Seoul Station Druid

Chapter 4: Field

Bounty Tip

The Awakening Criminals were on the list, but there was no way to find them. If we catch one, it'll be worth a fortune.

Looking at the photos, the steps of the guardian slowly shifted to the side of the billboard, and another wall appeared.

Subdue Goblins

Appearance of Goblins in Suwon Field.

500,000 KRW per Hunting Reward

"Water source?"

The Guardian strokes his chin and asks his neighbor.

"What's a field? "

"Hmm? You don't know the field? "

"Yes."

The man was baffled by the patronizing answer.

"Abandoned land. "

"Abandoned?"

An area with insufficient defensive capability, to be exact.

The hunting grounds were also on Earth, not beyond the portal.

"Where do I pay for them? "

A strange smile was raised on the mouth of the guard who heard the explanation.

*

As I passed Anyang City Hall and approached near North Suwon, I saw a wall extending to the left and to the right. It is about 5 meters high and stretches so far that the tip cannot be seen by the naked eye.

"Where does that lead? "

"Around the center of Seoul. You can see it on the map app. "

Watching the taxi driver who didn't want to talk back, Guardian placed his cell phone at the top of the shopping list.

"Gate 27 is here, sir. "

In front of the guard, after calculating the price, you see a gateway blocking the road. A big number with a thick iron door and 27 on it.

Open that door and it's a field.

Land that cannot be expected to protect the country.

Hunting grounds where prey lurk.

You walk towards the gate.

When I heard the taxi driver talking alone, Seoul was divided into 12 sections.

There are over 100 gates going back and forth within the zone, and dozens of external gates going into the field.

Military forces were stationed around the outer gate, and national institutions such as clearing houses and bloodstone exchanges.

The 7 metres high wall itself tasted quite magnificent as it approached.

The guard approaches the barricade at the gate and the guards, armed with guns, are stopped in gray uniform.

"What are you looking for? "

"I'm here to hunt. "

"Can I have the Mercy? "

"Nothing."

Despite the defender's words, the soldier's expression remained unchanged.

"Go back. It's dangerous for the laypeople outside the gates." "

"I'm fine."

The soldier looks at his superior in his own words.

With a sergeant in charge, he reaches out his hand, grinning.

It doesn't matter if you try to stop them.

"Can I see some ID, please? "

You gave me a new Resident Registration from the Resident Centre.

When I plugged it into the handset, I had various histories. Without a criminal record, there's no reason to stop him from leaving.

"Mr. Park Soo-ho? "

"That's right."

"Identity check complete. Sign here to get in and out. "

The agreement was that the state was not responsible for anything that happened outside the gates.

The guard signs off without a worry, and opens a small door that only people can enter under a thick iron gate.

Most of the way through the big door was through the car, so the small iron door was easily accessible without a queue.

The soldier's gaze is drawn to the back of the guard, slowly walking out the gate.

"Sergeant Kim, can I send it that way? "

"What can I do to stop you from killing yourself on your own feet? "

"Well, is it? Suicide?"

"Fuck. I don't know, man. It's either that or go out there. "

The appearance of protection is completely unprepared.

There were no supplies backpacks, no defenses, no weapons. And I walked without a motorcycle or a car.

What's to stop a madman from walking into the field empty-handed?

"Death by looters, death by monsters. "

The slow walking guard looks exactly like it.

That light step felt like there was no sense of life at all. I feel no tension at all.

'Hunting's a bitch. '

In Sergeant Kim's eyes, only a suicide was seen.

*

The guard walks the road.

Deserted land makes you think of a ruined civilized city, but the road is surprisingly intact.

Perhaps the traffic network with other cities outside Seoul remained constant. By the way, how many cities like Seoul are left?

I hope Seoul isn't the only one left in Korea.

The goal is to hunt, but not to rush.

I didn't come back to Earth to make money.

Money is just a means. Viewing the life of the civilized world on Earth itself is of great significance.

As I walk, I think I was in a hurry.

My brother came here to hunt because he was angry with the debtors.

'I don't know how much. '

Blame it on me. By the time I got out, I had to finish the hunt for Awakening.

Maybe there's not enough dimensional energy.

I looked around slowly.

There was a rare man in the field.

Laborers repairing the roads.

A group of soldiers on a mission, whether hunting or scouting.

There's no way of knowing where they belong, but people dressed in uniform and in packs.

Everyone is driving.

"I'll have to buy a car. "

As I added one more to my purchase list, I noticed a ruin full of bombed or collapsed building debris.

There were people there, too.

"What? This is our district. "

A group of people are loading something onto the truck.

The water source was abandoned three years ago.

Everything that could have been worth a fortune was wiped out, but there were still people picking up scrap metal and recycled materials.

The truck said neogene distribution.

I can't feel the monsters' vitality around here. Only those who pick up scrap metal.

"Look at the work. "

The guard walks past them.

Peeking at people's lives means a lot to them.

I feel like the loneliness and loneliness that I felt on my bones is washing away.

Face to face, talk and mingle, and savor the return to society.

I hear people chattering.

"What is it? A mercenary? "

"Let's not worry about it. "

There are two types of guys walking around dressed like that on the field.

A high-rank Awakener who's confident in his skills, or a lunatic.

The guard has walked away from them for a long time. The sun is setting.

One or both of the skills of those who felt frequently disappear.

After a while, the city without light was plunged into darkness.

A familiar darkness.

"Time to hunt. "

The neighborhood's tallest seven-story mall.

The guard runs toward the building.

Popot!

The unbelievable speed of being human.

But if you don't like something, there's a serious look on your face.

Is that a sequelae?

I was about seven floors away, but my legs were running low.

The guard runs against the wall and rises over the building.

Blame!

On the roof of the building with two leaps, I looked around in plain sight.

Knng, knng. The wind picked up a scent of grass.

I can also feel the strange noises mixed with the sound of worms crying.

"Should we go over there? "

I flew a new one towards the place where the smoke rose.

Popot!

When we arrived on the rooftop of the building, there were a group of people who had set a campfire.

'This sucks. '

I flew back to where I felt a new direction.

I was able to hit five ruins and meet strange looking creatures in the apartment complex.

I think you're right. '

It resembled the look I had seen before coming.

I approached them a little closer and carefully watched their behavior.

There were seven of them, and they were slowly approaching the security room at the entrance of the apartment.

It's like hunting a herd.

I feel something faint inside the guard room, but I can't see inside from the rooftop.

You kill the pilot, climb down the wall and approach with caution.

You can see their prey over their shoulders.

'Wild Dog.'

You grunt desperately, but the blood is already in jeopardy.

The watchful guard and the eyes of the wild dogs met.

"Need some help?"

The hound cannot speak of man, but the Guardian listens.

No, I felt the will.

"Then these are my prey now. "

I was conceived, not taken.

As the guard approached, the Goblins roared and swayed.

"Queek!"

"Sew!"

A moment of embarrassment.

The Goblins' eyes widen when it became clear that the person who appeared was alone. Rather than running away, I decided to hunt humans, too.

"Quay!"

Three Goblins rush at the same time.

They're shoddy, but with wooden spears.

Slug!

A Goblin lacking in power, but that sharp spear was powerful enough to pierce human blood. Thrust in all three directions simultaneously to avoid it.

Qajik!

Humans chase spears with the back of their hands, as if chasing flies, and grab the embarrassing Goblin's collar. One in each hand. And one with a neck on his foot.

Kwaek!

At the same time, three Goblins snap their necks and sag.

"Queek!"

You chased the Goblins scattered everywhere screaming.

Two of them snapped their necks a few steps back.

On the contrary, one of the runaways flies the spear of his fellow Humans, and the other flies the stone from the floor.

Slut! Kwaek!

One man's head explodes with a spear.

It took less than three seconds for the lives of seven Goblins to die.

Locate the class.

Class already exists.

Fatal Error

Privileged Achievement Shop Open

The guard frowns in a message window with a rope in front of him.

"It rises on Earth. "

Why a guardian left alone on an unknown planet could become the King of the Forest.

Being in a body that hasn't aged for over a thousand years.

Guardian thought it was because of this message that made reality a game.

"It's been a while. "

Since my body has been trained beyond the limit, there have been quite few notifications of stat increases.

I really didn't expect to be bombed by a series of messages when I returned to Earth. That's strange too....

"I've never heard a message like this before. "

There was only one message he had met.

stats increase!

This message contains a stat increase such as Strength, Health, and Agility. This is the first message in a thousand years.

"Is this Awakening? "

I felt it.

Are you qualified to go through the portal now?

So it doesn't hurt anymore?

The guard twitches his jaw and thinks:

People awaken when dimensional nuggets accumulate in their bodies and cross the limit. And with that phenomenon, we realize one thing: superpowers.

"Why don't I have one? "

You know what kind of superpowers you have, and you don't think of anything. The guardian, who was thinking of the bear, read a message that was still floating on one side.

"Achievement store."

Popot.

A transparent window grew before my eyes.

Achievement Store Holds 7

Consumables

Equipment

Skills

"Hmm."

The Guardian opened tabs one by one to confirm it.

There was no equipment or skill that could be purchased for 7 points.

The lowest rank is also scored more than 10 points.

"All you can buy is water and bread. "

1 point for a bottle of water and 2 points for bread.

Defence had purchased two things:

Pot.

I saw a jar of water and bread in my hand, and laughed nonsense.

"That's ridiculous."

And

"That pisses me off. "

I sold everything in the achievement store.

How good would it have been if there had been a store like this, not a stat rise in the last thousand years? If I had, I wouldn't have been so naive.

I can't believe this is happening when we get back to Earth.

"System error. "

Maybe you're the mutant who made the mistake?

The other Awakeners were like me, but they still needed to be confirmed.

All the messages disappeared as I shook my hand.

"Money first. "

As the guardian attempts to retrieve the Goblin corpse, the stray dog lies at his feet.

"Hnng, Hnng. "

I have a deep cut on my hind leg. But the bleeding's already stopped.

The guard strokes the wild dog. Communication with animals is the ability that protection has gained over the years. I can feel the gratitude of him.

"You don't have to thank me. I'm hunting.... "

The stroke of the guardian stops.

I could feel his vital energy still shrinking, even though the bleeding stopped.

"You're dying. "

"Turn it off."

"Poison."

The eyes of the Guardian are on the Goblins.

An alien species I've never seen before. I didn't know it was poisoned.

They get hurt and become addicted and die.

I looked at nature's providence in a very natural way. Meanwhile, the feelings of the wild dogs continue to spread.

desperate and desperate.

"What do you want? "

Do you want me to save you? The Guardian tilts his head, but I can feel another move in the administration room.

"Queek, queek. "

A skinny puppy approaches and licks her dying mother.

When the guardian looked at the puppy quietly, her feelings suddenly changed.

"I can't take care of this guy because I'm so relieved "

The horse could not be continued.

I could barely hold the breath of my mother's dog.

"Queek, queek. "

I shook my head as I saw a man rubbing his head against his mother who was restless. Maybe it's because of fate, too.

"Do you want some bread? "

The first man on Earth.

That's how the Guardians flocked.
