Civil Servant Hunter’s S-class Resignation Log

Chapter 17

‘So, where would be the best place to watch from?’

Of course, she had no intention of going back to the association. It’d be a shame to lose such an opportunity like this.

After heading to the corner and making sure no one was there, Seora quickly took out the jacket the administrator had given her. As the default effect, Stealth, was activated, her appearance was blurred. Unless you’re an S-class, you wouldn’t even notice her presence.

Seora sat on a tall tree near the gate where she could see everything clearly.

“Mm. Weapon delivery complete.”

Just then, she saw Joo Eun handing a sword to Do Junyoung. Do Junyoung, who had a surprised expression for a moment, soon frowned faintly because of whatever he just heard.

“Is that the raid party for this dungeon?”

There were four S-class members: Do Junyoung, Joo Eun the Eternal Guild’s leader and his deputy guild leader Kang Hanseo, and Guardian Spirit Guild’s leader Yoo Soo-eun.

There were five A-class members, including the deputy guild leader of Guardian Spirit Guild.

The number of healers alone was three, including S-class Yoo Soo-eun. It should be enough number for a raid.

“Besides, Joo Eun is ranked second in the unofficial rankings.”

Joo Eun was the second strongest in Korea after Song Hanna. The raid he led had never failed. That’s why even if she had to stand, Seora must watch this.

When the formation was formed, nine Hunters entered the gate.

The surroundings suddenly became silent. It was a silence created by people’s fear.

It was understandable.

If you failed to conquer a Level 2 dungeon, it didn’t end with just getting hurt and dying. If a Level 3 dungeon was a level where several cities were in danger, a Level 2 was a catastrophe that could destroy a country.

Especially in Korea, the damage would be severe as the land was small.

If Seora was an F class, she might be shivering in the office. A bitter smile came to her face.

“Administrator-nim, can’t you interfere with the creation of a gate? Not to manipulate it, but to stop it from ever happening?”

[Administrator: (◞‸◟；)]

“… is that impossible even if you’re an administrator?”

[Administrator: ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д`ﾟ)ﾟ｡]

Seora was sure of the answer when it replied.

At least the gate occurrence was not at all what the system administrator intended.

Even complete control was impossible.

Come to think of it, it had only created a shield even in the Level 3 where they met for the first time, and in the Level 4, it had only prevented the magic of the gate from leaking out.

‘What is a gate, where is the dungeon connected, and who is the system administrator?’

Seora had vowed not to pay any attention, but she still couldn’t help but question it once in a while.

Seora let off the administrator who kept sending crying message as if it was helpless.

“Well then, it’s about time, so let’s go inside too.”

Seora didn’t mean to go and do anything, she just wanted to dip her feet in it. Maybe one day she would be able to defeat a Level 2 dungeon too.

Let’s pack our weapons first. Leave the mace as it is recognizable, and use a sniper rifle instead…

“Ah.”

In Seora’s eyes, the gloves occupying space in her inventory came into view. Come to think of it, she had forgotten about it.

“Whoa, this is great.”

When she took it out and put it on, it stuck to her hand like skin except for the index finger, probably designed for snipers. Thanks to this, there was no inconvenience at all in handling guns. Rather, it seemed to be more comfortable than the L-class jacket, as if it existed just for her from the beginning.

Seora opened the gloves’ information window with curious eyes.

[Equipment Information]

Name: The Only Gloves (S-class)

Type: Gloves

Unique Characteristic: Completely absorbs the recoil of all firearms.

Special Note: This is the only gloves in the world made by the system administrator for the sole contractor. Under the protection of the administrator, it will never suffer from permanent damage.

“…”

The unique characteristic made S-class items pale in comparison. However, there was something more peculiar than that.

The one and only gloves made by the administrator itself.

The chest tightness she had felt when she had received the EX-class weapon or the L-class jacket worth 80 billion coins was nothing compared to this.

Gloves just for me. Something that exists only for me.

“… It really is like a Christmas gift.”

[Administrator: (⊙ ω ⊙)??]

“The contract with the administrator itself.”

Seora gently stroked the glove that wrapped around her hand.

She had said the same thing when she had received the jacket yesterday, but she changed her mind after receiving the gloves. It was the contract with the administrator itself that felt like a real Christmas gift.

“What if I become spoiled if you keep giving things like this?”

[Administrator: (ง •ω•)ง✧]

“You’re going to accept it? Oh my. You’re not even my mom or dad, how can you deal with my bad habits?”

But it didn’t feel bad. Embarrassed for nothing, Seora wiped her face once with her gloved hand.

Following the L-class jacket and EX-class weapon, there was also the only one S-class gloves in the world.

She didn’t think she would be scared at all even if the one before her now was a Level 1 dungeon, not a Level 2.

***

Thanks to the Stealth effect of the A-class necklace and L-class jacket, Seora was able to enter safely without being detected by the Hunters controlling the area around the gate.

[The Awakened ‘Yoon Seora’ has entered the Level 2 dungeon ‘Cradle of the Harpoon Snake’.]

“Uph!”

At the same time, Seora immediately closed her nose and mouth in the coming poison. The Harpoon Snake must be a poisonous snake. She took out a gas mask and put it on right away,

“This place is more like a snake hole rather than a cradle.”

Looking around, the first thing she noticed was a large space that was incomparable to the place where the Werewolf was.

[Administrator: ◝(๑⁺д⁺๑)◞՞]

The administrator chimed in as if telling her to be careful. Seora held the sniper rifle in her hand. She didn’t know if it was thanks to the gloves, but the gun felt more attached to her hand.

‘Is the raid party over there?’

As Seora leaned her back against the wall and poked her head out, the first thing she saw was something huge.

‘Whoa, that’s awesome.’

It was a green harpoon almost the size of a man. It was also connected to the snake’s tail.

‘Crazy. Is there a harpoon on its tail? It that why it’s called Harpoon Snake?’

Even the dead snake’s body length seemed to be several hundred meters, and its thickness was no joke. How could you have poison in a body like that? Truly a Level 2 dungeon monster.

‘And yet there are already a few dead. S-classes are real monsters, too.’

The snake corpses continued all the way into the cave. Seeing the clean cut, Do Junyoung must have killed it with his sword, and the ones that died from the explosion were probably caused by the skill of the Tanker Kang Hanseo, the deputy guild leader.

‘Hiic, what is that?’

And as soon as she found the innermost snake body, Seora opened her eyes wide. This one was dead with thick arrows from its head to its tail.

One could tell just by looking at it. That’s what the Ranger, the Eternal Guild’s Leader, killed.

‘They said he’s the strongest in the shooter class. I guess it’s true. Whoa, how can anyone shoot as many arrows as that?’

What skill does he use? What’s his weapon? How does he fight? Seora was very curious because she was in the same shooter class.

The moment Seora put out her head a little more, wondering if she might be able to see more properly.

Chupack!

She heard the sound of something sticky and heavy falling behind her. She immediately swung her body around and positioned herself, but she couldn’t shoot.

“An egg?”

An enormously large egg, wrapped in sticky body fluid, lay on the ground. It was also steaming hot, and the shell looked soft as if it had just gotten out to the world…

‘… Shit.’

I forgot for a moment that snakes are as good at hunting as they are at hiding.

Seora looked up. Ssssssskk. The snake clinging to the ceiling looked straight at her and opened its mouth.

But something was strange.

The harpoon, which she thought would be only on the tail, was also attached to the tip of its tongue. Even yellow poison was coming out of the harpoon on the tip of the tongue.

‘Is this what a Level 2 dungeon monster is like?’

Seora swept down the jacket she was wearing.

“L-class jacket, I can only trust you.”

Then Seora flew straight to the other side.

Boom! The place where she had just been before was completely destroyed due to the harpoon on the tip of the snake’s tongue, which had grown several tens of meters in an instant.

“Hiyaa, there’s always a mountain over a mountain.”

Obviously, even though it was only a grade difference, the level of risk was not even comparable to that of the Werewolf.

“I don’t want to get caught fighting for nothing. I just want to take a tour at the dungeon. I’m going to jump out.”

Seeing that there were a lot of signs of snakes nearby, Seora didn’t think the raid party would come this way right away, but no one could be sure.

Besides, isn’t there the second place in the country’s unofficial rankings? Since it’s a blue gate, monsters will not be able to follow me, so let’s just jump out.

‘Second place, please take care of the rest of the work.’

Adieu.

Seora activated the anklet with Haste effect. She was planning to run straight out of the gate, which was not far away.

But just before she put strength into her legs and jumped.

[Warning! The Boss Monsters of Level 2 dungeon “Cradle of the Harpoon Snake” hatches!]

With an unbelievable message, the shell of the large egg next to her was torn apart.
