level 1 player novel novel Chapter 32

-Rare mercenary Lucia has excellent ability to break through enemy lines and is good at defense.

– But don’t trust too much.

-She is a fugitive and a loser.

– Hired mercenaries are subject to the instructions of the employer according to the contract.

-If the employer’s instructions are judged unreasonable, the hired mercenary may cancel the contract and return.

– The employer may terminate the contract if it is determined that the hired mercenary is acting in bad faith.

-Points are consumed according to the time of employment when the contract is broken.

-Minimum employment time: 3 hours

-Minimum hiring cost: 299,999,999 points

It was the cheapest mercenary.

100 million points per hour.

Not a small point.

100 million points equals 3 years of lifespan.

At 300 million points, that’s 9 years’ worth of lifespan.

However, Hyunseong has over 10 billion points. And even now, the points continue to increase.

From Hyunseong’s point of view, 300 million points was not a burdensome point.

‘But that’s what caught me.’

Don’t trust too much.

She is a fugitive and a loser.

‘What does that mean? Does that mean you’re good at breaking contracts?’

she wondered

‘First of all, securing information is a priority.’

I wondered what the identity of the mercenary was.

And she had to ask the identity of the unique skill and why the dimensional gate occurs.

‘I can’t help it.’

It’s not the spec you want to hire.

However, it was not possible to spend tens of billions of points to verify information.

Although she is said to be a fugitive and a loser, it seemed that she would not be in much danger unless she was in a combat situation.

Hyunseong pressed her hire button.

-She has hired a rare mercenary Lucia.

– Pay a minimum hiring cost of 299,999,999 points.

– 180 minutes of remaining hire time.

Wrath!

Lucia was summoned in the dungeon with a bright light.

“Thank you for hiring me, my employer. I will fight with all my might. Where are the enemies?”

Lucia asked, holding her own sword and shield and staring sharply around her.

Her words were the first language I had ever heard.

Fortunately, there were no communication problems.

It was thanks to the basic abilities of the players.

But she didn’t believe her words at all.

Hyunseong’s face was stained with embarrassment.

A rare mercenary, Lucia.

She was an old woman with gray hair and a lot of wrinkles and age spots on her face.

The armor she wore and the sword and shield she held in her hands also looked of very poor quality.

‘Why the old man… … .’

It was frustrating.

But she once had to explain the situation.

“Hey, I’ve never been here.”

“Yes? Then why did you hire me?”

“I have a few questions for you.”

“Is this your first time using the mercenary system?”“Yes, it was just activated.”

“i See. Feel free to ask. As far as I can answer, I will tell you everything.”

Lucia relaxed his fighting stance and flopped down on the floor.

“What is the identity of a mercenary?”

First, she asked the most curious thing.

“You are a player like your employer.”

“Are you a player like me?”

“Yes, to be more precise, a player with the same unique skills as your employer.”

“If it’s the same unique skill?”

“I’m talking about buying and selling.”

Also, the prediction was correct.

The creators of the numerous items listed on the purchase window.

Lucia, a rare-class mercenary summoned before Hyunseong’s eyes, was one of them.

“Then the world where Lucia-sama lives is also being attacked by monsters? Why do dimensional gates happen?”

At Hyunseong’s question, Lucia’s eyes were filled with regret.

“The world I lived in was also attacked by monsters. I don’t know what causes dimensional gates to happen.”

Upon hearing Lucia’s answer, Hyunseong’s expression was colored with regret.

“If you want to know the cause of the dimensional gate, you will need to hire a mercenary with a legend rank or higher. Even the hero-level mercenaries didn’t know the cause of the dimensional gate.”

“i See.”

I thought too hastily.

“The world I live in has been 20 years since the Dimension Gate occurred. We’ve had two cataclysms, but we’re fairly stable now. May I know when the next Cataclysm is coming?”

“As far as I know, it was done twice.”

“Is that really true?”

Hyunseong’s face brightened.

If twice is the end, doesn’t that mean there will be no more cataclysms?

“Probably not another cataclysmic event in the next 20 years or so. But I can’t guarantee any more than that.”

“Why?”

“Because the world I lived in was completely eroded by monsters 40 years after the first cataclysm.”

Hyunseong’s face hardened like a stone.

“There must have been a fugitive and a loser in my employment phrase. Do you know why that phrase exists?”

Hyunseong couldn’t help but answer.

He feared that his guesses would come true.

“I’m a loser who ran away from the world I used to live in.”

Lucia’s words flew like a dagger and pierced Hyunseong’s chest.

After a while.

Hyunseong, who barely calmed his heart, continued the conversation with Lucia again.

“Can I hear the story of the cataclysm from the time of the cataclysm to its destruction?”
