Episode 17
5 minutes later.
I faced an agent from the Hunter Association.
“Hunter. Nice to meet you. My name is Jeong Seong-hee.”
A man in his 30s with a neat appearance has a business card
pushed in.
［Hunter Association Security Department］
［Team Leader Seonghee Jeong］
［010-XXXX-XXXX］
While receiving the business card, my fingers lightly touched it.
I felt a considerable amount of magical power in the man’s body.
‘They said I was a member of the Association’s Security Department, but I was a hunter.’
Is this level A? Or is it class B? Anyway, he was quite a talented person.
“I’ve already heard from the other two.”
The man holding out his business card, Jeong Seong-hee, pointed behind him.
They were two hunters who had burned and eaten a kobold earlier, dispelling the chaos.
“If you listen to the testimony of the two people… In fact, Hunter Jeon Min-cheol solved the Gate Break incident alone.”
“Yes.”
“It’s so surprising. You received an E rank during the awakening test, and your awakening period didn’t last long.”
Jeong Seong-hee did not hide his surprise.
It was pure surprise, without any hint of doubt.
A sudden gate break incident occurred, which ended in damage to property and injuries to several fleeing civilians.
“If it weren’t for Hunter Jeon Min-cheol’s performance today, a catastrophe would have occurred. Thank you.”
Jeong Seong-hee bent her waist and politely bowed.
The crab said hello.
It felt strange, but it didn’t feel bad.
After one thank you, the conversation with the association officials did not last long.
There were two points conveyed by the association.
The first is financial compensation.
“Since you have solved the gate break, you will receive compensation at the association level.”
The amount that Jeong Seong-hee mentioned was 300 million.
Analyze the scale of the gate break and compensate in proportion to the expected scale of damage
Gold is set.
The second is handling the monster’s body.
“This is the first time the black gate and monster have occurred, so the association definitely wants to purchase the body.”
The rights to the monsters hunted belong to the hunter.
This is the general principle upon which the Hunter Association was established and is consistently followed.
I had already absorbed all the chaotic energy from the kobold and had no interest in the corpse.
“Wait. Let’s discuss this with the guild in charge.”
I pushed Ellie to do the work.
Anything that you don’t know or is bothersome should be handed over to an expert.
Ellie appeared on the scene within minutes of contacting us.
Ellie and Jeong Seong-hee go to a corner and have a conversation.
After a heated conversation for a few minutes, the two returned to where I was.
Looking at the facial expressions, it seems clear who is the winner and who is the loser.
“Uh, uhm. The association has kobold corpses.
“I decided to purchase them for 10 million won each.”
“Even without taxes.”
Ellie added right away.
For 10 million won per head.
Wait… how much does it all cost?
‘If you look at it roughly, it would be a billion.’
A total of 1.3 billion won, including the compensation and the proceeds from the sale of the body.
It was very good.
Perhaps because I had previously received 5 billion won as a down payment, I was not surprised even though it was a larger amount than I expected.
“It’s thanks to my hard work.”
Ellie smiled and spread her shoulders wide.
I admit it.
She is definitely a capable partner.
“Is everything done?”
“Yes. Once again, I would like to thank Hunter Mincheol for his excellent service.”
“Then let’s go.”
“Huh? Reporters are waiting to see Hunter right now.”
After the cataclysm occurred, society began to look for ‘heroes’ again.
Amazing performance by a hunter who has just awakened. This is great material to make into an article.
‘I hate trouble.’
Fame doesn’t provide food.
“That’s why I’m going.”

I waved my hand in annoyance.
Rice #:
Late at night.
I operated Seongcheon Jogye Gong from the rooftop.
A clear sky without a single cloud.
Soft starlight shone down on me.
“Hueup••••••
A shimmering note appears on the lips.
The energy of the stars is absorbed into the body through breathing.
The power of nebula that entered the lungs permeated into the world of imagination according to the teachings of Seongcheonjo Gye-gong.
In the Mu Continent, it is called Sangdanjeon.
place.
My reincarnated body is a weak human being, but the soul located in the upper chamber is the dimensional field of Pandemonium.
The microcosm built in the world of imagination is in no way inferior to the real universe in terms of mystery.
The power of the nebula that gradually settles down with each breath. My world of imagination also expanded and gained strength.
Wow-
The night passed and morning came.
Beyond the horizon.
As the sun slowly appears, it lifts the veil of night.
The star’s energy began to fade as it was pushed out by the polar positive energy.
“after “
With a brief expression of regret, he stopped the operation of Seongcheonjo Gyeonggong.
[Chaos power: 86.5 -> 87.3]
[Chaos: 1124.5 -> 1134.9]
[Seongcheon Jogyegong: 56% -> 63%]
When I looked at the status window, my lips twitched.
Abilities that increase every day.
Since I was actually feeling ‘getting stronger’, I felt better when I saw the numbers increase even more.
‘Chaos is increasing rapidly.’
My current level is 6.
All 25 stats gained by raising 5 levels were invested in chaos power.
There was also help from the Institute of Technology.
Walking elixir, defeat the black kobold and absorb the energy of chaos.
did.
As a result of absorbing the energy of chaos, the chaos power increased by more than 10.
My confusion power was 49 just a day ago.
Almost double the figure!
The amount of chaos that can be dealt with has nearly doubled.
I clenched my fists.
Chaotic energy flows through the blood vessels.
The powerful energy created by the collision of the forces of the light nebula and the dark nebula travels through the entire body.
‘The rise of Seongcheon Jogye Gong is slowly slowing down.’
At first, the chaos increased rapidly, but the growth rate is gradually slowing down.
Originally, martial arts became more difficult to learn as you progressed.
Seongcheonjogyegong is a new art that no one has been able to master because it is so difficult to understand among the numerous Buddhist temples kept in Demonicism.
Thanks to the fact that I learned up to 10 stars in my previous life, my skill level is increasing quickly.
The slowing rate of achievement increase needs to be compensated for by increasing chaos power with bonus stats.
‘There were some regrets.’
Battle against the horde.
Monsters that live in groups are difficult to deal with.
Although in my previous life, I was crushed by overwhelming force. It is a method that is not suitable for the body of today.
The human body is weak.
Although I tried to dodge it to a minimum.
A vessel that was not yet trained could not handle the chaos perfectly.
‘I want to receive the requested equipment quickly.’
Crash.
I stretched and relaxed my stiff body.
As I was walking to my room after doing some light stretching, a familiar person was waiting for me.
and his friend Ki-tae.
“What’s going on since the wee hours of the morning?”
“Hey. Mr…. Phew.”
Ki-tae made a complicated expression and suddenly sighed.
“Your mother contacted me. She asked me to go to the room to check if the child is alive or dead.”
“You can just call me. Why did you ask me to do that?”
“You’re not answering the phone.”
ah.
for a moment?
‘right. I changed my phone!’
A fact I had forgotten after hearing Ki-tae say.
I remembered.
The fact that I was receiving calls from various guilds, so I threw my existing cell phone in the corner and was using the phone given to me by the Interstellar Alliance.
There was no way my parents would know about my new contact information.
Ki-tae muttered in a low voice.
“They’re suddenly giving me a leave of absence notice. They’re not even answering my phone calls.”
Memories of a past life.
And awakening to become a hunter.
The values of my past life and my present life are mixed up.
I was so busy adjusting to the new environment that I didn’t have time to pay attention to the people around me.
“I’m sorry. I’ve been out of my mind lately.”
“Son. I’m not angry. You’ve become a celebrity, so you have to look good to get an autograph.”
“Celebrities?”
“Pretend you don’t know. This is you.”
Ki-tae held out his cell phone.
【The newly appeared hero, who is his identity?】
Provocative article title.
Below it was a large photo of a hunter holding a black weapon.
That’s… me, right?
My mouth opened wide.
I avoided the interview because I thought it would be a hassle. When was that photo taken?
“Your mom is very worried. Please contact me quickly.”
“Wait. Your mother saw this too?”
“Yes. He told me to go because he was worried about me after seeing the article.”
oh}.
I haven’t even told my parents that I’ve become a hunter yet.
I guess… I think it was X.
Gi-tae said he would have a drink later and sent him home.
I sent my friend and immediately called.
Turrrrr-.
Why does it feel so long for the phone to ring?
– hello?
A familiar voice.
It was my mother’s voice.
“Mom, this is Mincheol. I’m sorry I couldn’t contact you.”
-son. Don’t you have something to say to mom?
I was speechless for a moment.
A lot happened in a short period of time.
How should I say it? I couldn’t organize it easily in my head.
“…I became a hunter.”
-I saw the article. My son is so cool
He came. When I saw the photo, I immediately recognized whose son it was.
“I should have told you first, I’m sorry.”
A moment of silence.
What should I say?
‘It’s my fault.’
It’s an excuse not to contact me because I got a lot of calls on my cell phone.
Past life. As he awakened the memories of the fighter Deimos, he became neglected as he focused on ‘getting stronger’.
-son. Working as a hunter is dangerous
You won’t lose, right?
I’m crying, my heart is pounding.
The way you worry about my body before your disappointment.
My heart was pounding and my throat felt like there was something stuck in it, so I couldn’t respond.
After calming down my boiling heart for a moment, I was finally able to open my mouth.
“Mom, it’s absolutely not dangerous. You don’t have to worry.”
-Don’t do anything dangerous. Her mother is proud of her son but also worried.
It’s settled. It’s the main policy, right?
It’s a main strategy, but…
I could feel the ‘sincerity’ in the voice.
“I will never do anything dangerous.”
-okay. By the way, this is Shiki. Why aren’t you answering the phone?!
My mother suddenly screamed in a high tone.
He got very angry at me, yelling as if to relieve the frustration he had been holding in.
Why do I feel good even when I get criticized?
“Foot.”
– Jeon Min-cheol! Who told you to smile when your mom scolds you!
I also found this conversation enjoyable.
While we were talking for the first time in a long time, my mother shouted in a startled voice.
-Look at me! I forgot to add water to boil the stew.
“Father, it’s almost time to go to work.”
-I have a healthy body. Hunter activities are good, but health comes first.
“I understand. Once you get used to being a hunter, you can go home.”
I will definitely come down.”
-son. I was surprised to see it in an article, but the sight of him saving people was really cool. love you.
Tuk.
With those last words, the call was disconnected.
A call I never even thought about.
My mother’s last words left a deep impression.
‘I am a completely different person now than I was in my past life.’
Demons have no such thing as family affection.
Even between parents and children, they felt a stronger sense of belonging as members of the same race than the bond of blood.
My current life self, Jeon Min-cheol, was different.
He was a ‘human being’ who felt his parents’ love, was moved, and whose heart was moved.
I confirmed my identity once again.
‘It’s important to become strong, but I also have to protect my precious people.’
In my past life, becoming stronger was an absolute proposition.
Why you need to be strong in this life
It seems like there has been a
