Episode 84
Chapter 84. All the Rooms Are Full
Dungeon exploration, second day.
In terms of progress, it’s no different from the first day.
Since Kang Hoon stayed only at the starting point all day long.
Of course,
That doesn’t mean he was just playing around and doing nothing.
Instead of recklessly setting out on exploration like other Hunters who came here.
What he diligently did from dawn was─
“Enhancement!”
That’s right.
Gathering all the countless Golem Fragments rolling around at his feet.
“Enhancement!”
Repairing them.
“Enhancement!”
Repairing them.
“Enhancement!!”
And repairing them again!
Each time, flash.
Like a switch that had been turned off coming back to life, the empty eyes of the golems lit up.
The action shown by the golems that were revived this way was all the same.
Bowing their heads before Kang Hoon!
As a result.
Dozens of [Guardian Golem +1] bowing their heavy heads.
This was thanks to all of their command authority being registered to ‘Park Kang-hoon’.
As a test, he instructed these guys to also try breaking the cliff with their fists.
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
As expected, their performance was much inferior to Alba, whom Kang Hoon had first repaired.
“Alba must have been a very special individual.”
He tried giving them names one by one─
“Bean Stone. Stone Guy. Chubby!”
– ….
– ….
– ….
“Hmm. None of them recognize their own names?”
Unlike Alba, who got upgraded immediately once his name was decided.
Nothing like becoming smart enough to rival ChatGPT happened.
It seems there are special individuals among golems and those that aren’t.
“Well, Alba’s body decorations were much more elaborate and showed signs of craftsmanship.”
People who do art are naturally drawn to beautiful things.
Even among the scraps rolling around, the fragment Kang Hoon picked up was the most symmetrical and showed the most Craftsman’s effort.
It wasn’t like he deliberately observed carefully or anything.
It was unconscious occupational habit.
Kang Hoon himself never dreamed that would become the clue to finding Alba.
Still─
They seem to possess basic functions as golems.
– Here, this person is our ‘Master’. ‘Master’.
When Alba, being the same golem, informed them so.
– Ma… s… ter.
They knew how to repeat the same sound.
When given commands, they seek the most efficient method to execute them, and they’re also very diligent.
Even while quietly watching the amount Kang Hoon was doing,
Nod.
They exchanged glances among themselves, then scattered in all directions with heavy steps.
Then they went around collecting golem fragments that were rolling here and there.
Click, click, click.
They assembled them like puzzle pieces and even presented them ready for ‘Enhancement’.
“Even though they have no self-awareness, they recognize all the basic things. Good.”
This makes Kang Hoon’s work much easier.
Placing his hand on the pile of prepared fragments─
“Enhancement!”
…Just shouting that saves much more time!
Flash.
The last golem opened both eyes as if awakening from sleep!
– Mas… ter.
As the guy bowed toward Kang Hoon in gratitude.
The status window appeared with perfect timing.
【 Today’s Enhancement Skill casting count has been exhausted. ( 115 / 115 ) 】
“Awesome!”
The satisfaction of skill casting that fell perfectly without a single waste!
Clenching his fist,
“This is why I do Enhancement!”
As soon as he shouted, the status window appeared in succession.
Ding!
【 Congratulations!! 】
“Huh?”
However, the content was unfamiliar unlike before.
【 ‘Enhancement Specialist Who Enhances Well’. The unlock conditions for your Job-Exclusive Title have been met! 】
“…?”
‘Job-Exclusive Title’?
He didn’t even know such a thing existed.
Since it started with congratulations, he felt more bewildered than happy.
“…The unlock conditions were met? There was such a thing?”
As soon as the question was asked, the status window changed as if it had been waiting.
【 Unlock Condition : Repair destroyed golems. ( 30/30 ) 】
This was also news to him.
I’ve never heard of this even in the basic Hunter education online courses run by the nation.
Typically, it’s natural not to find these kinds of hidden quests.
Of course, quest conditions are different for each class.
If novice Hunters carelessly attempt them, they usually end up dead, so they’re excluded from basic education courses entirely.
…But.
Kang Hoon hasn’t even become a veteran yet.
Yet he’s unlocked the conditions for a job title all by himself!
“Shouldn’t our country’s public education be more thorough?”
Kang Hoon unknowingly said something that would make Hunter professors nationwide burst with frustration if they heard it.
That’s how.
Ridiculously fast his growth was!
“Hmmmm!”
After crossing his arms and staring intently at the status window.
“I get it.”
Kang Hoon understood.
“So it’s like a ‘Steam’ game mission.”
Being a homebody and gaming nerd helped at times like this.
The famous distribution platform ‘Steam’ where all kinds of overseas games gather.
When playing games purchased on Steam, hidden missions would sometimes be completed.
When that happened, popups would appear from the bottom of the monitor.
‘Die 100 times’, ‘Talk to all NPCs’, ‘Pick up the village chief’s underwear’, etc.
Secret quests you never knew about were hidden like that.
“Hmm. It’s similar to that.”
That’s how Kang Hoon easily accepted the unfamiliar status window.
The status window was more colorful than popup windows in monitor corners, which made him feel good too.
【 Job Title 「 Golem Mechanic(new!) 」 *Owned golem ability stats increased by 15% 】
The unlock condition was ‘Golem Repair’.
The title obtained was also ‘Golem Mechanic’!
“Wow, what’s this? This is totally… a title I never would have known about if I hadn’t encountered golems in the dungeon, right?”
Everyone says that.
You have to go to dungeons to be a ‘true Hunter’.
The community called that nonsense.
Saying it was bullshit from aggressive Hunters trying to look down on other Hunters who feared combat.
‘No. Looking at it now, it was true.’
Only today did Kang Hoon realize the truth of those words.
“Right. All the important things happen in dungeons.”
No one knows why Gates appeared, Awakened emerged, and status windows were given.
Countless scholars are researching it, but no one has provided an answer.
Today.
Humans must fight to survive.
They throw themselves into Gates to protect even a handful of land.
“You have to jump into danger to become strong.”
Kang Hoon is still a novice Hunter, and he’s at the stage of going to safe dungeons.
Then.
Very dangerous Gates that don’t even appear on broadcasts.
What on earth is happening in places where only a few top-tier Hunters enter?
“…”
Strange thoughts become tangled.
The thought that this world is cruel, and simultaneously, the thought that it’s truly beautiful.
The former was the extremely realistic sense of a common person.
The latter was the sense of an art student.
One thing is certain.
As an ‘Enhancement Specialist’, where his limits lie.
If he doesn’t discover it himself, he’ll never know.
“Moreover… ‘Owned golem ability stats increased by 15%’!”
Such a wonderful discovery!
The 30 massive golems currently guarding Kang Hoon’s side.
Kang Hoon is the commander of all of them.
In other words.
Everyone’s ‘ability stats’ increased by 15%!
“That’s amazing!?”
HP, MP, attack power, attack speed, critical hit rate, etc.
There had been many terms attached as ‘options’ so far.
And.
‘Ability stats’ is the largest category encompassing all those options!
──All status increases by 15%!
“This is crazy…”
This thing called ‘Job Title’.
It was a tremendous discovery in itself.
“…How many enhancement levels would I need to get this option through enhancement?”
+3 Enhancement? +4 Enhancement? …+5 Enhancement?
Whatever it was, he’d never seen an option that covered all ‘ability stats’.
“Wow…, for ‘golems’ specifically, full enhancement options will be attached all at once from now on.”
Purely admiring and enjoying it was brief.
“Ugh! How frustrating!”
There was a fact that made Kang Hoon squeeze his eyes shut─
【 「Creation」 Category Creator’s Secretary Office (Lease): ( 1/1 ) 】
…Kang Hoon’s 「Creation」 category is a studio room.
The one and only Secretary Office (Lease).
He had already moved the first golem into it.
In other words.
…The room is full.
───”I can only take one outside the dungeon!”
30 golems lined up before his eyes with gentle gazes.
Even if he gave them names, they wouldn’t understand.
Their combat power is weaker compared to Alba, but they’re still useful guys.
Logically, even having just one summoned creature gets you recognized as a ‘Summoner’, ‘Spirit Master’, ‘Tamer’, etc., and acknowledged as a Hunter.
Kang Hoon can now command a whopping 30 creations,
No, including Alba and Lucky, a whopping 32 creatures!
Since he can’t register all of them in the ‘Creation Category’, it’s just frustrating.
“Well, it’s fine.”
Still, Kang Hoon was quick to adapt to reality.
“I repaired them knowing I couldn’t take them out from the beginning anyway.”
Why did he repair all the golems that he can’t even take outside the dungeon?
“Good. Shall we keep going?”
──To use them inside the dungeon!
After all, didn’t he come here for power leveling?
Then he should level up.
These 32 creatures + the Spirit Dog would all become Kang Hoon’s leveling machines.
Kang Hoon climbed onto Alba’s shoulder and commanded.
“Let’s go! Everyone!”
As soon as he gave the command, a small earthquake occurred.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
Thud. Thud. Thud!
Dozens of golems marching in perfect step!
All of them were Kang Hoon’s subordinates and army!
Clenching their stone hands into fists, some even carrying spears and shields─
Their commander!
They escort their Creator, Park Kang-hoon!
“Let’s go~! Giddy up!!”
[Guardian Golem +1] military unit, full deployment.
* * *
Overnight, his impression of this dungeon had completely changed.
On the first day of the mission, the golems wandering around half-destroyed and sluggish had been threatening.
However, now.
Sitting on Lucky’s back as he stood majestically at his original size.
Kang Hoon joked.
“God still has thirty golems remaining!”
And pointing toward the Ancient Ruins, he shouted.
“Go! Golems! Annihilate them!”
At that moment, war broke out.
– …!
