The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 4: Demon Hunter (1)

Episode 4. Demon Hunter (1)

I was skeptical.

Is this how demons appear in real life?

Why, its been 10 years and no progress?

Because the current development was similar to the quest of the demon hunter.

But the moment the message came to me, I was convinced.

A demon had taken over Nam Chul-mins body.

Suddenly, information from the community popped into my head.

-This is actually a real demon problem

-Hes already high level, but his condition is even worse.

-The mage and priest classes can get away with it because they have more mental strength, but warriors like us are punching bags without buffs and potions.

Certainly, real-world demons were tricky monsters.

A decade ago.

Not exactly the same demons Id encountered on quests.

But I knew.

I knew I could not make such personal judgments in the presence of a demon.

The pride of Romeo is, paradoxically, most exalted in the presence of the demon.

Yes, what kind of demon is possessing Nam Chul-min.

How many levels it has.

We dont even know what kind of condition it causes.

Another angle.

But my vision was clearer than ever.

There was no hesitation in my stride.

In this moment of demonic encounter, I spoke in a cold voice.

You are a demon after all.

My declaration sent shockwaves through the room.

Choi Jung-hoon stuttered.

He looked back and forth between me and Nam Chul-min.

What do you mean by that, ah, demon?

Demons!! I had a bad feeling about that.

Wait, if its a demon, then its something we cant deal with?!

Nam Chul-min in shock.

However, the demon laughed.

Hahahaha, I know what youre thinking, you idiots!

The devil seemed to be enjoying the situation.

It should be.

Humans negative emotions give it power.

You humans are soooo fake and pretentious.

But I didnt have the heart to listen to the rant.

Youre not classy.

In my hand was a silver dagger. 𝑓𝓇𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝑏𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

I dont know if there is such a thing as class when it comes to a race as inferior as demons.

Of course, demons do have a clear demerit.

Its something Ive heard over and over again as a former questmaster in Akshan.

Low, mid, high.

Above them are the Demons of Eternity, and even further up the ladder are the Demon Lords, the self-proclaimed kings of the demons.

But as it is said.

No demonic temptation, deception, or trial can make even a scratch on the high pride of Grandfell.

Grandfell.

In other words, to me, they were all the same demon.

Therefore, there was no hesitation in my actions.

[Skill, Natural Enmity is triggered].

Enmity: Increases your combat power by leaps and bounds when battling demons.

Now that Enemy Nemesis has been activated.

My physical abilities have increased by leaps and bounds.

Swoosh!

Concise and swift.

I stabbed the dagger towards the nape of Nam Cheolmins neck.

Ting!

Indeed, plate armor.

I didnt expect it to defend the nape of my neck.

A panicked voice could be heard.

Hahaha! Are you crazy? Arent you even worse than me? Youve just been acting like a nice guy and now youre wielding a sword? What the fuck are you?!

But I wouldnt allow it.

Dont even try to talk to me.

what, what?!

I dont talk to my prey.

Shhhhh!

It was impossible to pierce plate armor with a silver dagger.

Then I should aim for the gap.

In front of the demon, I was moving on instinct.

I could feel that my bodys abilities and my brains workings were definitely on a different level than when I was facing a gnoll.

Bam!

I stabbed a silver dagger into his inner elbow.

[Skill, Rite of Exorcism is activated].

I dont know how long the effect of the Rite of Exorcism will last, but it doesnt matter.

What the message meant was simple.

It meant Id scored a hit on the demon.

The demon stumbled back a few steps, startled.

Crazy!!! Its silver!!! What the fuck do you think youre doing?

Instead of answering, he swung his dagger again.

The seam in its side.

The seam in his knee.

And the tiny slit in the nape of his neck.

Woosh.

Black blood poured from those wounds.

The demon said.

You crazy asshole. Cant you see hes bleeding?! This is really going to kill him. If you kill me, hell die too! No, no matter what, Ill die with him. Do you think Ill die alone?!

I laughed inwardly with pleasure.

How is that line the same as it was ten years ago?

Yeah, Im not falling for it.

Demon Hunters attacks only deal damage to demons while the skill, [Rite of Exorcism], is active.

No matter how old it is, I havent forgotten that basic common sense.

I have.

But not to my face.

It never showed.

The prey merely needs to be hunted.

Boom!

*!

Brother, dont push yourself too hard. Avoid dangerous cracks as much as possible.

Got it, as*h*le.

Im not kidding. The atmosphere in the fortress has been horrible lately, so Im saying. Why dont you just join our guild? There are tons of things you can do as a player that dont involve traveling the rift. Why, be an analyst or something.

He just didnt want to be an as*h*le.

Were brothers, after all, but were not the same.

Youre going to have to work harder to keep up with him.

I heard Tae-min got another boss raid, tell him congratulations.

He just didnt want to be a bother to his older brother.

As Nam Chul-min watched himself move about, he thought to himself.

Where did it go wrong?

His memory was fuzzy from the moment he entered the rift.

However, he clearly remembered the message.

[Lesser demons, imps are watching you].

[Your mental strength is too low].

[Condition: Possession is occurring].

imp?

An imp, a level 200 demonic monster.

Nam Tae-min was well aware of the dangers of demons.

He had seen and heard things from his brother, Nam Tae-min.

He gritted his teeth.

Dont go in there! Its annihilation!

But no voice came out.

Yes, another party. With the help of another party!

The words came out unbidden.

But dont worry, this is a transfer station, so its pretty big. If we pick a good route, we should be able to hunt without overlapping with the other party.

He was literally leading them on.

Cheolmin, no, hyung!

The madness continued.

Eventually, Choi and his party were surrounded by a horde of gnolls.

Its because of me. Its because of me!!!

Move.

Please move.

I have to help.

But Nam Chul-min couldnt move a single step.

He could only stand and stare.

No, f*ck, whats wrong with you!!! Hey, Nam Chul-min!!!

It was all his fault.

It was his own lack of ability.

Feeling helpless, Nams heart began to crumble.

Taemin, I guess I should have done what you said.

And thats what the imp was hoping for.

Nam let go of the threads of consciousness he was barely holding on to.

All he could hear was a faint voice.

Hey, Nam Chul-min, did you really think you were something because I was following you around calling you brother, brother? Youre either my brother or youre a f*cking as*hole.

Yes, Choi was right about everything.

He was nothing more than that.

Hahaha. Hahahahahaha.

After that, all I could hear was laughter.

The laughter of an imp that seemed to be laughing at his weakness.

Then, after what seemed like an eternity, the laughter stopped.

You are a demon after all.

You recognized the demons existence? How?

The words brought Nam Chul-min back to his senses.

Then an unbelievable sight appeared in his vision.

Its overpowering the imp?

It was a ridiculous situation.

It wasnt just their high level that made them tricky.

Demons often trigger ailments.

[Fear], [Despair], [Exhaustion].

To counteract their vicious ailments, youll need high Mental stats.

Or, even worse, an overwhelming level disparity.

What is this guy, anyway?

I couldnt believe what I was seeing.

This wasnt a fight.

Yes, the man was right.

It was a one-sided hunt.

The imps howl rang in his ears.

He thought to himself.

If the imp dies, will I also die?

If so, I will die.

He made up his mind.

His party members were in danger because of him.

Even if the imp had taken their bodies, it would be no excuse.

He had heard that demons preyed on the weak.

Even that was his own fault.

Even if youre dead, you have to pay for your food, dont you?

Isnt that right, Jung-hoon? Tae-min?

Luckily for him, the man didnt seem to hesitate.

Unfortunately, theres no way I can repay you.

That was the moment Nam Cheol-min thought.

Pook!

The mans dagger plunged into the nape of his neck.

It felt like something was being ripped out of his body.

Thud!

Somehow, his eyes opened.

?

I could see the ceiling of the subway.

The crackling bulbs were glowing.

Bright enough to make me squint.

I heard a voice in the middle of it.

Didnt I tell you?

It was laid back,

a voice that could not have been more relaxed.

You have nothing to worry about because I am here. contemporary romance

*

[Defeated a low-level demon, an imp].

[You have leveled up].

[Leveled up].

[You have increased your level].

You have leveled up.

I counted the messages and realized there were 12 in total.

I had just killed an imp, and I had gained 12 levels.

What the hell. Is this a true story?

I thought back to my battle with the imp.

I tried to figure out the level of the imp that was literally pouring out experience points.

But no matter how much I thought about it, it didnt make sense.

Gnolls are harder to play against than imps.

Gnoll was only around level 30.

The implication is simple.

I told you that great expectations lead to great disappointment.

I mean, this already exceeded my expectations, right?

Apparently, the natural enmity between demon hunters and demons was much stronger than I expected.

Maybe its because Im a lesser demon.

The gap was too wide to overcome.

The message didnt stop there.

[Skill, Silver Mastery increases in proficiency].

Silver Mastery (24%): Grants additional damage and special effects to silver weapons.

Killing an imp with a silver dagger has given this skill a huge boost.

I went from 19% mastery to 24% mastery in no time.

Unfortunately, the imp didnt drop any items.

But I wasnt disappointed.

Maybe its because I gained a ton of experience instead.

Or maybe it was the setting of Grandffells, which doesnt take itself too seriously.

I couldnt tell.

Rather than that.

It was more important that I kept my word.

I told you, you have nothing to worry about because Im here.

I would have died of embarrassment if I failed to do so.

I learned from experience.

I knew from experience that I couldnt change my behavior, which is a black mark in the history of the Grandfell.

Even in a moment of crisis.

His unyielding head proved it.

Which means I have no choice but to adapt.

Luckily, my adaptability seemed to be pretty good.

Blah blah blah. Thank you. Really. This grace means that I must!

Bro, are you alright? Damn, I dont know what the hell happened.

Whoa. Im glad youre okay. Really.

Wow. Thats awesome!!!

The burdened stares that fall on me.

The admiring glances.

I took it all in stride.

As if the reaction was natural.

I just thought to myself.

I just thought, Thats cheap.

They say young people are spoiled these days,

they dont say that for nothing.

Comments :

GunpilGirlfriend Concept Girl Jeong Yeopyeong is here again, and now shes not even good enough to do a story?

Lets make the main work a little more sincere, Jung Yeon-ah, but isnt the story of catching an imp at a play party too unconventional?

Why not give it a name or just call it a party member?

Hey, its not really a masterpiece And I wanted to ask her name, too You should see her. She cant talk to us easily What should I say? She just had the Force! Do you feel like youre not on the same level as us?

-??? What the hell?

Level 368.

Player ranked 11th.

Nam Tae-min spat out a laugh as he read the post.

So Hyung. You want me to believe this, really?

In front of him was his real brother, Nam Chul-min.

Yeah. Its true.

Nams face was as serious as ever.

Im the one who said I was possessed by an imp.

What, what?
