Episode 1
It rattled.
The bus goes over the speed bump. It was quite fast so I felt dizzy for a moment.
Thanks to this, the hood was removed.
“Miss, what is it?”
Some of the passengers are complaining.
The bus ran again indifferently, and I turned my gaze back out the window.
<It protects your safety. Glory Guild>
The name of Glory Guild appears on a billboard as big as a playground.
It is the best existing hunter guild in Korea.
New vested interests in a world that has changed.
Those who can protect the contracted jurisdiction and possibly solve my terminally ill life.
‘joy.’
I scoffed inwardly.
They are heroes, but not to me.
There is something called MMPT (Multi Monster Poison Test).
This is a test to check if you have been poisoned by a poisonous monster.
Once addicted, not only ordinary people but even decent hunters cannot survive for a year.
And unfortunately, I recently tested positive for MMPT.
“A month at most? Or 15 days, it’s difficult to give a definite answer.”
Damn it.
Even if you tell me the delivery period, it will be more detailed than that.
The doctor sentenced me to death in such insensitive words.
Well, since the monsters came out, people dying has become more common.
I just answered calmly.
“yes.”
“hmm… … . If you request transfer to the guild research center… … .”
“no. That’s it.”
The doctor looked at my outfit and closed the chart without any hesitation, as if he knew he would do so.
A famous guild’s laboratory.
So, it’s like the ‘Glory Guild’ lab on the billboard over there.
Large guild research centers possess medical technology that is comparable to that of regular hospitals.
Wouldn’t it be strange since this is a place that manages the survival of hunters?
If it were there, it might change or solve my terminally ill life.
However, only a very small number of civilians receive treatment at the guild laboratory.
why?
The reason is simple.
This is because the cost is so expensive that it makes you nauseous.
Safe hereditary, safe without arms.
This is a new word that arose as the power of the Guild Research Institute grew stronger.
If you have money, you can avoid death, but if you don’t have any money, you can’t even hope to survive.
“Knock, call.”
Since I was young, I frequently suffered from fever, headaches, and body aches.
Some people called this physical fever and some called it constitution.
‘What the f*ck do you need to know?’
From the perspective of a sick person, there is no difference, right? And as long as it hurts, you’re lucky.
What about the speckled spots that cover your entire body?
Even I was impressed when I saw a body that looked more like a monster than a monster.
“Our Haeseon is handsome.”
My sister always said that when she saw me like that.
Even hedgehogs look pretty with their babies.
Well, if it weren’t for this spot reflected on the bus glass, it might be a face worth looking at.
‘I don’t know, what does that matter now?’
You die.
It’s not a monster beyond the gate,
It’s not a car accident,
With an unprecedented poison.
‘I’m dying.’
Wouldn’t it be better if this terrible pain were to end?
I am not afraid of death.
What really scared me was thinking about my sister who would be left alone and sad.
It rattled.
“There are no seats.”
A couple stood in front of me.
They both glanced at me.
Familiar, but breathtaking gazes every time.
I gently pulled on my hood.
“Wow, what’s your face?”

“Hey, I can hear you.”
The woman speaks and the man stops his girlfriend from doing so.
‘I can hear everything. ‘You idiots.’
I snorted inwardly and watched things go by.
I get angry for no reason.
No, the reason was clear.
Why was I born like this? Why am I sick?
Why should I die at an age when I should be playing with my friends?
What’s more, the reason is monster poisoning.
Isn’t this something that will make you laugh?
Recently, my health has deteriorated rapidly.
Even after visiting various hospitals, no specific cause could be found.
f*ck you, you quacks.
Because of that, most of my sister’s salary was wasted.
But the cause was very strange.
As many as seven types of poison were detected in the MMPT (Multi Monster Poison Test) test, which the doctor conducted just to be sure.
Up to seven monster poisons have been identified so far.
So, you live with all the poison of existing monsters in your body.
The doctor also said he ran the test twice after seeing my test results for the first time.
A life-limited life that is a living mass of poison, but not contagious.
That’s who I am now.
‘What do you say to your sister?’
I’m worried about my sister. In addition to worry, my heart felt tight. It feels like someone is grabbing my heart.
It’s not like yesterday or today that my body hurts, but my mind seems to hurt more today.
Anger at the world, anger at things that cannot be solved, anger at things that are not my will.
And a thirst for life.
Everything is tangled up.
My head is getting more and more painful.
“Oh, what does it smell like?”
A couple women muttered.
The couple’s eyes turn to me at the same time.
A blatant look, as if staring into a sewer.
But it had nothing to do with the current smell or me.
The outfit was old, but that didn’t mean the body was dirty.
Normally, I would have pretended not to notice and ignored it.
But why?
I didn’t want to endure it for today.
f*ck, what’s that smell like? Brush your teeth well.
I raised my head with the intention of saying that.
At that time, there was something in my field of vision before the couple.
Pitch-black darkness visible outside the window.
It was spreading so big that it could be seen.
“… … uh?”
Was this the smell the couple was talking about?
A fishy smell entered my nose as well.
What was surprising was that not only the bus but also the people outside the window were holding their noses.
‘This isn’t because of anyone on the bus.’
Something sinister is taking over this entire area.
Good!
The bus came to a sudden stop, creating skid marks on the ground.
Crash!
“Ugh!!!”
The passengers on board stumbled, and some fell to the ground.
I reflexively grabbed the handle and held on.
“Aaaah!”
“door!! Open the door!! hurry!!”
The bus driver hurriedly presses the button and jumps out of the driver’s seat.
People crowd into one mass as they try to pass through the narrow bus doors.
I quickly get off the bus and look up at the sky.
A thick darkness that seemed to suck not only the surrounding clouds but also the souls of the living.
The darkness grows bigger and bigger, and eventually large and small creatures begin to pour out.
“oh my god… … .”
20 years since the monster appeared.
Through numerous data, people knew very well what was in the sky.
“gate… … !!!!”
* * *
“How did this happen? “Where are the hunters and what are they doing until the gate is completely opened?”
“Which guild has jurisdiction over here? Damn you guys!!”
People in panic look left and right, screaming hard.
As they say, hunters usually wait in advance before the gate fully opens.
This is because it can be predicted based on the core energy generated before the gate opens.
But for some reason, the hunters were not seen until the monster stepped on the ground.
“do… … Run away!!”
I couldn’t understand the English text, but this one thing was certain.
If you don’t leave this place now, you will definitely die.
People panicked and started running away.
“monster… … .”
If someone had seen my face, they would have thought my expression changed like a traffic light.
At first, I was scared like everyone else.
However, he soon gritted his teeth in anger, and finally made a determined expression.
monster.
disaster upon this land
The cause of countless tragedies, and the culprit of the tragedy of my life.
Those who gave me the shitty gift of a terminal life.
“f*ck you guys!!”
Tak-tak-tap-tap-tap-tap-
Now everyone is running away.
I also ran as hard as I could in one direction.
Because you want to live like other people?
you’re welcome.
Life is already limited, but how much longer can you live?
The direction I run is the opposite of people’s.
It was the monster side.
That was for two reasons.
One is that if you die while blocking a monster, you can receive a Medal of Honor.
Then it will be a great help to my sister who is left alone.
The second thing was that I wanted to at least punch the bridge of the nose of that f*cking monster who was going to die anyway.
What kind of crazy idea is this for someone who isn’t even a hunter?
okay.
Maybe the boiling heat has driven me half crazy.
My blood boiled at the thought of the monster that had ruined my life right in front of me.
I ran for a while in the direction of the toad-like monster.
ridge.
But soon I had to get down on my knees.
“Ugh… … .”
As if resonating with the growing gate, my physical condition suddenly collapsed.
“f*ck. Why is this happening all of a sudden… … .”
I didn’t have any special symptoms when I was in the hospital, but suddenly my whole body started to boil with fever.
My mind goes back and forth, and it feels like a large needle is moving through my bloodstream.
I feel resentful.
If I go just a little further, I think I can hit him.
The sight before my eyes turns white and soon becomes dark.
I lost consciousness like that and fell to the floor.
* * *
How much time has passed?
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!”
I opened my eyes at the sound of a desperate scream.
A quiet and peaceful Gaejeong-dong intersection.
The place had suddenly turned into a living hell.
Kirurururuk.
“I… … go away!!!”
One of the couples who rode the bus with me, the woman, sits down and steps back.
A green strange creature appears opposite her.
A toad-shaped monster that appears to be about 50cm long.
The skin on his entire body was lumpy and smeared with something that looked like oil, making him feel nauseous just by looking at it.
– Kiruruk.
A toad-shaped monster sticks its tongue out at the woman.
The man who looked like a couple had already become a cold corpse, lying on the street.
It wasn’t just the man in front of me who died.
People’s corpses were strewn all over the place, including bus stops, sidewalks, and outside buildings.
All vehicles, including buses, were stopped on the road, and some were overturned.
Wow!
A loud siren sound hits my ears.
‘The hunters haven’t come yet? While everyone is dying like this?’
The body of a dead man comes into view.
Eyes, nose, ears and mouth.
My face became stiff as I saw blood flowing out of the hole.
‘Poison type… … !!!’
A heterogeneous monster that is notorious among monsters.
They are vicious guys that even a fairly medium-sized guild would have a hard time dealing with.
Not only the men but also the corpses scattered along the road all looked horrendous.
It is truly an unfortunate incident.
I heard that the poison type is a rare species that only appears once a year.
But on the day I was sentenced to death due to monster addiction, those damn bastards appeared in front of me.
I thought it was better.
Oh, you guys already have a lot of things accumulated.
Even if I lose today, I have to vent my anger and go.
As she was trying to force her boiling body to stand up, a toad-shaped monster spat saliva at the woman.
-Chwiik.
“Aaaah!!”
A woman falls, screaming as if she were going crazy.
A toad’s saliva that only looks dirty on the outside.
However, once it comes in contact with the skin, saliva penetrates the human skin and causes poisoning in an instant.
The reason people were dying from toads less than 1m long in the first place was because of this fatal toxicity.
“ugh… … Ugh.”
She made a sound of gasping for breath, and soon died, bleeding out on Goku like a fallen man.
It’s only touched the skin a little, but it’s at this level.
The killing power of each poison monster was comparable to that of a biochemical weapon.
“What a bastard… … .”
I gritted my teeth as I looked at the toad.
I already had a lot of bad feelings, but seeing people dying so cruelly in front of my eyes made me roll my eyes.
-Key look?
Did they think he was already dead when they saw him unconscious?
The monster looks in my direction and twists its head strangely.
And after a while,
-Chwiiik.
f*ck.
The monster’s saliva was flying towards me.
