The Level has been raised.

“Are you crazy?”

Ye-Hyeon smiled while looking at the stacked message windows.

“Was it this easy to level up?” Ye-Hyeon was so frustrated that he couldn’t believe it.

The fact that he was raising the level repeatedly was also limited when he worked as a supporter and walked around the top gate.

No matter how hard Ye-Hyeon tried to hit the knife, the monster’s hard skin was not even scratched.

Eventually, they had no choice but to get expensive poison and spray it on the monster’s mouth, eyes, and wounds.

The poison, which was easy to say and effective for higher-level monsters, was deadly poisonous for Ye-Hyeon, whose life was at stake even if a drop was brushed against his skin.

It was, in short, crazy to approach and spray a monster who had fallen down with such a deadly poison. It’s dangerous when he didn’t know when it would move.

Ye-Hyeon had to hear all sorts of swear words. They were like a psychopath who would put a knife in his back while laughing.

After gaining the “slaughter” skill, Ye-Hyeon was able to buy some time in the name of checking if he could get useful materials.

Even after such a hard time, Ye-Hyeon’s level was only 61 when the level of the top rankers exceeded 200 and ran toward 250.

The amount of experience gained is still 25%, but when more than half of the C-class small gate was organized, he was already level 4.

Considering that the level rose well in the beginning, it was an unusual growth considering Ye-Hyeon’s level-up speed.

‘I should organize a regular party with targets at all costs.’ Ye-Hyeon thought.

Since Ye-Hyeon is a healer, it is possible to create a regular party, but the problem was that there was no advantage in creating a party between new hunters.

‘Will Yoon Seung-Jae accept Shin Do-Gyeom if I can coax him somehow?’ Ye-Hyeon thought.

A bug-type monster who hides in the sand made a surprise attack while Ye-Hyeon is thinking. It runs straight to Ye-Hyeon.

“Hey, aren’t you scared?”

“I’m not scared at all, so stop asking me. What’s the tanker doing in the back?”

Ye-Hyeon pushed Yoon Seung-Jae’s shoulder.

The dull black armor rattled, but it did not move away due to lack of strength.

Yoon Seung-Jae came to see Ye-Hyeon’s condition whenever he had time.

It was unusual for the tanker to come to the rear during an emergency.

Ye-Hyeon even got annoyed in the middle, but it was useless.

In Yoon Seung-Jae, Ye-Hyeon’s image seemed to have hardened into a vulnerable and fearful object of protection.

“I won’t fall down. Look, it’s a long way.”

Ye-Hyeon jumped lightly a couple of times and opened his arms.

Unlike what Ye-Hyeon was worried about before entering the dungeon, he was okay even after meeting the monster.

Of course, they didn’t face each other so close like last time, but it was okay to sneak forward until they were stopped by a veteran hunter.

Ye-Hyeon’s heart didn’t beat or he wasn’t nervous.

Even if Ye-Hyeon wore dark goggles, the sun in the desert was still hot and bothered him alot.

“But…” Yoon Seung-Jae tried to protest.

“The healer is right. You stay in the front. We’ll protect him.”

“But you don’t mind, do you, Healer?”

“It’s not as much as Tanker, but we’re still capable.”

Other new hunters, who were looking for a chance to talk to Ye-Hyeon, rushed into the conversation.

The news of the precious healer’s appearance spread in the camp faster than Ye-Hyeon expected.

Otherwise, rumors spread that Ye-Hyeon fainted out of fear in the first gate sweep due to an accident that did not happen while drawing attention.

Not only Yoon Seung-Jae but also other new hunters treated Ye-Hyeon as a weakling.

It was unfair for Ye-Hyeon.

“Everyone, go away. I promised to protect Ye-Hyeon” Yoon Seung-Jae said.

Yoon Seung-Jae blocked Ye-Hyeon by raising his head tightly and stretching his head to see if he covered his face from other new hunters.

It was an attitude that could have seemed rude, but the two new hunters who talked to Ye-Hyeon seemed to love Yoon Seung-Jae.

They seemed to think of Yoon Seung-Jae as a spoiled youngest brother because he was a kid who was not even 20 years old.

It was clear that the cheeks that were still full of baby fat would have played a part.

“Alright alright, then I’ll protect Healer only while you drag monsters into aggression. Is that okay?…just take a look.”

Yoon Seung-Jae, with a distasteful expression on his face, reluctantly headed to the front.

“Healer, please come inside.”

Yoon Seung-Jae walked around and guided Ye-Hyeon to the safe side.

“Are you kidding me right now?”

” “You’re kidding me?”

” What do you say? It’s a treat.”

A smile that could not be hidden came out from Hunter’s lips as he waved his hands.

“Ha!” Ye-Hyeon shook his head

Ye-Hyeon was ashamed to be overprotected by an eight-year-old child, but he was ashamed to come forward and make a fuss.

“Is this a shameful thing I’ve only heard about?”

Ye-Hyeon was worried that he would be treated uselessly because no matter how great of a healer he was, it was not helpful for the battle and his body was weak, but fortunately, there seemed to be no bad prejudice.

Regardless of whether he wanted to look good to Ye-Hyeon or not, even a Hunter, who had been frowning a lot, smiled when their eyes met Ye-Hyeon.

Ye-Hyeon’s cheekbones were tingling from time to time because he was smiling all the time.

Watching Yoon Seung-Jae, who blocked Worm Snakes’ rush with a shield, he pressed the tip of his stiff mouth with his fingertips.

“I’ll take a rest here today and start again tomorrow morning.”

Yoon Seung-Jae had a lot of work to do for the last break because he had to prepare meals and even prepare for bed.

Among the busy hunters, only Ye-Hyeon sat blankly without lifting a hand.

Yoon Seung-Jae was busy taking charge of miscellaneous tasks as he was big.

Ye-Hyeon, who became bored, sneaked up on Hunter, who was cooking in a simple bonfire while looking around.

“Is there anything I can help you with?” Ye-Hyeon asked.

“No, you don’t. Sit down and relax.”

“But…”

Ye-Hyeon awkwardly fiddled with his earlobes and blurred the end of his speech.

It’s not that Ye-Hyeon doesn’t want to work, but no one gave him a job.

“It’s okay to be just a healer.”

No matter how veteran a hunter is, there are not many cases where they could work with a healer unless he is a top ranker.

Veteran hunters had nothing to teach Ye-Hyeon other than giving him principled and ambiguous instructions, such as asking him to have a broad perspective or grasp the situation of the party member.

It was a difficult situation for each other.

Even during the fierce battle with the monster in the front, Ye-Hyeon only stood idly in the safest place, protected by other hunters.

In particular, not many people were injured in this sweep, so Ye-Hyeon followed them around without doing anything.

Ye-Hyeon just didn’t carry his luggage, but he felt like he was a porter.

It was the same that he was excluded from the battle and waited, but there was a huge difference between the treatment.

Ye-Hyeon snooped around and was rejected a couple more times before giving up and returning to his seat.

The warmest seat next to the bonfire was entirely Ye-Hyeon’s fixed seat.

He seemed to know why healers are called a nobleman.

‘It’s still in this order, but what was it like when you were called the emperor?’ Ye-Hyeon couldn’t even imagine it.

Soon night came to the desert.

The sky, which had no clouds, was colored with a blue color close to purple, and a group of stars comparable to the Milky Way shone.

Ye-Hyeon tilted his head to capture the process of changing the sky.

Ye-Hyeon felt like he could catch a star when he reached out.

It’s so vivid, but it was still amazing that it was not real nature, but a landscape inside the gate.

Ye-Hyeon’s heart beat a little faster than usual.

From the moment the sun went down, he was anxious inside .There was even a little light, and the leaves of the palm trees swayed in the cool breeze.

Ye-Hyeon went into his sleeping bag and tapped his cell phone.

Since it was inside the gate, it was possible to use it even if the radio wave isn’t existant.

The new hunters were impatient because to give their contact information even before Ye-Hyeon asked.

From experience, there was no harm in building up personal connections.

The number of contacts in the cell phone increased just by smiling and matching the rhythm as usual.

How nice it would be if it was this easy to build a good relationship even before regresion.

Even though he knew it was impossible, Ye-Hyeon complained to himself.

Ye-Hyeon lowered the screen and looked through the name.

‘It would be perfect if I had Shin Do-Gyeom’s phone number!’ Ye-Hyeon thought.

Ye-Hyeon opened the system.

[system]

The intimacy of ‘Target 3: Shin Do-Gyeom has decreased by 1 point.

Should Ye-Hyeon call this a survival report?

The only news Ye-Hyeon could get from Shin Do-gyeom was a drop in intimacy message that sometimes came to mind.

Even without meeting, the intimacy has steadily declined, and now it has surpassed -11 points.

‘Maybe I’m going to get minus 100 points at this rate’ Ye-Hyeon thought.

Ye-Hyeon comforted his mixed feelings and forced himself to sleep.
