Chapter 5 – Episode 5
I just passed through a door called the gate.
“It’s fascinating.”
“Right?”
The world changed like flipping the palm of your hand.
Just a moment ago, it was noisy and there were many buildings around, but now, instead of people and buildings, tall trees and lush weeds greeted me.
As I turned my head here and there to look around, Chansae smiled brightly at me.
“Welcome to the damn labyrinth. “It’s an F-class labyrinth, so nothing major will happen, but let’s be nervous.”
“Thank you, guide.”
The first thing Chansae did was explore the surroundings.
“The labyrinth is so fucking big. Even in class F, it is bigger than Seoul. And frustratingly, the starting points are all different every time.”
“So when you enter the labyrinth, the first thing you have to do is look around.”
“What are you looking at?”
“A method known at academies or on the Internet says to find a very large structure or landmark.”
While answering her question, Chansae took out a square device that looked like her cell phone from her inner pocket.
“This guy is better than that.”
“Omg. That’s a labyrinth map! They say it’s very expensive.”
“Mine is an old model without many features, so you can get it for about 500 million won.”
“500 million?! “Whose dog’s name is 500 million?”
“If you go around the labyrinth, you’ll make money quickly.”
“From next time, you buy all the Eunmi chicken.”
“I bought it yesterday too?”
“Thank you, I enjoyed it!”
“Crazy guy.”
Chansae chuckled and pointed at her machine again.
“Anyway, if you have this labyrinth map, you can check the map only for the labyrinth that has been conquered.”
“Which labyrinth can’t be conquered?”
“Just like the textbook says, you have to chase after super-large structures and landmarks and run wild.”
Chansae, who was explaining various things about the labyrinth, suddenly turned her head.
“Three… Jinsu. Would you like to try it out?”
“What?”
“Over there.”
“Holy shit!”
When I looked in the direction he was pointing, I saw three huge rats.
“Hunter Let. “F-rated, big fucking rat.”
“You can see it even if you don’t say anything, right? “Isn’t that at the level of a wolf?”
“You didn’t see the Labyrinth Wolf? “If I were to fight a bear in real life, would I win?”
“You’re crazy.”
“So, a real-life call while I’m here?”
“Is it possible to have just one?”
“Of course.”
Chansae jumped a few times, like a boxer warming up, and then she suddenly disappeared.
Turning her head once to the left to look for the missing guy. One turn to the right. She only turned it twice.
Pop! Powdeodeok!
I heard something that was hard to hear… Something exploding.
The number of hunter rats that had been three was reduced to one, and two hunter rats were created.
“Now fight.”
Not only did it kill the monster at an unrecognizable speed, it was Chansae, which calmly reappeared next to me.
“Is that… Acceleration?”
When I asked with a blank expression, the guy smiled brightly, wiping the blood off his hands.
“Awesome?”
“It’s killing me.”
“But Grade B and above are even greater than this. “I have so many monsters that I can’t even compare.”
“Will I die?”
“Celestial. “I feel comfortable thinking that there is a crazy person swimming in space above me.”
[Edit] I was happy to understand his true abilities.
I thought that if I gave myself time, I could become stronger than anyone else.
It felt like this world could move as I wanted.
But it was all an illusion.
This is what Chansae, a C grade, looks like right now. What about Class B? What about Class A? What is the S-class that there are only a few in the world?
“I will be humble…”
“Okay. Besides, your skills are shit, so bend your back to 90 degrees. No, fold it 180 degrees. “Suck your dick!”
“Please refrain from saying things.”
“This is reality, fuck it!”
I let out a sigh, leaving behind the Chansae that was throwing sacred cuckoos at me.
‘Okay. [Edit] That’s right. In the end, it is subcontracted work.’
‘Not as the main character of the video, but as a worker. Let’s find small happiness on the side.’
Once I calmed down, I felt much more at ease.
That’s it.
‘What should I do with that rat?’
When I closed my eyes and opened them, all my colleagues were dead.
The person who is believed to have killed my colleague is next to me.
It looks strong to attack the criminal.
I’m angry, but there’s no way to resolve it.
So.
– Kiyayak!!
It started running toward me, showing its sharp teeth.
“Why is this crazy bastard talking shit to me?”
It was a Hunter Rat that was approaching quickly, but it wasn’t hard to miss.
Moreover, I am a man who has avoided attacks from a killer! That’s about it! Easy to avoid!!
Kwaduk!
There was none.
“Ahh!! Sparrow!! I’m dying!! I’m dying!!”
Hunter Rat’s sharp front teeth got stuck in my forearm.
I became unconscious as the blood gushing like a fountain through the wound hole.
“You idiot, people with superpowers don’t die from that. “When the rat can’t move, quickly stab it in the head.”
Why is it that my friend, who calmly gives advice while screaming for help, is treated like this?
“You bastard without blood or tears!!”
She held back the throbbing pain and swung her dagger towards Hunter Rat’s head.
If I were someone who had handled a dagger professionally, I would have swung it smoothly and quickly, but I am an editor.
An otaku in the corner who does nothing but sit in front of the monitor and click the mouse.
There was no way I could handle a dagger well.
I thought I swung as fast as I could, but the damn rat seemed to feel threatened and jumped back, retrieving the tooth that had sunk into my wrist.
Still, it was so close that it succeeded in inflicting a long wound on her side.
– Squeak!!
[How dare you hurt my body!!]
If you could understand what he said, wouldn’t you have said something like that?
“Ji asks first, and then it’s his temper!”
I was angry and sad about not being able to properly deal with just one rat, but I came to my senses when I saw my forearm with blood flowing from the gaping hole.
I quickly took out the copied low-level potion from my hip bag and sprinkled it on the injured area.
“Crazy. Are you just sprinkling that precious thing on a wound like that?”
“You tried to bite me!! It fucking hurts!!”
“I got bitten a lot. Each time, I applied acupuncture and got better.”
“What Joseon Dynasty?!”
After all, a world-famous potion company.
Even though the wound was big enough to fit a finger in, it healed completely just by spraying potion on it.
In his rising anger, he threw the empty potion bottle at Hunter Rat, but the rat cub jumped lightly to avoid the bottle.
“Look at the accuracy rate. “You shouldn’t be a psychic.”
“Do you keep arguing?!”
“Yayyyy~ Anyway, how long are you going to be swayed by a little rat? “Use your abilities.”
“My abilities…”
Even if I can’t use [Edit], I should try using [Separation] That was released.
I picked off the head of a hunter rat who was watching me from a little distance away.
“Separation!!”
You don’t have to say it, but just show it and shout [Cut].
The guy’s body and head were separated.
Instead of stopping there, he turned the cut face 180 degrees.
– Kirik?!
At the point where it flipped over in an instant, the guy started twisting his body around as if he was embarrassed.
“Oh, oh? “It’s surprisingly good, isn’t it?”
“Maybe?”
Although I didn’t show my true skills, I suddenly felt good knowing that my abilities were recognized.
“Don’t like it, just go and kill it quickly. “I heard it lasts for a short time.”
“Ah.”
She nodded her head at Chansae’s words and approached Hunterette.
We got close, but what came next was the problem.
He was much more energetic and aggressive than I expected, so it was difficult to find the right moment to stab him.
If you make a mistake, you will get hurt again by its blind claws.
After hesitating for a moment, a good idea occurred to me.
‘I just need to bring that bastard’s head towards me, right?’
Even though the body is B-boying like crazy, the head is floating in the air due to [Cutting].
What if you stab that head?
Her head also opens and closes her mouth, drools, and trembles like crazy, but compared to her body, she’s a fairy.
Seeing the timing, he stabs the dagger between his eyebrows! I stabbed it in.
– Kigi… Geek!!
The guy who got stabbed in the brain let out a high-pitched scream and soon stopped moving.
The body that was generating the dust also stopped working.
With a sigh of relief, her punctured head and body attached as she regained her strength.
As she caught her breath, looking at Hunterette bleeding through the hole, applause was heard behind her.
“First kill~ Yadongjeong subdued Hunter Let~ It was a bad day~ It was a bad day~”
“I’m really mad.”
After that, I caught about five more hunter rats with the help of Chansae.
The more you hunt, the more experience you gain, and since there was no level-up structure, the first labyrinth exploration ended at the level where you only learned the senses.
“How are you?”
“Someone with superpowers should make a lot of money.”
“Yes? Is this a 3D job? It’s dirty~ difficult~ dangerous~ but people criticize people with superpowers because they make a lot of money.”
“I recommend the introduction of a mandatory subjugation of one hunter rat for all members of the public.”
“And if an ordinary person dies, are you going to take responsibility?”
“I will completely withdraw my remarks.”
On the way back to the gate, chatting lightly.
Chansae, who was leading, suddenly stopped walking.
“Sparrow. Something’s going on.”
“Shhh.”
When I asked, Chansae placed her finger in front of her mouth.
She simultaneously bent her knees and lowered her body.
I also followed Chansae, lowering my knees to stand next to her.
“What is it?”
I whispered softly and Chansae pointed in a certain direction with her finger.
I furrowed my brow and looked around, but I couldn’t see anything.
Chansae, on the other hand, was smiling with excitement, wondering what was so good about it.
“I earned my daily wages.”
“What?”
“Excuse me. “Under the tree to the left of the gate.”
“Under the tree on the left?”
Even though I heard the detailed location, all I could see was lush weeds.
“Ugh. “Just stay here.”
The guy who sighed disappeared as if he had used [Acceleration].
– Wow!!
She was frightened by the sudden sound of scratching on the blackboard and covered her ears.
When I looked in the direction from which I heard her voice, I saw Chansae pulling out a plant with a large root with one hand.
Chansae hurriedly took off his sock and stuffed it into the mouth of the screaming root.
“Phew. “I thought my ears were falling.”
“You crazy guy! Please explain! “You were surprised!”
“Sorry, sorry. To catch this bastard.”
Chansae showing me the plant she caught with an expression that didn’t make her feel sorry at all.
The plant was still twisting its body around with the sock in its mouth.
“What is that?”
Hehe. Vitality herb that appears with a low probability in all labyrinths!”
“Vitality herb?”
“Eating it strengthens your physical abilities. It is known to have a more important effect.”
“Is there a more important effect than becoming stronger? “What is it?”
“Affection. Power. River. “Woe.”
“Supreme Chansae, I ask you to welcome me. “No, even just a little root, please.”
“Yeah~ I won’t give it to a virgin~”
“You little bastard!!”
