I was kicked out of the house, but I couldn’t give up on Blackie.
“Normal people shouldn’t attack monsters, but there’s no law against raising them.”
“Sniff!”
“There’s no law that says monsters shouldn’t attack monsters. Do you understand, Blackie?”
“Sniff!”
It doesn’t seem to understand.
“Wouldn’t it work if I raised you well and used you for hunting monsters? The best way is really to raise you.”
In fact, I know that raising monsters to hunt monsters is hard to come by.
Players with taming skills are rare.
If the public raised it, there would still be some regulations.
Still, if I send him out, he will be caught by a player and killed one day.
I have a player in my house, but I’m confident that I won’t get caught by my brother.
I haven’t seen my brother go to the backyard in years.
If I set a minimal boundary, he won’t be able to feel the blackie’s monster aura even if he is just right around the corner.
I hid Blackie in the back of the yard and went back home.
If Blackie leaves the house because he doesn’t behave, it can’t be helped.
Just in case, I made sure to prevent my family from being attacked.
There won’t be a Blackie attacking people.
It was not until my mother opened the door of our house that I spotted a black shadow going out from the backyard.
Sad.

Today is the day I will go to work.
I don’t really want to go to work.
I want to quit my job.
The pedals feel heavier than usual.
“Let’s just go that way.”
Restricted area.
When I asked my brother, he said it was a closed area because it was the area where monsters appeared before.
Since there are so many alleys like that, the country cannot manage them all, and I heard that most of them are actually managed by guilds.
All they have to do is put ‘Restricted’ signs in such places.
“I don’t think it’s going to be dangerous, it’s going to be okay.”
If I arrive 10 minutes early, I’ll need to buy a cup of coffee.
In horror movies, the person who tells you not to do it dies first.
I’m sure I’ll be fine because I’m confident that I’ll survive even if earth suddenly collapsed.
“ARGHHH!”
People?
And monsters.
A player was confronting a monster the size of a two-story building.
Is there a confrontation?
He’s going to die like that.
Should I help him?
I don’t want to get involved in those things. I might be late for work.
If they see my face, I’ll get caught up in something annoying.
After thinking for a while, I saw a black plastic bag hanging on the bicycle handle.
A plastic bag of convenience store sandwiches and banana-flavored milk that I bought for lunch.

South Korea is famous for having many of the world’s highest-class players.
Of course, the guilds competing for first and second place in the world belong to South Korea.
The Hero Guild and the Transcendental Guild.
In fact, all players know that the Hero guild is at the top of the list, while the words “competing for first and second place” are just words of comfort toward the Transcendental Guild.
But that doesn’t mean that the 2nd placers, Transcendental Guild, are losers.
Kim Han-bi is a C-Rated player, but she was not just an ordinary C-level player.
She’s a member of the Transcendental Guild.
Even her friend, a B-Rated player, even envies her just because she is part of the Transcendental Guild.
But of course, she can’t even show her business card in front of the Hero guild member.
“There’s a rumor that the Hero Guild’s Top Heroes lives around here. Is it true?”
Patrolling the restricted area reminded her of something she heard before.
Someone saw the Hero Guild Leader and Vice-Leader passing by here the other day.
“Uh, Hero guild or whatever. Let’s just take a quick look around.”
‘I know it’s safe to patrol alone, but I’m worried for no reason.’
Before, her stupid partner was attacked by a Hound-type monster around here.
Fortunately, he wasn’t seriously injured. He was fine.
Since it was embarrassing to be bitten by a monster that looks just like a dog, they kept it a secret from the guild and went to the hospital today secretly.
That means there might be a monster around here that looks like a dog, but it was left alone.
A monster that looks like a dog.
“Grrr…”
Suddenly, the strange sound from the background gave her goosebumps.
‘Don’t tell me, the real dog monster will show up?’
The moment she looked back because she was anxious.
She thought she’d rather see a dog monster.
“Oh, my god! What a Big Moster!”
She turned her body around in a hurry.
“I have to run!”
‘Should I ask the guild for support first?
No, what’s the point of asking for support? I would have been dead by then.
All of a sudden, a big monster? In an alleyway like this?’
Large monsters are said to appear along the radars made by the institute.
And most large monsters usually appear around the portals.
It was only recently that abnormal monsters appeared outside the portals.
‘But why all of a sudden? Today! Where I am! Am I really unlucky?’
I am dead. I am dead. I am dead!
I will soon die as a food for monster.
“Ugh, argh, argh, argh, argh!”
As soon as she looked back, she closed her eyes as she saw a large monster was preparing to attack her.
Die.
‘Pooh-!’
Am I dead?
