Chapter 17

NEW! ㅅㅂ, I will tell the story of going to the hotel where an S-Class barrier magician was staying. Everyone, come in.

I’m at Hunter’s Hospital.

I really almost died. 

I’m an A-Class Hunter, but I almost lost it while going solo in an A-Class dungeon. 

But suddenly, I see a purple light. When I got closer, there was also a revolving door? 

The hotel name…I don’t remember what it was, but anyway, there was a pretty boss and a foreign bellboy. 

She was going to overcharge me, but I let her off because she’s pretty.

Monsters can’t enter it, and there are warm food and beds. Think about it. There’s a bed in the dungeon, which really brought tears to my eyes—. 

– Hunter 24: This b*stard is all lie about being A-Class. Be careful with clickbait. 

– Baekho is the No.1 in my heart: This b*stard from A-Class is here too. 

– ㅋㄷㅋㄷ: Wow, it’s a new type of clickbait. You’re really writing a novel. Write a web novel with this subject. Stop writing on Hunting Planet. 

-ㅇㅇ: ㅋㅋㅋㅋ he said he went around the A-Class dungeon solo. He must have thought he was Han Woohyun. 

– gjsxjspt: Han Woohyun also went solo as an S-Class is also Baekho Guild media play.

-KSJ: There is no S-class barrier magician in Korea. You don’t even have to lie.

Kang Sangchil was in a rage as he lay in Hunter’s hospital room reading only the comments on the Hunter board. He later recreated the posts on the Hunter board and read all the comments on other sites.

“Damn it! It doesn’t matter if I’m A-Class or not! I really saw it. A hotel run by an S-Class barrier magician!” 

Of course, Kang Sangchil wasn’t an A-Class.

He was a D-Class Hunter.

Still, he had some money at home, so he got a full set of items and imitated A-Class, riding the bus of high-level hunters. 

But that was the case. 

The large guilds Kang Sangchil wanted didn’t find Kang Sangchil, and Kang Sangchil often screwed up in small and medium-sized guilds that accepted him.

All Kang Sangchil wanted to do was spend his own money to take a high-rank Hunter with him and enjoy the feeling of being a high-rank Hunter.

It was never worth the money.

So even yesterday, Kang Sangchil took a B-Class Hunter into the C-Class dungeon.

“Kiieeeek!” 

The problem started when Kang Sangchil completely freaked out when the C-Class monster Chimera suddenly appeared.

“Hey, kill it quickly! hurry!”

At Kang Sangchil’s commanding tone, the B-Class Hunter’s eyes turned around for a moment. 

“Kill it…? You do it. Just do it all. It’s a D-Class subject… Damn it. You’re talking a lot, X.” 

This X, Daemyung Guild said he was a B-Class Hunter who was expelled because he had a dirty personality, and it must have been real.

“Hey, you X. Do you think my mother will leave you alone if I can’t get out of here? My mother is acquainted with the president of the association!” 

The word acquaintance wasn’t entirely wrong.

Sangchil’s mother had seen the president of the association. 

He’s the cousin of the maternal family. 

She ran into him at a wedding hall, and she had been making a fuss about how he was a handsome middle-aged man for a while after she got home. 

After that day, Sangchil liked to show off his personal connections with the president of the association. 

It didn’t matter if anyone believed or not.

If the other side got mad and yelled at him, Sangchil would try to make them jealous and explain that he was like that.

But this time, it was a little different.

The B-Class Hunter didn’t respond at all to Kang Sangchil’s bluff.

On the contrary, he just sat there and watched Kang Sangchil run away, being chased by the Chimera.

“Damn it…! How much did I pay!”

Sangchil ran away from the Chimera with tears and a runny nose. 

He could also hear the faint laughter of the B-Class Hunter. 

How long did he run away like that?

He will die at this rate. 

It was when Sangchil was driven to a dead end thinking so.

A purple sign appeared in front of Sangchil’s eyes.

Wing wing—.

A revolving door also appeared. 

It didn’t matter if what he was seeing was an illusion. 

Sangchil jumped right in.

And there he met an S-Class barrier magician with cat-like eyes.  

Not only is it impossible for monsters to get through her barrier, but she also has complete control over humans who enter it.

Even Sangchil’s Fireball skill, which cost him tens of millions of won, didn’t work inside the barrier.

No, it wasn’t to the point where it didn’t work.

The skill wasn’t even activated.

It was as if someone completely dominated the space and suppressed his mana. 

Should he say it was like the hand of God? 

And the look on the woman’s face when Kang Sangchil quickly got on his knees to beg was so creepy that it still gives him chills to think about it now. 

When she smiled, he thought she was a civil servant belonging to the Dungeon Management Department or the Hunter Association. But when she erased her expression from her face, she radiated a fearsome aura.

He once saw an interview with Han Minhyuk, the head of the Hanwoon guild, in which a B-Class monster would die just by brushing up against him. The aura described in that article was similar to what he saw.

Sangchil trembled when he thought of how cool the woman was.

Coming out of the bathroom, Sangchil’s mother shouted at Sangchil, who was on his cellphone. 

“Are you still on your cell phone?! What did you hear your father say? He said he’d block small payments on your credit card, account, and cell phone, right? Sell all the items!” 

When Sangchil heard those words, the hairs on the back of his neck stood up.

“Ah, Mom…!” 

“You asked for a chance, so I spent a lot of money to send a raid, and what hotel…? What hotel did you spend 1.9 million won on? Do you know how surprised both your father and I were?”

Sangchil’s mother slapped Sangchil’s back, who was rescued after being found by other raid members in the center of the C-Class dungeon. 

Sangchil screamed when he was hit on the back.

“Not in hotel, but you’re almost die in Dungeon? Really! The hotel I was in is where an S-Class barrier magician work!”

“What is an S-Class barrier magician? Your father and I searched for it. They say there is no S-class barrier magician! They say there are only A-Class barrier magicians in Korea! Oh my…I can’t live because of you. How do you get rid of your lying habit?” 

“Why are Mom blaming me after you gave birth to me like this!”

Since then, the hospital room has been turned upside down.

Choi Minji

(Excited emoticon) Wow, awesome. Who is this? This is Lee Junghyo, a rare Pokemon~~~ I’m sure you’re ‘I’, right? 

Uhm… What is this? 

Choi Minji

Wow, you don’t even know MBTI. That’s awesome. Where are you living in exile?

After a long time without talking to my classmate on KakaoTalk, I sent her a picture of the sea as seen from the entrance to the 5-day market. 

(Picture)

I quit my job and came down to the countryside.

Choi Minji

Amazing! Are you really in exile?! When I go to the reunion, I have to tell the kids.

Oh right. Reunion. I was wondering if I should contact you or not…

As the conversation grew longer, my desire to get back in touch with an old friend with whom I had lost touch slowly faded.

I slowly began to focus on the five-day field, increasing the reply term.

“Natural blue crab costs 20,000 won per kilogram!”

It’s hard to estimate the price accurately, but it’s definitely cheaper than Seoul.

At the five-day market stalls and rushed around to look at the fat webfoot octopuses, clams, blue crabs, and prawns.

I decided to save money until I had enough to buy VIP tickets, which would cost 500G, but my account had already contained the money I exchanged for 100G on the first day.

For the time being, I planned to invest the money in developing a breakfast menu made with fresh seafood.

‘Cooking is, of course, yours.’

“Woof woof! (Trust me and leave it to me, boss!).”

The retriever barked happily and circled in place.

I patted him on the head.

“Hey, Yeongchun-jang! Have a glass of soju with cold raw fish soup!”

Then, the chief of the women’s association waved at me.

Gulp.

When I heard the words “Soju” and “cold raw fish soup,” I couldn’t help but drool.

“Would it be okay to have just one drink?” 

“Woof! (Boss, something has changed in your eyes!).”

Ssh. Be quiet.

I told the bellboy to be quiet, and then I went quickly under the sign that said “Byeolcheon Fishery.”

…Later, the bellboy said it was my last normal appearance. 

* * *

“Uh…! This is the best!”

The next morning, I felt happy as I ate the seafood jjamppong the bellboy had made.

Fresh seasonal blue crabs and shrimp seemed to purify the stomach.

“I thought I was going to die, really….” 

Originally, I was on the strong side of drinking, but I couldn’t beat the chief of the women’s association and the head of the village, who were much better than me. 

“Why on earth do you enjoy such pain, boss…!” 

“Only adults can feel the taste of alcohol.” 

As I said so, I grabbed my stomach and looked at the window that came up in front of me. 

It was a window that said the hotel would open in about 5 hours.

I just thought that my hangover would go away by the afternoon.

It’s strange.

I feel like the system checks my condition and schedules hotel business hours at the right time.

I don’t know for sure yet, so I’ll wait and see.

Then I drank a cup of mixed coffee from the bellboy and lay down for a while.

After a lot of rolling around, my headache went away a little bit.

I left the staff accommodation and went up to the second floor with the bellboy.

It was time to clean rooms 201, 202, and 303.

“Housekeeping!”

Now, I excitedly cleaned up and shouted the name of the skill that didn’t feel embarrassing at all.

Cleaning is so simple.

It’s such a good skill.

The dirtiest room was, of course, Room 201, which Kang Sangchil used.

I don’t know what the hell he did, but the bed sheets were all over the floor, and the bathroom was in poor condition.

“Housekeeping!”

Even so, I can clean without lifting a finger if I use the skill.

Is it because the level went up or because I had mixed coffee before?

It didn’t feel that difficult even after cleaning the three rooms instantly.

I definitely have good-level feet.

As expected, should I raise my stamina with the remaining stats?

It was when I thought that and took out my cell phone to take a picture of the view from clean room 303.

A new KakaoTalk notification popped up.

Choi Minji

Then I’ll see you at the end of the month. Everyone will like it when you say you’re going to the reunion. I’m going to brag about your neighborhood~ 

…?

What did I do after drinking yesterday? 

I urgently opened the KakaoTalk app. Then, right below the KakaoTalk room with Choi Minji, I saw Aunt Misoon’s new KakaoTalk. 

Aunt Misoon

See you next weekend. Then. Please book three scenic rooms!

I had two appointments—.

I touched my temples feeling the hangover that had gone away come back again.

Then the bellboy asked anxiously.

“Is something wrong?”

“Yes… there is… The appointment… I’m caught… I need to meet someone…”

The bellboy tilted his head at my words.

“Why? I think it’s going to be so much fun!”

“It’s not fun. An appointment to meet a lot of people.”

And it’s even more of a problem that one of those appointments is with members of the SSS-Class Junghyo fan club.

All three of them are S-Class hunters! 

Why are there 3 S-Class Hunters gathered around me, of which there are only 5 in Korea?
