3. Why are you coming out there?

I followed Eden without much thought and wondered what an SS rank dungeon would be like. I generally assumed that dungeons would be similar to the games I’m used to playing, but when I actually got there the feeling was no joke.

Firstly, the dungeon management was much better than I expected. Even though I saw Eden secretly giving bribes to the dungeon manager, it feels like some people are also systematically managing the dungeon like this.

Anyway, we were finally able to enter the dungeon illegally by giving bribes. Eden boasted that there was no fear of being caught by the guild master because this wasn’t a dungeon managed by the Loki Guild.

“Can we really clear the dungeon by ourselves?”

No matter how important the secrecy was, I didn’t know that I would be going to the dungeon with Eden alone. However, responding to my question, Eden frowned as if his pride had been hurt. “Of course it’s possible. Don’t you trust your oppa?”

“...Fuck.”

That damn oppa joke again. I wanted to hit Eden in the face, but I held it in. I’m sure that damn guy would be happy if he got hit. Anyway, since he was an A-class hunter, he seemed to be able to clear D-rank dungeons alone. Eden’s role was very important because Han Yi-jin had no combat ability.

“But aren’t you going to give me a weapon?” I asked Eden who was checking his equipment standing in front of the dungeon entrance. This bastard wore gear from head to toe and gave me nothing.

“Do you really need a weapon?”

“...”

Fuck. Eden skimmed down my body with a clearly disregarded look. I now only wear minimal protective gear.

“You want me to go to the dungeon without a weapon?”

“You don’t have to fight.”

“I mean, you never know!”

Hearing my words, Eden looked troubled and started looking at his inventory. Noticing Eden’s attitude, I could see how Han Yi-jin had levelled up in the dungeon.

“Well, you won’t be able to use a sword... A stick? How about a stick?”

“...”

What Eden took out of the inventory was a worthless stick that looked like a baseball bat. He really wants me to beat him like a dog, huh. “Do you want me to hit you with this?”Fịndd new updates on n(o)v/e/lbin(.)com

“Oh, really? Then I’d be grateful.”

“Fuck.”

I really frowned seeing Eden’s delighted face. Then I raised my middle finger. “Go away.”

“I’m joking, just joking.” Eden, who spoke with a face that didn’t look joking at all, returned the stick to his inventory. Then he took out something elongated and handed it to me.

“Try this.”

“A gun?” I looked at Eden and the gun alternately, surprised that I had inadvertently received a gun. “Is this a real gun?”

“Then would it be fake?

“...”

I was momentarily stunned by the gap between the reality I experienced and the reality in the novel. The world in the novel, the SS-class world, allows hunters to carry all kinds of weapons. As long as you don’t use a gun in public, you are allowed to carry this kind of weapon.

Plus, this isn’t an ordinary gun. The equipment, which was identical in shape to the Beretta pistol, glowed faintly from the white barrel.

“Well, it’s created by a C-class gunsmith, and maybe it’ll come in handy.”

“Hmm.” I scanned the gun in my hand. With a C-class production skill, it wouldn’t be a high-grade weapon.

“But you know how to shoot, don’t you?”

“...”

What do you think I am? I served in the army. Perhaps the world hasn’t even enlisted hunters since the Gate crisis. I glanced at Eden and loaded my gun.

I opened my mouth in surprise and the rabbit rushed toward us. Unlike me, whose body hardened at the sudden situation, Eden moves fast. Perhaps he’s used to it.

Kwaang!

The wind barrier that Eden made prevented the full-level rabbit from rushing over. The rabbit bounced into the air as if angry, and howled.

Kkiii kkii!

“I told you, right?” said Eden, turning his back on the ferocious rabbit while Eden looked at me as if he was right. I was surprised, but I don’t know why he was so proud like he was bragging about it.

“I got it, so deal with it quickly.”

The rabbit’s face was cute and lovely, but the body and its actions that betrayed him were destroying its innocence. When I said that with a distressed face, Eden said with a grin. “Okay, Yijin only trusts his Oppa.”

“Fuck.”

“Haha.” Eden swung his hand with a pleasant smile as the swearing escaped from my mouth. A translucent light shot out of his hand with the gauntlet.

Kuung!

“Kkiiik!”

The rabbit, pierced by the strong wind, shrieked. It was a ferocious figure, but it looked definitely weak, perhaps because it was a monster of a D-rank dungeon.

“I think we’re about to be cornered.”

As soon as Eden said that, the same-looking full-level rabbits appeared and surrounded us. I was wondering why Eden was so relaxed about handling the rabbits, and it seemed like he was trying to lure and hunt down the group of rabbits that heard the screams.

“Kkik kkii!”

“Kkiii kkiik!”

After that, the massacre took place. The rabbit that Eden was swinging was cut off. I was just indifferent when I saw the dead rabbits, beheaded, with blood spurting out from all over their bodies.

Was it because Han Yi-jin’s mental stat is high? The scene was far from realistic. It didn’t look too brutal despite all the blood. I turned my head because I thought one corner of my mind would be weird if I continued like this. The unseemly screams continued in the peaceful forest, and I carefully surveyed the corner of the forest.

“...”

There was a dark area in the forest. The shady grass swayed suspiciously. I didn’t think I should touch it carelessly, but it kept bothering me. I wanted to tell Eden, but he seemed busy with the full-level rabbit slaughter.

“Hmm.” Thinking hard, I carefully approached the shaded area. What would happen in a D-rank dungeon anyway? I thought about it halfway.

When I carefully reached out, the swaying grass became silent. I guess it’s nothing?

I tried to go back, but something appeared and grabbed my hand.

“Argh!”

“...Han Yijin?”

The hideous blue eyes I’d seen before stared at me.

No, why is the main character here?

Kang Yoo-hyun looked at me frantically and gradually put more strength into my clasped hands.

[...The dungeon rating is being adjusted due to the disturbance.]

Then, there was a blunt system voice.

What is the system talking about? Rating adjustment?

[Alfheim-D29 will be rated as SS.]

This is madness.

My complexion hardened and I cursed inside.
