    Dungeon!

    It appeared out of nowhere. I don’t know when, but it probably started happening after Hunter was born.

    Dungeons are divided into levels. The range is F-class to S-class. Every time the level of difficulty goes up, the level of difficulty rises sharply. From level C onwards, it is impossible to attack without a prophet.

    The difficulty of the dungeon increases rapidly as you reach S rank. Apart from that, the probability of its appearance is very low. If it had appeared often, humanity would not have been able to survive, so in a way, it can be said to be fortunate.

    ‘And the place we are going now is the lowest dungeon, Grade F… .’

    It is rated to appear five or six times a day. Of course, the difficulty level is very easy. Even trained military police forces can handle it.

    ‘and… . Sir, are there people bringing guns to some F-class dungeon? ‘Is he a gold digger?’

    Jeong Yu-jin expressed envy and feelings of inferiority when she saw the hunters who came with automatic weapons. ​

    In dungeons below grade D, firearms are effective depending on shooting ability, so rifles are usually not used in grade F dungeons.

    Because it is not cost-effective… . Due to the nature of hunters who make a living by selling dungeon by-products, a firearm that explodes all flesh is literally like scattering ashes.

    ‘Sii! It’s also bad manners to bring a gun to a low-level dungeon like this.’

    Although I complained so much. In any case, it was said to be a big hand, so Jeong Yu-jin did not express it. That would be a wiser choice.​

    Anyway, the total number of people who participated in the F-class dungeon was 8.

    Among them, two were holding K2 rifles, and the large man who appeared to be part of the group was holding a K3 machine gun with one hand!

    The rest of the party had the commonly seen axes, and one of them was holding a torch. It was an essential item in dungeons set in dark caves.

    ‘That woman is a step above. Are you an employer? ‘He’s carrying the most expensive weapon.’

    The young woman who seemed to be leading them was wearing only a pistol. He had hand grenade pouches lined up on his combat vest.

    Needless to say, grenades are expensive items. On the subject of consumable weapons, the cost of one K2 rifle is equivalent to three grenades.​

    ‘I guess she’s the granddaughter of a guild or a major corporation… . ‘I’m planning to conquer the dungeon and receive a constellation!’

    This is something that hunters with a silver spoon often do. With the support of my parents, I am armed with a powerful firearm, enter the dungeon, and safely awaken the constellation.

    This is an action that cannot be criticized. Parents, you always want your children to do well. Jeong Yu-jin, who came from an orphanage, was just jealous.​

    “Now, now! Everyone has gathered. Before entering the dungeon… . Let me tell you about each person’s position.”

    “Position? I have a gun anyway… .”

    “Uh, hmm! Position is very important. This is not a training camp. If you go out carelessly, everyone could die!”

    Jeong Yu-jin wasn’t that scary. If everyone had an axe, they could die accidentally. From the moment I saw the gun with a full magazine, I didn’t feel that way at all.

    ‘The moment you fire continuously for 3 seconds, there will be holes in all of them… .’

    Maybe that’s why I wasn’t that nervous. F-class dungeons are easy.

    “First of all, Yujin Jeong here is the person who has awakened the Constellation. What is the name of the person you are serving? ?”

    “You are the mother of blood.”

    “Ah! In that case, it must be a wizard type. Stand in the rear.”

    Jeong Yu-jin was slightly surprised by those words. When I was a porter, I was treated as a useless member of the 3rd Army, and I received all kinds of insults.

    But now, just because I have one constellation, I have passed all the procedures and have been treated as a top priority!

    ‘They are even treated as more important than the person holding the gun. ‘Don’t you trust me too much?’

    The engineering captain had no doubt that Jeong Yu-jin was a prophet who served the constellation. No, it had to be that way.

    No one impersonates a prophet. I don’t know what the principle is, but the moment a lie is told, lightning comes down from the sky and frys the fraudster to a crisp.

    “If you read the email I sent you, you would know about the enemies that appear in this dungeon. It’s a goblin. Goblin. You know? Green dwarfs. Those guys who fight with swords and spears.”

    Goblins are the lowest level creatures in the dungeon ecosystem.

    Their size is the same as that of a child, and their intelligence is so stupid that even an adult man can easily kill two or three with his bare body.

    “Of course! Don’t look down on them just because they’re goblins. There are some guys who run at you with poisoned daggers. Do you know that if you get stabbed by something like that, the hospital bills will cost more than the salary you will receive today?”

    “Mr. Park! Stop talking nonsense and get in quickly! It’s not like you’ve done something like this once or twice!”

    “No, that bastard is so mean and damned. Big! Let’s go in and take a look.”

    okay. I have to go into the dungeon and see. Jeong Yu-jin nodded and entered.

    ***

    “Eight horses ahead! Avant-garde forward!”

    As the party leader shouted, two giants holding axes rushed forward.

    The well-forged hatchet flashed and swung even in the darkness. The goblin’s head splits in two, and intense drops of blood splash out in all directions.

    After a somewhat grotesque scene follows. After the two shooters holding the K2 rifle inserted the magazine. Converted to burst firing.

    “Spread out sideways!”

    “Yes, yes!”

    Bang bang bang—! Three goblins fall precisely with three gunshots. Needless to say, instant death.

    ‘Fuck you real gold diggers… .’

    Jeong Yu-jin felt a sense of relative deprivation and felt the power of modern weapons once again as he watched the running goblin fall down.

    “Nothing much.”

    The gunner, who had killed several goblins in an instant, muttered as he replaced the magazine.

    Certainly, looking at the current situation, there was nothing particularly dangerous.

    The vanguard jumps forward and eliminates the goblins holding darts or javelins in advance. The boring pattern of the gunner shooting and killing the goblin running forward was repeated.

    ‘The skills of the gunners are also amazing.’

    Even if they spread out in a hurry, they managed to hit three accurate shots without harming the allies in front. Were you a top marksman when you were in the military?

    Jeong Yu-jin thought that perhaps someone other than herself might also have a constellation.

    “Be sure to farm the magic stones when you leave! For now, let’s just take a quick look.”

    “Hmm, but it seems like there are fewer goblins today?”

    “Hey. The less it is, the better. What candle are you hitting?”

    Although goblins have weak physical abilities. There are so many of them that they are a problem.

    There are only one or two that can be killed by an adult male with a punch. It is dangerous if the number increases to about six.

    “Besides, these guys are even carrying weapons. It sounds like civilization has progressed quite a bit… . When was this dungeon discovered?”

    “It’s a discovery, it’s been a while. It must have been 3 years this year.”

    “What? It’s been 3 years?!”

    The rule is to remove dungeons within a few days. Otherwise, the monsters inside will grow.

    As time passes, it grows bigger and becomes stronger. Some dungeon monsters even use magic.

    “Hey, hey. Don’t make a fuss. Do you think all the guilds in charge of this area are as brainless as you? Of course, I tried to get rid of the dungeon. But it doesn’t go away.”

    “What do you mean, that.”

    “Even if you kill all the goblins, they won’t go away. That’s why we periodically subcontract and clean the goblins like this. That’s probably why there are so few. Even if you know, you don’t know.”

    Jeong Yu-jin picked up the weapon the goblin used and looked at it.

    It was definitely a weapon that had been improved to fit the goblin’s size, so it was small. Additionally, it was extremely crude.

    However, the unidentified liquid (probably feces) spread at the end suggested the user’s malicious intent. This means that a person who is stabbed will not be killed gracefully.

    ‘I heard you have low intelligence… . ‘Isn’t this at the level of a caveman?’

    Speaking of caveman level. Only the clothing and weapons are different. In the end, this means that intelligence is almost no different from that of modern people.

    ‘I’m starting to feel a sense of déjà vu.’

    It was not an empty feeling. The increased senses as the body is reborn are sending a silent warning to Jeong Yu-jin.

    Something is coming. surely. As I can assure you, the feeling of déjà vu grew more and more intense.

    “Uh, engineering captain?”

    “My name is Cheonho Park! Why is that?”

    “Ah, yes… . As long as the goblin makes a weapon. I guess they came up with a strategy or something. They say they deliberately sent out only a small scouting party to find out.”

    “Hmm. That certainly could be the case. I will definitely keep that in mind. I guess I should save some bullets.”

    Fortunately, Jeong Yu-jin, who took advantage of the fact that she had a high level of speaking power within the party, was able to get the answer she wanted.

    Still, the feeling of déjà vu did not go away. For sure… . Something will come.

    “Brother! Is the wind blowing from inside?”

    “What is it? So that means there is a cavity.”

    “Shall we go in more?!”

    “No, it’s done. If you walk in and goblins come out of nowhere, you could be screwed. Just go back from here… . Huh!?”

    It has finally become a reality.

    It happened in an instant. The long spear that flew out of the darkness instantly dug into the inside of the engineer’s shoulder.

    “Fuck! It’s a surprise attack… !”

    “Surprise? It would be nice to give those goblins their heads.”​

    Without hesitation, the gunners changed the control knob of the K2 rifle to continuous shooting.

    “No! Don’t shoot!”

    Drurrr! A volley of shots was fired from the muzzle, emptying an entire magazine with a loud noise. It was a powerful firepower that could tear apart any opponent in an instant.

    “I got rid of it… .”

    Buuuck—

    As soon as the shooting ends, the polearm flies again and gets stuck. This time it pierced the shooter’s neck. His body fell backwards, unable to get up again.

    “Fuck… . What on earth is this!”

    “Retreat! Retreat!”

    “Shut up! Sangjin is dead now. What bullshit!”

    Dungeons are dark by default. Therefore, the resident monsters have bright night vision.

    Dozens of strange flashing lights appeared on the floor of the cave, and soon they became as tall as a child.

    “Crawled…? . That’s why I didn’t get hit.”

    The engineering captain had no time to regret. Goblins attacked.
