'The human body is stronger than most people think, but if the mind collapses, it becomes infinitely weak.'
It would be virtually like a death sentence to be overwhelmed by the fear of monsters in the cold weather where someone could die of hypothermia.
”The moment one takes off one's clothes, one's hypothermia gets worse, and then the countdown starts.”
”Are you a doctor?”
Ahn had a bitter smile at Bang's question.
”The doctor is a slave, just a slave.” she thought. If she had been a really proper doctor, she would not have come to a large mart for cigarettes, sweets, and caffeine drinks to spend the night in the emergency room, rather than being on vacation at the end of the year.
”A slave who runs a cigarette errand at the end of the year when everyone else is resting.”
But now she was grateful. 'So I survived...'
If she was in the hospital, she would be dead now, or not much different. There were many knives in the hospital, but no weapons or hunters could have killed that terrifying Black Orc.
However, the situation was too serious to make it a comfort.
'Can I survive in the future?'
Even before half a day, the city had been full of vitality ahead of the end of the year, but now it turned into Hell. And this was just the beginning.
'In order to survive in the future, I will have to overcome the same crisis and hardships again.'
”But I am curious, how much is a doctor's salary?” Bang, who did not know her feeling, asked a question that lacked any sense.
Fortunately, she did not have to answer the question. Kim's ax-chopping had finally stopped. Of course, the conversation between Bang and Ahn also stopped, and the two watched his actions.
Kim pulled out the heart of the Black Orc, and then ripped out an orange jewel attached to the heart.
Monster Stone!
Kim walked over to Bang and Ahn, and ordered Bang, ”Take a picture.”
Bang fumbled to find the smartphone in his breast pocket and hurriedly pulled it out.
”Ah!” Bang, who took out his smartphone, sighed because the smartphone liquid crystal had cracked like a spider web. The Black Orc's fist had not been kind. ”I bought it just last month!”
”Take a picture.” Kim did not accept such a complaint from Bang.
”Oh, yes!” Bang swallowed a bitter smile and then activated the camera function.
He turned the camera to Kim's face and saw his face, a little angry over the broken LCD.
Ahn said to Bang on behalf of Kim, ”Take a picture... of the jewel.”
”Aha!” He quickly changed the direction of the camera to Kim's palm.
Snap! The flash went off and the picture was taken. In the picture, described in translucent letters...

”Wow, it must be a rare item.” Bang was surprised.
However, as soon as Kim confirmed the contents, he immediately put the Crystal of Black Orc in his mouth and swallowed it.
Then, before Bang and Ahn could even be surprised, he took the smartphone in Bang's hand, photographed his hand, and checked the contents.

Kim, who confirmed his ability of an Awakener, laughed bitterly. 'I have a rough idea of what I'm going to do. Damn it.'
It was the moment the First Hunter was born.
