Chapter 1

The unique soulless eyes that belonged to an office worker who often worked overtime contained the monitors.

It wasn’t just Yoon Seora. All the staff members in the office had faces full of fatigue.

As government officials that belonged to the state-run Korea Awakened Management Association, it was natural to be tired since if a dungeon break happened you would have to jump out immediately no matter when it might be or where you are.

Just like now.

“A gate burst near Yeoksam Station! The color is green! Dungeon break!”

Aaaah! Screams erupted from all around.

“It’s almost time to get off work, what a timing for a dungeon break!”

“And with that, a 3rd overtime in a row has been confirmed…”

“Team 2 is leaving. If it’s Yeoksam Station, the headquarters for the sunset guild should be nearby, right? Please contact them and ask them to dispatch a Hunter.”

The field dispatch team from the Dungeon Management Team quickly got up and ran outside.

The team in charge of Yeoksam Station was Team 2, so there weren’t any problems for the other teams to get off work. The same applied for Yoon Seora who was a member of Team 1.

‘…if it was before.’

She would have cried out that she is grateful to be a member of Team 1, give a few short prayers and have fun excitingly preparing to get off work and go home. But the face of Seora who only wanted to go home after a long day of work wasn’t that good.

This wasn’t just a regular dungeon, but a dungeon break, so she had to awkwardly deal with the second matter.

‘Just by looking at the contents of the message you can see it’s not just an ordinary thing.’

Seora looked at the system message that appeared in front of her with a depressed face.

【A dungeon break has occurred】

A green gate was created near Yeoksam Station. Please be prepared for danger.

System windows similar to a game interface were clearly visible in the eyes of the awakened.

But Yoon Seora was sure. That this time she was the only one being able to see the notification.

‘Ah, I have to work overtime today too! This is why I have to quit this job quickly!’

In the end, as soon as the time hit 6 o’clock, Seora left the association headquarters in tears faster than anyone else.

She didn’t even listen to others laughing in the back about leaving work with their eyebrows fluttering.

If Team 2 had a problem, no one in this office would be laughing tomorrow.

***

“I knew this would happen.”

Standing on the roof of a mid-rise building near Yeoksam Station, Seora clicked her tongue.

Because of the monsters that had already jumped out of the gate, the area around the station easily became a mess within a short period of time.

Fortunately, the boss still hadn’t appeared yet…

“Of course an Ogre came. I have no luck.”

Among the dungeons that ranged from Level 1 to Level 7, it was impossible to deal with the ogres that mainly appear in Level 4 with only team 2 which had the average rank of B.

From the looks of it the hunters guild still hadn’t arrived, but if the situation kept going like this then the area around the station would become a big mess.

And I would have to work overtime again tomorrow.

Ah. I really hate that.

Yoon Seora opened her inventory to pull out her black-and-white sniper gun and positioned herse;f. As soon as her hand touched it, the bullet shone red for a moment.

There were 7 ogres that could be seen through the scope. As soon as she positioned herself correctly, she directly pulled the trigger.

“Bang, bang.”

Instead of bullets, the blasted magic bullets began to detonate the ogres’ heads one by one with accuracy.

Frightened citizens, as well as the civil officials who were blocking the monster, felt greatly embarrassed.

Seora pulled the trigger one by one, capturing only the rioting ogres amidst the crowd.

Bang! All seven ogres fell to the floor with the sound of their heads exploding.

“Ah, now that I’ve lost my nerve, I’m feeling a little better… This is bullshit. Let me leave on time!”

After killing them all, her sadness from overwork came to her mind again.

Of course, thanks to this, tomorrow’s overtime had disappeared, but this wasn’t the case for everyone.

Seora was pleased as she watched her teammates from team 2 and citizens be in tears thanks to the fact that they survived.

Well whatever, what’s good is good. They all lived, and they didn’t know who she was, so it was good enough.

“The monsters who have not yet crossed the gate will be taken care of by the guild side”

She could feel the hunters from the guild running over here.

There were about 6 people. Judging by the energy, there was no one from the high ranks, just upper-middle ranks.

With that level of skill, they would never feel her presence.

Seora put her gun back on her inventory and got up from her seat. Just then, a system message popped up.

【A new post has been posted on the community.】

“…”

Seora’s face hardened.

The community was one of the things that the system operated on its own. Anyone who had been awakened could see the posts from it…

Of course, there would be no new notification for every post made.

So the fact that this showed up meant there was someone who wanted to desperately show it to her.

“What else? What do you want me to see?”

As Seora stared into the air, a community window appeared in front of her.

【Title: Is it true that the head bangappeared at Yeoksam Station today?】

“…”

The title itself was ominous.

【Let’s start with a round of applause

There was a dungeon break at Yeoksam Station today. My heart almost flew out when I saw the ogres coming out on my way home from work.

So how am I alive? Yes, Head Bang showed up ^^!!

Right as I thought I was dead, a bullet cut off all 7 heads in an instant, and the people around me… all we could hear was the sound.

I never imagined that I would feel the word “one shot one kill” this much. So this is what it feels like to have my stomach open!

But I couldn’t even see the headbang’s hair today… Just when can we see them in person?

My only wish is to be touched by Bang-nim once ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ】

Head bang.

Seeing that word, she became depressed. Such a tacky nickname. Why had they given her such a nickname saying that she was a person of humor?

No, of course when she saw monsters she shot them in the head! Isn’t that just because that’s the vital point of every monster?

She felt wronged!

【Administrator: (´ε｀ʃƪ)♡】

Then a new message appeared on the community window. It seemed like a message to praise her for hard work, but somehow it made her feel bad instead.

“Did you show this on purpose to make fun of me?”

When Seora asked with a suspicious look, a message appeared again.

【Administrator: ♡(ʃƪ ˘ ³˘)】

“You’re making fun of me!”

【Administrator: (ง ˙∇˙)ว】

“Hey!”

An anger filled fist flew towards the system window.

However, her fist, which can kill even B-class monsters in one shot, passed by without smashing the message window.

At the same time, yet another message popped up as if it were waiting for it.

【System: ε⌯(ง ˙∇˙)ว ε⌯(ง ˙∇˙)ว ε⌯(ง ˙∇˙)ว ε⌯(ง ˙∇˙)ง ε⌯(ง ε⌯(ง ˙∇˙) (ง ˙∇˙)ว ε⌯(ง ˙∇˙)ว】

An emoticon that showed the clear meaning that hitting was useless showed up in  front of her.

In a rushing moment of embarrassment, Seora clenched her fists as her whole body shook.

She knew she couldn’t hit it, but would it hurt so much to pretend that it was beaten? Did it have to make fun of people like this?!

“An overuse of one-sided emoticons. That’s so unfair!”

Seora lamented on her situation, flapping on the floor like a frustrated person.

Then, the civil service card, which she had forgotten to take off since she rushed out of the office, shook in front of her eyes.

「Korea Awakened Association

belonging to the management office

Yoon Seora of Dungeon Management Team (F Rank)」

F Rank.

Seeing those words, her anger towards the system went off all at once.

Yeah, she was definitely an F rank hunter not too long ago.

But how did she get rid of seven B Class Ogres all at once?

It was all thanks to that system.

【You are the only contractor of the system administrator.】

【Awakened ‘Yoon Seora’ (S Rank】

Jumping from a F Rank awakened to S Rank.

That was something Yoon Seora achieved through making a contract with the system administrator.

And she was the only contractor in the world.

【System: ヽ(๑╹▽╹๑)ノ】

…If she had known that the system administrator would be such a strange person, she would have reconsidered it.

Seora tapped on her chest as if lamenting.
