Prologue
Everyone in this world climbs the tower before becoming a Hunter.
From the 1st floor to the 100th floor.
A system that gets stronger as you go up.
Over 80% of those who couldn’t even pass the tutorial.
Those who were eliminated on the 10th floor were classified as E-class hunters.
The one who reached the 20th floor was a D-class Hunter.
The 30th floor is C grade.
The 40th floor is class B.
Currently, the one who gained fame as an S-class was a person who had risen to the 60th floor.
and i
The 100th floor is just around the corner. Chapter 1 Entrance
Dungeon. The space created by the opening of the gate.
A fierce battleground where numerous monsters live and at the same time, a superhuman named Hunter hunts.
More than 10 years have passed since the monster appeared.
Humanity has also evolved to adapt to the changing world.
Hunters and ordinary people. They were pretty used to each other by now.
At first, there were conflicts, but now Hunter’s popularity is skyrocketing.
“Wow, crazy.”
I was amazed by watching Beautv on my cell phone.
What you see on the screen is Kim Han-seong, an S-rank hunter.
He was one of the strongest players in the country.
“You look handsome. okay. take it all Take them all.”
He was everyone’s lover with his good looks and upright mind. In fact, I even showed my face in numerous commercials.
A strong hunter gains strength. I earn a lot of money as much as I risk my life.
State support does not cease. Because without them, monsters cannot be stopped.
Even for the safety of the country and the people, the Hunter was a must-have.
Among them, the person at the top is Kim Han-seong.
restrained action. Calm but resolute to end the life of a monster with certainty.
He has so much charisma.
“The 61st floor.”
I murmured briefly. The number of floors climbed by Kim Han-seong, an S-class hunter.
All Hunters are summoned to the tower before awakening.
In the early days, the country was paralyzed due to the pouring of monsters, so it was simply treated as missing, but that was for a while.
Those who had been forgotten returned as powerful people.
Superhumans who exhibit incomprehensible supernatural powers and show supernatural powers that cannot be thought of as human beings.
they said
[Climb the tower as high as possible.]
[The higher you climb, the stronger you will be given.]
[Coin. Possibilities vary depending on the given coin. If you haven’t climbed the tower yet, pray. Ask them to get as many coins as possible.]
Coins. It was a challenging opportunity given to individuals.
If you have 1 coin, you can climb again even if you die while climbing.
If you have two, you can try again even if you die twice.
Whether you climbed once or twice, the strength of the Hunter was determined based on the number of floors climbed the highest while in the tower.
Countless Hunters lamented.
He said that he would have climbed even one more floor, and that if it hadn’t been for that mistake, he would have become a high-ranking hunter.
“Because there is a limit to being strong in real life.”
Numerous hunters testified.
Even in real life, you can become stronger by going around dungeons, but it’s not comparable to the tower.
Climbing the first floor of the tower more than going around dungeons for 10 years makes me grow a lot.
“If only I could climb the tower.”
I muttered as I looked down at the video that had ended before I knew it.
damn world. Monsters to tear apart. absurd life.
It took strength to solve all of that.
A world that has changed. It was no longer a joke to say that the fist preceded the law.
– Bahak!
“Heuk!”
As I was alone in my thoughts, a dull pain ran through my head.
I grabbed my tingling hair and turned my head to see Park Seon-hak, an E-rank hunter, glaring at me with a crumpled face.
The way he touches his lips with the corner of his mouth raised is exactly what Yangachi is.
He leaned down to eye level with me and started pushing my head with his fingers.
“You are touching your phone again. Anyway, that’s the problem with stupid bastards. You have no concept? Don’t you know you’re entering a dungeon? You can’t just throw it away.”
It’s pure nonsense. There were still 30 minutes left before entering the dungeon.
When I glanced behind him, my fellow hunters were also giggling.
I’m just doing this because I’m bored, you scumbags.
Swearing rose to his throat, but he couldn’t spit it out.
Despite their low rating, they are hunters.
It’s not something that I, a normal person, can stand against.
In particular, dungeons are virtually lawless. It is a place where people often die.
It meant that even if a porter like me died, it would be treated as an accidental death.
“What? look at the eyes You know they don’t use porters these days, right? I can’t thank you.”
“Oh no. I’ve heard a lot of stories about how dirty my eyes are. I am always grateful.”
I waved my hand with the clearest face possible.
Gratitude is a bottom hunter who doesn’t even have money to buy a subspace pocket to freeze to death.
He bit his molars, but did not express himself.
Thinking like this, I was also living as a porter without a proper job.
It wasn’t because I was particularly lazy.
I just lost everything because of the damn monster.
It was a common story.
When you go to work one day, the company building is gone.
I don’t know if it’s a place with a scale, but in the case of small and medium-sized enterprises, there were many cases where it was dismantled in the air.
On the day he lost his job because bad things happen, even his family lost their lives in the monster wave that exploded.
That was the story two years ago when I was 26 years old.
“Hey hey. Let’s have fun and go inside.”
Like a toy, his head was turning back and forth at Park Seon-hak’s fingertip, when his colleague called him.
My cheeks are tingling. Even an E-class hunter is a hunter at first, so even if I tap it lightly, it seems that my mouth is slightly torn.
woo.
Seeing the saliva mixed with blood, it really exploded. You bastard.
“already? You still have 30 minutes left.”
“catch!”
“Your eyes sting!”
They chase after me with weapons to catch me running away.
okay. follow me
“Even if I die, I won’t die alone.”
I put the whistle I had hung around my neck into my mouth.
-Beep-beep—!
blew hard
An ear-piercing noise.
The whistle that resonated for several kilometers was sharp.
-Kurrure!
-Kong! kong!
Hounds have good ears.
What I did now was simple.
to summon monsters.
While I was running, I turned my head and looked at them.
contemplative face.
Even if things were twisted, you must have felt that they were tightly twisted.
Numerous footsteps and howling could be heard among the bushes.
“Fuck it. Let’s all die together, right?”
“I’ve already caught up behind you!”
“Shit!”
-Kuhung!
The bush behind them cracked and a hound came out and attacked the hunters.
They fought back wielding swords and spears, but only ten hounds showed up.
“Quaaaaagh!”
“My arms! portion! Damn the potion. He has it!”
It wasn’t long before the hunters were bitten while surrounded by hounds.
The sound of blood gushing and bones breaking is heard loudly.
“Nice assholes.”
I don’t think it’s going to be that different from me.
I was besieged by the Hounds as well.
It was unfair to die alone, so I did it, but the situation is the worst.
“Can I?”
swallowed saliva
Those who have secured their prey leisurely circle around me.
I held the same teardrop ball I used earlier.
Five pieces left. If you’re lucky, you might be able to buy some time to escape to the dungeon entrance.
– Suddenly,
I put a bottle of potion in my mouth.
With a tear ball in one hand and a dagger in the other, there won’t be time to leisurely take out the potions one by one.
I counted the numbers as I slipped behind me.
one.
two.
three.
Goes!
-Pahaaaaagh!
At the same time as throwing a tear ball, he turned around and ran.
As expected, the Hound frightened and left the place.
– Fu-wook!
I thrust a dagger through the throat of one of the distraught hounds and ran through the trees.
Please, I hope they are lethargic for a long time.
– Kreurreung!
-Kuhung!
Hearing the cries coming from all directions, I don’t think that’s the case.
clever guys. It catches up in places out of reach of the scent range.
“Khaaaang!”
The hound, which overtook me with quick mobility, jumped out.
“Kheop!”
I swung my sword to try to block it somehow, but it missed.
The Hound, who did not miss the opportunity, pushed his mouth.
– Fast!
Sharp teeth lodged in the arm.
A terrible pain arises. trembling arms.
-Changgang!
I immediately bit the potion in my mouth.
Shards of glass pierced his mouth, blood oozing out, and at the same time, the wound began to heal.
My throat feels sore from swallowing a piece of glass.
“Two. Eat this!”
He spat out the remaining glass in his mouth and shoved a tear ball into his mouth.
Tear powder bursting from within.
“Kegeg! Yikes!”
Tears and mucus poured out, and I stabbed the man who let go of his arm with a dagger in the eye.
The guy who is drooling as if his brain was stabbed.
I didn’t feel happy.
“Khaaaang!”
“Kreurreuk!”
Time wasted because of this one.
It was enough for the rest of the hounds to rush in.
It runs without turning back or left.
Perhaps it was mixed with resentment from the tear gas.
I too struggled and stabbed the dagger.
“Aaaaaaa!”
There are too many of them. It’s E-class, but I couldn’t beat the hunters, so can I be different?
He tried to keep his neck and head alive, but it was just a meaningless action.
Consciousness fading due to flesh-ripping wounds and excessive bleeding.
In it I saw
[Conditions are met.]
[The tower invites you.]
