Civil Servant Hunter’s S-class Resignation Log

Chapter 112:

We kindly ask for your understanding regarding the inconsistency of character pronouns, particularly for the Entities (ex. The Greedy Predator). In Korean, pronouns are rarely used, making it challenging to ascertain a character's gender or identity until later narratives unfold. Given this is a guest-funded site, the time to backtrack is better used to keep other works' going. On a more important note, refrain from sharing this work on social media to ensure our survivability. Thank you for your cooperation!

“Should we survey the surroundings before moving forward?”

“No, we shouldn’t. We might get separated. Have you forgotten the account of the Dragon of Revelation? It pursued the pregnant woman with the intent to devour her child. We don’t know what wicked trick it might employ.”

According to the Book of Revelation, the red dragon is described as a wicked Satan who leads people astray. Joining forces may not guarantee victory, and it would be troublesome if they ventured alone and our numbers dwindled.

“But we can’t wait indefinitely, can we?”

“Perhaps it won’t be so challenging.”

“What do you mean?”

Ali smirked at Oliver, or rather at the Entity he was desperately trying to reconnect with.

“What if Michael, whom it clearly killed, suddenly appeared? No matter how formidable that bastard is, it would be like, ‘What the hell?’ and show up before us in a state of anxiety.”

There were enough possibilities.

“So let’s gather our strength in the meantime. The issue is that three out of the four DPS consume an alarming amount of mana.”

There were still numerous snakes in the vicinity. If Kang Sejun cast Meteor, he could swiftly eliminate them all, but depleting his mana with such a large-scale attack wouldn’t be a wise choice when the boss monster hadn’t even appeared.

Furthermore, they needed time to assess the situation.

Everyone gazed at the horizon with solemn expressions. In that place where thousands of corpses were piled up, the snakes continued to writhe in a disconcerting manner.

***

“In this place, the sun never sets.”

Several hours had passed since they entered the 8th floor of the Labyrinth. The sky, which initially seemed like sunset was approaching, remained red without any change. Thus, there was one thing they could be certain of.

There was no sun in this place. No sun, no moon, and no stars.

“In the Book of Revelation, it is written that the red dragon swept its tail and caused a third of the stars in the sky to fall. If this is truly a world where the angels were defeated, it’s natural for the sky to be empty.”

Oliver’s explanation was met with nods from everyone. It was fortunate to have someone knowledgeable about the Book of Revelation among them.

Due to their cautious movements while dealing with the snakes, the raid team had positioned themselves quite far from the gate. If the snakes had been stronger and not just ordinary ones, they would have been too occupied with fighting them to spare a moment to scout their surroundings.

Of course, the damage dealers, who had been engaged in a prolonged battle with a large number of enemies, had their health and mana restored with Monique’s assistance.

Although they had brought potions with them, since the item shop didn’t open within the dungeon, they couldn’t afford to waste them recklessly.

“Are all the connections with the Entities still intact?”

After two hours had passed, without anyone missing, all the connections had been reestablished. Despite Michael’s presence being detectable, there was still no sign of the Dragon of Revelation.

“The Dragon of Revelation is undoubtedly here. Michael has confirmed that he can sense its energy.”

“Then let’s rest here for now and resume our journey in seven hours.”

Everyone complied with Ali’s command and set up a camp. The three DPS who had exerted themselves the most were given time to rest.

“A Gatling gun, and it’s the latest model.” After showing great interest in Seong Jarim, Julian’s attention now turned to Seora’s Hit, which had been transformed into a small Colt.

“It can morph into any firearm. Interested?”

“Very much so. Will you give it to me?”

“Be reasonable, please.”

“But I’m adorable, aren’t I?” Julian blinked his big golden eyes. Even in a world on the brink of destruction, his lovely face radiated charm. Ha, he’s truly beautiful, though.

“No. I have a preference for sexy men.”

Julian’s mouth hung open in response to Seora’s straightforward reply. His astonished expression took Seora aback. Did he not realize his lovely and cute appearance lacked allure and charisma? Moreover, even purely based on looks, the beauty in her dreams surpassed anything in reality.

‘Come to think of it, he hasn’t appeared in my dreams lately. I was planning to leap into his arms, claiming it’s fate when we meet for the third time.’

“If you want to gain something from me, you’ll have to become sexier.” At the very least, he should strive to embody the beauty in her dreams, capable of captivating hearts with just a playful smile.

“Pfft.” Kang Sejun, who was resting nearby, burst into laughter. Julian, who had never heard such words in his presence before, couldn’t regain his composure.

“How would you know if I’m sexy or not?”

“You can tell just by looking. The kind of sexiness that tickles a woman’s heart, like this, like this, like this, it’s evident at first glance. I’m a woman, you know.” Seora wagged her finger back and forth, while Kang Sejun continued laughing openly. What does he find so amusing?

“Hey, Kang Sejun. You’re not particularly sexy either, you know? It’s not the time to laugh.”

“…”

The laughter disappeared instantly. What’s this? Did he really believe he was that sexy? His self-confidence was too high. Sure, he was good-looking, but appearances didn’t solely determine sexiness.

“Don’t just focus on improving your fighting skills. Work on your sex appeal as well.”

Seora clicked her tongue, feeling a genuine sense of regret for turning two world-class Hunters into fools. It was a remark born out of true disappointment. But Julian snapped back angrily, “Well then, what kind of man is considered sexy!?”

“If we look around, Oliver Ross is sexier than both of you.”

Kang Sejun and Julian turned their gaze toward Oliver, who was currently setting up a tent.

With his red hair, green eyes, a model-like slender physique, full lips, slightly slanted eyes, thick eyebrows, and fair, well-defined cheekbones that seemed to glisten with sweat. However, both of them tilted their heads, unable to find anything particularly exceptional.

【Administrator: ٩(๑ `н´๑)۶】

Even the administrator went wild, asking what was sexy about that guy. Oh, just go away. If you want to hear that you’re sexy too, then show yourself.

【Administrator: (._. )… … .】

If you’re not going to show yourself, then stop talking.

‘Ha. But still, when it comes to the sexiest man, the beauty in my dreams takes the cake.’

Platinum hair, green eyes, a gaze filled with countless stories, and even a hint of bare skin under a white shirt. Just the thought made Seora feel joyous, and her smile brightened.

“What’s this? Is Oliver really that sexy? I’m not so sure about that.”

Seora quickly regained her composure, not wanting any unnecessary misunderstandings.

“I was thinking of someone other than Oliver. Ah, I keep missing him. Sigh. Anyway, if you want to receive this from me, you’ll have to reach that level.”

Of course, she had no intention of giving away the precious gift from the administrator to just anyone. The gloves, the Regeneration Jacket, and Hit were symbols of their connection. Even if Yun Jaeheon or Song Hanna were to ask for them, she wouldn’t have the slightest intention of parting with them.

“Come inside and rest. I’ll have the rear guard handle the watch.”

Just as Ali’s voice came through, Seora casually headed in that direction. From behind, Julian’s grumbling could be heard.josei

“What were you guys talking about so cheerfully?”

So Seora cheerfully responded to Ali’s question, “Oh, Julian was saying that he has absolutely no sex appeal.”

“Hahahaha!”

Ali burst into laughter, and Julian cursed at her, calling her the devil or something. It was truly regrettable. He had just shown everyone what it meant to have a narrow mind.

***

Yun Jaeheon, pacing nervously in front of the gate with an anxious expression, received a phone call. It had been several days since the raid team entered the Labyrinth. Seeing Song Hanna’s name on the screen, he sighed deeply.

“Yes, Auntie.”

— You sound troubled.

“I didn’t realize how Seora and Auntie felt while I was inside. I’m reflecting on it now.”

— It’s good that you understand now. I have personally sent both of you away. How much does the guilt torment you?

There was a moment of silence. Yun Jaeheon let out a bitter chuckle. “How is Korea? Is everything alright? Are the people safe?”

— You truly are your mother’s son, aren’t you? There are some issues with the three L-class threats inside the country, but the S-class threats are handled well, so don’t worry. The problem lies elsewhere, actually.

Yun Jaeheon’s lips curled into a twisted expression. There were people his mother and he were concerned about. However, in Korea, not only those who deserved protection existed. There were those without a moral compass, willing to sacrifice others’ lives for their safety, and not worth protecting.

“It seems like those who found out that Seora is my sister are resorting to dirty tricks again.”

— It seems like they think now, with all the L-class threats gone, it’s the perfect opportunity.

“I want to grab them by the hair and make them pay for their audacity at my mother’s grave,” Yun Jaeheon uttered a venomous remark, his face adorned with a sinister smile. Passersby were startled and scattered in all directions. The mercenaries from Athena who accompanied him quickly distanced themselves from the enraged branch executive. “Now that the Cheorwon Dungeon is gone, Seora and Headbang are likely more popular than those bastards. Don’t those idiots realize that?”

— How would I know what idiots think? I’m not one of them.

“I misspoke. Anyway, we can’t just stand idly by. Let’s take action. Let’s ensure that when Seora successfully completes the raid, she receives an even greater applause.”

— What can I do to help?

“Let’s reveal that Headbang is my sister and the daughter of my mother, Hyeon Jaehui.”

It had been a carefully concealed secret for twelve years To protect Seora, who adamantly refused to step forward like him, and to prevent the F-class child from being devoured by vultures.

But now, she had become a formidable force, someone even he and Song Hanna couldn’t easily control. She sought revenge against those who had dared to push her mother into despair, and she decided to reveal herself to the world.

With his younger sister’s intentions transformed, it was time for Yun Jaeheon to take action. That’s what the past 12 years of his life had been leading up to.

“Let’s be the ones to unveil the truth before those wretches. Just ensure it doesn’t come across as pity. What Seora and I desire is not sympathy, but admiration.”
