Hoarding in Hell Novel

Fragments? absorption? Hyunmoo was bewildered by what had suddenly happened.

But that was all. Nothing more happened than this. Hyunmoo thought carefully about what had just happened.

First, the shards of stars. Hyunmoo doesn't know what the hell it is, but he absorbs a stellar shard from Kirsson.

Come to think of it, something similar has happened before.

When you find a backbone in the gym.

Even then, all kinds of stars appeared and watched Hyunmoo.

'Is this worth it?'

He certainly learned the Legendary skill automatically as soon as he absorbed the shards. The legendary skill is nothing more than a reward for absorbing the fragments. But he had never gained anything from absorbing the shards before.

'No. Judging by the name of the fragment... … It may be completed by collecting a certain amount of pieces.'

Broken glass plates, for example, are of no use when they are scattered in one or two shards.

However, if you collect them, you can make a shape that can even function as a plate to some extent. Of course, you'll need something like glue.

The fragments here were the pieces of the glass plate, and the adhesive seemed to be Hyunmoo's own right hand.

In other words, Hyunmoo took the fragment that Kirson had and absorbed it into his right hand.

'I said it was a fragment of Ghaul that was absorbed.'

At that moment, Hyunmoo had something in his mind. The stars had previously persuaded them to become a clan. However, Hyunmoo had left the choice unclear.

"Certainly Kirson, was this guy from Ghaul's family?"

I didn't know that even monsters would be accepted into the family.

But when I think about it, I thought there was nothing that the monsters couldn't do to train, talk, and raise their level.

Even the relatively weak ones like goblins were not as picky as Hyunmoo expected. He was a bit arrogant, but Hyunmoo was weaker than that goblin, so he decided to move on.

'No, I said that the stars do not determine the family based on their strength.'

They said they are looking for people who share their values. So fill the territory with such people and expand it. It seems that Kirson was the right person to share his values ​​with Ghaul.

'But the fact that Ghaul led my hand to absorb it... … .'

He meant that he judged Hyunmoo better than Kirsson.

And just like Montstril, he would be trying to influence himself.

'There are still many unknowns in this world.'

Hyunmoo sighed and stood up. At that moment, Kirsson's body trembled. The moment Hyunmoo was startled, Lenny Ahn, who had been hiding under his body, suddenly appeared.

"it's over?"

"...don't hide in a corpse."

"I was surprised to see you suddenly. Heh."

Are you usually so afraid of the stars? No, he seemed to be a bit insensitive. After all, isn't it like the final boss of this worldview?

However, Lenian was hiding even when fighting mosquito swarms, so it could be seen that he was just afraid of fighting itself. The only moment Lenian became most valiant was when he faced his corpse.Hyunmoo looked at the newly acquired skill and class.

[Family (Legendary): You can only use the person you killed as a family member.]

Again, this is a simple, unkind, and unhelpful explanation.

'It's similar to necromancy because you said that the person you killed is your family.'

However, if necromancy doesn't matter what kind of corpse it is, it feels like it's only applicable to the opponent you've subjugated.

It wasn't a skill that suited Kirson. I don't know if it feels like an assassin or a thief.

It seemed right to think that it was his own unique skill that was created as the fragments were completed, not because of Ghaul. Hyunmoo felt the need to experiment step by step again this time.

"Hey, I need to level up a bit. There's a lot I need to know."

He declared that he would meet with Hwi-So Park after reaching level 20, so he had to achieve at least one goal. Level 20 was also the limit level that one adult Hyunmoo could raise right away.

Hyunmoo checked his level. Unfortunately, the level was one short of 19.

He didn't have to worry. After all, there were a lot of opponents who would raise experience points.

Hyunmoo looked towards the goblin village.

***

Hyunmoo reached level 20 and returned to reality.

This time he was somewhere in the mountains. His city center seemed not too far away. Hyunmoo took a deep breath, taking in plenty of fresh air he had not smelled in a long time.

He didn't have to kill all the villagers. Because he was level 20 before that. He didn't have the experience to climb even if he killed more than the one-star limit level.

It was easy to isolate and catch those who were already shaken just because Kirson had not returned.

'I think it's only about half.'

Leveling up once by killing half of the 100 or so villagers. Considering that he climbed three times after killing Kirson, it's too few.

Hyunmoo seemed to be able to roughly get a feel for the experience. The 'accustomed' object is no longer an experience. On the other hand, the more powerful enemies are overcome, the faster the experience points rise.

Among them, Hyunmoo seemed to have a wide range as he was also receiving additional benefits from the 'I am Legend' title privilege effect.

"Um, but now that I'm stuck at the limit level, what's the point?"

When he was a former miner, he thought he would have no wish even if he had only one star, but when he reached the limit level, he felt out of breath.

He seemed to understand why the retirement rate of hunters who achieved the limit level among 1-star hunters was exceptionally high.

No matter how good your income is, if you think that you can't grow further from that bottom, it will be futile. You might think that it would be better to work in the private sector, where the money is moderately paid.

'I'm sorry, but I was at the limit level before I even made my first dungeon debut.'

Judging by time, Hyunmoo has just over a month since he became a capable man.

Considering that it takes about two years for even a hunter who usually works hard to level up in a dungeon to reach level 20, it's more than a wonder, it's an abnormal situation.

But Hyunmoo had no intention of being honest or hiding his skills. It was more important that he hit the limit level than he thought of the excuse.

'Once the ranks rise, it's not very rare, so I'll have to look for information.'

He'll have to find out about the stars, and he'll have to figure out how to rank up as well. He seemed to be busy for a while. Hyunmoo opened his cell phone and checked how much time had passed.

The cell phone in the inventory was in a state where the battery had not worn out at all, as if time had stopped. But Hyunmoo looked at the date and sighed.

"You timed out."

He proudly declared two weeks to Hwi-so Park, but the result was the 18th.

It's been more than 4 days.

***

When Hyunmoo arrived at Yu-min's house, the lights were off. It was autumn, and although the weather was cool, the inside of the room was chilly.

The TV was turned on, but it was a home shopping show that Yumin would not even be interested in.

Yumin was staring blankly at the TV.

"Yoo-min?"

Yumin's shoulders trembled. She opened her eyes wide and turned to Hyunmoo.

"Oh, is your brother here?"

Yumin's voice trembled. Hyunmoo looked at her condition and said what had happened.

"Are you hungry? I remembered the last time I ate ramen, so I made curry, but it may have gone bad. If it's spoiled, I'll make it again."

Yu-Min got up and tried to head to her kitchen, but she stumbled over. Hyunmoo hastily caught her. Yu-min leaned against Hyunmoo's chest and gasped for her breath.

'It would smell.'

She had changed into new clothes, but she was soaked in sweat and the smell of blood. But she didn't seem to care for Yumin at all. It was the first time she had seen Yu-min, who was always lively, shaken like this.

She said, "...where have you been? She thought she had been attacked somewhere."

"No, well. She said she could be away for a few days."

Hyunmoo didn't make it clear when she returned to Difficulty: Every time she headed to Hell, she never knew when she would return. But this time she took her unusually long.

“But not too long ago, there was a time when I hid it in the car and said that it looked like a suspicious person came, and that uncle Hwi-so Park….”

"Park Hwi-so?"

Hyunmoo cut off Yu-min and asked. Yumin nodded her head.

"About two days ago, we met in front of the mansion to find out how we got our home address. Suddenly, pretending to be close and asking, it's the first time I've seen such a thing. I wonder what happened to my brother..."

If Hwiso Park wandered around here, there was a high probability that it was the story of those Japanese assholes I was talking about before.

It doesn't look like it's going to come just because of Hyunmoo's business. However, two weeks had passed since the last two weeks of arguing with Hwiso Park.

Had I been able to calculate the exact time of my return, I would have returned at the right time, but I was unintentionally breaking my promise.

'We should meet and talk.'

Hyunmoo rubbed Yumin's back, who was still shaking. I felt that Yu-min's feelings for him were growing bigger than I thought. And to Hyunmoo, Yoo-min was no longer a light thing. In that way she could understand her nursery rhyme.

'Should I tell the truth?'

For her, we might even talk about Difficulty: Hell. Hyunmoo's life would have been much more devastating if it wasn't for her, Yu-min, and without her waiting for her in reality. It was hard to imagine the situation where Yu-min was leaving now.

Hyunmoo grabbed her Yu-min's shoulder tightly.

“Yoo-min, listen carefully.”

Hyunmoo started telling Yu-min something he couldn't believe.

From when she became capable, what hardships she suffered and how she was able to acquire so many crystal moss, skills and items, and how fiercely she fought.

However, the difficulty of Hell was only described as a terrible dungeon-like place, and the story that it seemed like a future future from now was omitted.Because there is no need to worry unnecessarily.

As expected, Yu-min seemed to have become a mass of worries just because she had already told Yu-min.

“…a dungeon like hell?”

"I'll be away from time to time from now on. And it's getting harder and harder to predict exactly when I'll be back. I used to think a day or two was enough, but after seeing what I've been through this time, I thought it might be longer."

"that……."

"So, I'm telling you now. No matter how long it takes... I'll definitely come back."

"...to here?"

Hyunmoo said firmly.

"To where you are."

Yumin took a deep breath. Her trembling, which seemed to ponder Hyunmoo's words for a moment, began to slowly stop.

"You will be my lighthouse."

Hyunmoo felt strangely reassured the moment she confided her facts to Yu-min.

The fact that there was someone who knew about hell in reality seemed to take hold of the sense of reality that had seemed to be in jeopardy.

It seemed that all those deaths and overcoming finally became the real reward and was held by Hyunmoo.

The reward was the young lady in front of me, Yumin.

But at the same time, I wondered if Hyunmoo had said something he couldn't handle to Yu-min. That's because it was such an absurd thing to say. But Yu-min was not weak.

"However much."

Yumin smiled. She had returned to her usual Yumin, who was strong and full of vitality. The bloodshot eyes and dark circles could not be helped.

"But I can't be satisfied with the lighthouse. I'm willing to go there to rescue my brother when he is wrecked."

Hyunmoo couldn't help but wonder how many minutes Yu-min would last in hell. In the end, she thought, she had to come back no matter what.

“I was just guessing. It’s obvious. The high-grade crystal moss and scars that I bring every time, or the headhunters who are wandering in search of their brother. Clearly, somewhere hidden somewhere, in an incredibly powerful dungeon, train and die, and dig crystal moss. will come."

"Huh? Uh... it's similar."

It's just dying rather than living and dying.

"After all, it's kind of like a trade secret. All I have to do is focus on disposing of the crystal moss. I work in my own field. If I need it later, go ahead and tell me."

Hyunmoo nodded her head. In a nutshell, Hell is like a treasure trove of rare and legendary items as well as expensive crystal moss.

Of course, you will have to pay a terrible price for it.

If Yu-min gets information, there will certainly be people who covet the information itself. It could paradoxically make Yu-min dangerous.

"Um... Then will it come off? I haven't washed at all."

Although it was blown away by the wind while running roughly, even a tiny fraction of those buried in hell could be harmful to the common people, Yumin.

Then, Yumin smiled. It was a smile that was somehow familiar to her.

He smiles like he's going to get eaten.

Yu-min grabbed Hyunmoo's hand and led him to the bathroom.

"I haven't showered today either."
