[Episode 03] Hunting (3)
Ugh
Under the bright moon, the red light from the apartment building shines ominously in the dark shadows.
Crack!
North side road.
The owner of that place was a humanoid demon.
It was a monster with pitch-black hair growing coarsely all over its body.
Ugh!
The bastard was busy breaking the goblin’s neck.
‘Kill me.’
Dozens of goblin corpses strewn around him gave off a rotting smell.
Suddenly―
It was difficult to see hunting as simply a means of solving hunger.
The dozens of corpses lying around the bastard were full of malice.
Even now, the way he focused on destroying the goblin’s body seemed closer to venting his anger than hunting.
‘Kill me.’
None of the goblin corpses were intact.
All were badly damaged and scattered in pieces.
“Krrrrrr.”
What was a bit surprising was that there wasn’t a single human corpse around.
All that lay piled up around him were the corpses of goblins.
‘more.’
The one who had just finished dismembering the goblin he was holding in his mouth searched for its next prey with its red eyes shining.
‘I need more.’
The screams of the hateful goblins could be heard through his ears.
“Kkieeeek―! Kkieeeek―! Kkieeeek―!”
When I heard the excited and screaming goblins, my beastly instincts reached their peak.
‘Underground parking lot.’
Even though he had previously stormed into their den and suffered numerous wounds, he did not hesitate in his steps.
Those wounds have already healed completely long ago.
‘Kill me.’
It’s hunting time.
***
Shushuk-
Choi Hyeong-jun appeared with a sound that sounded like space was being distorted.
‘Whew. That was almost a disaster.’
While the operation was in progress, Choi Hyeong-jun was continuously watched with the eyes of the Absolute.
It was to use the summoning skill immediately in case something happened.
I hoped that wouldn’t happen, but it almost did, and I ended up using my summoning skill right away.
‘But I didn’t know it would take 3 seconds to cast the skill.’
It actually took a little longer than that because I had to turn off the Absolute’s Eye to cast the skill.
“Huh! Huh!”
Choi Hyeong-jun appeared, breathing heavily, checked on me, and opened his mouth with a tearful face.
“Hey, Jaehyun! Ugh!”
“Are you hurt anywhere?” “Ugh. I’m fine.”
“That’s good. Huh?”
Contrary to what he said, blood was seen seeping out of Choi Hyeong-jun’s calf.
Choi Hyeong-jun, who followed my gaze and checked his calves, scratched his head and said.
“When was this… It’s okay. A wound like this will heal quickly.”
The wound did not appear to be very deep, judging by the minimal amount of blood oozing out.
It looked like it had been scratched by a goblin’s claws, which were obviously very dirty.
To prevent secondary infection, quick treatment was necessary.
‘I need to register the medicine too.’
There were more than one or two things that needed to be registered.
“No. Please wait here.”
“yes···.”
When I entered the house, I opened the drawer where the medicine was stored.
‘There may be more to use than you think.’
You will have to continue fighting monsters in the future.
In that case, minor injuries were common, and medicine was needed to treat him safely.
Red medicine, Fucidin, Dale bandages, cold medicine, digestive medicine, Tylenol, etc.
Perhaps because I was often sick when I was young, I tended to try to stock up on just about anything.
‘There were antibiotics too.’
Before the world became like this, I suffered from a boil on my body.
I had to go to the hospital a lot for a while, but like most people, I didn’t go back after I got better to some extent.
I forgot to take the medicine prescribed by the hospital, but it still remained.
‘penicillin.’
Penicillin was a drug so effective that it was considered the greatest drug ever invented by mankind.

It can be said that the history of human medicine is divided into before and after penicillin.
It was the most needed medicine now that monsters were appearing and minor injuries were sure to follow.
‘There are too many things to register.’
There were only a few slots left in the store.
With only 40 slots, it was difficult to fill them with basic necessities.
Since you don’t know when you’ll get skill points, it’s best to save as many remaining slots as possible.
Because you never know when you might get exactly what you need.
‘Will it work?’
There was one trick to save shop slots.
This was because I discovered that the toolbox that Choi Hyeong-jun had brought was registered all at once.
Even though there were several items inside the toolbox, including a hammer and a screwdriver, they were classified as one product.
‘That’s probably because it was sold as a set from the beginning.’
But the medicines here were a little different. They were all purchased separately and put together, so it was hard to tell if they would be recognized as a set.
‘Let’s give it a try.’
I stuffed as many medicines as I could into the first aid kit in the drawer and tried to register at the store.
Crude Used Medical First Aid Kit (77,330 won) ▶Repair
‘···It is possible.’
It was unnecessarily expensive and the price to repair it was ridiculously expensive, but I was able to confirm that even temporarily made items could be registered as a set.
‘I guess I’ll have to fix it later. It’s not needed right now.’
It was good, except that it was unnecessarily expensive.
Another advantage was that, if needed later, you could take out just that medicine and register it separately in the store.
As I went outside carrying a hastily made first aid kit and a bottle of water, I saw Choi Hyeong-jun waiting for me in a quiet manner.
“Please show me your scars.”
“It’s really okay···.”
When I pulled up my trousers, I could clearly see that they were lacerations caused by goblin claws.
The wound wasn’t that big, but the area around it was already red and swollen, so the condition didn’t look that good.
“I will disinfect it.”
“Oh, yes.”
I wiped the blood off with an alcohol swab and applied disinfectant. Choi Hyung-jun’s expression slightly distorted as if it stung, but soon his expression became relaxed as I applied ointment.
[Citizen Choi Hyeong-jun’s trust level increases.]
[Citizen Choi Hyeong-jun’s loyalty increases.]
“···thank you.”
“Take this too. It’s an antibiotic. Here’s some water.”
“Yes, yes.”
As the situation was over, the area below the emergency stairs began to become noisy, just in time.
‘You’re here.’
Behind the urgent footsteps of Hadonggun and his party, dozens and hundreds of goblins were pursuing them.
“We’re here! Just run a little more!”
This is something I learned while accepting over 90 people as citizens, the average level of an adult male is around 7 or 8.
However, the Ha Dong-gun party also had double-digit level women, including Kim Ga-young and Yoo Hye-rin.
Perhaps because he was a member of an athletic club, his physical strength is far better than that of the average person.
“Huh! Huh!”
They were having a hard time.
After observing the situation, I completely understood.
Climbing 30 floors at full speed was hard enough, but then there were goblins chasing after me from behind, full of murderous intent.
Moreover, the speed at which the goblin ran, using all four legs like a puppy, was extraordinary.
It was thanks to the brilliant teamwork of Ha Dong-geon’s party that we were able to escape here safely.
“Ugh!”
Kwajik!
As Moon Byeong-ho, who was at the very back, swung his bat, two goblins rolled down the stairs and attacked the goblins behind them.
The damage seemed to spread like dominoes, but that was only for a moment, as the goblins quickly regained their formation and pursued them.
“Byeong-ho! Run!”
While Moon Byung-ho was running, Kim Ga-young and Ha Dong-geon, who came up first, provided covering fire.
They deliberately targeted the goblins’ stomachs and shoulders.
Phew!
“Quite a lot!”
The injured goblins became obstacles and slowed down the advance of other goblins.
What fantastic teamwork.
Eventually, everyone was able to reach the 30th floor safely.
Doo doo doo doo!
Six people rushed through the emergency exit.
The sight was reminiscent of a sprinter crossing the finish line.
Immediately after that, the goblins that were following behind also tried to pass through the emergency exit without stopping their speed.
but.
Kookookookook!
“It’s pretty cute—!”
“Kkieeeek?!”
“Squeak!”
The goblins blocked by the transparent wall began to flounder, not knowing what to do.
“Ugh! Sob!”
While everyone was struggling to catch their breath, only one person remained unharmed.
Rather, he seemed to have some strength left and was swinging his bat vigorously at the goblins.
He was Moon Byung-ho, who had been active just before.
Kwajik!
[You have hunted a Goblin (Lv. 6).]
[Gain experience points.]
[10,085 won was deposited into the wallet of the absolute owner of the house.]
As Moon Byung-ho burst the head of a goblin, a cheerful alarm sounded.
‘It’s efficient.’
As a vassal, he was paid close to ten thousand won every time he caught a goblin.
This was because, with the additional 90% effect gained when the number of citizens exceeded 90, a total settlement amount of 380% was being paid due to the double privilege of the vassal.
It was also buffed by 380% with experience points.
“Huh! No, Byungho. Aren’t you out of breath? Phew.”
Kang Deok-su was looking at Moon Byeong-ho like a monster.
Moon Byung-ho answered while continuing to swing the bat hard.
“I don’t know either—!”
Phew!
[You have hunted a Goblin (Lv. 7).]
[Gain experience points.]
[12,711 won was deposited into the wallet of the absolute owner of the house.]
Every time Moon Byung-ho swung his bat, the goblin’s head was shattered.
Kim Geon muttered blankly after seeing that sight.
“···crazy.”
“What would have happened if Byung-ho hadn’t been there?”
“But did Byungho originally have that much stamina?”
Everyone in Ha Dong-geon’s party was shocked at the sight of Moon Byung-ho.
‘That makes sense.’
The reason why only Moon Byung-ho looked fine was because I registered him as a vassal.
and.
『Name: Moon Byeong-ho (Lv. 30) [+]
Title: [Second Species]
Trust: 55 Loyalty: 88
Awakening Ability: Teleport
★Quest Granting』
I don’t know the reason, but it must have been effective because the level of the registered Moon Byeong-ho had soared to 30.
Thanks to this, his physical strength and muscle power have become incomparable to those of others.
Hwa-ryong-jeom-jeong was an awakening ability.
Teleport (A grade)
Move through space by consuming mental power. This is only possible in places with a clear view, and mental power consumption increases in proportion to the number of companions and distance.
‘It was a good thing I registered.’
Honestly, I felt like I won the lottery.
Although it was limited to places with a clear field of vision, it was clear that this ability would be key to saving his parents.
That’s why, whenever I see Moon Byung-ho, a happy smile naturally appears on my face.
Kwajik!
“It’s pretty cute—!”
[You have hunted a Goblin (Lv. 6).]
[Gain experience points.]
[9,902 won was deposited into the wallet of the absolute owner of the house.]
It was truly admirable to see him steadily eliminate goblins and earn experience points and settlement money.
Of course, the number of goblins is so large that even if you deal with them steadily, it will take all day.
Luckily, I had a way.
Now it was time to move on to step three of the hunt.
“Everyone did a great job.”
When I opened my mouth, everyone looked at me.
Moon Byeong-ho, who was beating up the goblin hard, turned around and looked at me.
I said to Moon Byung-ho like that.
“It’s dangerous, so please come to the back.”
Moon Byung-ho tilted his head as if he didn’t understand what I meant, but soon followed my instructions.
After making sure everyone was far enough away from the emergency stairs, I raised my hand toward them.
‘The warehouse is open. All the water inside is being spit out.’
Jiiing―
The water that had been stored in the warehouse to its limit poured down like a waterfall.
Choaaaah!
“Giggle?”
“Squeak!”
Before the goblins could come to their senses, startled by the sudden shower.
“Mr. Choi Hyeong-jun. It’s now.”
“yep!”
Choi Hyeong-jun turned on the power to the power strip that was connected to my house.
Dismissal-
On the emergency staircase floor, the wires that Choi Hyeong-jun had laid out in a tight manner were tangled here and there, their coverings exposed.
And above them, there were goblins tangled up, soaking wet.
A strong current was released from the wires, which had been torn into several pieces by the peeling of their coverings, and soon a murderous sound was heard throughout the emergency staircase.
Jiji …
[You have hunted a Goblin (Lv. 6).]
[You have hunted a Goblin (Lv. 6).]
[You have hunted a Goblin (Lv. 7).]
······
······
Dozens of goblins were instantly turned into electric grills.
‘Okay.’
Of course, the only ones who died instantly from the electric attack were a few dozen nearby.
There were at least a few hundred goblins left behind.
But that wasn’t a problem.
‘If you do this over and over again, it’ll be over.’
A fair amount of electricity was released, quickly draining the money in my wallet, but an even greater amount of new money came in.
[Gain a large amount of experience points.]
[334,464 won was deposited into the wallet of the absolute owner of the house.]
[Skill level has increased.]
[You have acquired a new skill.]
A moment where you receive a huge amount of experience at once.
‘hmm?’
The Absolute’s eyes were forcibly activated.
At the same time, intense pain came over me.
‘Ugh!’
It was the same as before.
The excruciating pain experienced when the area of the corner of the house expanded.
The area expanded explosively with a feeling of swelling in the body.
But the direction was a little unusual this time.
The direction in which the senses expanded was the emergency staircase.
The sensation that stretched out through the emergency exit soon continued all the way to the second basement level.
Every detail of the emergency staircase filled with goblins was felt in detail.
and.
[Hostile entities have been discovered in the corner of the house.]
[Remove.]
With a concise reminder,
Phew!
All the goblins that had filled the emergency stairs had their heads blown off like firecrackers.
