Chapter 8: Adaptation (2)


    Primitive magical knowledge.


    At the same time, it is an IT device made with technology that I couldnt even imagine.


    Im curious as to why this ce has evolved in such a strange way, but theres something to point out first.


    <i>So even if I use the absorbent here, no one will know?</i>


    Because the difference in information was the difference in power.


    This made me realize one thing.


    Maybe, even if I cant use magic, I can still survive on Earth.


    ***


    A week has passed since then.


    Hoaaam.


    Its been a few days since I came to Earth.


    Now, I am quite familiar with Kim Kiryeos body. I got up from the bed.


    Even today, the magic still hasnte out.


    Still, I nodded with satisfaction while looking at the mirror in front of the bathroom.


    Ive gained weight.


    I was recovering my health quickly, perhaps thanks to my hard work in nutrition.


    I expressed gratitude for my small aplishment and returned to my room.


    It was a leisurely morning.


    <i>Lets eat the eggs I bought today!</i>


    But in fact, my current situation was far from leisurely.


    Rather, it should have been seen as a crisis. Because I have felt the bitterness of society keenly over the past week.


    <i>I hope the problem is solved before I eat all these eggs.</i>


    This is a profession where I can spend hundreds of millions of dors if I put my mind to it. Hunter.


    However, contrary to the fantasy in the media, life as a low-ranking F to E-ss hunter was no different from hell.


    Since the most awakened people fall into this ss, dont they go to different areas to attack a single gate, let alone find a normal hunting ground?


    However, weak monsters that anyone can defeat dont make money.


    So, there are all kinds of risks lurking in catching monsters that can make money.


    The money that an F-ss awakening person earns for a month at the risk of risking their life is about 4.3 million won.


    To be honest, while researching the hunter job for the past week, the final evaluation I made of F-ss life was low levelpatibility with hard work.


    <i>There are rted memories in Kiryeos brain as well. Still, when you awaken, you be stronger than an ordinary person. F-ss people who pursue safety all went to construction sites and took the jobs</i>


    Moreover, I was in a particrly bad situation.


    The reincarnated being has a problem with one of its legs and cant use any magic.


    What can this trashy body do to beat something?


    <i>Poison butterflies dont make money. The association doesnt even buy it.</i>


    If I keep going like this, my savings will run out, and I will starve to death again. So I came up with a different idea for making money.


    First of all, I brought a lot of absorbent.


    I took a quick look.


    There are already ck envelopes piled up in the small studio.


    These were the soil I had taken from the gate, and I knew a few magical creatures I could kill with them.


    I knew a few things about water.


    I searched and found that there were simr monsters on Earth


    The problem is how to get into the C-ss gate where it lives.


    ording to the regtions of the association, Kiryeo, an F-ss hunter, wasnt permitted to enter the C-ss gate.


    How about a chat?


    I thought for a while toe up with a good idea.


    <i>Its difficult to start a business with an absorbent when I dont know much about the Earth yet. Moreover, its strange that the body I chose is an F-ss. Theres definitely something wrong with that awakening test</i>


    And


    <i>Beeeep</i>


    <i>Wuuung</i>


    Ack! What kind of noise is it!


    It surprised me!


    Suddenly, a loud noise rang from Kim Kiryeos cell phone.


    I think nothing like this has ever happened before?


    <i>Beep.</i>


    I was startled and quickly checked my phone.


    The screen was then filled with a text message.


    <b><i>< Emergency disaster text message</i></b>


    <b><i>[[Dungeon Break] July 13th, 12:30</i></b>


    <b><i>Red Gate urs near Mapo-gu, Seoul</i></b>


    <b><i>B-ss monsters appearance alert / monster movement</i></b>


    <b><i>Evacuate after checking the route https://.]</i></b>


    What does this mean?


    Even after seeing the text, I couldnt understand the situation for a moment.


    But themotion didnt end there.


    Around the time when I was dumbfounded by what I was experiencing for the first time. I realized that the outside of the hallway had be noisy.


    Through the thin wall of the studio, the sound of the door next door thumped and rang


    When I listened closely, I saw that some people started running and making noises.


    Its stupid not to notice this much, so I immediately opened the front door and evacuated with the residents.


    <i>I dont know what it is, but I think itll be dangerous if I stay still.</i>


    Is there maybe a monster approaching?


    I was curious about the details of the situation, but there was no time to ask questions.


    Kiryeos painful legs were limited to just chasing after the residents. I had no choice but to shut up and focus on walking.


    Heuk, whoo


    By the way, this body must have had its lungs damaged.


    Ive awakened my magic power, but Im out of breath from running? I gasped and ran after a neighbor.


    Then, the ce where we finally stopped was


    Wow~ its so big. Is that really a B-ss monster?


    Everyone, step back!


    Hello~ YTube people! Todays live broadcast is!


    Damn it!


    This human wasnt evacuated!


    <i>I couldnt run fast, so I was forced to do it and chose the slowest person</i>


    I guess I chose the wrong person to follow. This was not a shelter, but a gathering of people who came to watch something unconcernedly.


    Step back!


    In the distance, I can see the main character of the disaster warning.


    First of all, a reptile three times asrge as the Beginner Killer is rampaging and destroying the city park


    Oh.


    At the same time, there are movements of hunters trying to stop this.


    <i>Huh? Wait, I think one person looks familiar?</i>


    While I was watching the hunters in action, I noticed a familiar face.


    That hairstyle stands out even when I see it from afar. As expected, isnt that the same hunter?


    <i>Thats the primitive magic used by Earths hunters. But because its far away, I cant see it very well</i>


    I snuck through the crowd to see the fight up close.


    Of course, I didnt cross the police line.


    <i>Now I know what this yellow tape means.</i>


    Since I learned about Earths off-limits culture, there shouldnt be any problem. That was the moment I thought.


    Oh,e on! Lets pass by~


    <i>Puk.</i>


    Someone squeezed in front of the line. At the same time, he pushed me, who was standing nearby.


    Ugh!


    My weak body couldnt withstand even this minor shock


    Soon, there was a smallmotion.


    This side broke down part of the police control line and fell forward.


    Ah! Im sorry!


    I apologized to the police as I hurriedly put up the fallen pir. And then I looked back.


    The purpose was to determine the cause of the shock.


    <i>Is it this guy?</i>


    However, the image of the culprit who caused the ident was quite different from what was imagined. I thought there was a pig with muscles three times bigger than Kiryeo.


    The person standing behind me was just a man with a body typemonly seen on the streets.


    He knocked me down with those thin arms? This is ridiculous.


    <i>Ive never seen such humiliation before. Ive never been hurt in my hometown because Ive been wearing double or triple protective magic.</i>


    I almost burst into tears when I realized my pitiful situation. But then, a harsh voice came from the man who had pushed me.


    I didnt even push that hard, but youre making a fuss!


    .


    What are you looking at when youre blocking the road? Youre ring at me. Are you picking a fight now?


    No, Ive never red.


    This was just a mindless observation of Earthlings, but it seems like there was a misunderstanding somewhere.


    The cheeky man nced at me andughed.


    Wow, thats scary, huh? Hey. I see youre being angry, but Im a hunter.


    He consistently looked down on me.


    I came here to investigate so I could refer to it while working. Im not the kind of person who just acts around thinking that if Im next to a monster, Ill awaken too~.


    Oh, so thats why there were so many ordinary onlookers?


    So rx your eyes. Anyway, even if I hit the non-awakened person, my hand will only hurt~


    The man who introduced himself as Hunter took out a tripod from his arms and began setting it up.


    Not only did he push me, but I also had a strange misunderstanding. I corrected the truth out of frustration.


    Im Hunter, too. I was here for the same reason as you.


    Hunter? What ss?


    F-ss.


    But the Hunter snorted at the conversation that followed.


    Ah, F-ss?


    I thought that if you werent at the gate at a time like this and were watching other peoples fights, you would either be unemployed or a low-level hunter.


    Dont tell me the lowest F-ss.


    Isnt there a perception in Korea that if you push someone else, you have to apologize?


    The manpletely ignored the words that followed and focused on his work. I was downcast for a moment.


    <i>Even though I know about Earths culture, I still dont know.</i>


    It was that moment.


    There was a loud noise in the distance that made my heart sink.


    This was the sound of a giant lizard walking around the city falling, and then the people around it shouted.


    Whoa! I caught it!


    I should post it on social media.


    Look over there! Hunters areing this way! Can I get your autograph?


    As they said, hunters wereing in the direction of this border.


    To be more precise, it looks like one hunter suddenly runs, and the rest, who dont know whats going on, follow.


    Its Ahn Yoonseung! Ahn Yoonseung! I only saw him on TV. Wow.


    This young friend is amazing.


    Dear subscribers! Can you see it? This is an A-ss Hunter Ahn Yoonseung!


    Recently, I found out something through a search.


    In the world, A-ss Hunters are elites who belong to the top 3% of awakened people. In fact, it is the ss that contributes the most to city safety.


    It is said that these high-level hunters are the peoples idols.


    So people responded enthusiastically towards a hunter running towards them.


    Whoa Ahn Yoonseung is so close


    And this good-for-nothing man also admires the A-ss Hunter.


    He fixed the camera lens on Ahn Yoonseung as if he were possessed. But Ahn Yoonseung ignores the police and keeps runningbut why is he getting closer and closer to here?


    Huh?


    Around that time the man made a dumb noise.


    Ahn Yoonseung, who finally arrived at his destination, stopped in front of the onlookers and gasped for breath and said this.


    H, h, h! Hello!


    Immediately afterwards, he grabs my hand outside the boundary line with both hands.


    Youre that person, right? That person! To see you in a ce like this! I really lived thanks to you at that time! Ah, thats right. I dont know if you remember, but who I am is You helped me at the gate the other day.


    I remember.


    Thank you so much, Hyung!


    A young man who is the nations idol bows tly in front of someone with his back bent to 90 degrees!


    People around him looked at this situation as if they were surprised, but Ahn Yoonseung paid no attention and spoke rapidly.


    So you were still in Mapo! But whats going on here Ah, I guess its because of the dungeon break. Well, theres no way someone like Hyung-nim wont show up. But its okay now. I organized everything


    But after a while.


    Ahn Yoonseung suddenly stopped talking. Then he nced back at the man standing next to me.


    The cameraman with whom I had just had an argument was staring at me because of what had just happened


    Ahn Yoonseung noticed that someone kept ncing in my direction, so he briefly asked if he was mistaken.


    Is this your group?


    But theres something I didnt mention.


    I didnt know about it until now because he didnt look well thest time I saw him due to an injury.


    But this is what Ahn Yoonseung looks like when we meet him again.


    A skinhead shaved short enough to look green.


    Spectacr scratch.


    Dusky eye area.


    And a silver piercing located on his left nostril


    To be honest, if only Ahn Yoonseung would stop talking.


    Yes?


    He had an impression that would make even robbers roll their eyes.
