Chapter 4

Jinhyuk was not yet free to get drunk.

He wanted to be alone first.

"Fxxk...."

When he arrived home, he could only let out an expletive that sounded like a sigh.

He dragged himself into the living room and just lay down on the floor.

Jinhyuk looked around his 40-square-meter apartment and sighed.

The apartment he lived in looked spacious because he lived alone.

It was difficult to pay the rent with his daily wage.

Still, Jinhyuk wanted to live in this house even if he had to overwork himself every day. He still had a vague hope that one day he would make it.

But that hope disappeared today.

As a D-rank hunter, he could never succeed. Not if he had no capital.

"I should move out of this apartment this month.

I should live in a place that is more suitable for my situation.

That was Jinhyuk's opinion.

It's only realistic to quit the hunter job and slowly save money to find a better job.

"Sigh..."

Jinhyuk made a decision, but he felt even more depressed because it wasn't what he wanted for himself.

His frustration grew as time passed.

At that moment, he heard something fall in the attic.

"W-what is that?"

Did the stacked items up there fall down?

Kang Jinhyuk hurriedly stood up and opened the door to the attic.

"O-oh...?"

He was speechless when he saw what was in his attic.

There were stone walls, like in games or movies, intertwined and forming a sort of maze.

He had no idea why something like this appeared in his attic.

As he inched closer to take a look, he was shocked when a goblin suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Ahh!"

He was so surprised that he fell backwards, knocking over the items that were stacked in his attic.

During all this, the goblin's attention was not on Jinhyuk.

The goblin continued to walk toward him.

The same was true for the other goblins behind the first goblin.

None of the kobolds looked directly at Jinhyuk.

"Could it be that they can't see me?"

It seemed he could see inside the maze, but those inside the maze could not see him.

Cautiously, he tried to put his hand through.

And it worked.

He felt no resistance.

He pulled his hand out and burst out laughing.

The labyrinth had monsters in it.

Kang Jinhyuk knew exactly what that meant to him.

"A dungeon... A dungeon has appeared in my attic?!"

Kang Jinhyuk closed his attic door and went into his living room.

He sat in an armchair and looked like he was deep in thought.

In any case, it is impossible to know why or how a dungeon happened to appear in his attic.

The question he was pondering now was, "How do I deal with this maze?

The most realistic and safest way was to report this matter to the Association.

But there was no way Kang Jinhyuk would do that.

Of course, according to the manual, that would be the best decision.

But this was a matter of association policy.

And it would be the worst thing for Kang Jinhyuk to consider his own interests.

"If

the association finds out the truth, I will be kicked out immediately.

Although there have always been monsters in this world, the matter of the "dungeons" was new and had never been discovered before.

If the Association learned about the dungeon, they would immediately order an investigation.

The investigation would be conducted only with the elite hunters sent by the Association, and Kang Jinhyuk, a D-rank hunter, would be denied access to the dungeon.

Kang Jinhyuk would receive few rewards in return.

"Do they think I'm crazy for just giving this away?"

Even though it is a house that he rents monthly with his salary, this place was Jinhyuk's home and the attic is also his property.

But there is a way he can stop this from happening.

Kang Jinhyuk recalled today's events with the Titans.

They didn't spare a single monster, and the people from the Association are in the same category as them.

The Association is responsible for this because they were the ones who neglected the tyranny of the great guilds.

Does he want to leave the dungeon to such people?

The very idea of it made his blood boil.

If it were possible, Kang Jinhyuk wanted the dungeon all to himself.

But for that, he had to check something first.

"Those monsters..... They can't come over here, right?"

The goblin doesn't recognize the surroundings of the attic at all.

But just because the goblin doesn't recognize it doesn't mean he can't cross over.

Kang Jinhyuk had no choice but to look with his own body.

He grabbed his baseball bat and entered the attic again.

"This will be a big problem if I can go over..."

Kang Jinhyuk's hunter rank was only D rank.

His limit was 2-3 monsters that he could attack directly.

Once his limit was reached, it would become a big problem for him if monsters came out of the attic.

"Please, please."
