Civil Servant Hunter’s S-class Resignation Log - Chapter 31

Seora, who came to work after four days with a heavy heart, soon lost her mind.

For the first time in a long time, a job she was familiar with awaited her.

“There was a clash between the small guilds over the weekend. There were no casualties, but the problem is that they delayed the dungeon attack because they were fighting amongst themselves, and the breakout almost happened.”

“Were only fools gathered there?”

At Jeong Taeseok’s words, Seora clicked her tongue. Fighting not after the attack, but during the attack? Did they even have brains?

“That’s what I’m saying. Anyway, that’s why we’re in sanctions. I’m sorry to leave you up against such fools, but please do me a favor. Chief Kim Sanghyun of Hunter Management will go with you, so there won’t be any trouble.”

“This is what I am used to doing. It’s all right.”

Taeseok probably said that out of concern for Seora, but there was nothing to worry about.

Seora was originally an F-Rank, so even if she was a member of the Dungeon Management Team, the chores she usually did were like this instead of dangerous dispatch work.

Besides, she wouldn’t be in any danger since the hunter she was going along with was a B-Rank.

‘I will get to take it easy at work after a long time.’

With a sigh of relief, Seora began reviewing the related materials Taeseok gave her.

***

“So the victims are us! They stole the items first!”

Seora together with Kim Sanghyun, a member of the Hunter Management Team in the same management office, went to a small guild called the Hunting Guild.

Guild leader Baek Guntae spat in his mouth and insisted on his innocence.

“The contracts clearly stated how it should be divided yet they stole behind our backs! Can they do this? How can they just ignore the contract and do this!”

It was worth getting mad at.

Unlike larger guilds, small guilds had a lack of members so they usually collaborated.

Since they were in a mutually beneficial relationship they usually did not cause much trouble for each other.

No one would want to collaborate with a problematic guild.

Considering that, for them to try to take the items as their own they must have been pretty good.

The data didn’t specify what the items were, so she would have to ask Kim Sanghyun later.

“The association completed its investigation into it. It’s been confirmed that your problem against the other guild is justified. However, it is not justified to postpone the dungeon attack due to it.”

When Kim Sanghyun pointed that out, the guild leader’s face immediately turned pale.

“That, It’s just that seeing them steal the items made me so angry.….”

“Is it alright to postpone an attack just because you were angry? A breakout almost occurred. Not only that, you were in a rural village. If it was delayed only a little more the villagers would have been killed without any assistance.”

“Ahem. Hem.”

Perhaps he had nothing to say, but the guild leader coughed and quietly turned his gaze away.

But seeing that his face was red he was quite ashamed.

Kim Sanghyun didn’t let it slide even after seeing it.

“According to the rules, hunting guild is not allowed to attack any dungeons for two months. From guild leaders to guild members. You also have to pay a fine of 50 million won within a month.”

When Kim Sanghyun presented related documents in front of the guild leader, he jumped.

Awakeners had special powers and were more likely to earn money than ordinary people.

“What, what? Two months? Five million?! Isn’t that too much? What if a small guild like us can’t attack for two months? We are the victims!”

“As I said, it’s a fine for having a private fight and tossing the attack aside. Besides, a breakout almost occured, so it’s a sense of punishment.”

“Tha……!”

In the middle of his shout he closed his mouth as if he had nothing to say.

If monsters had poured out of the dungeon, the village without any hunters would have been horribly violated.

He was a guild leader, so he wasn’t unaware of that.

Eventually, he took the document, covering his face.

“To give you some comfort, the guild in question has been banned from attacking for half a year and fined 100 million won. Your situation is far better than that.”

“…….”

The face of the guild leader, which had been filled with anger, suffering, sadness, and many other emotions, became peaceful in an instant.

Yes, two months and 50 million won was a much smaller punishment compared to half a year and 100 million won.

He buried his face in his hands and made a strange gasp.

“The ban will take effect from this moment onwards. Don’t forget to check the fine payment date.”

“Y-Yes…… Ah, t-the item in question…….”

“The association has already confiscated it, so don’t have any regrets.”

“I won’t have any! I won’t! I’m glad the association took it.”

Baek Guntae, who was muttering, hit his head on the desk and shed tears for the sadness that had come to him.

Now that there was no reason to be here, the two left the guild room.

She was finally going home for the day! She was very happy that the mission she was assigned to after a long time ended quite early.

The smiling Seora closed the door where the echoes of cries could be heard. She glanced back at the painful cry.

“It won’t be strange if we end up going back and forth with arguments with that guild in the future.”

“I’ll have to come here again if there are any casualties. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen.”

“You’re right.”

Although the association did not deal with clashes between guilds one by one, it was a different story when human life was involved.

Seora desperately hoped that they would fight only if they didn’t try to kill each other.

“By the way, what is the item in question…….”

Just before leaving the hunting guild headquarters, Seora was about to ask Kim Sanghyun.

【Administrator: (ง •ω•)ง✧】

Seora’s footsteps stopped automatically at the unusual message from the administrator.

What? Why are you raising both of your hands like that with shining eyes? Why? Just why?

“Yoon Seora?”

Kim Sanghyun called out from next to her, but Seora’s ears couldn’t hear it.

【Administrator: (ง •ω•)ง⁼³₌₃】

Because another very sinister emoticon that seemed to hint a fight popped up.

“Get out of here right now……!”

Seora, who turned pale at once, tried to shout urgently, but it was too late.

Just as a cold chill came over her, a message appeared.

【The gate has been created. Please be prepared for danger.】

【Gate creation is complete.】

【 ‘Location — Hunting guild headquarters’ is caught in a crack dungeon!】

The ground shook and the view changed in an instant.

The interior of the building, which had been bright until just now, became dark and began emitting a faint light.

The buildings visible in between no longer looked ordinary.

Faint ores emitting light from all around and stones of unknown origin were all over the place.

Seora was standing in the middle of a crack dungeon, one of the more dangerous dungeons, where the area itself suddenly became a dungeon.

She tore her hair and screamed.

“My time off!”

It wasn’t a regular dungeon, it was a crack dungeon!

Because of this shitty dungeon, her time off was gone!

With a silent scream, her precious time off flew away with wings on.

***

Right after the crack dungeon exploded Yeonhee, the deputy leader of the Chasa guild came up to the guild leader.

“This is a call from the association president.”

The Guild leader Jeong Hoyoung received the cell phone Yeonhee gave out without delay.

“Yes, association president. It’s Jeong Hoyoung.”

—Oh, yeah, Hoyoung-ah. I heard you were training. Sorry to interrupt you.

“Not at all, what’s wrong?”

—A crack dungeon bursted at the hunting guild near your headquarters.

At the words of Song Hanna, the association president, Jeong Hoyoung immediately looked at Yeonhee. Yeonhee mouthed out that it had just bursted.

“Do you want me to take care of it?”

—That’s one thing, but there’s a little problem. Our Seorara is in there.

Jeong Hoyoung’s face hardened at once.

It was easy to figure out why Song Hanna directly contacted her instead of asking for general aid.

Jeong Hoyoung was one of the few people who knew about the relationship between Song Hanna and Yoon Seora.

“Me and the guild deputy leader will be right there. Don’t worry, we’ll get her out soon.”

—Thank you, Hoyoung-ah. Phew. I don’t know why she is going through all this. Too many strange things are happening these days. Maybe it’s a curse. My poor baby.

“I’ll find a skilled shaman’s house and report it to you, so please wait a little longer.

In response to Jeong Hoyoung’s serious answer, Song Hanna was delighted over the phone.

—Oh, yes! Then I’ll ask you to do that. It’s a crack dungeon, so be careful.

“Yes, I’ll contact you as soon as we get out.”

Jeong Hoyoung, who finished the phone call with a reverent attitude, immediately got up from his seat.

There was no need to warm up since she just finished training.

“What about the kids?”

“4 A-Rank hunters are on standby. We can start right away.”

“Let’s go.”

As if there was no time to delay, Jeong Hoyoung immediately left the training room.

It took less than 10 minutes to get to the hunting guild headquarters from where they were by walking, so they should arrive soon.

The problem was that Yoon Seora was an F-Rank.

Jeong Hoyoung hoped that Song Hanna’s precious niece would be safe until then.

***

However, Jeon Hoyoung, who led the Chasa Guild, which was ranked second in Korea, had no idea.

It wasn’t Yoon Seora that he should pity, but instead the monsters who come across an S-Rank out of nowhere.

“You filthy things who interrupted me from going home on time. Won’t you come out here? I have to kill you guys as soon as possible so I can get off work.”

The dark guild headquarters, where only a faint light emitted from the glowing stone.

After activating the skill Seora’s left eye shone red.

The glare that shone through the dark couldn’t have been more terrifying

Because of that, the monsters who came to eat humans began to run away in chaos.

“You can’t get out even if you run away, so give up! Hahahaha! I’ll shoot every single one of you to death!”

Come on!

The anger of an office worker, whose time off flew right in front of her nose, was like madness.

Monsters who had no way to escape and no place to hide trembled at the cries of the insane Seora.

A monster has descended on the dungeon.

It was about 10 minutes ago that Seora started running rampant without paying attention to other people’s eyes.

【The awakened ‘Yoon Seora’ has entered the Grade 4 dungeon ‘Ghost Town’.】

Seora didn’t think of anything after she saw the message. Going home on time. Only the same voice repeated over and over.

However, that wasn’t the case for Kim Sanghyun who was with her. His face hardened.

“Ghost town, don’t tell me……!”

Ghost, meaning ghost. It meant that the monster that ruled this place was none other than the ghost species that eroded people’s minds.

(The first Ghost is said as ‘goseuteu’, so basically similar to english. While the second is ‘Yulyeong’ which is the korean word for ghost)

“Aarrrgh! Argh! N-No! Go away! Die! Die Already!”

“Huaaa! N-no! No! Argh!

“Save me! Save me!”

As soon as he realized that, screams rang out everywhere. All of them belonging to the hunting guild members.

Kim Sanghyun looked back at Yoon Seora with a pale face.

“It’s dangerous! Let’s get out of here……!”

But it was already too late.

【The awakened ‘Kim Sanghyun’ is being eroded by the monster, White Ghost!】

A white and translucent monster that suddenly appeared started sucking into Kim Sanghyun’s body.

He reached out a hand towards Yoon Seora with a desperate face.

“S-Seora-ssi! Leave me, come on, run……!”

But before he could finish his sentence, Kim Sanghyun collapsed like a doll with a broken thread.

Oh, my God. Seora, who had lost her mind for a while, was so surprised that her senses came back.

“You took care of me in the midst of being eroded. You’re a good man.”

It was quite touching. She would have to save him and take him out alive.

“The problem is that I don’t have a mental barrier either, what do I do?”

Seora scratched her head with a carefree face, and looked to see if Kim Sanghyun, who had collapsed, was injured.

Because of that, she didn’t notice that a White Ghost was coming down towards her from the ceiling.

A white ghost wrapped around her body like a sheet while she was squatting…….

【The system administrator’s touch surrounds the awakened Yoon Seora. Mental erosion is not working!】

……however, it made a tuk, tik, tang, noise and bounced back off.

“…Huh?”

Seora, who was standing still, and the White Ghost, who was thrown off and fell to the floor, stared at each other for a moment.

A cold silence fell.
