“I’m sorry, Hyunseong. I know that they are famous and have solid skills, but we can’t help it.”

“… No. I understand. It can’t be helped.”

It’s a mess to understand. What do you understand?

The party leader looks apologetic and bows his head, but inside he probably doesn’t feel sorry at all.

But what can you do? This is my reality.

I went through E-class dungeons countless times. I have experience clearing even D-class dungeons. He is a veteran in his own right, and was expected to be a promising player when he was young.

But reality doesn’t take my past or skills into consideration at all.

“Don’t we have to make a living too? It’s a bit hard to go against a B-class hunter… ”

“Sorry. I didn’t mean to force it.”

“No. Rather, we are sorry. It is unilaterally expelled from a party that was properly registered.”

In order to break down the absurdity of this damned hunter world, there must be an overwhelming power that goes beyond it.

– Fuck, you fucking the girl I was after? On the topic of an E-class brat!

-No, how would I know that they were targeting that woman?

-shut up! You bastard, you know you won’t be able to live as a hunter from now on! Because I will definitely make it happen!!

A month ago, I remember a toad-looking man who was screaming at me and declaring revenge.

How could I have known that the woman I met casually was the woman the B-class hunter was targeting? It was just a light enjoyment. When you know that, let’s hit the rice cake one more time.

Well, I can understand why you have bad feelings towards me because of a woman. But isn’t it too much to stop someone from living a hunter life because of that?

It’s already been a month since everyone turned me down at every party I went to, probably because I was a promising member of one of the top three guilds. An ordinary B-class hunter would not have suffered this much, but it seems he had a background beyond the guild.

“A small amount of the penalty has been deposited into your registered account. Please don’t feel too bad about it.”

“It can’t be. I hope you find good party members.”

Still, I’m glad that this party leader was a person with some personality.

Rather, most people are angry at me and insist that I did something wrong.

After saying goodbye and returning home, only silence welcomes me.

“Ha… Fuck life. How long do I have to train? It’s going to sting a bit. ”

Today, I thought I was finally going to the dungeon for the first time in a long time, so I finished my warm-up in the morning. Normally, I would have gone to training again, but today, when I am filled with empty hearts, I just don’t want to go to the training ground.

As I unconsciously turn on the TV and lie down on the sofa, I hear the news.

– There is news that a party led by Korea’s youngest S-class hunter, ‘Frost Queen’ Yoo Seon-hwa, has once again succeeded in conquering an S-class dungeon that occurred in Australia. As a result, the ‘normal’ guild that Seonhwa Yoo belongs to has successfully conquered 10 S-class dungeons, achieving a record of one of the highest scores among the world’s top guilds… .

The screen showed a cold-faced beauty with blue hair majestically leaving the airport.

Normally I would have just celebrated, but I didn’t want to do that today.

“I’m so fucking jealous… If I had awakened my magical power, would I have been able to become the youngest S-class like Seonhwa and do well like that?”

Some people are already making a name for themselves as S-level hunters at 28, the same age as me, but some people are E-level hunters and are about to turn 30.

I’ve been a hunter for a long time, but I don’t have a lot of money saved. Not only is he a low-level hunter, but considering the cost of training and investment in magic awakening methods, it is inevitable.

In the end, this is what it looks like to grow old without achieving anything.

“Ha… Let’s clear our heads.”

To relieve my frustration, I turn on my smartphone and browse apps.

The type of app you are looking for is a random chat app.

Sometimes, whenever I was bored, I would download a random chat app and play around with it.

At first, like everyone else, I started it with the goal of safely finding a suitable relationship partner, but it was more fun than I thought.

Like pretending to be a woman and picking on men, or coming up with a concept and role-playing it.

The fun of hiding one’s identity behind the shield of anonymity became an appropriate way to relieve stress for me.

While I was scrolling through the app, a strange name caught my eye.

[Dimension random chat app]

“What is this again.”

Enjoy a different level of fun? What a grand name. At best, it’s a LAN chat topic.

I was interested in the name, so I downloaded it. I’m sure it doesn’t contain malicious code or anything like that.

After downloading it, I was relieved to see that it was sent like a message rather than setting up a room and having a conversation in real time. Because talking to only one person like GaXLaXB is very tiring.

I immediately sent a new message.

[Me: What are you doing?]

Because I was so weak, I had no intention of biting and sucking her because she was a woman. Maybe later.

Now I felt more like I just wanted to talk about everyday life.

10 minutes after sending a message like that,

-Tiring!

“Oh, I guess you’re here.”

What does the new random chat taste like? What kind of people are mainly here?

I checked the messages on my smartphone with a bit of excitement.

– [You have connected with a stranger in dimension AP-1892573.]

The message contained strange content that I had never seen before.

what? Dimension?

I have experienced apps that connect people from other regions or even other countries, but this was the first app that connected me to another dimension.

“Looks like the developer is a bitch.”

Normally, I would have thought I was coming up with some stupid concept and deleted the app.

But now the concept felt somehow pleasant, so I decided to just keep going.

“There are days like this, right?”

I go into the app and look at the contents of the messages that responded to my message.

[Stranger from Dimension AP-1892573: Is there anyone there? Save me! A zombie has appeared here!!]

“What, fucking zombies?!!”

I suddenly came to my senses from feeling lethargic and lethargic.

Even though it is an F-class monster and a poorly trained ordinary person can catch a few of them, a monster is a monster.

“Did he get caught in the dungeon break? You’re in big trouble.”

In my surprise, I tried to teach the other person in the random chat, who I assumed was a normal person, how to deal with it as rationally as possible.

[Me: Calm down. Smartphones are becoming a thing, right? First, report it to the police or the Hunter Association. Hunters in charge of the area will be dispatched soon. This is an F-class dungeon break, so avoid contact with monsters as much as possible and hide somewhere!]

My message was sent, and as soon as I was about to tell him how to do it, a reply came right away.

[Stranger from Dimension AP-1892573: I already contacted the police, but no response at all. But what about the Hunter Association? F-class dungeon break? What are they again? Please don’t tell me anything strange that I’ve never heard before in my life. I’m serious now. Are you safe there? Didn’t a zombie appear or something?]

“What kind of nonsense is this really.”

I was slightly annoyed by the incomprehensible sound.

This is my first time hearing about the Hunter Association. Does it make sense to not know about the Hunter Association, a group that created Dungeon Gate and does more work than the police?

Still, just in case, I treated the other person as kindly as possible, with the professional spirit of a hunter that still remains.

[Me: Calm down. If it is difficult to contact you, I will contact the association. Where is it? I will go wherever I can. Even though he looks like this, he is an E-class hunter, so he can kill zombies without difficulty.]

I spoke faithfully according to the civilian response manual I learned at the academy. It couldn’t be more perfect than this.

I waited for the rescue call with a proud heart. How anxious were you to call for rescue through a random chat app?

-Tiring!

As expected, the reply came quickly. It will be written more accurately this time.

[Stranger from Dimension AP-1892573: Room 1503, Building 702, XX Samsung Apartment, XX-gil, Seongbuk-ro, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul. But the association? E-class hunter? What on earth is that? This is my first time hearing it… ]

“Ha, this shit is real. You were a concept-obsessed bastard.”

When I saw the text, I couldn’t help but sigh in relief and burst into laughter.

This is because the location mentioned by the person in the random chat was the address of where I live.

And unfortunately for him, there were no apartments around here.

“If you’re going to come up with a concept, make sure you do it right. You need to find out whether there are apartments here or not and come up with a concept.”

In fact, there is no way that the other person would think that the person at the address he or she said would be matched with the person in the random chat. So I guess I just made up the address.

Smiling, I decided to give the person who was giggling on the other side of the smartphone screen a good smack to the back of the head.

[Me: Oh, I see~. Unfortunately, that’s where I live, right? Hey, if you’re going to come up with a concept, try to come up with it properly. There are no apartments here. It’s a villa village, what kind of apartment is this? Still, it was a bit novel? Is this an apocalypse concept? I guess you’ve done some role-playing?]

Even though I am someone who has done a lot of random chatting, I almost got fooled at that moment. Perhaps if the address mentioned was a different address, I would have been on the hook for a bit longer.

It’s “. I’m learning a lot. He was also a bit of a hit kid. How immersive is this? Isn’t this the skill of catching one or two people?”

Perhaps it was because the hunter’s heart still remained, but the relief that people were safe from monsters took precedence over the discomfort of being pranked. Because of that, the person he was pranking didn’t seem that bad.

“In the future, if you want to come up with a concept, you need to research and plan it more properly. And learn some secrets.”

While I was giggling, a reply came right away.

[Stranger from Dimension AP-1892573: What? hey! What bullshit! It’s not like there’s anything going on right now! It’s only been a week since I moved here! There’s no such thing as not having an apartment! And in a situation where my smartphone doesn’t work, this app is the only one I can use, so I’m rushing to do it in my room.]

“Huh. He still hasn’t come to his senses.”

Even though everything was revealed, this person did not admit it. That’s really persistent.

[Me: Stop with the concept. I graduated from the academy and have been living here for 8 years now. If you do more, it’s no fun. Let’s just talk about our daily lives.]

[Stranger from Dimension AP-1892573: No, it’s real!! If you live here, can’t you see that there are a lot of zombies outside? Look outside!!]

“Zombies are shit. I wish there was at least a dungeon, damn it.”

Some people are depressed because they can’t enter the dungeon, but does it really have to be like this?

Outside, with the sun still high, all I could see was a passerby and a truck that seemed to be transporting a package.

Even after wiping my eyes, I couldn’t see a single zombie. In the first place, no emergency text message came.

[Me: Hey, if you want to understand the concept, look at it clearly. I live here, and right now, not a single stray cat, let alone a zombie, is passing by outside.]

[Stranger from Dimension AP-1892573: What… That doesn’t make sense… It’s not like there’s anything going on right now… I’m really scared… ]

“Sseu-eup… The concept is spot on, really. He’s stubborn, really.”

It looks like he wants to continue this situational drama.

I can’t. If this is the case, I have no choice but to compromise and let him go.

[Me: Hey, then call me. Then I will save you.]

[Stranger from Dimension AP-1892573: Really? Can you save me? Those zombies are really scary… ]

[Me: I’m an E-class hunter? I’ve killed literally thousands of zombies. Trust me and leave it to me.]

“If you don’t solve the concept, it’s okay if I just get along appropriately.”

It’s a role play anyway. It is obvious that if you run out of material in your head, you will quickly quit.

The moment I was about to leave the app and drink water,

– Tiring!

– [‘Stranger from Dimension AP-1892573’ wants to summon ‘Hyeonseong Park’ to his dimension. A quest is given upon summoning, and you cannot return to your dimension until the quest is completed. Do you want to accept it?]

[Y/N]

A message with very strange content appeared on the screen of my smartphone through an app.

“Puhahahaha!!! Wow, Mr. Lee, there was a function like this, are you crazy? Is this why it’s called dimensional random chat? oh my god! Hahahaha!!!”

This app seems to be the type of random chat app that properly supports role playing.

The feeling of depression I felt earlier went away because I thought I had discovered something quite interesting.

“Okay, let’s have a taste of what it feels like.”

I guess there will be a charge or something like that. Still, if the concept is this good and it’s fun, I’m willing to pay a certain amount of money.

With a light heart, I pressed the Y button on the screen.

And before I was conscious of anything else,

– [Dimension random chat app temporary user ‘Park Hyun-seong’ will be summoned to Dimension AP-1892573.]

As soon as I recognized that there were strange letters on the screen, my mind went black and I felt like I was being sucked into somewhere.
