Three years ago, the first incident occurred in the middle of Seoul.
A fissure appeared in the clear sky. Never-before-seen monsters from another world invaded through the rip.
That was the first fissure that appeared on Earth.
Fissures are tunnels between Earth and dungeons of another world. The first fissure, which appeared in Seoul, would have resulted in great damage since they didn’t know anything about the existence of other worlds, monsters, gates, or dungeons, but….
In that moment, a young man awoke with new, unseen powers. With his awakened powers, he wiped out all of the invading monsters.
That young man was the world’s first awakened one, Shin Jiho.
Of course, Shin Jiho became famous immediately. It was to the point where anyone who was even the slightest bit interested in modern culture knew his name.
Shin Jiho’s name, face, upbringing, family, school, friends…. A lot of information was spread around the world.
As a city with a population of about ten million, there were countless videos of Shin Jiho’s awakening. Shin Jiho’s awakening videos earned hundreds of millions of views on MeTube.
However, the subject of the rumors himself wasn’t able to feel his own fame for a very long time.
Perhaps because of the great energy that he had expended, Shin Jiho collapsed on the spot. He was in a coma for two years.
Two years.
Some may say that time is short, others may say it’s long. During that time, the period of great confusion had passed.
Many people awakened their powers after Shin Jiho, and as society was starting to accept gates and awakened ones as the new normal…
Shin Jiho finally woke up.
Though it wasn’t as much as when he had just awakened his powers, there was still a lot of attention on Shin Jiho. The entire world focused on him as soon as he regained consciousness.
One year later, Shin Jiho had fallen out of public attention.
“Shin Jiho, behind you!”
Shin Jiho instinctively ducked at Lim Seung Joo’s sharp warning. However, that must’ve been the wrong judgment, as the attack that came flying from behind hit his head.
“Oof!”
His head spun from the strong impact and his vision turned white. Jiho quickly drew up the mana in his body. As he did so, his exhausted body regained its strength temporarily.
Swallowing the familiar taste of blood in his throat, Jiho clenched his gloved hand and swung.
Thump!
Although the sound was light, the effect was impressive.
The monster’s head was crushed by Jiho’s one punch. Its blood and skin splattered everywhere from the impact.
Lim Seung Joo approached Jiho’s side and clicked his tongue at the messy sight.
“Why did you not avoid it? What if it had poison?”
“This much is okay.”
Even though Lim Seung Joo knows that Shin Jiho doesn’t have the strength to avoid it, he always asks sarcastically like that.
Lim Seung Joo’s attitude isn’t the proper attitude that a vice-guildmaster should have towards the guildmaster. But Shin Jiho didn’t say much about it.
Rather, he can’t say anything about it.
Because it was a relief that Lim Seung Joo stayed in the guild in the first place.
“Next time, I will try to avoid it.”
Jiho smiled in response. However, Lim Seung Joo was, unfortunately, the type of person who could spit calmly on a smiling face. Although he didn’t actually spit because he didn’t want to get sued, Seung Joo turned his gaze away to the scene with a scowl, fully displaying his displeasure.
“You should go back in, Guildmaster-nim. I’ll clean up the scene.”
It means, Stop bothering me and f*ck off.
“Mm, okay.”
It would be uncomfortable if the two stayed together anyways. The relationship between the guildmaster and vice-guildmaster of the same guild was awkward.
And on top of that, Lim Seung Joo’s right.
Today’s task was to clean up a small-scale fissure that opened in a residential area. Although there was an evacuation order, since it was a large neighborhood, a crowd was gathering quickly.
If Shin Jiho, whose face is well-known, stays here, it will only get messier.
“Then I will head b…”
Shin Jiho stopped in the middle of his words and closed his mouth tightly. He had a bad feeling.
His head spun and a familiar sensation rose. He felt pain, as though there was a weight crushing him and a sharp weapon cutting him up inside.
In the end, he couldn’t hold it in, and as he coughed, blood surged up his throat.
Through his hazy consciousness, he could see Lim Seung Joo’s annoyance.
Ah, again.
Is what Lim Seung Joo seemed to be saying.
Sorry to inconvenience you, a**hole.
Unable to say that out loud, Shin Jiho slowly lost his consciousness.
Shin Jiho opened his eyes in a hospital ward.
It doesn’t seem like he was unconscious for long. Since the ceiling looks unfamiliar.
If he had been unconscious for a long time, he would’ve been moved into his personal ward in Chungram Hospital, the hospital specialized in hunters, so this must be a hospital close to the scene.
“Are you awake, Shin Jiho-ssi?”
Shin Jiho nodded his head half-heartedly at the person’s words. He just wanted to lie down and rest, but the medical staff moved around him busily after confirming that he was awake.
However, there’s no cure nor medicine for chronically vomiting blood and passing out. The medical staff and healers could only check his state before letting go.
Finally alone, Jiho checked the news on his hunter terminal.

There wasn’t much else about today’s gate. Thankfully, it looks like him fainting didn’t make it into the news.
His father or Joo Yiwon probably blocked the news for him. And it was also probably because the public’s interest in Shin Jiho had dropped. He hasn’t seen many headlines with his name these days.
Of course, the hunter community, which has a different informant, was probably mocking him again.
Shin Jiho, who has never been interested in the internet, didn’t even know they were talking about him on forums. One day, he coincidentally heard about it from his guildmembers and checked one of the sites. Shin Jiho’s name climbed the ranks frequently, despite his low rank.

– Probably when He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named stops his hobby
↪ What do you mean He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named you say his name all the time here LOL. Why can’t you say Shin Jiho, the useless f*cker who only has the title of first awakened one and nothing else
↪↪ That’s a little too harsh ㅠㅠ he’s still a kid…. The kid might cry if he sees something like this; how pitiful…
↪↪↪ Then cry
↪↪↪ You feel pity for everything LOL. While you were checking your bank account and taking out money to give to your parents, Shin Jiho was wasting away his parents’ money

| Title: If I was Shin Jiho I would just play around Why is that bastard that can do whatever he wants, a hunter? If it were me, I would just marry Joo Yiwon and leech off of him |
| Comments: |
– Shin Jiho doesn’t like Joo Yiwon
↪ But Joo Yiwon loves Shin Jiho
↪↪ One-sided love ㅠ
– What do you mean marry and leech off of him lol Joo Yiwon would become the live-in-son-in-law
↪ Isn’t he already one? At Joo Yiwon’s level, he doesn’t have to be Chungram’s guildmaster. If he was independent he could do whatever the f*ck he wants and keep all the money to himself but the reason he’s Chungram’s guildmaster is because he received it from his father-in-law
↪↪ Ah it all makes sense
↪↪↪ It really does make sense lolol at Joo Yiwon’s level the company is beneath him and it’s probably easier to run a guild that’s already been set-up
↪↪ But if it were me I would just stay at Chungram. You can’t underestimate Shin Jihye’s abilities to handle situations
↪↪↪ That’s true and she’s hot too heh
↪↪↪↪ She’s a married woman….
↪↪↪↪↪ She’s a divorcee
↪↪↪ The people who wouldn’t be to say sh*t in front of Shin Jihye are the ones who talk sh*t about her being married or divorced; f*ck take this warning and let me sleep

| Title: Truthfully Shin Jiho’s face is a waste If he just toured around a bit and waved his hand he would be the national hero but because he’s trying to be a hunter he’s just getting cursed at |
| Comments: |
– People here would still curse him out for sticking out LOL
↪ He is sticking out what is a B-rank doing
– Must be a masochist he wants to be cursed at
↪ I didn’t know that
↪ (This comment has been deleted)
↪↪ (This comment has been deleted)
↪↪ Don’t cross the line I sent a pdf of it to Chungram
↪↪↪ What did he say?
↪↪↪↪ Something sexual about Shin Jiho

| Title: So if an invitation comes from No Name accept vs. not accept I would accept |
| Comments: |
– Of course I’m accepting
– I would definitely accept lol if I could get a lot of money and scouted by Chungram I’m set
↪ The winner’s ending
↪↪ F*ck
– I wouldn’t accept isn’t it not worth it?
↪ If you’re of a high rank it isn’t, but if you’re C-rank or below it’s worth it…. It’s a B-rank guild but it has the lowest requirements
– But does Chungram really scout people from No Name?
↪ Yeah it’s real
↪ There’s even an article search it up
– If you want to advance it’s sh*t, but if you want easy money, it’s perfect
– I should go and lick Shin Jiho’s toes lick lick
↪ Crazy f*cker
In the hunter community, Shin Jiho was a punching bag for when they were bored. Contempt, jealousy, and sexual harassment all mixed together to create chaos.
Although he was dumbfounded, he didn’t take any action. After finding out about it, his dad had said that he would sue everyone, but Jiho stopped that as well.
If someone reports it, then the situation would only get even messier, with people saying that they’re tyrannizing innocent hunters.
And in fact, other than the nonsense about his relationship with Joo Yiwon, everything else isn’t completely wrong.
Awakened ones are split into S, A, B, C, D, and F-ranks. And when Shin Jiho went to get his rank assessed, the entire world thought that Shin Jiho was at least S-rank, or that he would be, at the time, the only SS-rank in the world.
But Shin Jiho was only a B-rank.
