Leveling
37

The Gates that stood behind them were large even for the Rank-C Gates.

The waiting Hunters approached Jin Woo and Yoo Jinho who came out of their Bongo.

None of them are visible .. Normal Some of them seem to have trouble moving, others seem like

a patient, while some even gave off the impression of an alcoholic.

There was even an underage girl, whose age was not enough to be accepted by

Association or Guild; he seemed to be a high school student.

"Can I still bring that one?"

“I went and got some legal counsel.There is no legal reason why he

can't join us.It would only be a big problem if he was injured"

Jin Woo nodded.

"Then that's okay."

Since the only ones who entered Gates were him and Yoo Jinho, there was no possibility

he's gonna get hurt.

All that the gathered Hunter would use was to charge a minimum amount

entering the Gates.

The other Hunters were well aware of this.

Although they have a Hunter license, they cannot work as a Hunter because

various reasons.

After living an ordinary life for those reasons, they easily agree to

recruited as filler member only.

Yoo Jinho stepped forward, though,

“My name is Yoo Jinho.I will be the leader of this Raid.And this guy is Hunter

Sung Jin Woo - nim.

He is the only other person who will enter the Dungeon with me.You all can

waiting near Gates until we get back. ”

One of the Hunters carefully raised a hand,

"Eh ... So if we just wait here, would you still pay us three million?"

There was no need for them to participate in the Raid.

There was not even a need for them to enter the Dungeon.

But they will be paid 3 million per-Raid.

To only fill the number of employees for the Association's records, this is compensation

that's remarkable.

But because the rewards are great only for the easy things, many of the Hunters are cautious.

"Yes, that's the promise."

Yoo Jinho gathered strength in his lungs; his eyes became serious.

“There is one condition.You should not talk about what you see here to anyone.

It is written on your contract.After breaching that contract, you will be asked to

pay ten times your wages as a penalty"

The Hunters whispered to each other.

Just what these two people planned to do in the Dungeon until they would be willing to make

a contract like that?

They were curious, but they could not ask.

Because it's part of the contract.

["There is no question about what will happen in the Dungeon."]

Jin Woo wants to keep his special circumstances a secret, while Yoo Jinho wants to keep his plans

to be a Guildmaster secret.

Therefore, they really plan to keep the mouth of their teammates.

"..."

Instead of asking the two questions, the Hunters whispered to themselves

this situation.

"Wait, can you two people even do something in a Rank-C Dungeon?"

"You don't seem that strong ..."

"If they're good enough to clean up a Rank-C Gates with just two, why

they don't work for large Guilds?"

"Yes, you're right ..."

They were all suspicious, but no one wanted to back down.

Reasons clear.

The conditions are too great.

Even Jin Woo has received similar conditions to the previous 2 million payment.

Compared to the incident of Hwang Dongseok, Hunter this time will get an extra

1 Million more as money shut up.

They are wasting their time explaining everything.

Seeing that, Jin Woo approached Yoo Jinho,

"We have to go now"

"Understand, hyungnim."

Yoo Jinho replied politely, then caught everyone's attention by clapping.

"Well, I think we're done explaining the details.We're not going to force anyone to

enter.Is there anyone who wants to retreat for the time being? "

"..."

"..."

Of course, no one raised a hand.

Then, now the two people can enter the Gates-

"Ah,hyungnim, intermittent."

As if remembering something, Yoo Jinho quickly ran kemabli to Bongo.

She takes something from the car and starts wearing it, then slowly walks towards Jin Woo.

"What are you wearing?"

“It is made by the Craftsman Guild of Italy.It is a complete set of strong armor,hyungnim.

If it will only be the two of us who will enter the Dungeon, I must

prepare at least this much, right? "

Jin Woo could not answer.

"..."

Covered from head to toe in armor, Yoo Jinho looked like a piece

giant metal walking.

Even just looking at it gives a sense of claustrophobia.

Note: fear of narrow or closed spaces

"What's up, hyungnim?"

Unable to hold it in anymore, Jin Woo walks over and draws a sword to Yoo Jinho's side and

dropped it.

"W-what?"

Yoo Jinho lost his balance trying to lift the sword and fell to the ground.

thuds

Jin Woo held back the anger that formed inside him and spoke firmly

to the young man,

"I'll say this once.Go and let go of it all "

"…Yes sir…"

Yoo Jinho started to get up and spoke,

"Nusemelg ..."

"What?"

"Please help me"

Jin Woo sighed deeply at Yoo Jinho's outstretched hand.

________________________________________

"Is this okay, hyungnim?"

"Yes, it's okay."

In the end, they agreed that Yoo Jinho would at least wear his helmet alone.

The young man entered the Gates with a satisfied expression; and Jin Woo followed him in silence.

After the couple entered Gates, Hunter approached Gates one by one and looked at him.

One of them spoke with worry,

"They're not very confident, are they? ..."

"Yes…"

Their words broke the dam of silence of the other Hunters.

They all have something they want to say.

"What happens if only the two of them clear his Dungeon?"

"Well, we've already received the money ..."

"But still…"

"Wait, what's their name again?"

A man with a cast on one of his legs quickly pulled out his phone and

looking for their boss's name.

"Yoo Jinho, Sung Jin Woo ..."

Do they care about the man standing with the crutches or them

curious as to what he found, the other Hunter helped the man stand up while

saw his cell phone.

"What's? The leader of the Raid is only Rank-D?"

The Hunters shouted after hearing this news.

The next bit of information surprised them even more.

"And the other one is Rank-E!"

"Isn't it dangerous for Rank-E to enter Rank-C Gates?"

"Rank-D and E want to clean up the C-Rank Gates alone?"

"Is that possible?"

"Damn, the leader of Raid doesn't even have any prior experience!"

"Why would someone so young want to do this?"

For the other Hunter, Jin Woo and Yoo Jinho's actions were simply suicide by an extra step.

There is a reason why the Association places a minimum amount restriction on people who will

entering Gates Rank-C: 10 Hunters, with at least half of them to be located

on top of Hunter Rank-C.

"Tsk, ttsk."

A man with gray hair took out a cigarette and put it down

in mouth.

"I say impatience is the source of many young people's deaths"

White smoke filled the air.

"..."

"..."

The Hunters became at a loss for words.

Feeling like they've helped other people kill themselves, they feel bad.

Even if it was truly a stranger, no one wanted to see, or rather, it was,

knew that someone would die in the Gates in front of them.

Not only that, they feel disappointed at the idea that they will not be paid for

18 Raid left.

It was regrettable, but there was no way the two men would come back alive.

"Should ... should we call the Association?"

"No, what if we get blamed during their investigation?"

At that moment, Gates rippled, and Jin Woo and Yoo Jinho walked out of the Dungeon.

"Pant,pant,pant"

Yoo Jinho took a strong breath.

The faces of the two men were filled with exhaustion.

"Oh!"

"They're back safely!"

"Thankfully."

The Hunters greeted the couple with congratulations.

Due to their short time in the Dungeon, the Hunters thought that the pair were

wandering aimlessly at the entrance and managed to escape.

But suddenly, the expressions of the hunters began to change.

Someone shouted,

"G-Gates! Gates is closing! "

Whahuh?

They all turned toward Gates.

"Damn it!"

"It!"

"They-they beat the boss?!"

As usual when the boss is defeated, Gates will tremble, and that signals the beginning of his closure.

While the Hunters opened their mouths wide in surprise, Jin Woo silently

sneak away from them and ask Yoo Jinho, who,

"Where's next?"

"About an hour's drive from here, hyungnim."

"Let's go."

Jin Woo and Yoo Jinho re-enter Bongo.

The Hunters stared at their backs with dumbfounded expressions.

Realizing the other hunters did not move, Yoo Jinho shouted after them, saying,

"Let's go, Hunter-nims.We have to finish two more Gates today”

The other Hunter's mouth opened wider.

The middle-aged Hunter with graying hair didn't even notice if

his cigarette fell from his open mouth.

"They just cleared a Rank-C Dungeon and they still want to do another Raid?"

He's not the only one who thinks like that.

All the Hunters who were there were also thinking something similar.

"Who are the two of them?"

________________________________________

Day 1.

groooooans

The zombie horde is approaching.

"Hyungnim, they're coming!"

"Good."

Jin Woo seamlessly sneaks through the approaching zombies.

As he passed by them, the heads of the zombies fell to the ground.

Their numbers are rapidly decreasing.

Rest one.

stab!

groooans!

As Jin Woo pierces the chest of the last zombie with a dagger, a familiar electronic tone is heard.

ring ~!

[You level up!]

Gazing from behind, Yoo Jinho clapped in admiration.

“Hyungnim! You look cool!"

"It's magic."

"Ah, really."

Yoo Jinho quickly began to gather magic nuclei into his bag.

Meanwhile, the electronic tone that only Jin Woo could hear continued after the message

level up before.
