Chapter 763 – 763. Beauty’S Ill Fate
763. Beauty’s Ill Fate
I had been inside Park Suho’s tattoo world for almost three weeks. Of course, I had returned to reality a few times with Park Suho’s help. Park Suho also had to go back and forth to bring real-world items into the tattoo world.
I took out my smartphone and checked the piled-up messages. There were quite a few. Most of them were from my women.
‘Mom also sent a message.’
It was my mom, who runs a beauty salon leisurely in Gangwon-do. She worries about me living alone in Seoul and contacts me quite often. I’m busy, so I usually just give her a brief reply.
‘She wants me to come home for New Year’s next year?’
My hometown is Pyeongchang. It’s in a rural area on the outskirts of Pyeongchang. There aren’t many young people, and there aren’t any outstanding beauties in the neighborhood.
‘It’s a hassle. I’ll go next year.’
If I send her a huge allowance, she’ll understand.
I also received messages from Han Harin and Han Ayoung.
Han Harin’s messages were mostly complaints, and there weren’t many of them. She only sends one message a day.
Han Harin: Where the hell did you go? Did you forget you were supposed to give me a massage? Come back quickly.
It was something like that. Han Harin, with her strong pride, rarely sends more than one message, and she never uses emoticons. This is an improvement. She used to never send messages first.
Her older sister, Han Ayoung, was the opposite.
Han Ayoung: I heard you’re exploring a dungeon with a junior colleague? It’s not a dangerous place, is it?
Han Ayoung: Haa. I’m so busy these days. I want to see you, but I can’t find the time.
Han Ayoung: (Character crying emoticon)
Han Ayoung is much softer when she communicates through messages than when she talks in person. She also uses emoticons frequently.
Jin Seyoung: Yoojin, it’s so lonely in the inspection office without you ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Jin Seyoung: Oh, I shaved all my hair off this time. Wanna see?
Jin Seyoung: (Photo).
Jin Seyoung sent a low-angle photo of her pubic area, wearing only a top. Her firm thighs and smooth lower belly, free of any fat, were visible. Her pink pussy was clean. The labia majora were plump, while the clitoris was small like a grain of rice.
“Damn. This is hot.”
I massaged my dick with my left hand and sent a message.
Sung Yoojin: I can’t stand it, seeing your pussy. Where are you right now? Let’s meet.
Usually, she would reply within 30 seconds, but a minute passed without a reply. There’s usually only one reason for this: she’s in a dungeon.
I checked the other messages and replied to them.
Baek Jieun: Hey, Sung Yoojin. What are you doing right now?
Baek Jieun.
She’s an A-class hunter and a candidate for a position in the Korean Hunter Association. Due to the ‘Absolute Hypnosis Sticker,’ she thinks of me as her childhood friend and a sex partner.
She’s working hard to become an executive as soon as possible. She’s a workaholic. Because of that, we don’t meet often. And when we do meet, I have to be extra careful. She often appears on TV shows to gain fame. More than half of her purpose is to promote the association, but she’s more popular than most celebrities due to her outstanding looks and easygoing personality.
Sung Yoojin: I just finished work and I’m resting. Why? You want to meet?
Baek Jieun: I’m in Africa right now. I can’t meet.
Sung Yoojin: Really? Because of association work?
Baek Jieun: No. For a broadcast. More importantly, about what you told me last time.
Sung Yoojin: You mean the uterus tattoo?
Baek Jieun: You crazy bastard. Stop talking nonsense.
I blankly thought.
What did I say to Baek Jieun last time? I don’t remember anything other than asking her to get a uterus tattoo.
‘…Did I say let’s dye her pubic hair rainbow colors? No, that was Han Harin. Besides, Baek Jieun has a white pussy. Not a natural white pussy, but a Brazilian waxed, smooth, sticky white pussy. Damn. I’m craving a white pussy today. But Jin Seyoung isn’t here, and Baek Jieun isn’t here either….’
Han Harin has a lot of pubic hair. I once suggested she shave it, but she refused. She’s quite conservative. And so is Han Ayoung. Now I think it’s a good thing. Because the black and white contrast is more pronounced because of the pubic hair!
Baek Jieun: About that item related to curses that you mentioned last time, the one that comes out of dungeons.
“Ah.”
I had asked her about items that could remove curses.
Sung Yoojin: Why? Did an item for curses come out?
Baek Jieun: A dungeon that might have items for curses has appeared. It’s a B-class dungeon, what do you want to do?
Sung Yoojin: Is it a closed type?
Baek Jieun: Yeah. Closed type. A dungeon discovered in Masan yesterday. Other guilds are also eyeing it, but I’m holding it back with my power. Are you interested?
Sung Yoojin: I want to avoid dangerous dungeons.
A B-class closed-type dungeon.
If it were C-class, it would be manageable, but B-class is difficult to handle alone. Even if I took Han Harin, it would be quite tough.
Baek Jieun: It’s not difficult. It’s small for a dungeon. It’s B-class because the monsters in this dungeon are special. If you prepare properly, you can do it alone.
Sung Yoojin: Hmm. First, tell me more about the dungeon.
Baek Jieun: I’ll send it to you.
I read the dungeon information she sent.
‘…With this, I can do it alone? And the estimated dungeon reward is….’
It was a curse-removal item that was hard to find even on the black market. It was a reward that other hunter guilds would be eyeing.
Sung Yoojin: I’ll do it.
I packed my gear and headed to Masan.
•••
The village of the Black Priest.
It was the B-class dungeon that Baek Jieun had given me. It wasn’t because the dungeon had opened in an apartment complex. The general public couldn’t get close due to the association’s control, and tents were set up around the dungeon, so it was impossible to take pictures with cameras.
The people gathered here were hunters. Hunters aiming for this dungeon.
“Ha. That young punk is the one who’s going to clear this dungeon? Are you guys at the association kidding me?”
“Huh? Isn’t that Sung Yoojin?”
“Sung Yoojin?”
“You know, that young hunter who was famous as Korea’s best rookie a few months ago.”
“Isn’t he from Seoul? Why did a guy from Seoul come all the way down here?”
The gazes directed at me were not friendly. From their perspective, it was like they had found gold on the street, but I, who suddenly appeared from afar, had picked it up, so they were feeling resentful.
“Okay, okay, calm down. Mr. Sung Yoojin is the first challenger. This is something that was decided within the association. Please step back.”
An association employee said. There were a few A-class hunters, but they only frowned and didn’t show hostility towards me. They were being mindful of the association.
“Mr. Sung Yoojin.”
An association employee approached me and handed me something. It was a red ball of thread that was not even half the size of my fist. I knew what it was. No hunter wouldn’t know.
It was the Thread of Origin, an item that allows you to escape a closed-type dungeon without clearing it. There were two ways to use it. Either put mana into the thread or burn it with fire. Therefore, it was an item that had to be handled with the utmost care.
“……?”
I looked at the association employee with a puzzled expression. The Thread of Origin was not an item that the association provided. It was an item that had an unstable market price and cost at least billions of won, so there was no way they would provide it.
“I was instructed to give this to Mr. Sung Yoojin. It’s an order from quite high up…. It seems the higher-ups in the association are paying attention to Mr. Sung Yoojin.”
“…Well. I guess I’m kind of a big deal. Thank you.”
I received the Thread of Origin. It was obvious who the higher-up who ordered this to be given to me was. It was Baek Jieun.
“Will you enter the dungeon right away?”
“Yes.”
I stopped walking at the entrance of the dungeon.
“Mr. Sung Yoojin?”
“I have a jinx.”
“A jinx? That’s common.”
Surprisingly, many hunters believe in jinxes. It’s even more so for those who use magic or superpowers. Some of them have to drink chocolate milk right before entering a dungeon, or there are hunters who have to get slapped by a woman.
“I’ll help you. What do you need me to do?”
“It’s okay. Just stay still.”
I danced wildly. I vigorously bounced my hips and waved my arms in the air. It was a ridiculous dance rather than a cool one.
“Th-th-th-th-that!!!”
“What a rude and arrogant bastard!”
“Ha, haha…. What a crazy guy.”
Of course, there was no such thing as a jinx. My purpose was to make fun of the hunters gathered here. Even if they cursed at me, they couldn’t do anything to me directly.
I teased them for 10 minutes and then entered the dungeon.
•••
The first thing I felt upon entering the dungeon was that it was disgusting. Everything I saw, the sky, the ground, the trees, the bushes, the rocks, was dark. The temperature was cool, and there was no problem with breathing. However, the air itself felt dead, making me feel like I had entered a garbage dump.
‘There’s nothing else special… if I find and kill the Black Priest, the dungeon will be cleared.’
First, I needed to get a sense of the terrain. I climbed the tallest tree nearby and looked around. I could see a village a little ways away. It looked like a village where about 1,000 people would live.
‘I can’t see the villagers or the Black Priest. Are they inside a building?’
I recalled the information about the Black Priest.
The B-class monster, the Black Priest, uses curses. They mainly use curses that attack the mind. The curses are so powerful that they are difficult for ordinary hunters to deal with. However, if you have mental defense items or abilities, you can easily hunt the Black Priest.
‘If you clear a dungeon where the Black Priest appears, items related to curses or curse removal will come out.’
I hid my presence and quietly approached the village, then stopped. The villagers were all pouring out of the buildings at once.
‘They’re all coming out together as if they had made an appointment.’
I hid behind a tree and watched the situation.
The villagers looked strange. Their skin was dark. A black color close to gray.
‘They seem to be… human.’
Except for their skin, they looked exactly like humans. However, their eyes were hazy, and they walked around like zombies from a cheap movie. They even bumped into each other and fell to the ground.
‘I guess they were cursed by the Black Priest. But they’re human.’
It’s very rare for humans to appear in dungeons. However, hunters do not treat humans in dungeons as humans. Humans in dungeons are monsters in human form. That’s how they are defined. Of course, it was a bit premature to be sure they were human.
‘I have a few bombs in my inventory. I could just wipe out the whole village… huh?’
One woman among the villagers caught my eye. Her skin was black, and she walked around like a zombie, just like the other villagers. However, her appearance was that of an outstanding beauty.
Short wine-colored hair, a sharp nose and pretty lips, smooth skin. Even though her behavior was a bit foolish, she had all the qualities of a beauty.
‘Hmm. Whether she’s human or not. I need to check it myself.’
Swoosh. Swoosh.
I approached using the Yeongcheon style footwork. The villagers were walking aimlessly. Their movements were slow, so it wasn’t difficult to avoid their gaze.
‘It could be troublesome if I get caught, so I should move secretly using the buildings.’
I infiltrated a building through an open wooden window.
“Kyaaaak! Kyaak! Kyak!”
A man lying on a bed was threatening me, howling like a wildcat.
‘Are there some left inside the buildings?’
I looked at the man more closely. He looked to be in his early to mid-40s, and his whole body was emaciated. And he had no arms or legs.
‘He couldn’t leave because he can’t walk.’
I approached him and swung the Hwaryeon Flying Blade. The man’s head was cut off and rolled on the floor. The blood was dark red. I cut open the corpse’s stomach. There was something I needed to check.
‘…There it is.’
There was a small black mana stone about the size of a fingertip. It was a mana stone that was worse than an F-class mana stone.
‘His organs are the same as a human’s.’
I moved secretly to another house to avoid the smell of blood. Moving from building to building, I got closer and closer to the woman I had targeted.
‘Judging by the way she walks, she can see. But she can’t hear.’
The woman I had been targeting was passing in front of a building. I reached out my arm and snatched the woman, pulling her towards me.
“Kyaaaak!”
The woman struggled. Her strength was a bit stronger than an ordinary person, but it was ridiculously weak compared to me.
“Kyaak! Kyak!”
The woman tried to bite my arm with her teeth. But it was impossible. I grabbed both of the woman’s arms with one hand, squeezed her legs with my thighs, and then tore off her clothes with my other hand.
