Return To Level Up

Hajin Kang sat in the middle of the dungeon and looked around.

After a brisk hunt, there were no monsters left nearby.

It was a fairly difficult dungeon, so it was better.

The difficulty of the dungeons that currently exist in the world were very easy.

Of course, it's not 100%, and there are some difficult dungeons in the middle, but in general it's easy.

We still have to wait another year for the full-scale dungeon to appear. From then on, no matter how strong Ha-jin is, it may be difficult to enter the dungeon alone.

‘So before that, you have to level up as much as possible and become stronger.’

The best way to get stronger is to level up. As the level goes up, various stats go up and the skill proficiency goes up, and sometimes the seal attached to the skill or title is released.

The first hurdle to level up is level 50. This is because the level up speed is significantly slower from level 50.

But it was because level 50 was too easy, and it was actually worth it.

At level 100, he met a wall again, and it was difficult to the extent that it was different from the wall at level 50.

No matter how much you hunt, you will quickly lose interest in leveling up as your level goes up.

But the real hell started at level 200.

No matter how difficult it is, it's still worth raising up to level 200.

However, from the moment you reach level 200, the section of hell literally begins.

The quick way to get through that hell section was to take risks.

It is a knowledge that is not well known right now, but it was a very common story in the future just before Ha-jin Kang's return.

The more you fight with dangerous monsters, the easier it will be to level up.

In other words, if you fight a monster with a much higher level than the level of the Awakener, you will grow faster.

This was a very important point.

Some monsters have a high level, but hunting itself is not difficult.

If you select and hunt only those monsters, you can safely and quickly raise the level.

Such research was in progress before Ha-jin Kang returned.

But the performance was not good. Because grading the monster was more difficult than I thought.

Hajin Kang was only thinking about dealing with dangerous monsters to level up.

But suddenly there was a way.

At the same time as reaching level 200.

Hajin Kang got up from his seat after getting enough rest. And the monster still moved toward the remaining direction.

The weapons Kang Ha-jin is currently holding are a sword toad sword and a sword made from the eyeballs of a steel buffalo.

It was a luxury piece of equipment that Dong-Hoon Dong made with all his might.

Starting with this, he planned to mass-produce swords for sale using the sword of a sword frog and the eyeballs of a steel buffalo.

Hajin Kang picked up his sword and moved quickly. Anyway, there was no problem in hunting because the search was already over.

Soon we arrived at a place where monsters were scattered.

With a pounding heart, Kang Ha-jin used the skill to peek at the monster.

[Fire Gorilla]

[Level: 202]

[Life: 12458, Magic: 782]

[Fire Fist (A), Heat Release (P)]

Information about the monster appeared in front of my eyes. At the same time as reaching level 200, the spying skill has evolved one step.

The level of the Bull Gorilla was formed between 190 and 210. So, he was a monster that perfectly matched Ha-jin Kang's level now.

“Woah woah woah!”

A bull gorilla found Ha-jin Kang and screamed.

Whoops!

The gorilla's fist caught fire.

Knock Kung Kung Kung!

The gorilla rushed towards Kang Ha-jin.

Whoo!

The gorilla's fist flew towards Kang Ha-jin's face. As I got closer, the heat hit me.

Whoops!

The flames that had wrapped around the gorilla's fist spread and attacked Kang Ha-jin.

Hajin Kang swung his sword towards the flames.

damn!

Cold air flowed from the sword and split the flames in two. And at the same time, the gorilla's head was blown off as well.

Koo!

The fire gorilla fell in vain.

This was the second thing that changed when I reached level 200. Now it was possible to overwrite attributes on weapons.

Up until now, to catch a fire gorilla, you had to fight fiercely while rolling until your body was covered with dirt.

However, as soon as he reached level 200, he simply dealt with the fire gorilla.

It seemed that it would be possible to deal with several animals at the same time instead of one at a time.

Kang Ha-jin looked down at his hand and clenched and opened his fist.

“It’s level 200…….”

Before returning, I tried to remember when I reached level 200.

Ha-jin Kang became a celebrity from the time he first registered as an Awakened. Even at that time, buffers were very precious. However, it was natural that a talented person who could solve both buffer and healer at the same time appeared.

There were many options, but in fact, Kang Ha-jin's fate was decided.

She had no choice but to join the Skyline Guild, a guild sponsored by the Jeyoung group.

Because that was the result of the negotiations between the Jaeyoung group at the time.

It was then that she met Jo Won-young. At that time, Jo Won-young was able to grow rapidly thanks to her Kang Ha-jin.

Of course, it was possible because of his outstanding talent and skill.

He then moved out of the Skyline Guild and moved between several guilds because he wanted a change. But his life on the Skyline was the longest.

Well, after all, I ended up in a situation where I had no choice but to go to the team with Jo Won-young.

Anyway, at that time, Kang Ha-jin received the full support of the Skyline Guild and worked hard to level up and grow.

However, it was never easy to exceed level 200.

“So…was it after the first plague was over?”

Even after two years at the Skyline Guild, she was still at level mid-to-late 100.

But everyone was surprised at how fast it was.

And the first disaster struck.

A lot of dungeons suddenly appeared in the world, and some of the existing dungeons that went beyond saturation exploded.

Since they did not explode sequentially, but simultaneously, the damage was indescribably severe.

The army was mobilized, and the Awoken had to risk their lives in the war against the invading monsters.

Ironically, the Awoken grew faster than ever before in battles that risked their lives.

Based on that, Hajin Kang reached level 200 not long after the first disaster ended.

Research on hunting methods and level-up continued steadily since then.

However, the awakening did not suddenly increase the speed of leveling up.

Because there weren't many Awoken who took too much risk to level up quickly.

Anyway, Kang Ha-jin was leveling up at an unprecedented speed.

'Still...'

And the peek skill will be a really big help in breaking that stagnant state.

‘I have to keep checking to see if there is any way to develop my peeping skill other than leveling up.’

With that thought in mind, Ha-jin Kang moved towards the bull gorilla in the distance.

Now it's time to finish this dungeon.

* * *

Hajin Kang succeeded in clearing up all the dungeons they had before the war between Taesan and Geoseong was over.

Thanks to that, I raised my level quite a bit, and got a lot of monsters and various items, including manastones.

The war between Taesan and Geoseong was almost over.

Again, the giant castle could not cross the wall of Mount Tai and was running towards the end of its downfall.

In the meantime, Myeong-woo Joo sent dungeon information to Ha-jin Kang whenever he had spare time.

They no longer send money, but what they have sent so far has been enough.

In fact, it seems that Joo Myeong-woo was trying to escalate this war by attracting the black market, but it failed because of what Ji Chang-ki used.

I don't know what he was thinking when Joo Myung-woo first took Kang Ha-jin's hand, but now he seems to have given up on his life.

He didn't want Kang Ha-jin's help.

Kang Ha-jin remembered the last meeting with Joo Myung-woo. Then he said:

'This is the last struggle. I thought it was fitting to die like this.’

As he said that, his eyes were more lively than ever. And he premiered something. At least, that's how it was in Kang Ha-jin's view.

Ha-jin Kang has decided not to worry about the war between Taesan and Geoseong any more.

That was also what Joo Myung-woo wanted.

This alone would not be able to bring down Taesan, but it was enough that Ji Chang-gi's progress was greatly hindered in the future.

‘I need to hire an intelligence hunter soon.’

In fact, he didn't even think much of it when he returned. However, as time passed, and as I proceeded with various tasks, my thirst for information grew.

Even before the regression, there were several well-known organizations for information.

However, most of these organizations belonged to large corporations, large guilds, or famous families, or traded professionally with them.

It would be nice to have such an organization under his control, but in reality, it was not something Kang Ha-jin could do now.

But there was no need to choose such a large organization. Because in Ha-jin Kang's memory, there was a list of those who showed superior capabilities than any other information organization.

And the name at the top of the list came to mind.

‘Myung In-hyuk.’

In fact, Myung In-hyuk was not in the world by the time Ha-jin Kang returned. He's dead before that.

He actually worked as an intelligence hunter for only three years.

But his achievements during those three years were very impressive.

Ha-jin Kang only found out about Myung In-hyuk after his death, and he investigated him out of curiosity.

And he drew conclusions based on the results of all the investigations. If he were alive, the best intelligence hunter at the time would have been Myung In-hyuk.

If Myung In-hyuk had formed an organization without working alone, he would not have died, and if he did, the composition of the information organization would have been completely different.

Myung In-hyeok had a natural talent for collecting information. But he couldn't just be the best he could be.

He was an Awakener with skills specialized in collecting information.

He was interested in doing research, so he knew about his past to some extent.

“At this time, maybe…”

* * *

Myung In-hyuk patted his trembling head with his fingers. Overwork was evident. It's been several days since he's been doing this since he hasn't slept.

“Are you still far away?”

Director Jeong exclaimed, who sat down on the sofa and put his feet on the table.

“It’s all over.”

Myung In-hyuk answered that, then clenched his teeth again and concentrated on his work.

He even woke up and tried to investigate other people, but it was dreadful, but it was unavoidable.

He has to eat to live.

In fact, he even considered a job change. But he couldn't. There was no one who didn't know that this floor was just one bridge over.

No, that wasn't the problem. Because there was a reason why I could never leave Director Jung.

So Myung In-hyeok decided not to think about anything other than just do what Director Jung gave to him.

'Still, this is a bit too much. It’s too much work.’

Myung In-hyuk worked like that and left work as a sloppy green onion kimchi.

The house was a rooftop room on the roof of a three-story building used as an office.

He put a container box on the roof and decorated it as a house, and he honestly couldn't die.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

I wanted to move, but I couldn't. Because Director Jung opposes it.

As Myeong In-hyeok left the office, the words of Director Jeong were stuck in the back of the head.

“I put my brother’s medicine on the desk there. Fuck it, it’s dirty, hard to find and expensive.”

Myung In-hyuk paused for a moment. He clenched his molars and stared briefly at the white medicine bag on the desk by the door.

This was the shackles that kept Myung In-hyuk from running away.

Myung In-hyeok grabbed the medicine bag and left the office.

“Ttttttt, I thought I had become a little more obedient, but then again.”

A bright blue color appeared in Director Jung's eyes and then disappeared.

He looked at his smartphone again as if it had ever happened and concentrated on the game.

And Myung In-hyuk stood outside the door and heard the muttering of Director Jeong.

But now he couldn't help it.

He climbed the stairs helplessly.

This building was not only his workplace, but also his prison. Because he couldn't even get out.

Myeong In-hyeok, who arrived on the roof, walked to the container box in the corner. And he opened the door.

Then I heard a voice from behind.

“Myung In-hyuk?”

Myung In-hyuk had goosebumps on his back. He turned slowly to see who had called him.

A man was standing. It was strong Hajin.

"who are you?"

"customer."

"customer? Did Director Jung send you here?”

Myung In-hyuk tilted his head after asking that question.

“Isn’t there any way to send guests directly here?

“I don’t know if it’s Director Jeong or what, so let’s go inside. Oh. You look young too, can I talk to you?”

“It looks like you have already let it go.”

“Let’s get over the little things. Come on, let's go inside Because the entrance to the building is blocked, my ankles are sore from jumping from there.”

Myung In-hyuk looked at the side where Kang Ha-jin glanced. And he smirked.

Because there was a 15-story building standing there.

In any case, strangely, there was no borderline. Maybe it's because they have no expectations of life at all.

“Come in.”

Hajin Kang smiled and followed Myung Inhyuk into the container. As soon as I saw it, I checked Myung In-hyuk's status window with the peek skill.

I was able to confirm one of the main skills as my proficiency increased recently, but again, I had good skills like the best information hunter.

As she followed her inside, Myeong In-hyuk's younger brother was welcoming his older brother with a bright smile.

And Kang Ha-jin's eyes, which reflexively used the peeping skill, grew slightly.

She really was here to be the best she could be.
