Chapter 9
Seora looked at the crack that was slowly starting to come together.
The color that started to come out faintly was blue.
It was an ordinary dungeon.
[Gate is created. Please be prepared for danger.]
[Gate creation is complete…]
[An error occurred. Gate creation is paused. The system administrator is interfering with the gate.]
[Interference complete.]
[Gate creation is complete. The system administrator is currently controlling the mana of the gate.]
“Wow, it’s true.”
Even though the gate was clearly in front of her, she didn’t feel any magic power. If even an S-class couldn’t sense it, of course, it couldn’t be caught by the machine that detects mana waves.
Now this gate was hers alone.
“Awesome, Administrator-nim!”
[Administrator: (*′?`人)]
“As expected, Administrator-nim is the best!”
[Administrator: //(*′∪`)]
‘Look how shy you are. How cute.’
It’s so trivial that it’s cute…
“Cough, cough.”
Seora quickly erased the blasphemous thoughts before the narrow-minded administrator noticed.
“Now, shall we go in?”
[Administrator: ?:*三( o’ω’)o]
“Right. The items that come out of the dungeon are all mine…!”
Ehehehe. Her mouth was wide open. She had gotten a lot of items from the Werewolf’s Habitat last time. She couldn’t believe she was going to have an item party again!
‘These are all lumps of money.’
Seora, who had wiped away the saliva that was about to overflow unconsciously, grabbed her weapon again and crossed the gate.
[The Awakened ‘Yoon Seora’ has entered the Level 4 dungeon ‘The Footsteps of the Land Giant’.]
“A Level 4. Maybe it’s not enough to test the weapons.”
Disappointment crept across Seora’s face. She had killed the Level 3 dungeon’s Boss Monster with one shot, how easy would it be for a Level 4’s monsters? She felt sorry for them.
“… Wow. I must have really become an S-class.”
Seora, who had been grumbling with a weapon draped over her shoulder, was startled when she realized the words she had uttered.
It was only a few days ago that she was thrown into a Level 3 dungeon and prepared to die.
Unbeknownst to her, her body had completely adapted to the rise of her status.
“As expected, humans are animals of adaptation.”
[Administrator: ~(???)~]
Look. Before I know it, I’ve started taking the strange administrator’s emoticons naturally.
“I’m in the middle of nowhere.”
Under the gray sky, without a single grass or even a tree, was a vast rocky area.
As Seora’s energy spread, stones and rocks scattered everywhere began to shake. They were all monsters made out of soil that lived parasitic in the habitats of land giants.
“Let’s start with Hit first.”
It just so happened that there was a good spot next to her.
Seora quickly climbed up to a slightly higher ground where the term “mound” would be more appropriate to describe it rather than “cliff”. As her grade went up, her overall physical ability had also increased, so she moved very quickly.
‘I’ll have to check how fast I can move.’
Now that the use of weapons was the priority, she lay down on her stomach. After all, snipers were best at shooting from high places.
“Good view.”
She grabbed Hit which had turned into a sniper rifle in an instant and aimed at the monsters running toward her.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
When the trigger was pulled, the immense magic power contained in the body turned into a bullet and flew through the air.
For each bullet that exploded, a piece of stone flew into the air. Sometimes, severals were pierced and dropped at the same time with a single bullet.
Although she had felt it in the Werewolf’s Habitat, the EX-class weapon with the administrator’s protection was bringing out her ability, which had been greatly upgraded, to the fullest.
They said artisans didn’t choose their brushes. But this must be what it meant to have a good brush.
“Now I can see why it made such a fuss when I almost picked up an S-class gun.”
This time, Seora, who had pierced the head of a bigger monster, laughed quietly.
The S-class weapon that Seora picked today was not a gun. This is because when she was about to pick a gun, the administrator had fiercely sent her emoticons to oppose it.
Do you think that’s all? Afterward, the administrator had forcibly opened her inventory and pointed at Hit.
If she had grabbed another gun, the narrow-minded administrator would’ve dropped the EX-class weapon right before Hanna’s eyes.
But now I can clearly understand why.
‘Now that I know the taste of EX-class firearm, how can I be satisfied with something like an S-class?’
Each time the trigger was pulled, Seora’s lips were filled with a deep smile at the thrilling sensation that spread.
Ah, I don’t think I can go back to the days when I didn’t really use guns. Now that I know this feeling, how can I give it up?
A shooter is completed with a gun.
“Ah…!”
At that moment, the hard mound on which Seora was laying began to shake. Once she grabbed her weapons, she quickly retreated and lowered her body. She was going to wait for the vibration to subside, but instead, it was getting worse.
“Huh? Could this be…”
[Administrator: ?(??д??)??]
Looking at the loud emoticons, the administrator seemed to have the same opinion.
“Is this mound a monster?!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the ground she was standing on began to soar to a great height. What used to be a mound had a head, followed by a body, and then limbs.
It was a Land Giant who was a resident of this dungeon.
“Hiya, and it’s not just one or two.”
All of a sudden, all the high ground around her had turned into giants. Their red eyes all looked straight at the little Seora.
“It’s spectacular from this angle.”
Everything here was waiting for her death.
Still, instead of being afraid, she felt a sense of exaltation. Even in the face of things that might kill her, she was relaxed.
Oh, the moment when I realized for sure that I had changed was not a change in grade or figure, but a time like this.
My whole body instinctively knows. That those monsters can’t hurt me in the slightest.
“Then the player must win.”
There was absolutely no reason to be afraid, so she moved right away. She slipped Hit that had turned into a pistol into the waist of her pants and grabbed her new weapon instead.
Kyaa. This perfect grip that sticks to the palm of your hand. The feeling is amazing, really.
“Well, then…”
With a grin, Seora swung her blunt weapon toward the head of the giant next to her.
She could kill a monster with her single bullet, but how many hits would it take to explode the giant’s head with her S-class weapon?
The answer is once.
Smack! Kwang! The stone head was completely shattered, and pieces of stone flew into the air.
As the giant’s body wobbled to and fro in the midst of a hailstorm of stone shards, Seora hurled her body and swung her weapon again. Kwaaang! With a louder roar, the giant’s body completely collapsed.
Meanwhile, Seora landed safely on the ground without any disturbance.
“Wow, I have a great sense of balance.”
High-level Hunters always jumped between buildings, jumped over rooftops, and flew in the sky, so she had always wondered how that was possible.
But now she knew. That their physical abilities were really good enough to do that.
“Oh, it’s exciting. It’s really exciting. Even better because the weapon is good.”
Seora looked at the weapon she was holding with twinkling eyes.
A handle that provided a perfect grip, a decent length, and a rounded part with sharp thorns that shattered even stones with one blow.
Truly a brilliant mace.
[Administrator: (｀- ε – ′ )]
“What? Why is your expression like that?”
[Administrator: ?`ε ′?]
“Are you upset?”
Seeing no reply came back, it seemed that it was really upset.
But I didn’t do anything. All I said was that it feels very good in my hands. So why—
Oh.
“Cough. Hmm! Still, Hit is the best. It’s a precious EX-class weapon that the administrator gave me directly to protect me. This mace is just a secondary weapon, a secondary weapon.”
Seora roughly shook the mace she was holding. Then she touched the pistol she had stuck in her pants with a distinctly different careful touch as if letting others know that this is more important.
[Administrator: (*` н ′*)]
That’s a relief. It’s not completely resolved, but I think it’s feeling a little better.
I see. The administrator can be soothed like dealing with a child. Alright, I got it.
“Okay then, let’s take care of the rest.”
As she came in to try out her new weapon, Seora did not let go of the mace. However, it was a little difficult to kill all the giants with this short weapon.
What do you need at times like this?
The S-class weapon’s secondary ability.
Seora cut the palm of her hand using the thorn on the mace and sprayed the blood that flowed over it. The mace, which was black, shone red for a moment.
[Weapon Information]
Name: Red Mace (S-class)
Type: Mace
Unique Characteristic: A cursed mace that desires blood. The more blood it drinks, the more destructive it gets.
Secondary Ability: If it contains the blood of the Awakened recognized as the master, it will be converted into a whip for a certain period of time. The stronger the master’s power, the more freely it moves.
Song Hanna hadn’t said much when she had chosen this. The secondary ability was pretty good, but it was meaningless to F-class Seora, who couldn’t even use a D-class gun properly. Hanna must have thought that she had picked a good one to swing, as she had little mana.
But of course not. Seora had also taken a close look at the secondary abilities. Since she had a sniper trait, it would be good to have at least one secondary weapon capable of wide-area attacks.
Seora grabbed her mace, soaked in her own blood, and swung it vigorously at the giant running towards her.
The mace, which had sucked up a lot of S-class concentrated magic power contained in her blood, was instantly transformed into a whip of thorns of enormous length, and cut the giant from the head as it was.
Kwaaang! The whole earth began to dance violently as if an earthquake had occurred by the whip that had been swung to the floor. Thanks to that, the giants could not come any closer and stumbled to and fro.
“Oh, this is great!”
Standing facing such giants, this time she swung her whip sideways. The power of an S-class Hunter under the protection of the administrator was exerted to the extreme, and several stone giants were cut in half in an instant.
Oh, what do I do? Seriously, I’m so strong.
Power, speed, everything had changed from before. She felt so giddy at her superior physical ability
Standing in a barren field of dust and stones, Seora ran like crazy with a lively smile.
Without knowing that all the monsters in the dungeon, including the Land Giants, were terrified, she was genuinely happy.
It was a sight as if a demon had truly descended on the dungeon.
***
The happy memories in the dungeon continued until she went to work the next day.
I can’t believe I don’t have a hard time going to work. The taste of all those items is so good.
“Yoon Seora, you look very happy.”
Oops. It looks like she was smiling again.
Seora, who hastily shut her mouth, stared at the person next to her. Gong Haeyeon, a fellow teammate and friend, was looking at her as if finding her ridiculous.
“Did something good happen to you that makes your face all warm?”
“There’s no way something good could have happened after going through something big not too long ago.”
“Your lips are all dry. If you’re going to lie, you should wet your lips first with saliva!”
Gong Haeyeon continued to make trouble, but Seora did not open her mouth until the end. Yes, she was her trusted friend, but that didn’t mean she could tell that she had monopolized all the items from a Level 4 dungeon alone.
‘She’d be very salty.’
Since the Land Giant was of rock attribute, it was optimized for making equipment for tankers. That means they would be worth a lot.
Her heart fluttered already at the thought of the bank account balance that would soon be filled, and Seora had to take deep breaths several times throughout the night.
“You have eyes full of greed. Come on, tell the truth!”
‘Ah, what a quick-witted person.’
Cough, it seems that it is very obvious that I have fallen into the defilements of the world.
Seora hurriedly covered her eyes which were overflowing with desire.
