I received USD 500.000 as a reward.
Maybe for so millionaires, it was pocket change. But for , it was enough to make my hands shake.
I was thinking about how I should spend my earnings from the lottery... No. I an reward for catching a criminal, but I thought I should buy a house before anything else.
I was starting to get tired of living in a tiny room with Katrin.
Now that I think about it more carefully.
The first ti I saw Katrin was ten years ago. Back then, she was around 8 years old.
But now that 10 years had passed, she had beco an adult.
Even though she was still a little kid to , I felt she should have her own private room.
After all, Katrin was at a crossroads in her life.
No. I shouldn't think like this. It isn't like I'm her father or anything.
Not only am I not married, but I also don't have a girlfriend.
The truth is that the most urgent thing is equipnt. Even if I'm good at close-range combat, there's a limit to how well you can fight in real life without having any equipnt.
Think about it. It doesn't matter how good I am at putting nails in the wall. It will always be more effective to use a hamr rather than sothing like a stone.
It's also more comfortable.
The main point here is that equipnt is indeed very important. But, equipnt pieces for hunters are too expensive.
A normal armor made of steel doesn't cost that much money. You could also order one that was okay for use in dungeons.
But, once the armor had so fancy material like titanium mixed in it, the price went up.
Weapons that had a Magic Stone in them were even more expensive.
The main ingredients for ether weapons were magic stones. Then, because this had to be mixed with other ingredients, the price increased even further.
On top of that, magic stones of high purity were extrely expensive. What I want to say here is that it is out of my reach.
'Well, once I enter a guild, I'll probably be able to buy one.'
First, I need to buy whatever gear I can. Even low-class ones.
After all, he still had the two-handed sword that was gifted to him by the orc champion the other day.
Anyway, I went to a real estate agency.
Although it wasn't enough to buy a nice house, I had decided to buy one for USD 300.000.
But there was one thing that bothered .
Young man, I'm giving you a good price for this house. It really is a bargain. "
"Excuse . I'm just wondering. Do you know who I am? "
"Huh? Have you visited us previously? "
"No."
"Because of my old age, I tend to forget things."
It was the first ti we saw each other, so there was no way he would know .
But the strange thing was that everything was too quiet.
I had awakened. Not only that, I was able to catch a famous villain. I also had the record of having the most inventory.
I had done a lot of things that should've been news material. I thought South Korea would be covered by the news about . But nothing of that had happened.
'Well, it's not that I was expecting to beco famous after catching one villain.'
After closing the deal, I searched for my na on the search engines.
-Lee HyunBin
The only news available was about a famous person with the sa na who had admitted to dating soone.
-Anyang Amusent Park Dungeon
The only news that appeared ntioned that a villain nad "The Salaryman" had been captured at the Anyang Amusent Park by a hunter.
It didn't even say my na.
If it were going to be like this, why did the reporters ask so many questions? What a useless bunch of guys.
Even though it was a sha, I had nothing to worry about. After all, I'm eventually going to get fa and recognition.
Even people from the TooShin Guild are trying to scout .
If the news that I'm about to dual-awaken was spread, I would probably be able to get more money for signing off with a guild.
No. Since I'm starting from zero, I should try to get to the top once more.
I was the strongest. If I'm going to start again from the bottom, I should try to reach as high as possible.
'I should buy Katrin so food.'
Since she watches the news, she already knows that I've received a reward.
Then she'd probably demand that I buy her so food. What an arrogant child.
She's trying to live off the fact that she's helped in the other world by giving a place to stay, food, and so equipnt.
'Last ti I ordered Jajangmyeon and Tangsuyuk, she really liked it. So that should be okay, right? '
While living as a ruler in the other world, she probably got to eat a lot of different delicious foods. But the fact that she was just eating noodle-based foods saddened him a little bit.
After all, she ca to this era because of .
Well, I've received a lot of money, and my inco will probably keep growing. So I shouldn't worry about every single penny spent.
Once I entered the old, rusty room, I saw Katrin gaming with her headset on.
She was wearing a white tee and sweatpants. That's definitely the look of an unemployed ga addict. If only she had so beard on that chin, it would be perfect.
"Hey misters, can't you see that the healer will die if you don't tank properly?"
It seems like she's planning another raid.
The Katrin I rembered was a workaholic.
I rember being amazed by the sight of an eight-year-old kid stamping the reports with a seal almost as big as her face.
After seeing that, I rember saying to her that she should also act according to her age. She should also go out, play, and have so fun.
"A pig that doesn't work, doesn't have the right to eat."
She was talking about , who had been staying in the castle having fun and doing nothing else with the excuse of being the hero.
The kid that used to say rude things like that had grown up to beco a ga addict.
Have I ruined this kid? Have I failed at educating this kid?
"I'm signing off. Yes, good luck. "
It seed like the raid was over.
Katrin complained while looking at the monitor.
"Is he playing with his tongue? How can he be so horrible? What do you think about a tanker that just strengthens the weapon and doesn't get other defensive items, Old man? "
"Sotis, I forget that you're not soone from this world."
"What are you talking about? Also, oh yeah, I'm hungry. "
Just as expected.
If she isn't hungry, it would an there's sothing wrong with her.
"I think that you're eating more and more."
"Huh? What are you talking about? I hadn't had dinner yet."
Of course, you didn't. After all, it's lunchti.
Well, I was already planning to buy her sothing delicious to eat. So let's stop bothering her.
"Jajangmyeon and Tangsuyuk?
"Big size."
"Okay."
After seeing order food on my cell phone, Katrin beca excited and ca down from the chair.
"Hey, did you get the prize money?"
She knew, just as expected.
"Just because I have money doesn't an I can spend it recklessly. You're not planning to increase the amount of food you eat, right? "
She really ate a lot. A normal person usually has three als a day. In the case of Katrin, it was three tis that.
Was it because she was still growing? The most amazing thing was that she hadn't gained weight despite eating so much.
"What are you talking about? Also, what are you going to do with the money? "
"Don't lust over it. I've paid the down-paynt for a house. "
I was planning to use USD 300.000 to buy a house. With the rest of the money, I planned to buy so equipnt.
Why is this brat making such a treacherous smile?
"I knew it. I was sure that the first thing you'd buy would be a house. "
"Why?"
"Oh, that's because you need so alone ti."
"What are you talking about?"
"You need to be alone while watching docuntaries about animals that don't have fur."
Wait, those really are just docuntaries.
I downloaded those because I mistook them for sothing else.
"It's okay, I understand."
"There's nothing you need to understand. If you keep humiliating people like that, I will cancel the food order. Why? Because if you keep doing this, you'll lose my trust. And I can't eat with people I don't trust. "
Katrin seed surprised by what I had just said.
Then she grabbed her bag and took out a piece of paper from it. Was it a leaflet? Or maybe a pamphlet?
"Oh no... Has our trust been broken? Then I'll need to cancel all this equipnt I've bought. "
"What equipnt?"
Katrin took out a white piece of paper from the pamphlet. Contract for special hunting equipnt? What is this?
Ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand?
There really was a contract to buy a USD 150.000 power suit and gauntlets.
"Equipnt? Is this mine? "
"Who else? What am I going to do with hunting equipnt? "
"Where did you get the money?"
From where did a kid whose happiness consisted of eating ramyeon get enough money to buy pieces of equipnt that cost USD 150.000?
The only explanation I could think of was that she had found so gold while walking on the streets.
At my question, Katrin acted as if she were crying.
"I sold items."
"What items?"
"The items of the ga I was playing, of course."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. But wait, what kind of ga item is so expensive?
"You really seed to like that ga. Why did you suddenly sell your items?"
"I'm considering quitting that ga. I think I won't need to play anymore."
Well done. You're spending too many hours gaming. Despite your pretty face, now you look like a panda.
Even though she is very pretty, her dark circles have worsened because of video gas.
"You've officially beco a hunter, right? I've heard that the only equipnt you have is a sword that you've taken from an orc. You're the only person I know in this world. So I don't want you to get hurt."
Even though she's a video ga addict, she's also very sweet, kind, and intelligent.
I was moved by it. It's not because she bought expensive items for . Her feelings are what moved . Yeah, her feelings.
"I never knew your highness was thinking about so deeply. If there's anything else you wish to eat, please tell . "
"Hmm... I really want to eat chop suey."
"Understood."
Wait, how does she know what a chop suey is? Oh well, who cares? I ordered chop suey and kkanpunggi.
Is this why they say that it's worth raising a child?
I called the Chinese food restaurant from which I had ordered food. As soon as I ordered more food and finished paying, a number I'd never heard of called.
"Mister, there's sothing I haven't told you..."
"Hello?"
Katrin was about to say sothing when I answered the phone call.
I beckoned Karin to wait a minute. She nodded while smiling.
"Am I talking with Mr. Lee HyunBin?"
"Yes. May I know who I am talking with? "
"Hello. I'm Kim Minjeong from the gate control departnt. Since you've saved many lives and done sothing that serves as a role model for others, we wanted to award you an 'Order of Military rit.' "
"An award?"
I had never received any kind of award, even when I was still in school.
An 'Order of Military rit?' Once I receive this, I'm entitled to a privileged pension. Right? Also, I get to take a picture with an important person.
"Yes, you will need to have a previous eting with the director. Are you okay with that?"
"Yes I am."
"I'll send you a ssage later with the ti and place for the eting. If you happen to be busy at that ti, you just need to send a ssage with the ti."
"Okay, thanks."
As soon as I ended the call, Katrin happily clapped.
"Wow! Are you going to receive an award? Nice! When you were in our world, you never received any kind of distinction. "
The other world, huh? It was full of betrayal and revenge.
"So, what did you want to tell ?"
"Hmmm? Oh, it's nothing important. "
"You're not going to ask for more food, right?"
"No, it's nothing. Really. Don't worry."
Your face is full of doubts. It seems like it's sothing that you've been struggling with for a while. It's all written in your face.
"Just tell . You're eventually going to do it, so why not do it now? "
Katrin remained silent. After thinking about it for a while, she carefully opened her mouth.
"Mister. To tell you the truth, I've awakened. "
"Awaken?"
"Yes..."
What is she talking about? The only thing she's done is stayed indoors while gaming.
"Did you awaken as a food-eating god? How much more are you planning to eat? Oh my god. "
"No!"
"No!"
"Don't imitate !"
"Don't imitate !"
Katrin frowned at her fine eyebrows as if they were a piece of paper. First, I should listen to her story.
"Okay, understood. What did you awaken as? "
Since she's a person from another world, her awakening isn't sothing unreasonable. The probability of awakening increases if you frequent the dungeon, but so people are awakened in normal residential areas.
"It says level 1, Lord..."
