! Emergency Notice [Babel]

Seoul, Suwon, Namyangju at 13:50 p.m. on July 7.

Emergency crack alert. Please pay attention to your safety by doing things such as refraining from going outside, prohibiting evacuation and access to dangerous areas, securing the safety of the elderly and the weak, and keeping up with the disaster broadcasts.

Diing, Ring ring.

The cafe that was usually swarming with people as if it was always a national holiday suddenly all turned their heads with the sound of notifications.

After checking the emergency notification, Gyeon Geum-hee turned on the youtube app out of habit.

The home page had already switched to a different version.

This meant that all real time attention was focused on the ‘hunters’.

There were two versions of the Home Page on youtube.

The normal version with regular videos and the Hunter version with Hunter-related videos.

The hunter version was often called the huntube or the right tube because you could switch over to it with a button on the upper right of the screen.

Generation of streaming.

This was a really strong move from youtube that was starting to lose viewers to other platforms that included hunter content.

Every awakened person that had interest in their popularity since their first appearance.

Streaming didn’t work within the tower, but what about in dungeons?

Vlogs, crack videos, etc. that filmed the daily lives of the hunters such as during dungeon attacks and markey caused a stir within the industry.

They would receive a lot of money.

Besides, there were no language barriers included when watching raids.

The number of viewers (=money) skyrocketed across countries.

There was a reason why escapees who only focused on dungeons had a bad public opinion, it was because those escapees could be seen as these youtubers.

And being 17 years old, attending 1st year of high school, class 4.

Gyeon Geum-hee, the youngest of the 3 siblings in her family, was an outside-of-rankings youtuber.

[LIVE!!] Secret broadcast) going from Seoul to Namyangju(inflow is welcomed)

[Single person Broadcast] Eh? Here? All of a sudden? I came to Suwon and ran into a gate.

LIVE sudden gate || Let’s cheer together |

‘Damn, they are fast.’

“Ah, do I have to go home? Wasn’t the monstrosity happening at the tutorial run? Why do cracks always happen in metropolitan areas?”

“There are a lot of heads. So they explode more in terms of population.”

“From today on, I will start replanning my life with the goal of immigrating to Africa.”

“Yeah. The rich already ate it all. You are the entrance cut.”

“Oh, No! Shut up! It’s a record.”

|Namyangju, Suwon. The 5th place Ranker Gyeon Ji-rok of Babylon has arrived.|

The TV at the wall of the cafe.

The Breaking News channel had a clear LIVE label.

A blue crack.

Soaring monsters.

The distance it was being shot from was far away.

The appearance of Gyeon Ji-rok, who somehow managed to jump out of the helicopter, surprised the people at the cafe.

And as soon as he ran towards the top of the building and summoned his spear, the atmosphere changed as if they were watching round 16 of the world cup.

“Waah, what should we do! Your brother is going crazy and looks extremely cool!”

“Seol Ppo’s comments are crazy. Why are you making such a fuss when you also have a brother.”

“…Oh man, how embarrassing. Sniff sniff, pretend you didn’t hear me.”

Gyeon Geum-hee, who was constantly checking the real-time tab, responded without raising her head.

“What did you say?”

“Hey, she is not interested in her brother’s business. You still don’t know that?”

“The more I think about it, the more I wonder. If I shared a blood with a high-ranker, especially if they are half as good as Bambi, I would give you my pocket money.”

“Your brother usually gets allowance from you. Forced pocket money.”

“Ah, I meant. He is like a cub that only lives to raise Carbon Dioxide levels. If a gate appeared above his head, he would be hopeless.”

Even as they chattered, their eyes were still glued to the screen.

Hunters were just like that. They had powers that would catch people’s attention no matter where they were.

Even more so if they were a ranker.

Like Gyeon Ji-rok, the battle of a high-ranker was not something you could see every day.

Gyeon Geum-hee was the only person inside of the crowded cafe who wasn’t looking at the TV.

“Wow… wow, just wow. Did you see that turn just now? Ah, drool worthy. What was Bambi’s rank in the world rankings?”

“I believe it’s the 11th.”

“He is on a different level. He is not human at all.”

“It’s only been a few years since he debuted, and even if you consider that he is a S-rank, his talent is astonishing… Come to think of it ,your family in general is amazing Geumgeum, you and your brother are hunters. I heard your dad was a hunter too? Except for your mom and sister, is this the wanjoni hunter family?”

“I envy you. Having Gyeon Ji-rok alone is heavenly. If it’s just the two of us with Geumgeum, I would feel a bit deprived and strange.”

Gyeon Gyeum-Hee’s fingers which were busy moving stopped.

After raising her head for the first time, Geum-hee lightly laughed.

“What did you say? What kind of deprivation do you have within your family? Also I am not going anywhere! What’s wrong with you?”

“Right. Our Geumgeum is a youtuber, look guys. She has 10k subscribers.”

“I heard yesterday that Bambi has 300 million followers on instagram. 10 thousand and 300 million… you are not crying are you?”

“Kwak Seo-ra, you are crossing the line. I am leaving.”

“Oh why. Where are you going? Geumgeum, are you angry?”

“No. I was planning on leaving anyway. Everyone is all over the place because of the top 10. I am also going to Bukhansan Mountain. Seol Ppo, would you like to come with me?”

Seol Bo-mi gadly got up.

Kwak Seo-ra, who was watching the screen where Gyeon Ji-rok appeared, threw in some words without much thought.

“Hey, what’s wrong with you? Just try using Gyeon Oppa. You will reach 30 million subscribers within an hour.”

Seol Bo-mi who was next to her didn’t even have the time to stop her.

Ack!

Some of the eyes that were directed at the TV looked back at the source of the loud noise.

Gyeon Geum-hee didn’t care and strengthened her hold in her hair.

Kwak Seo-ra, whose head was bent backwards, cried in surprise.

“W-Why Really!”

“Speak through your head a little bit. Even if what you are saying is a fact, don’t just spit it out. Why do you think it’s a fact of ‘violence’ Seo-ra? Because it hurts when it is said. It makes me feel sick. Seo-ra are you a wolf in sheep’s clothing?”

“…S-Sorry.”

“Yeah. You should be sorry. You will be called what you call people. This Geum-hee currently has plans so don’t worry, let’s just prepare it didn’t happen.”

Geum-hee gave out a sweet smile and took her hands away.

And that smile disappeared as soon as she turned around.

Seol Bo-mi slowly looked around and folded her arms.

“I… I didn’t say anything.”

“You are already sucking on Bambi.”

“Yeeah. Geumgeum, feel better. Do you want to get our nails done?”

“I am going to Bukhansan mountain, they are saying Jeong Gil Gaon appeared there. Even if they don’t allow people into the surrounding area if I work hard I can see the way home.”

“What? Why are you saying that now? Uh let’s go.”

Right before she left the cafe, Gyeon Geum-hee looked back at the TV.

As Gyeon Ji-rok hit the ground with his long spear, a tree prison flowed out.

In an instant a forest was born in the center of the city.

The 4th grade monster blood knights were devoured before they could even reach him.

Gyeon Ji-rok didn’t even look back at them and ran straight towards the giant two-legged monster in front of him.

With his eyes engulfed in quiet bliss.

‘Oh my god. The switch is on. He promised he would bring it in today without fail… but where is he and what is he doing now?’

As a spectator she couldn’t even laugh.

After all this was an annual event so it wasn’t entirely wrong was it?

‘How come I was born as a human being. I would be better off as a cat in a rural area.’

Lifa, ha…

Her steps naturally became rough as she thought of it.

Thanks to someone who got mad just looking at it, these kinds of walks were a tradition within the Gyeon family.

Seol Bo-mi rushed after her friend’s angry looking back.

Behind them were the cheers of people celebrating Gyeon Ji-rok’s victory.

***

“Woow. Good job Good job, you are growing.”

“Y-You’re pretty good!”

Tak. Baek Do-hyun lightly landed.

Indeed, a regressor who had competed before would be different no matter what.

When the break ended they were really bummed.

Endlessly killing mutants for two hours straight, after only five hours since the tutorial started, the boss battle was already at sight.

Along their way, they met a mutant village where they enjoyed their meal, and passed through creepy swamps.

There were many things happening but Zio didn’t do much, every once in a while she would flick her gun a bit and that’s it.

Of course, that gun was a demon gun from the demon marksman, but let’s not dwell on the details.

‘Since there is not much challenge it’s getting a bit awkward. Babel, surely… are you suffering?’

Towards an evil star blinded by the incarnation’s love?

Her house was about to collapse, so it turns out there was this redevelopment?

[Your contractor ‘Reader of Fate’ coughs saying he can hear everything.]

[He says Babel is not ignorant of this world and coughs again.]

In the meantime, her growth was increasing well.

+ 00:05:09:15 Growth Buff (x5)

*(on)/off

[Unique skill, ‘Libraryzation’ proficiency: 17.12%]

[Title traits, “Heart of the Dragon” “Magic Screen” (Growth of Phase 2)]

17.12%…

Let’s see.

No matter how many times she might have slept during math class she was a three timer for the college entrance examination, so calculating this much was a piece of cake.

If she safely received the reward for completion, then…

‘Come to think of it, the fault was on the man who deceived me.’

He would succumb with the slightest sympathy.

Gyeon Zio, like a woman in an insensitive cold city, had captured his heart.

HmHm, nodding her head she pulled Na Jo-yeon who was next to her backwards.

Kuung.

They had finally arrived at the final stage of the tutorial which was inside of a rock cave.

The place where Na Jo-yeon used to stand collapsed.

Zio grabbed her and landed while she kept thinking inside her head.

‘Of course, Gyeon Zio still has to show some face, even if she is being deceived by the pitiful face she still has to show some kindness. Especially for the pushover who is generous.’

Grumble- Taang!

“Heuk.”

A trap engine.

Thousands of arrows filled with poison fell down like rain.

While agonising, Zio roughly rolled her feet and created a barrier.

The arrows that hit the barrier bounced back pathetically.

‘I am just trying to save some face but what the hell am I supposed to do?’

Hiisss- Swiish.

“O-Oh mother…?” (something said when someone is scared)

Mandok Cave.

Serpents from another world revealed their fangs under the pillar bridge.

Zio slowly walked over it and borrowed her eyebrows.

The scattered pillar bridges were connected like a straight paved road.

‘There is nothing for me to do. The regressor is too smart. Boss? Can I take the boss’s neck? But I don’t think the tutorial boss will be still.’

If there was something blocking the way it would be destroyed, and if there is no road it would be built by walking for tens of minutes…

Haa.

Gyeon Zio folder her arms together and deeply sighed under the giant statues.

“What? Didn’t you say this would be a boss dungeon? TWhy isn’t there anything? There is nothing to do!”

“…”

“…Jo, Jojo-niim! Behind, Behind!”

“Hm? What is this? I am trying to talk but you are being rude!”

“Cat’s punch.”

“It’s the punch of a cat.”

Baek Do-hyun and Na Jo-yeon thought at the same time.

The final gateway to the [Beginning festival – Human disqualification] scenario with a trivial punch to the air.

The ancient stone statues that used to guard the festival of human disqualification.

The red glow completely faded from the eyes of the gatekeepers of the savage god who woke up after a thousand years.

As a matter of fact, it was a failure.

“For the interior level… who puts up decorations like this.”

“That was always there… no, no… shall we go in?” (The 2nd no in this sentence is used in a polite way)

“Wait. You know I have been thinking about it for a while. The rest of the boss stage should be done by our butler Baek. The number is big, but I am willing to give it to you.”

“Oh my, how can a person’s talent be so big! The distribution is amazing!”

“Don’t you see? He is a great man by nature.”

“Ooh. It’s so big I can’t even look at it. Jojo-niim!”

‘I think that was the mid-boss just now…’

The dead stayed silent.

Besides, even if he was the mid-boss, he died in vain so it wouldn’t be able to say something.

Still, from Baek Do-hyun’s point of view there didn’t seem to be much difference in the tutorial run, except that the hands had become vicious.

Did the difficult level only change for the boss?

While organising his thoughts Baek Do-hyun took the lead and pushed open the giant stone gate.

Alright…

The fog immediately hit them.

It was a thick fog that blurred one’s consciousness.

***

…uh.

…

Oops.

It had forgotten to put resistance towards mental attacks.

Seeing it’s incarnation fall like a doll with a broken thread, the contractor tapped on his forehead.
