Hoarding in Hell Novel

The ratman was running like crazy.

At the king's mad command, he tried to hide in his own rat den, away from his people who stabbed each other.

But in front of such a man, a glimmer of yellow eyes flashed. Before he even realized his own mistake, the ratman bit the nape of his neck.

"Cheeky!"

Werewolves repeatedly slaughtered by grabbing ratman in both hands and feet and biting them at random.

Werewolves were not affected by the Ratman King's orders. However, the crazy ratmen did not choose their own kind, of course, and even attacked werewolves, the top predators.

Werewolves were also full of wounds.

He escaped from the square at best, but the corridor, the only way out, was equally disastrous.

The ratmen who were trying to run away trampled on each other and were crushed to the point of being crushed. The werewolf roared long. It was not a battle, but a roar for salvation. The situation here right now is abnormal. I had to run away, but I was blocked by a strange translucent wall in front of me.

"Now I feel a little better!"

bang! Then a dull shock sound was heard. The ratman found the figure of a madman holding the tail of a poor ratman behind him and spinning it around.

Ratman, who suddenly became like playing with rattles, bumped into monsters and walls here and there, and it was already difficult to recognize his form.

Hyunmoo smashed the monsters with the Ratman instead of Tom, but not long after that, the Ratman's tail broke and flew to the ceiling.

With a thud, the ratman, who lost his head, fell to the floor helplessly. Hyunmoo looked up at the ceiling with regret and suddenly met a werewolf's eyes.

"dog!"

The werewolf at that moment realized what he had to do. Seeing the werewolf immediately turning and running away, Hyunmoo ran away without realizing it.

There was no particular reason. He ran away, so he just followed.

Bang, bang, bang!

The werewolf ran with bubbles at the 'sound of violence approaching' heard from behind.

But to no avail.

Hyunmoo grabbed the werewolf's tail. When the werewolf remembered the end of the ratman spinning round and round with its tail caught, he screamed and hugged the pile of corpses full of ratmen.

But he was to no avail.

The triple strength option attached to O'Shet's six-handed grasp was able to lift the heavy weight of a werewolf. The moment he grabbed the werewolf's tail and hurriedly threw it into the air, countless ratman corpses were also scattered in the air.

"Dogs are relatives of hamsters, okay?"

Hyunmoo himself didn't know what he was talking about.

Werewolves couldn't tell if the hamsters belonged to their relatives because they had been patterned somewhere on the ceiling.

I've been feeling nauseous for a long time.

It felt like the insides that had been clogged up in Hell were opened up here.

Now, the moment he was about to attack the next target, Hyunmoo managed to regain his sanity. There was a human right in front of him.

“… Mr. Kang Hyunmoo?”

Red Butterfly and John, etc. were a mixture of expedition members.

Everyone was looking at Hyunmoo with a puzzled expression. He was so obsessed with slaughter that he didn't seem to notice anything other than his presence.

Then a thump, thump, thump rang out in succession. The corpses of the ratmen that had soared into the air along with the werewolves fell to the floor, scattering blood and flesh everywhere.

The expedition members did not know what the hell was going on. Hyunmoo laughed wildly.

“Let’s clean up and talk.”

***

Scratch, scoop.The blade was so sharp that the sword Hyunmoo swung didn't even feel like it was caught in the bone. Every time he swung it once, the necks of two or three monsters escaped at once.

Hunters could witness the long-running massacre behind Hyunmoo. Innumerable corpses of monsters were piled up in layers in the hallway.

And I could see what the monsters were running away from here.

While they were barely holding on, Hyunmoo was slaughtering all the monsters by himself.

Hunters had nothing to do. The monsters were frightened and ran away or bit each other, and if it wasn't either, they were frozen and then their necks ran away.

Just one-sided violence was cleaning the hallway.

"...it's amazing."

One of the hunters muttered, lost in their hearts. It was the same with Yoo Seong-yeon.

As long as the Hunter, and even Taeseong, on purpose came in, there is of course a yearning for strength. All hunters, regardless of gender, had such admiration.

Until then, their role model was Lee Ji-tae. Lee Ji-tae showed restrained strength and dignified strength.

But Kang Hyunmoo is different.

His appearance was deafening madness itself. He felt even evil, but there was a bizarreness that drew the heart.

Moreover, he was drawn even more because it was the power he encountered in a situation where he had given up his life halfway.

'If it was Lee Ji-tae who appeared now, would he have felt similar feelings?'

Yoo Seong-yeon couldn't help but think like that. She will be able to admire. But it won't be the same feeling now.

Yoo Seong-yeon came out with Hyunmoo and she wanted to do a one-sided slaughter.

Without strategy or restraint, she wanted to unleash savage violence against the subjects she had terrified of death.

And she couldn't believe herself with that urge. Because she was the exact opposite of the way she taught in Taeseong.

At that moment, a ratman got out of Hyunmoo and ran to him in haste.

'Get out? Hyunmoo missed the ratman?'

Even before Yoo Seong-yeon's brief questioning was over, the hunters rushed out and attacked Ratman.

The ratman was killed in an instant. The Hunters laughed and crushed the corpses.

The moment Yoo Seong-yeon saw that figure, she was thrilled.

Excessive violence is a typical symptom of psychosis that hunters show. She was able to realize though that she wasn't the only one who was drawn to her urge to join the violence with Hyunmoo.

She said, 'Just by appearing here... … You dazzled everyone.'

Yoo Seong-yeon looked at John unconsciously.

John returned with an expressionless expression that hardened to the extent that he wondered if the madness he had thrown into his body with his death earlier was true.

However, his gaze did not separate from Hyunmoo like everyone else.

***

After the slaughter, all that was left were the corpses of monsters.

When Hyunmoo saw the ratman's corpse crushed by the hunters, he smiled and gestured his chin. The Hunters followed Hyunmoo as he went.

To be honest, there was no one here who was not concerned about Hyunmoo.

Because Hyunmoo can't go crazy and attack them.

No, worry is a refined expression.

Most of the people in this position were afraid of Hyunmoo. But even so, he respected and admired him.

Fortunately, Hyunmoo no longer showed any signs of excitement. When he wiped the blood with his clothes, he looked pretty good.

Earlier, the dog was said to be a hamster's relative, and the person who committed the slaughter was nowhere to be seen.

Arriving at the square, people found familiar objects. It was a hearthstone.

"Heartstone! Have you finally achieved the 3rd goal?"

The hunters cheered and approached the hearthstone. But only John shook his head with a frown.

As the mood was about to get worse again, Hyunmoo sneaked up to the side of the hearthstone. He then wiped away the strangely arranged stones and graffiti with his feet.

Before the truncation dungeon flood, it was a shaman circle created by Kirsson.

It was possible to reproduce it because there was a picture of the shaman in the white bone record.

In the original history, it is said that the Ratman Shamans appeared and began to build these circles, and shortly thereafter the Flood began.

However, Hyunmoo had Kirsson completed it early.

'Besides, this... … It looks more sophisticated than the picture.'

The original photo was unstable because only a portion was taken, but Kirsson seemed to have made use of his knowledge and imagination in the difficulty hell to create a richer and more powerful shaman circle.

I wondered if this was the reason that Flood was stronger than I thought.

'This child, I should go and say something.'

"Ah!"

Suddenly, shouts erupted from John. A bright light began to flow from the top of the dungeon.

While everyone was bewildered by the dazzling ray of light they had seen for the first time, only John, with a reverent expression on his knees, began to pray. And a message echoed in everyone's ears.

[Completely attack the truncation dungeon.]

[Attack Point: ★★★★☆]

[The state of the dungeon enters the 'stable' state.]

Seen from the message or from the appearance of John, it was a message that the truncated dungeon was completely attacked.

The hunters all cheered and hugged and rejoiced. Clearing a strategy that you thought was completely ruined. There was also a hunter who belatedly sobbed as he remembered the dead hunter.

Hyunmoo stood awkwardly in the crucible of unaccustomed emotional excess.

Despite this excitement, no one approached Hyunmoo.

'Hmm, I did it on purpose to scare you.'

It was also subtle to be calm and alone in this excitement. Then a red butterfly approached him.

"Mr. Kang Hyunmoo."

She took a short deep breath and smiled.

"First of all, I apologize for leaving you alone. And thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to clear the dungeon safely."

"Uh, yes."

"and……."

The red butterfly hesitated as if to say something awkward. But as if she couldn't let it go without saying it soon, she opened her mouth with a look of great determination.

"As far as I know, hamsters are Cricetidae."

"...Ah, yes."

***

[Successful in attacking the truncation dungeon! The Flood is completely over!]

As soon as the expedition returned, media outlets began to scramble to report the results.

The first complete end of Flood in Korea. It was an achievement that could not help but be enthusiastic when considering that the country we live in right above our heads was destroyed by the flood.

Moreover, floods occurred simultaneously in Chuncheon and other countries, increasing confusion and concern. There, Korea was the first to end the Flood.

Defeating the Flood in three days was also a world record.

Thanks to that, [as expected, Korean gamers, speedrun can't catch up with me hahahaha] The same opinion continued.Even Lee Ji-tae, who entered the Chuncheon dungeon where the Flood exploded on the same day, had not yet come out, so of course, the Fellowship Dungeon Expedition received much attention.

The photographers, who waited all night for the expedition to return, took pictures of them just returning and posted them on the front page of the newspaper the next day.

The exhausted and weary members of the expedition team, especially Hyunmoo, who almost drenched his body in blood, was the best model.

[Appearance of a new hero]

Hyunmoo was halfway from the expedition mainstream, but that's why he got even more attention.

Where and how did Hyunmoo survive in the two days where the others worked together? I had a lot of questions. Hyunmoo didn't even have a body cam, so he was even more so.

However, according to the testimony of the expedition members, Hyunmoo didn't even 'stand up'.

"He did not stand alone in the dark alone."

"Just leave us alone and find the goal of the expedition... It's a vulgar expression, but I had no choice but to say this. He was killing monsters."

[Most importantly, discovery of next-generation prospects… … Is a new era coming?]

Hyunmoo received the most spotlight, but the Red Butterfly and Obsidian teams also got a lot of attention.

Although Red Butterfly Joe normally fought with hunters higher than his level, he did not lose his record, and the Obsidian team did not lose his reputation as Taeseong's next-generation elite.

In particular, the five-hour fierce battle in the boss room where the hearthstone was found became a big topic.

[Heroes who did not return, what happened to them?]

But not everyone was excited about it. The number of victims was unexpectedly high. As Lee Ji-tae made the away decision, the theory of responsibility for sending people with relatively low skills could not be avoided.

However, the hunters who ran all the body cams concluded that this was unavoidable.

It was not because of the difficulty problem, but because of the isolation of the hunters due to the change of the dungeon structure.

When all the hunters were gathered in one place, even when John was there, there was no single victim.

The theory of responsibility for Lee Ji-tae had faded, but his reputation could not be helped.

Instead, the target was the expedition leader Seo Tae-kyung.

[Seo Tae-kyung, why didn't he come back?]

When Hyunmoo and the Obsidian team returned to Hearthstone, I thought the Almighty team would have returned. It was after two days had already passed as promised.

However, none of the Almighty Team returned.

Since the bodycam contained all the circumstances of when the Almighty team and the rest broke up, there was a lot of question as to why they didn't come back with the return order.

Disputes continued as to whether Seo Tae-kyung's judgment captured on the body cam was selfish or rational, and whether or not he was responsible for the deaths of the hunters.

There was also a lot of talk about why they didn't return, even with the return spell.

"I believe in Seo Tae-kyung, the branch manager."

These were the words of General Director Oh Dae-seong, the representative of Chun Nung-ryun. Director Oh Dae-seong took several of the Almighty Hunters and entered the dungeon to find Seo Tae-kyung. It happened the very next day after clearing the dungeon.

For the most part, it was as Hyunmoo expected.

However, one thing that was unexpected was widely talked about on the Internet.

[A hamster is a dog from today. If it’s just Hyunmoo, then that’s it.]

[What is Hyunmoo, the young mercilessly on top? Call me Gatgatgat with respect.]

[My hamster has been barking since this morning. I saw it.]

[Isn't the dog a hamster, not a hamster?]

The nonsense that Kang Hyunmoo unintentionally shouted was widely talked about across the country.

Because of this remark, Hyunmoo was in charge of the Internet trend for a while. Hyunmoo's new self-introduction when he stopped the treacherous dungeon flood was also talked about once again.

Hyunmoo was said to be creepy, but people are crazy about his stronger power anyway. And the combination of overwhelming power and wackiness created an unexpected fan base.

Still, it seemed that the image of a madman could not be taken off.
