Solo Resurrection

Chapter 7



Chapter 7 – The Unyielding (2)

There was nothing that could not be done in this world.

‘I can do it. Just a little bit more…’

How much time had passed with Kang Hyeon’s body fused with the ground?

Judging from the sun that had been replaced by the moon, it was clear that more than 10 hours had already passed.

‘Ah, I was so close to it!’

As Kang Hyeon had expected, most of the Kurkas had fallen asleep.

However, Kang Hyeon still could not move, and could only glare at the open field.

‘What kind of monster is keeping watch?’

It was because four Kurkas were taking turns keeping watch.

‘What should I do?’

There were only two options.

Either wait indefinitely for them to fall asleep, or carefully approach them.

‘I’ll just go forward.’

Before entering the tutorial, Kang Hyeon had researched about snipers.

Among them, there was a story about a legendary sniper named Hescock that caught his attention.

Hescock reportedly crawled 30cm per minute deep into enemy territory over 3 days and 4 nights before sniping the enemy general.

And Kang Hyeon’s current speed was 10cm per minute.

‘I’m writing a new legend…’

Muttering half-heartedly, Kang Hyeon slowly crawled forward.

The guard’s did not notice Kang Hyeon moving while covered in camouflage.

-Slip

The sound of his body sliding on the ground could be heard.

-Slip

Bugs crawling inside his clothes and hair.

Pants and underwear soaked in urine.

A pain that made his whole body feel rigid.

Many things were tormenting Kang Hyeon, but there was only one thing he wanted right now.

‘Please! I just want to get up and do some stretching.’

But he had to endure.

He had held out for over 10 hours without moving a muscle. And even now, he was crawling slower than an ant.

Kang Hyeon was proud of himself.

If he hadn’t experienced several deaths, he wouldn’t have been able to succeed this quickly.

-Slip

For two hours, he slowly and carefully pushed his fingertips and toes to move inch by inch.

Kang Hyeon was finally able to pass by the sentry.

The ground where he was passing was slightly lower compared to the surrounding area, and for some reason, it seemed to emit a slightly musty smell.

‘Is the urine I am soaked in now wafting up?’

Suddenly, a pungent smell arose, making Kang Hyeon wonder why the urine smell was only now coming up.

“Kuruk?”

At that moment, he felt the sentry standing next to him approaching while making a sound.

-Thump, thump

As the footsteps got closer, Kang Hyeon’s heart raced madly.

‘What? Why is it coming? Just go away. Please, please, just go away!’

Finally, the sentry stopped right next to Kang Hyeon.

“Kururk…”

-Splatter

At the same time, the back of his head started getting wet.

Kang Hyeon clenched his teeth tightly.

“Kururuk, Kururuk!”

The one who had been relieving himself for a long time let out an excited voice as he adjusted his pants.

Watching the retreating figure of the sentry, tears welled up in Kang Hyeon’s eyes.

‘Damn… I went through all this hell just to get pissed on by a pig-like bastard.’

The smell was even unbearable.

After lamenting his miserable situation for a while, Kang Hyeon finally pulled himself together and was able to move again.

‘There’s still a distance to the chieftain’s hut.’

The chieftain’s hut was located in the middle of the open field. Kang Hyeon, who was still on the outskirts, had a long way to go.

‘Just a little more, just a little more…’

He felt the limits of his concentration.

If he could just get up and run, he wouldn’t mind dying at this point.

‘Please… This is the last one. Kang Hyeon! You’ve done so well, you can do it!’

That’s when it happened.

“Kuruk?”

A Kuruka lying on the ground nearby suddenly woke up from its sleep.

-Sniff, sniff

The one that woke up started sniffing around, and soon approached right in front of Kang Hyeon, twitching its nose.

“Kururuk! Kuruk!”

And with a deeply furrowed brow, it muttered something incomprehensible.

If interpreted, it seemed to be asking why Kang Hyeon had placed this smelly pile of weeds here.

‘Ah, fuck… I’m screwed.’

“Kururuk! Kururuk!”

‘I will definitely kill the bastard who pissed on the back of my head.’

Having made his decision, Kang Hyeon jumped up and stabbed the Kurka’ neck with a dagger.

“Keruk… Keuk…”

Fortunately, the dagger seemed to have struck properly, as the Kurka collapsed without making much sound.

Catching the Kurka, Kang Hyeon silently celebrated in his mind.

‘If I play this right, I might be able to get away with this.’

Kang Hyeon grinned as he carefully laid the Kurka on the ground.

“Kuruluk! Kuruk! Kuruk! Keruruk!”

The Kurka that had soaked Kang Hyeon with urine earlier had discovered him and was now screeching with all its might.

“Damn it!”

Kang Hyeon was at a loss.

If he rushed to the chieftain’s hut and stabbed the chieftain, there was a slim chance he could break the tutorial.

But if he went for this sentry instead of the chieftain’s hut, he would have a higher chance of killing the sentry, but would absolutely not be able to break the tutorial.

“Kuruk! Kuruk! Kururuk! Kuruk!”

That dilemma was instantly resolved the moment he looked at the Kurka’s face.

“I’ll kill you, you bastard!!!”

-Ding!

[The skill ‘Roar of the Enraged Lion’ has been generated]

A message flashed in front of him, but this was not the time to pay attention to that.

Kang Hyeon, with his eyes completely rolled back, charged at the Kurka in a frenzy.

He was gripping a huge Ax, though he couldn’t remember when he had picked it up.

“Kururuk?!”

“Aaaaaahhh!”

Startled by Kang Hyeon’s furious charge, the Kurka backed away.

“Kururuk! Kuruk!”

As Kang Hyeon approached, the Kurka’s wide, terrified eyes became visible.

The Kurka frantically turned around and started running away.

“Too late, you bastard!”

Kang Hyeon swung the Ax with the same momentum and brought it down on the Kurka’s head.

-Thwack!

The Kurka with the Ax embedded in its skull could not even let out a scream and collapsed silently.

“Phew, phew… Serves you right. Haha!”

“…”

“Didn’t you feel great when you were pissing? Huh?!”

Kang Hyeon unleashed all his pent-up anger on the lifeless body of the Kurka.

“Kurlrrlr…”

“Kururuk! Kuruok!”

Hearing sounds from behind, Kang Hyeon slowly turned around.

“Uh…? Hmm…”

There were dozens of Kurkas that had woken up from their slumber, gathered in that place.

“Alright, let’s do this. Let’s do this. Ptui!”

Spitting on his palm, Kang Hyeon pulled the Ax out of the Kurka’s head.

“Oogeeweweukeugeuk!”

Kang Hyeon, who had just woken up, thrashed wildly on the bed.

Kang A-hyun, who had been watching over him from the early hours out of concern, looked at his behavior with a stern expression.

“What the hell is wrong with your head?”

“Oogeukuweugeukeuk!”

“Shut up!”

Kang Hyeon stopped his frantic kicking as a powerful kick flew over the blanket.

“Haaa…”

After that, Kang Hyeon lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling like a person who had lost his mind.

“I can’t do it.”

“What?”

“I can’t do it.”

“What?”

Kang Hyeon’s sudden words made Kang A-hyun’s brow furrow deeply.

“I can’t! I can’t do it! How can I endure that again?! I can’t! I won’t!”

“Ugh, what an idiot…”

As Kang Hyeon’s frantic behavior resumed, Kang A-hyun shook her head.

“I can’t! I can’t! I can’t!”

“Then don’t do it! You crazy bastard!”

Just as the siblings were having a roaring contest, the intercom suddenly rang.

-Ding dong~ Ding dong~

“Yes~”

Kang A-hyun, who had quickly changed the mood, opened the front door to see the tired-looking landlady.

She was the building owner who also served as the security guard for the villa as a side job.

“Listen, miss.”

“Yes..?”

The landlady seemed quite unhappy.

“Aren’t we all living in the same world? I’ve checked with other houses, and they said their residents weren’t the ones causing trouble…”

“…”

“But when I came here today, it’s even worse than the rumors.”

“Ah, well… That’s…”

Flustered by the landlady’s words, Kang A-hyun stammered.

“I know it’s tough these days, but please keep it down, at least in the morning and at night. That’s all I ask.”

“Yes, I’m sorry…”

“Well, keep it up.”

-Boom!

The landlady left with the sound of the door slamming shut.

As Kang A-hyun turned around, she saw Kang Hyeon covering his mouth and laughing.

“Pfft…”

“This is all because of you!”

Kang Hyeon was about to shout again when she quickly covered his mouth.

“This is all your fault!”

She yelled in a small voice with a scowl on her face, but Kang Hyeon didn’t seem to hear her.

“You’ll be roaring like a lion soon too.”

“What the hell are you talking about!?”

[Welcome to Kang Hyeon’s tutorial]

“Skip, skip”

Kang Hyeon impatiently skipped through the tedious messages, eagerly waiting for the screen to brighten.

[Third Stage (Stage 3)]…

[Tip: If you wait, an opportunity will come eventually.]

The message made Kang Hyeon’s eyes gleam with a cool light.

“Opportunity?”

When the tutorial first started, the warriors had already gone hunting. And after about an hour, they would return with their prey to the tribe.

“Using such a shitty tip to confuse people?”

When would be the best time to engage in combat?

Kang Hyeon was certain of one thing – the moment the tutorial starts would be the optimal condition.

“Ah, wait a minute.”

Just as Kang Hyeon was about to rush towards Kurka, he remembered something he had forgotten.

“I’m sure I acquired a skill called Roar of the Enraged Lion.”

[Roar of the Enraged Lion] (D)

Ability: Lowers the stats and morale of surrounding enemies. Removes various debuffs (D-rank or lower) on yourself.

Explanation: Spews forth the boiling rage from deep within. This instills fear in enemies and blows away harmful effects on the user.

“What… Why did I get such a good skill?”

It was a D-rank skill, which was something Kang Hyeon had never received before, and he read the explanation with curious eyes.

“So, how do I use it?”

[Usage method: Recall the skill name and let out a powerful roar.]

The message answered Kang Hyeon’s question kindly.

“Simple enough.”

After confirming the skill, Kang Hyeon slowly began to undo his camouflage.

“I need to take off this annoying weed right away.”

Discarding the camouflage, Kang Hyeon started to loosen up his body.

“There’s no need to wait from the beginning, the game will be over once I take down the chieftain.”

Fooled twice by the saying that an opportunity will come if he waits, Kang Hyeon was no longer in his right mind.

“Tell me to do that again? No way. It’s better to just behead all these pigs and level up to clear it quickly.”

Having finished his preparations, Kang Hyeon opened his inventory.

“The dagger is still not familiar, so this will be better.”

Name: Ordinary Longsword

Rank: E

Durability: 200/200

Description: A plain longsword that village guards would carry around. Crude, but with unusually high durability for its rank.

The longsword he received after clearing the second stage. It didn’t look particularly good, but compared to the previous F-rank, it was a significant improvement.

“Okay, I’m ready. Then…”

Kang Hyeon slowly recalled the skill in his mind.

“Ugh~”

After taking a deep breath, he unleashed it in one go.

“Yaaaa~!”

[Roar of the Enraged Lion has been activated]

[The morale and abilities of all enemies have decreased]

‘Whoa, it’s so powerful’

Startled by the booming sound coming from his own mouth, Kang Hyeon quickly rushed towards the enemies.

“Kuruk!? Kuuk?!”

“Get out of the way!”

-Bam!

Kicking aside the small Kurka blocking his path, Kang Hyeon reached the chieftain’s hut in just 2 minutes, which had taken him over 10 hours in his previous attempt.

“Kurrruk! Kuuk!”

Kang Hyeon could see the warriors nearby grabbing their axes and rushing towards him.

‘The moment the warriors gather, it’s over. I have to finish it before that.’

Fortunately, there was only one guard protecting the chieftain’s dwelling. If Kang Hyeon could take him down, the chief would only have a thin tent separating him.

“Haa!”

As Kang Hyeon rushed towards the guard, he stumbled and fell to the ground. A low-flying ax narrowly missed him.

-Bam!

Kang Hyeon kicked the guard trying to swing his ax again, then immediately opened the tent.

“Kurrrruk..!”

“I have no personal grudge, but you must die!”

Just as Kang Hyeon was about to stab the chieftain with his sword, something happened.

“Huh?”

Suddenly, his body wouldn’t move.

“What’s going on!?”

“Kuuk, kuuk!”

[You have been affected by a low-level magic binding skill]

“Fuck! What kind of tutorial uses magic!?”

In fact, the magic was something he would normally never encounter in the regular progression.

As Kang Hyeon strained every muscle in his body, a thought flashed through his mind.

“Uugh! Be released!!!”

[Roar of the Enraged Lion has been activated]

[The low-level magic binding has been dispelled]

“Got it!”

“Kurrrr…”

But the brief celebration was short-lived.

Kang Hyeon let out a sigh when he saw the seven Kurka warriors blocking the exit.

“Haah…”

The chieftain must have escaped as soon as the magic succeeded, as he was nowhere to be seen.

Frustration welling up, Kang Hyeon roughly ran his hand through his hair.

“Well, since it’s come to this…”

“Kuruk…”

“Let’s go back to the elevator scene. Come at me, you bastards!”

-Bam, slash! Bam!

“Ah..!”

Kang Hyeon opened his eyes and met the familiar ceiling, letting out a groan.

“I’m so angry that I can’t even move…”

Over the past few days, he had experienced every kind of pain imaginable – cuts, tears, holes, and limbs being severed by bladed weapons. That meant he no longer got knocked out or shocked by even the most excruciating pain.

But the fury swelling in his heart was something he couldn’t control.

“I was so close… I had already cleared it!”

In the end, Kang Hyeon had only managed to take down one of the seven Kurka warriors. Precisely at the moment he had stabbed one in the neck, he was instantly hacked to pieces by the axes flying in from all directions.

“I had already cleared it, damn it!!!”

“Fuck! Let me just sleep a bit.”

-Boom, boom!

The sound of the walls shaking, along with Kang A-hyun’s anguished cries, reached Kang Hyeon. Dispirited, he quietly made his way to the kitchen.
