The ability Eunha gained through awakening was ‘Flame.’
Perhaps thanks to that, she was able to endure even in the flames that made it hard to breathe.
She was Eunha, who could control the fire with her bare hands. So, her fire resistance was almost at the max (Max). There was no risk of burns even if the fire touched her skin.
“Cough.”
However, the thick smoke was a bit difficult.
Eunha fanned the smoke away with her hand and walked inside the hotel. Soon after, she realized that she had entered the gate. Apparently, she had been swept away while walking through the flames.
‘Is this a fire attribute gate?’
Ding.
[Divine Beast, ‘Wandering Cat in the Darkness’ Kelrok! Kelrok, Kelrok! What’s this black smoke? Hurry up and get out of here, it’s urging you.]“I’m going to do that even without being urged.”
Eunha took her mobile phone out of her back pocket. She turned on the yellow app and touched the screen.
The only person registered in the messenger. She left a short message to him.
[Me] [7:41 PM] Eat first.…….
[Failed to send message.]“Ah.”
Eunha realized only then that mobile phones were useless inside the gate.
To use a mobile phone inside the gate, you had to use a special data plan provided by the carrier, and it cost a whopping 79,900 won per month.
Moreover, not all gates supported data. From the practical and frugal point of view of Eunha, it was a ludicrous expense.
The terminal was…….
‘It’s not urgent, but I think it’s broken. Can you fix it?’
It was left to Siwoo.
There was no other way. Putting her mobile phone back in her pocket, Eunha continued to walk.
‘What color was the crack, anyway?’
She had no time to comprehend it as she was suddenly engulfed in flames. It was a moment when she was lost in thought.
[Lv.22 ‘Burning Fairy of Fire’ attacks you!]Shriek!
Something flew at her. Eunha quickly spread her palm.
Boom!
Fire collided with fire, causing an explosion.
“…… Level 22.”
Eunha murmured, dodging the effects of the explosion. It meant that this place was probably a Bgrade gate. In other words, there was no need to be tense.
Sparks flew in all directions, making holes in Eunha’s Tshirt. Of course, the damage was 0. She felt only a slight warmth, and there was no impact.
[Lv.22 ‘Burning Fairy of Fire’ begins to sing a strange song. Skill ▶ 100 degrees Celsius melody]But the same went for the other side. Fire attribute monsters, like Eunha, had resistance to fire.
‘I should have worn the dress.’
Of course, how could she have known? Eunha looked at her Tshirt and jeans and sighed.
If she had equipped the Black Flame Princess set, the set effect, Black Flame would have activated.
Black Flame, which burns even the fire, a weapon that transcends the fire. She could have inflicted enormous damage, ignoring the attributes. Moreover, if she had the fan, she could have easily escaped this place.
‘It doesn’t matter.’
All she had to do was increase the output.
Eun Ha raised her head, feeling the warmth in her palm. The red energy in the shape of musical notes was coming at a fast speed with the Fairy’s ‘100 Degrees Celsius Melody’ skill.
Fighting with the same attribute is tricky. It usually does not conclude in an easy victory.
Boom!
However, this was under the assumption of ‘the same firepower.’
(This is a time separator.)
About an hour later.
[Lv.22 ‘Burning Fire Fairy’ attacks you!] [Lv.22 ‘Burning Fire Fairy’ attacks you!] [Lv.22 ‘Burning Fire Fairy’ attacks you!]“Ugh, what are these things!”
The hunter wearing a beret jumped up. The monster ‘Burning Fire Fairy’ was level 22, so it wasn’t particularly threatening.
However, there were astonishingly many of them.
“This many from the entrance? Is this an ant nest?”
“It looks like these guys are born from embers.”
Another hunter who was standing beside him calmly muttered. He was also wearing a beret.
“That means, in this gate engulfed in flames, they almost infinitely regenerate.”
The leading hunter grimaced, as if annoyed. If he didn’t kill them in one blow, there was a high chance that the flames would split into two, and the number of monsters would double.
“Still, there are way too many.”
Even though it was a gate created in a fire scene, the fire attribute monsters were disgustingly swarming.
─ Just like someone who had previously fought had already caused them to divide.
“Is there a problem? If they regenerate infinitely, we just have to kill them infinitely.”
A simple and clear answer.
“That’s our way, isn’t it?”
The hunter who laughed hotly flicked his cloak leisurely.
Seven stars embroidered with gold thread on the deep green cloak. Below them, the Chinese character for legion (軍團) was prominent.
“That’s right, Master?”
He looked back.
“……Master?”
The shadow that should have been there was nowhere to be seen. The remaining five hunters looked around simultaneously.
“Hey, where did Master go?”
“He was here just a moment ago……”
“You should have been watching him!”
“Well, were you watching him?”
Grown adult men began to quarrel loudly. Amidst this, a hunter with short hair calmly spoke.
“Stop it, all of you. Master’s not a child. Knowing him, he probably went straight to where the boss is.”
“……”
At her words, the quarreling hunters fell silent.
Yes, it made sense. Their Master was not someone who would be injured in a B+ grade gate like this.
It was a fact all the legion members agreed on.
“He must have been eager to try out the newly developed ‘Firework Bazooka.'”
“It’s entirely possible for Master.”
The legion members nodded in agreement.
“Let’s look around for anything valuable before the gate closes. It’s the gate we’ve won. We have to at least break even.”
They had even refrained from bringing a gatherer to save every penny. They each had tools like pickaxes and shovels on their shoulders.
“That’s true.”
The moment a hunter agreed,
Snap!
As if someone had pulled a trigger, they scattered in all directions. Their unity was as if they had repeated this simulation dozens of times.
They were not people who would falter in a gate like this.
Their guild was one of the strongest representing South Korea. Surprisingly, it consisted of only 7 people. However, all of them were renowned Rankers. Considering their unity and individual battle power, they were said to be a cut above the famous Wolf Guild.
A small elite with only core power. That was the legion.
And the guild master of the legion, ‘Trickster.’
He was South Korea’s fifth Srank hunter and was famous as a military maniac. He did not just buy all sorts of military goods at high prices but also made his guild legion’s uniform in military style. His taste was firm.
The members of the legion’s guild whispered to such a master as a military enthusiast, commonly referred to as ‘Milotaku.’ Of course, it wasn’t an insult. He was proud of the fact.
Meanwhile, at the same time.
“Huh.”
The owner of the legion, Trickster, discovered something halfburied in the ashes.
Driven, Trickster crouched down and began to dig through the ashes. Where the black ashes flew, a sparkling object revealed itself intact.
“Hmmm.”
Trickster picked it up with one hand and dangled it before his eyes. Looking at it this way and that, it was definitely,
‘A military dog tag, right?’
And it was golden at that.
How did the legendary item, said to be possessed only by the first generation of hunters, end up dropped in the middle of a gate?
Trickster had several similar items, but most of them were wellmade fakes. Most of the genuine items had been donated to the Hunter’s Museum.
─However.
Trickster, with the face of an appraiser, examined it closely.
Hold on. 1998.01.03. The exact issuance date and the military number that follows. The name is… erased.
He checked the back. The words ‘MADE IN KOREA’ were not engraved.
His fingertips, closely inspecting the dog tag, began to tremble faintly. Soon, his eyes were filled with a nearmad ecstasy.
“……Wow, this is real.”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
