SSS - Class Suicide Hunter
Chapter 18's
[The challenger is hunter Kim Gong-ja. 1 person. ]
[Calculating reward ... calculation complete. ]
[Gift will be awarded 24 hours later, after you enter the 11th floor. ]
The bonus stage is clear.
Something no one else has done. I did that. Me, who is not even in the rankings.
If this is known, the world will turn around.
“Haa.”
But I don't feel comfortable. Like I was happy and sad at the same time.
I was standing in a building covered in ashes.
-hey. Why do you look like you eat shit? You even cleared the hidden stage. I can count the number of times I complete the hidden stage with one hand. The prize may be pretty good.
“A psychopath like you won't know why I'm moody now. Because you have no humanity. ”
-mm. Now I understand, you didn't eat anything but you're peeing on me now.
“…”
Surprising. My depression disappeared with a word from Bae Hu-ryeong. Yep. Living with this crazy grandfather, I won't be able to feel sensitive to many things.
“... I just thought the world was screwed.”
-hm?
“You just saw on the boss stage. Be it our world or any other world, a lot of messed up things happened. ”
- I guess.
Bae Hu-ryeong nodded.
- People's dwellings may all be like that.
We stood still like that for a while. We both saw the remains of the mansion and shuddered.
-good. Thats enough. Gee. Things like this don't suit me! Besides, Kim Gong-ja, you were amazing before!
“What?”
- Use your own methods to conquer the boss. That was amazing. I'll praise you!
I furrowed my eyebrows. He may be sincere, but I have goosebumps.
“... What's with this sudden compliment?”
-Child. I give compliments when there is something to praise. This is something you overcome not with your luck, but your expertise. You and I are partners, so we have to be happy together. Ok?
I'm getting furrowed eyebrows.
“Any..”.
-eah. What do you mean weird. Good job, Kim Gong-ja! You're so cool, Kim Gong-ja! Let's move on to Rank 1 when the 11th floor opens! So what if they all curse you by saying it's a scam. They had to obtain cheat skills if they felt they were being severely persecuted!
He laughed cheerfully. Hm? Why is he suddenly like this? Unless the sun rises from the west, or the tower collapses tomorrow, there's no way Bae Hu-ryeong will be like this.
That was.
[Announce to everyone. ]
[Today, the 10th floor stage has been cleared. ]
The voice.
[Announce to everyone again. ]
It's not a sound I'm just hearing. A voice filled the sky.
[Today. ]
[The 10th floor stage has been completed. ]
A congratulatory message that marks a new era.
[After 24 hours, the 11th floor stage opened. ]
Whooshing sound…!
Something exploded in the sky. That's fireworks. First, purple fireworks exploded, then red, blue, yellow, and all sorts of colors adorned the sky.
“Ah..”
I stared blankly at the sky. The fireworks did not go away even though they exploded. They twisted and wriggled, and slowly formed a shape.
[ 24:00:00 ]
It is the shape of a clock.
[ 23:59:59 ]
And the sky clock started moving.
“…”
Bae Hu-ryeong and I took a look at the atmosphere.
Then, he muttered to himself.
– Finally the actual show started.
I nodded my head.
“Ya.”
I saw fireworks like this when I was alive.
“It was something I also saw for the second time. But.”
I clenched my hands.
“But my past is on the first floor bar. It's just a spectacle to watch. I don't even know what's going on. I lost my chance and ended up remaining a Class F hunter all my life. The more I think about it, the more stupid I become. ”
-heehee.
Bae Hu-ryeong laughed.
-so. How does it feel to be promoted from extra to main character?
I did not answer directly. Instead, I pulled out my phone.
It was to see how the online community reacted to this.
what are these fireworks
there are fireworks on the first floor. Is it just this floor?
I'm on the 3rd floor but there are fireworks here too
As expected.
Midday fireworks warm up the online community.
anyone hear that voice now
I heard the 10th floor was cleaned but is it true.
- did the black dragon guild finish it?
there was no announcement. What the hell is going on?
Post online.
the next raid the Hunters Association announced was 2 weeks later.
it's not a black dragon! They were all in front of the cafe in front of the Babylon bank on the 1st floor.The picture was attached as evidence
- Who cleans it?
And more posts.
– [Breaking News] 10th floor cleaned!
the Guild that finished it has not been revealed yet.
– [Breaking News] Black Dragon, no opening announcement.
Every second, new posts are uploaded in the community. It's just one of them. All hunter communities are like this, and this fire soon spreads to other communities.
News agencies in Babylonia frantically released one-sentence articles, and gossip re-ignited the flames.
- What if not a black dragon?
- I pray in ten thousand temples rn. here is crazy. It seemed like it was not a ten thousand temple either.
- yeah! it's a holy sword!
– Holy swords clean it themselves. 100%
Initially, the fire started on its own. Some pushed the Ten Thousand Temple. Another place pointed to the Sword Saint. Count, Venomous Snake, Crusader, etc. All the greatest hunters are mentioned at least once.
But…
what are you talking about. the sword saint was drinking milk at the bar?
- it is not the sword saint, the image is attached as evidence
the poisonous snake was teaching the members of the training guild
- what are you talking about?
- crusader works in babel square
- I asked myself. The holy sword said it wasn't him
- Wait. This doesn't make any sense
- this is sanghyun executive. I cannot reveal my real name but it is not sangryun.
why didn't any guild say they finished it
what the fuck
The burned communities come together as one. With one big question.
then who is it
doesn't anyone know who cleaned it?
-Who is the hunter who conquered the 10th floor?
- just who …

I turned off the main screen of my phone.
And I decided to answer what Bae Hu-ryeong asked earlier.
“My feelings now.”
From one moment.
I smiled.
“To be honest it feels amazing.”
It's something I've never felt in my entire life. But I know what this feeling is without anyone telling me. I instinctively know.
It was a feeling of being at the top.
“I feel like I'm on top of the world.”
- okay?
Bae Hu-ryeong grinned.
it is nothing more than an illusion. You're not on top, and you're just conquering the 10th floor. But it's not 100% an illusion. Gong-ja Kim. You are closer to the top than anyone else in your world.
“I know.”
I averted my eyes.
“Now all that is left is to be at the top.”
The stone stairs that must be passed if you want to challenge the hellfire residence. One man ran up the stairs.
The doorman I had deceived said I had a terminal illness.
“Pant, cough…! Haha. Hunter-nim…! ”
The doorkeeper was drenched in sweat. It seems he ran straight away. And he stopped in front of me panting.
“It. A, is that you? ”
“I don't know what you're talking about.”
“T, Floor 10 clean!”
The doorkeeper shouted.
“I'm in charge today. and you're the only hunter challenging the 10th floor today, so. The Hunters Association kept calling me to ask what happened…! ”
“Mm.”
I saw the doorman. Buzzing. Buzzz. When he talked to me, his pocket kept shaking. Maybe that's his call. As he said, he seemed like the entire Tower was panicking.
I smile.
“What will you do if I really finish it?”
“Excuse?”
“I asked what you would do if I was really a hunter cleaning the 10.” floor
“T, The..”.
The doorkeeper had a confused face.
“I can not check your ID so .. I will do it now.”
“Neah. Doorkeeper. Thats odd. It's not like you can't check my ID. You even took 100 Gold from me. ”
“T, The.”
“You through many jobs.”
I gently patted her shoulder. He looked at me with a confused face. And I passed it to go down the stone steps.
I heard a desperate scream from behind me.
“T, Please wait a moment! Hunter-nim are! Even your nickname is fine! Please at least tell me your nickname before you leave! Or I will be beaten up by my Senior Association! ”
I answered without looking back.
“I don't have a nickname.”
“…”
“Work hard. Ah, and don't follow me. Or I'll really run away. ”
Fortunately, the doorman did not follow me. Even if he did, it didn't matter. I could easily lose him because he was tired from the stairs.
-hey. His face is interesting to see. Looks like he saw a ghost.
Bae Hu-ryeong sneered looking back.
part, good work. This is how you increase the value of your name. Yep. You have to get people to find you. Even without you telling me…
Sword Emperor.
- huh? Whahuh?
I stood in front of the transmission stone that was in front of the entrance of the 10th floor.
“I realize.”
- Realizing what?
“Why are you suddenly praising me.”
I ordered the one that went to the 1st floor and spoke.
“Bet.”
Bae Hu-ryeong stopped.
“I remembered. You promised to call me Gong-ja-nim if I finish the boss in 2 Coins, right? Wow, what are you going to do now. I actually did it in 2 Coins. Our Sword Emperor-nim is in deep trouble. ”
-hey. Gong-ja... but we're partners.. Isn't that a little wrong?
Bae Hu-ryeong begged with a face that was about to cry.
- Think about it. Partners have an equal standing. You and me. The equivalent position. Someone who dominates up to the 99th floor and someone who will challenge the 100th floor. Hey, fellas! Buddy! How beautiful that is!
I smiled brightly.
“Baik. Sekarang panggil aku Gong-ja-nim saat kamu berbicara denganku. ”
-…
“For ever.”
That was when, Bae Hu-ryeong's face became desperate.
