Outer (2)
After eating and forcing myself to sleep, it was eleven in the afternoon when I woke up.
It’s time to move slowly. I packed up my gear and backpack and went out of the house. The owner was dozing with his chin on his chin, and there were very few people walking around outside, but it wasn’t a concern.
“Okay. Shall we go?”
I made up my mind and quietly went out of the base.
First, we had to move about two hours north from this base. In the immediate vicinity, a secret gate that opens only for five minutes from two in the morning appears. It’s not hard to find, but the fact that it hasn’t been discovered yet is a space that exists for the main character.
Taking care not to get lost, he continued to move toward the north along the paved road. When encountering monsters, he had to avoid battle, so his movement was delayed more than expected due to his concentration.
‘Woo-wook…, slap me.’
With my F-grade stamina, I started to get tired very quickly. If the endurance rating wasn’t C++, I might have stretched out and gave up.
‘It was good that we moved about an hour faster.’
On the way, I took out a chocolate bar and an ionized drink from my backpack and added sugar. He is mentally exhausted from continuing to focus mana on his eyes for vision in the dark. I wanted to rest like this for a while, but time was running out, so I just finished replenishing the sugar and got up again.
After walking for another hour and thirty minutes, I saw the moonlight illuminating the floor in a round shape from the middle of the forest in the distance.
‘There.’
I checked the time, wondering if I was late, and it was now 1:57 in the morning. It had arrived at a tight time.
I took a seat near the lighted area and waited. Eventually, at two o’clock in the morning, the moonlit space began to gradually distort. Whoa! A blue circle was slowly drawn in the air, and the inside was illuminating another place.
“Okay.”
The entrance to Hidden Street appeared.
I glanced back one last time and entered the circle. ssuk. As the body passed, the entrance disappeared with a small sound, and the back was blocked by a wall.
‘Ten minutes from now.’
I pulled out my gun. This Hidden Street is only maintained for ten minutes. You have to hurry, but the monsters inside the dungeon are stronger than the monsters outside, so you had to be careful.
special dungeon. It’ll be even stronger if it’s hardcore. If even one person sticks to it, it will probably die. Still, there is a reason why I came here.
‘It’s a necessary speedrun course for early growth.’
I don’t know how to catch them all, but I know how to break them quickly.
When I went inside, paying attention to the sound of footsteps, there were many demonic beasts that looked red. It was barely visible from the distance, but he sniffed to see if he had already entered the recognition range.
‘now.’
His body became transparent when he covered his whole body with a ‘shabby cloak’ and breathed in mana. The demonic beasts followed the traces of the lost smell and began to slowly approach me.
as many as fourteen. That number was approaching right in front of us. I slowly moved my body against the wall. And the moment they passed me, I pulled back my cloak and started running.
‘I believe in Endurance C++!’
It’s easy to wake up quickly.
After wearing stealth gear, skip the mobs as much as possible and run straight to the boss. If you can’t find equipment with a stealth effect, you have to run while filling it with potions.
‘It’s unreasonable to die the moment even one hit.’
I’m glad I was able to purchase a cloak with stealth effect. As soon as I started running, a horrific cry rang through the cave. At the sound of chasing footsteps, he reached back and pulled the trigger.
[Special. 30 – The effect of ‘Gun Master’ is activated.]
[Increasing and correcting related abilities when using firearms]
Tang Tang! Empty one magazine in an instant. There was a sound of light and pain from the explosion. He immediately changed the magazine and aimed the gun straight ahead. The demons marked in red in front of me were running towards me.
“Kiiiiiii!”
okay. I thought there would be another. Otherwise, it’s not hardcore. Fortunately, he was lucky to be a goblin rather than a beast, and he stretched out his arm and shot into the air. Whoops! The moment the bullet’s explosion lit up the dark cave, I quickly wrapped my cloak around my body and drained my mana.
[Stealth]
and ran
Mana began to drain out rapidly, but I kept running, hoping that the magic would hold up. Before long, a large, lit space appeared, and she flew her body towards it.
That play! The entrance on the side of the passage we had just passed began to close with a stone door.
“KIIIIIIAAK@@@K!!!”
thud! From afar, the demons found me belatedly and started running, but the entrance had already been closed with a stone door.
“Ugh. It’s going to be hard.”
Without a moment to catch his breath, he immediately stood up.
[JOUPuu····.]
The owner of this cave, lying at the far end, the ghost ‘Giant Bear’, was slowly getting up, tossing and turning as if he felt it. It was so big that when I got up, a shadow covered me up to where I was standing. It would have been 10m in the setting, but it seems to be bigger than that in terms of feeling. Is it because of your size?
“Did you sleep well?”
I started shooting right away with my greetings.
However, because it was not an ordinary beast, it was a beast, so it did not receive any damage except for a little scorching of its thick fur.
tick.
Perhaps one magazine was quickly emptied, and the bullet does not come out even when the trigger is pulled.
As he hurriedly pulled out the empty magazine, a huge bear began to rush towards him as if he was aiming for the gap.
‘What is it, did you increase your intelligence to the point of being hardcore?’
It came close to my nose in only five steps and opened my mouth violently to bite me.
[Kkkkkkk―――Wwaa!!!!]
But there is something he doesn’t know.
That I don’t need a reload or anything like that.
Blue energy leaked out as the pistol was aimed at the open mouth in the slowed time. Eventually, the bullet explodes.
Aww!!!
A blue light flashed from the bear’s mouth, and black smoke flowed out with a burnt smell. It is seen that the color of his eyes is turned upside down in shock. I kept pulling the trigger without missing the moment.
【Remaining amount: 76%】
【Remainder: 45%】
【Remainder: 29%】
The system alerted me that my mana levels kept dropping, but I didn’t care.
【Residual amount: 0%】
[Enhancement is canceled by consuming all mana.]
profit-!
As smoke rose from the overheated gun, the bear with a hole in its head fell to the floor with a thud.
‘Isn’t it supposed to be broken?’
I wondered if I had just used it too much, but it’s still beneficial to save it without using a sword. I carefully put the heated pistol into the holster and approached the corpse.
At that time, somehow, the privilege was activated again.
‘Why is this-“
What this meant was very simple.
Meaning that the battle phase is not over yet. It only took a very short moment before I realized it.
─#$$!@@!
Already, it was spewing bright red eyes and wielding its huge front paws.
pudding!
As a heavy shock pounded his entire body, a dizzying sound resounded in his head.
“Hey. You guys do it.”
The student council president, Astiel Grand, said with a tired expression. She stood with her and her desk between her and two students in a resting position. It was Oh Yun-seong with a confident expression and Hong Jae-yu with a face that he did not know why he was here.
“It’s not a compliment, so I can’t thank you.”
Gran’s eyes were dead, probably from fatigue, and dark dark circles were drawn around his eyes. It had been a long time since she lost her luster and became brittle, the white hair that she was proud of, which had clearly shone.
Gran fluttered her cumbersome nunnery and leaned over on the comfy chair.
“eww. weary, weary Why is this academy entrusted to students so much?”
“That’s the president, isn’t it?”
Said the clerk with glasses, sitting next to him, handling the pile of papers. She looked at the scene as if tired of Grand.
“Yeah. That’s weird! Does it make sense to hand over the level of autonomy that punishes students to students? I, the eldest, am only 19 years old.”
“Well, we are not ordinary students, but aspiring heroes who need to develop a sense of responsibility. Wouldn’t it be better to guarantee this level of autonomy?”
Oh Yoon-seong nodded at the calm clerk’s words.
“I agree with that.”
“I’m sorry. If the superiors don’t like it, they say this and that, but what about autonomy… Yeah, Yoon-Sung Oh. Then, even if I decide the punishment I want, would you agree with it?”
“Anyway, punishment is impossible at the president’s discretion. Besides, I only acted ‘lead’ to the students who lowered the dignity of Yoosung Academy.”
“Hey, the horse. And since when was it a good idea to break your face?”
ha. With a sigh, Gran grabbed her brow and waved her hand up and down her.
“Yeah. As you said, we should have a meeting first. You can both go now. I’ll call you later.”
“Okay. Then…”
“Oh, and Hong Jae-yu?”
Hong Jae-yu, who was about to leave before Oh Yoon-seong, stopped and looked at Gran. Unlike her before, her Gran opened her mouth with a rather serious expression.
“You keep talking about you from above. Am I still not punished for being a fan of an instructor?”
“…does that sound come out?”
“It’s just a whistle of wizards. Anyway, it might be troublesome if you keep getting noticed like this.
“…I’ll be careful.”
“Yeah. You go too.”
widely. As the door of the student council closed, there was silence. Of course, I could hear a muffled sound right outside the door, but the soundproofing of the student council was good enough to block out any conversations in front of me.
Gran muttered as he placed a blessing on his body to recover from fatigue.
“Sup. Seo Ji-han…? I’ve heard it a lot. Where did you hear it?”
The clerk accepted the self-talk with a mechanical stamp.
“He was also the culprit of the recent suicide incident, and he was that guy at the time, right?”
“That guy?”
“I told the president that it was a goal-empty year…”
remembered
“·······This is a foul.”
I wonder if the ‘brightening’ pattern was added.
[Special. 71 – The effect of ‘Still Hide and Stick’ is active.]
[Does not die instantly with a fatal blow, can act temporarily for any injuries. /D-30]
When I woke up, my body was nailed to the wall of the cave. The shock seemed to have taken him out of consciousness for a moment. As I struggled to raise my head, from afar, a bear running towards me with blood flowing in it.
I managed to grab hold of my hazy consciousness and rummaged through my backpack. Soon two glass bottles were in their hands. Fortunately, the potion was not broken and there was only gold on the surface when it was taken out in a hurry.
‘Luxury brands have a strong bottle…’
I think I’ve hurt my head, so in a moment of urgency, useless thoughts come to mind. He sprinkled a bottle of potion over his head and drank the rest. Then the pain got worse, but it was a pleasant pain that I could move my body.
I staggered up and drew my sword.
[Sword mixed with impurities]
This weapon, purchased with a large sum of money, is a japtem level sword that is not even named. An item that is mixed with iron and impurities and its durability is so low that it will break if used once or twice. However, the reason the price is high is because it contains a very small amount of ‘Mithril’ mixed together.
It is so small and scattered that it is impossible to get a mithril through disassembly, but it still retains its properties.
The property of absorbing mana.
It boasts the strongest ‘cutting power’ to the extent that there is nothing that cannot be cut as much as the moment it absorbs mana.
woohoo! A blue light began to flicker from the sword. At this distance, his pattern is…
‘rush.’
The furious bear accelerated further and began to run. Its momentum alone is overwhelming. But he did not avoid it and took a stance.
It’s hard to stand up. Pain with every movement. unstable posture. The perks forcefully correct them. I grabbed the handle with both hands and murmured.
“I’ve caught you more than three hundred times.”
As soon as his face came close to his nose, he lowered his body and swung his sword. Awesome-! A sharp sound passes through the back of his head, and he feels a heavy weight on the handle. A hot and fishy liquid splashes on your face with the vibrations from the sword body. It made me realize that I was cutting something.
Koo!
When the sword finally stopped resisting, the chunks cut from his back fell to the floor and shook the ground.
“Kuuuuuuuuuuuu.”
I dropped the cracked sword and shook my hand. I’m glad I didn’t miss it…
As soon as he turned around to steal blood, the fishy smell and spilled organs attacked his senses of sight and smell. Before the now-activated perk expired, he hurriedly entered between the corpses. Enduring the disgusting smells, I searched through the flesh, and soon found something shiny.

* If the freshness is lost, the effect will decrease.
*It seems that you can see a better effect when refining.
Once the first objective was to acquire the elixir. It was flashing red as if it were precious. There wasn’t much time left until ten minutes, so I hurriedly went to the place where the bear was sleeping with my rags.
‘In the beginning, people thought that the only thing they could get on this Hidden Street was an elixir.’
But no. If you look around without getting impatient in ten minutes, you can find another hidden piece.
“···found.”
Before long, I lifted a piece of iron the size of my palm from its nest.
[Soul Season]
Iron that can contain the soul. It can freely change its shape at will.
The first piece to watch ‘True Ending’.
it came into my hands
