#19. Hound Dungeon (1)
[Evil energy overflows from the target!]
[The target expresses clear malicious intent!]
A message overlaid on Hades’ face.
In an already dark space, Hades’ face, overlaid with a bluish hologram, was so scary.
‘Am I ruined…? .’
I could tell without having to use my intuition. This is a really dangerous situation.
[Hmm~ Are you mute?]
Hades glanced at Persephone.
[How did this person discover ‘Cerberus’ leash’?]
Persephone had a sullen expression.
A face that says he doesn’t like this situation very much.
“I found it on my own. “Why did you hide it so poorly?”
[…] How sloppy! Originally, it was dark under the lamp.]
“You were the one who told the nymphs and part-time workers to look for the Cerberus leash on a certain day. “Why do you get angry when you actually find it?”
[that… .]
Hades is great! I clear my throat and look toward the empty riverside.
It was unexpected.
Unexpectedly, Hades was transfixed by Persephone.
‘what? Was he a lover?’
[Still, running away without saying a word is a bit harsh.]
“Running away? It’s just an outing. “I came right away just to see my mom.”
[Still, I’m worried… .]
“What are you worried about, am I a child?”
After that, the two continued to argue and argue for a while, but every time Hades ended up in a difficult situation.
at last,
[Ah, that’s enough. I’ll talk to you later. First of all, let’s start with this obnoxious guy… .]
Hades’ bloodless hand instantly approached Damdeok’s head.
It was definitely true.
[The target has murderous intent!]
I just lightly stretched out my hand.
Cells throughout the body were sending signals that there was danger.
‘If you touch it, you will definitely die!’
Regardless of my part-time job, I thought it would be better to throw myself into the River Styx.
The moment you try to activate the skill ‘Wind Rush’,
“What are you doing now?”
Persephone’s sharp voice was heard.
Hades’ large hand stood still.
[Ah, let’s deal with this guy first… .]
“It’s okay, go in quickly. “My story isn’t over yet.”
Seeing Persephone turning away coldly, Hades didn’t know what to do.
“what are you doing? “Is killing a low-level god like that more important than talking to me?”
[No, it’s not like that… .]
Hades’ hand stopped in the air, unable to do this or that.
“Are you really going to do this? How many days have I been away? It’s only half a day! They’ve become the kings of the underworld and don’t understand a single thing! “Sneaky!”
[It’s a little bit… .]
“That’s Okay! “Jjomsaengi!”
Hades bowed his head. It was a truly hurt face.
Persephone glanced at Hades and approached me without hesitation.
“What is this low-level god… .”
She pointed to the golden apple with her eyes.
‘… What, take care of it?’
As soon as my hand touched the apple, her hand was placed on top of my head.
“I’ll take care of your part-time expenses, so don’t come near me again! “Don’t even think about reporting it to the system.”
Persephone said and winked. Behind her, Hades’ gloomy eyes are visible.
[Ah, I still want to kill that guy… .]
After he mumbled those creepy words for the last time, my vision went completely dark.

“… “It’s a miracle!”
Inside the treatment room.
My mother’s thin shoulders trembled at the doctor’s words.
“Good, teacher. Is it really… ?”
“Yes, it’s difficult to say exactly, but my mother’s cancer cells have completely disappeared. Huh, this is something that cannot be explained by modern medicine… .”
The doctor seemed to be embarrassed and continued speaking intermittently.
A smile slowly spread across Damdeok’s lips.
‘also. The golden apples worked.’
As soon as I returned from the underworld, I gave my mother a golden apple.
I ground it whole with the skin on in case it didn’t work.

And then the next day.
The hospital was turned upside down.
In tests before receiving chemotherapy, all of the mother’s blood levels came back normal.
‘It remains to be seen whether it will truly become an immortal body that neither ages nor dies… .’
In any case, it was a great blessing that my mother’s terminal illness was completely cured.
“Huh… Thank you thank you… .”
I carefully supported my mother, who was shedding tears incessantly.
Even as I left the hospital and waited for a taxi, my mother turned around and looked at the hospital for a long time.
“What is going on, what is this…” .”
“What’s going on? I told you so. “Now all that’s left is to be happy.”
A call taxi arrived just in time.
I said as I opened the backseat door.
“Get in, Mom.”
* * *
Jongno, Sangun Guild main building.
From the entrance, in front of the magnificently tiled building, there were security personnel lined up that looked unusual at first glance.
“Yes, Damdeok Yu. “You have been confirmed.”
I reaffirmed the friendly staff member’s words.
“I’m not a real guild member, but can I join?”
“Of course, that card is for VIP use only. “Whether it’s a training center or convenience facilities, they’re all free, so you can use anything.”
The card given by Addressul.
To conclude, it was a hit.
‘Wow, this is what the guild main building is like… .’
A space that I, as a person with no talent, could not even dream of.
The magnificent tiled buildings lined up at different angles even created the illusion of being from another era.
‘There are all kinds of things… .’
There are hot springs and saunas to relieve hunters’ fatigue, as well as movie theaters, game rooms, convenience stores, and various restaurants.
To be honest, it was a view that could be said to be a small city.
Damdeok entered a large building with ‘Training Center’ written on it.
“Wow, it’s so spacious.”
A spacious space that feels refreshing just by looking at it.
Not only does it have flashy top-of-the-line training equipment and a sophisticated sparring space, but it also has state-of-the-art simulation devices that estimate the price of a foreign car per car!
“How much money do you have?”
Damdeok clicked his tongue and approached one of the training equipment.
The scarecrow is a required course for beginner prosecutors.
To be honest, it was closer to a wooden doll than a scarecrow.
“Let’s try it.”
Snow White, who was yawning above her head, instantly turned into a wooden sword.
A training wooden sword often used by beginner hunters.
“Hmm, it’s a bit awkward trying to swing at someone who is still.”
I just swung it recklessly.
Sigh!
Electricity passed through with a sound.
“Uh, what is it?”
It was a natural phenomenon when swinging a wooden sword for the first time, but Damdeok didn’t like it at all.
‘But now my name is Geomshin (劍神)… .’
Isn’t it true that he has shed the label of the lowest-class god and now has a proper name? But he’s a swordsman who can’t even swing a wooden sword properly.
It was ridiculous.
“Let’s focus. Concentration!”
Phew, I slowly caught my breath and focused on the wooden sword itself.
[Power intuition is unleashed!]
I feel it.
The flow of divine power oscillating within the body.
Talents in swordsmanship and martial arts wriggle with different waves.
Soon, we will learn how to attack the wooden doll with the best efficiency… .
Damdeok’s eyes opened brightly.
Sigh! Perfect!
A lighter sound than before.
‘It’s a little lacking.’
When I hit it, it felt like it was slightly off.
‘Just add a little more!’
Sigh! Sigh!
Damdeok’s movements quickly fell into a trance.
The sound of the wooden sword gradually getting louder.
People hanging on the state-of-the-art equipment began to glance at Damdeok.
“huh? what? “Why are you hitting on a wooden doll so seriously?”
“It’s a face I haven’t seen before? “Are you a new guild member?”
“Making wooden dolls is a basic skill that can only be learned at academies… .”
But their annoyance did not last long. The sound of a wooden sword, which was ordinary at first, became louder as time passed, as if a loudspeaker had been installed.
Wow!! Wow!!
Suddenly, the people around him were watching Damdeok’s training as if they were fascinated.
“It’s definitely a basic movement… .”
“How does it make a sound like that?”
“It’s strange, strange.”
The basic of basics, hitting your head.
Damdeok’s swordsmanship was already possessed as if he were possessed.
After swinging for a while, Damdeok wiped away the sweat that had formed and straightened his sword.
‘Okay, I think this is pretty much it.’
I was satisfied.
Unlike the first time, it felt very refreshing to see that every time I swung it, the result clicked together.
That wasn’t all. The eyes of the people watching also became alive.
“Something stimulates me.”
“right? “Let’s give it a try.”
People slowly gathered in the empty wooden doll training zone.
Percussion! widely!
Sigh! Perfect!
But no one could make a sound like Damdeok.
“What, why not?”
“It’s strange… .”
“Having your head is a movement you’re tired of doing at the academy.”
People looked embarrassed and glanced at Damdeok, who was resting.
Show me one more time!
Then I think you can follow along!
Those looks were delivered to Damdeok all at once.
“Wow, training is hard.”
Damdeok was quietly wiping away his sweat and enjoying the refreshing feeling that never went away.
Although I originally liked sports, I was far from accomplished due to my lack of talent.
But the feeling right now is really,
‘I feel like I was reborn.’
Not the untalented Yu Dam-deok,
By Yu Dam-deok, the swordsman.
“Tsk!”
When I sat still, it started to hurt.
Damdeok stood in front of another wooden doll.
“Hmph!”
I focused on my breathing again. At the same time, people’s eyes filled with anticipation gathered together.
‘Okay, try again right now!’
‘I’ll do the same for you!’
But what Damdeok took out was not a wooden sword.
– will!
The white pet on Damdeok’s head curled up… .
“Eh?”
“What is that?”
“Knuckles?”
Transformed into knuckles only used by martial artists.
It was surprising that the summoned beasts could be turned into weapons, but they were now more into Damdeok’s swordsmanship.
Why are you inspecting the knuckles?
The puzzled looks soon turned into astonishment.
puck! Pow!
At first, the fist-pumping motion was quite ordinary,
Burbubbuk! Puff pop!
As time went by, it became lighter and heavier, and as kicks were added, spectacular striking sounds exploded like firecrackers.
“What is that person… .”
“Are you a Mutugaya prosecutor?”
“Isn’t that enough for both?”
The hunters, who were swordsmen, looked at the scene dumbfounded, and the martial artists who were exercising weights from afar were also looking this way with interest.
Damdeok’s mood was also at its peak.
‘My body is much lighter.’
After learning how to use divine power, my movements definitely became more efficient.
‘When you punch, you channel your energy into your fist, and when you kick, you channel it into your leg…’
Paang! Papang!
It was clearly hitting hard wood, but the sound of a punch as if hitting a sandbag kept ringing out.
“Whoa.”
I wiped away the sweat that was pouring down like rain and took a moment to catch my breath.
‘My combat skills have definitely improved a lot after working part-time at Cerberus.’
Achieving 10,000 spiritual power, the intuition gained through the power of the Sword God, the wind sprint skill gained thanks to Cerberus, and even how to use divine power taught by Persephone.
It was a part-time job that gave me more benefits than ever before.
‘As a bonus, I got a golden apple and the tree of knowledge of good and evil, so I told you everything.’
If there is one thing I regret,
“Is Albabi still there…? .”
I fiddled with the system.
[Amount held: 0]
Persephone said she would deposit the money, but there is no news yet.
‘I don’t think he will keep his promise, so let’s wait.’
To be honest, it was a price worth paying just for getting me out of Hades… .
‘Still, the salary was double.’
As I was looking around with disappointment, the ‘NEW’ mark on the profile caught my eye.
“Have new skills been updated?”
When defeating the dead, I gained several skills related to swordsmanship.
“Let’s see how many there are.”
A familiar window appeared before my eyes.
[Yoo Dam-deok (human)]
[Occupation: Lesser God]
[Title: Sword God]
[Holy Power: 10780]
[Power: Intuition]
[Talent: Swordsmanship talent (SS), martial arts talent (SS)]
[Skills: Combat concentration (S), Dwarf hammer (B), vertical cut (C), stab (D), horizontal cut (E), boxing (E+), dagger technique (E), wind sprint (E), counterattack (F)… .]
But it wasn’t just a new skill. A new section was added at the bottom.
[Title: The one who tamed Cerberus!]
Description: A dog among dogs! You have tamed the charismatic sentinel of hell!
From now on, all dogs in the world will look up to you.
Congrats! The opening ceremony is announced!
dog… Becoming president?
It was a bit unclear whether it was good or not, but it was a time when I was imagining its own merits.
Oh my!
A siren rang out.
– Dungeon appears! Dungeon appears! Please gather your combat personnel immediately!
The people who were training began to run out in a hurry.
After briefly considering whether to follow along, I decided to quit.
‘Let’s focus on training now.’
Unless there are special situations such as a labyrinth dungeon, the dungeon clearing rate is close to 90%.
Even if I don’t have to step forward… .
However, Damdeok had no choice but to stop when he heard the sound of the broadcast that followed.
– The type of dungeon is Hound! Canine monsters are appearing in large numbers!
“… “Canine?”
