Chapter 47 - Bane of Trolls (1/2)
While looking at the orc, Soo Hyuk saw the man who called out from the entrance.
‘Is that a User?’
A guild mark was above the man’s head, so he was definitely a user.
‘Is he an archer?’
In addition, the user was holding a bow, not a wand, and had a Dagger at his waist. Obviously not a wizard.
‘Is it over?’
There were only wizards in the Tower. There were no other jobs. Being an archer, the user looked like he was from another area.
‘Why?’
Soo Hyuk wondered ‘There were many other good hunting grounds. Why did he come here?’
“Hello.”
The user greeted Soo Hyuk while he was thinking.
“My name is Doran.”
“Oh, yes. Hello.”
Soo Hyuk also greeted Doran who introduced himself, lapsing into an awkward silence.
“That…Sorry. I didn’t know you were hunting.”
Doran broke the silence, apologizing.
“Oh, no.”
Soo Hyuk, who never thought he would apologize, shook his head to Doran’s sudden apology.
“I wasn’t hunting.”
Again, they lapsed into silence…
-Good!
It was neither Soo Hyuk nor Doran that broke the silence. Fire Storm’s duration was over and the orcs that had not yet died began to run.
“Fire Dance.”
With five orcs coming in, Hyuk cast Fire Dance. Within seconds, all five Orcs died and the drop window was updated.
Hyuk pressed {OK} to acquire all the items in the Drop Window.
Then he looked back at Doran. Doran opened his mouth.
“I want to ask a question.”
“…What is it? ”
“Did you hunt down the village yesterday?”
Doran’s words were surprising.
‘How did he know?’
Soo Hyuk hunted down the village the day before as Doran said. But how did Doran know that?
“Yes, but how did you…”
“Ah, so you doing it as well!”
Doran exclaimed, with much excitement.
“I’m hunting them for fun because I have the equipment for it. I found a village yesterday and it was empty. So I asked. Haha.”
“Oh, I see.”
“Are you going to keep hunting Orcs?”
Soo Hyuk thought at Doran’s question.
‘If you hunt an orc, you don’t get shit?’
‘Doran said he was doing this for fun. In other words, he wasn’t hunting with experience points in mind. What if I answered that I would keep hunting orcs? Am I not doing that right now? Or would it not bite me in the ass later?
Did Doran notice Soo Hyuk’s apprehension? Or was it because Soo Hyuk said nothing? Doran continued.
“If you’re hunting orcs, I’m going to hunt trolls!”
At Doran’s words, Soo Hyuk gave up.
‘Is it because of Adilo?’
It seemed that Soo Hyuk was worried after being influenced by Adilo’s PK attempt. Wasn’t there a condition for that? PTSD or something?
“For the time being I’m going to be hunting orcs.” Soo Hyuk replied.
“All right.”
Doran nodded and looked at Soo Hyuk’s answer. Then he smiled and said “I am going to go, then. Have fun!”
“Yes, goodbye.”
Doran turned back when Soo Hyuk said goodbye and immediately left the village.
After Doran went out of sight, Soo Hyuk also exited the village.
It was a fact that he had already destroyed the village, so Soo Hyuk had no reason to be in the village. Soo Hyuk opened the character window as he left:

‘85, huh?’
Clearing the villages only once had granted him tremendous experience.
My leveling is going to slow down now.’
It was a lot of experience, but it’s slower compared to his leveling yesterday, and it was going to slow down even more.
He closed the character window after investing all of the bonus stats in Wisdom and opened his inventory to check Boss Monster Taran’s drops.
