Episode 051
{Revenge… Help me… If you help me, I will help you…}
Following Won Han-seok’s words, a notification window appeared in front of my eyes.
The grudge in front of you is asking for revenge. If you succeed in taking revenge, you can receive the rewards below.
Reward: Younggil Kim’s Thought Form
Time Limit: Unlimited
Failure Penalty: None
Do you want to accept?
Before blindly accepting, I decided to consult with Seo Ji-han.
“Hey, Seo Ji-han. A notification window popped up. “If you succeed in taking revenge, you will receive Kim Young-gil’s thought form as a reward.”
-What is the time limit?
“There is no time limit and no failure penalty.”
– It’s okay. What is the thought form of Kim Young-gil, the reward?
“Wait. “I’ll see if there are any details.”
After clicking on Kim Young-gil’s thought form item, I was speechless for a moment.
Kim Young-gil’s thought form
details: Kim Young-gil’s thought form, which has received grace, helps you with the power of his lifetime.
Available skills
〈Making a Class A escape stone〉(Active)
〈Making a Class A stat increasing potion〉(Active)
〈Making a Class A general healing potion〉(Active)
Unlike combat skills where the grade is determined upon acquisition, this is a production skill. It is said that the grade increases as it is used more and production skill level increases.
The rating was high, perhaps because it was a production hunter that produced the most consumed items in Korea.
The Chungwang Artillery and Chungwang Thunderstorm that I have are S-class skills, so A-rank seems relatively low, but mine is a special case because I acquired it from a boss.
The highest level of skill that a typical awakened person could reach was Class A.
Compared to most production hunters who have skills ranging from F to D, Kim Yeong-gil’s three A-level skills are truly amazing.
Of course, since it is not an equipment item production skill, high-level equipment items or magic items cannot be produced.
Still, at this level, there is no problem in making essential items used in dungeons.
Rather, it was a more useful skill than anything else as it allowed you to make all the essential items.
“So what are the details…”
When I explained the contents of the notification window, Seo Ji-han even stopped rolling the roll of tape and was shocked. He
then opened his mouth in an extremely serious voice.
– Moa Son.
“Yes?”
– That’s awesome.
“Isn’t that right?”
Fearing that the notification window might disappear, I quickly accepted.
Then, the stone on the floor suddenly trembled.
The vibration became stronger.
“Huh? Why is this happening?”
Seo Ji-han and I both tensed at the sight of this unusual sight and tried to pull back, but suddenly a black energy flowing from the stone poured down on me. – Gather your hands! Seo Ji-han’s voice
calling
my name like a scream. That
was the last thing I heard before losing consciousness. That was it.
When I came to my senses, a groan came out of my mouth even before I could open my eyes. My
arms and back, which had been pressed down because I had been lying in one position for a long time, were very sore. My
blurry vision was only bright.
– Are you conscious?
My voice. I felt like Seo Ji-han was approaching me when I heard it, but I couldn’t see it clearly. I
blinked a few times before I could barely see.
I was lying in the living room.
It was bright outside, so I guess I had been lying like this all night. The shoes I couldn’t take off
and the shoes I couldn’t take off . When I looked at the entrance, I remembered what had happened before I lost consciousness. I had
made a contract with Hanseok Han, and I had been hit by black energy and collapsed. I was
scared because I thought something was wrong, but seeing that I came to my senses like this, I guess it wasn’t that serious.
But Seoji Han must have been very surprised and was restlessly looking at me with his transparent body.
– How are you feeling? Are you okay?
“Ah…”
I opened my mouth to answer something, but a zombie-like sound came out.
What’s wrong with my neck?
As I was clearing my throat in confusion, he gave me the answer.
– I collapsed like that and didn’t open my eyes for two days…
two days?
Two days.
You’ve been lying here like this for two days?
Well, there’s no way I could have lied down after suddenly fainting.
As a result, his left arm was pressed against his torso.
For some reason, my arm felt very numb.
I’m glad it didn’t die.
I tried to open and close my fists to regain my senses.
My entire arm tingled as if electricity was passing through it.
Seo Ji-han, who was looking at me quietly, let out a sigh.
– I thought you were dead.
You must be very surprised.
It was understandable because I was suddenly overcome by a black energy and fell down and did not move for two days.
“Oh, it’s okay. “I feel a little dizzy and weak.”
– First, let’s go to bed and lie down.
It was a good idea.
I wasn’t falling asleep, but after lying on the cold floor for a long time, I needed some cozy bedding.
I took off my coat with my relatively intact right hand, threw it roughly in the living room, and crawled into the bedroom.
As I lay down on the bed, he carefully sat down at my feet.
“Oh, I think I’ll buy something. “Have you heard anything in the past two days?”
I asked Seo Ji-han, thinking he might have found me at the Baekgwang Guild, but he tilted his head.
– I’m not sure because your phone is in your pocket, but a package arrived at your door.
“parcel? Did you order anything? ah. Seo Ji-han’s doll clothes.”
It’s not urgent, so I’ll bring it when I feel better.
My body is shaking like real pain.
“Anyway, where did Won Han-seok go? “Have you cleaned it up?”
– no. I do not remember? It seeped into your body. I think it was because of the shock that you fainted.
“Ugh. “My body?”
– okay. Rather, check the status window. If the contract with the grudge stone has been completed, it will probably be displayed in the form of a quest.
“Wait.”
When I opened the quest window, I found that just as Seo Ji-han said, an item called Quest: Kim Young-gil’s Revenge had been added.
Oh, it’s amazing.
“There is.”
Watching it again is a huge reward.
Once I complete my revenge, Korea’s best production item producer will help me.
– You said there was no contract failure penalty, right?
“yes.”
– That’s it then.
“Have you received the quest, Seo Ji-han?”
– If you make a soul pledge, it will appear in the quest window. When I was a rookie hunter with no money, I did it a few times while receiving requests. It’s like a quest where you have to hand over a certain amount of by-products in exchange for an escape stone.
Soul pledge.
This is the method used by the company I worked for to prevent item embezzlement by market managers.
If a company item is embezzled, it is usually a form of contract that requires the person to return the item and cough up all the money they have received so far.
Hunters usually hate making soul pledges, so most of them try not to do it, but if they don’t do this, there is nothing the company can do because there is no safety device.
In fact, it was difficult to find a market manager for this reason.
“But it doesn’t even say what the conditions for completing the quest are.”
– Since you said it was revenge, you can just take revenge. It’s a quest that’s great if you can do it, and there’s nothing to lose if you don’t. Don’t stress too much. Rather, take a break.
It was correct in every detail.
I nodded and decided to tackle the urgent problem first instead of doing the endless quest.
Check your phone.
“Missed call. Ah, the delivery man. “Other than that…”
I was worried that I might have received important communication during the two days I was unconscious.
Fortunately, there was no contact from the Baekgwang Guild, and there were messages from my mother and Seungju saying hello, so I finished my reply.
“Ugh, I’m hungry.”
As I came to my senses and my body gradually woke up, the hunger I had forgotten
came rushing in. I was so hungry that my cheeks
were sinking in. – Are you not feeling well? Seo Ji-han must have looked very pitiful for me as I covered myself with a blanket and complained about being hungry, groaning with worry.
I looked in.
“It’s just creepy, like I’m going to get sick.”
– Body aches?
“Yes.”
Seo Ji-han was lost in thought with a slightly troubled expression.
After a while, Seo Ji-han cautiously opened his mouth again.
– I’ve never been in pain, so I don’t know what it feels like.
“You’re saying you’ve never been in pain?”
– Yes.
“Even before awakening?”
– Yes. I was very healthy and exercised for a long time.
“That’s amazing.”
My helpless answer was truly that of a sick person.
He looked at me as if I were the most pitiful person in the world and stood up with a determined look on his face.
– I’m resting.
“Where are you going?”
Even though I wheezed and asked, Seo Ji-han left the room without answering.
I didn’t have the energy to go out and find out what Seo Ji-han was doing outside, so I just lay in bed and blinked. I just didn’t have
any strength and couldn’t sleep.
By the way, Kim Young-gil’s body was there . There must have been an uproar since he disappeared.
With my cheek buried in the pillow, I searched for news on my phone.
But no news about Kim Young-gil’s body appeared.
It seems they decided not to reveal it to the public. Still,
it saved me an hour. I kept
my body as much as possible. I hid it because I said I would, but I wondered what if someone found out.
Son Mo-a stole the body of Hunter Kim Yeong-gil.
If there was even an article like this… Wow, I was horrified even just imagining it.
After confirming that there was no particularly serious news, I I had some simple food delivered to me.
Even though I can’t lift a finger, I can still eat delicious food. It’s a
great world.
But what on earth is Seo Ji-han doing? It
was a bit noisy outside after he left.
I guess . It seemed like he was walking around like a straw doll, but was he looking for the TV remote control?
I didn’t close the door completely when I came in, so the door was ajar, so I looked outside through the gap. I
couldn’t see anything.
My curiosity grew, and I was about to overcome the annoyance. A light rustling sound was heard, and a straw doll came into the room, pushing something.
What the doll was pushing with both arms was a small bowl filled with white rice porridge.
There is no such thing as porridge in our house.
Wait, then, is this Seo Ji-han? Boiled?
How?
“Mr. Seo Ji-han?”
– Lie down. I’ll bring it to you.
That’s what I said, but it was impossible to lift the bowl and bring it to the bed with a straw body that could only push the porridge bowl.
But Seo Ji-han did not give in.
The straw doll’s body held the bowl of porridge. He hugged me and started to rustle as if trying to lift me up.
“What on earth did you do?”
I, who couldn’t see it, got out of bed and picked up the bowl of porridge, and he turned his head as if embarrassed.
– It’s just boiled. Go ahead and eat it.
How on earth did you boil the porridge with that insignificant straw body?
