weak meat meal

You wanna die?

no.

Choi Gu-shik flinched at Su-ho's too casual remark.

I read confidence in a dignified attitude.

I looked at the estimate because I could easily jump on it and get hit back.

poorly armed. There is no military or mercenary attire, and it is free. The guy who comes out of the field wearing jeans and a T-shirt is either a madman or an awakener who is confident in his skills.

"Are you from the bureau?"

no.

no?

If you're not from a special crime team, why are you hanging around here?

"I don't know who you are, but go your way."

Why? Let me join too."

"Heh, shit. He's a non-verbal man.

Choi Gu-sik, who had reached the limit of his patience, blinked at his subordinates and approached Suho.

Suho frowned at the bewildered eyes.

Why? What?

Do you want to have a snowball fight?

why are you staring at me

At that time, Gusik Choi smiled.

"You looked into my eyes for more than five seconds."

so?

"Fufu, you can't move anymore."

Huh?

Suho was surprised.

My body didn't really move. Feeling stuffy as if buried in soil.

"What, what?"

"Pu ha ha!"

Choi Gu-sik smiled brightly.

I thought he was a talker, but he was a bluff with nothing to see.

"That bastard George!"

Yeah. brother.

The guinea pigs rushed in and knocked on the guard.

"Why is this?"

Suho made an impression with punches and kicks flying here and there.

I tried to awaken my senses by giving my body strength.

'done.'

puck!

uh?

One of the predators, who had been punching excitedly, widened his eyes when his fist was caught.

As Suho strengthened, the fist in his grasp shattered.

"Aww!"

"Great!"

In an instant, one of his subordinates left, and Choi's face hardened.

Move!

Suho looked straight at Choi Gu-sik, who was staring at him without turning his head.

"Uh, how do you move?"

"Just move, you idiot."

Even if he said that, his actions were slow as if he was still submerged in deep water.

"Uh, how ."

Kooshik Choi showed his superpowers again with plenty of mana.

Well.

He stiffened again with the feeling of squeezing his body.

Seeing the hardened guardian like Pierrot, Koo-shik Choi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wow, you have one strand. But now 10 minutes will be stuck."

Kooshik Choi's superpower is bondage.

It was the ability to paralyze the opponent who made eye contact. The more mana in the body was used, the stronger the bondage.

"Ugh!"

As Suho tried to take a step with an impression, his slowly moving legs took a step forward.

"Uh, huh?"

Gusik Choi was surprised and took a step back. Awoken people of the same class as you, wouldn't it be possible to resist like this?

With each step, the movement becomes more natural and faster.

Choi Gu-shik was surprised and showed a stronger binding force and tied Su-ho with 'bondage'.

"Stop!"

The figure of Suho standing still was just like a Pierrot. However, the pause time was only 1 second.

As Suho's body began to slowly move again, Choi's face was full of embarrassment.

This dog! What is your identity!"

With this level of magic resistance, it's almost like a monster. Maybe he was a higher rank Awakener than himself.

Restraint!

Even the psychic powers that even included his voice and shouted out loudly stopped Suho's movements for a moment.

"This is annoying."

Restraint!

The amount of mana required to bind the guardian gradually increases, but the time to bind the action becomes shorter and shorter.

As if resistance to one's own superpowers... .

Action is still slow. You must put an end to it before you fully resist.

"Fuck!"

Choi Ku-sik spit out a cry supported by evil and ran towards Suho.

Choi Gu-sik is a C-rank Awakener.

The physical ability is also at the level of a superhuman far away from ordinary people.

"Look!"

Using the power that rushed in, he fired a blow of conversion towards the guardian's face.

Whoa!

"Aww!"

It was Choi Gu-shik who raised his fist, but it was he who went out with a scream.

"Damn stone head!"

I hit a clown and it feels like I hit a rock.

Looking at the numb fist, it must have been a broken finger bone.

The blood disappeared from Choi Gu-shik's face as he rolled on the floor. When he fell into a panic, the power that bound Suho disappeared in an instant.

Five!

With a sudden sense of liberation, he quickly approached and grabbed Choi Gu-shik's shoulder.

"Aww!"

that's crazy power

I just grabbed it, but my shoulder blades were sore, and Choi Gu-shik salivated.

"Shit, you bastard!"

He pulled out the dagger that was hidden on his waist and swung it, but he avoided it too easily.

"It was a little strange."

With a brief sentiment, Suho struck Choi Gu-sik on the neck with his hand.

"Kek!"

He licked his tongue and looked at the robbers behind him, who had passed out.

"You want to jump?"

"Hey, how dare we?"

"Then let's gather here."

Yep.

The marauders gathered themselves and knelt down. A typical appearance of the underdogs awaiting disposition.

Suho started sorting the loot.

*

I feel dizzy. I woke up and the pain hit me.

"Ugh."

I lifted my heavy eyelids.

The wrist bone was smashed in the shoulder, and the pain was considerable as the limb was tied up ignorantly with a rope.

'Fuck.'

He used evil to find the culprit who caught him. The guy was not far away. In front of him, his subordinates were sitting on their knees in a row.

"Do you really have no bounty?"

"Really! We have no bounties!"

Yes. Only that bastard got a bounty."

"What bounty is it for dwarves like us?"

"If you catch him, you will become rich."

fucking guys. My brother-in-law and I was joking around, but I quickly betrayed him.

Gusik Choi stood up, enduring the pain. Still, the marauder captain who once dominated the surroundings. This kind of pain is tolerable.

uh? Are you out of your mind?"

"Let's trade."

"What suddenly?"

"Isn't the city's laws frustrating?"

"Aren't you tired?"

"The field is lawless? No, this is the land of true freedom. I will make you live like a king."

what else do i say

Suho chuckled.

"Yeah, I hate it."

Whoops!

Choi Gu-shik was hit in the head by Suho's kick and he lost consciousness again.

"Huh."

In the hands of the guardian, the predators withdrew even more.

"Then you are useless now."

How can it be so pleasant to say that it is useless? He must be a bounty hunter.

Since they caught a giant like Koo-shik Choi, there was no way for a small dwarf like them to catch their eye.

Yes! We are useless bastards."

"You just need to take him."

One of the men, who barely woke up on one side of their father, wrote evil.

"These bastards are all criminals. If I took her, I would have been given a bounty without knowing it."

Huh? Really?

A man came and knelt in front of Suho. The two lying on the back looked like they were seriously injured, but only the man in front of them was in good shape.

"Thank you for saving me."

"It's not like I'm trying to save you."

"Still, I was blessed."

What is it that you are like that?

"Yeah then. But all of them have a bounty?"

Yes. Most of the people who do this are probably criminals."

"Are there too many to take them all?"

"I will go with you in my car."

"Oh."

He's a guy who knows how to repay a favor.

Good. friends?"

"First aid was done. As long as you get him to the hospital on time, there will be no problem."

"Okay. Come on, then, let's pass out.

Puppupuck!

Ten looters were tied up one after another until Koo Shik Choi.

I drove a van, crumpled the looters in the back seat, and picked up first aided friends.

Suho hit the passenger seat and the van started.

"This is Jaesik Jang. Thank you again.

"Hey, what else? This is how you get it and ride it."

Jang Jae-sik was quite moved by the appearance of Suho, who did not seem to be expecting anything in return.

"Are they okay? Everyone is dying."

Jang Jae-sik's colleagues lying on the back seat were sweating and moaning. Just looking at it, it looks like life is in jeopardy.

"We are going to the nearest military base. It is possible to extradite criminals from there, and there is a temporary treatment center, so you just have to be patient."

"Are there any troops outside the field?"

"Yes, when a dungeon is opened, there are always military bases stationed around it."

The dungeon portal created by the dimension rift needs maintenance until the break occurs.

The van slowly made its way down the poorly paved road, and Suho, who had been quietly contemplating, asked abruptly.

"What superpowers do you have?"

"Are you talking about skills? I am a swordsman, a chaser, a seeker."

Huh? skill? Three?"

"I call it that way. The awakening skill was swordsmanship, and the pursuit and search was learned through the skill book."

The original skill was not well taught to others, but there was a grace that he owed his life, and he didn't want to hide it.

Usually, this level of skill is learned by any Awakener with a little experience.

"Hey, there's even a skill book."

For Suho, who only trained physically, Koo-shik Choi's bondage skill was disconcerting.

Curiosity about the unknown power grows rapidly.

After talking about this and that, the car arrived at its destination quickly.

Over the hill, there was a cluster of strangely colored lights, which seemed to be about 3 meters high.

Temporary iron fences were erected around it, and several containers were placed to serve as an administrative office.

One of them is a temporary field hospital.

"It's Junggu, it's Seungho. Be patient."

When the destination was seen in front of him, Jae-sik's mouth was dry, his voice cracked.

In addition to the temporary barracks of soldiers, several trucks and cars were parked nearby.

Not only the soldiers and mercenaries who wanted to attack the dungeon gathered, but also a few food trucks that wanted to sell them.

The guardian's eyes stayed in the mysterious light emitted by the portal.

"Is that a portal?"

Yeah. This is the lowest level dungeon of level 1. Our destination was originally there."

The amount of energy measured in each dungeon is different. Level 1 is a dungeon where very weak monsters such as goblins appear in groups.

Three well-trained E-class Awakeners, or F-class, it is a level that can be easily cleared with only about ten people.

Unfortunately, Jang Jae-sik and his party were attacked by looters on their way here.

"I'm sorry. Even if I had a mercenary license, I would go in once."

A dungeon is a dungeon where you can catch a much larger number of monsters than the field.

'Then I would buy a skill at the Achievement Shop.'

When I got hit, I wanted to quickly collect achievement points out of curiosity about the skill.

Yes? Don't you have a mercenary license?

"Oh, not yet."

" ."

Jang Jae-sik's face was full of doubts.

The only monsters you encounter on the field are the dwarfs left after subjugation.

Awakeners must hunt monsters to steal their dimensional energy.

It is also called experience by comparing it to a game, but it is possible to acquire experience points in level 1 dungeons up to level E.

If it is higher than that, you have to go to a level 2 dungeon.

Can't we just do field hunting?

The only monsters wandering the field are the dwarfs left after subjugation. A level not different from the level 1 dungeon.

In that sense, I was skeptical.

If you didn't even go to the dungeon and just hunted the field, even if you catch it at the maximum, it's an E-class, but how did you get a C-class Koo-shik?

Suho asked Jae-sik Jang's question-filled eyes.

What? Why?

"Oh, no."

"What is it? Staring at you curiously."

"Would you be able to change the awakening level by any chance?"

I? F."

Yes?

Why? What?

" ."

Can an F grade be counted like this?
