Solo Resurrection

Chapter 53 – Seong-a’s Day (2)

“I’m sorry. I’ll definitely compensate you for the damages.”

“No, you helped me. I should be the one thanking you.”

Kim Seol-a waved her hands and smiled at the mention of compensation.

“Still, I’d like to at least pay for the things that were broken because of me. That way I can come back comfortably next time.”

“It’s really okay…”

Kim Seol-a reluctantly gave her account number after Shin Seong-a’s persistent requests.

“Then I’ll be going now.”

“Okay.”

Shin Seong-a left the cafe, dragging the three thugs along.

“Phew… That was tough.”

Kim Seol-a, normally quiet in nature, was completely drained from the sudden incidents.

-Ding!

“What’s that? A text message?”

Kim Seol-a checked her phone at the sudden alert.

“It’s a deposit notification? Wha-?!”

Kim Seol-a’s eyes widened as she checked her phone.

She barely managed to check her phone again with trembling hands.

“W-What? One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand, million… Hundred million? T-Two hundred million?!”

An enormous sum of 200 million won had been deposited from Shin Seong-a.

Kim Seol-a hurriedly called Shin Seong-a.

-The customer is currently unavailable. Please leave a message…

“What should I do? I can’t just accept this kind of money.”

After pondering, she sent a text message.

-I think you sent the wrong amount. Even 20 million won is a lot, but you sent 200 million. Please reply.

-It’s the correct deposit.

-I can’t accept this kind of money from someone I barely know.

-From now on, we can get to know each oth…

Shin Seong-a shook her head and deleted the message she was writing.

-It’s fine. A delicious cup of coffee next time will do. I hope you run the cafe for a long time.

-Thank you so much…

Shin Seong-a smiled faintly upon receiving the reply.

-Take care then.

She had given an enormous sum of 200 million won to someone she barely knew.

An action that others might call crazy if they heard about it. But for some reason, Shin Seong-a felt good.

“I already have enough money… This is enough.”

Her father, who always regarded her as merely a proxy for his unfulfilled dreams.

He never gave her any affection, but he was her only family.

When even that family died and she was left alone.

What came to her was not peace, but severe loneliness.

The cafe that was the only thing that comforted her then.

Thinking of the comfort and memories she received there for years, she would have poured out even more money, not just 200 million.

“Heh.”

Swallowing the laughter that suddenly burst out, Shin Seong-a mounted her bike energetically.

On a peaceful afternoon.

An Yu-seong was sitting in the office, throwing a dagger.

-Thwack!

The dagger, precisely stuck in the center of the scoreboard, trembled.

“I wonder when Kang Hyeon will wake up.”

“He’s known for his great recovery, so he’ll be better soon.”

Shin Seong-a, who was watching the news, answered and carelessly threw a dagger.

-Whoosh! Thwack!

The dagger that left her hand precisely knocked away An Yu-seong’s dagger and stuck in its place.

“Ooh, older sister, you’re pretty good?”

“It’s nothing.”

Shin Seong-a raised one corner of her mouth and smiled contentedly.

-Ring ring!

“Yes? Yes! This is Badass Guild.”

“The guild master is currently unavailable…”

“We’re not accepting new guild members now!”

“How many times do I have to say this? The guild is currently…”

Unlike the relaxed two, busy work continued in one corner of the office.

Han Jae-moon, who had been wrestling with the phone all day, glared at the two fiercely.

‘These bastards… Would it kill them to help a little?!’

After this recent raid, all sorts of inquiries flooded the guild.

From simple advertisements to sponsorships, membership applications, and dungeon raid requests.

Han Jae-moon worked almost every night, but it felt like the work was piling up rather than being resolved.

“Hey, did you all do well while I was gone?”

“Kang Hyeon!”

Just then, the office door opened and a familiar voice was heard. At the same time, Shin Seong-a, who had been rolling on the floor, sprang up.

“Did you all spread out like this just because I was gone for a day?”

“We’re always like this though.”

“Don’t you think you’re being a bit self-conscious?”

“You guys…”

They were clearly sincerely waiting for Kang Hyeon just a moment ago, but for some reason, they wanted to pick a fight as soon as they saw him.

“Anyway, nothing happened, right?”

“Yes. The guild is quiet.”

Shin Seong-a nodded her head confidently.

“Uh, uh…”

Han Jae-moon, who was in the corner of the office, opened and closed his mouth repeatedly as if he wanted to say something.

‘It’s not quiet at all!’

However, that cry couldn’t quite come out and just circled in his chest.

“Take this.”

“What is this?”

“A gift.”

Kang Hyeon took out an unfamiliar bow from his inventory and handed it to Shin Seong-a.

Shin Seong-a, who received the bow in bewilderment, checked its information.

Name: Bow of the Benandi Great Warrior

Grade: C

Durability: 98 / 100

Description: A bow used by a great warrior of the Benandi, a tribe of hunters. It’s light and comfortable to use, with high elasticity.

Ability: Magic Arrow

*Magic Arrow – Shoots magic arrows that are less affected by gravity.

Shin Seong-a smiled brightly after checking the item information.

“Are you giving this to me?”

“Who else would I give it to? I secretly picked it up during the dungeon clear, so use it well.”

“Thank you.”

Shin Seong-a had passed up to the 3rd stage of the tutorial.

Even that was quite a high level, but it’s true that there was some regret.

Especially, not having a B-grade weapon given for clearing the 6th stage was a big concern for her.

But now that she received a decent weapon, it felt like she had thrown off a heavy burden.

“It’s good that even without arrows, it can be substituted with magic.”

“That’s right. I tried it once, and the accuracy is amazing. Just be careful because it consumes quite a lot of magic.”

“Yes.”

After handing over the item, Kang Hyeon opened his own status window.

▫Name: Kang Hyeon

▫Title: Tutorial Graduate and 3 others

▫Level: 57

▫Detailed Stats:

Strength 28 (+4)(+2)

Agility 26 (+3)

Stamina 29 (+3)(+2)

Magic 30 (+3)(+4)

Additional Stats: –

▫Unique Ability: Resurrection

▫Skills: Roar of the Enraged Lion(C), Advanced Bodily Regeneration(A), Bisection(D), Giant’s Strength(B), Magic Explosion(D), Wayne’s Secret Technique(D), Entria’s Outer Shell(D)

“My magical power has certainly increased a lot.”

It was worth investing in it every time my level went up.

“Entria’s outer shell has also upgraded…”

As Kang Hyeon continued examining his status window, his eyes stopped on ‘Poison Resistance’.

Poison Resistance (F)

Ability: Strengthens immunity against poison.

Description: Reduces the effects of any type of poison on the body.

In fact, poison is not a weapon used very often.

There was almost no information about ability users or monsters attacking using poison until now.

‘Still, it’s good to have it as a precaution. Moreover, knowing about the existence of resistance abilities is a big gain.’

Surely resistance abilities are not limited to just poison.

Kang Hyeon thought that if he could learn other resistance abilities besides poison, it would be a great help in the future.

“I should ask Team Leader Shin Tae-gil to look into it.”

“Pardon?”

“Nothing. By the way, there’s no work for a while now, right?”

Everyone except Han Jae-moon nodded at Kang Hyeon’s question.

“Why does Jae-moon look so busy? Is something up?”

“After this raid, many people are showing interest in the guild…”

“Hmm, is that so?”

It was certainly the perfect time to grow the guild, with its fame at its peak.

However, Kang Hyeon had no intention of expanding the guild’s size yet.

‘Someday I’ll create a huge guild, but…’

Now is the time to focus more on the growth of his main body.

He didn’t want the guild, which was spontaneously created for dungeon raids, to become more important than his original purpose.

“Just reject them all for now. I have no plans at the moment.”

“Understood.”

Shin Seong-a answered on behalf of the busy Han Jae-moon.

“So, what should we do now?”

Kang Hyeon pondered about future tasks.

“The first thing that comes to mind is getting accessories…”

The ‘Bilgein’s Longsword’ and ‘Ronald’s Armor’ that Kang Hyeon wears are both B-grade equipment obtained from the tutorial, which he’s been using without any lack so far.

However, in the case of accessories, apart from the ‘Ring of Strong Strong’ and ‘Goblin Archmage’s Ring’, he was only wearing ordinary rings that increased strength and vitality by 2 each.

“If I had accessories of grade C or higher, I’d be much stronger.”

Generally, the number of accessories one can wear is 4 in total.

There’s no reason to remove the Ring of Strong Mind and the Goblin Grand Shaman’s Ring, so he only needs to get 2 more accessories.

“Is there anywhere to get good accessories?”

“Won’t they drop if we keep raiding dungeons?”

“No, the chances are too slim if we just wander around aimlessly.”

Kang Hyeon had collected over a hundred accessories so far.

Most of them were stolen goods, but since their owners were no longer of this world, it wasn’t really a problem.

However, there were barely any accessories that Kang Hyeon could use.

“Isn’t it too much that there’s nothing usable even after collecting so many?”

“…”

“Sigh… What should I do?”

While Kang Hyeon was deep in thought,

-Ding dong

The office intercom rang.

“Who is it? Was anyone supposed to come today?”

“No. I’ll go check.”

Shin Seong-a picked up the intercom.

“Who is it?”

-It’s Han Si-hwan! Please open the door!

“Kang Hyeon, it’s a man named Han Si-hwan. Do you know him?”

“No.”

Kang Hyeon’s expression showed that he had never heard such a name before.

“I’m sorry, but we can’t open the door to strangers.”

-Ah, no! Wait…!

Han Si-hwan tried to say something, but Shin Seong-a was quicker in hanging up the intercom.

-Ding dong

As soon as the connection was cut, the doorbell rang again.

“Who is it?”

-Han Si-h…

Shin Seonga terminated the connection even before he could finish his name.

-Ding dong!

“Who is it?”

-Wait! Wait, please! I beg you!

“Go ahead.”

-I’m Han Si-hwan from the Guardian Guild. Ms. Shin Seong-a. Don’t you know me?

“I don’t.”

Shin Seong-a answered without a moment’s hesitation.

“Kang Hyeon, he says he’s Han Si-hwan from the Guardian Guild. Do you know him?”

“No.”

Han Si-hwan, hearing the conversation through the phone, was on the verge of going crazy.

‘What’s wrong with these lunatics?!’

Even though his role was minor, he had participated in the raid as a representative of the Guardian Guild.

Especially with Kang Hyeon, he had quite a long conversation.

“And yet they don’t even remember…”

Han Si-hwan muttered dejectedly, filled with self-loathing.

“Huh?”

Just then, as he was contemplating whether to leave, the door opened.

The man who opened the door was short with a small build. It was Han Jae-moon.

“I’m sorry! Please come in.”

“Han Jae-moon, you shouldn’t open the door to strangers.”

Kang Hyeon’s voice was heard from afar, but Han Si-hwan deliberately ignored it and stepped in.

“What is this…”

The guild office that Han Si-hwan entered, following Han Jae-moon’s guidance, completely exceeded his expectations.

The furniture was scattered haphazardly, and the trash can was piled high with dozens of beer cans.

The most striking of all were the numerous weapons lying on the floor.

From simple daggers to maces and arrows, weapons of all kinds were strewn about.

“Ah, now that I see your face, I remember. You were the vice guild master of that Guardian Guild, right?”

“Yes, that’s correct.”

Kang Hyeon approached Han Si-hwan, who was standing there in a daze.

“So, what brings you to our humble abode?”

“Well… That…”

In truth, Han Si-hwan had intended to join the Badass Guild with some of his guild members.

However, not even a minute after entering the guild office, he couldn’t help but reconsider whether his judgment was correct.

-Ding dong

Just then, the office doorbell rang again.

“Who is it now!?”

“I don’t know.”

“What’s with today. Open it.”

“Yes.”

When Shin Seong-a opened the door, an unfamiliar face appeared.

“Mr. Kang Hyeon! Please help us!”

The man who hurriedly entered looked quite urgent.

He was bleeding from wounds all over, looking like he should be in a hospital right away.

“Ah… Mr. Jo Younggu?”

“It’s Jo Dong-won.”

“Ahem! I’m sorry. You were the vice guild master of that Haeseon Guild, right?”

“That’s right!”

“What’s the matter? Suddenly asking for help.”

In response to Kang Hyeon’s question, Jo Dongw-on fell to his knees with a thud.

“Mr. Kang Hyeon. Please save our guild, save my brother!”
