My Gun Can Pierce Through Hunter Story Clichés!

He forcibly suppressed the desire to eat raw tiger meat while dissecting the materials.

It involved digging out the heart area with the tusk blade to collect magic stones.

After collecting all the magic stones, the messy corpses all turned into pure white light.

The surroundings became instantly clean.

Even the blood spatters on Han-wol’s body disappeared along with them.

‘I wonder what materials I got.’

Han-wol picked up the materials that had fallen to the ground one by one and put them in his inventory.

Most of what came out were tiger claws, teeth, or meat.

And occasionally there was hide.

‘Hide… should I make armor with this?
But I don’t want to wear armor because it’s uncomfortable.’

However, he couldn’t go completely without it either.

In fact, the annoying incident at the Tiger’s Den entrance was largely Han-wol’s fault.

After all, Han-wol’s attire consisted only of jeans, a shirt, and sneakers.

While other players were wearing armor or uniforms appropriate for their professions, his casual style stood out like a sore thumb.

‘But I can’t do what I did today every time either.’

He had used 9 2-Star magic stones just to cut a rock to convince the meddlesome priest.

If he had just made bullets with those and sold them, he would have earned at least 900,000 won.

‘If only that annoying woman hadn’t spoken to me… Thanks to her, I wasted precious magic stones.’

Han-wol inwardly cursed the innocent priest.

To easily avoid such incidents in the future, he had no choice but to acquire appropriate equipment.

‘I need to learn something like tailoring.’

He had heard that in each village, there was a place where production-class NPCs gathered.

It was probably called the Craftsman’s House, which he should visit when he had time.

‘First, I should go to the vigilante office to consign the weapons.
Let’s just kill 1,000 more and finish.’

If he killed more than that, he might get a title like Pig Slaughterer as before.

If that happened, monsters would run away again, making hunting efficiency terrible, so he had to avoid it at all costs.

“Grrrrrr.”

Speaking of tigers, a group of them had just spotted Han-wol and were slowly approaching.

Han-wol immediately took out two Oink-oink Guns and held them in both hands.

Despite the ridiculous name, the massive tusk blades attached to the ends looked extremely threatening.

Just stabbing with them activated the weapon’s unique ability ‘Gluttonous Recovery,’ which absorbed the enemy’s vitality.

Also, the handgun’s original performance was excellent enough that a single bullet would send tigers straight to the afterlife.

While its performance was incredibly outstanding, if one had to pick a flaw…

[Due to the weapon’s effect, your speech pattern is forcibly changed.]

“Come on oink oink!”

…perhaps it was that it made him look rather uncool.

Just as Han-wol got off the taxi a bit far from Seoul Village West, most of the area outside the village was a dangerous zone where monsters appeared.

Therefore, if non-players wanted to go to the village, they had to be accompanied by players as escorts.

Of course, even players sometimes got injured by monsters on their way to the village if their level wasn’t high enough.

That’s why there was one event that occurred periodically in every village.

[Village Invasion Event Occurring!]

[Monsters are currently approaching Seoul Village West.]

[Monster Rank: 1-2 Star]

It was the ‘Village Invasion’ event.

While Han-wol was focused on killing 1,000 tigers, a village invasion event occurred in Seoul Village West.

Perhaps because of this, more players than usual were outside.

If you listened carefully to their conversations, they were all talking about the village invasion.

Of course, Park Chae-won’s party, which Han-wol had encountered in the Pig’s Den, was doing the same.

“Yes! We bought plenty of bullets this time, so there’s nothing to fear!”

Lee Jin-woo, the warrior of Park Chae-won’s party.

He was holding a shield in one hand and a magic handgun in the other.

“My, he’s excited.”

“Tell me about it.”

It was Park Chae-won, the party’s Taoist, who teased Jin-woo for being unnecessarily high-spirited.

Kim Min-su, the rogue sitting next to her, seemed to share her sentiment as he agreed with Park Chae-won’s remark.

“Of course I’m excited! Our income hasn’t been great since the white pig extermination quests disappeared, but now there’s a village invasion! A village invasion!
And right before we were about to go hunting! Aren’t we lucky?”

“I’ll give you that.”

“Then hurry and take out your weapons. Let’s get ready!”

At the warrior Jin-woo’s urging, the Taoist Chae-won and the rogue Min-su also took out weapons from their inventories.

What was a bit strange was that the rogue wasn’t carrying a dagger and the Taoist wasn’t carrying a staff.

Both Chae-won and Min-su were equipped with the same magic handguns as warrior Jin-woo.

Whereas the ones they used in the Pig’s Den had a slight green glow, the current ones emitted a faint blue light, suggesting they had purchased rare magic handguns.

Before long, dust started to appear beyond the village entrance.

“I can’t stand it anymore! Let’s go kill them first!”

Jin-woo, unable to contain himself, tried to rush into the battlefield.

But Chae-won grabbed his shoulder and stopped him.

“Just stay still. The quest hasn’t even appeared yet.”

The reason village invasions remained consistently popular among players was because of the quests.

Monsters invade the village and attack the villagers.

Vigilante NPCs come out to help them and try to stop the monsters, but they always struggle.

And precisely at that moment, the vigilante corps requests a quest for players to help protect the village.

“You know well that if you kill them before the quest appears, there’s no additional reward.”

“I know that… but what about just going there ahead of time?”

“The quest won’t trigger until they reach here anyway, so why bother going?”

“Just calm down and wait, Jin-woo.”

“Damn, I really want to kill them quickly.”

In the end, Park Chae-won’s party, including Jin-woo, decided to wait at the village entrance.

Other players were likewise waiting for the quest to appear.

Soon, a group of vigilantes could be seen coming from the village.

“Okay, they’re here.”

“As soon as the quest appears, we’ll go.”

“Yeah. Everyone be careful not to hit other people when shooting.
You could instantly become a murderer.”

“Don’t say such scary things…”

Just as the monsters reached the entrance.

Kim Min-su noticed something strange.

“Huh? The vigilante guys aren’t holding weapons?”

“You’re right. What’s going on? Didn’t they used to carry spears?”

At that moment, all the vigilante members simultaneously took out weapons from inside their clothes.

And they were…

“Aren’t those magic handguns?”

“Huh? They really are. But since we bought them from there too, I guess it’s possible.”

Jin-woo and Chae-won didn’t think much of it.

‘C-could it be… no, it can’t be, right?’

On the other hand, Min-su, perhaps because he was a rogue, had a keener sense of the situation and seemed to have realized something.

Just as all players were eagerly waiting for the quest to appear.

Ta-da-da-da-da-dang! Ta-da-da-da-da-dang!

The sound of gunshots echoed without pause.

Each time a vigilante member pulled the trigger, dozens of bullets poured toward the monsters.

“Kwee-ek!” “Kee-ek!” “Bee-kya-ak!”

White pigs, wind squirrels, horned wild boars, battle deer, giant rats, and more.

No monster could cross the village entrance before turning into corpses.

After about 5 minutes.

[Village Invasion Ended!]

The village invasion had ended.

Of course, the quest never appeared.

All the players gathered there couldn’t say a word, their expressions dumbfounded.

Unlike the noisy scene just moments ago, there was now a silence so profound it sent chills down their spines.

The first to break the silence was none other than the vigilante corps.

The Pig’s Den gatekeeper, who had received some kind of request from Han-wol, stood before the players.

The players gulped.

The other vigilante members stood respectfully behind the gatekeeper, taking their positions.

Then he began to speak.

“Now, did everyone see! The magnum opus of Hanwo… I mean, the Theory Master’s magic handguns that swept away monsters in an instant!
You can see them right here, right now!
Rare magic handguns for 10 gold! Special ones for 5 gold! Regular ones for just 3 gold!
They’re also selling well at the vigilante office, so please check them out!”

The vigilante members did very good business, just as Han-wol had instructed them.

It was when I was young.

My brother was 13, and I was 11.

Our parents didn’t like my brother very much.

“Lee Han-wol! You skipped school again!”

“Yeah.”

“This mother is so embarrassed she could die!
How many times have I told you not to skip school? You won’t even be able to graduate at this rate!”

“I can.”

My brother answered calmly, reading an extremely thick book without even glancing at our mother.

The book title was written in English, “Lebesgue Integration.”

“W-what?”

“You just need to attend more than 2/3 of the total attendance days.
I have a total of 64 life points left, and I still have 20 days.”
