[Zombie Level 1 +100 Coins]
I paused for a moment to catch my breath. When the gate opened again, I walked back into Smoky Hollow. Of course, even though I was a little tired, I didn't care because it was all about the money. Hunting like this is the only way I can make a lot of money. Even if I worked all my life, I'd never earn it.
I looked to my left, and the zombies were coming closer again. Still holding the hammer in my right hand, I ran towards them. I thought the sooner this was over, the better.
I swung the hammer at the group of zombies, and they easily disappeared.
[Zombie Level 1 +100 Coins]
[Zombie Level 1 +100 Coins]
"Ah...!" My hammer came loose, and something hit my right shoulder hard. I turned my head to see a zombie biting me. I pressed his head with my left hand to release the bite. I held my breath, not expecting it to smell like garbage when I sniffed it from the front.
[HP -1]
[HP -1]
[HP -1]
"Shit!" My HP was dropping by the moment because of the bite. I squeezed my hand even harder to keep the zombie's head away from my shoulder. "Oh no!" Though their path was slow, one thing was certain, the zombies were now coming at me in droves.
"Newt. Why does my HP keep dropping?"
[You have a physical injury, of course your HP will continue to decrease, Master].
"Argh...! How did it get loose? The bite is so tight."
I hit the zombie's head to make it release the bite. After a while, the bite finally loosened. I wasted no time in picking up the hammer that had fallen earlier. I then struck the zombie that had bitten me with the hammer. In less than a second, the zombie vanished into ashes.
[Zombie Level 1 +100 coins].
I felt satisfied that I was able to destroy it. It was the first zombie that could hurt me.
I felt a pain in my shoulder from the bite mark, but I ignored it. With a burning grudge after a zombie bit me, I walked towards the horde with my back straight. I winced several times as the pain kept coming.
[HP -5]
"Why is my HP getting lower and lower, Newt?" I felt my vision become blurred until I closed my eyes several times, trying to regain my fading consciousness.
[Your wounds are festering, Master, so your HP is dropping rapidly].
My legs were getting weaker, my breathing was getting harder, and my head was getting heavier.
Rotting?"Am I going to die, Newt?" I asked with what little energy I had left. I couldn't even kick properly. My body felt weak, so I stopped. I felt cold sweat pouring from my body.
I bent my back to ninety degrees, trying to overcome the dizziness I was feeling. It's something I often do when I get tired at work. I tried to breathe as my chest felt tight.
[Name: Leon Durand]
[Gender: Male]
[Age: 28 years old]
[Skill: -]
[HP: 10/100]
[MP: -]
[XP: 15/100].
I activated the holographic screen to see my current status, and unfortunately, my HP was only 10. I frowned as another warning suddenly appeared on the screen.
[HEAL 10,000 Coins]
[YES] [NO]
[HP RESTORED: 100/HP]
[ENTER AMOUNT OF HP]
[ ]
I looked at my balance, 307,900 coins. Without thinking, I pressed the 'YES' button and entered 50 to restore my HP.
Something seemed to straighten my back and lift it slightly. I felt something warm enter my bloodstream and radiate throughout my body. I could even see a white light enveloping my body.
It only took a few seconds for the sensation to dissipate and the pain and tightness I had been feeling to disappear completely. I looked back at my status.
[Name: Leon Durand]
[Gender: Male]
[Age: 28 years old]
[Skill: -]
[HP: 55/100]
[MP: -]
[XP: 17/100]
"Why do I have to pay so much for my healing, Newt?" I tried to protest to Newt. Even though I only got a few coins from the hunt this time, I had to pay so much for my healing.
[You should be more careful, Master. Nothing is free in this world. Everything comes with a risk.]
"Argh... damn it! Your answer didn't help me at all."
I picked up the fallen hammer again and ran towards the zombies to complete the mission in this session. I had to be careful not to let the same thing happen again. Even though they looked very weak, their bite could almost kill me and cost me a lot of money. Imagine 10,000 coins, which is US$10,000,000.
Feeling annoyed and angry, I hit them one by one. As usual, they disappeared immediately with just one punch. It was so easy that I was so careless that one of them bit me.
"Damn zombie. Take my vengeance!" I was so excited this time. Even though I only had a few hunts left.
"Why isn't it dead yet?" I had already hit the zombie three times, but it wasn't dead yet.
"Why is it like this, Newt? Is this hammer's power diminishing?"
[A level 2 zombie with five times the power of a level 1 zombie.]
Right after Newt finished his sentence and I hit it five times, the zombie disappeared.
[Zombie Level 2 +500 Coins]
"Not too bad." Although it was harder to hunt, it was also more rewarding.
Something caught my attention. I frowned as a light the size of a tennis ball appeared after the zombie was exterminated.
"What is that?"
[It's a form of one of the random rewards you get].
I hesitantly touched the light, and just as my hand touched it, it disappeared.[OBSERVATION SKILL LEVEL 1 HAS BEEN OBTAINED]
My heart felt like it had been stabbed for a split second, but it was fine afterwards. Perhaps that was the process of the skill entering my body.
"Level 1 observation skill?" My forehead frowned as I tried to understand the skill I had just acquired.
[You can use it to observe your opponent, Master].
Still feeling confused, I tried it by looking at the group of zombies coming towards me.
[ZOMBIE LEVEL 1]
[ZOMBIE LEVEL 1]
The writing suddenly appeared above their heads. With this skill, I could see their level. Most of them were level 1 zombies, and only a few were level 2.
"Will I get another reward if I kill level 2 zombies?
[The reward is given randomly. There is no guarantee that you will get more, even if you kill a level 2 zombie."]
I nodded, understanding Newt's explanation. So I don't know when I'll get it again. To save what little HP I have left, it's safer to hunt level 1 zombies.
"How many should I hunt, Newt?"
[Five, Master]
I nodded and then ran towards the group of zombies that I had confirmed were all level 1. After killing five zombies, the gates to Smoky Hollow reopened. Not wanting to be late, I immediately ran towards them and entered.
A split second later, I was back in my room. I looked around, still unfamiliar with my new room, which was so spacious. It's even bigger than the house I shared with Sofia.
I entered Smoky Hollow from my room. When the gate opens, Newt will tell me, and he will open the gate near me. I remembered that the gate opened at around 2pm. I hadn't slept on purpose because I was so excited about this hunt.
"Then tomorrow the gate will open around 10 am." I felt the excitement in my life again. I wanted to get some rest before I started hunting again.
I looked at the window. It looked as if the window hadn't been closed yet, for the curtains were moving like the wind. I lifted the curtain so that I could close the window. But when I looked down, I saw a white light suddenly shoot out of nowhere.
"What is it, Newt?"
[What, Master?]
Newt seemed confused by my question. Maybe I saw it wrong because I was too tired.
"It's nothing." I ignored him and went to the bathroom to clean up. As I took off my clothes, I looked at my zombie-bitten shoulder through the large glass in front of me.
"Totally clean and squeaky clean," I murmured softly. "Totally worth the money I had to spend."
I chuckled a little. Money wasn't a problem for me anymore. I could easily make money. After all, I was now the owner of a large company.

[You are very handsome, Master.]I lifted the corner of my lips as Newt complimented me. I was standing in front of a large mirror in my walk-in closet. I never thought I would have a separate room to store my clothes and accessories. Shirts, suits, shoes, watches, and ties, all famous brands and expensive. All these things have been in this house from the first time."I've always been good-looking, Newt." I'm not lying. Even Sofia is crazy about my looks.After making sure my appearance was perfect, I went downstairs for breakfast. There are several types of dishes on the dining table. I frowned. Who's going to eat all this food? Are rich people always like this? How wasteful."Hello, my name is Fredy, Mr. Durand. I am the chef who will be cooking for you."I smiled awkwardly. This life is new to me. I even cooked for myself all the time because Sofia didn't want to cook. But now it's different; a chef is cooking for me.I didn't want Fredy to see my embarrassment. I cleared my thro
Hunting For Money System Chapter 7 Abyss of death
"Newt, how do I get out of this place?" I stared in horror downward. I was still keeping my balance to avoid falling down. As I shifted my feet, small stones shifted and fell down. I didn't dare to imagine the height of this place, I couldn't even hear the sound of falling rocks. I'm sure that there's no bottom down there.[Calm down, Master. You must not panic. Once you lose your balance, I'm not sure where you'll land.]I let out a long breath. Newt's answer didn't help at all. While I was thinking, I heard strange noises. They sounded like crows cawing at each other—more like fighting. I knew this after seeing two giant birds pecking at each other and advancing their wings, as if they were fighting. The two birds were not far from where I was standing now, and were getting closer and closer.My eyes widened when suddenly the two birds were in front of me."Woaaa...!" I screamed as suddenly one of the bird's wings fluttered and hit my body, causing me to bounce. But fortunately, my
Hunting For Money System Chapter 8 Happy Spirit Pendant
I took a long breath. I crossed my legs and folded my hands across my chest. All my muscles felt weak as I remembered what had happened to me. Moments ago, I had been forced to swallow something the mother bird had given me. I had refused and looked away, but the mother bird's gaze made me swallow what she gave me. Her look seemed to say, 'If you don't eat this, I will eat you. Could it be that the brood birds saw me as one of her children? Fortunately, what the brood birds gave me was a sour tasting fruit and not a disgusting, wriggling animal.I let out another long sigh. I was trapped in this bird's nest with nowhere to go. I looked down, and this place was no higher than where I had landed earlier. I couldn't see what was below either, because the white smoke was blocking my eyes again. "Newt, where are you?" I whispered, looking for Newt. But I got no answer again. It looks like he really did run away. [Master, Master...!] I pricked up my ears, as if a voice were echoing in

I lifted my head. I landed on my stomach. But strangely, I didn't feel any pain at all, like someone who had just fallen from a great height. I slowly opened my eyes and found myself in the same place I had landed when I first entered Smoky Hollow. My right hand was still closed, holding the pendant I had just received.I didn't even feel any pain in my body. I slowly stood up and scanned my body. There were no wounds. Could it be that I had died and was now in heaven? But is it possible for me to enter Heaven, considering I never worshipped?[You are still alive, Master.]I tiptoed as I heard Newt's voice in my head. I was so shocked that I forgot there was a system inside me."Logically, my body would be destroyed if I fell from that height. But why...?" I didn't have time to finish my question because I saw a bunch of zombies coming towards me.I unconsciously lifted the corners of my lips, feeling happy that I would get money and that I could get out of this place soon. It seemed

"Kwak... kwak...!" I seemed to hear the voice of the bird that had brought me here earlier. I looked up, and my suspicion was right. It was the bird. "Kwak... kwak...!"The bird continued to make sounds as it flew in circles above me. I felt my hand light up and looked at the zombie in front of me. The zombie let go of my hand and was busy covering its ears. I looked around, and all the zombies were doing the same thing, and they looked in pain.I didn't have time to think about what was happening. I quickly turned my body around and walked into the almost closed gate.A few seconds later, I had landed somewhere on my stomach. It looks like I need to learn how to land so I can land in a better position.I stood up and looked around. This wasn't my room. This place was so dark and damp. I shook my hand as the dust made my nose itch. I guessed that this was probably a storeroom or an unused room.I saw a light coming through the vent above the door. I walked towards it. I kicked a few t

"Sir! Sir!"I seemed to hear Olivia's voice, and I also felt something slap my cheek a couple of times."Sir!"I groaned as my eyes opened, I was in shock for a moment as I saw Olivia standing in front of me. I became more and more confused by what I was experiencing. A while ago, I had woken up in an unknown place, but a moment later, I was somewhere else."Sir, what's going on? Why do you look so confused?" asked Olivia, who also had a confused look on her face."Where am I?"I saw Olivia's forehead crease. "Aren't you in your room?" The girl looked even more puzzled.I turned my head from side to side. That's right, this is my office. And I was lying on the sofa. I looked down at my hands and my body."You fainted, and I asked security to put you on the sofa.""Fainted?" I was shocked at Olivia's explanation. Could it have been a dream?"Yes. I woke you up because you seemed to be having a nightmare. You kept mentioning Newt and calling him a bastard. Is he someone you hate?"I sta

What did she say? That's my son?My steps stopped, and I turned. I saw a smile on Sofia's lips. The cuffs on her hands came off so she could move closer to me.When we were very close, Sofia took my hand and put it on her belly. "I'm pregnant, Leon. I'm one month pregnant. This is what you were hoping for, isn't it? We'll be a happy little family."I gaped at Sofia's words. It had always been my wish to have a child. But I never forced it on Sofia because I didn't want her to be depressed by my wishes. Yesterday morning, I still had that hope, but not now."You must be happy, my love, to be so surprised?" Her face lit up, looking so happy. It was the same face she used to show me that made me fall in love with her before I knew she was sharing her body with another man.I was so shocked by my ex-wife's statement that I couldn't say anything. But when I remembered what I had seen with my own eyes, I began to doubt that it was my child. I immediately withdrew my hand violently, disguste

[Intelligence +5][COINS +5]My brow furrowed as I saw what was in front of me. I was learning about the company, and suddenly I saw a message saying that my intelligence and coins had increased.Yesterday, I didn't receive such a notification, but suddenly, an intelligence score appeared that wasn't there before. Was this because my observation skill had reached level 2, so I could see the increase?I just shrugged. I should start getting used to all these strange and sudden things. I focused on the file in front of me. It was still evening and only the light of the reading lamp on the desk kept me company.I had decided not to go to Smoky Hollow tonight because I wanted to rest. But I still couldn't fall asleep and ended up reading some files that Olivia had given me to study.Running a company is not easy. There are so many things you need to know. Whether it's the history of the company or the board of directors,. I also have to know about different subsidiaries that operate in di

After that day, I couldn't see Olivia anymore and Tarron could truly dominate all the territories. Me and some other Hunters hid while making plans. The whole world was already in Tarron's hands. He turned other humans into slaves and also as experimental objects.We always moved around because the Black Hunter was still after us. For several months, I was devastated after Olivia's departure. What about our child in her womb? Did Olivia still keep it or had she already taken its life?I rubbed my face in frustration as memories of our last meeting flashed through my mind. Despite her continuous attacks on me, my inner self always told me that she did it for a reason."When will you return to being the old Leon?" I turned and found Eren standing not far from me. His hands were folded in front of him, and he looked at me with disappointment. "We need our leader, Leon. Stop thinking about Olivia. She has left you!"I could see the despair in his face. It had been more than 3 months since

I've been in this state for a long time. Just silent, staring blankly ahead. I woke up a while ago, shirtless, with a potion placed on the spot where I was stabbed. When I sat up and the potion fell, the wound on my chest was gone.“Leon! Thank goodness!” I turned towards the door. Eren and Jovian entered, immediately showing relieved expressions. “Your wound is healed?” Eren’s brow furrowed. “It seems your hunter abilities have returned.”I just remained silent and didn't respond to Eren's words. I was still in shock, knowing the truth that Olivia tried to kill me. I couldn't even find a reason why she would do this to me.Eren came closer, a look of awkwardness on his face. “We've been looking for Olivia, but we haven't found her.” He looked very regretful, as if he had made a big mistake. I didn't answer immediately and just stared at him with feelings that were hard to interpret.I had no intention of doing anything. I even lost my will to live now. The person I loved and trusted

I entered the building where you've been living all this time. I was so worried about Olivia and our child in her belly. But the place was so quiet when I entered.“Olivia! Eren! Jovian!” I searched for them all over the room, even in hidden places, but I couldn't find them.I stood still and tried to concentrate to feel their energy. But I couldn't sense it. I tried to use my telepathic skills. But after a while, no one answered my call.I looked around with a sense of unease. What had happened here while I was gone? I started looking for clues and traces left behind.This place was in disarray, as if a battle had just taken place. From some footprints below, I saw many shoe prints on the floor. I was sure that not just one or two people had come in, but a whole force. My brow furrowed when I saw the bloodstains on the floor. My heart raced when I saw the blood. There were many speculations in my head about whose blood it was.I crouched to examine the blood. It was still sticky and

"Newt! Use the Happy Spirit Pendant!" At the last moment, I want to try using the pendant I got from Bbird earlier. I was desperate, and it seemed like I was hoping for some luck at this moment.[USING HAPPY SPIRIT PENDANT][CONTINUE?][YES] [NO]Without hesitation, I pressed the 'yes' button. I waited for a moment, but nothing happened. Suddenly, I felt my nose itching, as if I was about to..."Achoo...!" After sneezing, I felt my body slowly shrinking back."What's happening?" I was confused because the effect of the dark elixir suddenly disappeared, and I returned to my original size. "Could it be that the Happy Spirit Pendant doesn't work?""Darn it!" This is not a luck potion but a misfortune potion. With this tiny size, how could I possibly defeat the zombie king? "No!" I shook my head. "I have to stay happy even if I die at the hands of the zombie king."Initially, I felt annoyed, but afterwards, I felt happy as if there was a great reward waiting for me ahead. My heart felt li

I gasped, staring at the horde of zombies before me. Every time I wiped out one group, another would appear from the other side. I couldn't tell how long I'd been in this room—just constantly hunting, endlessly, it seemed."Only one weapon left to unlock." I glanced at the transparent screen in front of me, focusing on the amount of coins I had. Over 12 million coins, and I'd already maxed out all the weapons I had. "Special Item." I read on the corner, the words stretching and catching my attention.I flinched as a few zombies suddenly floated around me. I quickly shut down the holographic screen in front of me and swung my sword at them. But they dodged quickly.I traded my sword for an arrow. I aimed five arrows simultaneously at them. The arrows sped forward, hitting three of them. I repeated the process again and again.[SHADOW CLOAK UNLOCKED][Can absorb energy from low-level creatures.

I flinched as my body seemed to be sucked in by something. The scenery before me changed again. I turned my head and found Eliot beside me. I had returned from diving into Eliot's memories. I regulated my laboured breathing, as if from a long journey."That was the end of my life." Eliot broke the silence that had lasted for a while."But how could you die? Shouldn't a hunter's body have the ability to heal itself? And I thought your death seemed very easy."Eliot cleared his throat lightly. "The sword Tarron used to stab me in the heart wasn't just any ordinary sword.""Wasn't that your sword?" I saw clearly when Tarron took Eliot's sword and stabbed him in the chest.Eliot nodded. "It's the Soul Reaper. The sword I got after defeating the zombie king.""Zombie king?" This was the first time I'd heard about a zombie king. I often hunted zombies, but I'd never heard of him."If your hunt is perfect, you can face him. But the reward for that isn't the same. If you defeat him, you might

"Eliot." I walked towards the river, where a man with long white hair stood in the middle. His feet floated above the water as if his weight was no issue.I was a little startled to be here suddenly. This was one of the places in Smoky Hollow that I often visited. As I recall, I was resting under a large tree. How could I be here all of a sudden?I hesitated as my feet were about to step into the water. However, the hesitation disappeared when I felt something holding my feet from below. With confident strides, I walked closer to Eliot. I stopped when I was right behind him."Come forward! I've been waiting for you." I was surprised because it seemed my presence was expected by him. I stepped forward to be level with him. As I turned, I could see his handsome face with skin as white as snow. Thinking back, this was the first time I could see Eliot's face up close. I wasn't sure if this was a dream or reality, but I could feel a very strong energy."I've been waiting for this moment t

POV 3"Have you found Leon?" Tarron sat arrogantly in a chair, his back against the backrest, one leg crossed over the other, and his interlocked hands resting on his chest."Not yet, sir." Tarron's sharp gaze pierced Ian, who dared not lift his head. He had deliberately spared Ian's life back then, knowing they were both enemies. He wanted to use Ian to destroy Leon. Now, Ian was one of his trusted men, alongside Rakkan. Fuelled by his vengeance against Leon, Ian learned quickly, acquiring special abilities.After 1000 years of researching the system, Tarron had managed to cheat it. He could add others to become hunters. Since they weren't official hunters, they didn't have companions. Still, they could earn coins and skills like other hunters.Hearing Ian's answer, Tarron's gaze sharpened, his displeasure evident. Knowing Tarron was staring at him unblinking, Ian lowered his head further, his eyes fixed on the tip of his shoes, like a boy who had been caught doing something wrong."

Point of View 3Tarron descended the moss-covered stone steps leading to an underground chamber, with Ian following closely behind. The air grew colder as they descended further down. The atmosphere was denser than on the surface.Once Tarron's feet reached the bottom, he halted. His eyes immediately focused on an old man inside a giant aquarium. Upon seeing Tarron, the old man, named Calatius, shot him a glare filled with hatred.“Why do you never seem pleased to see me, Calatius?” With a mocking expression, Tarron questioned the man, moving closer until they were only a few metres apart.From where Tarron stood, the creature Calatius was clearly visible. He was a centaur, but all his legs had been severed. His crippled body lay upon a large rock."Why have you come to see me, Tarron? Haven't you taken all my strength?" Despite appearing elderly, Calatius's voice still carried a powerful tone. Even the glass of the aquarium vibrated from his voice."You never change. Yet, that is in
