Unwanted Opportunity (3)
Yoo Ji-eun died.
If the affection I had so far was an ugly one, it was an ugly one. But I didn’t think our relationship was bad. I really didn’t want to die like this.
I never thought that a hunter as good as Yoo Ji-eun would die like this.
He hurriedly stood up, leaving Yoo Ji-eun behind. I picked up Yoo Ji-eun’s sword.
Is the police officer we parted ways with earlier still alive? Did they find any other survivors? or not?
What other countries? Are they all similar to here? Or did he somehow survive there?
What do you know?
My nose is three feet wide. At least Korea was definitely ruined.
I thought back to Yoo Ji-eun’s last words.
you live
“How are you supposed to live here?”
Or was it just a hopeful statement that something would work out as long as I survived?
The Yoo Ji-eun I knew was a woman far from such hopeless hope.
Well, it is said that people do things they would not do when it is time to die. Yoo Ji-eun must have been human, as she died after saying something she didn’t say.
But unlike the dead Yoo Ji-eun, I, the living one, had to face reality.
A city burning black and white. People killed by monsters and burned to death.
“It’s like a dog, really… .”
He held Yu Ji-eun’s sword tightly, muttered a curse, and walked again. It didn’t seem like she had walked very far, but before she knew it, she had reached the Ability Management Office.
It was once the location of the Ability Management Office. A building that stood proudly. A few hunters worked together to renovate the park on the rooftop, so it looked quite nice.
But now there is nothing. On top of the broken building, there lay the corpse of a giant centipede, the owner of the pitch-black miasma.
The corpses of hunters are piled up around it. The body was burned, but familiar weapons were visible. These are hunters from the management office.
The general manager?
You can draw your weapon with your eyes closed. Although it looks rough, how can one forget the spear with delicate blue waves engraved on the blade?
I looked at the head’s dog tag, which I was holding in my hand in case I lost it.
This is something that the man always wears around his neck. And Yoo Ji-eun brought this. Instead of a corpse.
The man died without leaving a body behind.
“… “Even if a hunter is a job that leaves no body behind.”
It’s not like this.
I walked among the corpses.
I kept walking.
‘You live.’
If you’re going to say such irresponsible things, you should have told me how to live.
What now?
Keep looking for survivors?
What if we find survivors?
“… … .”
Are there any survivors in the first place?
f*ck.
“f*ck!!!”
I was so angry that I tried to throw the dog tag but stopped.
As I thought this was the last thing he left, my hand did not fall.
Instead, he swung Yoo Ji-eun’s sword. Yoo Ji-eun’s sword, which was picky because its owner had died, also responded to my magic.
Grumbling.
Flames spread out from the sword. The flame that blooms with my magic is blue, unlike the fire that is burning Seoul.
Because it did not properly contain magical power, the blue fire shimmered. The flame, shaking as if it would go out at any moment, managed to crawl across the ground and approach the corpse of a centipede-shaped monster.
A corpse with a broken leg, a crushed, and cut body. Poisonous fluids are still dripping from the body. If I stay here too long, I’ll get addicted to that poison.
under.
I still plan on living like this. Did Yoo Ji-eun say that because she knew I was like this?
“… what?”
However, such sentiments were short-lived as the blue flame that had no trace of light touched the body, and the centipede disappeared everywhere.
It’s not uncommon for monsters that pop out of dungeons to act without understanding, but… .
I looked at the scene blankly and ran towards an empty seat. There may be a body of the head of the headquarters. If it’s not a corpse, it’s at least a weapon. Even if it’s not a weapon, it’s something else. different. Even something else.
You are the strongest hunter in Korea. Does it make sense that the only thing that can commemorate such a person is a dog tag?
However, there was nothing where the body disappeared. There was only the remains of a building corroded by poison.
“… … ?”
No, there was nothing.
There was an item wrapped in white light.
“… Did it come from him?”
I didn’t pick it up in the dungeon, and I’ve never heard of monsters leaving behind items. Since it was a centipede, there is a high probability that it had something like an inner ring, but… .
This isn’t anything like that. If you really need to find something similar.
… clock?
It’s a watch. It’s also a desk electronic clock. The screen that was supposed to tell the time was pitch black.
After hesitating for a moment, I felt like I needed to check, so I approached this suspicious item. If it weren’t for this situation, I would never go near such a suspicious object.
[——- check. Implementation of authorization procedures.]
“what?!”

At that time, a dry voice came from the clock.
The black screen flickered and glowed.

The screen changes. Irregular numbers come to mind. Then it stopped.
[ 0 0 0 0 – 0 0 – 0 0 ]
The voice asked me.
[—will you do it?]
[ 0 0 0 0 – 0 0 – 0 0 ]
[Do you want to set it up?]
“… … .”
A blinking eight-digit number.
Usually, this notation is used to indicate dates.
[Do you want to set it up?]
I don’t worry about whether I need to know what to set or not.
[Do you want to set it up?]
It is a dry, pitchless voice that can easily be heard in artificial intelligence items.
After hesitating for a moment, I asked. If this were artificial intelligence, it would answer.
“What are you setting up?”

The voice suddenly broke off.
The blinking numbers also disappeared. As I looked in confusion at the item whose light had also disappeared, numbers appeared on the screen again.
[Restart]

What the hell, what the hell.
“hey. What.”
[Cannot be set]
“What can’t I set?”
[Restart]
The item ignored my words and repeatedly turned itself off and on again.
[ _ _ _ _ – _ _ – _ _ ]
[Do you want to run it?]
The words have changed.
Earlier, they said to set the date.
“You’re going to have to tell me what you’re doing.”
[Do you want to run it?]
“… … .”
It seems that the artificial intelligence performance is not good.
What if it has artificial intelligence? There is no proper explanation. After hesitating for a moment, I picked up the item. Nothing changed. There is nothing I can manipulate.
The clock just kept blinking.
Artificial intelligence items are dangerous. I’m not talking about the performance of the item.
There are items that are programmed to trick users. They say it’s rare, but if it happens to me, it’s 100% certain.
No matter how dark the situation is, I have no intention of doing what this suspicious item tells me to do…
Grumble.
The sound of an animal breathing can be heard from afar.
thud! thud! thud!
The ground shakes.
Gurgling… Rumbling. thud.
The remaining buildings are collapsing. The senses in my entire body become sharper.
Something appeared. Something is coming this way.
Something saw me.
The huge horns are seen first.
The horn was covered in bright red flames, and flames dripped from the horn every time it moved. The sparks that fell like that joined the fire that was burning Seoul. The fire becomes more intense.
In addition, the heterogeneous magical power felt from the surrounding fire increases.
It’s him. That guy is the guy who burned down Seoul. It’s not a centipede.
Kurrrr… .
Its towering head is covered with black scales. It is large enough to be seen clearly even though it is quite far away. Bright yellow eyes are looking straight at me.
The watch I was holding in my hand blinked rapidly.

I can’t hear what the item is talking about. He found me. It’s getting closer.
Kurrrrrr… .
Let’s think calmly.
There is no way to beat that.
“… … .”
I saw an item that was blinking and glowing. I predicted the possibility of survival.
Crumbling… . thud!
I hear the sound of an animal crying. The vibrations are getting worse. My hair stands on end.
“Can you run away from that guy?”
[??? danger? porridge? ????Ability]
“If you can run away, anything is fine, so run.”

A gust of magical power blows around the item. My magic is distorted to the point that I feel sick to my stomach.
“Khuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!”
And then he came.
[check ??? this?? award? Ryu????]
It’s like he can’t miss me. With flames. With the indelible smell of blood.
[???more? line?? failure??? Sublime?????? ? ????? Who is the savior???]
“What is it again?!”
An ominous beeping sound filled the room. The swirling magical power wrote bright red letters in the air.

“Krrr… .”
The guy is smiling. One toenail is bigger than my body. Its overall size is similar to that of a dead centipede. The head of the headquarters, Yoo Ji-eun, and other hunters died in killing that centipede.
Everyone died.
Now it’s just me.
[Restart]
The clock turned off and on again.
Should I run away now? Is it possible? All my senses are on edge. Once it sees me, it is impossible to escape.

Vision covered with ERROR text. Fire dripping down. Hot. Trembling vibration. A huge monster coming towards me.
That’s my last memory.
* * *
slap.
“… Seed!”
“… That guy! mister! “Come to your senses!”
slap. slap.
The first thing that came back was apperception.
Someone is hitting my face. which… What kind of bastard.
I want to pull away the hand that is slapping my cheek, but I don’t know where my arm is attached. Feels like floating in water. The clapping of my hands is annoying, and I think it would be okay to go back to sleep like this.
“mister!!”
“Oops!”
All sensation returned with a sharp pain. My eyes and ears were wide open.
“Uncle, are you okay?”
A girl with a worried face stuck her face out. She is wearing Hunter Academy’s school uniform. The school uniform before it was changed.
I quickly looked at the name tag attached to my chest. Yoo Hye-eun.
“I tried treatment, but you still shouldn’t move in a hurry.”
“… … .”
“Well, the situation is really bad right now, but you’re a hunter, right? “You’re a hunter, right?”
“… … .”
“I heard you were holding a knife… .”
“… … .”
“mister? are you okay?”
this… what.
I slowly looked around.
A few kids wearing old Hunter Academy uniforms, like a girl, are whispering. On the opposite wall, people with pale faces are huddled together and trembling.
It’s a messy office. There is a fallen monitor and computer body on the desk. It’s an extremely outdated model. Do you still use computers like that these days? I don’t know, but it’s not a proper company.
I blinked.
Seoul was burned. Korea is ruined. Maybe the whole world is ruined.
But what is the sunlight shining brightly from the window, and what are the kids wearing the old school uniforms of Hunter Academy?
“It’s strange, there were no visible wounds… . Man, can you hear me?
“… Do I look like an old man?”
“yes?”
why… Where are we?
