Chapter 4 - Life of Hunter is Difficult

"uh?"

I was startled as I tried each of the laptop programs for healers.

The name was set to 'private', but the coordinates were set to 'public'.

Click!

I hurriedly changed it to private.

But something is cheap.

A feeling of uneasiness slowly rose up from my back.

Usually, when the gate raid is over, the party breaks up.

But strangely enough, the party continued.

If it was Choi Joo-hyuk's personality, he would have left the party right away...

 

"There is a rule that says that a bad feeling is never wrong."

But soon he shook his head.

There's no way that Choi Joo-hyuk, who is a S-class hunter, would come to my house.

"Is that Choi Joo-hyuk, who is called a cheapskate?"

In fact, Choi Joo-hyuk's nickname in the hunter community is 'Ssagaji'.

If you talk nonsense in front of the person concerned, you'll get smashed.

Anyway, he was that blunt of a person.

"If it's number one, then that's okay."

Given Choi Joo-hyuk's personality, what happened yesterday was something he could just say, "I was lucky."

What if Choi Joo-hyuk comes here?

What are you talking about, a lifesaver or something?

"Then that guy is fake. He's not Choi Joo-hyuk."

He kept nodding his head.

Anyway, I forgot about Choi Joo-hyuk.

Because I had to work hard to pass the notes starting today.

I stroked my chin.

This is a great phrase.

It was rewarding to work under Team Leader Kim Mi-young, who was known as the best in the advertising industry. Although I had never met his face before, he was like a teacher who taught me the basics of advertising texts.

Bam!

"Hey, Han Ji-woo. Do you want some chicken?"

Suddenly, the door opened and my younger sister, Han-I-Seul, strode into the room.

I wanted to say something, but judging from the way his brow was furrowed, I guess he was just annoyed because he w as hungry.

I held back because I could have been kicked out of the house if I had touched it.

"You ate chicken yesterday too, right?"

"I had to force myself to eat it yesterday because of the company dinner. Today is the weekend. It's too much to eat alone. But what's that? Did you buy a laptop?"

Hanisul stood next to me and glanced at the healer's notebook.

I shook my head with a slightly arrogant expression.

"I didn't buy it, I received it."

"Take it? Who gave it to you?"

I placed my hunter license on the desk without saying anything.

 

Hanisul picked up her hunter's license.

My hunter's license had a photo of me smiling brightly printed on it.

"...Hunter? Han Ji-woo, did you awaken?"

"Oh my, how dare you call me 'you'?"

Becoming a hunter, you don't know how high the sky is."

"Anyway, that's what happened."

Hanisul snickered and put her hunter license down on the desk.

"Tsk, they say even dogs and cows are awakening these days... It seems the system is broken."

Dog or cow?

I was moved to tears.

"Dog or cow?"

"Then what is it?"

Han Isul's cold gaze pierces my heart.

The opponent, an A-class hunter with a fearsome long-range dealer profession among the attacking characteristics.

This guy's job is a sniper...

The saying goes that if you act like a dog for no reason, you'll end up with a hole in the back of your head.

"...make it like a cat. I like cats better."

It's never with its tail between its legs.

It's a negotiation, a negotiation.

This guy is still the head of our household.

She is a devoted daughter who sends 6 million won to her parents every month, and she is the head of the household who provides for my living expenses.

For me, who had yet to establish myself as a hunter, this was the best option.

Just by saying one word well, you can earn up to 2 million won in living expenses.

In the grand scheme of things, it's my victory.

Han-I-Seul looked down at me for a while, then sighed and pointed to the laptop screen.

"Ugh, let me stop talking. And what is that? Hunter Life Service or something?"

"Oh, my job is a healer."

"Healer---?"

Han-I-Seul patted my shoulder with a pitiful expression, as if looking down at a cat that had been soaked in the rain.

Pat pat.

"Cheer up.

I wanted to let you know right away that I saved Choi Joo-hyuk and that I am a S-class healer.

I don't think you'll believe it anyway.

I ignored Han Isul and diligently revised the text of the note.

But Han Isul glanced over and seemed to have seen the note.

"What are you doing now?"

"What are you doing? I'm doing business as a healer."

Hanisul clicked her tongue.

"That kind of spam message is really popular."

"The original classic always sells."

Hanisul pressed her forehead as if it was throbbing.

"...Do as you wish."

Hanisul closed the door and left without saying anything.

But soon after, a text message arrived containing an image file.

 

 

Hanisul was a copywriter and graphic designer before becoming a hunter.

The text contained a sample recommendation for subscribing to the Hunter Life Guarantee Healer service, with simple but eye-catching phrases and designs.

The note system to the hunter also had an image attachment feature.

I scratched the bridge of my nose.

"You punk, but I tell you you have a good side."

Sssssss.

I rubbed my hands together and chuckled.

"Okay, let's invite our suckers... no, customers."

***

"Sigh... Please let's get through today safely."

C-class hunter O-Shi-Hwan had a worrisome personality.

From a young age, I have had all kinds of insurance, including life insurance, cancer insurance, and loss insurance.

Because of this, I was a worrier who even had my insurance application rejected by the insurance company.

"Why isn't there any hunter insurance?"

Hunters were the ones who needed insurance.

You never know when you might die, and you never know when you might get hurt.

But that's why insurance companies were reluctant to take out insurance on Hunter. Hunters get hurt every week, and it was obvious that paying out bonuses every week would be a loss.

If the National Hunter Act had not been enforced by law, I would not have even been able to sign up for life insurance.

"God, Buddha, Jesus, Allah, please let me get through today safely."

After finishing his prayer routine, Oshihwan entered the shining C-class gate.

Ugh.

The party members who had already entered welcomed Oshihwan.

"Hey, Si-Hwan. The party leader told me that the terrain here looks like a Red Minotaur Gate. Tanker hyung, get your gear ready and stand in front."

"okay."

O Si-Hwan nodded with a solemn expression, separate from the worries in his heart.

He was a professional hunter and a father with a fox-like wife and a rabbit-like baby daughter.

Oshi hwan, who was equipped with Minotaur-style gear and wielded a large axe, walked at the front of the party.

 

Clang, clang

The sound of iron armor echoed through the quiet gate.

Usually, there would be one Red Minotaur per gate.

Because their personalities were not good, they could not cooperate with each other.

It was an easy gate to end if you drew aggro from the front and the dealers poured out strong attacks.

"Hoo, hoo."

Oh Si-Hwan walked, taking deep breaths.

The iron armor was impenetrable, so my body felt stuffy.

When sweat starts to come out of the body.

Oh my gosh!

From far away, the roar of the Red Minotaur could be heard.

About 500 meters in the northwest direction.

It was hard to see because of the tree-like terrain, but I thought I saw horns.

Sigh.

As Oshi hwan raised his hand, the party leader quickly gestured to position the dealers.

The long-range dealers spread out to both sides to take cover, while the close-range dealers stuck close behind Oshi Hwan

The party leader tapped Oh Si-Hwan on the shoulder.

It was an instruction to draw aggro from the front.

Nod.

 

Oshi Hwan ran forward and shouted,

"Wow! Wow! Wow!"

At that moment, the roar of the Red Minotaur, heard from far away, began to draw closer.

Oh my gosh!

Kwangkungkwangkwang!

The ground shook violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.

"Red Minotaur found!"

At Oshihwan's shout, the long-range dealers who had been hiding peeked their heads out.

One held a sniper rifle and the other held a magic wand.

If the party leader were to lower his hands, a merciless onslaught would begin.

however,

"uh?"

Oh my gosh!

The sound of the Red Minotaur was heard from behind.

Is that a resonance echoing inside the gate?

Thump thump thump!

no

The ground shaking was much louder.

Oh Si-Hwan hurriedly turned his head back.

It was to receive instructions from the party leader, but that was no longer necessary.

bang!

The party leader's head was smashed by the axe of another red minotaur that suddenly appeared.

"Fuck!"

At the same time, attacks poured in from ranged dealers.

Kwakwakwak!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Hwarrrrrr!

The Red Minotaur fell helplessly after being bombarded by ranged dealers.

thud!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but it only lasted for a moment.

Boom boom boom!

Cold sweat ran down Oh Si-hwan's back.

It wasn't the sweat flowing because he was wearing iron armor.

The body of a worrier was reacting.

-Your life is in danger!

The red minotaur running from 500m to the northwest wasn't red.

"B, blue... it's the blue minotaur!"

 

The Blue Minotaur was a creature at least five times stronger than the Red Minotaur.

He was a guy who occasionally appeared at C-class gates with an extremely high probability, but why today of all days?

The long-range dealers started to run away first.

Oh Si-Hwan also immediately took off his iron armor and ran without thinking.

'Fuck, fuck.'

If you get caught, you die.

You have to get out of the gate quickly.

But then, a blue minotaur suddenly appeared next to the ranged dealers who were running ahead.

Phew!

One swing of the axe crippled the ranged dealers.

Oh my gosh.

Is it an illusion that the Blue Minotaur's cry feels longer today?

The Blue Minotaur spotted Oshihwan and slowly walked towards him, breathing heavily through his nose.

Boom! Boom!

Red blood dripped from the blue minotaur's axe.

Oshihwan's armpits were soaked with sweat.

'fucked.'

Small but happy moments of laughter while eating with my wife and daughter flashed through my mind.

Is this a kaleidoscope?

As the happy moments came to mind, Oh Si-hwan shed tears.

'Honey... Sena... I'm sorry Daddy couldn't come back...'

The moment when Oh Si-Hwan put down both hands and gave up everything.

Then suddenly a cheerful voice rang in my ear.

-I got a note!
