These Lunatics are Obsessed With Me

“Uwaaaa!!!!!!!!!”

Brrrmmm.

The loud sound of the motorboat’s engine starting rang in my ears, and the motorboat  ran through the strong waves, shaking violently as if it was about to capsize.

My stomach was churning like crazy. I held on, desperately clutching at the small handle on the boat as if it were a lifeline.

Crazy, this is crazy! They didn’t tell me that riding the boat would be such a rollercoaster ride!

Song Yul’s calm face flashed before my eyes, and then a shattered wave hit me.

This is the worst. Really. I might die of a heart attack before I even enter the dungeon.

The boat, which had been strengthened with an item, traveled across the rough surface of the sea with ease, but it did not protect me from the waves and wind.

“Hahaha, we’re almost there!”

The boat pilot laughed and spoke loudly. I actually couldn’t hear it very well because the other noises were too loud, but he probably said something like that.

“What the… Ugh!”

When I tried to protest, I almost bit my tongue and decided to keep my mouth shut because of the rocking of the boat. The salty sea water hit me as if mocking me.

Things like this, things like this are simply not mentioned in the novel! It’s a scam. I’ve been scammed!

I wanted to go to the author and grab them by the collar. I mean, why did they omit all of this information? To make fun of me? Are they crazy? An author who lacks detailedness? Preposterous!

“Now, all we have to do is cross over that wave!”

“Wh–what…!”

I opened my eyes wide when the pilot’s words registered in my head.

He’s going to cross over that wave? Is this man sane?

The waves in front of me were big enough for this little boat to sail through. But this crazy pilot started accelerating the motorboat.

“Fuck, this is crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Hahahaha!”

It was truly madness. I can only describe this boat ride with the word ‘madness’. Accompanied by the pilot’s hysterical laughter, the boat launched towards the surging waves.

“Uwaaaaa!!!!!!!!”

I should have just jumped off the deck an hour ago. If I had known that such a hellish ride awaited me, I would have swam away!

However, the moment my scream collided with the giant wave, it instantly perished and disappeared due to the raging winds and currents. Seeing the boat almost capsize, I just closed my eyes tight. Wow, I guess this is where I’m gonna die. Just as I was about to give up on everything.

“Ugh…!”

“Calm down.”

Something hard wrapped around my shoulder. I don’t know whose it was, but it was a heavy, firm hand that caught me. I struggled and could barely open my eyes as the boat passed through the waves.

“Th-thank…”

“…”

Kang Yoo-hyun glanced at me with indifferent eyes. He put strength into his hand that was wrapped around my shoulder without saying anything. I thought I was okay now, so I was going to ask him to remove his hand, but the shaking of the boat was unusual this time.

“No, what is this…”

“Come on, this is the last time!”

“Fuck the last time! Turn the boat, damn it!”

The boat went to a place it shouldn’t have gone. What I saw after barely breaking through the waves was a cliff. There was a cliff in the middle of the sea, this place is also crazy and nonsensical. What’s even crazier was the pilot who saw the cliff, got excited and started increasing the speed of the motorboat. This madman!!

“Turn the boat, damn it!”

“Haha, we’ve come to the right place. Hold on tight!”

“Fuckkkk!!!!!!”

The boat scuttled to the cliff. The seawater was being sucked into a hole that could barely fit a small boat. The boat headed exactly to that point, and in an instant, it fell off the cliff.

***

“Yi Jin-ah.”

“…Ugh.”

“Yi-jin-ah, are you okay?”

“Go… away, yuck.”

The boat capsized and I felt nauseous.

My last memory was sitting on the boat that fell off the cliff which then overturned midair, and my body that fell from the boat was washed away by the sea.

Somehow, I woke up fine. I just felt nauseous with the salty water filled up to the end of my throat, as if I just drank from a bowl of seawater.

I heard Eden talking to me constantly, but I couldn’t deal with him. I could barely look up after I had vomited everything inside.

“…Uh.”

There was quite a spectacular view. There was a constant stream of water falling down from above and dyeing the scene before my eyes white. I looked up at the stream blankly.

Above, where the water fell, a strangely familiar blue light shone through a hole. I murmured softly, wondering if that could be—

“…Dungeon Gate?”

It was small enough for a boat to pass through. The water continued to fall down from the entrance. Don’t tell me I fell over there? Don’t tell me this is inside the dungeon?

Someone approached me and tapped me on the back, overshadowing such doubts.

“Hyung, are you all right?”

“Uhh…”

“I was surprised when hyung fainted and didn’t wake up for a while.”

“Kkyuu, kkyu…”

Kang Soo-hyun clicked his tongue and continued to pat my back, and Yong-sik also approached and pressed my hand with his paw.

Come to think of it, I couldn’t take care of Yong-sik because I wanted to live. Maybe it was harder for him than me. I hugged Yong-sik while groaning.

“Ugh, Dad is sorry. Are you hurt?”

“Kkyau, kkya!”

Yong-sik shouted energetically at my question. He probably meant that he was fine. As I patted his head proudly, Kang Soo-hyun, who was standing beside me, spoke curtly.

“Maybe it’s because he has wings, he can fly off on his own.”

“…”

Wings… Yes, Yong-sik had wings. That’s why he didn’t get seasick like me and why he didn’t get a mouthful of seawater.

I looked at Yong-sik proudly. He must have worked really hard with those little wings to get here. Yong-sik must be a genius.

“Ah, Well done. My Yong-sik, you’re so brave.”

“Kkyaau!”

“…”

As I dealt with Yong-sik, my nausea subsided a little. As I looked around, not many people had arrived yet.

Sswaaa–1

The stream continued to cascade in from the dungeon entrance that opened up above. Maybe other people will fall from there too. It must have been an unsightly scene when I fell. I turned my head with mixed feelings. I was now at a seaside covered with soft sand. This must be the first area I saw on video, the Murlocs area.

Areas 1 and 2 are connected to each other without a warp gate. If we keep moving while defeating the Murlocs on the seashore, we will find a cave which is the second area, the domain of the Nagas.

Since this is still the entrance to the dungeon, it’s quiet and calm since the mobs haven’t come out yet. Plus, it feels like a vacation spot, it gives off the illusion that the hunter came to play instead of fight..

“It’s about time the next boat came…”

Another Valkyrie member muttered beside me. The whirlpool on the way here is so rough that several boats cannot leave at once. It took quite a while for all the raid personnel to gather due to the time difference between each of them coming one by one.

After us, other people will come in boats.  It’s time for the core members to come.

While I was thinking about it, the light from the dungeon entrance on the ceiling was getting brighter. The flowing stream also gradually became stronger.

“It’s coming…!”

As soon as someone shouted, someone fell down from the gate, breaking through the stream.

No, a person? It’s a person? Isn’t the boat coming down first?

I looked at the peculiar scene in bewilderment, and the person who fell through the stream landed in the water. No, the person didn’t land in the water, but they were running to the seaside kicking the surface of the sea without sinking into the water.

Crazy, what a monster. As I was just watching in dismay, the crazy person running towards me shouted at me.

“Hunter Han Yi Jin!”

“…Sung Yoo-bin?”

That bulldozer-like monster was surprisingly Sung Yoo-bin. Sung Yoo-bin, who ran with a dark red flame flying like a haze around her, narrowed the distance in an instant and reached me.

“Hunter Han Yi-jin! Are you hurt?”

“Yes? Ah, I’m fin– Ugh!”

“My God, you’re all wet! Did no one take care of you?”

Sung Yoo-bin, who called my name, kept babbling on, and quickly grabbed my arms. That alone kept me stuck in place, I could only move lightly as Sung Yoo-bin shook my arms around.

“Please let me go first.”

“I’m sorry. Hunter Han Yi-jin. I should have come with you.”

Sung Yoo-bin, who spoke as if she was sorry, frowned. It’s nice that she’s worrying about me, but I think my arms will break if she doesn’t adjust her strength. She was a tactless, S-class hunter!

The next moment, Sung Yoo-bin, who was holding my hand, was startled and stepped back. I was finally released from Sung Yoo-bin’s hands and someone wrapped their arm around me. At the same time, a cold voice sounded in my ear.

“Piss off.”

“…”

It was Kang Yoo-hyun. Normally, Kang Yoo-hyun doing this would have given me goosebumps, but right now, I’m a little happy. It’s much better than having both arms being squashed. I sighed inwardly. But somehow, the atmosphere between the two was unusual. I looked at Kang Yoo-hyun and Sung Yoo-bin anxiously.

T/N: Sorry late updated. Really been a hectic month for me. I’ve started job hunting and finally got a job. So I’ll start working soon this month and hopefully I can still keep up with the update (sporadic). Thank you for the patience and love y’all
