Chapter 402 – 402. The Strange World of the Hunter
402. Hunter’s Strange World
Last few days.
I used hacking to find out a lot about Park Soo-ho.
However, little information was found.
First of all, Park Soo-ho’s family relationship.
His parents died in a dungeon collapse two years ago, and his younger sister is in a coma and slowly dying, being cursed by Baek-taek, an A-class monster. If you don’t continue to neutralize the curse with a neutralizing agent, you will die without lasting a month.
The problem is that the neutralizer of Baektaek’s curse is expensive, and it is almost impossible for ordinary people to shake off Baektaek’s curse. In order to completely remove the curse, you need the power of an S-class sergeant.
‘Currently, Park Soo-ho’s debt is a little over 100 million won.’
Park Soo-ho entered Kukcheon University because of a scholarship. He wanted the reputation of Park Soo-ho, who was called the hero of Changwon, from the standpoint of Kukcheon University.
‘My friendship was cut off two years ago when I dropped out of high school…. I haven’t been to school except for the entrance ceremony.’
Park Soo-ho was entering the dungeon every day. Because he needed money. The strange thing is that he saved up money to buy a lot of flour or farming tools.
‘… If there is something about Park Soo-ho, there is only one. An ability acquired while awakening.’
Ha Seung-hee probably doesn’t know exactly what Park Soo-ho’s abilities are. It’s just a level of suspicion that it’s a special ability.
‘How amazing is that ability that Ha Seung-hee is interested in?’

Goblin cave
It is an F-class open dungeon. As the name suggests, goblins, which are F-class monsters, appear.
It is an unpopular dungeon due to its high humidity and vomit-inducing stench. Unless the hunter is in a hurry for money, he doesn’t bother looking for this dungeon.
I confirmed Park Soo-ho went into the Goblin Cave and entered after 3 minutes. The association staff guarding the dungeon entrance tilted its head.
“… Mr. Seong Yujin? You’re a C-class hunter, what are you doing here?”
“I needed goblin poison, so I came to get it myself.”
The staff stared me in the face.
“… Please don’t cause trouble in the dungeon.”
“Nothing like that.”
As soon as I entered the dungeon, I felt the stench. Kill the presence and enter the cave.
I found Park Soo-ho. He was hunting goblins with a shortsword. I was surprised to see his movements. It’s been a while since he awakened, so he must have never received proper combat training.
“Keuk!”
The goblin lunged at her, sticking out her claws. Park Soo-ho responded calmly. First, she turned her body to the side to avoid the attack, then counterattacked with a short sword aiming at the goblin’s heart.
Park Soo-ho proceeded to kill the goblins step by step in this way.
And three goblins appeared at the same time.
‘Three goblins are too much for an F-class hunter who has just awakened. The answer is to run away and fight in a narrow place in the back.’
However, Park Soo-ho moved differently than I thought.
Heheld out his left hand, which was not holding a weapon. He had a tattoo of complex shapes on his left wrist.
“Fireball!”
A ball of fire appeared from Park Soo-ho’s palm and flew toward the goblin. Perong! The fireball exploded and three goblins died instantly.
‘Magic?! Park Soo-ho used magic?!’
No. It’s still too early to be sure it’s magic. When Park Soo-ho used magic, he couldn’t feel the mana. Maybe it’s Park Soo-ho’s ability.
“Thank you. Elisha. Thanks to your help.”
Park Soo-ho muttered as he collected the goblin’s magic stones. Judging by the way he spoke, he couldn’t be said to be talking to himself. If that’s just talking to yourself, you must have a mental illness.
‘…… Is someone hiding? Are you fooling my eyes? It can’t be.’
It’s inside the dungeon, so it’s impossible to talk on the phone. Are there any colleagues I don’t know?
“It’s not overbearing. You guys should get stronger too. That side is also for you… What?”
Park Soo-ho hesitated.
He suddenly turned around and pointed his shortsword at me. Hiding behind the wall, I held my breath.
“Who are you! Everyone knows what’s hiding behind the wall! Come out!”
I don’t know how the hell he noticed my presence. Is it possible to become an F-class hunter?
After thinking for a while, I showed up to Park Soo-ho.
“Yu-senior Yujin!?”
“A long time. Park Soo-ho.”
“Senior, how….”
“I came because I needed goblin poison… I saw something strange. How did you use the fireball? You are not a wizard And didn’t you tell me the other day that it was a physical strengthening ability?”
“That, that….”
Park Soo-ho was visibly embarrassed. Eyes roll around. I guess I didn’t expect to meet someone I knew here.
“Well, if you don’t want to talk. If you ask other people, there will be someone who knows. As for the moving tattoos.”
It was the moment I turned my back.
“Elisha! No!”
A fireball flew towards me.
I used the moment to dodge the fireball. Then, he approached Park Soo-ho in an instant and grabbed his neck.
“Are you just trying to kill me? Did you freak out because you wanted to die? Park Soo-ho.”
“Cheuk! No! I didn’t! Seniors! This… !”
“Please explain properly so that I can understand. Park Soo-ho.”
As he growled, Park Soo-ho nodded his head in fright.

Tattoo world.
It was Park Soo-ho’s ability.
Park Soo-ho was connected to the other world through tattoos. He could send food and tools to other worlds, and he could use other world powers. It was also the ability to go directly to another world.
‘He has all these abilities.’
I looked at Park Soo-ho’s body. Park Soo-ho’s body was covered with tattoos except for his hands, feet, head, and neck. There was a sun on his right wrist, a mountain on his abs, and a town on his heart.
There were fields and caves on the back.
“… I think I saw this somewhere Well.”
“A web game?”
“Right. It’s a web game. It’s a web game that develops the town.”
“Yes. I also thought of that at first. And… It’s not much different. The more I develop this tattoo world, Veroprine City to be precise, the stronger I become proportionately.”
I stared at Park Soo-ho’s right shoulder. Merchants driving wagons were moving towards the chest.
“Are you sick or not?”
“Yes. It doesn’t hurt.”
“What about that fireball?”
“It is the magic of Elisha, the mayor of Veroprine. With Elisha’s permission, you can use her powers. Earlier, I threw a fireball at my senior… It was Elisha’s will, not mine.”
“That’s okay and if you can get into the tattoo world, can I too?”
“That… I don’t know exactly because I haven’t tried it.”
“Try it. Instead, I won’t say a word to anyone about your abilities. What do you think?”
“Are you really not telling anyone?”
“Okay.”
“… You may fail. It’s the first time I’m taking someone else into the world of tattoos.”
“Try it. You can go too, so I won’t be able to go either.”
“Yes. Just give me your hand.”
“…….”
Holding hands with a man made me feel bad, but I held out my hand. Because I was really curious about his ability.
Park Soo-ho took my hand, closed his eyes, and began to concentrate. His tattoos started to glow and Park Soo-ho and I entered the world of tattoos.
I saw a clear blue sky and a floating sky.
Park Soo-ho and I appeared in a place resembling a village in the Middle Ages. As soon as the villagers saw Park Soo-ho, they bowed their heads and greeted him. I could see how much they respect Park Soo-ho.
And someone ran towards us. She was a blonde beauty wearing a white robe. Her breasts are D cups and her waist is cinched.
“Mayor! Welcome! And… Even the mayor’s guests.”
“Elisha. The person next to me is a college senior. Not an enemy.”
“… Sorry. I was the one who attacked you thinking you were the enemy.”
Elisha bowed her head to me. He quietly kissed her lips on her white breasts.
“No. I wasn’t behaving well either. And… I never thought I would be connected to a real other world.”
“Senior. Are you keeping your promise? Please keep this a secret….”
“I will. Can I look around the world instead?”
“Yes. Sure.”
Guided by Park Soo-ho and Elisha, I looked around this world, to be precise, the city of Veroprine ruled by Park Soo-ho.
Outside the city were mines and rice fields. Beyond was a forest thick with trees.
“Suho. Is time outside stopped?”
“Yes? No. Time passes equally.”
“Okay? Is there no other world?”
“A different world?”
“If you don’t have it, don’t.”
It was very different from the game life app, which is my ability.
And there was not much to see in this world. Rather, the world of ‘Baekhwan’ had more things to see and enjoy.
“… Suddenly the city is in an uproar. … This. A fight broke out!”
“Mayor! Dangerous!”
Park Soo-ho and Elisha ran to stop the fight. Taking advantage of that gap, I took out the space movement order book from my inventory.
‘Saving coordinates… Does it work? Can you come here with a space transfer order from outside?’
It seemed worth experimenting with.
Afterwards, we went to Park Soo-ho’s house in the city and had dinner.
“Is Elisha Suho’s lover?”
“Oh, you are a lover. The mayor and I are not like that.”
“… Yes.”
Elisha quickly shook her head in denial, and Park Soo-ho smiled dejectedly.
I realized they love each other. However, I had no intention of stepping in and improving their relationship.
“You can only come into this world once every three days, roughly four hours?”
“Yes. According to Elisha, if her abilities develop further… I hope I can stay longer.”
“Can’t you take Elisha outside?”
“I tried, but… It’s too bad.”
“Okay. Thanks for watching today. I’m thinking of going back soon, okay?”
“Yes. You can go back with me.”
Afterwards, after having dinner and saying hello to Elisha, I went out with Park Soo-ho. We were in a goblin cave.
“Whoa. Seniors. Please keep the secret of my ability.”
“As promised, I won’t tell anyone. But it looks like Ha Seung-hee is watching you. Why?”
“…… The other day, when an accident occurred in Changwon, they gave me something from the tattoo world.”
“Thing?”
“A perfume that hides itself from monsters. That’s why you’re looking at me.”
“If you have something like that, you can sell it. It will be money.”
“…… According to Elisha, it is difficult to make even one a month at the level of the city.”
“Okay? Anyway I go thanks for your effort.”
“Ah. Yes. Please go in carefully.”

A few hours later
I looked at the space travel order book. It is an order book that sets the coordinates of Park Soo-ho’s tattoo world, the city of Veroprine.
‘Are you going to succeed? Ah, they say Park Soo-ho has the ability to contemplate the world of tattoos… I have to hide my face.’
Wearing a clown mask, I tore up the order book.
I was in Veroprine City. People around me look at me.
‘It’s a success!’
The fact that this is possible is that you can use the space movement scroll to return.
‘Being able to come and go with the space movement order… That the world is connected….’
I shook my head. Let’s think about the troublesome things later. There’s something else that’s important right now.
“Elisha! I’m going to eat now!”
•••
Park Soo-ho lay down on the futon and closed his eyes.
However, sleep never came. Today, he revealed his abilities to others. Even to people I don’t know much about.
‘… Will the old man keep his promise? I don’t think he’s a bad person….’
Park Soo-ho, whose mind was complicated, needed a change of mood. He naturally used his ability to contemplate the tattoo world. He appeared on a screen visible only to him. I could see the world of tattoos through the screen. I can only see
‘Elisha…. What is Elisha doing….’
Park Soo-ho naturally thought of the mansion where Elisha was staying. The screen illuminated the mansion.
‘What if Elisha suddenly takes a shower?’
While thinking such useless thoughts, Park Soo-ho looked for Elisha somewhere in the mansion. Elisha was in the bedroom.
“…… !!”
Elisha was being raped by a man wearing a clown mask on her bed.
-That, stop… ! Haaaaang!
