— We are looking for support! Only those whose level was above D rank were accepted!
- Tank? There is no tank?
— I am a robber.
— Oh, sorry, stay behind.
The E-level gate is near Seoul.
A large number of people gathered around the gate in chaos, looking for a party.
'What's wrong with the robber?' Kang Yu had heard this kind of conversation before, so he thought about it.
But it seemed like everyone had a certain order to gather party members.
"Well, I don't care." He, as someone who would hunt by himself, did not care about the chatter.
Kang Yu gave the employee the Player ID he had just received.
— Already confirmed. —
There's someone else in uniform. It seemed like he was going to check his ID again, so he gave it to him.
Kang Yu thought that the remnants of the Illusory Power from last time might still affect the man, and if he just showed his hand, he would still miss him. So when he showed his ID, he immediately continued.
The air around him was shaking.
"I don't like this feeling." Each time, it reminded him of the feeling of throwing himself into the Nine Thousand Hells Circle.
The moment Kang Yu entered the Gate, the first thing he wanted to do was to go to the forest to hunt monsters.
— Sir, are you alone? — There is a friendly voice greeting Kang Yu.
He turned towards the source of the sound and saw the shield that hid the young man and apparently his flock.
It was over two meters tall and its body was made up of cubes.
'Bear or something?' It must be human, but he looks like a predatory beast.
- Yes, right.
— Will you hunt alone?
Kang Yu nodded lightly.
The man spat and continued:
— You climbed to the second rank?
- I don't.
— Looks like you haven't undergone basic training either. Do you have an F rating? If so, it is better not to hunt alone. Although goblins are small, and they look weak, they are monsters, — he said in an anxious voice.
— If you can't find the party, you can join us for a while to see what this monster looks like.
— Hey, Dae Su! Let him find out for himself!
— Right, Dae Su! If he's at F level, he won't help us. Let him go.
- No! Get into your position, — the man shouted violently.
In this party he clearly had power; instantly everyone was silent and each one was trembling.
— It will save your life. We share everything equally, so don't worry about the stones. Join us in.
— Just do not let him get in the way…
All members of Dae Su's party clicked their tongues upon hearing the expression that they should share the stone with him.
Dae Su felt a little depressed and looked at his friends then turned his gaze to Kang Yu.
— My name is Kang Dae Su. Whatis yourname?
— Oh Kang Yu's.
— You can call me informally as "You", I am only twenty-four years old.
'Don't lie.' Of course, if you heard something like that from a big guy who looks over 30 years old, you'd think it was a lie.
— Hah? Do you not believe? Look it! I was born at zero, I am Kang Dae Su! – A man shouted, showing his ID. This kind of situation has happened before, and more than once.
'uh? Are you seriously saying that it is the face of a 20-year-old?' Kang Yu was surprised to know this.
'What the fuck?' Kang Yu grinned and tilted his head.
— So use the word 'you.'
— Heh heh, our people are fast. Isn't that burdensome? You're gonna do an experiment at the party?
— Thanks for the offer, but I did not carelessly join the party. – Kang Yu replied coldly.
Dae Su's response to the rude answer was scowling and spitting.
— Well, I can't help it. But you have to be careful. Beware of big chocolate goblins. You see them, you run. Hobgoblins are the boss.
— Thanks for the helpful information.
- Good luck! — Dae Su and his Party retreat and escape into the forest.
Kang Yu looked at their footsteps and slightly smiled:
— Men are normal, although their appearance is unusual, but Dae Su instead suggests splitting the stones.
Kang Yu was impressed.
If he was really an F-rank player, it would be a great start.
— Well, it's time. — She went for a lighter gait.
When he went deep enough into the dark forest, he ended up meeting a goblin.
It's shouting. Well, it turns out the five of them, and they all scream in unison.
A black blade emerged from Kang Yu's left wrist.
Kang Yu, with the precision and agility of a savage beast, rushed towards the goblins.
Usually goblins were seen as a disgusting sight, but Kang Yu saw this disgusting creature as a way to gather Magi.
In a few moves, he slashed their necks, and their heads slipped off from the shoulders.
Last time, he cut ten at a time, and this time there were only five. He didn't even waste any power.
— As expected, it's easy.
He had a light feeling in his heart.
So he put a knife in the last goblin.
His head fell to the ground, paired with his final growl.
[Experience points increase]
[You have risen to level 4]
[Magi raised 1 unit]
'My level's rising!' Kang Yu's eyes sparkled.
He didn't care about his level at all the first time. Now, he thinks differently.
Kang Yu opened the status window.
[Status Window]
The player's name: Oh Kang Yu
Level: 4 [ranked 1]
Ranking Feature 1: The Power of the Eaters (Rank: ???).
Special skills are currently sealed.
Power: 9
Vitality: 10
Physical abilities: 8
Marion: 0
Magi: 14
Intellect: 8
Wisdom: 7
'Excellent.' No matter how many times he looked at the status window, he felt it was incredible.
'For me it really gets better.'
But Man Ma Jung is still sealed.
'It turns out you can collect Magi by raising your level.' That was another reason to catch monsters.
Kang Yu approached the decapitated monster corpse.
'The fact that there is no Magi on which stone, I have examined it.' It was necessary to find out where the monsters kept their Magi.
— devouring.
As soon as he approached the corpses, the Devourer Power woke up.
The black smoke billowing from his body completely enveloped the goblins.
There was the sound of broken bones and torn flesh.
He poured smoke into everything except on the Mana stone on purpose, leaving them untouched.
Like last time, there were only a few Magi in the bodies of goblins.
Kang Yu gently closed his eyes to discover where the Magi were from.
It doesn't take much time to find the source.
'All body.'
More precisely, the soul that is in the body.
Every body that is killed has a soul.
That's where the Magi circulate.
'Then you can always get the Magi from a fresh body. Okay.'
The corpses could not only carry Magi but also which stones could be sold.
After expelling all the energy from them, Kang Yu took out one Level E mana stone and stuffed it into his bag.
'It looks like I ate chicken and left only bones.' Yes, there are only Mana stones left. 'Oh, I just thought about the chicken, and soon I became hungry.'
He's so hungry, he drools.
Kimchi jjigae is delicious, but while thinking about chicken, she wants to eat chicken.
'Her chicken was fried... Cold beer...' Even imagining such a picture gave him goosebumps.
'Should we go now?' He could barely resist the urge to eat chicken. Kang Yu shook his head to expel that feeling…
'Hunt first!' He's just at the beginning of his Magi collection project.
He was crazy about eating chicken, but he had only caught five monsters, he had not been able to return.
'Later, I have to go with Han Sol to get the chicken.' He trudged deeper into the forest while biting his lips.
'That...' In the middle of the forest, there was a house built haphazardly made of trees and leaves.
Kang Yu, interested, went to the house.
A few dozen goblins wandered beside the house.
It was a monster shelter.
This was the number one place that everyone should avoid when they first entered the gate.
Because in a place with a high concentration of monsters, the chances of meeting a boss increased by several folds.
And if the approach is wrong, it could lead to the destruction of the entire party.
Yet.
— Amazing gifts! – Shouted Kang Yu, saw several dozen goblins.
The place that scared the newcomer was a gold mine for him.
'Big.' This meant that he could gather a lot of Magi stones and mana without wandering too far.
Magi to Magi, where stones become money.
He had already imagined selling which stone.
'Great.' Of course, if there was money, he could buy anything he wanted.
And he only had one wish at the moment.
— Let's eat chicken, wah! – Kang Yu screamed and threw himself towards the monsters. — Ordinary chicken and chicken with sour-sweet sauce, 50-50! And a bigger radish! — He flew towards the goblins, swung his black sword, and imagined himself standing at the counter to pay for the chicken.
