With the monster chopping wood, the woman trying to start a fire, and bringing outside food as breakfast service, it was too elaborate to be a mere joke, yet too dubious to take seriously.
“Yes, good morning. I’ll enjoy the food.”
Donghwa accepted the plate.
He had paid a considerable amount of coins. If the campground originally offered breakfast service, there was no reason to refuse.
Then a system notification rang.
[You have completed the quest.] [You have received a reward of ‘Luck +5’.]He recalled there was a quest instruction in the Spring Campground Quest to say a morning greeting.
It didn’t seem very enthusiastic, but the system was surprisingly lenient.
“Yes, good morning… Ah, why isn’t this working?”
The woman repeated the words she said when she came in, pointing accusingly at the air. Donghwa finally realized what she was trying to do since the morning.
“Did you receive a quest too?”
“Uh… how did you know?”
“It seems you received a similar quest to mine. Was it to say a morning greeting?”
“Yes!”
Donghwa explained his quest. Not all, but some of the quests matched with the woman’s.
“It seems due to my class, the quests were extended to the guests too…”
A class that can bestow quests on other hunters? He had never heard of such a class before.
“What is your… never mind.”
He stopped himself from asking about her class. It was considered rude to ask a hunter about their class.
“What’s the camping area effect? I woke up to some unknown buffs.”
Instead, he asked what he was curious about.
“The camping area effect must be the buff you automatically receive within the campground. It’s related to the weather and condition of the campground. Yesterday was health buffs, but it seems to have changed to attack power today.”
Health buffs and attack power too? A buffer class…?
“But why didn’t my morning greeting quest complete? I said the same thing.”
“You might have missed the ‘cheerfully’ part. The system can be quite strict.”
“Ha, that’s impossible. I’ve been waiting for you to wake up. I was so happy. Strange, strange…”
The woman awkwardly laughed and repeated her morning greeting several times.
However, all attempts failed. Apparently, Donghwa didn’t find her greetings very pleasant.
“I apologize for yesterday. It seems I was wrong to doubt you. Sorry.”
With the campground’s area effect, the quests, and rewards all related to camping…
The identity of this campground was ambiguous, but it was clear that these extraordinary events were all due to the woman’s abilities. Especially, the effects attached to the tent were beyond the capability of an S-rank healing hunter. Perhaps she was S-rank, or even higher.
It was a grave mistake to almost report her as a criminal selling shelters.
“It’s okay. It was a situation that could easily lead to misunderstandings. I was too flustered to explain properly yesterday.”
The woman’s expression brightened slightly compared to before.
“Um, but…”
She seemed to have something else to say.
“…You are Chae Donghwa, the hunter from Recon Team 7, right?”
“Yes.”
“I have a favor to ask…”
Everyone in South Korea knew him. So it wasn’t surprising that she knew his name and team.
Usually, outside dungeons, people approach him for autographs, photos, or phone numbers.
He had never obliged. He was a hunter, not a celebrity.
So, he was prepared to refuse if it was such a request.
“Could you deliver a message to Center Director Yoo Myeong-hyun?”
“Do you know our center director personally?”
“Yes… a little.”
Her request was entirely unexpected.
“I can’t leave the dungeon due to certain circumstances. I’ll be able to leave in time, but could you just tell him ‘Bom is alive in the dungeon’?”
“Can I see your hunter’s license?”
Though his suspicions were eased, he didn’t fully trust her yet. She was a stranger he met just yesterday, with an unclear identity.
“I don’t have a hunter’s license…”
Her voice lacked confidence.
It was possible for a new hunter, as registration is required within six months of awakening.
However, a new hunter reaching deep into an S-rank dungeon didn’t make sense.
“Do you have anything to prove your relationship with the center director?”
“That too…”
Her voice grew weaker, then suddenly, she raised it again.
“Can’t you just tell him that Bom is alive in the dungeon?”
There was no obligation to fulfill the request of someone he barely knew.
Especially since the woman, despite her impressive abilities, was suspicious. He was about to refuse firmly, but then.
“Please, hunter… ”
Looking into her earnest eyes, he found himself unable to speak easily.
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
