gunslinger.

It was a term used to refer to those who did not awaken as players, but participate in monster hunting using modern weapons that can counter monsters.

Their uses varied.

A skilled gunslinger could also pursue and heal with special equipment.

In addition, he often responded to the checks of monsters.

They can’t compare to the players, but their ransom was also considerable.

However, it is the dungeon where even players cannot guarantee their lives.

So even the gunslinger could not escape death.

He would die without a chance to properly improve his skills as a gunslinger.

Therefore, gunslingers were often used, at best, for numerical superiority.

Thanks to the development of science and technology, monsters treated as the lowest level in the dungeon can be sufficiently contained with modern weapons, and gunslingers were useful as porters.

“How many years have you been doing this?”

A gunman asked Do-hyeon, who was wearing a welcome mask.

I was just curious.

The illusion mask is something that players cannot easily obtain.

The gunslinger was wearing a phantom mask, so he would look like a veteran who had rolled around on the floor.

“… Isn’t it our first meeting? I don’t think it’s a very friendly conversation.”

Do-hyeon lightly ignored the gunman and went to the corner alone.

The gunslinger, who was chewed on by the question, grumbled as if he was in a bad mood.

Then he went back to where his comrades were.

There was so much to say, so I went and made fun of my mouth.

A gunslinger in a phantom mask.

It certainly wasn’t that common.

It was enough to be a sight to behold.

But Dohyun didn’t care whether he looked at him from the side or not.

His gaze was fixed on only one place.

It was on the side of the road in a quiet park.

Shortly thereafter, several foreign SUVs came rushing in.

Several men rushed out of the car.

All of them exuded a sense of intimidation due to their slender body.

They were probably well-trained players.

“Is it all right?”

Among those who arrived, one who appeared to be the team leader met and talked with a gunman recruiter.

Finally, it seemed to check the personnel and revenue issues.

After several debates, the negotiations were finally concluded.

The players entered the dungeon without even looking at the gunman.

After all, gunslingers were like disposable chopsticks to them.

That’s why they didn’t notice a single ugly gaze on them.

‘Lee Jeong-ho. He used to work for the Samhwa group.’

Do-hyeon was throwing a blatant gaze under the mask of illusion.

He definitely remembered it.

Among the many characters, it wasn’t that important.

But he was featured in the main story, so he could recall.

Jung-ho Lee, he did the dirty work with Park Yoo-myeong’s limbs.

No matter how hard I tried, I didn’t know the character’s face.

However, in this situation, the only person who could come here was Lee Jung-ho.

He said, ‘I set my skills to be good among the players.’

Lee Jung-ho, who was covered in blood instead of the owner, was doomed to be spit-out someday.

Dohyun knew what he was going to do in this dungeon.

Dohyun put a smile on his lips.

‘There is nothing lacking in writing as a doll.’

This is because a new use of Lee Jung-ho came to mind.

in a dark cave.

The climate and terrain of the dungeons were as diverse as the monsters that appeared.

This dungeon was a damp and dark cave terrain due to the nature of the ant monsters.

As if to tell the size of the ant monster, the inside of the cave was very spacious and the ceiling was high.

“Raise the torch!”

“Gunslingers put weapon lights on automatic rifles! Everyone, get your sights fast!”

The dungeon attack team began to move busily.

But there was something a little suspicious.

The staffing of the dungeon attack team was different from usual.

They were blatantly leading the gunslinger team.

The players who were presumed to belong to the Samhwa Group were only slowly following them from behind.

Although the gunslingers are versatile, this arrangement contained a vicious and blatant connotation.“Isn’t this totally telling us to die?”

Choi Won-il, a young man next to Do-hyeon, said in a trembling voice.

He was trembling not only in his voice, but also in the hand holding his gun.

He was a beginner on a gunslinger mission.

After graduating from college and unable to find a job, he used the money he had collected from various places to buy equipment and jumped into the gunslinger job.

Even if the work is risky, the money is guaranteed.

He jumped into a job that risked his life because he couldn’t find a job, so it was definitely strange.

It was like getting on an Alaskan snow crab boat because you couldn’t get a job.

However, in a world engulfed by dungeons and monsters, the danger of a gunman became nothing.

If one of the large-scale quests failed, the living ground was devastated in an instant, and human lives were torn apart like ants.

The flashy nightlife of pretentious gunslingers is posted on social media every day.

I only had a baseless confidence that I couldn’t say I was.

However, it seemed that his confidence had disappeared when he actually set out on the mission.

This was the price for choosing a mission with a high dividend even though it was the first mission.

The dungeon attack team was blatantly pushing the gunmen into their limbs to the extent that even novice Wonil Choi noticed.

If you are unlucky, you will lose your life on the first mission.

“There, uncle. He says he seems to have worked here a lot, can I ask you something?”

Choi Won-il bit Do-hyeon in a special way.

It was because the gunslingers around were clamoring that Do-hyeon, who wore a welcome mask, was a veteran.

“Is this okay now? The staffing is a bit odd.”

“… … .”

“Isn’t the original player going to take the lead?”

Choi Won-il made fun of his mouth nonstop.

Dohyun finally sighed.

“Did you know that the risk pay varies depending on the dungeon? Wasn’t it strange that the risk pay was set high for a dungeon where only ants were hunted?”

“yes?”

“I’m asking if it’s not strange for a beginner like you to be assigned to a high-paying dungeon attack team.”

Choi Won-il’s face turned white.

I realized my mistake too late.

Every price is commensurate with its value.

If you were blinded by greed and violated it, you were likely to be deceived in this way.

“Well, you have to do this anyway to build a career… … .”

“And then you die.”

Do-hyeon quietly intercepted Choi Won-il’s words.

There was an arrogant exchange of words among the other gunslingers.

He seemed to have overheard Choi Won-il and Do-hyun’s conversation.

Their lips were full of laughter.

“If you look at the pay, don’t you see each other? You should have expected this.”

“You haven’t done your research properly, huh?”

It was a sight they were already familiar with.

Dungeon & Monsters started and several jobs were created around the world.

However, the number of players who could be called the protagonists of this world was extremely small.

Because if you are not chosen, you cannot become a player.

However, those who are aiming for one hundred thousand gold wanted to earn a lot of money in the dungeon, even if they were not players.

There were also cases where the player side had a dungeon that had to be solved with a quantitative offensive.

In this way, the mutual understanding of each other coincided with the creation of the gunman.

So many people rushed into the dungeon like moths jumping into the fire.

And among them, the few who survived boasted their achievements on social media.

In exchange for risking his life to go to the dungeon, he bought a luxury foreign car or rented a luxury penthouse to show off his wealth.

As a result, there were many cases of cold-blooded people with their splendid appearances claiming to become gunslingers.

The end of such a frenzy was as obvious as fire.

There was only death.

At first glance, being a gunslinger seemed like an easy job, all you had to do was take risks.

However, in reality, it was a task that required careful analysis and judgment.

There were a few things that those who rolled in the gunslinger board kept in mind.

First of all, you should not aim for a lump sum.

Calling high pay for a gunslinger is because the job is risky.

It was difficult to avoid death if a novice gunner went.

And in battle, you have to be quick.

If he ran out of excitement and said he was going to kill them all, he would go straight to the Nether Road.

So this long-rolled gunslingerThey used to ignore the wanderers.

The immaturity of choosing this profession based on simple envy.

A baseless confidence that you think you are different.

laughing at things like that.

Hearing what the gunslingers around him were saying, Choi Won-il was terrified.

Some even bet on his life or death.

Even if I realized it, it was already too late.

Since you’ve come this far, if you run away, you’ll have to pay a penalty that is more than twice your pay.

There were also investments in firearms and various equipment, but it was difficult to pay the penalty.

“Listen. Don’t try to hit the ball uselessly. Don’t even try to make money. Just focus on surviving. It would be better if other guys were used as shields.”

“yes?”

“There are a lot of people who see you as a wanderer and consider yourself a veteran. So, don’t think about making money, and use them.”

Choi Won-il shook his head at Do-hyun’s words.

This is because the only person here who gave advice for him was Dohyun.

The monster’s by-product is quite a bit of money.

It was a luxury for newbies to take such a by-product, but they could also earn a huge side income.

So many newbies struggled to get even one more by-product.

Dohyun pointed out not to do it.

Instead, it’s better to shield the veteran gunslingers when they’re collecting by-products.

Even though Choi Won-il was a rookie, it wasn’t that he had a bad brain at all.

He decided to keep Dohyun’s words in mind.

He was wearing a suspicious mask, so he was a bit shy.

But he was at least better than the gunslingers behind him.

At least he’s not betting on his own life or death or making fun of himself.

“The battle will begin soon. Then, don’t do anything stupid, just step back and focus on the cover fire.”

“I, my seat is not in the back row, is it?”

“I don’t even expect a novice like you to keep the ranks. Everyone thinks you’re going to run away or die.”

“… … .”

Choi Won-il suddenly became angry at the words that decided his death.

But he had nothing to say, so he bit his mouth.

That was then.

The pebbles on the ground of the cave started popping like popcorn.

Then a roaring sound came crashing down like a wave.

ur ur ur!

It was a huge swarm of ants.
