Suggestion

I spoke while pressing my temples, Adam, you No, Thinking about it, this wasnt his real name, What was your real name?

Even if I pronounced it, it was a name that humans wouldnt be able to hear and follow. Just call me in the current identity, like Adam.

Alright, Adam. So, you are. I couldnt think straight.

To speak in a human concept, it means that youre a student preparing for masters, right? It means that youre a graduate student.

You insult me with such a comparison.! Adam showed that he was appalled with his expression and tone.

But you just said your profession was a student.

This was why the mechanical translation of the words that ignore the cultural background led to a misunderstanding! The profession of a student in our world was completely different from that of Earth. And the hurdle that Im preparing for wasnt as simple a process as you .

Before he went on and on with his explanation, I was all ears for a while, but it didnt feel very sensible. I reached out my hand and stopped him, Okay, okay. And the purpose of your stay on Earth was to gather samples of monsters?

When I was tracing his steps, I saw the scene of him carefully gutting various monsters and storing them. I was wondering for what reason he was taking them. Was it for research purposes?

Yes. I need a dungeon monster connected to a dimension in an early tutorial stage.

He said that he came to North Korea after leaving the official activity scene to collect various samples from a region that Breaks continually happened.

For sure, for that condition, this would be the ideal place.

A location where he didnt have to be appeared.

but hes just a student?

A being whose profession was in studying and research received an SSS-Rank when he came over to Earth, and he was equipped with superior battle power incomparable to humans. He also had a strange skill that didnt require Mana usage. Were all of the species in the tutorial beasts like him?

Well, have you asked everything that you were curious about me? Now, its my turn to ask.

Expectations glowed from his eyes. He asked as if he couldnt hold it back anymore, That item, where was the dungeon that you found the [Door of Hope]?

I explained the path that led me to acquire the ring, and I informed him that the gate connected to that dungeon had already been closed. And as I did so, Adams face soon distorted with disappointment.

What, its not an acquisition, but its an additional reward?

The acquisition meant the things that lay around dungeons like the devils sword, and additional rewards meant that it was acquired from the choices that the system gives after the Clear.

Adam sighed, You picked this among the random rewards? Youre one lucky guy.

I asked, Does it matter if this was a dungeon acquisition?

Of course, it does! It means that part of the Sebrarian empire was used as a material to compose the middle dimension where the dungeon was!

Sebrarian Empire? Those words were mentioned again. I spoke about the fact that I inferred from the item descriptions, That thing, I dont know which dimension did the country exist in, but didnt it fall apart ages ago?

You know about it well, dont you? But since the middle dimension itself was of dimensions that transcends time and space so the period didnt matter.

What I didnt know about here was that it was a combination that even transcended time, It combines the space of different points in time, you said?

Yeah, the reason why the monsters that have a certain level of civilization, and differ in clothing and weapons, depending on the dungeons, was that the dimension or the point in time it was taken from might be different. He returned to the original topic and asked about the internal environment of Siheung 8 Dungeon. It was the information discussed in detail among the media, but seeing that he seemed to be unaware, he must have been here for a long time.

He clicked his tongue after listening to my answer, Apart from the portal, wasnt it an environment without a trace of civilization?

Indeed, it was. The fact that there were many floating wastelands in the air and covered with thick fog was interesting, but it was more like a natural environment that wasnt affected by the touch of civilization.

It would be meaningless to go there myself now.

As I was listening, I got curious, Are you looking for a trace of the Sebrarian empire?

Of course!

He was excited after seeing my ring because he expected it to be an acquisition. He was excited at the hope that the field in the dungeon was an old downtown of the Sebrarian empire and that he could find more items relating to the empire.

Those artifacts are separately categorized with the name of Empirical Heritage. Most species that finished the tutorial are frantically looking for it!

What was such a meaningful thing? He explained with much more enthusiasm. Every item that mentioned the empire was more valuable than those of the same value. Those items caused an interdimensional war!

Wait, I have five of those on me.

Adam identified the [Door of Hope], which was the ring I had equipped, but I didnt think he had noticed the [Stardust Wing] absorbed in my bodyseeing that he hadnt mentioned it yet. Apart from the two I had equipped, I have three more, including [The 3rd Class Imperial Guard Program] that I gave to Nate. These items contained the keywords of the empire.

It was the right choice to put those conditions in the deal with the Spirit.

I asked him, thinking that I should attempt something similar next time I have another chance to deal with the spirit, Then do you plan to stay here and continue hunting monsters?

For the pure purposes of collection and research, Hed never done anything significant in my previous life, apart from disappearing. It bothered me that he threatened to slaughter the refugees a while ago, but I had caused the situation by stalking him.

He replied in a relaxed tone, Hmm, well, I was thinking about getting back to my original world within this year since Im almost done with analyzing patterns over here.

It was not much different from the time when his traces completely disappeared in my previous life.

Rather than the possibility of something happening after he met Angelica in the future, did he depart because it was about time?

It may only have been that their timings overlapped. But then, Yeah, I was going to. There was a strange light hovering around his eyes that bothered me, By the way, Im sure Ive never seen your face before when I was going along with the human race. If you had your whole body plastered with SS-Class, and you had got the [Door of Hope] as a reward, youd definitely be on the top of the list in this dimension, but how do I not know? It hasnt even been a few months since I buried myself in this land.

Clearly, the pace at which I grew was extremely rapid, and it hadnt been long since the global media began to deal with me. Most of the cases that made me known would have happened while Adam was wandering in old North Korean soil.

Hmm, The eyes looking at me were full of interest, Lets check you out.

Swwash!

The air broke apart, and a Hunter-exclusive terminal popped out. Since this was near Fortress City, it wouldnt be too hard to catch the signal. Quickly after manipulating the device, he seemed to have found something.

Oh, here it is! There have been so many articles in the past few days its not hard to find about you, he laughed with his teeth revealed, Thats exactly the same face behind the mask,

When he floated the hologram in the air, my face came up in a big frame with the newspaper article. He quickly read the article with his hand on his chin. Then he tilted his head, Its weird. This is too weird. You have achieved this much in less than half a year? He stared at me as if he were observing me, Id understand if you were of a species of another world pretending to be human like me. But its not that either, His eyes grew bigger, Literally, it means that youre a genius!

It was hard to keep up with the suddenly changed topic of the conversation. He, who even figured out my name through the Internet, grinned and said, Hey, you. Seo Jin-Wook! He must have reached some kind of conclusion by running some calculations in his head, but I couldnt guess what it was, You said it yourself, didnt you? If we need something from each other, well be able to make a deal.

His comment made me frown my eyebrows. What more was he planning to talk about?

Listen, its not a losing proposition for either of us, he raised his finger and pointed at me, Looking at the fact that youve been dealing with the system to buy my location information, youre in a place to actively jump into and intervene in the tutorial quest, arent you? I dont know if the motive was the heroism to save the Earth by weeding off spies or a personal reason that Im not aware of. Anyway, an enthusiastic attitude is important. If you stand out this much, youll soon be chosen by the system. You still dont understand the meaning, do you?

Actually, I knew it very well. and even the selection had already been completed. There was only one person on the planet whod been selected, which was me.

Looking at your equipment, the gap is too far with other people on Earth. It will be hard to narrow down in the future, too. Also, since you received an SS-Rank, you must have over 30,000 Active Mana, right? Thats enough for you to be in the lead in the starting line.

He said with shining eyes, Well, heres my offer. I have a lot of useful information for you! You just asked me about the Sebrarian Empire, didnt you? Dont you want to hear more details about it?

He was quick-witted, thats for sure.

Other than that, my head was full of useful information for beings in the tutorial dimension! Doesnt it interest you?

It indeed was tempting. Instead of expressing my interest with a reaction or accepting it right away, I waited for an explanation that would follow.

Adam pulled his lips to smile, You may think highly of yourself since youre ahead of everyone else in the world called Earth, right? You may even wonder if you need help from an alien like me. However, it is better not to let your guard down too quickly. Your kind has no idea. The tutorial quest was literally just a tutorial!

In my previous life, I died before we got to finish the tutorial quest. After completing the tutorial in this life, I only have a general idea of what would happen afterward and what the situation of the Earth was going to be like.

At the end of the tutorial, all the handicaps imposed by the system that protects the Earth are gone. More gates will be opened, and dungeon boundaries will often collide. To make things even worse, in a situation with more contacts with other beings from other worlds, the entrance fee disappears!

This meant that even those who were working on the main quest were free to come and go.

This dimension belongs to the beginning of the tutorial. Even contact with other dimensions in the tutorial doesnt happen properly. But then, what if there was an advisor who can help you the best in this situation.

I knew what hes trying to say

Yes, Im going to be your information consultant!

If it was about a dimension in the same level of standard, being in the tutorial stage, I knew a lot about them due to my previous life. However, the information on the main quest was entirely different. Only that, listening to his story, two things were bothering me. The more suggestions he made, the more thorough I needed to look behind them.

Isnt it against the Unions treaty? An act of interfering in this dimension and spilling information at will.

They dont particularly forbid it. In fact, only a few voluntarily come here to this kind of novice dimension like me. Theres only so much you can get. The resources and labor that can be mined in this world are meaningless to us.

Even in the former European powers, where the difference in technology was apparent, underground resources, mined from other continents and slaves, were attractive resources. However, if the difference was too broad, it was natural that the desire to touch disappeared.

Then why do you volunteer to offer me such?

Thats because, of course, youre special!

Because Im growing fast?

Its not just fast; its overwhelming compared to other beings!

There seemed to be no doubt in his mind that I would not be an alien like him. It was a firm conviction from the way he was speaking.

Once again, you will definitely be chosen by the system in a few years.

He began explaining the screening quests. I knew everything about them, but I listened quietly. Special trials were given only to a few Awakened individuals selected by the system. If you overcame them, you would be given an intangible credit of experience points. You could exchange them for items that could directly affect the tutorial quest or change them to other tangible or intangible rewards.

The only way to get experience points at the tutorial stage is through screening quests!

He followed by saying that both the tutorials experience points and the main quests experience points had the same value. Also, after entering the main quest, you needed a lot of experience points for reasons.

Ill be an information consultant for you, so you can hand me some of the experience points youll get in return!

No, wait, that doesnt make sense, I pointed out a hidden flaw in his words, Do you think Im going to hand them over to you when youve stressed the importance of experience points?

Listen. I think youll monopolize most of the points you can get at the tutorial stage!

It was an almost accurate prediction, Im not going to take most of them, but Im going to take them all. Thats the plan for now.

He continued, And there must be a limit to the experience point that one can use in the tutorial stage. There will be a remainder even if you use the points to proceed with the tutorial and things you need personally. This is why the system created the concept of point transfer. If you hand over the remaining points to me and get equally valuable information, its a win-win deal for both of us.

While he spoke so enthusiastically, raising his voice, I was quickly searching my memory, comparing the total experience points earned by all hunters in my previous life with the points needed to be consumed to actually proceed with the tutorial. Also, I added up all of the point consumption options that were irrelevant to the tutorial process.

Certainly, that makes sense. Some screening quests couldnt be cleared in the past life, so considering all the rewards.

Points will remain. When I was seriously considering his proposal, Adams expression distorted at the same time.

Swwash.

Our gaze pointed to one place in unison, and our eyes were fixated. Someone was approaching over the horizon.

What was that? Were in the middle of an important conversation!

The man broke through the dust of the wilderness and led dozens of men behind him.

Seo Do-Hyung!

It was an A-Rank hunter who was wanted in South Korea. The Awakened, who must have proudly been among the runaways who were mostly composed of D and E-Rank.

Are you the guys? I dont know where you guys are from, but you messed with the wrong people today!

After gathering the Awakened in the trusteeship region and turning it into a criminal organization and starting with human trafficking by selling the refugees abroad, they later even distributed drugs into the Fortress City and got caught. And they were pieces of trash that would immediately be executed on the scene after being arrested by the U.N. military that cooperated with the International Hunter Union.

The man, who would die within a year even if left alone, giggled and said, Ill kill you both here!

The moment I heard it, my irritation exploded. Adam also clenched his teeth so tightly that his molars threatened to crumble, Of course, he doesnt know any of us.

I was wearing a slime mask, and Adam disguised his face as he could transform other parts of his body and couldnt be identified by him. He must have thought we werent much of a hunter because he didnt know our faces.

Hearing from my men, you two seem to be about B-Rank. Did you think that you can do as you wish if you came all the way here? Its a mistake. Do you know who I am? I am a man who is supposed to receive S-Rank.

At that moment, Adam and I yelled in unison.

Shut up!

Fuck off!

When my sword energy exploded, Adams right hand turned into a long whip and rushed towards him.

Shhhhhh!

Boo-boo-boom!

Ahhhhhhhh!

What, what, what!

After a while, when the dust had settled, at the place where Seo Do-hyung stood, the remains of the man who had turned into a lump of blood and flesh remained.

Ehh. Eh. Aaaaaaaargh! Only then did the remaining men start to run away in confusion.

Now, then, Adam, who recovered his arm that had turned into a red whip, spoke to me with a peaceful expression and a tone that seemed like nothing ever happened.

Thats all I have to offer. What do you think?
