#1

  They saw a monster on the second floor of the building.

  It had purple scaly skin and big sharp teeth.

  “Everyone, escape!”


  “This is a warning alert! A level 6 monster has been spotted!”


  “Attack! Attack!”


  Pong pong pong! Pong pong!

  They began to attack the monster.

  As soon as they heard the alert the soldiers got to work. It was time to start the raid.

  There were more soldiers coming through the gate to help them fight off the monster.

  Teuk teuk teuk!!

  “Aarrrggh!”


  Monster shrieks were coming from everywhere as Jaehwang shot his arrows. Crowds of people were still running away to safety.

  “E-escape……”


  One of the soldiers said stepping back away from the monster. Usually a hunter could easily handle a situation but this wasn’t an easy fight.

  “Grrghh……”


  The monster had a pleased look on its face as it looked around.

  It looked around as if it saw its lunch everywhere. Suddenly it reached towards the ground to pick up on of the people.

  “Ahhhh!”


  The person shouted. It planned to make him its first meal. The person’s mind went blank and couldn’t think of anything to do to defend himself. He was even too afraid to move.

  The moment the monster wrapped its hand around the person to pick it up, it was shot multiple times.

  Swoosh! Pong pong pong!!!

  Arrows flew out of nowhere and exploded as they hit into the monster. The monster roared in pain as it let go of the soldier he was about to pick up and eat.

  Kwanggg!

  The monster collapsed onto the ground.

  #2

  “Phew……”


  After the attack there was dust surrounding the area. The number of monsters were continuously decreasing-

  That’s the first time I’ve ever seen that person. What’s his skill?

  The spirit curiously asked-

  I’ll tell you about him later.

  Jaehwang replied as he continuously shot arrows-

  The progress to A rank seems to be increasing very slowly. How many monsters have we caught so far?-

  361…… We have to catch stronger monsters. The stronger the monster is the higher the rank progress increases-

  That is right. Looks like we have to start hunting stronger monsters.

  Jaehwang replied. There was a lot more work left for them to do.

  Suddenly he then heard a loud scream from the bottom of the building. So many eyes were on Jaehwang during all the chaos. It was up to him to make sure everyone remained unharmed-

  So this is what you were talking about-

  Yea.

  Jaehwang said in reply to the spirit-

  Fame, anticipation, interest, admiration…… time…… Jealousy……

  There was only one thing that he was worried about-

  We’re losing time.

  There was only one positive thing-

  Have any ancestral tablets shown up?-

  That would come in handy but……

  The ancestral tablets help his skills have a stronger effect. But, sounds like things weren’t working out as well as they should have been. He looked around at everyone focusing on him. Everyone was counting on him-

  This is quite burdensome.

  Jaehwang then remembered something that Gwanjae asked him.

  Then he remembered his answer to that question.

  “I will try to become stronger. I’ll become stronger so I’ll be confident in myself no matter what happens.”


  At that time he was confident in his answer.

  However, he realized how difficult it was to actually follow through with what he said.

  Many people were cheering for him from down below. His father always told him not to be afraid but things felt so different since he was on his own-

  From now on, we have to go down the path of great morale-

  Let’s not try to define it. We don’t want it to be tied down to one meaning. You have to see the people in higher places-

  You’re right. Thanks-

  Don’t be nervous. No matter what happens we can handle it. I’m always here to help-

  Okay.

  Jaehwang said in reply to the spirit’s motivating words-

  Shouldn’t they be on their way? I thought they said there was only five minutes.

  It felt as if it had been more than five minutes already. It had been 6 minutes. They went one minute over-

  We missed the time-

  What happened?-

  Not much.

  Jaehwang said to the spirit.

  People began to crowd around Jaehwang but he tried to signal to them to go onto the bus

  “Is this not so urgent?”


  He asked. Jane was standing blankly looking into the distance. She quickly came to her senses and led everyone onto the bus.

  “L-Let’s go.”


  She said with a shaky voice. Although she seemed really tough earlier, things were getting more dangerous-

  This should work.

  #2

  “Hey! I said to go that way!”


  “I know! Look! I don’t think the attack can be blocked!”


  “It’s coming!”


  Pong!

  Pong pong pong!!

  A bright blue light came shooting out of nowhere.

  “You’re right! We can’t block it! It’s too powerful!”


  It shot through the sky light a thunderbolt. After that even more shots came flying through.

  “There’s more!”


  “Darn it! Work harder everyone!”


  He shouted. One of the soldiers got a big shield to hide behind.

  “This is really difficult.”


  Things weren’t looking too promising at the moment.

  Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

  The attacks didn’t seem to be doing much harm to the 9th tier monster. Dozens of arrows were being shot at it at once but the monster wasn’t backing down any time soon.

  “We can’t do it! We have to retreat!”


  “Commander David! People are getting bitten!”


  “Alright!”


  “Be careful!”


  Grraghh!

  The monster ate one of their soldiers who were lying on the ground injured.

  “We have to concentrate.”


  ‘We’re going to have to do more than this……’


  He said thinking of a way for them to get out of that place.

  Pong pong!

  He felt a special artifact break.

  “Arghh!”


  Pong!

  He used his shield to protect him. There was a seventh tier monster flying as it attacked him but his shield was able to block it.

  “Jeez.”


  The monsters attack were very powerful. He couldn’t even think straight as he was blocking them off.

  Pong pong! Pong!

  Deukk deukk!

  Suddenly there was a gigantic explosion that almost injured a few of their soldiers.

  “Darn it! I told them to be careful!”


  He said from behind his shield. Gunshots from the machine gun could also be heard shooting the monsters.

  They then heard a loud dangerous roar from a monster.

  It was a monster flying through the air.

  Swooshhh!

  A white light then appeared out of nowhere covering the entire area for a few seconds before slowly disappearing. However, the light left more than 50 meters of land covered in flames.

  A Level 9 Monster 3, The end.
