I’m the only magic tower owner episode 027
I was among old ruin-like concrete buildings.
Although dungeonization does not seem to have taken place yet, this city itself was a dungeon in many ways.
While walking down a dirty alley with trash strewn about, it was rare to spot someone.
The middle-aged man, with lifeless eyes and a strong smell of alcohol, was walking unsteadily, hit the wall, fell, and lay down on the spot as if he was annoyed and fell asleep.
I turned into the next alley. A woman sitting on the cobweb-covered floor, smoking a cigarette, looks at me closely.
He roughly covered his body with straw, exposing his bare legs covered in black grime.
The hair that had become scattered was rough and messy.
“Outsiders?”
He asks. When I turn around, she grins and spreads one of her fingers.
“Ten thousand won.”
I felt something nauseating inside me, so I turned my head and looked away.
“Hurry and evacuate out of the city. Monsters will appear soon.”
“9,000 won.”
… … As expected, there seemed to be no room for conversation.
Most of the people I saw in this city were like this.
No matter how hard we tried to inform people about this situation, it was impossible to move these people who seemed to have no obsession with life with just words. It will continue to be like this until something happens.
As I ignored it and walked away, the woman raised her finger and said.
“Isn’t this it? There’s only one reason city people come here.”
“…….”
“Or perhaps a hunter? If it’s a monster problem, don’t worry. That kid will take care of it.”
kid?
I turned around to see what was going on, and people who smelled of alcohol were flocking this way. There was nothing good about getting into a fight with the residents for no reason, so I quickly left the place.
As I was walking through the dirty alley, I was able to find a building of the right height. I went up there.
Sigh. Sigh. Every time I climbed the stairs, a monotonous noise tickled my ears.
On the second floor, two men were seen sleeping, sprawled out, giving off a terrible odor. Hanhwatu were scattered all over the place, and soju bottles were rolling around so much that they hit one’s feet.
I continued climbing until I reached the 4th floor of the building.
There was no one here. I took the speaker out of my pocket, connected it to the string, hung it by the window, and then put the smartphone to my ear.
“This side is finished.”
-We just finished it too, Top Owner.
“Then wait in your seat. It looks like the security here is the worst, so take care of yourself.”
-Oh my, you’re a senior! Are you worried about me now?
After pressing the end call button, I sat down on an old, half-broken chair and took a quick breather. I didn’t do anything, but I was tired.
I stared blankly out the window.
Maybe it’s because the atmosphere of the city is sick, but even I feel like I’m losing strength as I come in.
While taking a break, I quietly looked out the window.
‘It’s really varied.’
Now I see a person staggering around and crawling on the floor. It’s a scene I’m familiar with since I came here, so I’m going to skip it.
‘for a moment.’
Something was strange. He started shaking his back violently and shaking his limbs as if he was having a seizure.
It wasn’t a person.
-Kyaaagh!
-Wow!
‘It has begun.’
I gathered up my magic power and ran down the stairs.
People started screaming from all over the city.

Buuuuuuung!
A luxury foreign car was driving on the highway, emitting a harsh exhaust sound. The man in the passenger seat had one hand out the open window and was smoking a cigarette with the other.
His name is Ma Jong-guk.
He is a certified level 5 hunter.
However, Ma Jong-guk was not in a good mood today. He exhaled a large puff of cigarette smoke and glanced at the back seat.
Three new minnows.
These are the guild’s prospects aiming to pass the Certified Hunter Exam this year.
‘But why am I in charge of taking care of the child?’
He said that other colleagues are participating in raid operations in conjunction with other guilds, but he has to go to level 2 dungeons with licensed children. Once I sold it, I was in trouble.
Ma Jong-guk blew the cigarette he was burning out the window and turned his head.
“How long will it take?”
The driver was an elderly middle-aged man, but Ma Jong-seok did not seem to respect him at all. The driver also answered with a very nervous look on his face.
“We’ll be there in three hours.”
“Oh, it’s so far away. Really.”
The rookies in the back seat were shocked and looked at Ma Jong-guk.
I can’t believe I just had to waste the day like this. Ma Jong-guk was irritated.
I wanted to get angry at those damn prospects, but I couldn’t.
My current job of babysitting was like a kind of punishment given by the guild.
This time, I had to endure it without any trouble.
“what?”
At that time, Ma Jong-guk saw a strange sight. A group of people were coming up the highway.

“Stop it.”
Good!
When the car stopped smoothly, people flocked in as if they had been waiting.
“Sa, please help me! Please give us a ride!”
“Monster! Monster…”
Ma Jong-guk rolled down the window and frowned.
“Oh, I have to explain what’s going on before I’ll give you a ride in the car or catch a monster.”
“You’re saying you can catch monsters? Ho, maybe…”
This was the moment Ma Jong-guk enjoyed the most. As if he had been waiting, he took out the Hunter Ball certification from his inner pocket and held it out.
“Level 5 certified hunter, Ma Jong-guk.”
“Oh! He’s a real hunter!”
“Please help! Zombies have appeared in the village!”
“Zombies? Which town?”
Ma Jong-guk grinned after hearing the detailed address from the people.
“Don’t overdo it. Just go. It looks like the neighborhood over there has been turned into a dungeon, and they don’t come out of their area.”
Ma Jong-guk immediately rolled up the window and ordered the driver to leave.
“Hey, what kind of rice cake is this? Uncle, let’s take a look at the address we heard earlier on the navigation system and let’s go.”
The driver looked at him in surprise.
“B-but the guild’s schedule… everyone is probably waiting.”
At those words, Ma Jong-guk took a deep breath and raised his legs.
Wow!
The window next to the driver’s seat broke with a single kick. The driver was scared and twisted his body.
“……Huh, heh!”
“Oh, Mr. Hold the steering wheel straight and steer! Man, who am I?”
“Well, certified level 5 hunter Ma Jong-guk…”
“Is this your first time working in this branch? The original job of being a hunter is a series of variables. A dungeon has appeared? Then you can go there without saying anything. If you complain about my words one more time…”
In the end, the driver turned as instructed by Ma Jong-guk. Ma Jong-guk grinned and rested his elbow on the window sill and rested his chin on it.
‘What kind of cake is this? If you do well, you’ll get a fair share of it, right?’

It was literally in the blink of an eye for a city to become a ‘dungeon’. Monsters were popping out from everywhere, just like you see in movies.
Of course, those monsters were ‘zombies’ according to Jeong Seo-jin’s information.
It looks similar to what I thought. Terrible inflammation spread widely throughout the body, rotten flesh was rotting, and it was screaming as it rolled out its eyes and stretched out its pale arms.
I was frantically fending off zombies and evacuating the people of Harlem.
“Ugh, wow!”
Right in front of me, a homeless person was screaming and running away. The zombie that followed her grabbed the homeless man’s leg, knocked her down, and gaped at her thigh.
Golden arrows shot out of the air and hit the zombies’ heads one after another.
Meanwhile, the homeless man escaped in a hurry.
“It’s over there! Evacuate out of the city!”
The homeless man ran away in the direction I pointed.
After confirming that I had escaped safely, I looked away. I thought I had dealt a fairly fatal blow, but the zombie continued to stride despite being hit on the head.
Maybe it’s because it’s rank 3, but it’s extremely sturdy.
I looked around, keeping zombies in check with Rapid Arrow. Nearly a dozen zombies were swarming from one alley.
I retreated back and contacted Jeong Seo-jin.
“Start.”
Alarms rang out all over the city at my signal.
-Emergency situation. This is an emergency! A monster has appeared. Please evacuate quickly to a nearby evacuation facility through the emergency exit!
The sound of sirens covered the city.
A warning broadcast downloaded from the Hunter website was played through speakers installed throughout the building.
To inform people who are still in the house or asleep of the situation. and.
-Keeeeeeek!
-Kyaaagh!
This is a tactic to drive sound-sensitive zombies into empty buildings.
I could barely take a breath as some of the zombies that were chasing me rushed in the direction where the alarm sound was heard.
“Sir! This is all over!”
Jin Jin-ra, who was in charge of the opposite direction, came running waving her hand.
“Okay, good job…”
At that moment, my pupils suddenly enlarged. The stone wall on the right collapsed and a zombie jumped out with its arms wide open.
She was so shocked that her movements froze.
‘… … too far!’
I tried to use a shield, but the distance of ‘remote casting’ was not reachable. The moment when the zombie’s gaping maw was heading towards the nape of her neck.
Stand tall.
The movement stopped right in front of the nape of the neck.
‘what?’
The zombie, who was shaking his head as if he was overloaded, suddenly turned his gaze elsewhere. Then she started running in that direction, leaving Jinbo alone.
“Look! Are you okay?”
Jin Jin-ra, who was sitting down in her seat and staring blankly into space, suddenly shouted.
“I’m fine! More than that, the residents over there….”
The zombie that was trying to attack Jin Jin-ra changed its target and was targeting Harlem residents. I quickly chanted an attack spell.
The ice spear deployed at maximum speed pierced the zombie’s leg and became lodged in the floor.
After blocking the movement of the zombies, he shouted to the collapsed resident.
“Quickly avoid this gap!”
“Go, thank you!”
The villager ran away, and I approached the zombie with frozen legs. It opens its mouth wide and is trying to bite me.
When I unfolded the shield to block the way forward, the creature was struggling and pressing its teeth into the shield, as if it wasn’t very intelligent.
‘They’re just undead. What was that?’
I sighed and struck the guy’s head with the gauntlet I wore on my right arm.
Kwasik!
Blue sparks flew out and the zombie’s head fell to the floor. She stomped on him to prevent him from getting up, and stuck the player-only dagger she had brought to use as a blade into his neck.
Wow. Crash.
As I put my weight on it and twisted the knife, the trembling limbs gradually stopped moving and soon became limp.
I’ve caught many monsters, but it wasn’t a very pleasant feeling to kill something that looked like a human.
“Seniors!”
Jin Jin-ra approached. I pulled out the dagger, wiped the slime on the floor, and put it back in my belt.
“Thank goodness. Are you hurt anywhere?”
“Yes, Thanks.”
I thought she must have been very surprised, but she was smiling brightly and shaking off her clothes.
“More than that, how did this happen? The zombies left me alone and attacked the residents here, right?”
“……It looked that way to my eyes too.”
This is the first time I have heard of the undead targeting people and attacking them.
Well, that’s not what’s important right now.
“If the zombies are persistently attacking the residents, that’s also a problem. Can you keep fighting?”
“Sure!”
A shrieking scream was heard from the building next door. This was followed by the sound of furniture falling over and the sharp cries characteristic of zombies.
“Let’s hurry.”
“yes!”
