Episode 7

Iruri thought as she looked at the phrase “favorability increase” displayed on her status window.

‘It seems like there really was something that Chairman Han sensed.’

I didn’t even have the energy to look around.

All he could do was keep an eye on Han Seung-woo’s stamina gauge.

His stamina had not decreased since the moment she put the heel in, and his own stamina was still decreasing.

The latecomers heading to Japan are said to arrive at Narita Airport 10 minutes before they enter the gate.

In that case, while Hanho and his party were dealing with the gatekeeper, they would have been taking care of important matters outside the gate and preparing for emergencies.

Japan’s first gate.

In order to stabilize the gate phenomenon, as it was in Korea, we must return and attack this place.

Since Hanho escaped safely, if they just hurry up, at least Han Seungwoo might survive.

‘I’m not scared of dying. I’m just scared of Han Seung-woo not being able to endure it.’

Heavy eyelids.

Iru Lee planned to keep on heeling Seungwoo Han until the moment he stopped breathing.

Suddenly I remembered that I had heard that the most painless death was death by excessive bleeding.

“That’s exactly how I look right now. Seungwoo Han, you should live. It was nice to see you after such a long time.”

Now everything seemed to fall apart.

I could instinctively tell that there really wasn’t much time left.

But through the blurry vision, something darker and more sinister than the darkness inside the gate was creeping in.

A fiery, eerie gaze.

As I stared into those eyes, I thought, this is death.

– Heh heh heh heh heh heh.

The owner of those eyes laughed in an unpleasant voice.

Then he asked in a loud and creepy voice that made my eardrums feel like they were going to burst.

-Human, why do you want to die?

“Go away. You’re tired… You can’t kill me because of your favorability rating. But Han Seung-woo can’t.”

– Are you talking about that guy with his leg cut off? He’s going to die soon anyway?

“My leg got cut off… no way! Ugh, croak.”

Perhaps because I was screaming so loudly, my breathing became more difficult than before.

-Human, you are going to die. What do you think, you won’t tell me to spare your life?

“No, I’d rather save Han Seung-woo. I’ll…die.”

-Hahahahahahahahaha! This is funny.

Iruri answered with all her remaining energy, staring blankly into space with her eyes wide open.

Dying wasn’t really scary anymore.

Thud, thud.

The eerie gaze was still burning right in front of my nose, but someone’s footsteps were approaching.

“Isn’t it just one guy?”

―Hahahahahahaha, everything you say is funny. I will give two gifts to the person who gave me fun. If you really want to die, come to me alive. I will kill you however you want.

The eerie gaze, the creepy voice, the consciousness I was barely holding on to, everything faded and disappeared.

Iruri closed her eyes listlessly.

The last sound she heard before losing consciousness was the sound of an alarm.

Tiring.

After experiencing the utmost terror of being raped by goblins and being torn to pieces, I was no longer afraid of facing death.

After seeing the dying body of a crew member with one of his legs torn off, the fear that he might not be able to prevent a meaningless death made Iruri even more afraid.

A dream where I was running away from something unidentifiable, gripped by such fear.

I was more afraid of seeing Han Seung-woo die than of dying myself.

“Ah, no! Han Seung-woo!”

“Ms. Ruri! I’m here! Are you okay?”

“Who, where, no……. Mr., Seungwoo?”

As my blurry vision became clearer, I saw Han Seung-woo with a blank expression on his face on the other side, with casts on both his legs.

“Oh, how!”

“Thanks to you, I survived.”

“Thanks to you…?”

The nurse saw Iruri wake up and called a doctor in a hurry, as she was confused because she didn’t understand the situation well.

“Mr. Iruri? Okay, let me check.”

The doctor carefully examined Iruri here and there.

“Your condition is not bad. However, the association has requested that you undergo all tests, so we will proceed with the remaining tests. Please continue fasting until tomorrow morning.”

“Oh, yes. I understand…….”

Iruri watched the doctor and nurse leaving the hospital room for a moment before asking Han Seungwoo.

“What happened?”

“I don’t remember the details, but when we formed a second unit and entered the gate, the monster that had attacked us was gone.”

“Is he dead?”

“I don’t think he’s dead, judging by the lack of debris, but the gate closed after we cleared the Drake debris. That means the creatures that spawned there are no longer there.”

“Mr. Seungwoo, your legs……”

“It definitely felt like it was cut, but it seemed like only the bones were pretty much destroyed.”

“Ha……. I’m so glad…….”

“At the moment when I really thought I was going to die, I felt Ruri’s heal. Even in that situation, to me…….”

“It’s much more helpful to save an A-class hunter than an F-class one……”

“I will definitely repay you.”

“No! I didn’t do it with the intention of getting anything!”

“You’re awake.”

Han-ho and Han-gyeol entered the hospital room.

Han Ho’s face, which was looking back and forth between Han Seung Woo and Lee Ruri, had a dark shadow on it.

“It was quite embarrassing. I am quite embarrassed to see you all.”

“Oh, no! That was a wise choice!”

“Thank you for saying that. I have a lot of questions to ask, but for now, let’s focus on your recovery.”

After sitting for a while, saying a few nonsensical words, Han-ho forced a smile and left the hospital room with Han-gyeol again.

Choi Si-jin, who met the two people in front of the hospital room door, bowed with a pouty face and entered the room. As soon as he saw Iru-ri who was awake, he ran to her, grabbed her hand, and asked.

“Ms. Ruri? Are you okay?”

“Oh, yes! Okay, it’s okay!”

At that sight, Han Seung-woo frowned and stopped Choi Si-jin.

“Choi Si-jin. What are you doing?”

“Ah, ah! I’m sorry. I was just too happy to stop! Are you really okay? Ha, I’m so glad.”

“What happened? Seungwoo doesn’t seem to know the details either.”

“That’s because it’s top secret.”

“Top secret?”

Choi Si-jin lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear.

“Because this is the first gate that the association president failed to clear properly.”

“Surely, it will leave a stigma.”

“But I cleared it…….”

“I don’t know what hit me, the monster that attacked me has disappeared, the two people I thought were dead are alive, and now I have no choice but to get hurt.”

“I understand…….”

“Anyway, as soon as the gate closed, the speed of gate creation in Japan also picked up. It’s the same pattern as Korea.”

“In Korea, a giant magic stone was discovered at the first gate. Here?”

“Yes, that’s right. It was the same here. The magic stone was moved to the place with the greatest reaction, and the temporary building is currently under construction. They said that once the headquarters building is completed, the Hunter Awakening work will begin in Japan as well.”

“It’s more stable than I was worried about. That’s a relief.”

The two people breathed a sigh of relief at Choi Si-jin’s explanation.

“Ms. Ruri. At first glance, I had the illusion that you were talking to someone.”

Han Seung-woo asked cautiously.

“I’m not sure either… Why… Do people hallucinate or hear things before they die? I saw something strange and it seemed like it was talking to me.”

“That’s strange. Please explain in detail.”

“Uh… I just remember it being a monster with a darker and more sinister aura than the Gate.”

“A monster that can communicate… If that’s true, it’s so terrifying.”

While Han Seung-woo and Choi Si-jin were momentarily lost in thought, Iru Lee also looked back on the situation at the time.

‘The look in my eyes, the voice, and… something definitely made me more attracted to him.’

I slowly opened the status window while recalling the past.

She opened the message window to check the notification that a new message had arrived, and for a moment she froze like a stone.

‘What is this?’

Han Seung-woo asked after noticing that her expression had become unusual.

“Ms. Ruri, are you uncomfortable?”

“Huh? Oh! No! No. It’s okay.”

“Oh my, since you both are fasting, it’s hard to prepare anything for you…….”

“It’s okay. Mr. Choi Si-jin, have you eaten?”

“Not yet. I’ve been really busy. Since the director is lying down here, I, a low-ranking employee, have had to take on all the work.”

“Choi Si-jin, so you’re dissatisfied?”

“Hey, that’s not true! I’ll finish what I’m doing and come back after work. Get some rest!”

Choi Si-jin smiled playfully and left the hospital room.

Iruri was lost in thought, recalling the message she had just seen.

‘This is definitely the name of the monster whose favorability rating went up. Ceres, Ceres’s gift… … But the monster’s rank seemed strange. If I’m not mistaken, that monster was definitely SS-rank.’

As I racked my brain trying to connect the scattered memories in a smooth way, my head started to hurt.

As I was pressing my temples, hoping that my headache would go away, Han Seung-woo asked me again.

“Are you sure it’s okay?”

“Yes, I’m fine. I was just thinking back on what happened inside the gate.”

“S-class tanks, dealers, and even me. The top-class hunters were defeated without even being able to swing their weapons once.”

A woman’s scream suddenly brushed past Iruri’s ears.

“Were there any other casualties at that gate besides us?”

“A B-class healer is on the spot…….”

“ah…….”

A heavy silence filled the hospital room.

‘Han Seung-woo, to what extent can you trust that person?

Iru Lee is special.

No, it wasn’t special, but it happened to be special.

Iruri is an incompetent healer who cannot properly heal or regenerate other hunters.

However, her heels had the ability to make monsters feel attracted to her.

If you gain complete favor with a monster, you can gain that monster’s unique abilities.

It doesn’t end here.

There is one more ability that I acquired by chance, but it is so unique.

That means you can find out information about the monster.

Just by reaching out to see it, the monster’s level and name will be activated in her status window.

Is it really right to rashly reveal one’s hidden abilities to Han Seung-woo?

Iruri was troubled.

But if what he saw was really true and real, this is a very dangerous sign.

The highest grade monster known to the world is S-class.

The fact that an SS-class monster that surpasses an S-class monster has appeared is directly linked to a threat to the lives of the citizens and the hunters who jumped into the gate to protect them.

As if she had made up her mind about something, she briefly moved her pursed lips before calling out to Seungwoo Han.

“Mr. Seungwoo.”

“Yes, go ahead.”

“My abilities aren’t all that impressive, but I do have a really good memory.”

“yes.”

“That monster was definitely SS-class.”

“yes yes?”

Han Seung-woo, who had been answering dryly, was startled and asked back.

“This is the first time I’ve heard of an SS-class monster. Well, how did you know it was an SS-class monster when you couldn’t even see its form in the first place?”

“It’s a bit hard to explain. That might make it even harder to believe, but… it was definitely an SS-class monster with intelligence.”

Han Seung-woo’s face looked extremely shocked.

“But I’m not sure yet, so could you give me some time?”

“If it’s time?”

“Mr. Seungwoo, are you doing well at the association?”

“Yes, well. It’s not that I don’t have the strength to follow my orders.”

“When you get discharged, Seungwoo, please help me.”

“How can I help you?”

“For the time being, I’ll go and subdue the gates on my own. It might be a bit difficult for Seungwoo, but I hope you’ll turn a blind eye to it.”

“Of course not. The matter of Cheon Ye-jong and that Threk, no, Cheon Ye-jong’s crew hasn’t been resolved yet, and not only me, but Ruri almost died.”

Han Seung-woo spoke quite firmly.

‘I can’t help it if I’m treated like a lunatic. We’ve been through life and death together, so a little bit… … .’

Iruri called out to Han Seungwoo powerfully.

“Mr. Seungwoo.”

“No.”

“That’s not it.”

“No.”

“No, I can use monster skills!”
