Chapter 1

“… Hyung, are you okay?”

That guy said . His side was ripped open and his guts were spilling out, and he was asking if I was ok .

He was on the verge of death yet his face was only a little pale . His calm look annoyed me . I sat on the floor and looked up at my brother without saying anything .

He was always interfering with my work . He was better than the dirty me, so people had always told me to stay put and behave, to not hold onto his thigh . They weren’t wrong to say that because eventually I had broken this big and reliable thigh .

However .

“……Why are you here?”

A blunt voice came out of my mouth on this old subject .

Why did you come to such a shit place for someone you don’t even know?

We were anything but close . If we ever ran into each other, there would only be a cold breeze . When my leg bones had been shattered, he did not come to the hospital to see me even once . When I went to him to request for help to fix my broken leg, he coldly turned me down and had me dragged out . That day, after being kicked out I was forced to take the money he gave me . I have never talked to him ever since .

He laughed bitterly at my question .

“Why are you here, fuck . ”

Even though I thought he was the type of person who would bite the hand that feeds, a curse still emerged from my mouth . He had a lot of expectations on his shoulders but he still gave his life to save a useless family member . Crazy son of a bitch .

Since when were we that friendly? If you’re dead and on the news, damn it, I’ll just swear a few times and then forget about it .

But what did you do?

I was angry . I was angry and irritated by my patheticness, not him .

Yes, I’ve always been an ugly older brother . Even in this situation, I’m still a person with a garbage brain filled with complaints and an inferiority complex .

So just let me die in a corner of a Dungeon! Why did you come?!

“Listen to me, hyung . ”

That guy said, avoiding my question .

“Lauchitas falls asleep within five-hour cycles . If you hide for an hour, it will eventually go to sleep . Then you just have to get out through the entrance . I’ve taken care of all the lesser monsters so as long as you do not touch Lauchitas, you will be safe . ”

He then held out a small blue stone to me . It was a gatestone that provided a way out of a closed dungeon . It can only be used near the entrance and is a very valuable item that could only be used one time by one person .

I did not take the gatestone and pretended to be uncaring .

“Good for you . Now use it . ”

He laughed at my words .

“I’ve got mine . I won’t use this . ”

…Now that you’re one of the best Hunters in Korea, you’re carrying several of those precious gatestones . I reluctantly accepted the gatestone .

It was only then that he took his eyes off me and looked at his wounds . Without the strength of his skills, he would have long collapsed and died .

“……You have gatestones, do you have anything like elixirs?”

“No, I don’t . I have a small potion, but I don’t think that’s going to work . Lauchitas has a powerful curse on its claws . ”

He laughed again . I didn’t know how to laugh with him .

But that kind of calmness soon reached its limit . His knees bent and his body fell forward . I reflexively caught the upper half of his body .

The smell of blood that I hadn’t felt so far stung my nose . It was awful .

I thought I got used to the smell of blood as I walked around the dungeon but it brought me to my knees . I felt sick .

I was tempted to throw away the body in my arms and flee .

“……hey . ”

I could hardly hear the sound of breathing .

There was no answer .

I couldn’t laugh .

“……are you dead?”

My voice was shaking . It’s none of my business whether this asshole dies or not .

“Han Yuhyun . Are you dead?”

Damn, this stupid son of a bitch . I’d be damned if I survived by myself . I’m sure that there were a lot of guys who would want to burn the scumbag who killed his younger brother .

“You’re going to screw with me to the end?”

I muttered in vain .

Up to this day, he’s been interrupting me in everything I do . It is now time to hide . Dirty to the end, really .

[Effect of ‘Caregiver’ title has been activated .

Caregiver’s Additional Skill — Final Reward

The skills and abilities of Awakened ‘Han Yuhyun’ have been transferred with twice the efficiency .

Duration — 01:00]

A notice popped up, confirming his death . As one of the Additional Skills of my title, when a target who had been given the growth buff died, the target’s skills and abilities can be transferred for one hour

It also doubled in power .

As his power filled my body, some of his memories were also passed on .

‘My brother is an F-Level Awakener . ”

This son of a bitch even to the end—

‘So he cannot be involved with me . ’

Yuhyun was talking to someone . He seemed a little sad .

‘It’s already damaged, but in the future we need to be even more distant . Because Awakeners who qualified to become Hunters are not protected by the law . ’

‘If my brother becomes my weakness, they will no doubt go after him . ’

…who the hell are they?

‘Damn it, dispose of all of those bastards!’

It was when my leg had been broken . He was angry . And then he was sad again .

‘No . Tell him… healing is not possible . It would be better for him . I kicked him out… But he’s still my brother, I cannot help but help him……’

‘Hyung, I’m sorry . ’

‘Sorry…’

‘Please don’t go into the dungeon . ’

‘Hyung . ’

My brother’s memory tightened my throat . The entire area was silent, but the sound of “hyung” still hurt my ears . The body was cold and stiff .

I was going crazy .

As expected, this fellow had covered for me until the very end . What are you protecting me for? The older brother is me . I had lost my parents at an early age, dropped out of school, and took care of my younger brother, raising him .

“Damn him! Did he think I was going to regret this?”

It’s your fault that you didn’t say a word .

I carefully laid my younger brother’s body onto the floor . His face looked relaxed . If I leave alone, it would be the same as when I came in .

“I’m not going to cry . ”

Until the end, that selfish guy just did whatever he wanted; why would I cry for him? It was a waste of tears .

I got up . When I looked at the status window, I saw the increased number of skills . They were all top quality, even the double buffs .

Laughter broke out .

Just one hour . For just an hour, I had become the strongest person in the world at the cost of my younger brother’s life .

“Damn it, what can you do with only one hour?”

It would be better for Han Yuhyun to be live longer for 40 or 50 more years . Even if Yuhyun became a grandfather, he would still be a lot stronger than me . How could it be compared to this one-time, one-hour presentation?

“Stupid bastard . That stupid fucking bastard . ”

My brother’s stupidity brought tears to my eyes . The title of ‘genius’ was a waste on him . He was the world’s biggest fool .

“Gigant Shield . ”

As soon as I used the skill, a faint golden light wrapped around my body . Originally, it was a shield that couldn’t stop Lauchitas’ claws, but now that it received the double buffs, I would survive even if I was bitten by the creature itself .

This, is all yours . So I am going to avenge you .

I walked slowly out of a gap in the wall where I was hiding . I could see a giant monster lurking at the far end of the wide corridor .

Lauchitas . Grade 1 polyp . The Dragon King of Poison and Curse . It had only appeared twice so far and both times were deemed as a non-combatant because its Dungeon door was closed .

The red dragon with three heads was looking at me . Among the three heads, the middle one’s eyes had been burnt out . The Lauchitas was very resilient, but it seemed that even it could not recover in such a short period of time from the injuries caused by Yuhyun’s blood .

Yeah, my younger brother’s great . Now I have double the abilities of that great younger brother

Fuck . You’re dead .
