the TV turned around at the loud noise.

Kyeon Geum-hee didn’t care and just put strength into the hand that held her hair.

Kwak Seo-ra, with her head tilted back, starts to cry in surprise.

“Why, why!”

“Speak with some sense. Don’t just spit out facts, even if they’re facts. Why would facts be ‘violent’, Sera? It hurts because it’s true. It makes you feel bad because it hurts. Sera, are you a thug?”

“……S, sorry.”

“Yeah. I’m sorry. If you call me, I’ll call you. Geum-hee has plans, so don’t worry about it. We don’t know each other.”

Kyeon Geum-hee smiled brightly and waved her hand away.

And the smile disappears as soon as you turn around.

Seol Bomi slowly took notice and linked arms with me.

“I… didn’t say anything.”

“You’re already out of the Bambi sucking game.”

“Eww. Okay, cheer up. Should I go get my nails done?”

“I said I was going to Bukhansan. I heard that Jeonggilgaon is already there. Even if I can’t get to the surrounding area, if I do well, I think I’ll be able to see the way home from work.”

“What? Why are you telling me that now? Hey, let’s go quickly.”

Just before leaving the cafe.

Kyeon Geum-hee glances back at the television.

A wooden prison that rises along the long spear of the Gyeonjirok that draws the floor.

In an instant, a forest is born right in the middle of the city.

The fourth-grade monsters, the alien blood knights, were swallowed up without even being able to reach him.

Without even looking back at them, Kyeonjirok ran straight towards the giant otherworldly monster in front of him.

With eyes filled with quiet joy.

‘Oh my. The switch is turned on. You promised to bring me today no matter what… I wonder where Nodap is and what he’s doing now.’

Because I’m an ordinary person, I can’t even laugh.

Well, it’s an annual event, so it’s not completely wrong, right?

‘Why did I have to be born as a human? I guess I’ll just be born as a cat in a rural village.’

Life ha…..

My steps become rough as I think of someone in my hopeless life.

A gait that has become almost a family tradition in the Kyeon family thanks to someone who makes me mad just looking at it.

Seol Bomi hurriedly followed her friend’s back, who looked angry for some reason.

Behind them as they left, loud cheers of joy at the victory of Gyeonjirok rang out.

* * *

“Wow. You’re doing well. You’re growing well.”

“Oh, you’re doing pretty well!”

Tak. Baek Do-hyeon landed lightly.

Indeed, the regressor who played around a bit was different no matter what.

After the break, it was a real success.

About two hours of nonstop killing of mutant cannibals.

Five hours after the tutorial started, the boss fight was already imminent.

You’ll also come across a village of cannibals happily eating a meal, and pass through a creepy swamp.

There were a lot of things going on, but nothing that involved Geo in a big way.

Sometimes, I just shoot them a few times from behind.

Of course, that gun was a demon gun taken from Matan’s shooter, but let’s ignore that little thing.

‘I’m starting to feel a little embarrassed because there’s not much adversity. Could it be that Babel… has been hit?’

To the wicked star blinded by love?

My house was going to collapse soon, so I stamped the seal in a hurry, and it turned out it was for redevelopment?

[Your Covenant, the ‘Reader of Fate’, coughs, as if he can hear everything.]

[Babel turns his head and coughs again, saying that he is not that naive.]

But even in the midst of all this, the growth rate continued to rise steadily.

+ 00:05:09:15 Growth Buff (x5)

*(on)/off

[Unique Skill, ‘Library Flower’ Proficiency: 17.12%]

[Title traits, ‘Heart of the Dragon Horse’, ‘Magic Delay’ (Growing in Stage 2)]

17.12%……

Let’s just stay still and see.

Even though I’m a third-time art school entrance exam taker who sleeps soundly during math class, mental calculations like this are a piece of cake.

If you safely receive the completion reward, um……

‘Come to think of it, it seems like it was the fault of the one who got fooled.’

I almost ruined the project because of petty sympathy.

I steeled my resolve to be a cold, insensitive city girl.

Hmm, he nods and pulls the assistant next to him back.

Kuung-.

Finally, we reach the final stage of the tutorial, inside the rock cave.

The place where Na Jo-yeon was standing collapses.

Geo continued to think as he flew over to pick her up and landed.

‘Of course, I still have to maintain my dignity and save face, so even if he’s a fool who was fooled so badly, I have to show him some humanity. Especially to a fool who gives so generously.’

Kookoo gugugu- thump!

“Whoaaah!”

Institutional trap.

Thousands of poisonous arrows pour down like a heavy rain.

Geo thought about it as he roughly rolled his feet to turn on the shield.

The arrows bounced off the barrier pitifully.

‘Nothing more, just enough to save face. But hmm, what on earth should I do?’

Char- Shhhhh-!

“Oh, Mom…?”

Mandokgul.

The poisonous snakes of the other world bared their fangs under the pillar bridge.

Geo walked over it with a thud, his brows furrowed.

The pillar bridges that had been scattered here and there were now connected like a smooth paved road.

‘There’s nothing to do. That regressor is too much. Boss? Should I take the boss’s throat? Hey. At least steal the boss for the tutorial.’

If it’s blocked like that, break it down, and if there’s no path, make one and walk for dozens of minutes…

Oh my.

Kyeonji-oh crossed his arms under the giant stone statues and sighed deeply.

“What? A boss dungeon? Why is there nothing? There’s nothing to do!”

“……”

“……Jo, JoJo Nim! Back, back!”

“Huh? What the heck is this? You’re glaring at me without any manners when I’m talking to someone!”

‘Meow meow comfort.’

‘It’s so comfortable.’

Baek Do-hyun and Na Jo-yeon thought about it at the same time.

And the final checkpoint of the scenario “The Beginning of the Ceremony: No Longer Human” is a fist swinging in the air.

Ancient stone statues that guarded human sacrifice ceremonies.

The red light in the eyes of the gatekeepers of the savage god who had awakened after a thousand years had completely faded.

In effect, it was a loss of function.

“As for the interior design… who would put decorations in a place like this?”

“That was originally there… No, that’s not it… Should I go in?”

“Wait a minute. You see, I’ve been thinking about it. I think it would be best for our Baek Butler to finish the boss stage. There are a lot of them, but I’ll gladly give in.”

“Oh my. How can a person’s stomach be this big! Your distribution is truly amazing!”

“Can’t you tell just by looking at him? He was born with great talent.”

“Ahh. It’s so big I can’t even look at it. JoJo Niim!”

‘I think it was just a mid-boss…….’

They say dead people don’t speak.

Besides, it was hard to even say anything, and he died in a very meaningless way as a mid-boss.

However, from Baek Do-hyun’s perspective, the difficulty of the stage didn’t seem to be much different from the previous round, except that the hand movements had become more vicious.

I wonder if the difficulty level doesn’t change until the boss fight?

While gathering his thoughts, Baek Do-hyeon took the lead and pushed the huge stone gate.

Then…..

What immediately covered them was fog.

It was a thick fog that clouded my consciousness.

* * *

……Huh.

……

Oops.

You forgot to mention the mental attack resistance.

The distant saint belatedly slapped his forehead as he watched the incarnation fall like a doll with its strings cut.
