The S-Classes That I Raised

“… Hyung, are you okay?”

That guy said.
His side was ripped open and his guts were spilling out, and he was asking if I was ok.

He was on the verge of death yet his face was only a little pale.
His calm look annoyed me.
I sat on the floor and looked up at my brother without saying anything.

He was always interfering with my work.
He was better than the dirty me, so people had always told me to stay put and behave, to not hold onto his thigh.
They weren’t wrong to say that because eventually I had broken this big and reliable thigh.

However.

“……Why are you here?”

A blunt voice came out of my mouth on this old subject.

Why did you come to such a shit place for someone you don’t even know?

We were anything but close.
If we ever ran into each other, there would only be a cold breeze.
When my leg bones had been shattered, he did not come to the hospital to see me even once.
When I went to him to request for help to fix my broken leg, he coldly turned me down and had me dragged out.
That day, after being kicked out I was forced to take the money he gave me.
I have never talked to him ever since.

He laughed bitterly at my question.

“Why are you here, fuck.”

Even though I thought he was the type of person who would bite the hand that feeds, a curse still emerged from my mouth.
He had a lot of expectations on his shoulders but he still gave his life to save a useless family member.
Crazy son of a bitch.

Since when were we that friendly? If you’re dead and on the news, damn it, I’ll just swear a few times and then forget about it.

But what did you do?

I was angry.
I was angry and irritated by my patheticness, not him.

Yes, I’ve always been an ugly older brother.
Even in this situation, I’m still a person with a garbage brain filled with complaints and an inferiority complex.

So just let me die in a corner of a Dungeon! Why did you come?!

“Listen to me, hyung.”

That guy said, avoiding my question.

“Lauchitas falls asleep within five-hour cycles.
If you hide for an hour, it will eventually go to sleep.
Then you just have to get out through the entrance.
I’ve taken care of all the lesser monsters so as long as you do not touch Lauchitas, you will be safe.”

He then held out a small blue stone to me.
It was a gatestone that provided a way out of a closed dungeon.
It can only be used near the entrance and is a very valuable item that could only be used one time by one person.

I did not take the gatestone and pretended to be uncaring.

“Good for you.
Now use it.”

He laughed at my words.

“I’ve got mine.
I won’t use this.”

…Now that you’re one of the best Hunters in Korea, you’re carrying several of those precious gatestones.
I reluctantly accepted the gatestone.

It was only then that he took his eyes off me and looked at his wounds.
Without the strength of his skills, he would have long collapsed and died.

“……You have gatestones, do you have anything like elixirs?”

“No, I don’t.
I have a small potion, but I don’t think that’s going to work.
Lauchitas has a powerful curse on its claws.”

He laughed again.
I didn’t know how to laugh with him.

But that kind of calmness soon reached its limit.
His knees bent and his body fell forward.
I reflexively caught the upper half of his body.

The smell of blood that I hadn’t felt so far stung my nose.
It was awful.

I thought I got used to the smell of blood as I walked around the dungeon but it brought me to my knees.
I felt sick.

I was tempted to throw away the body in my arms and flee.

“……hey.”

I could hardly hear the sound of breathing.

There was no answer.

I couldn’t laugh.

“……are you dead?”

My voice was shaking.
It’s none of my business whether this asshole dies or not.

“Han Yuhyun.
Are you dead?”

Damn, this stupid son of a bitch.
I’d be damned if I survived by myself.
I’m sure that there were a lot of guys who would want to burn the scumbag who killed his younger brother.

“Y
