Chapter 11 (1/2)

Il-hyun arrived at the house, and then reversed his face and clothes that had been transformed earlier.

When his face had gone back to its original, he went straight to the bathroom.

After the battle with the monsters, the overturned dirt and bloodstains were not acceptable.

And after taking off the messy clothes, he turned on the shower and poured warm water over his body.

After a pleasant wash, Il-hyun took out the items he had obtained.

Eight ether cores were smaller than the usual one.

He grabbed the core with one hand and absorbed it one by one.

“Definitely, the output is a bit weak… It tastes boring.”

Il-hyun had tasted bad.

Just as a person cannot live on one, the core of the E-rank monster that was absorbed by predation was also bitten.

But it wasn’t too hard right now.

D-rank monsters are on a different dimension from E or F-ranks.

It was the starting point of the monster rank, classified as the Ace Monster.

D-rank gates did not pour dozens of D-rank monsters.

If so, mankind would have perished.

If it was a D-rank gate, it was a concept in which a base monster appeared in dozens to hundreds of E-ranks, and one or two ace monsters appeared in a D-rank.

When playing as a game, if the base monster was a nasty monster, the ace monster could be considered as a semi-boss.

Of course, there was no pattern of ace monsters at all for the inclination of the gate, and the pattern changed, for instance, the base monster had a relatively high rank, but in the normal case.

So, of course, the difference between the level of D and E rank monsters, which is the standard for distinguishing between ace and base, was remarkable.

There was no need to take that risk while hiding the instincts of scavenging.

After he finished living in scavenging, he wasn’t too greedy.

Il-hyun collected the core pieces that were broken and scattered on the floor and put them in a plastic bag.

He threw it in the corner of the veranda, which already had several of the same envelopes.

It was impossible to separate and collect the core pieces that piled up while absorbing them, and it was impossible to transform them to the opposite sex.

That said, he couldn’t throw it away anywhere, so he was privately troubled.

“You must stop doing this.”

Il-hyun sat on his sofa, his back pressed against the sofa’s rest, he murmured without help.

Hiding around the congestion consumed more heart than he thought.

He had many things to think about, and when he used the power. He became hesitant for a while.

He became cautious about even the smallest things he usually did without thinking.

“But there is not much left now.”

Il-hyun clenched one of his fists.

He felt strong enough to be incomparable to the first.

If he absorbed the core a little bit more, he could have the power required to demand for a contract in the awakening company.

(For example, in a condition where a detailed performance grade was not disclosed and was treated as private.)

Lee Tae-in, a B rank awakener who was the current sign of Vals, has not revealed his ability grade to anyone.

Usually, since the awakening’s skill level was essential to the company’s promotion or job hunting, such requests were rarely accepted.

However, it was said that Itaein laid the point in terms of the contract from the beginning.

His request was eventually accepted, and that was possible because he was the main class Awakener.

And one of the most important conditions for Il-hyun.

Taking ownership of the ether core from the monster he hunted.

It was essential for his future growth.

Ether was nothing more than an awakening company’s profits, so he won’t be able to demand it all.

However, some stipulated that they wanted to the core instead of money.

“C rank chin… No, even if it’s just the top rank of D, if you put up the instinct I have, I’ll try to take it with my prospect turned over.”

Il-hyun did not know what grade he was exactly.

The level of awakening was not so simple as to be randomly measured anywhere.

But only three instincts.

Even if he hid the level of detailed instinct, having three instincts was huge merit.

Moreover, all three instincts were an entirely new type of intellect that had never been known.

It was a spec that could remain even after the eyes of companies turned around.

If he revealed that all three of them were SSS ranks, it would be annoying, and all governments and companies will take him with a free pass.

No, he was going to have to make a decision.

And he didn’t have to worry about that.

But the problem was that they weren’t the only ones interested.

Instead, an overly extraordinary talent could be the target of others.

A South American awakener, who received the expectations of everyone on the S-ranked instinct, died of a throat (this is incomplete) in her home when she was 19.

IRC, a criminal organization of awakened people, tried to recruit him, but when the story went wrong, he was killed and left without regret.

Unless they were members of the same group, they were awakened men who could be a threat to them, so it was something they had to recruit, remove, or do.

Also, a promising individual, with an A-ranked instinct, who was in Iran for ten years, was missing only for his dead body to be found drifting down the river.

Sometimes, there were no rumors about rats and birds dead, but rumors got out that they were assassinated and killed by other country’s enemies.

If he has a high level of awakening in Korea, he might think it’s relatively safe, but what about SSS ranks that have no history?

He didn’t even want to imagine what might happen.

Even if he concealed his head, it still hurt, but he didn’t want to live his life worrying about being assassinated.

At the age of 20, the prosecutor’s office had revealed all of his instincts. Still, at the time, the employee dismissed it as a simple machine error and made a record as a general without any ability.
