Hoarding in Hell Novel

"Do you know who I am?"

" Kang Hyunmoo Hunter, who was judged as capable a month ago and excelled in the hunter ability test, first dungeon expedition in Cheonggye dungeon, and received a perfect score from the supervisor. Afterwards, he showed his true skills by blocking the truncation dungeon flood, ending the flood Record results performed in the shortest time up to . That's all I know."

Information about Hyunmoo was summarized and aired on TV, so it was easy to understand.

But even after knowing all of that, there were few people who did not feel hesitant about him.

If you are talented too.

"I thought my position was not in accordance with the protocol, so I came out dressed as cleanly as possible, but if you are offended, I will call my superiors now."

How do you call out your superiors like subordinates?

"No, that's okay. Judging by the looks of it, the internal situation seems to be the same, but let's go first."

The training club was miserable on the outside, but even worse on the inside.

In the structure where the frame was exposed, the paint was peeling off here and there and it was rusted. Even abandoned factory equipment was left inside.

It looked like it was made to match the assortment of training clubs.

"At least the cleaning is good."

I don't know if he cleaned it when he heard that he was coming, but it was clean with no scale. It was surprising that no dust came out even from the joints of the railings.

At Hyunmoo's words, Seo Ji-hoo spoke with a satisfied smile for the first time.

“Because poor hygiene means everything is getting worse.”

"...have you cleaned it all up?"

"Yes."

Hyunmoo felt that his intuition that Seo Ji-hoo was in charge of the facility was right.

That dignified attitude came from the confidence that this place was his home base. Your position as an intern doesn't matter.

Hyunmoo found the guy Seo Ji-hoo more and more interesting.

"Uh, Hunter Kang Hyunmoo, are you here!"

At that time, the hunters who were sitting loosely around or lying around rushed to Hyunmoo.

I didn't feel like blaming them for being lazy.

No matter how little you earn, considering the amount of money you earn as a hunter, it would be better to pay your own money and use a private club than to practice at a training club.

'Everyone here is like that.'

Organizations that shift their work to individuals are the worst. The executives' health club at the Almighty's headquarters was better than this.

24 hunters lined up and looked at Hyunmoo with a nervous expression.

Hyunmoo, who almost blocked the treacherous dungeon flood alone for the hunters, was a hero. He couldn't believe it, even when he was first contacted because he was.

Kang Hyunmoo joins the same omniscience as them, and comes to see them in person?

"you……."

Kang Hyunmoo finally spoke up.

Everyone looked at Kang Hyunmoo in anticipation of what he would say.

“First, write a will, one at a time.”

"……Yes?"

Hyunmoo didn't say anything. I made Seo Ji-hoo, who was frozen stiffly, bring as many pens and papers as the number of people.

Seo Ji-hoo brought the necessary things in an instant as if he had prepared it.The Hunters accepted a pen and a piece of paper, but hesitated. Hyunmoo decided to encourage the hunters a little more.

"I can't even write a will after I've lost, guys."

"Uh, why would you use that?"

“Because if you use it as instructed, you may not die, but if you don’t use it, it will surely kill me.”

Not intimidating, but intimidating, the hunters started writing wills in tears. While writing his will, Hyunmoo looked at the Hunters.

Of the 24, the proportion of women was slightly higher. It wasn't a coincidence.

The male hunter ratio is slightly higher in Taeseong and compatible moms. It's because they hire a lot of men because of the perception that hunters are a body-conscious profession.

There are no fewer female hunters. Considering the results corrected by the ability value, the gender difference is meaningless.

Even Tae-seong's second rank is a female hunter named Han Hyeon-hee from Maparam's group. Sometimes she's like an enemy butterfly.

'If it's strong enough to clearly show off one's standout, I'll pick it up, but if it's in the middle, I'll pick the male side.'

Naturally, female hunters who could not join Taeseong and compatible mama flock to the Almighty Ryeon, where the treatment is low.

For Hyunmoo, that was also an attractive point.

It means that there is a high probability that there are female hunters who have relatively decent abilities but are not treated.

Even if they couldn't get S-class, if they had A-class abilities, there was a higher probability that they had more omnipotence than Taeseong.

“I… I wrote everything.”

After a while, the Hunters raised their hands and began to come out with a will.

Hyunmoo took out a pair of glasses from her arms while taking the will. Hunters glanced at Hyunmoo like that.

It wasn't that there were no hunters wearing glasses, but it was a rare sight even for safety reasons.

But Hyunmoo's glasses were non-prescription, specially made glasses to fit her Ren's glasses.

The skeleton found in Hell was ignorantly inserted into the skull, but Hyunmoo had no intention of doing so.

Every time he received a will, Hyunmoo, who looked at the status of the hunters, suddenly felt something strange.

'what?'

Hyunmoo narrowed his eyes and looked at the Hunter standing right in front of him.

It wasn't that he was unusual, but one more thing was added to the status window list.

[Chaehyun Choi (LV 20)]

[Skill: Fire]

[Ability: B/A]

It was marked as an ability that had never been seen before. I wondered if I had seen it wrong, so I checked the other hunters, but it was the same. Each one is slightly different, but the display is different.

When the stats were judged at the Competency Management Bureau, this figure was too vague because it was fairly detailed.

'Are you referring to the average value of each ability? Then why is it displayed as N/N?'

After much deliberation, Hyunmoo noticed that the rating on her right was unconditionally equal to or higher than that on the left.

That is, the numerical value displayed on the right is the highest limit point of the ability that the person with the ability can reach.

In other words, the higher the right side, the higher the growth potential.

'Huh, this is an unexpected harvest... … Why is this all of a sudden?'

It wasn't surprising. It was an extension of the sense of incongruity I felt while watching the news on the day when Oh Dae-seong came out of the truncated dungeon a few days ago and made an emergency announcement.

Overall, the ability to 'see and understand' felt itself improved. Hyunmoo also checked his abilities once.

[ Kang Hyunmoo (LV 30)]

[Skills: Poison Blood (Contagion, Acidity, Blood of the Hungry, Parasitic), Battle Helper (Strength), Control, Fellowship (Absorb)]

[Ability: SS/SS]

I don't know how high this is. However, that doesn't mean that you can't think of it as the highest level of ability, and there was a clear lack of opponents with a higher level than yourself.

In other words, as the Sejong Institute judged, it would be better to think of this stat mark as 'the highest value that can be reached at that level'.

'I'll look into this later.'

This made it much easier to cover the boulder.

For some reason, the hunters who submitted all the wills had complex and subtle expressions or a refreshing expression on their faces. One was brimming with tears.

The act of writing a will seems to have touched their sensitivity somewhere.

"Do you know why I asked you to write a will?"

At Hyunmoo's question, the hunters looked at each other. Then one carefully raised his hand and said,

"Uh, take time to reflect on your own life?"

"To remind you of the importance of the future?"

Hyunmoo didn't even read the will, but roughly folded it and threw it into the envelope.

"No. I'm going to pick some useful ones among you, because you don't know who will die in the process."

***

Die.

It's not just a simple analogy.

According to Hyunmoo's experience, the awakening of skills or an increase in the limit value of the ability occurs in extreme situations that lead to death or extreme stress.

Just like the hunters here, it was clear that even if it was for the rest of my life, it would have been at a standstill if I could just earn enough to eat and live by smashing up monsters.

A more extreme situation was needed. But if you throw it in a place that's too difficult from the start, you might really die.

For this reason, Hyunmoo chose the most easy-to-find and friendly opponents.

It was the Hunters themselves.

"Ahhhhh!"

"Aaaah!"

Boom, one hunter smashed the other hunter's ship. However, the hunter who was beaten did not stand still. He bit and ripped off the opponent's ear, splashing blood everywhere.

The shock wave shook and shook the intestines, sending the opponent flying. The sound of breaking bones resounded along with a terrifying sound.

In the middle of the factory, a terrible fight was going on. It was such a terrible fight that even the hunters who watched the fight turned their faces pale.

I've already seen more terrible things by hitting and killing monsters in the dungeon, but that's a monster. No matter how much you kill a target you can't empathize with, you won't feel much emotion.

However, these were humans, hunters, colleagues, and friends who had attacked dungeons together.

But I couldn't understand why they were fighting as if they had met even the enemies of their parents.

"Don't look away and watch."

As one of the hunters turned away, nauseated, Hyunmoo said warningly. Some of the Hunters turned their heads in tears and watched the fight.

It was the effect of Hyunmoo's gun control.

Everyone was lower in level than Hyunmoo and was submissive to authority, so the effect of control was strong.

He also added a few drops of extremely diluted blood of a hungry man. People become negative and violent when they are hungry. The other hunters were all under control and watching the fight without even thinking of escaping.

qwok, qwajik.

Finally, one hunter broke the arm of the other hunter and completely subdued it. But he did not stop there and raised his foot as if to finish it completely."stop."

The moment Hyunmoo murmured briefly, the Hunter, who was about to deliver the final blow, fell to his knees. The opponent had already fainted.

Hyunmoo brought the potion through Seo Ji-hoo.

Everyone was terrified to see Hyunmoo casually handing out an intermediate recovery potion worth millions of won, but now to Hyunmoo, it has become more like a bottle of water.

Hyunmoo was disappointed. This was the third fight. They both fought to the point of being driven to death, but none of them had awakened their skills.

'Should the conditions be a bit harsher?'

"Get the two out, then."

The next hunters crawled up. Hyunmoo ordered right away without wasting time.

"Fight until your opponent dies."

The fight started again.

***

By the time everyone finished the blood battle, the sun began to set.

Hyunmoo released the hold that he placed on everyone. However, all of them did not recover quickly and suffered from aftereffects while limping.

Memories of the fight were fuzzy as he fought while his consciousness was half-controlled by Hyunmoo.

However, the torn clothes, the blood splattered everywhere, and the vaguely painful feeling brought back memories little by little.

"Ugh, whoa!"

One leaned against the wall and started vomiting.

Hyunmoo put the sound behind him and muttered as he looked at the chart recording the results.

"Well, not the worst."

Two people have acquired new skills, and three have awakened their traits.

The awakening rate increased as I went back, but I wondered if it was because of the increased stress as I watched the previous hunters become super corpses.

'I'll have to push myself into a harsher environment.'

But Hyunmoo felt complicated to see the hunters fainting or vomiting from exhaustion. It's effective, but can these guys survive to the end?

'It's difficult when you're tired like this.'

Difficulty: It would be difficult to substitute the experience in Hell, but honestly, I didn't expect it to be this hard.

Hyunmoo has no experience of murder in real life, but in hell he has already killed dozens of hungry people.

It didn't just kill him. He chewed and swallowed his raw flesh and smashed bones with his teeth.

Aren't these guys just punching themselves until they're covered in blood?

'If I were one of those bastards, I would have wanted to kill me.'

But none of them showed such anger.

It was only filled with fear and fatigue.

'I don't like psychics, but I think I need to practice this a bit.'

Of course, Hyunmoo didn't mean to be angry with me, saying, "Why can't you guys do it?" But in this state, Hyunmoo is not helpful.

Considering the enemies to face as the difficulty rises in the future, it was better to fix the complacency for sure.

Its survival rate would be even a little higher.

"I have good news."

Hyunmoo took a step forward for such hunters and opened his mouth.

"As for the results of this test, you all meet my standards. All of them passed."
