3 Rounds by Myself

28 – Faster than anyone else (1)

The next day, the loud sound of horses hooves is spreading through the middle of the square in the city of the beginning. , The guards with spears are busy moving.

“Didn’t you say Diehard disappeared in the meadows of Havana?”

“Rather than that, there was someone who helped him. He said he was a very strong guy.”

“What does he look like?”

“… He was wearing a strange hide, so I couldn’t see his features.”

“It can’t be a Hunter… …. Anyway, don’t let anyone enter the Havana Meadows! Hit the barricade and search all over the place!”

Hunters who have just entered the hunter life are looking at the scene with wonder.

“Something must have happened.”

“It wasn’t even a war, right?”

“Bussing… …. What a war! Hey, hey Let’s go catch squirrels.”

“Yeah, the guards are doing their job, and it’s time for us to grow up.”

Cha Cha Cha Chang! The sound of the armor of the guards running around the plaza spreads rhythmically.

Leaving behind the conversations of the guards who were thoroughly searching the city in the beginning,

Siwoon is walking in the middle of the plaza.

‘That sucks, very…’

It made sense.

With the breaking news that Dihart, a first-degree criminal, had appeared in the Havana grasslands, and the news that he had defeated all of the first group of guards and reconnaissance parties, it was only natural that the guards were frantic to find him.

In addition, it seemed that rumors had spread.

The fact that there was another man who helped Dihart escape.

‘If I do it wrong, I’ll get tired…’ . I’ll have to be careful.’

Siwoon, wearing a white uniform, had his greatsword stuck in the inventory window and didn’t even take it out.

There was a reason why Siwoon couldn’t take out his greatsword and carry it.

Yesterday, a group of security guards were completely destroyed in a struggle in the Havana Caves.

But not all the guards died on the spot.

Some of the guards who were still breathing were passed out in a moribund state, but were rescued by the backup guards who arrived later.

The guard told them everything about yesterday.

Dihart was hiding in a cave! There was a strange guy who helped him escape!

Siwoon was making such a fuss with his greatsword back then, so it was only natural that he couldn’t bring out his greatsword out of fear of arousing their suspicions.

‘Even if I carry a greatsword, you won’t be able to point me out as him.’

That was the case too.

Lee Si-woon, a rookie hunter who is now at level 14 and has a hard time even holding the title of F-rank hunter. Even if he was carrying the same type of greatsword as the one in the cave yesterday, there would be no suspicion.

Yesterday, in that desperate fight, the man with the greatsword showed great fighting skills!

‘Still, there is no need to be suspicious. A greatsword should only be used in hunting grounds. Until the guards are silent…….’

First of all, there is work to be done.

***

“Ooh… ….”

A man wearing a black hood exclaimed in admiration.

In front of his hand was a pile of rare accessories, armor, and various weapons.

“How much can you pay for this?”

Siwoon asked.

“All of these gears are above rare level, but these gears… ….”

The man gave me a suspicious look.

He was a fence that secretly arranged, traded, and sold things like a ghost.

He was a person who made a living by buying and selling equipment obtained through dark sources, equipment that could not be uploaded to the auction house, and items that were quickly disposed of to wash away sins, leaving a profit.

The black hood looked at the poem for a while and then moved its mouth again.

“…… These equipment are mainly used by the city guards in the beginning.”

“You’re not the kind of person who argues with that, are you? Say nothing else, just tell me how much you’re willing to give.”

Siwoon shot sharply.

The man shook his head while letting out a fishy laugh.

“Well, I’m a guy who lives in the shadows, so I’m not interested……. I heard this town is in a lot of trouble right now?”

The man’s words went up in a subtle way.

Siwoon didn’t reply and looked straight at him.

You just turn off your attention! Shut up, pay the stolen goods price! … With the eyes of

The man raised the corners of her mouth and smiled grimly.

“What a bold friend. Anyway, I’m not interested in whether you killed a person or brought the dragon gun by striking the emperor in the back. As long as you bring us useful things, that’s enough. 1.5 Million gold.”

Siwoon’s eyes flashed at the price he called.

‘1.5 Million gold.’

Siwoon examined the man’s face closely.

Out of focus eyes, a face half crushed by burns, ugly knife marks, and a tattoo with a strange pattern on the nape of his neck.

And even the wrinkles that seem to have been hit directly by the wind and waves of the years…….

I could tell roughly what kind of life he had lived.

By the way,

‘The body signal cannot be read.’

Through Body Signal, Siwoon decided to catch his mind and see if he could get a little more price.

However, the body signal was not read.

The man peeked and laughed.

“Hey, you have strange eyes, don’t you? However, once words have come out of my mouth, I do not take them back.”

It was as if he understood Siwoon’s intentions. It was the nuance that there was no such thing as bargaining over the price.

‘My energy is no joke.’

Siwoon showed his disapproving face and nodded once.

“Please.”

“Here it is, 1.5 Million gold.”

[Acquired 1.5 Million gold.]

***

On the way out after the deal with the fence.

‘I could have made some money if I sold it at the auction house… …. Cheet.’

Actually, Siwoon completed an unspoken task (?) After the bloody battle in the Havana cave yesterday.

That task was to pack the equipment of the guards inside the cave in a thrifty inventory.

By trading these equipments through the auction house system, you could touch bigger money.

However, I couldn’t.

If I posted these items at the auction house, it was certain that the guards would be suspicious.

The day after the guards’ equipment disappeared…… If the equipment was exquisitely put up on the auction house, there was no way to avoid suspicion, no matter how F-rank Hunter Siun.

In addition, the equipment was not the equipment used by other mercenaries or hunters, but was mainly used by the guards.

“Anyway, let’s be satisfied with the money we made in the beginning. Next thing I’m going to do is….”

***

“Kiki!”

“Kikiiik!”

The slime screams in succession, turns into jelly, and disappears into the ground.

[You have leveled up.]

“Finally level 15.”

Siwoon shouted with joy.

There were still traces of 10 minutes of relentless hunting all around Siwoon.

The corpses of the slimes that died at the hands of Siwoon and the great sword! Traces of knife marks were all over the mound.

I wiped the cold sweat dripping down my forehead.

“Finally it’s 15.”

It was a result achieved in two days.

For others, it would take weeks to reach level 15.

However, from the beginning, Siwoon has continued hunting like honey, starting with his fraudulent strength and amazing eyes, and the result has been very successful!

“Okay. Shall we open the box now?”

The hum was about to come out.

“The inventory window opens.”

After opening her inventory, Siwoon looked at one of her items.

It is

[Random accessory box][Unique]

A rare box that can only be obtained through advanced events. When you open the box, you can randomly get a unique grade accessory.

Let’s open it only on lucky days!

Usage level limit: 15

It was the box I received from Elia!

“Okay, open it.”

Siwoon was also quick to make level 15 and hunt down the slimes here in order to open this box.

He put his hand on the box.

Exciting! Heart palpitations occurred.

Surely, which item will pop out to greet me? It should be a good temp!

Click.

Tuntadadan!

When I moved my hand, I heard the sound effect of panpare and the box flashed! Through the cracks in the open box, strong light poured into Siwoon’s face.

[You have obtained the Fire Dragon’s Ring!]

“The Fire Dragon’s Ring?”

Siwoon hurriedly looked over the details of the ring.

[Fire Dragon’s Ring][Unique]

A ring that contains the soul of the Fire Dragon, an ancient demon beast.

It is said to have been made by condensing the hot feathers of the Fire Dragon.

[Durability 150/150].

-Retention effect.

Fire resistance +30%

Increased strength: 30.

Increase agility: 25.

Health increase: 25.

-Special additional options.

Possible to ‘Save EXP’.

Available to use the active skill ‘Leap of the Fire Dragon’.

“It’s very useful, isn’t it?”

The ability level increase effect was very good.

Above all, it was a really useful item to have a skill attached to it.

In addition, the function of saving experience was a function that could be useful to Siwoon.

“The Fire Dragon’s Leap?”

Siwoon looked at the skills attached to the options.

[Fire Dragon’s Leap][Lv.1]

Leap into the air with the power of the ancient fire dragon.

– 140% Speed of agility.

-When jumping, if you are attacked by someone with a higher level than you, the damage taken is reduced by 30%.

“Very useful?”

I was filled with joy and spontaneously gave a monologue.

I have a feeling that future hunting will become easier.

Siwoon immediately went to the dungeon after coming out of the beginner-intermediate training ground.

***

[Battlefield of the Orcs].

I reached a dungeon.

This is the most difficult dungeon in the first city.

Hunters cannot leave the city of the beginning until they change their 1st job.

I wanted to go to a higher level dungeon than this one and wipe out the monsters, but this was the highest level dungeon that Siwoon could go to.

“Should we stir it up now?”

Clock!

Siwoon took out a greatsword from his inventory.

Shhh!

They even pulled out the giant wild boar’s skin and put it on!

Due to the great wild boar’s leather clothing, agility and defense have increased significantly, and equipped with the Fire Dragon’s ring, even the possessed stats have increased thrillingly!

And Siwoon, who originally possessed the fraudulent strength stat, felt that he could wipe out all the monsters on the Orc battlefield with just a low kick.

I didn’t see a single Hunter around.

There was no way there was.

Siwoon looked around.

The inside of the dungeon was shaped like a cave, and a long passage was visible.

Across the aisle, I could see a shabby abandoned house.

It seemed to be an abandoned house inhabited by orcs.

The dull smell and shady feeling made me feel as if a ghost would come out at any moment.

Well, even if the ghosts popped out, there was no problem.

Ghosts are no different from monsters, so just slash them down with this greatsword.

“Come on, everyone crawl out!”

Let’s shout and provoke beyond the dungeon with a greatsword,

“Ooh! What are you talking about?”

“A human?”

The two started walking with axes.

[Orc Warrior][Lv 30]

[Orc Warrior][Lv 30]

When the two orcs, clad in low-grade armor and strong muscles, found Siwoon, they rushed to slash Napta with an axe.

“Eulatcha!”

Siwoon shattered the head of an orc that rushed in ignorantly with a single blow.

The heavy hitting feeling is transmitted thrillingly through the hand.

Seeing his fellow orc lie down on the spot, the other orc’s eyes turned terrifying.

“Ooh! Where is this human being!”

Shiwoon laughed and swung his greatsword wide. The blow with the addition of the tempo effect and the ignorant strength stat that was not suitable for the level was enough to slash the ribs of the rest of the orc.

“Come more. It’s annoying to walk.”

Hearing Shiwoon’s voice, something started to jump again.

It was two guys.

Bakak! Quick!

The sound of their bones breaking all at once spread.

“Ooh! Whoa!”

“Your colleague is in danger, woo!”

Three more started running.

Three in a row, one blow, one blow. In one blow!, I let them lay their goal on the spot.

Sweet!

I felt something brush my face.

I looked ahead.

‘An archer?’

[Orc Archer][Lv 35]

An orc was about to strike again, putting an arrow in his bow.

“Where!”

The distance between the orc archer and Shiun was about ten meters.

“Leap of the Fire Dragon!”

In an instant, the shape of a fire dragon flapping its wings appeared under Siwoon’s feet, and Siwoon rose to the ground in an instant.

There was a strong, rising feeling in the air, like a spring spring!

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, Siwoon flew right in front of the orc archer. It looked like a wild boar with wings.

“Ooh! Wild boar? No, you’re a human! Humans flew?”

“It is a gift.”

Crash!

… This sound was the sound of the bow and the bones of the orc darting at the same time.

Kooung!

Seeing the orc go to the other world with his head on the ground, Siwoon smiled.

“This skill is very fast, isn’t it?”

[You have leveled up.]

-You cannot rise above level 16 in your current state.

– The 1st job change is required.

I wanted the level up effect to come out, but another voice blocked it.

‘This is what I use! It’s an experience point storage function.’

After a while,

[You have used the EXP save function.]

-Experience saved.

‘Okay, saved.’

Currently, Siwoon’s level is 15.

After the first job change, I was able to level up further.

However, what if you save and collect the experience points you accumulate each time you level up?

‘After completing the 1st job change, I can get all the accumulated experience points back intact.’

The Hunter test, which must be taken for the first job change, will be held in the next 20 days.

Until then, other hunters who started their hunter life at the same time as Siwoon could not exceed level 15.

On the other hand, if Shiwoon stores his experience points one by one like this, he gets all the experience points he saved after changing jobs. If so, the gap with other hunters will widen beyond imagination!

‘Grows faster than anyone else.’

It felt like Siwoon’s body was on fire.

Now Shiwoon was not afraid of anything.

Animal eyes, deceitful shoulders! … And what are you afraid of now in the yard with advanced items!

And,

Siwoon touched the system’s settings for a while.

The notification of the level up impact effect is set to .

On the other hand, the notification that the experience was saved was set to .

‘The level up alarm needs to go off so I know how many times I’ve leveled up, but the subsequent notification that I’ve saved experience is cumbersome, so I’m turning it off.’

“Ooh!”

In an instant, a hand holding an ax popped out from under the ground of Siwoon.

“What is it, it looks like a Lurker.”

Shiwoon easily avoided the axe! He died and stomped hard with his right foot on the arm that had risen from the ground!

Ujijik.

“Aagh!”

What follows is the scream of an orc.

Uji Jik-.

Siwoon put even more strength on his feet, stepping on his arms and rubbing them again and again.

Crash!

I can hear the sound of his arm bones breaking.

“Is he dead?”

“……….”

The arm sticking out from the ground was motionless.

Siwoon did not control his overflowing power and went deeper into the dungeon.

While leisurely waving his greatsword.

A level 15 hunter who does not even change his job and has no skill to change his job, this is the most difficult dungeon in the first city.

It was a surprise to the general public when they found out that they were wandering around like this.

I wonder if only 15 minutes have passed.

Siwoon was clearing half of the dungeon.
