Summary
- “Well, the appraised value is around 30 billion Won. But, once it’s finished and our Guild starts occupying it, the value should rise up even higher, hyung-nim. Ah, right! If you need those signed documents, should I fax them to you?”
“Hold on.”
Jin-Woo covered the mouthpiece of the phone with his hand and asked Ahn Sahng-Min.
“If you still can’t believe it, why don’t you speak to him personally?”
Ahn Sahng-Min wiped the cold sweat forming on his forehead and shook his head.
“Hey, Jin-Ho? It’s fine. Thanks. I’m hanging up now.”
- “Okay, hyung-nim. See you later.”
After ending the call, Jin-Woo noticed that the look on Ahn Sahng-Min’s face had changed completely now.
Indeed, Ahn Sahng-Min’s eyes were trembling non-stop.
‘Even before their Guild is established, Yujin has promised 30 billion as the contract signing fee?? And then, the second son of Chairman Yu Myung-Hwan continues to use honorifics, too?’
Ahn Sahng-Min was now deeply mired in uncertainty and confusion.
“That, that, that is… I, I should say that, such a big amount is, well, uh, well beyond my ability to… If you just give me some time, I can speak to the higher-ups in the Guild and then….”
Jin-Woo abruptly cut him off.
“In that case, our discussion ends here.”
Ahn Sahng-Min became speechless.
His head drooped slightly, as his head was quickly filled with the reason for this failure.
‘In the end, we simply didn’t have enough information.’
Being too hasty brought about this failure.
After he picked up on the scent of this huge jackpot, he got too excited and forgot to move in a more cautious and prepared manner.
If he had learned of what Yujin’s offer was like, get the full backing of his Guild, and go about his business step by step, then…..
‘For now, I need to report this to the Guild Master.’
If he was a Hunter that Chairman Yu Myung-Hwan was willing to put forward 30 billion, then perhaps his value could be over 50 billion, no, 100 billion, instead.
It was not too late.
‘If I get the promise of the Guild’s full backing, dig out all the information on Seong Jin-Woo, and come out swinging even harder, then…’
It was at this point that Jin-Woo’s voice could be heard.
“I want to ask you about something.”
Ahn Sahng-Min raised his head.
Jin-Woo was no longer smiling.
The weather had warmed up nicely with the hint of Spring nowadays, yet for some reason, the surrounding air felt chillier than usual.
Gulp.
Just as Ahn Sahng-Min swallowed some dry saliva, Jin-Woo asked him a question with a low, heavy voice.
“How many people know about me?”
“It’s… It’s only me for the time being. I was too anxious to scout you so I didn’t even stop to report to my superiors yet.”
Actually, there was one more person. Hyun Ki-Cheol, his subordinate but also his right-hand man.
Ahn Sahng-Min concealed the presence of Hyun Ki-Cheol for the time being. He was worried that Jin-Woo might get real unhappy if he learned that there were two people instead of one.
However, Jin-Woo voice became even colder and threatening than before.
“For the sake of trust, let’s not lie to each other, shall we?”
Ahn Sahng-Min began panicking visibly now.
‘What is this? Did he obtain some information on us before coming here?’
If that were the case, then things might get worse if he continued to argue that he was the only one. He didn’t even want to imagine what would happen next.
‘I gotta be honest here.’
The relationship between a Hunter and a Guild was pretty similar to that of an entertainer and the talent agency.
They might not be able to sign a contract right now, but by maintaining a good relationship, anything could happen in the future.
At the bare minimum, he should not cause friction with another Hunter. That was one of the iron-clad rules of the Second Division.
Ahn Sahng-Min quickly opened his mouth.
“Actually, one of my subordinates also knows about this matter. I’m telling you the honest truth.”
Jin-Woo nodded his head.
‘Indeed….’
It was as he suspected.
All these things, there were too many for one person to handle – investigating him, observing him, and calling him, too.
Most importantly, what made Jin-Woo sure of this fact was the timing of the phone call. As soon as he was near his place, Ahn Sahng-Min called him with such excellent timing.
‘Meaning, someone was waiting near my home and called him as soon as I showed up.’
This man wanted to meet Jin-Woo as soon as possible but it’d be bad if Yu Jin-Ho found out in the process, after all.
‘Still, it’s not the whole White Tiger Guild.’
He could tell from that earlier reaction, back when he was talking about 50 billion Won. Ahn Sahng-Min was so openly flustered when an amount of money he couldn’t handle was brought up.
If he was being ordered around by the upper management, then he’d at least try giving them a call after hearing that amount, didn’t matter whether that amount was even feasible or not.
That was why Jin-Woo suspected that a small team consisting of two, maybe three, people were involved here, and lo and behold, the person in charge confessed to it being only two.
‘What a relief.’
Jin-Woo definitely didn’t want to complicate the matter any further than necessary. Two people were within his ability to control.
If he left them alone like this, no doubt they would continue to harass him down the line. That was why there was a definite need to warn the other party, back off him for good.
Jin-Woo opened his mouth.
“Actually, I also refused Yujin’s offers.”
Jin-Woo’s explosive, unexpected revelation!!
Ahn Sahng-Min was even more shocked than before.
“Pardon me?!”
It was right at this moment, Jin-Woo suddenly vanished from the spot.
“What?!”
Ahn Sahng-Min hurriedly stood up from his chair.
He quickly scanned the interior of the cafe, but couldn’t spot Jin-Woo anywhere.
‘What was that?? Could he have moved faster than the eye can see?!’
Ahn Sahng-Min was too flustered and realised that someone had grabbed his shoulder from the side quite belatedly.
“Heok.”
All the hair on his back stood up at once.
“Don’t turn around.”
A cold voice came from his side.
Jin-Woo, who had been sitting across him until then, had vanished without making a sound and was now standing right next to him, still not visible to the naked eye.
‘S-Stealth??’
Cold sweat drops formed on Ahn Sahng-Min’s forehead.
‘Could…. could he be…. angry at me….?’
Hunters were, in general, monsters.
He knew this well, because he got to observe them from a close vantage point every single day.
That was why he was always super-respectful towards them.
‘Did me spying on him and following him around cause an issue here? Should I have requested protection from the Guild before coming here? No, hang on, no one knows what his ranking is, so how can I request protection, then….?’
His thoughts became messy and his heart pounded relentlessly. Even the sound of him swallowing his saliva echoed around too loudly in his ears.
Jin-Woo spoke, almost in a hushed whisper.
“Sit down slowly. I don’t want to scare you.”
Ahn Sahng-Min slowly nodded his head.
‘But, you’re plenty scary enough already…’
He then slowly sat back down on his chair. Jin-Woo revealed himself and settled down right next to him.
‘Right…’
Jin-Woo’s words of not wanting to scare Ahn Sahng-Min sounded about right. His eyes when he said he wanted to ask something, were cold enough to chill the surrounding air.
If Ahn Sahng-Min had to stare into those eyes while listening to Jin-Woo’s words, then he might have experienced what his heart falling to the pit of his stomach felt like.
‘You’re being considerate towards me, is that it?’
Of course, he couldn’t get the thoughts of Jin-Woo being a very scary guy out of his head.
In the meantime, Jin-Woo opened his mouth.
“The reason why I refused Yujin’s offers is simple. I’m not planning to join any Guilds at the moment.”
Two men conversed while staring forward, never locking their eyes once.
“S-so that’s how it was.”
“Also….”
Jin-Woo took a second before continuing on.
“I don’t want to see the number of people who know about me increase.”
What he wanted here was rather simple.
He didn’t want to join a Guild, and he didn’t want anyone talking about him.
Ahn Sahng-Min quickly understood those points.
However, there was one thing he was still curious about.
“T-then, why are you still being accompanied by Mister Yu Jin-Ho?”
“He’s helping me out on some personal matters. He’s the only one who knows about my Re-Awakening. Also, I believe he’s a friend that I can trust. That’s why I asked him for a favour. And so….”
Jin-Woo’s voice became heavier still.
“So, if I start hearing things about me, can I assume that it came from you, Chief Ahn Sang-Min, or your subordinate?”
It’d been a while since Jin-Woo stopped grabbing his shoulder, yet Ahn Sahng-Min felt like he was being crushed by the younger man’s words.
‘He’s not putting on airs, either.’
Why did he feel this way?
Ahn Sahng-Min was so sure of the fact that Jin-Woo was fully capable of harming him.
‘My gut instinct when evaluating people is almost always right.’
Jin-Woo survived several devastating, horrifying incidents.
Wasn’t there a saying about burying the matters of the dungeon inside a dungeon? No one knew just what kind of things Jin-Woo did inside those dungeons.
‘On top of that, this man possesses the Stealth skill, too…..’
Dealing with the Stealth skill was incredibly tough. If the skill holder decided to commit a crime, he’d be able to off anyone without so much as leaving behind a single clue.
Things like CCTV, security guards and alarm system would all become utterly useless against such a person.
A thick strand of cold sweat rolled down the side of Ahn Sahng-Min’s forehead.
‘Who knew he could use Stealth….?’
Excellent abilities, and even a rare skill, too.
It was not for nothing that Yujin came up with an offer of 30 billion.
‘They aren’t ones to start a losing business deal, indeed.’
Thump, thump.
Ahn Sahng-Min’s heart continued to beat in excitement even though he was trembling in fear. His lips parted with great difficulty.
“I-I’ll never talk about this matter ever again. I’ll make sure that Ki-Cheol… No, my subordinate will keep his mouth shut as well.”
Keeping everything hush-hush was something Ahn Sahng-Min also wanted, too. Heck, he probably would’ve requested it himself first!
An excellent Hunter not affiliated with anyone!
There was no reason to increase the competition by spreading the rumour around, nor did Ahn Sahng-Min want to share the glory and recognition by telling other people, either.
‘Honestly, though, the biggest reason being I’m too scared of him and don’t want him as my enemy….’
“I’ll trust you, Chief Ahn.”
With those words, the presence beside Ahn Sahng-Min disappeared completely. He quickly took a look around.
It was as if Ahn Sahng-Min fell out of a different dimension, since the atmosphere inside the cafe was rather serene.
“Huh…..”
Ahn Sahng-Min remained speechless. He could only pat his pounding chest down.
It was here that Hyun Ki-Cheol ran into the cafe.
He’d been staring at the two men through the window from the outside, and as soon as Jin-Woo completely disappeared from the view, hurriedly entered the cafe to check up on his superior officer.
“Chief!”
Ahn Sahng-Min’s complexion was poor. Hyun Ki-Cheol asked, his voice full of worry.
“What happened? Did it not work out with Seong Jin-Woo?”
Ahn Sahng-Min’s trembling hands managed to pull out a cigarette. While sliding it between his lips, he made his reply.
“Hey, Ki-Cheol-ah… I think, we just ran into a far bigger jackpot than our initial estimates.”
He definitely had to scout that man.
That was the only line of thought in his head. Thankfully, there was still a chance.
It was then, Hyun Ki-Cheol lightly grasped Ahn Sahng-Min’s wrist.
“Uhm…. Pardon me, Chief.”
Ahn Sahng-Min raised his head just before he could light the cigarette up.
“Yeah?”
Hyun Ki-Cheol took a look around, then cautiously whispered.
“This is a no smoking zone.”
Ahn Sahng-Min slowly crushed the cigarette.
“You dumba*s…..”
As soon as he got home, Jin-Woo summoned his Status Window.

‘Well, no wonder people are beginning to notice me.’
From 27 to 39. His level had jumped up by 12.
This would be the first time that his level saw such an explosive rise since he entered the Hapjeong instant dungeon back when he was still a level one. He came out of there as level 17.
Back then, his level was low, so the levelling speed was high. But now, that wasn’t strictly true.
This just went to show how many dungeons he cleared in a short space of time.
‘It’s been four days since I started clearing dungeons with Yu Jin-Ho. And we conquered nine of them in only four days….’
Not only that, they were nine C-ranked dungeons, too.
Rank C dungeons were the highest difficulty a freelancer team could clear on their own.
What a crazy clearing speed this was.
This was the worst possible situation, a catastrophe, for other Hunters found in this area that needed rank C dungeons to make a living.
Yu Jin-Ho, the only witness to the proceedings, was getting more and more astonished by how faster Jin-Woo was clearing each dungeon.
Well, the higher his level was, the easier it got to clear a dungeon, after all.
Nine dungeons cleared and 12 level ups. Clearing one dungeon was almost as good as levelling up more than once.
And he still had 10 more raids to go.
By the time he finished all 19 raids, as he had agreed with Yu Jin-Ho, his level should shoot past 45.
He won against a rank B Hunter back when his level was in the mid-twenties. He couldn’t even begin to fathom just how strong he was now.
‘My heart… it’s beating really fast.’
Jin-Woo placed his hand on his chest, near his heart. He sensed it pounding real fast in excitement.
Thump, thump!
The sensation of getting stronger every day was one heck of an enjoyable ride.
He would’ve never imagined such a thing happening to him in the past.
….Things like, entering the Gates and clearing the dungeons would be this much fun.
‘Well, I can sense myself getting stronger all the time, after all.’
As his level went up…
As his Stat values rose up….
He could directly feel how much he had changed through hunting monsters.
‘Hunting monsters, is it…..’
He felt like a real Hunter now. The word ‘hunting’ no longer sounded like a foreign concept to him.
Wasn’t there a certain saying that went something like ‘finding the next place to hunt is just as important to a hunter as the moment he hunts?’ (TL: Again, ‘hunter’ with a lower case ‘h’. It’s the literal hunter, not monster-hunting Hunters.’)
His next goal was already set.
‘…..The Demonic Castle dungeon.’
He was a level 21 back then, wasn’t he?
He had grown by nearly 20 levels since the day he first set foot in that mysterious tower-like dungeon.
He thought that perhaps now, he was ready to tackle that place once more. However, just from recalling that gatekeeper monster, Cerberus, he grew very cautious about taking another step in that place.
‘What if some crazy monsters that I can’t handle jump out in droves as soon as I enter?’
Goosebumps broke out all over his skin.
If he could get away from there using the ‘Stealth’ skill, that would be great, but still, he had to consider the possibility of failing to do so.
Even if he got lucky ten times, just a single mistake could cost him his life; that was the life of a Hunter.
So, he needed to be sure.
He needed to be sure of being strong enough to handle a group of monsters as strong as Cerberus.
‘Cerberus’s name was in red letters, right?’
He now knew that the difficulty of killing a monster was reflected in the colour of its name.
With the exception of the Demonic Castle, he had yet to run into a monster with a red name.
The instant dungeons he’d been to with the random box keys were all populated with low-ranked monsters most of the time.
It was the same story with the Mirae department store, too.
But, what was going on here?
‘What is this?’
When he thought that he hadn’t encountered a single monster with a red name besides the one in the Demonic Castle, he kind of felt like he overlooked something just now. It was as if he had forgotten something crucial.
‘Does this mean I have run into other red-name monsters besides the Cerberus?’
But, how could that be?
He fought the Cerberus when he was level 21 and nearly died. So, if he fought another one before that, then he should’ve been pushed to the brink of death, too….
“…..Ah!”
A loud gasp leaked out from his mouth.
Indeed, there was one event where he did run into red-name monsters and almost died.
‘The penalty quest!’
The centipedes he saw back in that nameless desert all had red names.
[Poison-Fanged Giant Desert Centipede]
It’d been a while ago, and he ran into them rather unexpectedly, so his mind was not really thinking of them as monsters at this point.
That was why it took some time for him to remember.
‘If I can kill those centipedes with ease, then….!’
Then, he’d be sure of conquering the Demon’s Castle as well.
Since there was more than one centipede there, he should be able to find out whether it was okay for him to fight against many at the same time, too.
The obvious issue was how to go back to that place….
‘Is there no other way besides not doing the Daily Quest?’
The amount of Stat points he got as rewards was the same regardless of it being a Penalty Quest or a Daily Quest.
Which meant that he wouldn’t lose out too much at the end of the day.
‘Let’s go to the Penalty Zone tomorrow.’
To think, he’d deliberately not do the Daily Quest just so he could enter the Penalty Zone….
It was a rather funny thing when he thought about how close to death he was the first time he ran into those centipedes.
“I wonder, will they give me experience points and loot when I kill them?”
A smile automatically spread on his lips.
It was then.
Jin-Woo’s senses picked up on the presence of a person climbing out from the elevator stopping at the end of the hallway, followed by the light footsteps of a female.
He was well familiar with them.
‘It’s Jin-Ah.’
Currently, it was 11 PM. About the time his little sister came home.
Jin-Woo got up from his seat and headed to the door before Jin-Ah could rummage through her pockets to find her keys.
Click.
“Oh~~.”
Jin-Ah playfully exclaimed out in admiration.
She used to get so surprised every time he opened the door without a warning but now, she didn’t even pretend to get shocked anymore.
Well, a human was supposed to be a very adaptable creature, and here was the irrefutable proof.
“I’m home~.”
“Welcome back.”
Jin-Ah greeted him with a bright smile and trotted to her room. Jin-Woo closed the door and locked it, before turning around to hear….
“…Oppa.”
Jin-Ah peeked her head out from the doorway to her room.
“Do you have free time this week?”
“What’s up?”
“My homeroom teacher is doing one of those parent-teacher meeting things. If you can’t make it, well, it’s fine too.”
Jin-Ah looked kind of anxious, as if her homeroom teacher had ‘asked her nicely’ or some such.
‘The parent-teacher meeting, huh….’
Jin-Ah was already a high-school senior, meaning that school life should be getting pretty hectic right now. Jin-Woo had half a mind to come up with an excuse and say he didn’t have time to go, but what an unfortunate timing this was, there was this one day where he had nothing scheduled.
‘D*mn you, Yu Jin-Ho. Utterly useless…..’
Jin-Woo deliberated for a while, before answering her.
“Thursday.”
“Really? Thanks, oppa!”
Jin-Ah’s expression brightened up in an instant. She looked as if she’d run to him for a bear hug, so Jin-Woo hurriedly waved his hands around.
“Che.”
Jin-Ah glared cutely at him and closed the door behind her.
Soon, a soft groan escaped from Jin-Woo’s mouth.
“Fuu….”
From going on raids without a break to visiting the penalty zone, and now, a parent-teacher meeting the day after tomorrow, too.
It seemed that the rest of his week would remain quite busy.
Part 8. Class Change Quest
Jin-Woo left home early in the morning.
His schedule for the day was packed, to say the least.
Yu Jin-Ho had booked four Gates for the day, thinking that they should do tomorrow’s quota today instead.
‘Well, if we consider the speed of clearing a dungeon….’
….It’d not be too hard to clear four or five dungeons in a single day.
Of course, it was pretty rare to see that many rank C Gates opening up at the same time in the same district. So, they were rather fortunate today.
With light, airy steps, he arrived at the entrance of the apartment building. However, he couldn’t spot Yu Jin-Ho’s van waiting for him in the usual spot, the front of the entrance.
Also, Jin-Woo sensed a suspicious presence as well.
“Tsk.”
He might have dismissed it offhand were it not for the events of the night before. So, he wasn’t going to overlook this.
‘And I clearly warned him, too…..’
Jin-Woo immediately discovered a man in a business suit hiding around the corner of the building. The man was busy looking into his watch and didn’t seem to have sensed Jin-Woo’s approach.
Jin-Woo addressed the man right in front of his nose.
“Excuse me.”
The man flinched grandly and jumped up really high.
“Seo-Seong Jin-Woo Hunter-nim!!”
He looked like he’d seen a ghost or something.
‘Well, I hid my presence for that purpose, anyway.’
Jin-Woo tutted inwardly and spoke up.
“You’re from the White Tiger Guild, yes?”
“Pardon me? Ahh, yes, I am. My name is Hyun Ki-Cheol from the Second Division of the White Tiger Guild.”
The Chief calling himself Ahn Sahng-Min or some such said last night that he was working with a subordinate and this guy must’ve been him.
“It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Hunter-nim.”
Hyun Ki-Cheol studied Jin-Woo’s mood while cautiously extending his right hand.
It seemed like that he wanted a handshake, but obviously, Jin-Woo wasn’t interested. When Jin-Woo simply glared at the man without saying anything, Hyun Ki-Cheol withdrew his hand with a slightly reddened face.
“Didn’t I clearly say last night that I’m not planning to join any Guild for the time being?”
Hyun Ki-Cheol hurriedly waved his hand around.
“Oh, no. I’m not here because of that.”
He then presented a tumbler held in his other hand.
“What’s this?”
Jin-Woo asked while studying the colourful liquid contained within the semi-transparent tumbler. Hyun Ki-Cheol pushed his chest forward and proudly spoke.
“It’s vegetable juice. I’ve prepared it personally, so you don’t have to worry about its quality!”
“…..”
Hyun Ki-Cheol’s hand continued to push the tumbler forward. Jin-Woo had no choice but to accept the tumbler and asked again.
“So, like, have you been waiting since the early dawn just to give me this juice?”
“Yes. Well, even if you’re a Hunter, you should still look after your health, you know!”
Jin-Woo’s puzzlement over why would the White Tiger Guild be worried about his health lasted only for a couple of seconds.
Because, Hyun Ki-Cheol bowed his head deeply and with a bright smile, quickly walked away.
“See you again another time, Hunter-nim!”
Jin-Woo slowly shook the tumbler at Hyun Ki-Cheol as the latter waved his hand.
“…..What a funny guy.”
After Hyun Ki-Cheol had disappeared from the view, Jin-Woo looked at the tumbler.
He once heard stories about a certain ‘Insurance King’ who gave out bottles of yoghurt to his customers and bought their goodwill that way, but well, that man Hyun Ki-Cheol should be the very first Guild employee ever to personally make veggie juice and deliver it.
‘Well, I did accept it so I can’t even throw it away now, can I?’
That man wouldn’t have been stupid enough to try it, but if he did pour some kind of poison in the juice, Jin-Woo’s detox buff should take care of that, so no worries there.
Should he at least give it a go and have a taste, then?
Slurp.
He used a straw stuck in the tumbler and took a long sip, before his eyes opened wider.
‘Hey, it’s tasty.’
It was here that he heard a familiar voice calling out to him.
“Hyung-nim!”
He turned around to see Yu Jin-Ho walking towards him.
Yu Jin-Ho still had that bright face as usual, but he was also pointing in the direction where Hyun Ki-Cheol disappeared to with his chin.
“Hyung-nim, who was that just now? He’d been standing here for a while, you know?”
Jin-Woo’s reply was pretty simple.
“An insurance salesman.”
“Aha.”
Being a positive-minded guy, Yu Jin-Ho accepted that explanation right away. Jin-Woo looked around the vicinity and asked.
“Where’s your van?”
If he saw Hyun Ki-Cheol standing here, that meant Yu Jin-Ho had arrived quite a while ago, too. But strangely enough, the kid’s favourite van was nowhere to be seen.
“I parked it way over there, hyung-nim.”
“But, why?”
“Well, you know there’s been a series of unsolved homicides taking place around these parts, yes? I’m not from around here and people were beginning to suspect me and stuff, so….”
Jin-Woo nodded his head.
Those murders were brought up frequently on the local news lately.
The victims were mostly young women. There had been two murders this month already.
And then, there was an unknown black van parked right out in front of the apartment building. Of course, the residents would become fearful and anxious.
Slurp, slurp….
It was here that the veggie juice was finally finished. Jin-Woo lightly shook around the empty tumbler before walking towards where the van was supposedly parked.
“Let’s go.”
“Okay, hyung-nim!”
Lizardmen came out in this dungeon.
As their ‘name’ indicated, they were literally bipedal lizards. They walked on two legs, wielded weapons, and even resorted to flinging around magic attacks, too.
The number of Lizardman Mages was low, though. However, they were rather cumbersome to deal with in return.
For instance…
Two balls of flames erupted near the tips of the Lizardman Mage’s hands.
‘Magic?’
When Jin-Woo tried to get closer, the two Lizardmen protecting the Mage stabbed their spears at him.
Indeed, what quick reflexes befitting reptiles.
Jin-Woo jumped rearward and barely missed the speartips.
Right away, the balls of flame flew at him.
Swish-!
Swooosh!!
“Hyung-nim, watch out!!”
Yu Jin-Ho cried out from his position a lot of distance away.
Kwaboom!!!
Along with a huge explosion, the narrow cavern-like dungeon shook around noticeably.
< Chapter 22 > Fin.
