You Didn't Tell Me the Start of My Transmigration Was a Gate
CH 4.1
Chapter 4 Part 1: Tension
Lying face down on the floor, it will be difficult for Kim Tae-Byung to avoid the next attack. The moment the red wasp started rotating its stinger towards him..
Huuuk!
I activated «spatial interference», then used blink1 to stab the red wasp with a kitchen knife. Even though the stinger of the wasp was quite strong, its still the place where most of its nerve is concentrated.
The red wasp, that was attacked in a sensitive area, started convulsing violently within seconds. I stabbed it again with a kitchen knife. With a huge flop, the wasp’s corpse scattered on the ground.
It fell on top of Kim Tae-byeong, who was lying on his stomach, and he got up from ground in fright.
“Aghh…ha… Miss…”
“You did well. Thanks for the hard work.”
“No, it should be me. Hehe, thanks to you, I’m still alive…”
He looked like he was about to cry. He was covered all over by bodily fluids of the red wasp. He grimaced.
***
After wiping off the bodily fluids, and having Kim Tae-Byeong change into clean clothes. We picked up our stuff, then start to set off once again. There were no monsters nearby because the red wasp just died. We barely managed to catch our breath after we hurriedly escaped to a nearby building.
“Finally….”
“Shall we spend the night around here?”
“Yeah….”
“Alright.”
Everyone replied weakly to Kwon Seong-min’s question.
Besides canned food, I brought some dry ingredients, so I started making dinner with them. I scouted the surroundings with Seol Min-jun and confirmed that there were no monsters nearby.
“Here you go.”
Song Da-jeong took my share and handed it over. I nodded at her, a bit surprised at the unexpected favor.
“Was it exhausting?”
She used a kind tone. Since Kwon Seong-min treated me like a leader, I have forgotten my current situation. I’m actually younger now, so I can understand Song Da-Jeong being concerned about my mental health.
“Everything happened suddenly… I was also very confused, but Miss Seo-ha seemed so calm… It’s quite admirable.”
She started chattering around, I just listened while stuffing myself with some porridge. You can only eat this with fresh ingredients, so I’m planning to take advantage of this now and eat a lot.
“Umm…So I brought this when I came out, I’ll give it to Miss Seo-ha.”
Song Da-jung secretly handed me a jackknife. It’s shorter than a kitchen knife, but it’s sturdy and sharp.

«Sharp Jackknife»
Grade: F
Attack Power: 10-20
Description: A sharp-edged jackknife. A deep stab can cause fatal injury.
It’s Grade F, but with a critical hit modifier. The option to hit a critical hit with an extremely low probability is quite high. However, It was still better than a kitchen knife.
“……Are you sure? Then you wouldn’t have a weapon. In this situation, having a weapon is an extra life…”
“That kitchen knife will break soon, right?”
I stared at Song Da-jeong with a bit of surprise. How did she know? My kitchen knife had already stabbed the monsters twice and its durability had worn off considerably. Even if you don’t know it from the outside, if you browse the item information It would appear like this.
[Verifying item…]
«Shabby Kitchen Knife»
Grade: F
Attack Power: 9
Description: A kitchen knife with a dull blade and missing teeth. It looks like it will break soon.
“How did you know?”
“You can see it if you look closely. I worked as a kitchen assistant for a long time, so I know a bit about knives.”
“I see.”
Seeing her smile as she said that, I thought of something else.
If she is trained well, wouldn’t it be possible to develop the unique skill «Blacksmith’s Touch»?
Being able to accurately diagnose the conditions of kitchen knives, which are considered as weapons here, clearly shows that she has a talent related to it.
“Even if I use it, it will be useless with me. Although I have high strength stats, my agility was very low.”
“Then, I’d like to thank you. Keep this kitchen knife instead. In case of emergency, one shot will be able to help you block some attacks.”
The Jackknife and kitchen knife were then exchanged. It was a one-sided deal that benefited me, but Song Da-Jeong seemed satisfied with that.
“Here you are!”
“I’ve been looking for you!”
Lee Chan-song and Kim Tae-byung joined them.
“You were looking for me?”
I asked while hiding the jackknife in my chest.
“Yes! I found out something!”
Kim Tae-byung exclaimed.
What’s going on?
“I suddenly got an alarm. Stating that my stats went up. Both defense and tenacity have gone up by 1. Is this even possible?”
Both Defense and Tenacity? That’s a pretty huge gain. Does that mean if we risk our lives fighting against monsters we’d gain something?
“Yeah. There are times when stats and ability increase base on damage contribution while killing monsters.”
“But don’t stat correction only happens while using ordinary items? Or through using magic stone or an enhancement stone…”
“It’s not the most efficient method and you also have to risk your life, but there are cases where it goes up in practice.”
This method was rarely used because they have to risk their lives everytime just for the slight increase of 1 or 2 stats.
However, there’s a reason why the abilities of hunters who survive inside a gate are so much higher compared to others. Items and mana stones may have had helped them, but the stats that went up during a battle would be way better.
“But I never heard of it that way…”
“Of course you wouldn’t. If people knew, and start risking their lives in the process it would be counterproductive.”
It would be right to say that the information was intentionally hidden. After the national hunter’s aptitude accreditation test was implemented, few people blindly enter the gate and rush to become a hunter.
