Hoarding in Hell Novel

"Huh? What? Wait. What's delicious?"

[Future survival time, 47 hours 59 minutes 56 seconds.]

Hyunmoo asked again, but of course there was no answer. Instead, there was only the dry narrator's reply.

Hyunmoo didn't know what the hell was going on in his body. There isn't much change right now, but what the hell is it going to be delicious? What does that mean about the human body?

'Ah, maybe.'

Hyunmoo sniffed the smell of his wrist. The smell of sweat was weak, but I couldn't find any difference. Then Hyunmoo made eye contact with Lenian.

From the window sill, Lenian was looking at Hyunmoo with twinkling eyes.

“You stay there.”

Hyunmoo gave a quick warning before Lenian moved. Lennie Ann pursed his lips.

"The butler is delicious, but you're trying not to taste it?"

"It's always delicious. Wait, do you know what the curse is?"

"Yes."

Lenian said with a smirk.

"It is a spice that can only be tasted at Yogulem's banquet hall. When under that curse, it emits a smell that stimulates appetite. The butler himself seasoned it with Yogulem himself, so the flavor will be amazing. The taste is also excellent. Once Even if they are cursed with a delicious taste, they become addicted to its taste and become a devil who constantly searches for it. Most people of the starving stars are like that. They are greedy devil hells that eat and eat among themselves."

Lenian explained in a light manner, as if introducing a restaurant. Hyunmoo really thought he was under the damned curse.

A curse that stimulates appetite around you. Also, the target of the meal is Hyunmoo himself.

"Have you ever eaten? Are you okay?"

"It's okay with fairies. They're the promised beasts that will devour the whole world."

He said it triumphantly, but I don't know what he meant. In any case, Lenian seemed intent on maintaining non-violence.

Hyunmoo quickly turned to Kirsson. Kirsson wiped his saliva with a bewildered expression and shook his head.

"Kiruk. I didn't think it was strange."

The word itself meant that he was thinking strangely. But he didn't seem to lose his temper. Maybe it's because he's ruled by Hyunmoo's will.

I don't know how much it is for other monsters. Hyunmoo prepared to move quickly. There's no point in hiding if you can smell it.

"I told you that Yogulem's clan was looking for it. Lenian, do you know where it is?"

Hyunmoo didn't have to wait for an answer.

bang! There was the sound of something crashing into a barricade hitting the window. At the sound of throwing rocks, Hyunmoo tensed up and prepared to run away.

Then a familiar sound came from outside the window.

The sound of fast flapping wings.

Whoops- bang, bang! The sound of crashing was heard in succession, and then the barricade was smashed. Mosquitoes came pouring in through the hole. Hyunmoo squealed and slammed the mosquito. There were hundreds of mosquito swarms, but Kirson and Hyunmoo's abilities alone were enough to clean them up.

But even in the meantime, the mosquitoes strangely ran towards Hyunmoo. Then, he repeatedly tried to force the snout into his skin.

Mosquitoes that sucked Hyunmoo's blood fell to the floor and crawled. Still, he didn't want to get away from Hyunmoo's feet.

Hyunmoo stomped on mosquitoes crawling on the floor."Isn't it time for mosquitoes to move?"

"Mosquitoes are the most basic of the Yogulem's clan. The Yogulem's clan is always busily roaming around to fill their stomachs with something. They smell the delicious butler's blood, so they'll be delighted now."

Hyunmoo contorted his face at Lennie Ann's answer. But his complexion turned pale in the words that followed.

"Um, and the butler should run away. Mosquitoes are also Yogulem's youngest spies. Now all of Yogulem's clan in the vicinity will flock here. Oh, the fairies must also run away."

Lenian hurriedly picked up the mosquitoes that had fallen to the floor, which had eaten Hyunmoo's blood and had fainted, and disappeared. Kirsson looked at Hyunmoo and hesitated, then quickly bowed his head.

"I don't think my strength right now will help, so I'll try again next time..."

"Stand there."

Hyunmoo groaned and glanced out his window. It was to find out what was coming after the mosquito. And looking at the sky, Hyunmoo intuited that this situation was not as simple as he thought.

The dark clouds that covered the sky were swirling and coming down.

***

Hyunmoo hid in a collapsing building a bit off the crossroads. It was a building that had been reserved for a long time to be used as a second shelter in case of an emergency.

Looking down at the crossroads, the place that was once clean with almost no monsters had turned completely black.

It was a swarm of mosquitoes that formed part of the cloud layer above the sky.

But even though it had come down so much, the cloud layers did not fade at all.

"Damn it..."

Hyunmoo remembered something he had seen in a documentary about dungeons a long time ago.

There are several criteria to separate animals from monsters, but two are representative.

The first is diet.

Monsters rarely eat. It's not that I don't do it at all, but I do surprisingly little for my size. Guessing it, I thought it was just getting the calories I needed with mana.

Hyunmoo thought that would be right. Otherwise, I can't explain why mosquitoes are still alive at those crazy numbers.

The second is hostility towards humans.

Most animals run away when they encounter humans. Even carnivores that can eat humans generously avoid humans to some extent.

Our ancestors ate more than 90% of large terrestrial mammals and made them extinct. Those memories will be engraved into DNA.

But monsters are different. They show almost unconditional hostility towards humans.

'Still, I was able to survive because they had a corner like a baby bug.'

It was because he was reluctant to know that Hyunmoo's blood was poisonous, he was able to survive, not because he was strong. He felt numb this time. In any case, there is no business in the number of pages.

"No, that number will make you mummified even if you run into a dinosaur."

Hyunmoo looked around carefully. It wasn't safe here either. Mosquitoes will slowly spread around once they learn that Hyunmoo is missing, and there's little chance that Hyunmoo will escape safely from that tight net.

"Kirson."

"Kiruk, yes."

Kirsson was restless, then answered quickly. They seemed to be concerned about the survival of the villagers.

“How would you feel if I hid in your village?”

"Kek, Kirreuk. That, I think it would be difficult. Our village smells a lot, and, as you know, the curse of 'delicious' is..."

"This also applies to you guys. I see."

It is a curse that becomes a charm that is loved by all monsters, even if it is not a member of the Yogulem family. Kirsson muttered with a slightly embarrassed face.

"If you eat something 'tasty', you become addicted and automatically become the people of Yogulem. Kiruk. You become a maw that constantly suffers from hunger. Kit, they can't even starve, so they lock them up and catch themselves. We have no choice but to make them eat. Mosquitoes are no match for them.”

Hyunmoo made a surprised face at Kirsson's explanation.

"What is the curse you know?"

“Knowing and leaving the city… Kirreuk, hungry people can be seen everywhere outside of this area.”

Hyunmoo's expression became subtle.

can you see it often?

It was said that Yogulem's clan was pursuing Hyunmoo. Mosquito swarms were the first to find Hyunmoo and ran to it, and now that the location has been discovered, other members of the family will also flock to it.

In other words, Mosquito Swarm is just a prologue, not the main story.

"No, Mr. Why now!"

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Hyunmoo turned his head at the odd sound. Birds I had never seen before were sitting on the outer wall of the high-rise building.

The feathers glistened with black grease, the bizarre body that swelled up, and the bruised blue-green eyes.

Hyunmoo's head was saying that he remembered seeing that, but he couldn't associate the name with that.

[Plague Pigeon (LV 9)]

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I wanted to ask you what kind of joke you were talking about. However, as soon as the flock of pigeons flapped their wings at once, a swarm of black fleas fell from their wings.

Hyunmoo immediately turned around and started running. The dove flapped its deformed wings and ran, thumping instead of flying.

From the delicious curse to mosquitoes and pigeons.

It is a series of situations that cannot be taken seriously. Of course, life was at stake, so there was no choice but to be desperate.

I prepared so hard, but I couldn't understand why it turned out to be in vain just because it was delicious.

Two legendary weapons and skills were useless. Hyunmoo suddenly remembered that Yogulem had been watching him closely these days.

'No, you expected to be accepted, so you came up with something like this to fuck you?'

Hyunmoo gritted his teeth.

"I'd rather give him a good fight!"

Hyunmoo burst out of anger and ran out of the building. At that moment, Hyunmoo realized that he had quite a few other things standing outside himself.

[Ghoul of Predator (LV 33)]

[Crazy Ghast (LV 41)]

[Hungry Zombie (LV 24)]

Innumerable humanoid monsters, who could not be more than a hundred, were looking at Hyunmoo. They looked like they would only see in a horror movie, but the level was far too high.

“…No, I’ll go back in.”

[The effect of the title 'Hell's Strongest' will increase the stat compared to the level.]

The narrator's voice was heard without notice.

Without hesitation, the hungry screamed and rushed towards Hyunmoo.[You are dead.]

[Total survival time: 02 days 1 hour 16 minutes 15 seconds.]

***

"Haha, like a dog."

Hyunmoo started running right after the resurrection. He had no choice but to do so when the crossroads were full of mosquitoes. But nevertheless, he had already been bitten by a few bites.

He didn't even know what happened to Kirsson when he first died. Now that I think about it, he seems to have run away from Hyunmoo in a different direction.

'Damn you.'

No matter who he resembles, he is mean and hot. Lenian as well. I don't know why there are so few trustworthy people around.

But the most unbelievable among them was the world itself.

'How the hell am I supposed to break this?'

He seemed to think every time he encountered the quest, but this time he had no choice but to repeat it.

He was the same when fighting Kirsson, but then he was able to strategize. Despite repeated defeats, he was confident that he was approaching victory.

But this time, in a situation where the level up was blocked without being able to subtract or beat, he was faced with monsters with overwhelming numbers and overwhelming levels.

Even a monster called a ghast that doubles Hyunmoo's level is already over double digits. This is not a quest made to wake up.

It's a quest made to die.

[The starving star, Yogulem, is watching you.]

"Yeah, it must be fun, bastard! The shit you fed is so sweet!"

Hyunmoo didn't know where Yogulem was looking, so he ran with his middle finger everywhere.

"You didn't even add salt and pepper at all, kid?! You'd rather cook, huh? Try grilling, steaming, and sashimi! If you want to eat it so deliciously!"

But, of course, he had no answer from Jo Gulem.

The stars were like that.

He was looking indifferently, conveying only the slightest emotional expression or intention, and never deeply intervened.

Nevertheless, Yogulem's malice was very strong in this ordeal.

'If we don't do something about this damn situation... … .'

'You have to turn to the right.'

Hyunmoo almost sprained his leg. He suddenly turned to the right and stumbled on his foot. If he had sprained his leg like this, he would have been bitten by a swarm of mosquitoes and mummified.

Barely balancing, Hyunmoo ran straight ahead instead of going to the right.

He wondered what the hell he was doing.

'You have to turn to the right.'

Hyunmoo thought so.

No, he didn't think so.

'No, I thought so.'

Hyunmoo thought of the laughter of an unfamiliar woman laughing low in his head.

Someone was thinking for him.
