Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad [EN]: Chapter 13

There are No Bad Heroes in the World

Choi Hyun-seok left the castle with the cooks.

The destination was a large forest located behind the 3rd Army Corps headquarters.

“I wonder if Bobo is okay…”

Currently, Bobo was left in the kitchen.

Because the head chef, Kulkan, opposed Bobo coming along.

“Bobo cannot come with us.”
“Yes? What’s the reason?”
“If Bobo goes, the monsters will run away, and we won’t be able to hunt.”

Choi Hyun-seok had no choice.

If they said do it, he had to do it.

‘Bobo, don’t cause any trouble. Please…!’

He wasn’t worried about Bobo getting hurt or anything.

With the rumors about Bobo and Choi Hyun-seok already widespread, no crazy person would dare to touch Bobo.

His biggest worry was whether Bobo would go somewhere and devour a Ma Wang army executive…

That was his main concern.

‘By the way, how far are we going?’

Choi Hyun-seok looked around.

It was quite a dense forest.

They had been walking for about thirty minutes since leaving the castle, but it seemed they hadn’t reached their destination yet.

At that moment, something flashed in Choi Hyun-seok’s mind.

‘Wait a minute… if I play this right, can’t I escape?’

The situation was favorable.

A forest good for hiding.

There were no obstacles here.

No lip monsters that sent chills down your spine just by looking at them.

No cow-headed guys who could turn a knight into a bloody mess with a single punch.

And no oversized dogs that treated the muscular Ma Wang army like snacks.

There were cooks who were large and seemed a bit dim-witted, but.

Compared to the threats he had faced so far, they were nothing more than child’s play.

‘A golden opportunity to escape the Ma Wang army! Heaven hasn’t abandoned me after all!’

For now, he would only think about getting out of this place.

Then, he would seek advice from Rahel and go to the human world.

The path would surely be difficult, but he didn’t care.

Compared to being stuck in this insane Ma Wang army, that would be 100 times safer.

He would move as soon as he saw an opening.

Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes began to sparkle.

Just then, a cook shouted.

“Boilder ahead!”
‘Boilder? What’s that?’

Choi Hyun-seok’s question was quickly answered.

“Kweeek!”

An appearance similar to a wild boar.

The difference was that it was as big as an average elephant.

‘Crazy… are they going to catch that?’

Even a normal wild boar is powerful enough to kill you if it charges properly.

But this monster called Boilder was as big as an elephant.

‘If I get hit, I won’t even be able to collect my bones.’

More accurately, he would become a bloody pulp.

If that thing charged at him, his body would turn into a flat dumpling.

But the cooks were brave.

“Tonight’s dinner!”

“Slice it up!”

“Waaaaah!”

The cooks, holding huge kitchen knives, charged at the Boilder with shouts.

“Kuururuk, phooong!”

The Boilder snorted loudly and charged towards the cooks.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The ground shook as if there was an earthquake every time the Boilder stepped.

“Stop!”

At that moment, a cook bravely stood in front of the Boilder.

‘Oh… is he going to show something?’

Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes lit up.

To stop a house-sized wild boar single-handedly.

You couldn’t do that unless you were crazy.

Choi Hyun-seok expected the brave cook to have some tremendous power like a raid boss.

Thump!

“Kuaaaaaaak!”

The cook flew into the sky.

He seemed to have ended his life with a short scream.

“That bastard killed Morgon!”
“Let’s avenge Morgon!”

“Waaaaaaah!”

The cooks charged at the Boilder with shouts.

They looked like moths jumping into a fire.

Choi Hyun-seok sighed and rubbed his forehead.

“Haa…”

Contrary to his expectations, the cooks didn’t have any great abilities.

They were just recklessly stupid.

Thump!

“Keuk!”

The Boilder’s front paw crushed his head.

Thump!

“Ggeuk!”

He became a bloody pulp from a hind kick and flew into the sky.

‘What the hell is this…’

Choi Hyun-seok’s eyeballs shook like crazy.

He had only come to the kitchen to get ingredients.

He definitely didn’t come to join a suicide squad.

If he had known that the kitchen was a collection of crazy people like this, he wouldn’t have come near it.

“Human, what are you doing?”

The head chef Kulkan, whom he had met for the first time, approached.

“Yes?”

“If you only watch, you won’t get anything. Look. The first hunt is already over.”

As Kulkan said, the Boilder had already fallen.

‘What…? They caught it already…?’

When he first saw it, he thought they would fail to hunt it and be annihilated.

But the cooks quickly hunted the Boilder.

Their abilities seemed to be quite good after all.

“Head Chef Kulkan! The hunt is over!”

“Any casualties?”

“Twelve deaths.”

There were no injuries.

Because they died instantly upon being attacked.

“Good. Excellent!”

Although quite a few soldiers had died, Kulkan actually smiled.

“Take good care of the bodies. We must not let our comrades’ deaths be in vain.”

“Yes.”

The cook left for cleanup.

Kulkan put his hand on Choi Hyun-seok’s shoulder.

“Human. If you want to take the meat, you’d better work harder.”

“Yes…”

He began to worry deeply about the journey ahead.

***

A short break after the battle.

Choi Hyun-seok said he was going to take care of business and moved to a secluded place.

As the surroundings became quiet, Rahel appeared in the air with a pop!

“Heroherohero!”

Rahel was barking like crazy as soon as she appeared.

“Why are you making such a fuss again?”
“How can I not make a fuss!? What are we going to do now?”
“What else… we have to hunt.”

Rahel was horrified at Choi Hyun-seok’s words.

“Are you crazy!? You’re going to catch that monstrous beast? Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely impossible!”
“Then should we run away or something? I guarantee you’ll be known as a ‘Yukhoe [Korean-style steak tartare] 맛집 [delicious restaurant]’ before you even take a few steps.”

He cleanly gave up on the idea of escaping.

He would need at least ten lives to get out of this forest alone.

“It’s better this way.”

“Better how?”

“Either way, if we’re going to have a duel in a month, it’s impossible in my current state. I need to improve my skills and level up before that. And get some ingredients at the same time.”
“But I think becoming a Yukhoe 맛집 will come before leveling up.”
“I have a plan for that.”

Choi Hyun-seok smiled confidently, unlike his usual self.

“Rahel. You said last time that the fastest way to level up is to kill demons or monsters.”

“Did I… ?”

Rahel made a face as if she had a hunch.

“Does that mean I get experience even if I only get the last hit?”

“…”

“The idiots can do the fighting, and I’ll just take the last hit and gobble up the experience!”

“Haa…”

Rahel sighed deeply.

This hero was more trashy than she thought… no, cunning.

“Maybe you can level up just by getting the last hit, like you said. But there’s a problem.”

“What problem?”

“Do you think it’ll be easy to accurately cut off the monster’s breath in a chaotic battle situation? Besides, you’re a newbie.”

“That’s true.”

Choi Hyun-seok nodded at Rahel’s words.

He had been thinking the same thing.

“I’m sorry. I’ve been misunderstanding you all this time.”

“Yes? What do you mean by misunderstanding?”

“Just. I thought you were capable of thinking.”
“Ha, it makes me feel twice as bad to hear that from you, Hero.”

“What!?”

Choi Hyun-seok and Rahel both frowned.

It seemed that this diss battle would end in a draw.

“Anyway, like you said, I don’t think it’ll be easy to get the last hit. No, it’ll definitely be difficult.”
“Then do you have any other plans?”

“No.”

Choi Hyun-seok said confidently.

“I’ll just have to rush in and try my best. What else can I do?”
“That’s so like you, Hero…”

Rahel sighed deeply.

‘To be honest, it’s not like I don’t have any plans at all.’

In fact, Choi Hyun-seok had another plan in mind.

That was to use the Hero Shop.

But this plan had not yet been concretely refined.

The information was also too lacking.

Since the plan would cost quite a lot of Hero Points to execute, he decided to put it on hold for now.

“Then let’s go back. It’ll be strange if we’re too late.”

“Yes.”

Rahel disappeared again.

Choi Hyun-seok headed to where the cooks were gathered.

***

Seeing Choi Hyun-seok returning, Kulkan said.

“Did you take care of business well?”

“Yes!”

“I was worried you might be foolishly trying to run away, but I’m glad.”
“How could I do that! Hahaha!”

Choi Hyun-seok, who was inwardly pricked, laughed exaggeratedly.

“Kulkan-nim [term of respect]. So when is the next hunt?”
“Hoo? Are you thinking of jumping into battle like a man this time?”
“Of course! Even though I’m a member of the Ma Wang army! I’ve been itching to watch the battle where blood boils. Hahaha!”

When he was flattering and lying, Choi Hyun-seok spewed words like he had oiled his tongue.

One might even suspect that he was a con artist rather than a 격투기 [gyeoktugi – Korean martial arts] champion.

Perhaps his hidden talents were shining quickly because it was a matter of survival.

“You…!”

It was then.

Kulkan’s expression hardened as he listened to Choi Hyun-seok’s words.

It was a cold reaction that he had not expected at all.

‘Did I make a mistake? Or does he not like flattery…’

Choi Hyun-seok bit his lip tightly, feeling very nervous.

“To be a human, you’re spouting quite pleasing words! Keuhahaha!”

Kulkan laughed brightly.

“Hahahahaha! No. Compared to the great head chef, I’m just a fledgling!”
“No. You have the qualities to become a great Ma Wang army!”
“This is… thank you!”

Choi Hyun-seok scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed face.

“So I’ll entrust the vanguard to you in the next hunt!”

“Yes…?”

“The vanguard is the most honorable position. Originally, I would never give it to a newcomer… but this time is an exception.”

Choi Hyun-seok’s face hardened coldly at Kulkan’s words.

‘If it’s the vanguard, could it be…’

The soldier who was at the forefront when he first faced the Boilder came to mind.

His name was probably Morgon.

“Stop!”

Morgon, who bravely stood in front of the Boilder alone.

“Kuaaaaaaak!”

The result was becoming a bloody mess so thorough that it was difficult to find traces of him when he was alive.

‘Shibal [Korean swear word]! Absolutely not!’

Choi Hyun-seok quickly waved his hand.

“Head Chef Kulkan! Thank you very much, but I cannot receive such an honorable position!”

“Why not?”

“What kind of cheek can I, a human, take on the honorable and glorious vanguard! Besides, if a human like me becomes the vanguard, the other cooks will be dissatisfied! Please think again!”

His tongue turns like a motor.

Even if you roll in a dog poop field, this world is better.

To live, he could throw away that pride in the toilet.

‘I’m not a suicide hopeful!’

Choi Hyun-seok desperately persuaded Kulkan.

“Hmm… this is not an opportunity that comes easily. Think about it again.”

Kulkan said with a serious expression.

‘I don’t need it! You crazy bastard!’

Choi Hyun-seok shook his head urgently.

“No. No matter how I think about it, the vanguard is too much for me. It is better to yield such an honorable position to other cooks….”

At that moment when Choi Hyun-seok was speaking.

“Head Chef! It’s a monster attack!”

“What!?”

The sound of crying began to be heard.

It was a sound similar to the howling of a wolf.

“Awoo!”

“Awooooooo!”

The sound was not one.

Kulkan made a serious expression at the sound of crying coming from all directions.

“It’s the Urun pack. They’ve already surrounded us.”

Suddenly surrounded.

Choi Hyun-seok’s expression also became serious.

“Is it a dangerous situation!?”

Kulkan shook his head at Choi Hyun-seok’s question.

“No. It’s not dangerous.”
“Yes? Then why…?”

“Urun meat doesn’t taste good.”

“Ah…”

It was a truly cook-like worry.

“I can’t help it. Let’s get rid of them quickly!”

Kulkan shouted at the cooks.

“Add Urun stew to tonight’s menu!”

“Yeeee!”

“Everyone, take out your tools!”

The cooks raised their blood-soaked kitchen knives.

“Charge-!”

“Waaaaa!”

The cooks shouted with powerful shouts and ran.

Meanwhile, Choi Hyun-seok also picked up a kitchen knife that had fallen on the floor.

‘Is it finally starting?’

Although there were many twists and turns, fortunately, things went according to plan.

‘Hoo… I can do it.’

Choi Hyun-seok took a deep breath and calmed his mind.

The mob is already enough.

There are enough tanks to draw aggro [in gaming, to attract the enemy’s attention].

It would be stupid not to accept it.

‘It’s no different from being completely carried!’

Choi Hyun-seok clenched his kitchen knife tightly.

And he shouted and ran with all his might.

“Waaaaa! The last hit is mine!”

The time for 폭렙 [pokrep – rapid level up] was fast approaching.
