Chapter 26 – Ticket (1)

Hansoo chuckled at those words as he shook his head.

Gyucheol couldn’t hold it in as he raged.

Gyucheol’s face was on fire as he spat out the words.

But he held it in.

Who would protect his family if he lets Hansoo go because of his ego and then die afterwards.

They will probably die as soon as he dies.

‘It’s better to get cursed at’

Since it can only take a long time for him to fight the snake.

And if that happened they had to fight more anxiously.

‘You..as long as you come with us and fight then won’t be any problem’

This wasn’t a game, this wasn’t the time to worry about killing a strong monster for items or runes but why was he going crazy just because he couldn’t fight that powerful looking snake.

‘d.a.m.n. It’s not because he’s young. He’s just crazy’.

There were times like this where they opinions crossed.

If a man wasn’t selfish during times of danger then when would he be selfish.

Since their goals were different there was no other way.

Hansoo shook his head as he walked towards the snake.

Hansoo shrugged his shoulders at Gyucheol’s words as he spoke.

“…”

At that moment everybody realized that even though Hansoo had been fighting in the front, he had never traded anything with them.

Gyucheol, who couldn’t hold it anymore, cursed out loud while his wife and daughter looked at Gyucheol with a pitiful expression and him took him away after looking at Hansoo with a resentful face.

While they were leaving, somebody was watching Hansoo with a regrettable face.

The one who actually stimulated Gyucheol was Hanchul.

It did indeed seem like something amazing will come out if that snake was killed.

They had no thoughts of fighting with that anaconda-like 15m long snake.

But they had eyes too.

That was not something where they can gain anything out of while Hansoo was fighting it alone.

Since it will be bad if they received collateral damage whilst watching Hansoo fight.

‘Well. There’s nothing that can be done’

The eight others quickly left Hansoo and took off as Hans...o...b..t onto a cloud snack while chucking at this view.

Then he charged at the Rune Eater Snake.

Kudududk

Hansoo took out the cloud snack he was biting on and then grasped the rune eater’s snake with both hands.

‘Now there’s only five cloud snacks left’

But it was much weaker than the Carnivorous Beast.

He had used colorless energy and used the cloud snack because of limited time but only one was needed

And soon the egg cracked open as a small snake that couldn’t be imagined to be a baby of that giant snake came out and crawled above Hansoo’s wrist.

‘Good’

There were quite a bit of Strength, Stamina, Agility and Perception runes gathered on his wrist.

Hansoo started to feed the baby rune eater snake with all the runes he had gathered up.

The four types of runes on his wrist quickly disappeared as a different type of rune replaced their spots.

His Mana wasn’t really lacking.

Since soon things with abilities will pop out one by one.

[Kang Hansoo]

Strength(Colorless): 0.02%

Agility: 84.0

Mana: 58.4

Physical resistance: 25

Magic resistance: 25.3

‘Finally I’ve gained the eight great stats’

From now he had to keep raising these stats in balance.

The rune eater snake which seemed to be content from eating its fill cried out in content as it fell asleep on his wrist

He wouldn’t bat an eye during normal battles.

Hansoo, who had been looking at it cutely, started to walk fast as he saw the destruction line closing in.

“Dad. What do we do…”

While Gyucheol and his Family were left behind on a fork on a road and were struggling, somebody started to appear afar.

‘I knew this would happen’

Gyucheol, who had been looking at Hansoo, spoke out.

It didn’t seem like his strength, agility or stamina changed much from before.

And the snake did indeed look stronger than Hansoo so the time that he took was too fast for killing it.

“I killed it”

If he wasn’t going to gain anything then why did he fight?

Only injuries all over the body.

Since he guessed that he would at least run before he died.

Hansoo asked the three as he asked.

The others excluding Gyucheol and the two could not be seen.

“…they went that way.”

He thought of Hancheol’s words before he departed.

‘That b.i.t.c.h… both this guy and him’

Either to fight in the front.

But he had no confidence to fight in the front.

While the others were constantly fighting, he had been left behind without being able to eat any runes.

And the beasts in front of them would be even stronger.

So he decided to wait for just 5 minutes.

Just in case Hansoo would run away from the fight.

‘It’s a relief’

While Gyucheol was thinking about this and that, Hansoo had chosen a different direction than the others.

It was better to go somewhere where there was still a lot of things to hunt.

Gyucheol only looked at Hansoo pa.s.s by him but did not move.

“Aren’t you moving?”

“Didn’t you say you were never part of us already. Go ahead first”

“Huh”

These words were correct.

It didn’t really matter if there was somebody to fight with or not.

And Gyucheol and his family slowly followed Hansoo whilst leaving a gap.

He was not at the level of fighting in the front anymore.

‘Surely such an environment like this wouldn’t continue’

Gyucheol started to gaze at Hansoo’s back with a feeling of being on a tightrope.

And hoping that he would clear the road well in the front.

Udududk

Hansoo made a dull expression as he killed the last Kerudal.

It was hard because he had to fight alone.

‘But it’s still very good’

Agility: 84.0

Mana: 58.4

Physical resistance: 32

Magic resistance: 32.7

He had been monopolizing the runes because he was fighting alone.

And Gyucheol was looking at Hansoo with a fed up expression from the back.

It didn’t seem like his movements were getting faster or his strength was increasing.

And because of that he was fighting faster and more aggressively.

And because of this his speed was slower than when he fought together with the other group but he had long recovered the speed back.

‘This kinda bugs me…’

He was traveling safely and comfortably.

And Gyucheol was sufficient enough for these.

The perfect situation in his head was that Hansoo was so busy fighting in the front and becoming a mess that he couldn’t spare any effort to care about Gyucheol himself.

‘Do I have to run away in the next fork on the road…’

But the thing that had appeared in front of Gyucheol wasn’t a fork on the road.

A giant tunnel located near the bottom of the mountain.

“Are you not on good terms? You traveled whilst leaving some distance between you two. Well whatever, congratulations on reaching the goal.”

And then the fairy pointed towards the inner parts of the tunnel.

There was a dormant volcano’s crater that could be seen along with few tens of people who had already reached this place next to many weird-looking boats.

“Uwahaha! Arrived! We’ve Arrived!”

As if Hansoo and Gyucheol were the last ones, as soon as they entered the tunnel closed with a thunk sound and the fairy which was at the entrance flew in.

“…”

“Since there’s 75 people, 75 tickets should be prepared right?”

While the people were mumbling about the ticket, the fairy continued to talk.

“…?”

“Basically the boats you guys will get on is for three people”

“And of course three tickets must be gathered in order for it to work. Isn’t it so peaceful? Since its three tickets per three people, there’s no need to fight”

Everyone sighed in relief at these words.

But Hansoo shook his head.

And as he expected, the fairy continued to talk.

‘G.o.ddamit, of course it won’t just let us go that easily…’

“Firstly, if you hand in three tickets then you can go to any island you want. By the way, if you think that all the islands above are the same then that’s a huge misconception. Check the islands map in your pockets.”

“If you hand in three tickets with two people then you can go together but you cannot decide where it goes. The boat will move randomly”

If they wanted to act together then they had to gather an extra ticket.

“Lastly if you hand in three tickets as three people then you will get off separately. You can go up but you cannot be together. A situation like a family would be very very sad right? I hope if you are in a family of three that you can gather nine tickets to go to the island you want.”

“This b.i.t.c.h…”

Nine tickets for three people?

It was hard to even protect one at this moment.

And the fairy spoke in amus.e.m.e.nts without caring for such matters.

The fairy disappeared after those words.

And everybody’s faces started to stiffen.

It was better to go together and even better if you could go where you wanted.

If there were 6 in a party then 18 was optimal, 9 was ok and six was a worst case scenario.

And Hancheol and the others who had been separated earlier looked at Gyucheol’s family with a smile.

A way to gain three free tickets.

Gyucheol cursed out.

If they wanted to live then the three of them had to get on the boat at this instant.

Which meant his wife and daughter will die or face an even worse situation.

The fact that they had come this far proved that they were strong.

So there was n.o.body who could get their tickets stolen by him.

And then Hansoo came into Gyucheol’s eyes.

“Hmm?”

“If we have your ticket then my wife and I can go together! And then please take my daughter. If you do so then our whole family can live!”

Since then he could take his wife with him and protect her a bit more.

If there are four people with six tickets then they can live a bit longer.

‘Wow…he’s not a joke’

Hansoo swirled his tongue at Gyucheol’s words.

‘He probably isn’t a fool that would grant that right?’

Since if he did grant that then those tickets would be gone.

Gyucheol, who saw Hanchul and the others charge at them,

And Hansoo’s eyes calmed down in a cold manner as he looked at Gyucheol.
