Chapter 2 – 2. First Contractor

A few days have passed since we had a small party.
In the meantime, I was able to set most of my stats to 20 with the points I got from going around the F-level dungeon gate until late at night.

*Kang Dae-woong
Class: S.L.U.S manager (X)
Unique Attribute: [S.L.U.S (lv1)]
General Attribute: [Weapon skill (lv4)]
SinB: [Official Administrator (X)]

[Muscle:20][Agility:20][Endurance:20]
[Spirit: 16] [Mag: 20] [Stamina: 10]

Points: 0

As for weapon skills, the level went up naturally as I practiced cutting. Raising the attribute level by consuming points is not yet cost-effective.

‘I needed 200 points just to raise my weapon skills from lv3 to lv4, maybe?’

The horse was 200 points, and it was a point that could raise the ability from 10 to 20 at once.

For reference, the level up point of S.L.U.S is 500.
Even after raising his stats from 20 to 30, he still had 200 points left.

Raising the S.L.U.S level was a luxury, nothing more, nothing less, unless 500 points were falling from the sky.

‘I should go to the E-class dungeon soon, Won.’

After checking the E-level exam schedule, I grabbed my sword and left the house.

The destination is SS Hunter Market, not the anthill.

Get off the subway and take a taxi for about 10 minutes.
I saw a market using a five-story building as a whole.

When we went inside, it was full of people who had come to see the hunters’ fancy goods.

It might be a nude house of top female hunters, but I was not interested in ordinary fancy goods, so I went straight to the 4th floor.

‘Look at the jacket first.’

When I arrived at the 4th floor where armor items were sold, I saw a happy family looking at jackets near the entrance.

“How about this?”

“But is this really enough? No matter how F-class they are, they are still monster indie.”

“Ah, don’t worry too much. Because I’m looking for everything. Mama straighten up, too.”

…Move the legs that stopped for a moment again.
After picking out a jacket with a design I liked, I went downstairs to look at the weapons.

I was walking around the store looking at expensive weapons for entertainment, and I saw a very suspicious-looking person hanging out in front of the wand corner.

It’s not enough to wear a baseball cap with a black mask. Seeing him wearing a hooded cap, it seems that he is extremely reluctant to expose his face.

‘Are you a celebrity?’

Or a shy top hunter?
It looks like a woman because of her small body.

‘I’m not familiar with the heart.’

I can’t tell because of the puffy hoodie.

My interest quickly faded, and I turned around and headed to the checkout counter with the same model longsword I was wearing.

“How would you like me to do the math?”

“Please make it three months. Oh, and I’m going to have this repaired, how long will it take?”

“Wow…You must have written it very harshly. My teeth are badly chipped.”

I did use my sword a little rough.
It’s gotten worse these days.

“Repairs take at least one to three months. You haven’t filled out the repair application yet, have you?”

I was nodding my head and filling in the letters of the documents I received, when suddenly a black shadow cast from the side.

It was the hoodie I had just seen.
Hesitantly, she moved closer to the counter to ask her clerk for something.

“How can I help you, sir?”

“That…That…Cheap…Wand…”

“Yeah? Please speak louder.”

“Cheap…Cheap wand…”

At her staff’s request, she groaned, clutching the hem of her hood. The employee frowned at her voice, which crawled more than the first time.

“It’s a cheap wand.”

When I said it instead, the clerk smiled and said.

“Oh~. If you’re looking for something cheap, the training wands from ZalMagic are the cheapest. The price is 1.54 million won. If you’re looking for a wand cheaper than that, you’ll have to look elsewhere.”

“Ah yes…”

She still gave a small voice to the answers that poured in like a flowing stream, then left her seat with her head bowed.

‘She was just a timid woman.’

Not a celebrity, not a top hunter, not anything.

After filling out the application form, I left SS Hunter Market with the thought that there are people like that.

And after a few days
I got to see her again for some reason.

Standing in front of the slime sewer gate with the same frustrated look as before, she held a magic wand covered in grime in her hand.

Probably bought a used one.

Since the magic wand itself is so expensive, most poor wizard hunters like janitors used second-hand items.

“…Ah.”

Seeing this, her body shrank slightly. I tried to ignore it, but since there is a bond between the same hunters, the moment I tried to go into the gate with a slight bow.

“Hey, hey!”

Her hand holding the wand was pointed in my direction.

“…!”

What the fuck!?
Is it an application for a duel!?

Didn’t he seem like that?

“Hick!”

As she hurriedly lowered her stance and assumed her battle stance, the startled woman backed her with a shriek.

It just seems like a mistake.

‘Eh, then that’s right.’

There’s no way a timid person who can’t speak well to an employee suddenly challenges you to a duel. Perhaps it was something he did unknowingly.

I relaxed and screamed.

“Don’t point at people with your wand hand. It’s the same as pointing a gun at someone.”

“Sorry, sorry…”

Then, realizing her mistake, she hurriedly hid her magic wand behind her back and bowed her head. I approached her with the mindset that I would let her go just this once.

“So why did you call me?”

“…”

“If you have nothing to say, I will go.”

“S-Slime!…The sewer is here, right?”

I looked at the gate at her question.
A bluish color that doesn’t look like anything special at first glance. Slime sewer is right.

I nodded.

“That’s right, but did you apply for a raid?”

…Nod.

“Then you can just go in.”

I couldn’t help but feel uneasy when I saw what he was doing, but he’s a wizard. At least it won’t lack firepower like I used to.

“Go, thank you.”

Instead of answering, I lightly waved my hand, then turned my steps and headed for the gate that I applied for, the ‘Killing Rabbit Park’.

The F-level gate ‘Killing Rabbit Park’ is an open dungeon where you have to find and kill damn rabbits hiding everywhere, and each object is stronger than a toothy frog, so it was a gate avoided among F-rankers.

Of course, I hate it too.

I wouldn’t have bothered with these pesky gates if all the tooth frog caves hadn’t been disabled.

‘Because it’s better than playing though.’

Pick up your sword and start hunting.
Although rabbits are said to be stronger than tooth frogs, they were no match for me, who had a stat of 20.

‘It’s almost time to come out.’

The moment he cut open the stomach of the 13th murderer rabbit.

Kwakwang!!

I heard thunder

Run straight to the center of the park.
There sat an arrogant rabbit who looked more ferocious than the others.

That guy was the boss monster killer rabbit here.

‘Even though it’s an F-class monster.’

Looking at the fancy direction and grandiose name, it seems like a monster that can easily wipe out a weaker guild, but in reality it is a little stronger than the rabbits that have been caught so far.

As evidence of that, the murderous rabbit who jumped at me with vigour, was hit by the sword I wielded and was unseemly rolling on the floor.

Before he got up, I stepped on his neck and lowered the sword he held in reverse.

Puff!!

That was it.
The scene changed as the killer rabbit stopped moving.

I checked the time and clicked my tongue.

‘I could have deactivated two tooth frog caves by this time.’

This time, I’m going to try the hunter app to occupy the tooth frog cave. Then, suddenly, my eyes went to the gate where the timid woman had entered.

Still pudding

The fact that it has not lost its color means that it is still active.

If it was a normal F-rank hunter, she didn’t even think about coming out, even though it would have been enough time to disable her already.

I felt cheap for some reason.
I was about to wait for it to come out momentarily, but then she shook her head.

Because she had no intention of acting as a babysitter for a beginner hunter she didn’t even know her face just because she had exchanged a few words.

I focused on the Hunter app again.

‘Crazy. It’s crazy fast.’

The Tooth Frog Cave, which appeared on the list of activation gates, disappeared in less than a second. It meant that another Hunter had put in an attack request.

After that, I had two more opportunities, but I missed them right in front of my eyes. In the end, I had no choice but to press the request request button for Murder Rabbit Park once again with my trembling hands.

In the meantime, the slime drains still retain their color.

‘…They must be inactive.’

Suppressing needlessly rising worries, I hurried my steps. After entering the second murder rabbit park, I intentionally ran and cut without stopping.

I thought this would clear my head a bit.

But how

The discomfort I felt in a corner of my heart did not disappear, but rather grew.

‘Write.’

I can’t do it because I’m worried.
I sighed and went back to the first area to check the gate the woman had entered.

And just in time.

‘What is that?’

She found her limping on one leg and her coming this way.

‘No way. Ay, no matter what.’

As she walked uncomfortably with her head down, she looked at my toes and lifted her head.

Her eyes through the hat.
Eyelids swollen from crying.

Startled, she lowered her head again.
I tried to hide my confused feelings and asked, pointing at the limp leg.

“Did you get that by a slime?”

“…Yeah.”

No way, she said she was hunting people, but I thought she was really beaten by slime.

‘It’s ridiculous.’

It wasn’t surprising that the slime attacked.
No matter how trash mobs are among trash mobs, they had at least one means of attack as they were monsters.

However.

It’s because the attack can’t be hit unless you deliberately put your body on it.

“Wow…I thought I was the weakest of the Hunters until now. I can’t believe that slime can hurt someone.”

“…It was… Big.”

“Large slimes or just slimes.”

That’s it.

“…”

Shrinking her body at my words, she shuts her mouth tightly, and then she silences herself and walks past me with uncomfortable steps.

It was to the point of laughing at his timid appearance.

‘Let’s go since I confirmed that they came out.’

He will take care of the rest.’

Let’s not get involved any more.
In the first place, I’m not someone who can afford to help others.

I’m going to turn around like that and go my way.

‘Fuck.’

Her feet don’t even come off.

‘That sucks.’

Fuck you.

That’s why it’s a problem even if people are too nice. Because I end up helping others while putting off my work. I hurriedly passed her and bent her knees.

“Get up. It would take another hour to get to the management office like that.”

“…”

“What are you doing. Because it’s up.”

“…”

“Oh Mr. Really.”

“Huh…!?”

My patience reached its peak when I saw him not budging as if he had become a wooden stone. I grabbed her arm and forced it around my neck and pulled her up.

That moment.

Water!

The feeling of big breasts on your back.

‘It’s… Yes?’

I didn’t know at all from the outside because of the loose clothes, but it’s a considerable size. Wouldn’t this be at least a D or E cup?

‘I wasn’t aiming for this…But it’s not.’

The voluptuous pressure unintentionally caused blood to rush to her lower legs. On top of that, the softness of her thighs through her fingertips.

‘What a dog.’

After all, people will be blessed if they live well.
