episode_0027

Following Karr’s guidance, Jihoon Park, Jiyeon Shin, and even Brianna.

Everyone entered the tree cave.

And the sight I saw inside.

“Wow…”

“Wow.”

“Kiik?”

Everyone except Kar was surprised and had a dazed expression.

Before their eyes, a stone glowing softly.

It was floating in the air.

Additionally, the stone itself is not ordinary.

It is about the size of a human fist, and not only does it emit a soft light.

Something that looked like an unknown hieroglyph was engraved on the stone.

“…Runestone.”

With a blank expression, Shin Ji-yeon muttered that.

Rune stone.

Although it is not engraved with ancient runes, it is so called because it has hieroglyphs with similar patterns engraved on it.

If you use it, it gives you a ‘skill’ that is said to be almost impossible to obtain except when the hunter awakens.

It is possible to acquire the skills engraved on the runestone.

Depending on the type of skill included, it is much more useful than increasing the stats by several tens.

It is said that expensive ones can be traded for hundreds of billions.

Even if you have a skill, it will be useful at some point, so even a rune stone with a complete job skill costs billions of dollars due to its rarity.

It’s literally a lottery.

No, he is no different from a combination of several lottery first prizes.

“What should I do, what should I do, senior! A real rune stone has appeared! Crazy!”

It would have been great luck if it had been a ‘mysterious stone’ that raised the total stats by more than 20 at once as a hidden reward.

Shin Ji-yeon could not hide her excitement at the fact that a rune stone had appeared.

“Hurry, go and check it out! What kind of skill is this!”

Even though it is Park Ji-hoon’s and not his, it is as if it were his own work.

No, it seemed like he was more happy about it than about his own work.

“…Uh, uh.”

Park Ji-hoon, who was still dumbfounded, slowly approached Shin Ji-yeon’s urging and reached out for the rune stone.

“Grung…”

Next to him, Card, who played the role of guardian protecting this runestone, also bowed his head.

It meant acknowledging Park Ji-hoon as the owner of the runestone.

Of course, he has already submitted himself and become the master.

Of course it is.

Anyway, Park Ji-hoon obtained the rune stone that was the core of the gate instead of the boss monster.

Tiring!

[You have cleared the E-rank gate ‘Silver Wolf Marsh’. ]

[ Cleared by subduing the boss without defeating him. ]

[ What a great achievement! All stats permanently increase by 2. ]

[The rune stone has been obtained. ]

[ What a great achievement! All stats permanently increase by 1. ]

A notification window popped up informing me that I had finally cleared the gate.

As he achieved achievements, his stats rose steadily, but Park Ji-hoon’s interest was elsewhere.

“……”

He looked at the runestone in his hand and gulped.

Soon, an information window popping up informing me of the runestone’s effects.

Park Ji-hoon checked the information window step by step with a nervous mind.

Could it be that it is a completely useless skill?

Isn’t it possible that some ridiculous skill like Alpha Male will appear again?

I saw on the news earlier that the ‘Swordsman’ skill rune stone was sold for 210 billion won.

if…?

Such thoughts pass through my head.

The rune stone’s information window appeared in his eyes.

[Runestone]

[ When used, you can acquire the skill ‘Martial Arts’. ]

The information window was very short and concise.

‘Fighting arts’.

It was a rune stone that taught fighting skills when used.

‘I guess this is why Kar changed his career to a fighter.’

Now I can understand why Kar became a beastman and a fighter.

It was probably because of the rune stone containing fighting skills.

Anyway, that aside.

Since it was definitely an E-rank dungeon, ridiculous top-level skills like ‘Master of Fighting’ or ‘King of Fist’ did not appear.

However, when it comes to fighting skills, it is a skill that makes hand-to-hand combat easier without weapons.

The body becomes more solid, and attacks using fists or feet become more smooth.

It has the effect of allowing you to move quickly as if you had learned martial arts even if you did not learn it.

Definitely helpful in battle.

No, it allows you to skip many of the combat skills that were essential to learn.

It was a very useful skill.

And the fact that it is a useful skill means that it is expensive.

“Fighting skills? Huh… His basic swordsmanship skill was around 20 billion… I guess this guy would be similar…?”

Shin Ji-yeon, who has been working as a hunter for a long time and knows the hunter ecology well.

It is a rune stone worth about 20 billion won.

“…Wow.”

At that moment, I really thought, ‘Should I sell it?’ It was a price that caused the desire to soar.

Isn’t that so?

If it’s 20 billion won, honestly, Park Ji-hoon doesn’t have to make any money anymore.

All you have to do is buy a nice, spacious house and live comfortably with Shin Ji-yeon, Brianna, and Kar, eating rice cake every day.

An expensive house, an expensive car, expensive clothes, an expensive watch.

Enjoying a harem life with pretty girls.

Isn’t this the life that every man dreams of at least once?

It is the money that makes that possible.

20 billion.

But Park Ji-hoon quickly shook his head.

‘No, my dream doesn’t stop here.’

Jihoon Park remembered his goal.

Even though it is currently E rank.

Later, it grew further and reached ranks D, C, B, A, and S.

Entering higher and more diverse gates and meeting more women of different races!

And have fun fucking with them and building a great harem of different races that is buried by countless female monsters.

That was Jihoon Park’s goal.

‘Orc, Lizardman, Succubus, Vampire, Dragon!! ‘Monster beauties with female bodies that I haven’t even met yet are waiting for me!’

Therefore, rather than blindly selling rune stones for 20 billion.

For the future, he said it would be a good idea to acquire the ‘combat skills’ he needs.

He judged.

‘Yes, I felt it when I fought with Kar earlier. Absence of combat skills.’

So, haven’t you thought about whether you should register at least a martial arts gym?

However, even if you only have one fighting skill, many issues can be solved as if you have learned some martial arts.

Then the conclusion has been decided.

“This is for me.”

“Yes? Really?”

Shin Ji-yeon’s eyes widened at Park Ji-hoon’s explosive remarks.

But soon, he nodded as if he understood.

“Well, considering my senior’s ability to grow… I think it would be a good idea to learn combat skills.”

Park Ji-hoon’s abilities are not fixed like Shin Ji-yeon or most other hunters.

Through skills, your stats increase just by defeating or subduing a female.

Grows at an incredible rate.

Didn’t he show growth at an unprecedented rate, rising from F rank to E rank in just two days?

If things continue like this, it won’t be long before they reach B rank and A rank.

In such cases, having combat skills can be of great help.

It is especially valuable to Park Ji-hoon, who has no choice but to grow quickly without having time to build up experience and skills.

“Are you okay? I’m a party member.”

Park Ji-hoon asks Shin Ji-yeon just in case.

20 billion won, no matter how well you make money, you are a B-rank hunter and a mid-level guild master.

It’s money that you can’t help but covet.

However, Shin Ji-yeon shook her head without a single second of hesitation.

“No, that’s my senior’s.”

As expected, she was certain about this.

A good guild master, Park Ji-hoon thought.

“…And if the seniors are strong, I won’t even see the girls who appear in the top ranked gate! Hehehe, demon sister! Dragon Sister!!”

…cancellation of good guild master.

Just a pervert.

…, Park Ji-hoon thought.

Anyway, if you decide to write it.

Also, you have to write it down before your heart wavers.

“…Lu, use the rune stone!”

To think that 20 billion won is being spent for a moment.

I wondered if this was right.

Park Ji-hoon closed his eyes tightly and shouted out.

[Use rune stones. ]

[The rune stone used is destroyed. ]

Push!

The runestone crumbles in vain, loses its light, turns into a lump of dirt, and collapses.

At that moment, Park Ji-hoon felt heartbroken because it felt like his 20 billion won balance was disappearing.

But soon.

[The ‘Fighting Arts’ skill has been acquired. ]

[Martial Arts / Level 1]

[Understand the basics of martial arts using the bare body. ]

Although it was a short description of the skill, Park Ji-hoon’s mood instantly improved.

“Oh, oh oh oh!”

Because, the moment you acquire a skill.

Even though my stats didn’t go up, my body somehow felt lighter and I felt like I had a vague idea of how to move my body during battle.

“It’s really amazing.”

I didn’t quite understand that you could use martial arts by acquiring skills.

When I got it in person, my doubts were immediately resolved.

‘I just think I can do it.’

Kar’s agile movements that we saw during the battle earlier.

A kick that felt like an iron club.

A series of punches that were difficult to avoid.

Every movement was understood.

Why did it move like that, how did it move like that?

And how to move like that.

“Wow, congratulations, senior. So there are 3 skills?”

“Uh, uh…”

Now that I think about it, it was like that.

Usually hunters have one skill.

Shin Ji-yeon also said that she had a ‘body strengthening’ skill and that she learned swordsmanship separately.

However, Jihoon Park has two of the best morale skills of all time: Alpha Male and Female Hunter.

Now I even have fighting skills obtained with rune stones.

Became a hunter with a total of 3 skills.

A top level hunter with 3 or more skills can usually purchase rune stones.

Or, it was someone like ‘Cheon Hyun-soo’, who became a hunter from a family of extremely wealthy owners of a large company and became a hot topic, with qualifications that could have been possible.

That alone is already amazing.

Park Ji-hoon is the world’s first and only ‘trainer’ with ministry skills.

He is even an extremely rare ‘growth hunter’ who can increase his rank by increasing his stats.

It is literally a collection of all the elements a hunter dreams of.

“…Senior, it was really nice to have a party with that senior.”

Every move he makes will become history.

It will be on people’s lips.

Being able to join in on that journey.

The happiness of a woman named Shin Ji-yeon and the happiness of a partner with the same sexual orientation are the same.

It was a great honor for a hunter, she thought.

“Really, I want to be with my senior for the rest of my life!”

“Uh, huh?!”

When Shin Ji-yeon said that with sparkling eyes, Park Ji-hoon was startled and stuttered.

“Ah…”

Shin Ji-yeon soon realizes how her words sound.

I blushed in shame and lowered my head.
