Chapter 17 – Altar (2)

‘I’m different from that Taesoon guy.’

Taesoon had met a cruel fate due to him being hostile towards Hansoo due to his stupid ego.

‘Definitely… don’t want to become enemies’

Instead he wanted to on extremely close terms with Hansoo.

‘I’ve grown this much. How Am I?’

Sangjin was very happy with his current image.

His friends who had been looking at Taesoon were now looking at him and everybody gathered here, and even those older than him, were focusing on him.

He was not trying to show it in his thoughts but he could feel all the eyes on him.
‘This world is about to become better and better’

As long as you have strength you can stand in the center of this world.

‘Hansoo, with your powers you could probably let somebody around Mihee go’

If you become stronger then you can take women who are much prettier than Mihee.

Sangjin looked at Hansoo with an anxious expression.

And if everything went according to his plan Hansoo would probably agree.
Since the Hansoo he knew was a guy who wanted to see results without getting swept by with sympathy and emotions.

At those words, Hansoo spoke after pondering for a moment.

“…What did you say?”

But one person shouted in a hurry.

Everyone nodded at those words.

Since during the beginning of the clip the 70 of them pushed it back a little.

That thing healed as it ate more and more people.
Even if you push it back with numbers, the monster did not get tired whilst the people were getting chewed up one by one.

Hansoo just shook his heads.

“…Goddamit! Then what do you want to do!? Are you trying to fight it alone?”

“That’s it.”

‘Did you really get strong enough to the point to fight against that?’

He did not have any confidence in fighting that monster.

But that guy was saying that he will beat that thing up alone.
‘Damnit… Damnit…’

Whilst his inferiority complex, which was hidden away from his recent earnings of confidence, started to rise up again Hansoo spoke again.

While everybody was disappointed at Hansoo’s words, Sangjin actually felt better

If Hansoo were to ask him for help then he had the intentions to help.

Sangjin spoke with a happy expression.

And then Hansoo spoke whilst making an expression that was asking what he meant.
“I said you will only get in the way”

It might be different on a normal situation but the opponent wasn’t good.

Crunch

Basically he was still not qualified to be part of the hunt.

Since it has only been a short time since he started.
But since he was working diligently, he would probably catch up fast.

Sangjin settled down his anger and asked again.

Hansoo replied to those words.

30 of Strength and Stamina.

Strength and Stamina at 100, Perception and Agility needed to be around 50.

If the strength was lower than that then it was hard to penetrate the armor and if you lacked the stamina then you wouldn’t be able to hold on until it died.
Your agility and perception needed to be around that in order to sense and dodge its attacks.

Since it was a estimate that came from a long time of battle experience so it wasn’t wrong.

If it were other people then it wouldn’t be close to enough but if it was him then it was possible.

‘Kwang Goonju’

And he wouldn’t have known about this hidden piece if Kwang Goonju didn’t tell him about it teasingly.

But even this Kwang Goonju barely beat this while he become half a corpse.

It just wanted them to fight with each other and offer sacrifices.

That was why it was a hidden piece. No one had the thoughts of killing it and that was the reason why it was hidden.

But that meant for two to three days, 10 to 15 people would need to be sacrificed in order to buy time.

“So I have a suggestions. If you guys can push all the stats onto me, I will take responsibility and kill that thing”
‘And if I do that then the requirements to gain the second hidden piece will be complete’

Whilst Hansoo was thinking, somebody asked.

Hansoo shook his head as he answered.

Everyone frowned at those words.

Everyone felt the usefulness of the runes but the runes each person needed differed slightly.

And within this weird balance, the rune was used as a form of currency in some way.
Since one perception or agility rune meant they could trade it for two of strength or stamina.

But not everyone had gathered runes.

So the weak ones who would’ve been chosen as sacrifices didn’t have any runes to spare.

Since they could fight whilst having some runes collected.

In order to fulfill Hansoo’s requirements they had to empty their pockets of runes.

It wasn’t ok to not give the runes.
Because if they didn’t hand in the runes then it meant they basically wanted to sacrifice 15 weak people.

But it wasn’t ok to give the runes either.

The one who were weak enough to become a sacrifice had no runes. But then there was no time for these weak people to go hunt for the runes either.

Which meant that the people who could spare strength, who wouldn’t have had become sacrificed in accordance to Sangjin’s suggestion, would have to pay the runes instead.

A person who would be chosen first as a sacrifice because he was weak due to him hating fights.
“Shit! Somebody please gather the runes and hand it to him! Damnit! Or pick names out of a hat!”

Sneers were heard from one side at those words.

“What did you say?”

But the woman didn’t get startled at those sharp eyes and spoke.

She had confidence to go into the high ranks if they started choosing.

“Isn’t it obvious? Why should I give runes because of you? When there is such a huge difference in one or two of these? And somebody like you could die anytime so why what would I trust and lend it to him”
“Euuuu…”

The man couldn’t rebute.

Four runes meant 40 goblins.

If he were to repay the runes, he didn’t know how long it would take

“Fuck…”
The male grinded his teeth but he could only shrivel up because the Podao in the woman’s hand was too frightening.

But backing off here meant he was basically being sent into that altar.

“But then are you saying the weaker ones should just go die? What is this nonsense! Damnit! Weren’t you all raised in a democratic society?”

“Democracy is good. Then let’s vote for majority”

“Majority rules. We will vote. Between those to want to block it by giving runes and the side that wants to sacrifice. Of cause it will be a secret vote like the democracy you like so much”

“Doing this much means I’ve given you a lot of face. In actuality could you guys do anything if I break your limbs and shove five of you in there?”

They couldn’t say it out loud because of a guilty conscious but that nod meant that they agreed.

“Ahh…”

Since the result was very clear if they went for majority rule.

Around twenty would know they’re weak and would go against it but the remaining forty or so would agree.

The man hurriedly looked at Hansoo and shouted anxiously.

Then Hansoo shook his head.

This was one of the rules of the great unification.
Because that was the same as taking the salary of somebody in the streets because you had strength.

“If not.. then can’t you kill a few people and then gain the runes like that! If you kill around five to ten strong people then the amount of runes you set would probably come out!”

Killing stronger people gave more runes then weaker people.

“Well. That is true.”

“But then can’t you kill those guys then fight with the runes they drop? It’s better for ten to die then 15 to di… ahhhhk!”

One of the other men who were listening to this got pissed and had kicked the man who was talking.

That guy was definitely one of the ten strongest people.

He had seen clearly how Hansoo had fought on the first day.

They had gotten strong as well but this wasn’t something that could be compared with just the amount of runes.

A pig who had gotten a bit of muscle and speed couldn’t fight against a tiger of a similar size.

If that Hansoo decided with a lame counting method of then all of them would die.

He was listening in leisure because the talks seem to be leaning towards the female but if it were to go this way then he would be perished.

And then everybody started to shout.

“Are you telling us to die! It’s better for ten stronger people to die!”
“What nonsense! Then just kill the people in the middle and take their runes! We are going to be of help when we get out of here! It wouldn’t account to fifteen if you kill the ones in the middle!”

Hansoo sighed as he saw the chaos.

The Moon. Then the Altar.

And since they weren’t familiar with it they couldn’t back off a single step.

‘I need to do some traffic control’

“Be quiet”
Everybody stood up straight and stared at Hansoo’s lips at those words.
