《Return of the Legendary Hunter》Chapter 32: Wuma (1)
Advertisement
The next day, Woojin told his family that he had work in the afternoon and checked his sister's clothing size and left. He then went to Old Hwang.
"You're here. We would've gone to eat if you called and told me that you were coming."
"It's okay. Did it go well yesterday?"
Hwang sighed, "Many of our kids got hurt. They had amazing weapons."
Woojin knew what kind of man Hwang was and there was no way he would lose. He might have taken damage, but he probably profited a lot by taking their weapon stash.
"Well, it's a problem I have to solve to keep this industry alive."
Woojin asked with a smile, "Can you make a particular armor if I provide the leather?"
"Of course. Huh?"
Hwang's eyes became large as he looked at Woojin.
"Is-is that Hydra leather armor?"
"Yeah."
"What! You purchased it without going through me?!"
"No. I looted it."
Hwang almost burst into anger but calmed down.
"That's a fat loot."
"Anyway. Please take a look at this."
Woojin took out the Hydra leather armor that had a hole in it. He first thought of selling it but changed his mind to make armor for his sister.
"Huh? Who punctured this expensive armor?"
Hwang shouted angrily and then turned serious.
"No. HOW did you puncture this?"
Hwang knew how durable Hydra leather was. It was natural for him to be surprised.
"Can you make this to a girl's size?"
Hwang frowned and answered, "As you know, there aren't many who can work on Hydra leather. It will be costly."
Woojin then took out a glove. Hwang quickly snatched the glove and examined it.
"No damage. Clean. 200 million."
"Will that be enough to pay for the leatherwork?"
Hwang nodded.
"It will do. Do you just need it downsized?"
"If it can look fashionable while wearing it, that will be better. A high school girl will wear it."
Hwang frowned again.
"A high school girl wearing building-priced clothes? Are you out of your mind?"

"It's my sister."
Hwang flinched and answered, "Oh, of course. This will be the safest type of clothes she'll get. She'll even survive a car crash if she doesn't injure her head. I'll have it worked on. What design do you want? Gucci? Burberry?"
"Can you do that? Isn't it illegal?"
"Doesn't matter. They can't work on this stuff anyway. It won't have their brands."
"Of course."
Woojin then brought up a pair of pants.
"This one too."
"I'll have to cut a lot of leather. What should I do with leftovers?"
"Make a leather bracelet. Four of them."
"And if there's still leftovers?"
"You can have it."
"Heh. Sure."
Woojin then began putting up the gear that he was going to sell.
"And I'll sell all of these."
"Great! You sure know how to make a deal."
Hwang narrowed his eyes and looked down at the armor. They all had the same puncture holes in some places. It was proof that Woojin had a weapon that could penetrate Hydra leather. It was hard to imagine how much value the weapon might hold.
"Hmm. I'll have to dismantle it and use it as a vest or an armguard… I can't give you the full price."
"How much will it be?"
Hwang tapped on a calculator and spoke.
"Four damaged tops. I can only get you 3 billion per piece. Five pants are okay, so I can get you 4 billion."
That was good enough for damaged leather armor.
"Let's see. So you have a balance of 36 billion including the previous balance."
Hwang turned to Woojin and asked, "Do you want it in cash?"
"I can't carry all that cash. Make a Swiss bank account and give me a card."
"I'll need 5% as a processing fee."
"I know."
"Good. That will be 34.2 billion but I'll make it 34.5 billion. It will take three days to open the account."
"And the clothes?"
"That will take about 2 weeks. You know why, don't you?"

"Of course."
"Goodbye then."
Woojin walked out and Hwang touched his chin while looking down at the Hydra leather. No one could get their hands on this type of leather even with money. It was good that he had it.
"Hehe. I knew he was a man."
Hwang whistled as he rummaged through the Hydra leather.
Woojin also visited Doctor Ahn. He was more sullen and worn out, but his eyes seemed to be glistening with excitement.
"I've been making progress but I need more time."
"I'm not here for the Avatar Project."
"Oh? Then I'm all ears."
Doctor Ahn poured the tea for Woojin. He took a sip and asked, "Are you eating well?"
"Brunhilde is taking good care of me. I just forget to eat sometimes."
Woojin nodded.
"Yeah, but you should watch out. No one can succeed in the project other than you."
"I will do."
Doctor Ahn nodded also and sipped on the hot tea.
"So, what do you need?"
"Spiritual power sensor. Did you make it?"
Doctor Ahn nodded.
"Do you want a prototype? It will fit in a car trunk."
"Can you make it smaller? Like the size of a wristwatch?"
"Huh?"
Doctor Ahn looked at Woojin with a weird expression. The sensor was made to find monsters or Avatars that had gone rampant. It was made for hunters who hunted in groups. Making it smaller was going to be more expensive.
"I can do it, but do you need it to be that small? It will increase its price ten times more."
"So, you can make it?"
"Of course."
"Then can you make it?"
"It will cost 3 billion per piece."
"I will pay 6 billion."
It was hard to refuse when Woojin spoke so easily. This wasn't a request from the Hunters Guild so Doctor Ahn just needed the cost for the materials.
"Hmmm. Okay. I'll work on it."
"How long will it take?"
"I can have it done by tomorrow."
He had planned it but the cost was too much for it to make sense.
"I'll come back tomorrow then."
"Yeah. I'll see you tomorrow."
Doctor Ahn sipped on the tea. It was good that he had walked closer to his dream by meeting with Woojin and now he was getting extra money from a side job. Brunhilde returned from taking Woojin out and saw that Doctor Ahn seemed to be pleased.
"You look happy."
"He makes me smile each time."
"You should still eat, Doctor."
"Yeah. Let's eat lunch."
Brunhilde also smiled.
Woojin first thanked Beom at the café in front of Eunseo's high school.
"Thanks."
"You don't need to thank a friend."
"Yeah, but don't even think about making out with my sister."
Beom laughed and Woojin brought up a small box.
"Is it a gift?"
"Yeah. Open it."
Beom then opened the box and became confused.
"A wristwatch?"
Beom raised his wrist. He had a Patek Philippe watch. Beom smiled while flashing his expensive piece but Woojin showed the watch on his wrist. It was the same one that he had given to Beom.
"WHAT! You told me not to mess with your sister and now you want to make out with me?"
Woojin shook his head and sighed.
"No. It's a tool, not a watch. Besides, it's much more expensive than your damn watch."
"Hey. This thing costs 100 million."
"And that watch is 3 billion."
Stupefied, Beom looked down at the watch again. It was hard to believe that this normal-looking watch was that expensive.
"It's a spiritual power sensor."
"What?"
"You see that small watch inside? One shows distance and one shows direction. If there's a new spiritual being around, it turns. It excludes the wearer of course."
Beom became intrigued. The watch was pointing at him since he wasn't wearing it. He then took off the watch on his wrist and gave it to Woojin.
"Then this is a gift from me."
"Are you giving me a used watch?"
"It's a watch that contains the Dokkebi's fortune. It will give you good luck."
Woojin received the watch. The effect of Dokkebi's fortune changed one's luck from stepping on dung into picking up money. It had a limit but it was still good.
He needed to have the spiritual power sensor on his wrist, so he decided to give it to his father.
"Do you have the authentication for this?"
Beom laughed at Woojin's words.
"I'll send the case and authentication to your hotel tomorrow."
"Sure."

Rise for the Sky [Slow-Pace Multi-Lead Dungeon Crawler]
Sixty people have awoken at the bottom of a one hundred floor dungeon. Together they must confront the terror of monsters and seek the answers to why they are here. Expectations: This story is written from multiple perspectives, male and female.

This a realistic take on the classic litRPG and iskai tropes written like a traditional novel. There is a profanity warning because I wish to be natural with how people talk and cursing is a thing people do. So it will happen where it makes sense. Gore is warned because this is a realistic take, and people will be torn apart by monsters. I don't plan to be overly detailed with it but be warned it will happen. Updates Every Monday. Chapters will be between 3,000 to 5,000 words. Fulfill Patreon goals to increase updates

The Court of Souls?
Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it, or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur) ——————————————————————————————— Reading Order of the Multiverse-Books ——————————————————————————————— What do we talk about tonight? ~“How about a story?”~ Fine by me. Which story? Hopefully a good one. ~“There was once a lonely child in a world filled with myths, gods and demons. Only power counted there and the weak were worse than cattle. A world where survival of the fittest ruled.”~ Was it strong then? ~“No, but the child had a power. One that made him stand between light and darkness. Nothing could escape him, so he was shunned by his people.”~ What did he do? Did he fight his fate? Did he hide his power? What was it? ~“Oh, he fought. He fought a lot. And no thing could escape his power. It was something that everyone had to live with.”~ So he became a hero and changed the world? ~“…”~ Tell me. ~“Nooo, that's not how the story goes. This isn't a story of a noble man, doing good amidst a sea of monsters. This is a story of a demon who was... kinder than the rest.”~ A kind demon? How boring. ~“I think it would be better if I tell the story, so you can judge for yourself.”~ So tell the story!

A great evil has began to stir, and it takes the most unlikeliest of forms. Forcing the powerful Gods of the world to summon heroes from another world, in a desperate bid to prepare for an evil like none other. But is this the truth? As the Gods themselves are the embodiment of a set of beliefs, ideals and raw emotion. One individual named Benedict, with nothing truly special about him save for his seemingly dour nature, is forced to flee from his former allies. Thrown outside the halls he was summoned to, and into a large world he could not properly comprehend. Armed with only his desire to survive, he must now find a way to simply live. -Greetings! This is my first story to ever be posted. As I am an amateur writer, there shall be mistakes. More so with the fact that English is not my first language. This story is a re-write, and its original version was a request by a dear friend of mine. Though hopefully this version would be far better.. As the original version was a very cringe worthy thing. Many thanks to certain friends that have convinced me to post this. I shall do my best to at least update frequently, without sacrificing the.. quality of chapters. Tags will be added as the story goes on. || Disclaimer: Much of the chapters before Chapter Twelve are of poorer quality in terms of Grammar. So do forgive me for them, by Chapter Twelve and beyond however, the quality of the chapters should have had improved. I'm hopefully gonna fix most of the earlier chapters when I hit Chapter Twenty or Thirty.
