Dungeon Hunter (던전사냥꾼)

Chapter 4: Raid

The streets of Hongdae were filled with young people. A place filled with the passion and dream of many young men and women.

At Cafe Amoa in the heart of Hongdae, four men and women were gathered. They were dressed differently and the atmosphere they gave off was entirely different from a common person.

They seemed like a combination that would rarely gather together but they were all tied by one common thing.

All of them were Awakened. In addition, each one of them were Starters and a guild master!

"If only this place was Paris. We could have gathered in Paris and once the stores open...."

The woman in her mid-30s waved her hands. She was frowning slightly while talking about flying to Paris.

Wavy, long hair and charming lips. The beauty spot above the nose and slightly droopy eyes gave her a glamorous type beauty.

Then the bald man wearing sunglasses and sitting opposite her smiled and said.

"I like the quiet."

"Then why did you pick the middle of Hongdae?"

"I don't like noise but my favourite thing is the vibrant energy of young people. Does Ms. Kim hate something like this?"

The woman he called Ms. Kim was actually Kim Suk-soo. Kim Suk-soo clicked her tongue.

"Well, I don't dislike money. By the way, why are we all gathered here?"

"Heaven's Will."

The woman nodded as she roughly guessed the story.

"Ah. It is about Kim Yong-woo. Didn't he go crazy? I heard that he is ranting nonsense every day about ants."

"He used to call me ant excrement."

"Oh my. Excrement is a little harsh."

Kim Suk-soo giggled and laughed.

Then a young man with blonde hair raised a coke to his lips and said.

"Ajusshi, don't humans become crazy every day? Quickly cut to the chase. I don't have time. I need to meet up with my team to decide a strategy to raid a dungeon."

"Isn't the Mithril Guild closed?

"Ajusshi's information is slow. It resumed again yesterday. The guild members are having a hard time. Those who perished in the Philippines...."

"Curiosity killed the cat."

The strong, young man knocked on the table.

"Aish! Don't you know that country was being ruined by creatures and a broker arranged for me to enter by boat? I was clearly invited."

Kim Suk-soo who had been listening quietly asked.

"That reminds me, how is the area? I heard that martial law has been declared."

"Noonim. Don't even say it. Tanks are being called in. Ah, and do you know that the creatures that are killed outside the dungeons don't drop Cores? Do you understand?" (Noonim= respectful way for males to refer to older females)

The young man's words were completely different from how he previously spoke to the man wearing sunglasses. He was a young man so Kim Suk-soo was a difficult opponent for him.

"Really? That is really good news."

Kim Suk-soo didn't have much of a reaction so it seemed like she already knew.

Exactly a week ago, large number of creatures came out from the dungeon in the Philippines. It was that there were 5,000 creatures. The civilians and Awakened received damage but after a few days, the military was organized and started to earnestly clean it up.
