20 – Life as a hunter in another world has begun (3)
Crowds lined up in front of the fountain plaza, which was blown by the hot air.
“I just leveled up.”
“More than that, why are squirrels so hard to catch….”
“So! They dodged all the attacks, but the little ones….”
“Who is Suhee?”
From noble mtl dot com
“Nothing came out of nowhere. f*cking right, really.”
The hunters are talking tiredly.
They are all holding wooden swords for low levels.
They were beginner hunters who came over to the other world today.
They were hunting and became friendly with each other.
A certain degree of friendship was also necessary.
It was because it was easier to catch squirrels if those who had just become hunters exchanged information and joined forces to hunt in a party.
I could have borrowed it in a hurry when I didn’t have any potions or ran out of money.
This place, Taecho City, was the same town as the beginning of new hunters who had just become hunters.
A village where hunters first start in the beginning.
That’s why it’s called ‘Taecho City’.
The general store and equipment stores here only sell low-level equipment, and there are no hunter-only dungeons, so high-level hunters were nowhere to be seen.
Besides, among the hunters currently staying in Taecho City, there were no hunters over level 2.
The majority are hunters who have just entered the other world, and even if they are in the early stages of their hunter life, their level is not going up right away.
How long does it usually take for level 1 hunters to reach level 15?
It took a week at the earliest.
It wasn’t a simple world where you level up in an instant like in a game.
Kikkik.
The door to the arms store opened and a man walked out.
In an instant, the eyes of the hunters around him were focused on him.
“Wow, look at the size of that….”
“Wow, that’s awesome?”
“Isn’t that a Claymore?”
Everyone admired the weapon the man was clutching behind his back.
It was a heavy and large greatsword studded with red magic stones.
“Have we come a long way to raise such a large sword?”
“It’s been a while….”
“Ehh, I want to throw away this worn-out wooden sword already.”
“But why is there such a person in this town?”
I was puzzled by something.
Here in Taecho City, high-level hunters do not stay.
All were low level hunters.
But that man looked like neither a mercenary nor a foreigner, but a hunter and a high level.
Although the men’s clothes were beginner’s training clothes, in order to wear such a large weapon, the minimum level must be over 30 by distributing stats intensively to strength.
“Shall we go and ask for a treat?”
“Will you do it? We are F rank….”
“Hey, hey. But that person seems familiar somewhere.”
“Right! That person, that! That….”
A woman stood up in the crowd.
Then she pointed at the man with surprised eyes.
“That’s the guy on the news!”

[Your possession is 270,000 gold.]
‘The remaining gold is 270,000 gold.’
Siwoon walked out of the weapon shop.
His back is covered with the heavy greatsword he just bought.
[Grassivore Claymore][Normal]
A two-handed greatsword studded with red magic stones.
-Attack Power: 150
-Durability: 250/250
‘With this, I’ll be able to send off most low-level mobs in one shot.’
This weapon was purchased because the first wooden sword given to hunters broke during the hunt.
There is no level limit for this greatsword, but there are conditions for wearing it.
Requires a strength stat of 80 or higher.
Currently, Siwoon’s strength stat was close to 85, so he was able to wear this claymore.
‘We must have a weapon.’
Weapons were virtually essential for Hunters.
When she reaches level 15, she can first change her job and acquire a job.
The types of 1st job change ranged from popular warriors, fighters, priests, archers, thieves to unpopular assassins, berserkers, and hidden classes.
However, when you reach level 15 and get a job, there is a condition for changing jobs.
I had to go through the dungeon exploration test and pass it.
What is the Dungeon Exploration Test?
The first test given to hunters who have just reached level 15.
It was hosted by the Hunter Association, where hunters teamed up to explore and clear designated hunter-only dungeons.
It is natural for hunters to go around hunter-only dungeons.
The act of transporting a wide range of items obtained from hunter-only dungeons to the real world and handing them over for auction.
Because hunters generate income in earnest.
In addition, hunters must clear hunter-only dungeons and accumulate achievements in order to upgrade their hunter rank.
Hunters and hunter-only dungeons are inextricably linked.
The exploration test was a test aimed at accustoming hunters to these hunter-only dungeons.
‘To pass the exploration test, you must have a useful weapon. This claymore is perfect.’
Siwoon purchased the weapon with the test in mind in advance.
The level Siwoon reached in one hour was 6.
Soon, level 15 was right in front of my eyes.
Others say it takes a week to two weeks to achieve level 15, which is a necessary condition for job change, but
I was confident that Siwoon could be achieved in 3 days.
‘With my eyes and shoulders, I can level up faster than anyone else. Above all, level up first.’
That’s right.
Now is the time to concentrate on leveling up more than anything else.
I’m about to turn and walk to the Havana Grassland, a hunting ground worthy of level 6.
“Hello.”
Someone has been talking to me.
Siwoon shook his mind and looked in front of him.
A woman smiles sweetly as her purple bob hair is slicked back.
“… Oh, hello.”
“You are the one who got a perfect score in the Hunter Qualification Test this time, right?”
“Yes, that is correct.”
Siwoon answered with a shy attitude.
I felt a lot of stares from the side. She turned her head towards it.
Hunters wearing uniforms are sitting around a stone statue in the shape of a lion spouting fountains and looking at themselves with curious eyes.
‘Everyone looks at me strangely. Body signals….’
She didn’t even have to read it.
All of them just looked amazing, and I could see the reason behind those eyes.
‘I am wearing a greatsword, not a wooden sword, so they look envious and puzzled. Well, it’s not worth it….’
Siwoon looked back at the woman in front of her.
She had a face that said she had something to say.
“But… Anything to say?”
“hahahaha, nothing else, I just wanted to say hello when we meet. I saw the news too. Actually, she was very surprised when someone with a perfect score showed up….”
“Ah, yes….”
It was cool.
Well, it was featured on the news because of the perfect score in the Hunter Qualification Test.
And she expected that there would be hunters who recognized her in the other world.
But she was embarrassed to talk about it for that reason.
“Are you going hunting?”
“Yes.”
Siwoon nodded her head.
She could just say hello and leave, but the woman noticed that she wanted to keep talking with Siwoon.
The female hunter’s face was pretty. But right now I can’t afford to pay attention to that.
Through Siwoon’s eyes, she looked at her delicately.
‘Looking at the quivering of her left chest, her heart is beating. And the pupils are wide open. You have a crush on me.’
The woman smiled at the observing Siwoon and said.
“I see~ Hey, is the weapon you’re wearing right now a claymore?”
“Yes, as you can see.”
“Don’t you have to be high level to equip a claymore?”
“There is no level limit, and the strength must be high.”
“Aha! I’m distributing stats to strength. How much muscle strength should I distribute to lift such a greatsword… “
“Would you like to listen?”
Siwoon interrupted her and asked.
Sureung! Before she could give her answer, Siwoon drew out her claymore and held it up to her.
“It sounds heavy, but I’ll try to lift it…” Aww!!”
Quadang! As soon as she grasped the handle of her claymore, she dropped the claymore to the ground.
The woman looked at the dropped greatsword with her wide eyes.
“Oh! Sorry for dropping it. Aren’t you broken? Phew, that’s really heavy. What is your strength stat?”
Siwoon smiled and lifted the claymore from the ground, she said.
“85.”
“……… Yes?!”
“I’m busy, so stop. Take care.”
“Yes? Ah….”
Siwoon bowed lightly and walked away.
The woman stared blankly at her back as she walked away with her dumbfounded face.
***
Havana Meadow.
Grunts were heard from all directions.
Wild boars have been regenerated and are roaming the meadow.
“Ability window opens.”
Let Siwoon shout.
The scan window of the ability database appeared in front of him.
[Class] None
[Classification] Hunter [Rating] F
[Race] Human [Gender] Male [Prestige] 5 [Crime] 0
[Level] 6
[Life] 90/90 [Mana] 30/30
[Strength] 85 [Agility] 10 [Stamina] 10
[Intelligence] 9 [Wisdom] 8
[Status] OK
[Hungry level] 6 [Thirst level] 7 [Fatigue] 12
[Spare stats] 15
‘Well, let’s distribute the spare stats before hunting.’
Siwoon invested all 15 of his extra abilities in physical strength without hesitation.
As his physical stat went from 10 to 25, his vitality increased rapidly.
There was a reason why all the stats were invested in stamina.
Once a Hunter dies, it cannot come back to life.
No matter how much HP is below 1%, even if there is a safety scroll that returns to the village, the hunter must have high health.
Safe scrolls cannot be used in hunter-only dungeons other than monster dungeons and villages.
What if I die in the Gate Dungeon? It was really moving to another world.
That’s why hunters keep taking their stamina at low levels in the early stages.
That was both a trend and a common one.
Because Hunter is not a game play on a computer, safety had to be the top priority.
‘Okay, shall we catch some wild boars now?’
The brown wild boars are sniffing with their noses on the ground.
A spear rose above the heads of the wild boars.
[Lv.6 Wild Boar.]
[Lv.7 Horned Boar.]
Sureung! Shiwoon pulled out the Claymore.
Chumble. I approached a wild boar.
“Kreung?”
Hearing the presence, the wild boar turned its head and scratched its forepaws on the ground in a huff.
After holding the Claymore and aiming at it.
Boom! Fast.
“Queueeaek-.”
Thrilling hand taste!
The wild boar lay limp on the floor with its pupils contorted, its bloody tongue sticking out.
[You have acquired 350 gold.]
[You have acquired a piece of pork.]
[Experience gained.]
“… Killing your taste? One at a time.”
Walked to the next target.
Boom!
“Kwaeah!”
[You have acquired 280 gold.]
[Experience gained.]
And.
“Queueek!”
“Pretty Awesome!!”
“Queueek… ….”
I heard the sound of picking pigs in succession.
Oriental medicine. One shot. Wild boars died helplessly with each blow.
At some point.
The corpses of wild boars and horned boars are piled up around Siwoon.
The wild boars in the grasslands of Havana are known as immortal monsters because they like wild nests, but Shiwoon didn’t like them.
Siwoon’s blow with the claymore was so powerful that with the sound of being beaten with a blunt weapon, the wild boars were busy dying with their skulls split.
Boom! Fast-.
“Queueek-.”
The howling scream of death.
“Keureueung!!”
“Kreung!”
The wild boars rushed in groups as their kin continued to die.
The wild boars charged, waving their heavy brown flesh.
‘Yes, it’s annoying, but come at once. I’ll kill you all at once.’
Dust was blown around by a herd of wild boars running ignorantly.
Boom!
Every time the blade of Claymore wielded by Siwoon reflected the sunlight and flashed.
“Queueek-.”
“Quite a lot of love.”
The wild boars, which had been running vigorously, died powerlessly.
“Pretty love!”
As he frantically wielded the claymore, he couldn’t see a wild boar walking around in front of Siwoon before he knew it.
All corpses are lying on the floor.
“Whoa….”
[Your level has risen.]
A blue orb exploded around Siwoon, releasing a level up impact.
‘Is it too easy?’
There are no more wild boars to hunt.
Siwoon walked further into the meadow.
As you continue to walk through the weedy grass, you will see trees lined with coconuts.
Insects are buzzing and crawling between the rocks on the floor.
At that time.
“Keureueung….”
I hear a more angry sound than before.
From noble mtl dot com
Siwoon looked in the direction of the sound.
The grass as tall as a person swayed from side to side like waves.
Something was approaching through the grass.
Something huge, different from the wild boars.
“Kruuaaa.”
Something walking with a thumping noise was certainly incomparably bigger than the wild boars just now.
‘… Who is that guy?’
Something approaching has made its appearance.
It was a wild boar.
By the way… Big was too big.
The wild boar, which had the size of a bear and walked out with veins running through its entire body whenever it moved, was a giant wild boar.
As the giant wild boar approached right in front of me, Siwoon was so big that the boar’s shadow completely covered Siwoon.
“Kaaang!”
The giant wild boar opened its mouth the size of a crocodile’s snout and let out a scream.
[Lv. 15 Great Boar.]
‘… It’s seriously big.’
Siwoon felt intimidated for a moment.
Because he was not strong enough, and the wild boar in front of him was too big.
I had to bend my head to look up.
“Kruang, Kwaaang!”
The wild boar glared at Siwoon, wagging her nostrils.
The giant wild boar’s eyes had neither white nor black eyes, and were all red.
I felt the air around me change.
It was creepy.
‘It’s a bit scary. It’s my first time dealing with a guy like that….’
That’s right.
While playing the game, a powerful boss mob suddenly flashed in the game! When they appear, there is a moment of tension.
However, what appeared in front of Siwoon was not a monster in the game, but a real giant monster.
I couldn’t help but feel nervous.
The Great Boar is warming up by bending her neck back and forth.
‘Did you come all the way here killing my own people in a riot? Get ready to die.”
“… After, relax.”
First of all, there was something I needed to try right away.
“The inventory window opens.”
Clock!
I immediately put the Claymore into my inventory.
Siwoon clenched his fists without a weapon.
I was thinking of dealing with that ignorant giant wild boar with my bare fists.
His eyes went dark.
‘I’ll try it this time.’
