30 – Unable to happen

I was completely distracted and admired her figure in a daze. Her dark-black hair and fair skin matched perfectly with the nameless jewel of her necklace, which radiated green light.

“This must be very expensive, right? Sun-moon, can I really get something like this?”

As if she was seriously contemplating whether she could keep it, she touched her necklace and came closer to me step by step and softly embraced her.

“Thank you…”

Kung- Kung-

The sound of her heart beating right now in my chest gives me the illusion that my heart is beating. Her sorrowful and vague emotions, which she had never felt before, swirled in a corner of her heart.

I involuntarily place my hand on her cheek and slowly sweep it down, resting her chin lightly.

“Ah…”

I can clearly see her purple eyes shaking wide. If I were human, the next thing I would do would be to move my lips towards her face.

However, when she sees the shape of a skull embracing the deep darkness reflected in her eyes, her heart cools rapidly as if ice water has been poured into it.

With nowhere else to go, I put her flustered hand on her head and stroked it lightly.

“Heh… hehehe… I like it…”

I don’t know what’s good about it, but it was clear that he was satisfied with the moment when he looked at the way he twisted his body.

After being stuck like that for a long time, they were separated due to the interruption of an uninvited guest.

King!! Wow!! King-!!

‘Dogs are real…’

(Away!! Away!!)

The strange atmosphere returned to its place due to Wang Wangi, who violently struggled to separate me and Yeonhee.

Kkadeuk- Kkadeuk-

Soon, Wang Wangi’s big bore bone eating show begins.

(The leg bones are the best!)

‘I always bring you bones, don’t you ever say thank you?’

(Leg bones are the best!!)

‘The ungrateful bastard…’

After watching Wang Wangi for a while, we talked about the ominous event that happened today.

“We don’t know why the kobold is like that, so let’s move on and think about what to do next.”

Nod-

“I intend to continue summoning kobolds.”

“Tick tock tock!!”

“Isn’t Ilwol thinking the same thing? Minimize contact with people as much as possible, and in the future, if we hear suspicious noises in the dungeon, let’s just ignore it and go on our way. Come to think of it, the recent events happened while we were eavesdropping on the conversation. It was an event.”

‘Well- I did. But how can I stand it when it sounds like that?’

“Of course, if you go to the Fire Monkey Dungeon, you will have to form a party, so it will be difficult to use kobolds, but it will be okay if you raise a few more summons before that.”

Nod-

Although he always seems flustered, his way of responding to work does not deviate from theory.

“To do that, I have no choice but to spend a little more time on Big Bore. It’s true that there are still some tough parts when dealing with Big Bore.”

‘That’s right. In particular, since we lack avant-garde, Yeon-hee needs more teammates to be strong in order to stably deal deals. Even a scarecrow like a kobold.’

“And ‘Rahn’ is a bit difficult to call unless it’s a crisis situation. Even with the artifact on, it’s still a bit too much to use every battle. I’ll consider investing in the recovery value, but it’s still too much.”

Nodding-

Since there wasn’t much difference from my thoughts, I was always nodding my head.

‘Tomorrow, I’m going to go and look for other routes and look for hidden places.’

Keep it off-

In the middle of the conversation, Wang Wangi started spitting out magic stones. Today, he spat out 3 of the lowest magic stones, and it was clear that the level of his conversion skill was rising.

‘Ah, I want to do it too, but there’s no other way.’

I tried holding the bone in my hand and turning my senses around, but I couldn’t find a way.

Wow- Wangang-!

Wangwangi was looking at me and making a triumphant expression, but that tail was very nasty.

“hehehehe- The king wants to sleep with his sister today? Now the king can keep at least one.”

‘Me, me?’

King! King! Krrr-

When I saw the dog’s eyes drawing an arc while looking at me, my heart ached instantly. Yeon-hee looked at me like that and said.

“Lee, with Ilwol, he’s a little… Okay, see you tomorrow!”

“Tick tock tock…”

Yeon-hee spat out the words as if she were running away, and rushed into the room holding Wang-i.

‘Eh tongue – let’s practice.’

Booung- Bung-

And the next day.

I entered the Big Bore Dungeon and tried to find a hidden place, but I couldn’t even find a similar place.

I had to be satisfied with the harvest of catching 5 big bores, 10 goblins and 3 slimes, and my income that day was about 350,000 won.

It was really surprising that an F-rank Hunter could earn this much a day, but it was an undeniable fact that my contribution was the greatest.

And we went up one more level amicably.

—–

[Skeleton Soldier Ilwol – Lv.16]

Strength: 46 Agility: 41 (+3) Stamina: 43 (+3)

Intelligence: 24 Power: 38 (+3) Resistance: 1

Sense: 21 Restoration: 5

As for the stats he needed, he kept his agility and stamina, and invested the rest in mana. Unfortunately, I couldn’t steal Big Boar’s traits, but those boars might not have such traits.

Because he has a good innate physicality, wouldn’t he have lived on only one charge?

Anyway, Yeon-hee finally reached level 20 and became an E-class hunter. When you reach E rank, you will receive monthly subsidies from the government according to your subjugation record, and you will be able to receive various medical benefits. But if there is something to receive, there must also be something to give.

“I was called to the first stage of the disaster.”

“·······.”

Generally speaking, the first stage of a disaster is lifesaving work or restoration work due to natural disasters. There is also a case of recruiting troops to block the monster break that often explodes.

The number of dungeons continues to increase, but the percentage of people awakening is not increasing that much. Even in the city center, a dungeon break would break out several times a year.

Of course, such a dungeon is a problem caused by the sudden appearance of champion-level or higher monsters.

“When there is an emergency, you have to go out to support at least once out of three times to maintain your hunter qualifications.”

Nod-

‘Dungeon breaks started to become more frequent in 2019… I’m sure there will be something to participate in sooner or later. What happened around this time of year?’

Subyung Park, Changsung University Subway Station, E-Brand Stock Warehouse, Guchang-ro 3rd Sinkhole······

About 10 of them came to mind at first glance. Among them, the Guchang-ro sinkhole case was the largest among the incidents that occurred in 2020.

‘I remember that most of the hunters in Seoul were called…’

An incident in which a huge sinkhole occurred and two types of monsters constantly crawled out of it, killing not only the D and E-class hunters who went to take the initial action, but also many C-class and higher hunters who followed.

‘It’s been 15 days… It’s not long.’

“And the sun and moon armor will take a week. Orders are backlogged.”

‘I guess so. No matter how flimsy the leather armor is, it has to be made by an engineer.’

“Huh? It’s already up! Stage 1. A lot of monsterized slimes appear in the underground canal… I’ll just skip this one. It’s too far away.”

Nod-

Dungeons don’t necessarily explode and spawn monsters. There are also naturally occurring monsters that increase the concentration of mana in the air, like the current case, but these guys are not a big threat because they are of a very low level. Most of them were slimes at most, or gas type monsters called foggers.

“Now- then, let’s open the summons again today~”

“Tickktoktaktak!!”

‘Even a goblin should come out, slime wouldn’t be bad either.’

Ugh-

After a while, a low-level portal opened and the one who crawled out of it.

From noble mtl dot com

‘It’s a sturgeon…’

Sasasak-

The sound is loud, but the movement is very slow. It’s about the size of a motorcycle helmet, so anyone who hates bugs should be in awe.

“Ah! I saw this on the internet!! Was this also a pet?”

Fortunately, Yeon-hee was a child who did not have such objection.

A bug-type monster that can often be found in low-level dungeons, this guy poses a threat to the enemy by raising its shell high into the sky in a crisis situation.

As the name suggests, the outer skin on the back is quite hard, so it probably won’t be easy to hit even with my current attack power.

However, if you turn it over, you can easily subdue it as the belly is a very fragile part. He is a guy who just needs to be careful not to be bitten while approaching to turn over or cut on the edge of the stiffly erected carapace…

‘Certainly, there is a part of the gray summoning book that makes you feel depressed. Rather, the kobold feels the best, doesn’t it?’

“Your back is stiff, so let’s use it!! I can’t yield this time!!”

“Just…”

Did you keep it in your heart?

“Anyway, let’s see what kind of abilities Knapper has, but I know roughly. Hmm-“

Yeonhee closed her eyes for a while and opened them again.

“As expected, the attribute is [Crouch], The skill is [Increase in size]… This doesn’t seem to be of much use in a fight, but uh-“

‘I should just crouch down next to Yeon-hee.’

“Shall we take a look? It’s hard- It’s getting bigger!!”

At Yeon-hee’s command, the iron beetle lifted the carapace from its buttocks into the sky with all its might, and made a threatening sound while fluttering.

‘That’s definitely an uncomfortable sound to hear. But that’s all.’

However, unlike me, who can hear the sound loudly only when he concentrates on his senses, Yeon-hee said, shaking her hand quickly, as if she didn’t want to hear it.

“Wow- maybe this could be useful for preventing monsters from approaching?”

‘Is that enough? Ho… It might work surprisingly well?’
