I Am the Only Non-Returner

chapter 24



24 – It’s unfair that it ends after being beaten

All the clothes the man was wearing were torn apart, and even the great sword that was stuck in it fell out.

Kim Hyun-ah quickly drew her great sword and stepped back to assess her situation.

The man who completed his transformation in an instant looked like a huge, muscular weasel.

The gray fur that covered its messy body was full of shine.

“f*ck…”

He was probably about 3 meters tall, and the nails on his hands were as sharp as a well-honed sword.

Blood was still flowing from the thighs and body of the man who had turned into a monster weasel, but the man did not seem to care.

Kkkyakyahhhhh!

The sight of the weasel that was letting out a creepy laugh disappeared in an instant.

Wow! Gagagagagagak!

The weasel moved behind Kim Hyun-ah and attacked to pierce her neck. However, Kim Hyun-ah also blocked her attack and was pushed back a few steps before she lightly bent her neck left and right once.

Hyuna Kim had one of her ears cut off.

“Kreuleeurehehehehe?”

The weasel’s eyes drew an arc and it chewed the ear that was stuck in its nail.

The weasel swallowed its ear and disappeared again.

“Kaaang!”

Kim Hyuna struggled to block the attack of a weasel with crazy speed.

After that, the battle between Kim Hyun-ah and her weasel took place dozens of times.

It was a weasel that attacked one-sidedly, and Kim Hyun-ah used her huge greatsword to solidify her defense.

Kim Hyun-ah’s other ear was torn off and her two fingers were cut off. The shelter was filled with only her worried sighs, but as time went by, more and more cheers began to be heard.

This is because it was visible that the weasel’s speed began to noticeably slow down.

White smoke was coming out of the weasel’s body, and its body was slowly getting smaller.

When Kim Hyun-ah, who had been on the defensive for a while, placed the tip of her sword on the weasel and tried to run.

Beep!

Wei Karun (Lingling) declared surrender.

Hyuna Kim (Dog) won.

Obtained 10,000P.

The player returns to the shelter.

Yeee!!

Whoa! Sister is the best!!!

I won~~~~~~~!

Kyahahahaha-!

Is it because it is a game where life-like points are at stake?

The people at the shelter were very excited and surrounded Kim Hyun-ah, who returned to the shelter, cheering for her.

10,000 Points, it’s sweet hahahaha

However, Kim Hyun-ah’s expression upon her return was not as bright.

“···Sister, you don’t look good. Is it because your head hurts somewhere?”

Eunchae asked worriedly.

“··· I feel a little better after getting beaten up…”

She held on for a while, and now that it was her turn, she seemed sad that it was over.

A lot of people died. When I first started, I thought it wouldn’t be easy just seeing the shield be cut off with a single roar.

For a long time, I looked at the people who were praising Kim Hyun-ah’s achievements and at Kim Hyun-ah’s slightly flushed face.

I felt a little itchy.

What is this feeling?

<13:58:33>

This time, the break was long, perhaps because it finished early.

List of stores.

Billiard table set, Spillier mob stone bracelet, leaf mustard kimchi, plum, grape seed oil, pepper, Mobilam low-grade helmet, condom, salt

“Oh! Kimchi is out!!”

When Euncheol shouted, everyone looked into space.

The chef and his wife seemed very satisfied with the grape seed oil, salt, and pepper provided, and the uncle muttered to himself, “The price of a pool table set…”

I wonder how much the pool table costs.

Price: 850P

Wow, why is it so expensive?

Are pool tables originally expensive?

You should have tried it to know. hahahaha, where is the other equipment?

Spillier Mauve Stone Ring

– A ring made by crafting mauve stone, which is mined in very small quantities at the Spillier Mine. The extremely beautiful glow has the effect of stabilizing the mind and body.

– Magic Power +55

Wow! It increases your mana by 55! The price?

Price: 199,800P

No, don’t play around in the front seat!

That’s 200,000 points! I’m shaking.

Still, I think it would be great if Kahi came along.

Should I buy one instead of going through the trouble of saving it for no reason?

But considering the price of the Rosherdin sword, it seems a lot expensive, I don’t know. Are jewelry inherently expensive? Or it could be that mob stones are extremely rare.

You may be wrong in thinking that all items appearing in stores are reasonably priced.

Let’s think about this a little more.

Mobilam Lesser Helmet

– A helmet issued to ordinary soldiers of the Mobilam Kingdom.

– Shield +700

– Durability: 30/30

Price: 1200P

Hmm, I think this is okay? I have to buy them one by one.

Me, Euncheol, and Suzy are essential, but should I also buy Kahi? I don’t think Kahi will ever come out of the shelter anymore…

“··· Shelter Chief. I would like to leave the great sword for repairs.”

Hyeon-ah approached, dragging a sword that had lost its blade here and there.

Why drag it around so hard when you can’t even lift it inside the shelter?

Durability 34/120

“Wow… It doesn’t normally go bad this quickly, right?”

“··· That’s right. If only I had handled it better…”

Why are you so depressed again?

I guess I really liked looking at the sword with affection.

Resident Hyuna Kim requested repairs to her Suroichi sword. Do you agree? Y/N (Cost: 2192P)

Wow, look at the repair cost.

Agree.

As soon as I agreed, Suroichi’s great sword turned into a bead of light and disappeared.

Repair of the Suroichi greatsword has begun at the blacksmith shop.

– Time remaining 02:13:59

It takes quite some time. I guess I’ll just have to hope Daejeon doesn’t come during this time.

Srurrruk-tuk-tuk-

Are all these cute insectivores eating too much?

Caterpillars whose bellies are so bloated that they turn over and cannot get up.

Ha-eun must have been watching the whole time and came over to the caterpillars, cackling, and stroked their bellies.

I… Can I touch it too… Huh-huh-

“Hey…You’re practicing…”

“Ah, Suzy. I thought I wouldn’t be able to use the trait tomorrow, so I wanted to try it in advance.”

Now that the boss battle is over, it’s time to work with Suzy.

People immediately gather around Suzy and watch with interest, as if they are curious about her abilities.

“Okay, I’ll try. I’ll connect it from here to the corner of the shelter.”

She stared for a while, looking back and forth between the space surrounding us and the space at the end of the shelter. Then, with her eyes half-open, she began to move her palm forward as if touching something.

It looks like a pantomime.

Then, a rectangular border of light was drawn in two places at the same time, and a black plain door was created.

The color… Looks like I don’t want to go in.

The door, which looked as if it had been burned, gave an ominous feeling.

But Suzy calmly walked to the door and winked at me.

“Will only the shelter director try it?”

“Let’s do everything we can.”

I decided to try it with four people: Euncheol, singer Eunchae, and Go Okja.

Four people held her hands and both forearms, and the late Okja hugged Suzy from behind.

“Hold on tight.”

As I slowly entered inside, step by step, I was greeted by pitch-black darkness. And then I walked carefully to the faintly glowing border on the other side.

After passing through a dark space where I couldn’t even see an inch ahead, I came to stand in front of the door. When Suzy opened the door, I saw a familiar scene.

The place where you can see Euncheol’s room at the very end.

“I’ll be holding the door, so everyone come out.”

One by one, they walked out, and that was the end.

“It doesn’t feel very dangerous, does it?”

Kahi spoke to Suzy indifferently.

“You just have to make sure you don’t miss me while you get to the door.”

I thought it would be possible if I just reacted quickly when opening the door.

I went back to the sofa and asked about the previous situation.

“You go through the door, and the door on the other side opens almost immediately?”

“··· I walked down a dark road for quite some time… But it seems like the time is not reflected. I need to reduce the number of people entering. I heard the door opened only after the last person to enter was fully inside the door.”

“Hmm – then it would be better if Suji and I go together. Of course, let’s do it together tomorrow, just the two of us.”

“Ah… Yes!”

But he doesn’t show any signs of dislike anymore.

Now that we are partners, I had a conversation with Suzy in the corner of the shelter.

She is 24 years old, she has no boyfriend, and she lives alone.

··· Why did the story go this way? Let’s talk about work.

“Can Suzy’s characteristics be used in the air?”

“···· I tried it in the first round. Once…”

Her expression seemed to have suddenly darkened. When I asked her why, she pursed her lips for a moment before answering.

“I used it to heighten the monster’s face as a last resort in stage 20.”

Seup- Huu-

“There was a specialist who planted a bomb, and I went with him. He was a little mentally unstable. It wasn’t that bad at first… Anyway, his bomb was so powerful that I thought I’d give it a try anyway. I did.”

I was going to die anyway, so I risked my life and tried to attack for the last time. Is this you? I just can’t imagine it.

“But then he opened the door, came out, hugged me, jumped into the monster’s mouth, and blew himself up…”

“Huh…”

That’s right… I have nothing to say.

She took a long time to wash her dry face, as if something unpleasant about her had occurred to her, and then sat down on her sofa.

“I don’t know if you caught the monster?”

“It caused a lot of damage. According to the director, but in the end, the time limit hit and they all died.”

Aha… We were on the same team as the director in the previous episode. But why did we do it with the same team again?

In the end, I couldn’t bear it and asked why.

“I thought that if I just avoided that crazy person, I could go up higher. In fact, we made it to stage 20 without any major crisis… So I thought we would do well if we did it again. But since we’re not the only ones doing it again, everything will be different. Throw it away…”

“What did that bomb traitor do on stage 20?”

“Shortly after the 20th stage started, several men suddenly collapsed and became unable to fight. Looking back, I think it was that bastard’s fault.”

“…What is the basis?”

“Okja said she heard something exploding next to her. Maybe she planted a bomb in the men’s bodies…”

hehehehe… I guess I’ll see all the crazy people. The boss battle is starting, but you killed your precious team members?

Gulp-

I think I asked him to talk too much. She swallowed her saliva and looked a little exhausted.

“I understand. I think I brought up a bad memory for no reason, and I’m sorry.”

“No worries! I can talk to you anytime…”

I nodded and got up and walked around the shelter for a while.

But Eunchae came next to me and started walking along.

······

I don’t want to see you because I have something to say…

Hey, maybe! You weren’t sleeping when I touched your cheek, right?!

“Your cheek.”

“aaah! What are you looking at?”

“No, I said I had something on my cheek…”

Then, he lifts his leg as high as possible to remove something like dust from his cheek.

“Ah uh… Thank you.”

I thought my heart was dropping hehehe-

“But… What did you talk about with that person…”

“Hmm? Oh, Suzy? We need to work together now, so we talked about it. The trait can be activated even in the air.”

“Ah~ It works in the air too~”

“Oh, I think it’ll be useful when dealing with tall guys.”

“Hmm~”

I didn’t think he came because he had anything to say to me, so we walked a few laps together in silence.

“Then I’ll go to sleep…”

“Okay, get some rest.”

And Kahi, who was watching the two from afar, shook her head.
