Chapter 197 – Beginning of [Dungeon Explorer]

From acquiring a new status as a hunter to accelerating the formation of a hunter’s world view, the week will be quite busy.

When I came out of the dungeon, the camera’s flash lit up the darkened streets, and the chatter of reporters from the media and Youtube broadcasters bothered my ears.

The Special Operations Forces thoroughly blocked the access of the press and Youtube broadcasters, guaranteed my identity, and an agent who knew how to respond approached.

“Huh…!! Heh…!!”

“Are you okay? If you give me your permission, I will take you to the hospital right away.”

As he approached wearing a protective suit thoroughly and took a rough breath while watching the agent, the agent quickly acted according to the response method.

“Call me quickly…”

“Send the ambulance right now.”

An ambulance waiting for a call from the radio came in, and a doctor wearing the best equipment and protective clothing was on standby.

“I just want to check if there are any abnormal symptoms, is that okay?”

The waiting doctor also did not ask for my identity and begged me to allow a light diagnosis.

When he nodded, the basic diagnosis, such as blood pressure check, pupil check, and heartbeat check, was completed, and the special operations unit member who rode with him explained the situation.

“The government has decided to support the entire cost of treatment received at Korean hospitals. So, feel free to tell us what you are concerned about.”

As for the protective clothing and the kind response, the response method I set was correct, and I was escorted by the Special Operations Forces and safely guided to the hospital.

“Do you have any special pain right now?”

“No. It’s fine.”

He immediately went into a detailed examination, and after dozens of doctors were attached to him, he was able to lie down in a single room only after the results came out that there was nothing wrong with him.

“Your identity is guaranteed.”

From entering and exiting the dungeon to boarding the ambulance to the hospital, my identity was kept secret.

– Tring…!

“Come on in.”

“Sir, I’m so glad you returned safely.”

After 30 minutes of lying in the hospital room, three middle-aged men entered the room ringing the bell and carefully brought up a story.

According to the set situation, they were the figures of the National Intelligence Service, and promised an amount of 10 million won per hour in return for telling the story of the dungeon.

I was the only person who survived from the dungeons that appeared in large cities around the world, and Korea seized the opportunity to lead the world of hunters.

“You can have a comfortable conversation with the people waiting inside. If you feel tired or uncomfortable, please press this button.”

“Thank you for telling me.”

In the room the National Intelligence Service guided me to, President Lee Jae-geun and high-ranking officials such as the head of the National Security Office were seated, and I immediately began to use magic.

Rather than talking and answering one by one, he imprinted what happened in the dungeon, how to respond, and policies to be implemented as if hitting the heads of the president and high-ranking officials.

“Your name Midwinter, can you make a person with a 15-year-old?”

“It’s quite possible.”

And the most important identity creation was processed quickly and officially got the name Midwinter and a resident registration number.

‘Now let’s erase the identity laundry from our memories and talk about what we were talking about.’

The door suddenly opened while the president and high-ranking officials, who had lost their memory of identity laundering, were talking until late at night about the tasks that the state should be in charge of.

“President!! They say that there is a new portal in front of the KDS main building!!”

`Second Dungeon…!`

The reason why the explanation continued until late at night was to wait for the second dungeon to be created, and fortunately it was late at night, so no one was sucked into the portal.

“Midwin, if you’ll excuse me… Could you go with us?”

With conversations that lasted for hours, I became the only hunter to solve the dungeon situation, not a 15-year-old middle school student to the president and dignitaries.

“Let’s go quickly.”

“Thank you so much!”

It wasn’t the first time he was alive in a dungeon, and he didn’t use recognition-imprinting magic while talking about the dungeon with the country’s top figures until late at night.

In the [Dungeon Explorer] Worldview, I plan to capture both money and honor with the title of being the first hunter and devoted to the country.

In the car on the way to the KDS main building, where the second dungeon was created, I asked President Lee Jae-geun to clearly announce that I would enter the dungeon again.

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

“I’ve shown you something, so I’ll believe it.”

In order to make Korea a hunter power, President Lee Jae-geun set up to show the best ability in various fields such as diplomacy and politics as well as public opinion.

I was satisfied with the world view I had set while watching the trustworthy president Lee Jae-geun, and went to gain the honor and power of the first hunter who removed the dungeon.

“President, are you here?”

“Have you prepared facilities to spread the situation?”

In front of the KDS main building where the second dungeon was created, there were numerous cameras and reporters at a certain distance to avoid being sucked into the portal.

The military, including special forces, was controlling the reporters, and when President Lee Jae-geun and the head of the National Security Office appeared, the camera’s flash went off.

“I installed them all.”

“Be prepared for a brief briefing.”

President Lee Jae-geun, who commanded the situation, prepared remarks that would reach not only the country but also the world based on what I had imprinted on him.

Lee Jae-geun, who gathered reporters in front of the situation propagation room installed within 30 minutes after the dungeon was created, started talking about two topics: dungeons and hunters.

“At 12:10 on September 10th, portals and dungeons, which are abnormal symptoms that appeared worldwide, are currently the only case in Korea that has been removed.”

Since 24 hours after the dungeon was created, people awakening as hunters appeared, so only I, an irregular person, was able to solve the [Forest of Wild Dogs] Dungeon.

“However, even though it was removed, the portal that created five innocent victims led to a dungeon named [Forest of Wild Dogs], And there were 20 wild dogs of considerable size.”

As President Lee Jae-geun drew a rough sketch, he confirmed what politicians and scholars in many countries had already speculated to be true.

South Korea was the first to confirm that what the world had only guessed was true, but the impatient reporters asked a number of questions, including my existence for removing the dungeon, even though they did not have the right to ask questions.

– Mr. President!! Did you hear from the person who cleared the dungeon?!

– Mr. President!! Where is the person who entered a place called a dungeon and came back to life?!

– What is the case with wild dogs coming out of portals all over the world right now?!

President Lee Jae-geun did not lose his composure despite the rude question, and the reporters were most curious about my existence.

“We will set aside time to ask questions. And the survivors who removed [Forest of Wild Dogs] Decided to remove this dungeon as well.”

President Lee Jae-geun started announcing that I, who had been resurrected from [Forest of Demons and Wild Dogs], Would take the risk again and enter the second dungeon.

“If the surviving patient succeeds in reviving again, he will reveal his identity and tell the story about the dungeon himself. But if! If the resurrection fails… I will tell you the story instead.”

– Exactly what are you talking about?!

– Are you going in alone this time?! Might be reckless!!

– If this dungeon also fails to clear, will a monster come out of the portal?!

In response to questions from reporters who wanted to write even one more word in the article, President Lee Jae-geun stopped talking and approached me as I was ready to enter the dungeon.

————-
[Dungeon name: Goblin Forest]
– Difficulty: F grade – Remaining time: 11 hours 20 minutes
– Number of people allowed to enter: 00/10
————-

The second dungeon [Goblin’s Forest] Had 10 people and the lowest level of difficulty, F, but there was no one who could enter.

“Would you mind if I go in alone?”

“I don’t know if there are people who want to go inside even after watching the video of the wild dog.”

“Haa… I do.”

Twelve hours after the first dungeon was created, the country that could not remove the dungeon was in a frenzy with wild dogs protruding from the portal.

Even though the bullets were stuck, the video of the United States, which is called the heavenly fatherland, is struggling because of the swift movement, spreading rapidly on the Internet.

Of course, the army could be mobilized, but in that case, it had to be postponed continuously, and it was seen that the soldiers were reluctant to enter the dungeon.

“Even if it takes a few hours, I hope you can return safely.”

“I want to be too.”

After solving the dungeon [Goblin’s Forest], I will officially reveal my existence and obtain the status of the first hunter.

When I entered the portal leading to [Goblin’s Forest], President Lee Jae-geun met with reporters again and moved to make an announcement to the public.

——————-
[Dungeon name: Goblin Forest]
– Difficulty: F grade / – Remaining time: 11 hours 05 minutes
– Number of people allowed to enter: 01/10
[Dungeon Type: Monster Subjugation]
– Removal Method: All monsters must be removed.
– Remaining monsters: 15/15
——————

“This time, I’m going to go out with full time.”

My words gain value only when the remaining time is filled up to remove the [Goblin Forest] And those who awaken as hunters appear.

It wouldn’t be strange if I solved the D-level dungeon in 5 hours and couldn’t solve the F-level dungeon in 11 hours.

Everyone would understand if I said, ‘I used too much energy in [Forest of Wild Dogs],’ And slowly set out to find 15 goblins.

– Keruk? Kek..!! Kek…!!

“I can’t even howl, but I scream loudly.”

The goblin with a hunched back was a typical figure everyone knew, with a short stature of 130 cm, green skin, a large nose and an ugly face.

Perhaps overhearing the sarcasm, the goblin came running slowly, brandishing a rusty dagger with a worn-out blade in plain sight.

– Keruuk…?!

“Can I borrow a sword? No, I’ll take it.”

Grabbing the goblin by the wrist and snatching her dagger, the goblin decapitated her without feeling the pain of having her ears and nose cut off.

“The difficulty was well adjusted.”

Although they are goblins with the characteristic of moving in groups, they were moving one by one due to the difficulty adjustment of the F-class dungeon.

“It would be great if only the mana stone came out.”

As in other hunter novels, [Dungeon Explorer]’S worldview is also a useful resource for monsters in dungeons and mana stones from monsters.

People who had awakened as hunters would try to enter the dungeon only when the mana stone came out, but the monster dog and the goblin they just caught didn’t give me the mana stone either.

– Kkiek…!!

“Do you have a magic stone?”

I kindly asked three goblins I met while wandering around the forest, but none of them responded with a magic stone.

“Ah… I didn’t even come out of the D-class! You’re going to come out of the F-class dungeon? Right?”

– Kkeek!! Kerruk!!

I tried pretending not to expect it, but nothing like a mana stone came out.

——————-
[Dungeon name: Goblin Forest]
– Difficulty: F grade / – Remaining time: 8 hours 23 minutes
– Number of people allowed to enter: 01/10
[Dungeon Type: Monster Subjugation]
– Removal Method: All monsters must be removed.
– Remaining monsters: 05/15
——————

Over the course of about three hours, I caught ten goblins, sat down under a tree, and when I was told that there was food in it, I packed it and opened the bag.

“No… Combat rations are Evaji.”

I know that they prepared the combat rations for reasons of safety and convenience, but I didn’t want to know the taste.

“Still, chocolate and almond cake is acceptable.”

I found something to eat among the combat rations, and as I was about to melt the chocolate, I saw a goblin swallowing my mouth.

“How did you come… But are you a gourmet?”

– Keruk?

The goblin, who saw the person and swallowed, looked at the human with a small black round object and a silver square object hidden behind its body.
