The thunder spear fell down like a comet.

Piercing through the back of the mutant Ant-horn, the spear dug into the ground.

The stench of flesh burning wafted.

“Huh? What?”

‘One blow?’

‘It really died in one blow?’

Even if it was a sudden ambush, Ohjin, who hadn’t imagined that the ‘Mutant’ Ant-horn would die immediately, was very shocked.

“Grreeen!!”

“Grhaag!”

After the mutant had died, the surrounding Ant-horns fell into confusion and spun round and round on the spot until they turned their bodies to flee.

“Oh, hey! Wait!!”

Ohjin, who hadn’t thought that the Ant-horn herd would dissolve this easily, shouted out in a rush without having the time to chase after the fleeing Ant-horns.

“If you’re going to run, spit out your starstones first, you fucks!!!”

One starstone out of an Ant-horn was approximately $20.

It was precious money that could be used to buy as many as 3 Whopper sets.

“Fuck!”

Grab!— 

He tried to pluck the spear out of the ground to give chase, but it wasn’t easy to pull out, as the spear was stuck so deep into the ground.

Eventually.

“Hah…”

Ohjin let out a deep sigh and gave up on the chase.

‘It’s unfortunate, but whatever, I’ve got the mutant anyway.’

As mutants weren’t a common appearance, the starstone of a mutant was worth a minimum of $1000.

“Hehehe.”

Just thinking about it made his laughter come out.

As he turned his body to harvest the starstone,

Zap!!— 

“Argh!”

An electrifying feeling could be felt from his left chest.

After hurriedly lowering his head, he could see the stigma of Lyra scattering out powerful lights.

‘Huh? Is this possibly…’

Gleaaam!— 

Next to the stigma that was scattering out lights, one flick was drawn.

-Ring!

[‘Stigma of Lyra’ has been promoted to 2-Star!]

A blue message box appeared in front of his eyes together with the sound of clear bells.

“Hah.”

A short chuckle of absurdity flowed out of Ohjin’s mouth.

To think that he would reach 2-Star in not a week, but a single day.

‘Does this make sense?’

He predicted that he would promote quickly, as his stigma was overwhelming with mana, but he didn’t imagine that he would be able to reach 2-Star in a single day.

“There’s no way I’ll reach 3-Star by the end of the week, right?”

If that were the case, there would be no need to deceive or rack up his brain anymore.

Because reaching 3-Star within a week was something that was seriously impossible without being an actual Regressor.

In reality, reaching 2-Star in and of itself was an unbelievable speed.

‘Since achieving 2-Star is something that usually takes six months.’

Even though the majority of the reasons it took so long was because they had insufficient mana, it was still an astonishing speed, even taking that into account.

“2-Star, huh.”

He lightly swung his spear.

Fwoosh! Fwish!!— 

Although he was only slightly swinging his spear around, the sound of air tearing apart echoed.

He could feel that his body was unquestionably one step more powerful and agile compared to when he was a 1-Star.

‘Good.’

‘The results are more than enough for today.’

“I should hurry up my harvest and return back.”

He headed towards the corpse of the mutant while humming, thinking if he should order a Guinness Whopper instead of a regular Whopper later that day.

Rustle— 

The bushes nearby shook.

‘Huh? There’s no way those bastards that fled are insane enough to come back with their own feet.’

Grasping his spear, he narrowed his eyes.

“Oh, woah.
Isn’t that shell black?”

Two intimidating-looking men walked out of the bushes.

He could see the swollen muscles gaping through the gaps of their worn-out armor.

“Wow, even if it’s an Ant-horn, to be able to hunt a mutant by yourself.
You’re not the average Awakener, are you?”

“We’re 3-Star apostles of the Hunting Dogs, nice to meet you~”

The two of them approached Ohjin with friendly laughter, opposite of what their appearances portrayed.

Ohjin’s eyes narrowed.

‘These fuckers.’

It was clear that they weren’t approaching him with good intentions.

Honestly, you could call it prejudice, but if you weren’t a robber and possessed a face that looked like it had been ground on asphalt like them, that was a crime in its own way. 

‘There’s no way 3-Star Awakeners would come to this low-ranked dungeon… unless they came here looking for the mutant.’

If that was the case, there was no way they would sit still and let Ohjin, who was harvesting the mutant’s corpse, go.

Awakeners turning into robbers with a simple flip of a hand was quite common.

“Hmm…”

One of the men that had approached bent his torso down to take a sniff.

His appearance looked like that of a hunting dog chasing down its prey.

“Phew, he must have used enormous amounts of mana to hunt this mutant.”

“Hehe.
Shouldn’t he be quite exhausted?”

“Right? It’s not like a 4 or 5-Star Awakener would come here.”

The two of them murmured to each other in a low voice.

‘I know what you’re talking about, even without hearing it, you dumbasses.’

‘Tch.’

“Now that I think about it, it’s a bit strange; you know we swept through an Ant-horn herd from all the way ov~er there? Are you sure you didn’t pick off the one that ran away?”

“Aha, is that what happened? This… this can’t be left alone, can it?”

The both of them smirked while taking out their swords.

‘As expected.’

They were robbing fucks.

‘…This can’t be helped.’

Ohjin let out a sigh and quickly got on his knees.

“I-I apologize! I didn’t even know that happened!!”

“Huh?”

“What?”

Looking at the appearance of Ohjin, who had knelt down without a second of hesitation, left the two men surprised.

Whatever the case, Ohjin rubbed both of his hands together while prostrating on the ground.

“I-I’ll hand it over!!!”

“Kyahahaha!! Well, aren’t you a youth that’s quick to understand!”

One of the men exploded out in laughter and started moving his feet.

Just when he started to approach the collapsed corpse of the mutant behind Ohjin— 

“Ah, I’m not saying that I’ll hand that over.”

He grasped his spear and violently stabbed the back of the man.

Destroying his armor, the sharp spear pierced his body.

“Khyuk! Kyuk!!”

“I’m saying that I’ll hand you over next to your dead mother’s side.”

“Fuck!”

The other man charged while hastily swinging his sword.

He spun the spear that had pierced the man and blocked the sword.

The man who had become a human kebab shield let out a scream.

“Uh, Uuhhh?”

Slice!— 

Was it because he couldn’t stop the inertia from the swing? He ended up slicing the head of his partner into two.

“W-What are you doing!!!”

Ohjin, who watched the unbelievable scene with his wide-open eyes, let out a scream!

“You killed your partner!!”

“H-Holy shit!!”

“What would your dead mother think if she saw your appearance right now!!!!”

“Shut the fuck up!! My mom’s living completely fine; stop talking bullshit!!”

“Don’t lie!!!”

He roared out fiercely!

“I saw your mother pass away with my very own eyes; why do you keep insisting on lying!!!”

“No, what the fuck are you talking about!! She’s alive!!!”

“Take in the reality!!”

“Take what in, you crazy son of a bitch!!”

“Your mother has passed away!! She’s no longer in this world!!!”

 

‘He ain’t lying!!!’

Burger King X Guinness (Alcohol Brand) Whoppers are a thing in South Korea.
Black Whoppers that taste good.
