Chapter 8: (2): Season 1 Preparation


    Thump!


    The orcs attack hit the ground awkwardly. Although it was winter and the ground was quite hard, a small pit was created. The orc raised the wooden club again. This time, he saw Jun-hwans back figure, hobbling to join the party. The orc moved with angry footsteps. Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Although he was not very familiar with bipedal lotion, he was still faster than Jun-hwan, who was limping on his legs. At the moment when he was about to swing his wooden club toward Jun-hwans back of the head, Jong-won intervened.


    Swish!


    Bang!


    Jong-wons massive hammer shed against the orcs club. He swung it from bottom to top, putting his full weight behind the blow. Jong-won felt a tingling pain in his wrist.


    This guy is no joke.


    Pushed by Jong-wons strength, the orc, who had just been striking a triumphant pose, stumbled backward a few steps, unable to regain his bnce.


    Kroooaaar!


    The orcs gaze fixed on Jong-won. He had sessfully aggroed him.


    Damn it. We need someone who can take his attack.


    Thanks to Jong-wons attack, the orc was nowpletely exposed and vulnerable. If there had been another real yer present, they could have dealt a significant blow. Not those useless fools who were too scared to even get close.


    Jong-won shouted furiously, Youre no help, so get out of here!


    The three of them flinched at Jong-wons momentum. Even though they knew they couldnt win, they couldnt understand why he was still fighting. Hajongwon was furious.


    We cant even run away because of you! run away, you stupid bastards!


    But, but


    No buts Argh!


    The orc didnt wait for Jong-won to finish his sentence. He swung his club at him. Jong-won raised his hammer horizontally to block the attack. Tingling pain ran through his wrist, shoulder, waist, and knee.


    Damn it! You damn bastards! Cant you hear me? Run!


    Despite the unbearable pain in his shoulder, Jong-won yelled, and the three of them started running away.


    At least his attack pattern is simple. Thats the only good thing.


    If the orc had performed an erratic attack, he would have been taken down mercilessly. He wasnt abat yer specialized in quick movements. He was a yer who aimed for a big blow while waiting for an opportunity. Although it would have been easier if Lee Chae-rim had intervened and given him some help, he didnt really expect much from her. Of course, Lee Chae-rim was fast, but her stamina was too weak. Even allowing one hit from this clubs attack could be fatal.


    If it were me I could take a few hits. Wait for the timing and run away


    Jong-won, who was waiting for the timing to block the orcs attack and escape, stopped his body. And then,


    Ah, ahhhh! Sh*t!


    He screamed. It was because the orcs body leaned towards him. He looked about 1 meter 50 cm tall and his appearance was extremely ugly and the foul odor was so repulsive. Fortunately, beforepletely overwhelming Jong-won, the orcs body disappeared, leaving behind a green magic stone and an item called an orc leather.


    Whats going on?


    Behind the orcs body, Hyun-seok smiled with a nonchnt expression, as if he didnt know either.


    Hyun-seok was also honestly surprised. He moved under the calction that if he could create a gap for Jong-won, who seemed to be struggling quite a bit and with no idea when the IUET guild members woulde, he could somehow escape. He quietly went behind and grabbed the orcs waist with his left arm and struck it with all his might with his right wrist. It was like hitting a punch machine.


    [First time hunting a low-level monster Orc.]


    [Easy achievement recognized.]


    [Bonus stat of 1 given.]


    [Acquired the title Orc yer. Strength stat increases by 1.]


    As if the shield was breaking apart without any chance, the waist of the orc was broken grotesquely, and then the H/P bar became 0.


    What is this


    Lee Chae-rim, who was cursing inwardly at Hyun-seoks reckless behavior, opened her eyes wide. She didnt even notice the rapier falling to the ground. She asked Bu-reum and Beom-su next to her.


    W-what, what just happened?


    However, Bu-reum and Beom-su couldnt understand what was going on either. Even Hyun-seoks younger brother Min-seo couldnt understand the current situation. Beom-su stuttered.


    D-did we just kill that monster in one hit?


    Y-yeah. If our eyes didnt deceive us, we definitely did.


    Bu-reum and Beom-su gulped. Lee Chae-rim trembled all over.


    I thought it was just a blowhard


    To be honest, she had thought little of Hyun-seok from the beginning. But she didnt know he had such an absurd ability. Whats even more absurd is that the person himself seemed to be unaware that he had such power.


    Jong-won was also equally stunned.


    What was that, you?


    Well, I didnt expect it either, but I killed it in one hit.


    Isnt it because the matzah was too weakpared to this guys attack power? No, wait I saw the little guys punches earlier Its no joke how bouncy he is.


    So I was worried too. But luckily, Im not hurt.


    No. Thats not what I meant.


    Above all, it was Min-seo who was surprised. She approached Hyun-seok.


    Min-seo. So, youre saying that Oppa was a yer?


    Thats right I didnt n on telling you, though.


    He works at KEPCO, and he earns quite a bit of money from his part-time job as a trantor. He lives afortable and peaceful life with a stable source of ie. He didnt want to live as a yer, so he didnt reveal it.


    Why did you hide it from me?


    Well, its not like I intentionally hid it


    Min-seo stared at Hyun-seok for about 5 seconds before smiling brightly.


    Of course, Oppa. Theres nothing you cant do. Its a bit unfair that you kept it a secret from me, though.


    At that moment, the IUET guild members rushed in. The eyes of the deputy leader of IUET, Park Sung-hyung, widened. He looked very anxious.


    Whats going on? Jong-won, show me that.


    This? I was going to show it to you anyway


    Park Sung-hyung took the mana stone from Jong-wons hand without waiting for an exnation.


    Its a new type of mana stone.


    After that day, the world became noisy once again, starting from Korea. A new type of monster, not in animal form, began to appear. These monsters dropped a different type of mana stone from the existing ones, which emitted green light and came to be called greens tones.


    And with the emergence of greenstones, the world began to change more rapidly.
