Chapter 27 – Let’s Not Hope for Luck (4)

Now that you have fully tasted the efficacy of the artifact called Unidentified Mask. Naturally, the next day, the day of going to work with the mask continued.

Yesterday, even after hunting, he remained in the guild until quite late. It’s because I couldn’t find a game that was satisfying enough to get awakening points than I thought.

For today, it was necessary to somehow create a new source of points.

Maybe the first two people who made a relationship were at such a high level that their eyes naturally went up.

I know.

The fastest way for me to collect awakening points and raise my skill level is to catch any female hunter as far as I can see and build a dick.

It’s just that if I continued to have sex like that without thinking, my existence would vaguely spread among hunters and guilds.

If done wrong, there was a possibility that it could be used as an official training camp for strong hunters.

As I had already gone through a similar experience in high school, I was aware that I had to avoid it somehow.

I have no choice but to be careful in my own way every time I bring in a new point source.

And as I said before, I also want to avoid hunters who have lovers or husbands as much as possible.

It’s not my taste to intervene in a relationship between a man and a woman who are already doing well and bring about the breakdown of the relationship.

Above all, I have learned from what I just experienced this morning that this mysterious mask is not all-powerful.

I also realized that increasing relationships with women through ignorance isn’t all-powerful.

Because a while ago. When I went out of the house wearing this mask.

It was because Kang Hye-eun, who coincidentally had overlapping commuting hours, came out of the house next door to her and recognized me.

“Oh, Tae-kyung. Where are you going?”

“… Yes?”

“Why are you making such a surprised face? I was just asking where you were going.”

“… Oh sorry. I was thinking about something else for a while.”

“Are you going for a walk? Or something else?”

“… Just going for a walk or something. Hyeeun, is this your commute time?”

“Ah, yes. Because I’m supposed to go to work at this time. Even the party members I frequent often say that morning is comfortable.”

“Yes, work hard.”

“Yeah, you have to work hard. … Because Taekyung is there too.”

“Yes?”

“Oh, it will be late. I’ll go first! Sorry!”

“…….”

As soon as Kang Hye-eun left, she took her hand to her face just in case. The unknown mask was still attached to my face.

Because of that, my mind also had no choice but to be confused.

It seems to have worked fine yesterday. Did it break overnight?

As she was putting that thought into her head, a sentence of system phrase appeared in front of her eyes.

『The effect of the ‘unidentified mask’ is only effective for those who do not remember the user’s real face. It has little effect on opponents who know the face behind the mask.』

If there was such a restriction, write it down properly from the shop screen.

It’s true that it’s not a big problem considering the purpose of the purchase anyway. In the end, that meant adding some more restrictions.

So, rather than relying on the function of this mask and looking for someone who can end it overnight.

It would be much more efficient to entice someone with whom you can build a lasting relationship.

It was safer that way if there were no rumors about it.

After that, I once again set my own policy in mind in increasing the number of points supply and demand targets in the future.

After confirming once again that I was wearing the mask properly, I immediately moved to the guild.

With the thought in mind that today is the day to find the proper point supply source.

“A promotion?”

The moment I tried to enter the tomb of the old tree through the sixth window like the last time. These were the words I heard from the employee who received and read my dog ​​tag.

“Yes, it is a promotion. Seongcheol Kim. Considering Kim Seong-chul’s recent achievements. The Guild Guild decided to promote Seongcheol Kim to a C-class Hunter.”

“…….”

Maybe it was because I heard the word promotion on the day I went to work without thinking about it.

A slight but embarrassing feeling naturally bloomed.

Looking at the guide’s expression, it doesn’t look like he’s lying.

“Are you sure you skip D-class and go up to C-class?”

“Yes, it is. You can go to window #1 and exchange the wooden Hunter Token for the Bronze Hunter Token.”

“… All right.”

Apparently, the blackhead eagle core I hunted in the Peregrine Meadow yesterday had quite an effect.

No matter how C-rank monsters are, he must have judged that there was a good chance he could rise to C-rank simply by killing 15 of them in one day and submitting materials.

It wasn’t particularly impossible, but rather, it was close to a common case if it was common.

Because among the women who visit the Hunter Guild for the first time right after awakening, there are certain people whose abilities themselves were born from the beginning.

It was a loss for the guild to keep such people running only D-class dungeons forever.

Most of the promotion process to the C grade was omitted in this way.

Of course, this is a story limited to female hunters. Male hunters who don’t have any awakening abilities have to take the promotion test one more time in the final process.

Fortunately, today’s guide was not the guide I met yesterday at dawn.

If she had been the same receptionist, there is a possibility that she would have recognized me as well as Kang Hye-eun.

If he was wearing a mask, even a hunter with a male name of Kim Seong-cheol seemed not particularly suspicious.

It would be difficult to imagine a male hunter who was promoted to C-class within a week after registering in the first place.

Above all, the hunter mark did not indicate ‘gender’.

Since the job of a hunter itself is a job that is mostly reserved for women.

She must have thought that there was no reason to engrave the gender.

Of course, thanks to that, I was able to safely get the bronze C-class hunter’s mark from the guide at window number 1.

「Kim Seong-cheol, C grade」

Haha….”

If it had been his physical ability before awakening, it would have been a skill that would have been dangerous even for a D-class hunter.

It’s grade C less than a week after having her first sex with Kang Hye-eun.

What the hell have I been doing for 10 years?

“…….”

No, it would be better not to think like this if possible.

To be honest, the condition for my awakening may have been suffering for 10 years. Even if I regret the past, there is nothing left.

Above all, I am still using the knowledge I learned in those days in many ways.

I must have obtained the mark of a C-class hunter. There was only one thing to do from now on.

In a way, he could be my first target.

The driving force that made him go to a hunter training high school, enduring all sorts of sexual harassment to become a male awakening hunter by breaking through the odds that were equivalent to atrocities.

That damned monster that made me a premature parent overnight. The opportunity to defeat the treralodon had arrived.

Of course, the Treralodon that ate my parents was defeated by Kang Hye-eun’s mother, who was nearby.

But that didn’t change my first goal.

From a young age, the bucket list I wanted to achieve after becoming a hunter was, of course, to defeat the monster that killed my mother and father.

Because that wish still remains in my heart.

Swordsmanship ability comparable to that of a B-class swordsman, and 2-circle fire magic.

And even a recovery ability similar to that of the apprentice priest.

It’s probably enough growth to defeat him.

“I will go to the abandoned town, Area C.”

“The Abandoned Village Area C is a B-class dungeon. Are you okay?”

“Yes, it is fine.”

“All right. The safe combination maintenance fund for entering the B-class dungeon is 200,000 won.”

I gave some of the funds I got from selling the black-headed eagle core yesterday to the guide.

I put my body on the portable warp and moved straight to the dungeon.

To see how much I’ve grown from being a child who couldn’t do anything 12 years ago.

「Class B Dungeon, Abandoned Village Area C」

The place I arrived after paying the union maintenance fund, which was no different from the robbery, was a place with a landscape similar to a village that was almost in ruins.

To be precise, it was actually a village itself, but it was the place itself that was in ruins.

“It feels strange to come back after a long time.”

You might have guessed it from the name of the dungeon, Abandoned Village. This dungeon was originally a village where people lived, but it was a place that became a dungeon.

Due to the sudden outbreak of monsters near a factory in Gangwon-do, the surrounding villages began to become dungeons in an instant.

Although some monsters were subdued by the late hunters. It was already a situation where it was not enough to prevent the dungeon.

In the end, the priests blocked the entry of monsters through the divine barrier magic.

It was a dungeon in which monsters were constantly dealt with through mobile warps installed by each guild.

“Keeck!”

A gray mass lunged at me with a muddy cry from the right side of my body.

It was an opponent who didn’t even need to pull out his great sword, so he extended his right hand and burned it with a fireball.

The infected rats turned to ashes and disappeared, leaving behind the cores of C-class monsters.

Leave the other monsters alone who run away as soon as they see the fire.

With only one core from a C-class monster. Without hesitation, I moved straight to the children’s park.

The reason I came here today wasn’t to catch these insignificant monsters.
