Breaking Up With the Number 1 S-Class

4 – I Need Money [EPISODE – 0]

After attacking the Astaroth-level gate, I headed straight home.

I live alone with my sister in an ordinary two-room villa.

My parents died early and are not around.

“Si-eun, oppa is here.”

“Hey brother are you here?”

Opened the door.

My younger sister, who was watching TV, came out to the front door to greet me.

Lee Si-eun, a pretty cute girl with short black hair.

This cute girl who turned 17 this year is my only sister.

“How was your day? Isn’t Hunter work hard?”

“Huh? Hehehe. It’s not hard at all.”

“Hmm? I see.”

Lee Si-eun gave me a slightly worried face.

I responded with a bright smile.

Lee Si-eun also knows that I broke up with Yoo Eun-ha and resumed my Hunter job.

Today I came back from work as a Hunter, but I guess I was a little worried about that.

In the first place, Si-eun also knows what it means to be a gate and what it means to be a hunter.

Until I left, the gloomy expression continued.

But I’m not at all tired right now.

Originally, it would have been difficult, but today I encountered unexpected luck.

It was the great luck and words of obtaining an EX-level skill.

“Didn’t everything happen?”

“Yeah. Is there anything special? And oppa, I’ve prepared dinner, so hurry up and eat it before it gets cold.”

“Okay. Thank you.”

Si-eun looked at me a little strangely, but pointed to the table.

Where Shi-eun pointed her finger, there was a bowl of hot rice.

After lightly patting Si-eun’s hair, I was about to go to the table, but Si-eun stopped me once again.

“By the way, brother.”

“yes?”

“Brother. Was your body always this good? It seems that something has improved?”

“Huh? Why is my body? And I used to have a good body?”

“No… I know that, but somehow it seems like something has changed.”

Then he tilted his head and looked at my body as if he was a bit puzzled.

“And it seems like he’s a lot more handsome than before…? Well, he wasn’t as bad as before.”

Also, while staring at my face for some reason, Sieun continued talking.

Do you think I’m good looking?

After hearing Sieun’s words, I didn’t understand what the hell I had changed, and I didn’t know why she was saying that…

Aha! It was like that.

I soon found out why.

“Sieun-ah. Seeing you say that. It looks like you need some pocket money. Alright, that’s it.”

I smiled at Si-eun and handed a 50,000 won note from my wallet to Si-eun.

Apparently, Si-eun wanted to receive pocket money after a long time.

“Uh…?”

“Didn’t you need some pocket money?”

“No. I didn’t do it because of those words…”

“So you’re saying you don’t need it?”

At first, Si-eun was embarrassed and refused the 50,000 won I gave her, but when she saw that I tried to put the 50,000 won back in her wallet.

“Ah…! No, I need it.”

Si-eun quickly snatched 50,000 won from me.

“Hey! Thank you brother.”

And with a happy smile on his face, he went into his room.

“It looks bright and I feel good.”

I looked at Si-eun bitterly.

In fact, our family situation is not very good, and the cause is that we lost our parents due to a mysterious gate accident.

My siblings lived a pretty poor life, and that’s why I dropped out of school and quickly started working as a hunter.

Even just three years ago, Si-eun was the type of person who didn’t smile that much.

Still, Si-eun regained her smile from the moment our family situation began to improve.

I felt proud when I saw it.

However, on the other hand, I started to worry.

“I need money after all…”

I sighed.

Earlier, the family situation in our house is not very good right now.

I still have a lot of debt, and I had to raise money for Si-eun to go to university after graduating from school.

In order to do that, I had to earn a lot of money no matter what.

“Let’s do our best.”

Before my parents died, they left me a will.

These were the last words of my parents who died saying, ‘Please take care of Si-eun.’

Even because of that will, I intend to raise Si-eun better than anyone else until she becomes an adult.

No, in fact, even if he did not leave such a will, it is only natural that he would protect Si-eun in the first place.

Because I’m Shi-eun’s older brother.

“No matter what happens, until Si-eun becomes an adult…”

At least, I want to protect Si-eun until she graduates from school, goes to university, and grows into a full-fledged adult.

Unlike me, Si-eun wants to live without suffering.

“Let’s eat some rice.”

I smiled and headed to the table.

I was depressed for a while, but today is actually a very happy day.

Because I got an EX level skill.

Well well.

At the table, I ate the delicious rice prepared by Si-eun to fill my hungry stomach.

And now I look back on what happened to me.

‘Hmm… let’s organize the situation.’

I cleared the Astartor level gate today.

And there, I was lucky to defeat the boss called the Demon King.

In addition, as a reward, he even acquired an EX-class skill [Apex of Humanity: Hero].

I traced my memory and reconfirmed my skills.

+

[Peak of Humanity: Hero]

Rank: EX

Effect: As a hero who defeated the demon lord, the following abilities are granted to the owner of the skill.

1. All physical abilities are greatly increased overall.

2. Immune to all status ailments.

3. Immune to all diseases.

4. All growth rates are tripled.

5. All growth limits are removed.

6. A goddess watches over you.

+

“No matter how you look at it, it’s a very good skill.”

And once again he exclaimed in exclamation.

It was a skill that had EX-level skills and morale-level effects attached to it.

The form of the skill is a passive form, not an active form, that is, a skill that gives a buff, and that buff boasts the best performance ever.

It was such an ability that not only gave me great immunity, but also made me much stronger with little effort.

But to be honest, some of the effects were just abilities that anyone would have.

Helping with growth and giving immunity to the body is an ability that is widespread among A-ranks, even if it’s not S-rank.

Absolutely, even if those effects were added, it would be unreasonable to be called an EX-level skill.

But still, the reason why this is an EX class skill.

I dare to guess, the reason is [5. All growth limits disappear.] It must be because of the ability.

I can’t even guess how much value that phrase of this skill would have.

‘The limits of growth are disappearing…’

I imagined for a moment.

I haven’t tested the details yet, so I don’t know, and nothing has been confirmed yet, but if that ability is what I think it is…

I thought that this skill would probably be the ability to make me the strongest… no more.

Of course, this is just speculation so far, and I cannot rule out the possibility of drinking kimchi soup.

‘Shall I tell you this? If you let me know, I’ll be able to learn more about your skills, but…’

I thought for a moment and then shook my head.

To be honest, what happened to me was so embarrassing.

That’s why it would be nice if there was someone to ask someone in this situation that I had acquired EX-class skills, but I decided not to.

I can’t handle the things that will happen by speaking this skill.

The skill I have is a very rare skill that has never appeared in Hunter history.

If I boasted that I had such a skill by luckily clearing the Astaroth-class gate, it was certain that the people around me would send me stinging glances.

I can’t stand these. Jealousy and envy are not good to receive. You don’t know what will happen if you run around.

And above all, I don’t know for sure about this skill.

When the time comes to let someone know, it is not now.

I must first know this skill clearly.

‘By the way, what is the goddess watching?’

I recalled the description of the skill and suddenly had doubts.

Among the skill phrases, the most fraudulent phrase would be the phrase that the limit of growth disappears.

However, if you pick the most heterogeneous phrase [6. The goddess is watching you.]

What is a goddess?

What are you watching from me?

Are you a pervert who enjoys voyeurism?

I couldn’t guess at all.

First of all, I am an atheist. don’t believe in god

It’s just amazing that a goddess exists now.

In any case, it’s probably because it’s an EX-level skill, so there’s a lot of things I don’t know.

But I just thought so.

I’m watching anyway, and I don’t think there’s anything harmful to me.

“Hmm… It would be better to hit the real battle right away.”

I continued to think while eating.

And I came to one conclusion.

I turned on my cell phone and started exploring the gates around me.

[Single Gate, Level B Difficulty]

Of the many, many gates out there now, I found the right one.

“It would be nice here.”

After I finished eating, I headed straight for the gate.

Now was the time to test my skills.
