Plague Monarch! Cha Hae-In AU

(I have a lot of thoughts about her zombie control and bugs in general)

Backstory!

At a young age she was very timid so she didn't get along well with other kids or had a lot of strong friends in her life.

She often just passed her time catching butterflies and looking a ant burrows. The little workers fascinated her a lot.

Her mother owned a flower shop and she tended to take care of some honeybees in their backyard. Cha having lived with those bees often had her hands full of them and named the queen Arsha.

When she sprined her ankle during a race, she couldn't run a lot, but liked to be more outside than inside, so her best next destination was to walk around the forest near her home. It felt tranquil and she got to carry a lot more bugs. Sometimes she even let them crawl on her arms, hands and face.

After her mother was admitted to a hospital due to her illness, the Eternal Sleep, she couldn't keep earning a lot of money by being a third rate athlete, and she felt a new power had awaken in her body, so the next best thing she got was to become a Hunter.

Of course, her life wasn't really all that lucky. She got the lowest rank from all Hunters. E rank. With a power level of 15.

It was truly a miserable existence for her during the past 3 years.

She felt as tiny as bug, sometimes even literally as she had to resort to tricks, biting and nail clawing her way out of her situations.

Three years had passed and she already passed the nickname of "The Bug Hunter" due to her her being so weak that she could easily be squashed like a Bug. But also like a Bug she managed to survive despite all the odds.

Insignificant, and yet always crawling on for survival.

But eventually, her luck had run out.

... or maybe it hadn't

D Rank Arc:

The dungeon was filled with giant bugs only found possibly in Red Gates, or maybe something worse.

Whatever this place was, she defiantly saw it as a sanctuary of sorts for all kinds of huge insects whose bodies where made from plants and tiny other bugs compiling bigger corpses.

It was due to her knowledge about insects in general that she even managed to get so far before she was finally struck down by a Bee.

However she still didn't want to die, and in her last moments, she started eating them. (Hahaha SL R refrence)

Her body slowly consuming every single bug until she could no longer go on, yet at that point she had succeeded the trial predestined to her from the start.

"Guess I'm starting from zero huh..."

Her first day was extremely confusing, the chief Woo Jin-Cheol from the surveillance division had retold the story of her being the only survivor in a deserted place, with no injuries whatsoever except for the huge wound around her heart, that no matter how hard they tried to heal, it kept still showing up. But it wasn't of any big deal either since she still survived from that. Then he asks if she reawakened, they measure her, and no, she hasn't. Thus the two assosiation members leave as fast as they came.

Cha didn't get a punishment because she thought "well everything is already weird, and I haven't had a proper workout in a long time so..."

Workout Arc!

A prerequisite to good bodies is the requirement for great workouts that enable the player to reach the very limits of her body and even surpass them!

Of course since Hae-In had already trained as an Athelete before, most of the workouts that changed daily [Endurance, Resistance, Jumps, Cardio, etc—] would be a piece of cake for her to go through.

What were the hardest parts of the daily quest where in fact, the extra dungeon that she would go through every day to test if her workout had done her favors.

Haein tended to be very embarrassed when talking to Miss Choi Yoora about why she always came covered in goo of sorts. And why she smelled so bad.

[You have killed 'Arbogenius Mantis' ]

[You have obtained: The Arbogenious Claw!]

It was bigger than what she expected, a sword made from one of the strongest claws of the monster she faced.

Huh. Guess she now has to start learning swordsmanship.

Lizards Arc!

A few changes are made from the original story obviously, for one she doesn't enter a C rank dungeon yet, especially when the enlistment was too sketchy. Later on Cha, as she is watering her plants suddenly gets called from the assosiation that they need another member ASAP because one Hunter hasn't assisted today.

So she goes and eventually meets up with new people that she feels she has heard from before, although she can't pinpoint from where.

Lee Ju-Hee is the first to talk to her, she is nice and sweet and has a very strong aroma, far stronger than the others.

When she gets close is when Haein notices that her nose has developed far more than before. At first she would often be around low rank hunters and their smell could only be picked up if she got close enough to them. Even then the smell would be as awful as someone who hasn't showered.

Now, respectfully she felt the smell of the B rank healer was like getting close to a trashcan.

'Oh god. And if I'm going to level up more, doesn't that mean I'll have to be around Hunters that smell worse???'

These powers really were to good to be true!!

Apart from the new finding, she also got to meet a swordsman Song Chi-Yul who could help her train.

And she got to level up more by fighting the dungeon boss.

Overall a normal raid with normal people and some false ranker totally not noticing her skills are way too over the top for someone who is a simple E rank.

False Ranker Match Arc!

Over the time Cha had sustained quite the popularity in the negative way, so when she was suddenly sees as more powerful than before, the eyes seemed to shift quickly with curiosity.

The strongest moment where this happened was when a false ranker had appeared in front of her and challenged her to reveal her true status.

This false ranker was none other than Nam Chae Young, an E rank Archer hidding her true potential. Fortunately it was far less than Hae-In who had just reached the strenght of a top C ranker. Nam Chae Young offers her to help Haein hide her identity if she lets Nam live and Cha is... tempted. Nam hasn't done anything bad at all but she still is a false ranker, so she asks why she is hiding her true potential and Nam replies that it's easy money for someone to enter low rank dungeons while also having the stenght enough to beat a few goblins. And if she were to awaken as a C rank she would be put into more dangerous raids which is not what she really wants to sign up for.

But, if Cha is strong, stupidly strong enough to even fight her one on one, have skills like sprint, healing and posion on her and still get rid of the monsters around them without loosing much HP (lies she needed to replenish her HP with those bottles quite a lot) thennn, they can just make a few fake raids and both of them will get what they want.

Cha hae in will get her animosity and be able to level up inside dungeons without any problems

And Nam will be able to make quick bucks by gathering the 'strike squad'she needs, since we'll, she has quite a lot of friends for being so strong.

(And Cha may be a bit irritated that she does need her help, but hey as long as she can keep her mouth shut, no problemo)

Job Change Arc!

It takes quite a lot of side quests and dungeons before Cha finally achieves Level 50.

The event suddenly happened as she was still training with Chi Yul. The old man almost managed to strike her weak spot due to Haein being distracted by the screen, making Juhee and him worry a bit.

She couldn't tell them the truth so Cha texted Nam to help her get out of the situation and creating a perfect excuse in the process ("all that lying to the assosiation really works for something!" "Unnie... =_=")

Juhee understood and said that she will wait for her until tomorrow then, since Juhee will be leaving then in the airport.

In the meantime Haein was to finish the quest In less than a day.

As she enter she found herself in a.... normal house.

Well this was confusing.

Walking through it she realized this was her old home, with everyone gone and every single plant that she and her mother had cared for completely dried and dead.

Cha followed her gut feeling to go outside of the house where the Bee colony she used to care for once lived.

There it was, the first monster and the strongest she had ever seen before:

[Queen Bee Arsha]

Hah... So an old friend.

After much trouble she managed to kill Arsha, her body composed of thousands of bees was the worst kind of enemy that Cha had ever thought to face. Had she not remembered how a Queen bee looked like and killed it, then she would have died from trying to kill every single bee.

First came her fight in a tropical zone, a huge forest where all kinds of bugs and poison lurked withing.

No matter how much she tried to stab them and kill them, they always came back. And if she sliced them in half they will grow more.

[Eat them]

[Devour them]

[Devour your enemies.]

[Become stronger with their blood.]

The memories of the double dungeon cane back, seeing as this was the only answer that she could think of, Cha began to eat the heart of each bug until her body was at its limit and the venom was paralizing her entire body.

[You can only grow so far by being human]

[You aren't the only one who wants to live]

[You aren't the only one who will crawl for scraps in order to survive]

[They called you a cockroach for outlasting Death]

[They called you a parasite for the sake of letting your mother live another day]

[They called you a bug for being so weak.]

[So, are you now? Are you really as weak as they all say?]

[Or don't you want to prove them wrong once and for all?]

And then

[Penalty quest]

[HP:1]

[Good Luck]

For four hours she had to survive against a new wave of monsters now, but these weaker than her. These were big and had many points were she could strike.

And she was small, she was fragile, a single punch— nein, scratch could instantly kill her.

[Skill: Poison activated!]

[Skill: Hunger activated!]

But she was going to survive this one.

Extra content!

Woo Jin-Cheol: I need to asks a few questions for your rank re evaluation. First: what class are you?

Cha Hae-In: *looks at status window* umm Parasite??

Woo Jin-Cheol:... what

Cha Hae-In: wait no, Plague Monarch.

Woo Jin-Cheol:...

Cha Hae-In: *looks at the detox skill and her HP bottles* Just put healer.

______________

Beru: *Bites*

Cha Hae-In: *Bites back*

The entire Korean team: ????

________________

*Cha Hae-In being called a bug*

Queresha: That one. That one. I want that one.

*Antares may just be sulking in the back who knows*

Cha Hae In and her beautiful army of Bugs~~

The way she brings them out is actually quite nasty, but efficient! By drawing blood from herlsef! (You see she is technically one with her bugs now, the ones she eats, so to summon them she has to like, let her blood fall and thus bugs come out of said blood/or are made from that)

So for most of the story Cha has to get quite beaten up before her power fully appears.

In her first S rank Dungeon, the Winter Kingdom, she managed to earn a pair of wings.

While fighting Arsha she got [Queen's Control] which was technically like Ruler's Touch but she would eventually learn to handle it in a more versatile way that let her grab on to more than two things from far away.

This is technically withing the Canon SL minus the change of Haein. So at some point she does meet the Shadow Monarch who is... working as a miner? In the Hunter’s guild??Guild???

The system is asking to not interact with the other players as much but like, what could go wrong? So Cha tries to catch his attention after lunch and — Yo why is he going to the boss dungeon???

Eh???

WAIT IS HE GONNA FIGHT IT ?????

If she didn't catch him in time the whole dungeon would have gone into chaos, so Cha decides to go tomorrow to the raid.

Who wants to a porter?

Both raise their hand.

They make a paper rock sissor game and Jinwoo wins.

Ah so long leveling up her bugs—

Not 5 minutes later and she can already feel some disaster is about to start due to the smell of the gate becoming more strong. She calls upon Chief Woo saying if she has permittion to go.

"No."

"But."

"Miss Cha it is important you do not get involved with him."

">:("

He doesn't want another S rank fight in the middle of nowhere. He just dealt with two already.

With the Wings Haein got she was able to almost be everywhere at the speed of light and fly anywhere she wanted.

She flew to Busan to meet Juhee,

then to where her mother was to bring her the water of the Echo spring forest, sadly it needs the demon bloods king.

(And jinwoo also needs the Echo spring water.)

and she even flew to Jeju to meet the ants :D

What the heck they are able to fly too?!?!

Jeju island goes... well? I mean she didn't expect she had to fight both humans and ants in one day. Goto was planning to kill them, and Haein had to suffer some Ant King trying to take her throne away from her. Not that she will ever let him.

But she had to keep fighting these two until Jinwoo finally came, defeated the with Hae-In’s help and the Koreans as well as the Japanese were able to live.

But how?

Why?

[Skill: Parasite Worm is activated]

Essentially the Japanese that died, haein managed to cure their corpses of any injuries with some generation abilities, and then with the help of the Parasite worms, she could brainwash them to do whatever she wanted.

One of these things where for the worms to give them back some sort of consciousness and keep acting like normal people until Haein needed their help.

(Unlike the summoning from her blood, these ones will just use the host they inhabit to personally do whatever task they need. They are basically just zombies but don't look the part. They dont even know it themselves at times ~)

In the whole exchange JinWoo was horrified.

Beru got his personality by absorbing Cha's blood since he bit her. Due to her regeneration she was fine but Jinwoo didn't like hearing that at all.

If Queresha is being honest, she never wanted a successor, she just wanted and needed a vessel. She still needs it too. But this one right here seems to be very strong in her own way. Her tenacity reminds her to when she was a small bug too, the weakest of her kind able to rise to this extent.

And she can't help but be proud that her vessel has come so far.

But at some point she has to choose.

[The Double Dungeon is calling you again. To where it all started.]

[Can you devour the Monarch whole this time?]

[Or will this be your deathbed?]

#solo leveling #cha hae in #queresha #plague monarch #guys i need to talk about insects they are cool #also it will also be really cool that cha gets to also be even stronger than the weakest monarch out there #cha : i love tou with wvery part of my body“ to jinwoo who thinks its just a romantic phrase until he is like #oh #ohhhhh
