Level 1 Player

Chapter 7 first hunt

Nothing good can come out of the lowest level dungeon.

Manastones also come out like beans in drought, and the corpse of the Horned Rabbit, a haunting monster, is useless.

In the Horned Rabbit Dungeon, it was impossible to earn 200,000 won per hour no matter how hard you hunt.

Nevertheless, it was always crowded with novice players.

There are two reasons.

The first is that the level of monsters is low, so it is suitable as a first hunting target for novice players.

The second is that, in case of emergencies in the country that operates the dungeon, security personnel are placed in the dungeon used by low-level players who do not have a job because they cannot change jobs.

Novice players can safely gain practical experience without risking their lives.

What could be a better hunting ground than this?

As for the game, it’s like a tutorial mode.

That’s why most of the novice players didn’t even make money to find low-level dungeons.

Players can easily get a loan from a player-only bank as long as they have a player registration card.

Even at level 1, there was no need to worry about equipment and dungeon usage fees.

Isn’t there an old saying that if it’s a trauma, it eats cattle?

Hyunseong was the same.

Hyunseong took out a loan from a player-only bank teller to rent items and pay for dungeon usage.

If it’s a player, can you lend up to 100 million without asking?

So Hyunseong also borrowed a certain amount of money and rented equipment.

Of course, if I turned the skill book into cash, I was thinking of paying it back right away.

‘I wish it sold a little more.’

Hyunseong looked at the sales window, which has remained the same without change, and was saddened.

If the sold-out march continued like on the first day, the points would have gathered quickly, and it would have been possible to raise the purchase rating and purchase the elixir in an instant.

However, the electronic products Hyunseong posted did not sell well.

Only two were sold in three weeks.

Compared to the one that sold out as soon as it was posted on the first day, it was a shabby result.

‘Well, it’s over 100 million points, so who’s going to buy in bulk? Unless it’s the case with guest customers and department store customers… … .’

Those two were the biggest hands for Hyunseong.

It was thanks to these two customers that Hyunseong recovered his points.

‘They are like angels.’

Hyunseong completely forgot the days when he called them Jinsang.

It was simply sending infinite gratitude and praise to Guest and Baekhwa, the largest of the customers.

Guest and Baekhwa were not grateful for simply buying their items at a high price.

Their existence became the standard for setting Hyunseong’s business policy.

Thanks to those two, Hyunseong learned about the influence of VVIP customers.

‘The policy of selling at a high price is the best than peeling off.’

Only 10 items can be registered for Hyunseong’s unique ability ‘Sell’.

I want to do a lot of peeling, but I can’t do a lot of peeling.

Well, even if it was possible, Hyunseong would have maintained its high-priced sales policy.

It was because it was a business that had more leftovers than selling dozens of items by lowering the price.

There is only one reason why Hyunseong can do that.

Because he has no competitors.

There were no items with modern science and technology in the purchase window.

monopoly.

There is no word more terrifying than this.

Hyunseong intends to continue the high-price sales policy of luxury brands.

He said sales were low.

However, if one item is sold, a whopping 100 million points will come in.What if an electronic device is sold?

Portable chargers and batteries are sold automatically.

‘It’s said that they sell about one every ten days, but there’s nothing wrong with that.’

It is a mountain that collects dust.

If you collect points like this, you can cure your father.

“We are looking for a tank to party with! I will treat you the best!”

“I’m looking for a healer to party with! We pay instead of dungeon usage fee! Absolutely guaranteed safety! If you come, we will leave immediately!”

The entrance to the dungeon was like a market floor.

Even the lowest level horned rabbit dungeon is not safe.

Although the risk of death is low, accidents with broken bones and torn flesh are common.

If you are unlucky enough to be struck by lightning in the dry sky, you may die.

Naturally, for safety, we are looking for a tank with good defense and provocation skills or a healer who can heal injuries.

‘Well, the problem is that tanks and healers are rare.’

The percentage of dealers among players is overwhelmingly high.

On the other hand, there are few tanks and healers.

Of course, the price is bound to go up.

‘If it’s me, I can go to a party lightly, but you don’t have to.’

Hyunseong is an all-around player who is learning close and long-distance skills, including tank skills and healer skills.

He can enter the party in any position he wants.

However, today’s purpose is to hunt a horned rabbit and pretend to have obtained the skill book, the craftsman of the skill, through hunting.

He didn’t want to get into a party and get into trouble with ownership.

“Here you go.”

Hyunseong presented his player registration card.

Beep!

The dungeon entrance guard scanned the barcode.

The dungeon usage fee is to be paid in arrears.

It is a system that automatically shows the hunting time by scanning the barcode once when entering and once when exiting.

“Are there any other party members?”

I asked with a puzzled expression from the dungeon entrance manager.

“Yes.”

Hyunseong answered briefly.

A male manager who appears to be in his mid-40s looked at Hyunseong with a pitiful look.

Though he didn’t say a word, the thoughts were all over his face.

‘You would think of me as a reckless person going into a dungeon alone.’

Even high-level solo hunting is extremely rare.

Monster hunting is unconditional party hunting.

That is the essence.

Reality is not a game.

If you do, you can die and suffer life-long injuries.

Naturally, sharing the risk and finding a companion to help with safe hunting was the top priority.

Monsters are stronger than players.

Sometimes there are groups.

Even when hunting monsters of a similar level, it is normal to form a party of 5 to 9 people to hunt.

However, this did not apply to Hyunseong.

Hyunseong’s stats are at a level that can only be achieved when he is at level 40-50.

A level 40-50 player enters a level 1-5 hunting ground?

Even if you want to be dangerous, you cannot be dangerous.

It didn’t matter if the monsters were grouped together by dozens.

It was the same logic that even if dozens of dogs gather in one day, it is impossible to deal with one tiger.The male manager did not bother to stop Hyunseong like that.

He gave permission to enter the dungeon without stopping.

Because he trusted the security guards inside the dungeon.

‘Once you have suffered to death, you will come to your senses.’

I will not do such a reckless thing in the future when I am in danger of dying and have to be taken out by the security guards.

Hyunseong ignored the pathetic gaze of the male manager and headed for the dungeon.

The entrance to the dungeon was completely sealed and could be moved in and out through a small side door.

How to clear the dungeon is still unknown.

For now, it was best to periodically clean the monsters inside the dungeon to prevent monster waves from occurring.

The reason that the government places players who have completed their first job change in these lowest level dungeons is to prevent monster waves by periodically cleaning the dungeons, although it is also safe for novice players.

Shoo!

Hyunseong flew towards the dimension gate in front of the side door.

“Wow!”

An exclamation came out of nowhere.

Fresh air and an atmosphere containing high purity magical power welcomed Hyunseong.

The dungeon was completely dark.

A soft light was emitted from the dungeon wall, but visibility was not secured properly.

‘It’s like a cave.’

All dungeons have different internal structures.

Some places were as bright as the day, others as dark as the night.

Also, there were dungeons made of swamps, and there were dungeons made of forests.

The horn rabbit dungeon that Hyunseong visited was a cave type.

The ground was hard, but it felt dark and humid.

The entrance was quite wide, but the way to the center of the dungeon consisted of several kinds of forks.

If it wasn’t for the torches that the security guards had lit in front of the dimensional gate, it would have been difficult to tell even 10 meters ahead.

‘This is the dungeon.’

I saw players fighting a monster near the dimension gate.

Players wielding primitive weapons such as shields, spears and swords were fighting a giant rabbit over 2 meters tall with sharp horns on their foreheads.

‘That’s not a rabbit, it’s a beast, a beast.’

Hyunseong opened his mouth wide at the sight of a monster he had witnessed in real life for the first time in his life.

The horns on his forehead were also horns, but his teeth and claws were unusually sharp in the theme of rabbits.

Enough to tear apart the fragile bones and flesh of a human being.

Hyunseong decided to watch the other players hunt.

Doo doo doo!

A horn rabbit caught in the tank’s taunt skill ran at great speed and collided with a tank in the player’s party.

Aww!

The tanker’s body was pushed back with a loud noise.

Although it was quite expensive, the shield was intact.

However, the tank’s two arms that supported the shield didn’t seem to be working properly.

“Aww!”

With a loud scream, the tanker missed the shield.

absurd mistake.

But it was common here.

The lowest level dungeons hunted by beginner level 1-5 players.

Virtually all of the players here were newbies among beginners.

Although they have been educated for three weeks at the Player Academy, these are ordinary people who not long ago went to school or worked and led a normal life.

It was close to impossible for them to perfectly hunt without making a single mistake against a ferocious monster.

Another tank quickly drew aggro with a taunt skill.Meanwhile, the healers gave the wounded tank a heel.

The tank, who had recovered from his wounds, picked up the shield again.

Two tanks attracted the attention of the horned rabbit by using provocation skills.

In the meantime, the three dealers holding the spear launched a series of attacks.

‘It takes quite a while.’

I thought it was the lowest level dungeon.

but was never satisfied.

The player party that Hyunseong was watching managed to catch a horned rabbit after an eight-minute bloody battle.

I turned around and looked at the other party.

was roughly the same.

It took about 3 minutes at the earliest and 8 minutes at the longest to catch a horned rabbit.

‘Why don’t you go out?’

Hyunseong’s gaze turned to the security guards.

They were reading comics or chatting.

I even saw a guy playing a board game.

He didn’t even turn his attention to any screams.

‘I don’t think the party will move unless it is destroyed.’

The security guards didn’t even pay attention to the novice players, whether they had broken bones or ripped flesh.

It was at the level that I just let it go, thinking that it would take care of itself.

‘I need to go a little deeper first.’

Hyunseong’s level is 1.

However, his actual stats are comparable to those of level 40-50 players.

‘This is enough.’

Only level 1 dungeon.

He was confident enough to hunt alone as many as horned rabbits.

No, there was nothing dangerous about making a mistake.

‘Stealth.’

Hyunseong activated the active skill.

He was confident that he would win even if he confronted him head-on, but he was as careful as possible as it was his first hunt.

Stealth was not as effective as it was a normal level skill.

However, thanks to the dark dungeon environment, he could easily melt into the darkness.

Hyunseong moved to the depths of the dungeon.

A place where there are no novice players and no government-hired security guards.

A dimension gate located in the depths of the Horned Rabbit Dungeon.

It was here that the shifts of security personnel had just taken place.

“You suffered.”

“Thank you.”

Ina-il Lee and Bo-woong Park, who were on the shift, bowed their heads to greet Lee Soo-hee and Kim Ji-soo, who were already on duty.

All four of them belonged to the same guild.

“Yeah, you’re suffering too.”

Lee Soo-hee, who has the highest position among the four, said with a sad expression.

“By the way, did you succeed today?”

“No, it’s nonsense.”

Lee Soo-hee answered Ina-il’s question with a frown on his face.

“If we come out while we are on duty, we will do whatever it takes to capture them alive.”

“Yes, we will definitely capture it.”

Ina-il Lee and Bo-woong Park boasted in their confident voices.

“Yeah, please do that.”

Lee Soo-hee answered with a helpless expression.

“Yes, don’t worry. Our skills are enough.”

“As soon as you come out, I will catch you.”

At the words of the two confident people, Lee Soo-hee’s face became sharp and contorted.

“Who knows that? It’s not a problem, right?”

“sorry.”

“I will do well in the future.”

In Lee Soo-hee’s nervousness, In-il and Park Bo-woong bowed their heads as if they had done something wrong.

As low-level guild members, they had no choice but to look at the guild’s executive, Lee Soo-hee.

The life of an ordinary person, a player, or an organization is hard.

“Be strong, sister. You should be able to catch it in a few days.”

With Kim Ji-soo’s comfort, Lee Soo-hee worked hard to win her heart.

She’s already been here for the full moon. She’s wasting her time here.

Lee Soo-hee is a high-level player with a 4th job change in front of her eyes.

The reason she entered this lowest level dungeon was for her job change.

1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th.

Advancement requirements are different for each player.

In some cases, she had to hunt hero-level named monsters, and in other cases, she had to hunt the lowest level monsters that were loathsome in the beginner zone.

In the case of Lee Soo-hee, the conditions for her 4th job change were fairly easy.

Boss Horned Rabbit Hunting.

The Horned Rabbit is the lowest level monster.

The boss is only level 5.

As soon as it appeared, I was confident that it would take my breath away within a second.

But this guy never showed up.

As time passed, Lee Soo-hee became more and more annoyed with her.

“Let’s go, Jisoo.”

“Yes, sister.”

As Jisoo Kim approached, Soohee Lee used her skill.

“The veil of darkness.”

With the skill cast, Lee Soo-hee and Kim Ji-soo’s appearances disappeared like a dream.

Curtain of Darkness was a hero-grade skill that hides the appearance, sound, and magic of oneself and the caster.

Thanks to this skill, Lee Soo-hee was able to rise to the position of an executive of a large guild at a young age in her mid-20s.

‘There’s no need to be sarcastic.’

The reason Lee Soo-hee cast her skill was to prevent a herd of troublesome horned rabbits that didn’t give any experience or magic stones from rushing to her.

Kim Ji-soo, who was returning with her, was a healer, so if the horned rabbits ran into her, she had to deal with it all by herself.

“Sister, did you hear that story?”

“What?”

“Ah, well, the 3rd team leader and the 2nd support team’s youngest are in the supply warehouse… … .”

Lee Soo-hee and Kim Ji-soo, who entered the curtain of darkness, casually crossed the horn rabbit dungeon, chatting.

Their voices were not so small.

However, the horned rabbits did not detect the presence of two people passing right by them.

“uh? Sister, isn’t that person over there?”

Kim Ji-soo, who had been talking about hot issues for a while, was startled and pointed the front with her finger.

“It’s human.”

Lee Soo-hee answered with an annoyed expression on her face.

‘You’re quick to notice.’

Lee Soo-hee was already aware of the presence of uninvited guests.

But she seemed to have missed Kim Ji-soo, so she tried to get over it.

‘Now I can’t just get over it.’”Wow! I think he came all the way here alone. Or have you lost a party member?”

Jisoo Kim tilted her head with a puzzled expression.

“I don’t think so. You don’t have a single wound on your body. They are also using stealth skills.”

“Ah, that’s right. Then why did you come all the way here alone?”

Jisoo Kim muttered with a questioning expression on her face.

“That’s it.”

Lee Soo-hee’s expression contorted into a mess.

‘Why are you alone?’

annoyance surged

No matter how low-level dungeons are, dungeons are dungeons.

‘Tori child.’

The visitor reflected in Lee Soo-hee’s eyes was wearing the cheapest weapon and armor.

Seeing that the weapons and armor had the mark of a player-only equipment rental company, he was a novice who did not have the money to purchase equipment.

‘Crazy.’

There must have been a guy who was like that.

There are a lot of monsters deep in the dungeon.

However, they would not approach it unless it was a party of decent talent.

Having a lot of monsters means that it is difficult to deal with them calmly, one by one.

If another horned rabbit accidentally reacts, the party may be ruined.

So, of course, the depths of the dungeon were quiet.

‘He’s greedy and stupid.’

If you come in as a party with a large number of people, I think it’s a talented party, and I would understand, but I came alone.

‘I think it’s an assassin class.’

It was obvious from the fact that he was using a stealth skill.

‘I’m going to die of boredom.’

That guy will definitely attack 1 Horned Rabbit by surprise.

The problem was that even if it was a surprise attack, a novice player could not cut the horn rabbit’s breath with such inexpensive rental equipment at once.

Naturally, the Horned Rabbit will counterattack, and that novice player will face the risk of death.

"Eww."

I felt like my stomach was going to explode.

‘It was good that there was no trouble.’

An annoying thing just happened.

‘As expected.’

A visitor secretly occupied the rear of the horned rabbit.

And he lowered his sword.

It seems that he used a skill as he could feel the subtle magic in the sword.

‘There’s no way a horned rabbit can die with just one shot.’

Even the lowest level monsters are monsters.

To kill the Horned Rabbit in one hit, you had to be around level 30.

Whoops!

Cheeky profit!

dump!

‘… … ?’

A question mark popped up in Lee Soo-hee’s mind.

‘what?’

The horned rabbit died in one blow.

* * *

‘Simple.’

Hyunseong muttered as he drew the sword that pierced the heart of the horned rabbit.But contrary to the words, Hyunseong’s body was trembling thinly.

He didn’t like the feel of cutting through the flesh and piercing the bones.

Even though he was a monster, his heart raced like crazy at the fact that he had killed a living being.

It was the first time I had personally killed any other creature except for insects such as flies and mosquitoes.

“I can’t help it. have to get used to it For my father, my mother and my sister.”

Hyunseong worked hard to correct his rough breathing and strengthened himself.

A thick bloody smell rushed through his nose, as if he was about to vomit.

But I persevered.

‘It’s crazy.’

There was no change in the body of the monster.

Manastones are created by condensing the remaining magic remaining on the monster’s corpse.

If you remain as a corpse without change, you cannot obtain Mana Stones.

In fact, he did not think that he would be able to obtain the Mana Stone at once.

This is because there are far more cases where the corpse of a monster remains as it is than when it turns into a magic stone.

‘Stealth.’

Hyunseong’s body seeped into the darkness again.

Then he approached the other horned rabbit.

‘The secret raid.’

And use the skill.

Whoops!

Kik!

dump!

The Horned Rabbit was also killed in one blow.

Hyunseong, who had been watching the horned rabbit’s carcass for a while, used the stealth skill again.

From then on, it was a breeze.

repetition of the same operation.

It was only that.

* * *

Lee Soo-hee’s mouth widened and opened.

It’s the first time I’ve seen a novice player hunting a horned rabbit so easily.

‘Aren’t you new?’

However, looking at the equipment, it was clearly a newcomer who had just awakened.

In addition, players with a level to kill a horned rabbit in one hit will not gain experience no matter how much they hunt a horned rabbit.

Level 20 rule.

If you hunt monsters with a higher level than yourself, you can get normal experience points, manastones, and items.

However, if you hunt monsters that are at least 20 levels lower than you, you cannot gain experience points.

Not only that.

As the level difference increases, the rate at which the remaining magical power of the monster’s corpse is converted into mana stones or items decreases, and if there is a level difference of 20, it does not change at all.

If you are not a newbie, there is no reason to pay an entrance fee of 200,000 won per hour to catch a horned rabbit.

Definitely the man’s words.

It was a very small mumble, but his words clearly reached Lee Soo-hee’s ears.

Can not help it.

You have to get used to it.

The word meant one thing.

‘That bastard, the first hunt is clear.’

curiosity arose.

“Sister, what is that person?”

Kim Ji-soo asked Lee Soo-hee with a curious expression.

“Well, I don’t know either.”“Sister, can’t we just watch over that person a little longer?”

“There is nothing that can’t be done.”

Lee Soo-hee was also very curious about the unknown man.

‘I have to leave the dungeon anyway, so there is nothing to do.’

Originally, I was going to go home, take a shower, and watch a drama or a variety show to get a good rest.

But now, in front of Lee Soo-hee, there is something more interesting to see than a drama or variety show.

* * *

Hyunseong was engrossed in the hunt, unaware that someone was watching him.

Hunting using stealth and stealth skills.

It was very quick and smooth.

There was no shortage of magical power.

Hyunseong’s magic stat and mental strength stat is a whopping 30.

Since only 2 normal grade skills are used, the mana consumed is restored by moving towards the next target, the Horned Rabbit.

‘The magic stones do come out.’

I also got a magic stone.

There were only 5 though.

‘But was it that hard to level up?’

Hyunseong looked at his status window with a puzzled expression.

Hyunseong’s level in his status window was still 1.

‘I have heard that it is very difficult, but it is not really easy.’

Hyunseong did solo hunting, not party hunting.

Simply put, it monopolized the experience points of one horned rabbit.

It took about 5 minutes for a party of about 9 people to take down the horned rabbit in almost 1 second.

But it was still level 1.

‘It would be nice to have experience points like a game.’

There was no such thing.

The awakening system window was similar to the game but different.

The part for the convenience of the player was quite lacking.

‘Still, I can finish it in an hour.’

After recovering his magical power, Hyunseong went hunting again.

An hour has passed.

Level is still 1.

Two hours have passed.

He opened the status window.

‘Something is strange… … .’

It was really weird.

Leveling up was difficult, but level 1 was an exception.

I heard that level 1 players usually level up after hunting for a day or two.

The number of horn rabbits Hyunseong hunted was enough to level up all party members.

But the level didn’t even budge.

At that moment, a hypothesis flashed through my mind.
