Civil Servant Hunter’S S-Class Resignation Log Chapter 278

Side Story 2. Solitude

#1

Destroyed Civilization, Collapsed City, Broken Ore Fragments, Warmless Bodies Strewn Everywhere, and...

“You Killed Us!”

“Because of you, our planet was destroyed!”

“I will curse, I will curse! I will curse you forever until you die!”

Those who curse even while vomiting blood and dying.

It is a sight I will never forget and should not forget.

Therefore, Seong Ja-rim stood still until those who were shouting curses fell down one by one and died.

Finally, when she was sure that not a single creature was standing in front of her, she dropped the scythe, covered in blood and fragments, to the ground.

Now there is nothing left on this earth. There was not a single sign of life.

Seong Ja-rim’s cheeks began to get wet.

Left alone in this vast land. She had never wanted something like this, but in the end, it was her hands that destroyed the planet like someone’s curse.

However, she could not take her own life because she did not deserve to die. How can a man who killed everyone who was kind to him and destroyed the planet die in peace?

It is right to suffer for a long time and be punished for a long time.

So Seong Ja-rim lived. Collecting everyone’s bodies, building a tomb, and cleaning up the collapsed city. Alone there.

Endless loneliness.

That was the punishment I gave myself.

“...ah.”

Seong Ja-rim woke up, rubbing his eyes. It seemed like it was deep dawn as my son-in-law was still dimly lit.

Instead of looking at the clock, I looked at the night sky through the half-open curtain.

Today too, I had a dream about the time I lived in Baskar.

It’s already been two years since I returned to Earth, but memories of those days still come to me every night in the form of dreams.

Even after learning that the direct cause of the planet’s destruction was not him but Baskar’s manager, the nightmare did not stop.

Because the fact that she massacred the people there didn’t change.

“But it’s a little better now.”

Seong Ja-rim, looking at the cold new dawn sky, smiled slightly.

Luckily, she returned to Earth, but even after that, she did not come to her senses for a long time.

Especially right after having a nightmare, there were many times when I lost half of my senses and almost hit everything around me.

If Yoon Seo-ra had not stayed by his side, he might have been designated as a dangerous element and imprisoned until he regained stability.

But Yoon Seo-ra. Thanks to Shin Dawn’s sky-like friend who consoled her from nightmares and prevented her frequent seizures, she was able to adapt to life on Earth much faster than expected.

So Seong Ja-rim liked Seora.

Although we don’t get to see each other often because of Liza, who has stepped down from her position as manager.

“Hey, it’s okay to sleep again.”

“Why not? “Looking at your equipment, it looks like you’ve made a lot of money so far.”

Seong Ja-rim scanned the equipment the hunters were wearing. These are all pieces of equipment that are sold at quite expensive prices in the item shop.

“Of course, there are those whose only means of making a living is selling dungeon by-products. There may be no way to return to normal life. But still, there is nothing more important than life.”

Seong Ja-rim took out a scythe from his inventory. The hunters who were glaring at her also hesitated and retreated as if they were scared of Seong Ja-rim, who was holding a weapon.

“All gates must be removed. “So that no one unlucky person gets trapped there.”

Seeing Seong Ja-rim’s bitter tone, Kang Se-jun glanced at her.

Geum-an, who seemed to be reminiscing about the past for a moment, froze coldly the moment he turned back to the hunters standing in front of him.

“If you interfere, I will kill you. Move.”

thud. The scythe got stuck on the floor. Everyone’s faces turned pale at the terrifying force emanating from Seong Ja-rim.

Even if they all attack, they cannot defeat even one Seong Ja-rim. But since Kang Se-jun is there, no matter how much power they have, the only thing left is defeat.

In the end, everyone gritted their teeth and dropped their weapons.

Since the government defined all those who interfered with the gate attack as criminals, they were all arrested as criminals.

Kang Se-jun shook his head as he watched the men being dragged away by officials from the Jeju Island Association.

“Unless the gate and the awakened people disappear along with the magic, this will continue to repeat itself.”

13 years is by no means a short time.

Since many people have long since adapted to the changed world, there will certainly be some who are not happy about the peace that has returned.

Kang Se-jun also did not know that feeling. In this world, aside from Seong Ja-rim and Rize, he is the one who has been through the system the longest.

“But nothing changes. The gates must all come down. And without the Gate, the existence of the Awakened is no longer needed. “I like not having the power to easily kill someone.”

“...okay. You’re right.”

Kang Se-jun tapped Seong Ja-rim on the shoulder.

“Let’s go in now. “It took longer than expected.”

“Hey, you should have dragged them in and told them to solve the problem since you blocked it.”

“Oh, I see. I should have done that. hmm. Should I bring it back?”

“I want to do that, but if a breakout occurs in the meantime, it’s a problem. “Ah, I’ll definitely take you with me next time.”

Kang Se-jun entered the gate with a grumbling Seong Ja-rim.

The grade is level 2. Even though they were L-class, it wasn’t enough for just the two of them to attack, but the two didn’t care at all.

This was a simple matter for them, who had endured nearly decades of chaos.

* * *

The dungeon raid was completed in less than three hours. Thanks to Seong Ja-rim’s ability to recover physical strength and magical power, neither of them were injured, but unexpectedly, a very large loss occurred.

“How could this happen...”

Seong Ja-rim stammered and touched her stomach with a face that seemed as if the world had collapsed.

Then he slumped down in his seat as if he couldn’t overcome the pain.

“My clothes are torn...!”

The Hawaiian shirt I wore after hearing that the gate was going to explode on Jeju Island got so excited that it got torn during the battle.

How could such a terrible thing happen? I haven’t even been able to enjoy my trip to Jeju Island yet!

“So who wants to wear clothes like that during battle? “I should have worn it after finishing.”

Kang Se-jun looked at Seong Ja-rim, who was frustrated next to him, with pitiful eyes.
