Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 80



Episode 80

-Oh my gosh Suho! What on earth is going on?

Boom boom!

As soon as I answered the phone the loud voice almost made my eardrums bleed.

Suho answered the phone with an awkward expression.

“Haha… Hello uncle.”

-What are you saying? Suddenly your face appeared on the news and I almost fell asleep! How are you feeling? Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?

“it’s okay. There are no injuries whatsoever.

-Is it true?

“yes. It’s real. “I’m fine.”

-Turn to a video call!

The call was converted to a video call.

Then a middle-aged man looked over his cell phone and looked at Suho.

-Let me see. The face is still handsome. Your body… feels better? You’re really fine.

“Because it’s real.”

-You’re welcome.

It was only then that it was Su-ho’s uncle Jin-ho Yoo who let out a deep sigh of relief through the cell phone.

-You are a human. I thought you were just quietly drawing pictures at school but when did you become a hunter? If I had woken up I should have reported it to my uncle.

“sorry. “I’ve been so busy these days that I forgot.”

This was absolutely not an excuse.

Since I woke up incidents and accidents have been happening every day.

Even Suho himself was struck by the fact that just a month ago he was an art student calmly drawing ants in front of a canvas.

Yoo Jin-ho clicked his tongue at Su-ho’s obvious excuse.

-There is something else to forget. Is it hereditary to be indifferent to someone being your brother’s son? You didn’t even tell your grandparents right?

“yes. What are you talking about? “It would only cause worry to people who live leisurely in the countryside.”

-That’s right. If you even watched the news related to this issue how bad would it be for the hearts of elderly people? My heart was racing so much after watching the news that I postponed all of my meetings scheduled for today.

“I think my uncle’s heart is in worse condition. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen my grandparents sick in my life.”

-I don’t know you idiot! Anyway my schedule is empty right now because of you so you have time now right?

“Now? “It works.”

-Do you know how many people died in this disaster? I think my heart will calm down if I see you with my own eyes so it’s been a while since I’ve seen you face to face. Do you know where our company is?

“You want me to come to your uncle’s company now?”

-hmm. no. In the current situation if I wander around for no reason it would be annoying if people recognize me. I’ll have my driver take off so just put on some clothes and get in my car.

Just like that.

When the call ended Suho shrugged his shoulders.

“I guess it was better.”

It’s been a while since I saw my uncle’s face.

To shake off the annoying insects outside.

Suho put on some clothes to go out.

* * *

Squeak.

After some time a black limousine arrived in front of Suho’s house.

“Are you Seong Su-ho? “The representative sent it.”

‘Awakened?’

Lee Chae appeared in Suho’s eyes at the familiar magical energy he felt from the driver.

‘Did you send a driver and bodyguard?’

Doctor Min Byeong-gu was like that too but not everyone who was awakened wanted to risk their lives and enter the dungeon.

On the contrary there were quite a few awakened people who would engage in safe work outside of the dungeon if the salary was right.

chuck.

“Let’s get in the back. “I will open it for you.”

“no. “I’ll ride it myself.”

It was the moment when Suho politely tried to stop the driver from opening the backseat door.

“Now wait! Stop there!”

“Mr. Seong Su-ho! “Let’s talk for a moment!”

The scouts who were waiting for Suho to come out of the house rushed over and blocked his path.

“I’m a headhunter from the Hyeonmu Guild! “I understand you’re still a freelancer. Can we talk for a moment?”

“Let’s first listen to our conditions! No matter where you go a C-rank hunter will never receive conditions like these…!”

“Uh-huh! Why are you pushing people? Seong Su-ho let’s go to a nearby cafe first.”

The scouts are rushing to hand out their business cards to Suho and then grab Suho’s wrists and try to drag him away.

Suho’s brows furrowed slightly at their rude attitude.

[Scouts from large guilds are generally like this. In particular they are high-pressure against hunters of intermediate level or lower because they think they are superior.]

Quay who was used to this sort of thing whispered in a voice that only Suho could hear.

chuck.

“Would you like to ride first?”

At that time the driver who came to pick up Suho took off his black sunglasses and stepped in front of Suho.

“I will take care of this.”

When he took off his sunglasses his cold eyes that looked like they would cut him were revealed.

However the scouts did not pay any attention to his tough impression.

Rather they began to pressure the driver with a high-handed force.

“hey. “Can’t you tell what to wear and what not to wear?”

“Does the driver know who we are and dare to intervene?”

“Do you know how important an opportunity of a lifetime has just come to Hunter Seong Su-ho?”

The problem is that the scouts were also awakened.

Because they had to deal with hunters like this because of their job it was better to win the battle from the beginning and then go in to push for their conditions.

At that moment an unusual current of air was flowing between the driver and the scouts.

chuck.

“it’s okay. “I will tell you.”

Suho raised his hand to stop the driver and stepped forward.

Then the scouts’ faces brightened up and they began to condescend to Suho with an expression that they knew would happen.

“haha! Yes that’s right!”

“As expected you’re a young friend so we communicate well!”

“I assure you that your eyes will roll when you hear our conditions…”

That moment.

Rattling.

“…!”

The faces of the scouts who had opened their mouths with excitement quickly began to turn pale.

I just saw it.

Suho’s distant gaze looking at them indifferently.

A pitch-black abyss whose end cannot be guessed.

[‘Effect: Fear’ is activated.]

[All abilities of targets are reduced by 50% for 1 minute.]

At that time Suho opened his mouth.

“I don’t know what the conditions are but I will receive it by email. If you know your home address you probably know your email address. And if you come back blindly like this again…”

Tiring.

[Learned ‘Skill: Living Lv.1’.]

There was no need for an afterword.

As the system message guarantees Su-ho’s life was ‘real’ that he learned after going through numerous upheavals.

“Then driver let’s leave.”

Suho looks away from them and gets into the limousine.

The driver looked at that with a strange expression for a moment then put on his sunglasses again and lowered his head.

“yes. “Let’s go.”

Buuuung.

The limousine is moving further and further away.

It was only when Suho could no longer be seen that the breath they had been holding in came out of the scouts’ mouths.

“…Whoa.”

“What was it? “That now?”

“How can a person’s eyes be…”

“Hey you’re C-rank? “Are you sure about that information?”

“Weren’t you a summoner?”

As they looked at each other and rolled their eyes their minds were spinning and the sound of the calculator running anew could be heard.

It was the sound of Suho’s ransom being raised slightly.

[Solord what did you just do?]

On the way to the car Suho heard Ber’s excited voice.

[Could it be that you directly imitated Rakan’s Fang’s skill to despise the weak?]

‘huh. ‘Is it okay to just do it?’

[Big! You are great! Originally Lord So you were a prodigy since you were young!]

Leaving Ver’s fuss behind Suho checked the skill he had just developed.

[Skill: Living Lv.1]

Active skill.

Requires 100 mana.

Places the specified target in fear for 1 minute with powerful energy. Multiple targets can be specified.

Effect ‘Fear’: All abilities -50%

‘The details are the same as contempt for the weak. Should I say that it has become more versatile?’

Whatever the name the performance will be similar anyway.

Anyway if you try to kill someone who is stronger than you it won’t work.

* * *

“We have arrived.”

After a while.

A tall luxurious building appeared in front of Suho who got out of the limousine.

[Ajin Soft]

Korea’s best gaming company which was the first to successfully launch a virtual reality game.

Su-ho’s uncle Jin-ho Yoo was the founder of this company.

[Ajin Soft CEO Yoo Jin-ho’s miraculous success story of a young entrepreneur who refused to succeed to a conglomerate!]

This was the news title where Yoo Jin-ho started to become famous when Su-ho was very young.

But at this time no one would have expected it.

It is unlikely that the game company founded by Yoo Jin-ho the youngest member of that childish chaebol family would have achieved steady success for 20 years and established itself as the best game company in Korea.

In particular his first successful work a virtual reality game called ‘Beautiful World’ was a very long-running game that continues to be popular even after 20 years.

Middle-aged gamers who have been playing the game for over 20 years are even nicknamed ‘Mr. Viewer.’

“Would you like to follow me? “I will guide you to the representative.”

“Oh yeah.”

Suho walked along with the driver and looked around the luxurious interior of the company with a leisurely gaze.

‘I hear it’s something to see every time I come here.’

As expected from a company that has succeeded with virtual reality games state-of-the-art virtual reality equipment was on display in the spacious first floor lobby.

Suho also enjoyed playing games before his awakening so he was looking around with interest to see if there were any new equipment or games that were released.

‘…what?’

Today something different from usual caught my eye.

‘Why are there hunters wandering around game companies?’

Inside the building fully armed hunters were walking around looking murderous.

‘Why is the dungeon not even open?’

[Could it be that the flying insects knew that the Solord was here and followed him?]

[That said there is no reaction even when the Master makes eye contact. Could it be that you came here for other work?]

“For work? “What kind of work does Hunter have at the game company?”

As Quay said the hunters did not react at all when they saw Suho.

Among them a few with good senses noticed that Suho was a hunter and looked at him as if they were a competitor.

“What is that idiot?”

“With what confidence did you come here dressed so casually?”

‘…hmm?’

Suho became even more confused as the hunters looked at Suho’s casual clothes up and down and laughed at him.

“I guess those hunters are curious.”

The driver who was walking with him noticed Suho’s expression and explained it to him.

“This is because the new game the company is planning these days requires some advice from hunters. Because of that many hunters are coming to the company.”

“Are you a hunter because of the game?”

Suho looks even more puzzled at those words.

“yes. If the game does well the Hunter Guild that helped will benefit greatly from the publicity. This is confidential so please ask directly when you meet the CEO. “You happen to be over there.”

At that moment I saw Yoo Jin-ho talking with the hunters in the distance.

“haha. Representative too. Is there any other guild with a better image than our Hyeonmu guild? Collaborating with us has many benefits….”

“Hmm. But what if you keep coming back like this? “We will make the selection based on fair standards.”

“Oh of course. Of course you have to be fair. So please take a look at us armed like this and we…”

Manager Lee Young-ho of the Hyeonmu Guild was rubbing his hands together to please Jin-ho Yoo.

Just as Suho was trying to get there armed hunters blocked his path and glared at him.

“What are you again?”

“Adults are having an important conversation but I can’t understand the atmosphere….”

It was then.

“Oh my Suho! “You had a hard time coming!”

Yoo Jin-ho who happened to spot Su-ho smiled brightly and started running toward Su-ho leaving Manager Young-ho Lee behind.

“…!”

The hunters’ eyes widened at that lively appearance.
