Civil Servant Hunter’s S-class Resignation Log – Chapter 78
"Uh, well, you said you almost died in the dungeon, so thats probably why..."
"But I don't know the reason you were able to appear here. Do you know?"
"I don't know either..."
Seong Ja-rim muttered blankly. He seemed to have lost his soul after hearing such shocking words one after another.
Good. I should take this chance to eat the sweet and sour pork (tangsuyuk) diligently.
"I wondered why Kang Se-jun was keeping such a close eye on you without even knowing you were the Administrator's Contractor, so that was the reason..."
"Of course, I didn't reveal that I'm the Contractor. He wouldn't tell me why hes looking for the Administrator or how he found out about them. I can't just blurt out my secret when I don't know his intentions. Anyway, this is why Regressors are so..."
Yoon Se-ra clicked her tongue and quickly popped a fried dumpling into her mouth. In that split second, Seong Ja-rim, who missed the last dumpling, looked dejected.
"The problem is you."
"Me? Why me?"
"Kang Se-jun said hes going to ask you next. He said Baek Hee-won told him youre just as unusual a person as he is."
"Baek Hee-won!"
Seong Ja-rims hand tightened, and his chopsticks snapped with a crack.
Right, thats exactly the feeling. Im also grinding my teeth at Baek Hee-won for the same reason!
"Ha. I guess I'll have to pretend not to know too. I don't know if I can act as well as you, though."
"Well, you don't necessarily need to cross a dangerous bridge, do you?"
Seong Ja-rim tilted his head, asking what she meant.
"Your situation is different from mine. You survived on another planet for a hundred years, so it wouldn't be strange at all if you knew about the Administrator, right?"
"Are you telling me to reveal that I'm a Returnee?"
"Just the fact that you're the sole survivor who came back alive from that dungeon makes you special. Besides, the opponent is a Regressor. Knowing about Returnees won't change much for him."
"That's true."
Seong Ja-rim nodded. If she couldn't act perfectly like Yoon Se-ra anyway, it might be better to mix truth with lies.
No, in the first place, as long as she hid the fact that Yoon Se-ra was the Administrator's Contractor, there wasn't much to lie about.
"We need to pry information out of Kang Se-jun, so throw him a few pieces of our information and see what you can find out. Like how he knows, and what he plans to do with that knowledge."
"Okay, I got it. More importantly, doesn't the Administrator say anything?"
At Seong Ja-rims cautious question, Yoon Se-ra looked up at the air.
In fact, she had asked that same question the day she met Kang Se-jun. The answer she received was the same as always.
"He didn't say anything. It means he doesn't care what I do."
The Administrators silence meant bystanders' indifference. If so, there was no reason to hesitate.
'Maybe through this, I'll find out what kind of existence the Administrator really is.'
The trigger was the voice. From the moment her voice reached her, Yoon Se-ra wanted to know more about her.
Since the Cheolwon Dungeon had disappeared, this was now her only greed.
"I didn't act like I knew you, so when he contacts you, just act natural."
"Got it. I'll try."
Hoping everything would work out well, Yoon Se-ra shamelessly finished off the last remaining piece of tangsuyuk.
Seong Ja-rim, who couldn't stop her because he had broken his chopsticks, began to wail, lamenting that he had lost both the fried dumplings and the tangsuyuk.
After the Cheolwon Dungeon incident was settled, peace returned to Korea.
Dungeons still opened occasionally, but even Rank 3 ones were rare. Thanks to the number of L-ranks increasing to three, the citizens enjoyed more peaceful days than ever.
In particular, people greatly welcomed the appearance of Seong Ja-rim, about whom nothing was known except for the name 'Headbang'.
'To be precise, they are bewildered.'
"It's a total mess."
Lying on her bed, drinking beer while browsing the community posts, Yoon Se-ra let out a hollow laugh.
Unlike Kang Se-jun, Seong Ja-rim didn't leave his information disclosure to the Association but stepped forward himself.
"Nice to meet you all! I am the Saint who restores health with holy deals and leads everyone to salvation!"
"Th-then, this person's name is..."
"It's Seong Ja-rim. Nice to meet you!"
Along with that incomprehensible self-introduction.
Watching the scene from behind the press conference stage, Yoon Se-ra had to crouch down and stifle her laughter.
The Association official in charge of the introduction looked so flustered. She was truly glad that the Support Office, not her own Management Office, was handling that task.
"Ah, a post went up on the S-rank exclusive community too."
When she opened the S-rank community window where a "NEW!" icon appeared, Yoon Se-ra nearly spat out her beer.
"...Just how many posts are there?"
Bang-nim, Headbang, Bang-nuna, Bang-hyungnim. There were all sorts of titles. Judging by the tone, it was likely Kang Han-seo, the Vice Guild Master of Yeongwon.
Yoo Su-eun had mentioned he was looking for her on the community, but she didn't expect him to post several times a day.
"I'm scared to look at the content."
She just wanted to fall asleep without knowing anything.
But just as Yoon Se-ra was about to close the community window and lie down, a message appeared.
Administrator: | )*
"...Wait. Wait a minute. Why are you peeking now? Administrator? No, right? You're not going to do it? Liz?"
However, the Administrator was faster than her hands.
Administrator: (^*)b
After clicking on the most loud-looking title, he gave a thumbs up and vanished.
"Elizabethhhhhhh!"
Why does he enjoy her suffering so much! Mean Liz, mean Liz!
"If I don't look, he'll keep opening them until I do...?"
Ugh.
In the end, Yoon Se-ra, with tears in her eyes, read the post the Administrator had opened.
Uwaaaaaah Bang-nim, can't you at least tell us your name, face, or even gender?! I can't sleep at night because I'm so curious The Guild Leader just smiles when I ask That makes it even scarier
And why didn't the notification pop up when you first entered the community? How did you even do that??? According to the WDO official report, no Ability User has ever been able to do that Please just tell me how you did it. That way, I'll believe you're not a ghost
Even when I ask the Guild Leader to just tell me that, she just looks at me with those deep eyes and smiles meaningfully, so my suspicion doesn't go away Just tell me if you're human or not! Please please please!!!!!!!!!
"You crazy people..."
So it's not just that they're curious about her identity; they want to know if she's a ghost or a human.
And why is Yoo Su-eun just smiling meaningfully without telling them? What's with the "deep eyes"?
"The Yeongwon guild is weird."
She had tried to hold onto her fantasies about Yeongwon until now, but it seemed time to let them go. Out of the 5 Great Guilds, not a single one was normal.
Comments
| Suhorang Guild Best | : Muhahahaha! Ah, Kang Han-seo, were you that curious? Aww. If you were that curious, you should have volunteered for the Cheolwon Dungeon support!
| Yeongwon Withdrawal Hope | : Did I know Headbang would show up there?
| Suhorang Guild Best | : Hehe. I know who it is~~~ Ehehehehe. Everyone who was at Cheolwon knows!
| Yeongwon Withdrawal Hope | : Just tell me if it's a ghost or a human!
| Suhorang Guild Best | : Oh, no. They are an L-rank. I'm too scared to say. What if they pass through the wall while I'm sleeping and stab me!!!
(Deleted Comment)
| Suhorang Guild Best | : Oh my. I shouldn't say things like that. Eheh. Delete, delete.
| Yeongwon Withdrawal Hope | : What, what, what was that about passing through walls?! Is it really, really a ghost?!
Yoo Su-eun was truly sincere about teasing Kang Han-seo. It was the first time Yoon Se-ra had seen her this happy since the day Han Su-eon was hit by Song Han-na.
"As expected of a Chihuahua..."
Comments
| Han Su-eon | : Stop spamming the community.
| Yeongwon Withdrawal Hope | : Ugh, Hyung-nim. Can't you at least tell me?
| Han Su-eon | : Why am I your 'Hyung-nim'? Also, Im too scared to speak.
| Yeongwon Withdrawal Hope | : ......Wait? Even Hyung-nim is scared......?
| Noeul-ssi | : Hey, stop contacting me too. Im too scared to say anything.
| Yeongwon Withdrawal Hope | : ?????? Even you, Noona?!
| Noeul-ssi | : Whos your 'Noona'? You want to die?
Ah, I see. It wasn't just Yoo Su-eun being insincere.
I expected it from Eun In-jae, but I didn't think even Han Su-eon would go along with it.
Comments
| Yeon-hui | : Oh my, I see. Im curious too ^^ Since you're a ghost, I think youd fit right in with our guild. Have you considered joining the Chasa Guild?
| Suhorang Guild Best | : Look at this crazy niche recruiting effort;;;;
What is with this person? Proposing guild recruitment even in this situation. How scary...
I heard that Jung Ho-young prioritizes Song Han-nas requests, so the overall guild operation is handled by the Vice Guild Master, Yeon-hui.
Maybe thats why. As the practical leader of an assassins' den, this person certainly had a chilling side to them.
Comments
| I Hate Cerberus | : She's scarier than a ghost, so please be careful...
"...?"
"I Hate Cerberus." This was a new ID she hadn't seen before.
Since it was someone she hadn't seen in the community, she wondered who it could be. Seong Ja-rim and Kang Se-jun weren't there. The Yeongwon S-rank member active in Busan hadn't appeared either.
Then the remaining person is...
"Oh? Is it this?"
Comments
| Yeongwon Withdrawal Hope | : ????? Who is the person above??
| Suhorang Guild Best | : Right? Is it Kang Se-jun or Seong Ja-rim? "I Hate Cerberus"who is that? Though I understand the feeling. Ugh. Ever since Cheolwon, I absolutely hate Cerberus...
| Suhorang Guild Best | : Wait, holy sht. Are you Yoon Yoon Jae-hun???*
| Yeongwon Withdrawal Hope | : What? Mr. Yoon Yoon Jae-hun? Why would he be here? Stop talking nonsense.
| I Hate Cerberus | : Hello everyone. This is Yoon Yoon Jae-hun. Nice to meet you^^
The person who appeared right as Kang Han-seo denied it was indeed the real Yoon Yoon Jae-hun. Yoon Se-ra facepalmed at her brother's ID, which she was seeing for the first time.
"Did he use that because the Cheolwon Dungeon boss looked like a Cerberus?"
She didn't know whether to laugh, find it cute, or feel sad.
Below Yoon Jae-heons post, a total frenzy broke out. Yoo Su-eun, who had fought alongside him in Cheolwon, didn't think much of it, but Kang Han-seo was different.
Yoon Se-ra scrolled past Kang Han-seos continuous praise of Yoon Yoon Jae-hun. She didn't particularly want to see someone praising her own brother.
She stopped scrolling when an ID appeared that she felt she recognized, even though it was her first time seeing it.

| The Saint | : If you write stuff like this here, you'll be scoooolded! Huh? Do you know how scary of a ghoahemhow scary Headbang is! Delete your post quickly before you get caught. They're really scary. Scary! Even I'm scared, a scary ghono, scary!
"......"
Seong Ja-rim, what on earth are you doing?
