31. man of light (1)
I respect you.
Currently in his mid-thirties, his real name is Gu Ssang-hyo, and he is a D-class hunter by old school standards.
Not from the same school as me.
He is a so-called education center hunter who has been trained at a specialized educational institution and has obtained a hunter qualification.
Only now, whether they are from schools or education institutes, unless they are Awaken, they are all treated as old-fashioned.
What happened to that jonnaennon?
Some say he is dead, others say he is alive.
One thing is for sure, John Naenon used his fame from the bulletin board to give lectures, and like those people, he became more famous for being famous, so he raised money with a pitchfork.
Disappointment with the bulletin board may have been disappointing in the background of being able to give out the lion’s roar of “Nugeumma” when criticized by the bulletin board for unauthorized perm, but enormous wealth must have taken up a large share.
By the time I returned to the bulletin board, John Naennon was no longer giving lectures or anything like that.
According to rumors, our teacher Jonnaenon is servicing a customized destructionist package dealing with chaebol and powerful people.
The wealthy Jonnaenon completely disappeared after the war.
Some speculated that the interested seed must have bought a new account and was operating as a sub account, but no one has identified who the sub account was.
Two years and five months have passed since the war began.
When the long and terrible cold wave passed and spring, colder than usual, arrived, my role model, whom I thought I would never see, appeared out of nowhere like magic.
SKELTON: Who are you? You’re the first to see it. You don’t even have a single article.
SKELTON: (Skelton) Are you by any chance?
Message from 183cm88kg18cm : This account is John Naenon’s sub account. But I’m not a john naenon. It’s his burden.
SKELTON: (Skelton surprised) Do you have a subordinate?
A message from 183cm88kg18cm: (Johnnaenon subordinate): Johnnaenon wants to see you.
Anyway, what is this friend’s nickname?
If it’s Jonnaenon, you can say it’s Johnnaenon’s sense, but was he that tall?
I don’t think it’s a light weight for what you wrote as a boast, but even if you grow muscles, can you maintain it in this era?
Above all, what is 18cm? how…?
Can a man go mad even before the war?
Either way, the author, who said he was using Jonnaenon’s sub-account, gave me room for many things to think about.
First of all, Jonnaenon seems to be in Seoul.
I’ll let you know the exact location if you want.
But why did a person called a subordinate, who was not even the person he respected, send me an insinuating message now?
I asked this 18-centimeter friend about the situation, but he avoided answering, saying that he was the one who sent the message on behalf of Jonnaenon.
What John Naenon wanted seemed to be meeting me.
But now, at a time when pioneers are spreading everywhere, moving?
Uneasy.
It’s not like the government is controlling the roads like before, and moving at this time when everything is chaotic can lead to death.
SKELTON: I’m very sorry, but I don’t think I can go. The situation is too dangerous right now.
I sent a message to another user while politely sending a rejection message.
Opponent is Fox Game.
He is a game developer who made a Christmas tree decoration in the past.
SKELTON: I have a favor.
In the past, I wouldn’t have even tried.
He is a named user and I am the lowest user along with Unicorn 18.
However, due to the edgy incident, my position has risen considerably and I have gained my own confidence.
Message from Foxgames: You want to know who put messages on the tree the year before last?
As expected, Fox Games readily complied with my request.
My request is nothing.
It is asking me to find out the identity of the user who put decorations on my Christmas tree.
I didn’t run last year, but the year before last, someone put a decoration called “Jonnaenon” on my tree.
I was curious, but didn’t really care.
It was an anonymous decoration, and I had a little acquaintance with Jonnaenon, and I thought I could have put such a message on it by imitating Johnnaenon.
However, since a human claiming to be a subordinate of the disappeared Jonnaenon has appeared, it is necessary to check.
After a while, Foxgame informed me of the identity of the user who sent the message.
A message from Foxgames: 183 cm blah blah blah. Who is it? 18cm? What are you doing?
Accurate. It is the same 18 cm that sends and receives messages with me now.
Feeling the affection of the bulletin board after a long time, I expressed my gratitude to him.
SKELTON: (Thanks Skelton) Thank you.
Message from Foxgames: There Skelton. There’s something I’d like to ask about this as well.
SKELTON: ?
What do you want to ask me?
What do you want to ask?
With half worry and half expectation, Fox Games sent a message.
A message from Foxgames: I’ve been feeling this for a while, don’t you think the community is slowing down? Compared to the early days, it seems to have been cut in half.
SKELTON: It definitely slowed it down. You can’t upload videos in high definition anymore. But isn’t it inevitable?
A message from Foxgames: It seems like traffic has suddenly increased lately. There is no traffic on our side, so is it possible to intrude from the outside? I heard that this place is satellite-based, but it is not a closed network and is connected to the external internet.
It is true that the community has slowed down.
But isn’t it enough to be able to write and post pictures even if it’s a bit slow?
It’s heartbreaking that I can’t upload Skelton’s beatbox series, but I think it’s a bit shameless to hope that only the bulletin board will be fine in a time when everything is declining.
However, there was another reason why Fox Games was sensitive to speed.
A message from Foxgames: We’re preparing a trump game. It’s a low-level MMORPG, but I don’t know how the Starlink server works. So we talked.
It’s an MMORPG.
Is it like an online game played by several people?
I don’t really like games, so I don’t know, but it’s probably quite popular to say that the Fox game that gave satisfaction with a small game is a trump game.
It will be a great help to our users who are getting tired day by day.
Anyway, I found out the identity of the person who decorated the most important tree.
I respect you. he was here

Jonnaenon’s survival is surprising.
But it didn’t really touch my heart, and I thought it was nothing to make a fuss about.
What can I say, it’s cool.
The reality was too harsh to cling to past role models.
Jo Sung-yong never found my territory, but drones appeared in the sky from time to time and ominous gunfire erupted from the north.
The frequency of the gunshots was low, but the pattern of distant sounds from different directions suggested a confrontation between two presumably hostile groups.
The sniper seemed to be uneasy as well, so he sent messages every day to ask about the situation here.
Message from COOKIEMONSTER18: Skeleton! me su! The north is noisy. What’s up?
It is the daughter who sends the message.
The mother is not good at writing and cannot speak Korean properly, so her smart daughter asks how she is doing on her behalf.
This is what I asked for.
Rebecca does not have a personal identification number, so she communicates on a public frequency without any fuss.
But you won’t be able to eavesdrop on encrypted satellite signals.
SKELTON: I don’t know, but it seems like people are fighting each other. Have enough food?
Message from COOKIEMONSTER18: Yes. But it all goes away slowly.
SKELTON: What about bullets?
Message from COOKIEMONSTER18: Lots of bullets.
SKELTON: How about a Javelin? There’s no re-discharging or anything like that?
Message from COOKIEMONSTER18: No problem! long for mom to get one.
SKELTON: Do you want something to eat?
Message from COOKIEMONSTER18: Juicy – One thing.
SKELTON: You mean juicy?
Message from COOKIEMONSTER18: Yes!
It is said that communication through text has its limits.
It’s true that it’s convenient, but it’s a half-conversation because it can’t convey the emotions and warmth contained in the voice.
However, if you are not accustomed to the warmth of the other person, wouldn’t it be better to talk with a little wall?
Isn’t the structure similar to the confession right now?
I think it was a good thing that I brought the scholar’s laptop and satellite equipment.
It’s a neighbor, but it feels like closing the gap with the sniper’s family, who had a distance.
But that is not the only gift from scholars.
A message from COOKIEMONSTER18: The southeast is dyed with a strange light.
Being connected to the Internet is in line with being able to transmit pictures that cannot be conveyed only with a warm voice.
Sue sent me a picture.
“…”
For a moment I couldn’t believe my eyes.
From nob le mt l dot com
Gray-white lights bleakly illuminated the darkness in the abandoned forest.
it’s a monster
The monster has advanced to the bottom of my territory and is encroaching around my territory.
where did it come from
You can come from anywhere.
A total of 4 cracks appeared in Korea.
It appeared in Paju, Yangsan, Gochang, and Jeju.
The situation in Yangsan and Gochang is better than in Paju.
Not only was the intensity of the rift itself low, but the local army chose the path of becoming a local warlord, sticking to its own frontline without getting caught up in civil war.
That monster must have come from the north.
No, maybe it came straight from North Korea.
SKELTON: When did this happen?
Message from COOKIEMONSTER18: Two days ago.
two days
Not long ago.
The monsters observed in the sniper’s area will be small species – sedentary type.
Only Jeong Joo-hyung can build a nest and survive against the will of the Earth.
The scariest part of a monster is not its combat power.
Their danger comes from their very existence.
There is a good example that was taught in school.
Humans have built factories in some places.
The factory emitted soot and wastewater, and the animals and plants that lived around it died and disappeared.
The factory didn’t kill animals and plants because they tried to kill them.
In the process of turning the factory and producing goods, they all died naturally.
It’s similar.
Monsters try to dye everything around them with their colors.
Mutation is the most common otherworldly color.
Kyle Doss went crazy because his mind absorbed the colors of the other world.
Having something like that close to my area is something I shouldn’t neglect.
It is said that if left alone, the surrounding area could erode faster than Seoul.
I know that the Xinjiang rift expanded thousands of times faster than China’s Beijing rift.
SKELTON: I’ll go now. tell mom not to shoot
Message from COOKIEMONSTER18: Mom, I’m taking a nap on the computer all night 🙁

The monsters that hunters of the old era mainly dealt with were small species.
Most are torn to shreds with no time to do anything in the face of overwhelming firepower, usually accompanied by long-range artillery fire, but some have broken into positions thanks to teleportation or luck.
When they infiltrate our camp, there are few ways to use it.
This is because it blocks our means of attack with its unique reflective force field.
When the soldiers are in trouble, our hunters are active.
Hunters are not soldiers.
To a seasoned soldier, cover is another expression of survival, but to us hunters, cover is like closing your eyes in front of a flying knife.
Hunter’s hunting requires very organic teamwork, sophisticated skills without a single error, and above all, a lot of guts.
Like the gunners of Joseon who dealt with a tiger the size of a house with a spherical matchlock, we risk our lives and luck every moment to kill human enemies without closing our eyes in the face of death.
Once considered top notch in the realm, there are few small species that I cannot handle.
Most can be killed alone once the conundrum of access is solved.
Lucky for you, Viva! Apocalypse! Thanks to that, I found the monster early.
The time it takes for a monster to build a camp is usually 15 days.
Once their encampment is established, not only is it difficult to break through, but access itself is blocked.
But if it’s two days, or a week at the latest, it’s worth trying.
That’s why I ran out of the air-raid shelter with Cho Sung-yong’s drone still roaming around and no one knows when the pioneers will come.
“excuse me!”
Rebecca pointed her eyes at a mountain area four kilometers from her territory.
On the surface, there is nothing wrong with it.
It is certainly.
recently settled down.
Rebecca is an excellent sniper, but has no experience fighting monsters.
Therefore, she is of no help.
Maybe her sniping skills could kill her.
this is my fight
What I do best and what I want most.
With only two well-honed axes, he slowly approached the area.
If you go to the depths, you can see that the branches are rolled up in a strange shape.
is the effect of erosion.
There will be human enemies out there.
With one exception, I’ll kill him and get out.
“…”
I am watching.
A statue that seemed to be buried as if dead among the withered winter trees.
It looks like a mantis with a big awl stuck in its front legs, a sharp triangular lower body half buried in the ground, and a long grayish white head with no traces of eyes, nose and mouth, or any organs that we feel.
It took just one exception.
Dancer type.
He’s the only one I can’t kill in close combat.
No, maybe you can kill it.
But I don’t want to bet everything on the 5% chance.

“…”
Personal Identification Number: REDMASK
Fifteen minutes had passed since I entered my personal identification number and stared at the walkie-talkie.
Right now, the only thing I can realistically open my hands to is Woo Min-hee.
only she can help me
What I need is an anti-monster weapon called Hunter equipment, but if she comes herself, she will be able to tear the monster apart by herself.
she is awakened
It is also a high-level psychic ability holder that reaches level 12.
But I’m not stupid enough to not know what it means to open my hand to her.
She is not Daram Kim.
He is no longer the Daram Kim whose voice I vaguely remember.
“…”
I connected to the community to catch my breath for a while.
With the intention of reading something interesting, soothing your mind, and refining your thoughts.
A message had arrived.
Message from 183cm88kg18cm: I’m very sorry, but John Naenon is eager to see Skelton.
“f*ck.”
Are you a person who is called a subordinate of Jonnaenon again?
If we had more time, we would have talked about something.
But not now.
he is a man of the past
cannot solve the current problem.
I made unreasonable demands because I didn’t want to contact him anymore.
SKELTON: If you give me the hunter equipment, I’ll think about it.
A message from 183cm88kg18cm: Hunter equipment?
SKELTON : Mk-7 Harpoonizer
Just to be sure, I even filled in the exact model I wanted.
If you say something else, I will block you.
Right now I’m in a very sensitive state.
A message from 183cm88kg18cm: I heard there is?
