Reincarnator Chapter 18 - Altar (3)

Chapter 18 – Altar (3)

“I will give you a solution”

15 from the bottom.

“What?”

“No way!”

But Hansoo shook his head.

He could guess who would win and who would lose at a glance.

And at Hansoo’s pointings, joy and sorrow were shown.

And the fifteen who weren’t chosen let out a sigh of relief because they could save runes.

“You bitch! You’re the same! How dare you throw us off because we’re weak! And those bastards over there throw lives away because a of a few runes!”

Hansoo stopped his steps.

Then Hansoo spoke as he scratched his head.

“…”

Those words were driven into everyone’s words.

That they had really entered a screwed up world.

No, it was actually much more cruel.

If you do not want to be cut off, you need to run fanatically.

That this was a world where you needed to be greedy in order to survive.

Like this situation.

“Damnit! Damnit!”

But Hansoo spoke quietly.

“What?”

The man looked at Hansoo with a expression full of hope.

“The fifteen will borrow the runes from others. Two of strength and stamina each. And then give it to me.”

“And hunt during the remaining 72 hours in order to pay the runes back to them”

Everyone nodded after pondering for a moment

Even the people who were left out were feeling a bit off because of the thoughts of throwing in fifteen people alive into that altar but if this new method were to be followed they had nothing to lose so everything was solved.

Since it wasn’t that hard to collect 2 strength and 2 stamina runes in three days.

But then one person mumbled as if he felt he was mistreated.

“…Isn’t that unfair then? 1 per person is fair”

“But the one who will be going in is you, you know? Why would the remaining 45 pay?”

The man who had spoken before shut his mouth at these words but somebody else spoke up as if he felt the greed rising up.

Hansoo nodded his head.
“I don’t have a hobby in free public service. I can’t force you to do it. This simply a suggestion I’m giving to the fifteen people. What I suggested isn’t the correct solution nor is it the perfect solution. I’m just giving a suggestion on what I think is the best solution. If you don’t think you will be within the 15 people or feel pressured by this choice, I will just come back in 3 days.”

He could probably gather up 30 runes if he hunted.

Because if Hansoo did leave, he would be thrown inside that altar.

Another person asked as soon as Hansoo finished talking.

“Wait! What happens if the ones we lend the runes to can’t muster up the courage to hunt and cannot pay back? Then we’re losing out on runes.”

They might not be able to return the rune within the next 3 days.

Hansoo replied very simply.

“…”

Since he hadn’t come to preach to them about social welfare.

Because they realized that they couldn’t laze around from now on.

Because it was solved without anybody dying in the end.

Everyone started to gather up the runes at those words.

Agility: 42.1

Mana: 22
Magic resistance: 13

Hansoo nodded whilst looking at his Strength and Stamina that had risen by exactly 30.

To be honest, even though you lose out a bit it is better to balance out your stats by trading runes around.

Hansoo knew instinctively by simply looking at the Carnivorous Monster.

He needed to get his strength over 100.

Agility and perception was lacking but he would compensate for that with his experiences and battle skills.

‘It seems I’ll use a ton of these cloud snacks’

‘But it’s good that it’s an environment where I can fight alone.’

Since in reality the hunting speed was slightly faster when he hunted with Taesoon before.

If there are others it becomes disadvantageous.

If that guy was released it would’ve been quite a headache.

When Hansoo was about to start heading towards the Altar in the distance, somebody approached him.

“Sangjin…”

Hansoo was looking at Sangjin with a impenitent expression.

Hansoo shook his head at those words.

“Isn’t it better being with us? With friends?”

“Once we part, we need to go separate ways”

Hansoo had no thoughts of cutting off their relationship because they didn’t want to follow him when he went into a dangerous place.

But you can’t become friends with somebody who is always looking for chances as they follow you and then leave because things get dangerous.

No, being stronger was actually more of a problem.

There won’t be a reason to see each other again.

Sangjin lost his determination from Hansoo’s attitude and made a dejected expression.

“I’ll stay here then.”

“That’s not a bad choice,”

Mihee had a bitter expression from Hansoo’s words which he didn’t ponder over.

‘I want to go with him but…’

The gap was growing larger as they went on.

And in the area they move to after killing that beast, it would be even harder to catch up to him.

Companions around her level.

If she followed Hansoo like this, and then becomes thrown off after the tutorial area then she will be alone.

‘And it’s better to split up now’

If she ran away while fighting because things got dangerous then their relationship will be cut off. Like the five in front of her eyes.

Hansoo just didn’t trust in opportunists, it wasn’t that he didn’t didn’t like somebody who knew when to stay out and when to stick around.
‘Though it’s a little bit regrettable’

She thought about it before for a short moment.

Since Hansoo wasn’t the type of person who would throw off his lover.

‘There is no space in Hansoo’s head for a lover to fit in’

‘Just wait. I haven’t given up yet.’

And Hansoo laughed as he watched that.
The five others might be a bit different but he could meet Mihee in the future whilst laughing.

Sangjin didn’t know how to act after watching this scene from happiness.

Mihee didn’t choose Hansoo but his side instead.

Mihee was extremely fast to catch onto things.

‘Yeah. I’m still improving. I just never had the chances to do so’

‘Park Taesoon. I must really thank you’

And in his group there were three girls even if you disregard Gangtae’s girlfriend Jisun.

This was all due to Taesoon.
The only reason why he was able to come this far was he filled the empty space after Taesoon had died.

Sunmi, who was standing behind Sangjin, watched him pathetically.

Would Mihee have not been able to distinguish between and sports car and a trash car and came here.

‘Well that’s that.’

Since Sangjin and Mihee were the strongest of the six, no, strongest of the mob.

And the four of them were also part of the strongest if you don’t count in Hansoo.

And even more so since Mihee probably learned a lot of things from Hansoo.

Whilst Sunmi was making such thoughts, Sangjin was watching Hansoo and not Mihee.

Sangjin made a regrettable expression as he saw Hansoo’s back as he walked towards the altar.

Shouldn’t he at least try to do something together.

‘Something… I have to show him something more’

Since he wasn’t a beauty like Mihee so he needed to show something more to Hansoo. A deciding factor.

But then at that moment somebody called Sangjin.

‘…Who could it be.’

‘These people are…’

The ones who represented the strong, and the real top rankers if you don’t count for him and his friends.

“I’m called Suyeol. You’re the leader of those friends over there right?”

Sangjin’s face blushed for a moment from the words of the thirty-something man, he then answered shyly.

“Oh. Nice”

Suyeol chuckled at Sangjin acting like that and then continued his words.

Sangjin pondered for a moment and then nodded.

‘We’re friends. Yeah friends.’

“Yeah? Then I have something a proposal for you, shall we talk for a bit?”

Sangjin pondered for a moment but then followed him shortly after nodding his head.
