Solo Leveling

Chapter 12:

However, the attack came from behind.

Puchi!

The spear pierced his chest from behind.

"cough!"

Cheng Jin-Woo spat out a mouthful of blood instantly.

Unimaginable pain quickly spread throughout the body.

"Any higher and your heart would be pierced."

Xiaoxi's nagging, which he heard a few hours ago, flashed through his mind one by one like a revolving lantern.

"Ah, cough cough cough!"

The stone statue raised the spear, and Cheng Jin-Woo's body was lifted in the air together with the spear. Before he could struggle, he was thrown heavily onto the altar.

boom!

"Ahem!"

There was the sound of bones breaking in his ears.

His body curled up in excruciating pain.

"Uh uh uh…."

He trembled uncontrollably, and the stone statue slowly surrounded him.

Cheng Jin-Woo looked up at them, trembling all over his body.

'I...I don't want to die like this. '

When death really came at this moment, tears blurred his vision.

He recalled the faces of his family. He will think of those people who are worried about him, Xiaoxi, Uncle Zhiguo...

'I don't want to die...'

He didn't want to hastily end his short, twenty-four-year-old life.

A stone statue holding a sword walked over mercilessly, and then raised the sword high.

Even though he was terrified to death in his heart, he stared at the stone statue without looking away.

Finally, the stone statue swung down the sword.

Shhhhhh...

'If, if you give me another chance!'

Cheng Jin-Woo's eyes widened.

at this time.

Chi Chi Chi One!

As if pressing the pause button, the frighteningly fast sword suddenly stopped in mid-air.

No, it didn't stop at all.

Just a lot slower.

One millimeter per minute?

Although very slow, the sword is still moving.

"What the **** happened to this...?"

Cheng Jin-Woo was very flustered.

Sudden,

Ding Ling!

A mechanical female voice that he had never heard before sounded in his mind.

'Secret Mission: You already have the completion conditions for the mission - Courage of the Weak.'

Secret mission? Have the conditions to complete?

Cheng Jin-Woo really couldn't understand this sudden situation.

No, where does this sound come from?

But that voice ignored Cheng Jin-Woo's question and continued.

'You have qualified as a player. Do you accept?'

'Get? Accept?'

'What do you mean? What is the situation...?'

"Looks like you want to give me something..."

Life has not been very well-off since he was a child, so he has never refused any free things so far.

But these are all while he is still alive, what use are these free things to him after he is dead?

"..."

Cheng Jin-Woo was still hesitating, the voice sounded again, as if urging him to make a decision quickly.

'The time given to you is running out. '

'If you refuse, your heart will stop beating after 0.02 seconds. '

-'Do you accept?'

'Ah... If you accept it, I don't have to die...'

He didn't know if he was hallucinating, but he knew he was dying.

Because apart from that **** sword, there are countless weapons flying in his direction.

After these attacks, can he still have a whole body?

Since it was already like this, he might as well accept it.

'...Since it is given to me, accept it. '

He made a decision in his heart, but before he could say it, the woman's voice answered him immediately.

[Congratulations on becoming a player. 】

blink one

The dazzling light instantly enveloped Cheng Jin-Woo.

At the same time, Seong Jin-Woo also lost consciousness.

***

Cheng Jin-Woo opened his eyes.

White ceiling, pungent disinfectant, and hard bed boards.

Cheng Jin-Woo soon knew where he was.

'Hospital? '

Since he met the B-level healer Xiaoxi, he has been hospitalized a lot less, but for Cheng Jin-Woo, the hospital is still the place he is most familiar with, just like he is familiar with the local convenience store.

He went to the hospital so many times that it was rumored that a seat was specially reserved for him in the Hunter Hospital.

Cheng Jin-Woo sat up, put his hands on his chest, and felt the vibration transmitted to his palms. His heart was still beating normally.

"I... survived?"

As if it was more than that.

Unlike before, he felt very light in his body.

Whenever he woke up from the hospital bed, he would feel dizzy and exhausted.

But this time is different.

He felt as if he was sleeping at home until he woke up naturally, very relaxed and happy.

"In the end what happened…...?"

He'll never forget what happened before he lost consciousness.

The sword held by the stone statue was right on top of his head, slashing towards him.

He narrowly avoided the sword's attack, but was still surrounded by countless terrifying weapons.

Even a team composed entirely of A-level, no, S-level hunters would be difficult to deal with those guys.

'I made it out alive in that situation!?'

Is he dreaming?

He suddenly remembered that he had a way to confirm whether it was a dream or reality.

Cheng Jin-Woo lifted the quilt from him.

If this is reality, then he will be missing a leg now, if he is dreaming, then his leg will be...

"Are you awake?"

Chapter 8 Strange System

Suddenly a deep voice came from a corner of the ward, Cheng Xiaoyu was startled, and turned his head to check.

"I'm sorry if we've alarmed you."

"However, we cannot wait any longer."

Two men in black suits walked towards Cheng Jin-Woo's hospital bed.

"Cheng Jin-Woo asked suspiciously, "Who are you...?"

He had never met the two men.

A man with a cropped cut like a soldier handed him a business card.

"this is my name card."

Cheng Jin-Woo took the business card.

'Wu Zhenzhe, Chief of the Supervision Section of the Korean Hunter Association?'

The Supervision Section is the only department in the association that has many powerful hunters. The Supervision Section is a department that manages hunters across the country, so there must be many high-level hunters.

'Why did the Supervision Section find me?'

Wu Zhenzhe pulled a chair and sat down. Another person who seemed to be his subordinate stood behind him.

Two strong hunters crowded here, making the ward very cramped. What they said next surprised Cheng Jin-Woo.

"I've been in a coma for four days?!"

"Do you remember what happened before you passed out?"

"Yes, I remember."

"Can you tell us?"

"Before that... how about the other two? Uncle Zhiguo and Xiaoxi, are they alright?"

Facing Cheng Jin-Woo's eager gaze, Wu Zhenzhe nodded.

"Yes, both of them are fine. Although the injuries suffered are serious, they are not life-threatening."

Cheng Jin-Woo finally felt relieved and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Can you tell us what happened at that time now?" Wu Zhenzhe then asked.
