The Player Who Returned From The Apocalypse

blue forest. The wind blew gently.

The pungent smell of blood wafted through the wind tickled his nostrils. If you look back, there are bloodstains along the path you have walked.

Nearby were the corpses of the monsters he had dealt with, and some had already been turned into manastones.

"Now I have to do something."

Sungjin murmured and put the newly acquired sword in his inventory. And she picked up the manastone that had fallen.

At first, she didn't even have time to pick up magic stones. But now there is plenty of room for that. There was also the effect of the title, but the level itself was low in the first place, so the level up was quick.

Thanks to this, I quickly became stronger and was able to catch monsters effortlessly without mobilizing the method I used in the first place.

Equipment was also replaced with items used in the past F-grade. Although there were many items in the inventory, it was because they needed an item to be used as a substitute unless there was one that still satisfies the conditions of use.

And.

[ Time remaining: 00:00:10 ]

The remaining quest time shown through the Hunter system.

Not much left now. It was clear that the number was gradually decreasing.

'How much compensation do you want to give?'

Even if the content of the quest is survival, the reward varies depending on the method. In that respect, she took the most difficult path herself.

She killed every monster she met. Although it is an F-grade gate, some E-grade monsters appeared, but they were all killed.

The reward was expected.

[ Quest Survival has been completed. ]

[ Review the quest process. ]

[ massacre … You have subjugated all the monsters in the gate. ]

[ You have cleared the F-class survival quest for the first time. A reward is added. ]

[ All stats are increased by 15. ]

[ You have acquired 45,000 Hunting Points. ]

[ E-grade shops are available. ]

[ You have acquired 150,000 experience points. ]

[ Level has risen by 15. ]

[ Skill Weapon Mastery (E) has been acquired. ]

Somehow, the monster didn't appear on the way, so I guess he killed them all.

got the maximum reward. The experience and hunting points are similar to the rewards of the monsters you have caught so far. Thanks to this, I opened an E-grade shop at once.

The level has already gone beyond the E-grade and has reached the level of D-grade.

Above all, all ability increases are good. Stats are distributed according to your fighting style whenever you level up. At this time, the level of increasing ability varies according to the level.

The stats that go up per level up in units of level 100 also go up, but now, since they weren't even level 100 yet, the stats that went up per level up were only 1 in one field.

But now, a whopping 15 of all stats were increased.

Since there are six fields of ability, it was the same effect as leveling up 90 times.

“…the reward is crazy.”

I've often done survival quests before, but this wasn't the case. It didn't come out specifically, but it was obvious that the first clear reward contributed.

Maybe because they didn't do this quest earlier, the hunters didn't grow up enough, and I even thought that the world might have come to an end.

The rewards were so attractive.

“I definitely took mastery skills there.”

mastery skill. It was the easiest skill to obtain while hunting.

Usually, if you use a sword, you get Sword Mastery, and if you use a spear, you get Spear Mastery. Above all, this skill was a basic constraint that could be said to be unconditionally attached to any high-grade weapon item.

In the case of Seongjin, since he used almost all the items at this gate, he was able to acquire the Weapon Mastery that integrated all kinds of weapon mastery.

'In the past, it was a lot of hard work, so I was nervous because I thought it wouldn't work.'

It was a bit of a gamble.

Even before Return, I had obtained Weapon Mastery. But I didn't get it right now.

At first, he acquired Sword Mastery by mainly using the sword, and afterward, he reduced his weakness and acquired other mastery skills by handling various weapons depending on the situation and monsters.

After such a steady experience, it was the Weapon Mastery that was integrated.

But this time, I wondered if the acquisition of the mastery skill would be delayed because I did not use one weapon consistently, but luckily I was able to obtain the weapon mastery at once.

" Status window."

Name: Kim Seong-jin

Title: Hero Level: 95

Strength: 65 (+13) Agility: 60 (+12)

Health: 72 (+14) Intelligence: 64

Wisdom: 70 Spirit: 170

Status: Fatigue

I opened the Status window to see how much her stats have risen and what her level is.

And we were able to confirm the results beyond our expectations.

The level was looking at the level 100 of the D grade beyond the 50 level, which is the standard of the E grade, and the ability was also beyond imagination.

As for her mental power, she had been recording high numbers from the beginning, so, except for this, she was comparable to any C-class hunter.

There, the effect of the ring of solidarity even raised her stats.

Of course, there were variables such as skills and abilities, but her development was no different.

“It’s changed a lot compared to before.”

She spent more than half a year getting out of her previous F grade.

Because she valued safety, even when she entered the gate, she joined a party with a high number of hers, and it was because of that, her experience point efficiency was not high.

This was the case with most F-class hunters.

He takes a long time safely and raises the level little by little.

The reality now is similar to a game, but once you die, it's over, so the government's policy was also like this.

However, it was not enough experience points to raise the level in a limited monster called the gate.

But that has changed.

Gatera found a way to level up her without using her resources or disasters.

And.

Thanks to that, she herself has shortened her time by more than half a year compared to before her return.

The future begins to change.

[ The field changes. ]

[ Please select a quest. ]

[ 1. Survival (requires 0 Manastones of the corresponding gate grade) ]

[ 2. Return (requires 0 Manastones of the corresponding gate grade) ]

[ 3. Escape (requires 100 Manastones of the corresponding gate grade) ]

After thinking for a while, the scenery around me changed.

The original dark space.

And the quest selection window that appears.

Survive, return, escape.

The same three quests.

But it was different from before.

The color of the letters for survival was changed to red, and the existing red letters for return and escape were changed to white letters.

"Now that the level has gone up, it doesn't matter."

Initially, this gate was an F-class gate.

It was not available from E-class hunters.

Now that I've leveled up a lot, I was hoping that if I go back in, I'll be able to get a stat reward after clearing it without difficulty.

Also, life isn't that easy.

"I can't help it. I'm sorry, but should I go back?"

[You have chosen to return the quest. ]

[ Confirm the completion of the survival quest, no manastone is required. ]

[ Do you want to go to the place just before entering the gate? ]

Manastone restrictions were also missing from the conditions of the return quest. After completing the survival quest, this condition disappeared.

'Well, if you don't do this, you might end up trapped here.'

Like herself, she upgraded her rank through survival quest experience, but there is a possibility that she could not get the Mana Stones depending on how she survived.

Seongjin opened her mouth with these thoughts.

"Go back."

[You have completed the return of the quest. ]

[ You have acquired the title Invaders. ]

The quest was completed even though she did nothing.

And her body began to become increasingly transparent, and her vision became hazy.

"Ugh."

Kim Seong-jin's father, Kim Jeong-ho, woke up with difficulty.

It's still 5 in the morning.

It was very early, but I couldn't go to work if I didn't prepare from now on. It was because the company was quite far from home, and the resident of the company was severe, so if you didn't prepare quickly, you would be harassed by your superiors.

With less tiredness, he forced himself to stand up and opened the door and went out.

bobble bobble. The savory smell of soybean paste tickled the tip of her nose.

"Oh, Dad. Are you awake?"

“…you woke up early.”

"Yes. I woke up very early today and was making breakfast. You always go out without breakfast."(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

Usually, Seong-jin did not see his father go out. How can I see you if you go out at such an early hour?

However, he knew when to leave.

My father always opened Seongjin's door before going to work and made sure he was sleeping well, and he went to work. And then he woke up briefly, so he remembered that time.

"Let's eat together,"

"Then shall we eat it after a long time?"

Usually, Kim Young-ho didn't have time to prepare a table, so she skipped breakfast and went out.

However, if the rice was prepared, it seemed like it would be time. No, even if he didn't have time, he wanted to eat the food his son had made. Somehow it seemed to be the case.

Kim Young-ho sat roughly in his seat, took a spoon, and ate a spoonful of soup that Seong-jin had made.

“…It’s refreshing.”

"The thing my father did is salty. If you think about your health in the future, you should eat fresh."

Hearing his son's beating, Kim Young-ho smiled brightly.

When you do hard work, your taste buds change. In order to forget the hardships, they crave stimulating food. That's why I feel that food that has not been seasoned for a while is so bland that it doesn't taste good.

"It's not bad though."

"right?"

Sungjin laughed and ate together. It had been a long time since her chest felt warm.

After such a happy hour, he got up and prepared to leave.

"Then I'm off to work."

"Yes. Be careful."

Seong-jin washed the dishes after seeing his father go out.

'Your father looks very tired.'

At times like this, he can't help but be tired from commuting to and from work. He tried to hide it, but he had already lived his whole life and raised a thing called nunji. Among them, he spent the most time with his father. He didn't know everything about him, but he did learn something by looking back.

It was the excessive work that could be called the father's recklessness, and the sacrifice of his body for this.

"I need to ease the burden."

That's the power I got for that. Now that you've gained some strength, it's time to use it.

"Gate navigation."

[ Navigate to the currently open gate. ]

A huge world map was drawn in front of me with a system message. Among them, there was a place marked with a red dot.

This point was the location of the gate he wanted. I checked the gates in Gyeonggi-do by operating it as if using a mobile phone map app.

And the nearest one was chosen.

[ You selected the 32nd Class F gate (individual). ]

“Now we have to make money.”

After washing the dishes, Sungjin wiped his hands and said.
