3.
After crossing the long Incheon Bridge to Yeongjong Island, the Mac Guild's hunters and soldiers who eventually arrived at Incheon International Airport saw a corpse that could also be called a small hill.
 
A Twin-head Ogre.
This monster was fearsome enough that even dead it still exuded an ominously strong sense of existence. 
 
"Blarrgh…"
"Ugh."
"Hey, wake up! Stay with me!"
 
The ordinary soldiers who did not have the power of Energy could still the real fear emanating from the Twin-head Ogre just by looking at its body from far away, and they had to check what they had eaten that day.
 
"Soldiers, fall back!"
"Only the hunters, move!"
 
Only Awakeners with Energy level above E rank were able to get close to the massive corpse.
 
"That's awesome."
 
Those who approached it were given some tasks. The first thing they did was check the toughness of the Twin-head Ogre's hide.
 
The verification procedure was simple.
 
Tututu! They pulled the triggers of the rifles that they had brought, pointed at the body of the Twin-head Ogre.
 
"Uh-cha!" They beat the corpse several times with all their might, using a huge axe.
 
"Explode!" "Explode!" They set up a claymore they brought on on the dead body and then blew it off.
 
It was an eerie task, but the eeriest fact was that the dead body of the Twin-head Ogre only had a few scars after such bloody work.

If they likened the wounds to a person, the person might have been stung by a wasp.

Considering the size of the Twin-head Ogre, it was like driving railroad spikes into something the size of a building.
 
"I can't speak."
"How the hell did he kill this monster?"
 
In front of the scene, the Mac Guild's hunters were forced to remain silent. Solemnly, they moved on to the next task.
 
"Now we begin guarding the dead body."
 
The next mission was to protect the body of the Twin-head Ogre, which was now worth more than gold. It was to prevent people from stealing its body. But it was a funny mission.
 
"Who's going to come to steal this?"
"My words."
"I'd rather be a survivor than a thief."
 
It was impossible to imagine to stealing a monster with a weight greater than an elephant.
 
"Hmm?"
"Haw?"
But their common sense crumbled so easily.
 
"There, there!"
 
While guarding the dead body of the Twin-head Ogre, they saw a group of people approaching. Their faces turned white as ghosts. Of course, at that moment they were unable to carry out the proper orders to be executed.
 
"No, no access!"
"Put your hands up! Hands up!
 
They talked all at the same time and just spewed out the thoughts in their minds. What jolted them were the words that came out of the person who appeared in front of them.
 
"Please don't shoot me!"
 
4.
"So you were surprised at English, and couldn't remember any security protocols? That's great, that's great."
 
Five hunters' heads were bowed down by Jang's thorny words.
 
"The Awakeners who stay on in the face of a monster's fear effect were afraid of English… what did they do, although they have been taught English for twelve years in elementary, the junior, and the high schools? They could not use English…"
 
Jang was nearly pulling out his hair in a frenzy with the five people in front of him.
 
'Damn it.'
 
He has figured out the situation before and after. Survivors from Incheon International Airport had appeared. It was an unexpected appearance, and of course, the hunters were embarrassed. It was the English spoken by survivors that gave a decisive blow to them.
 
'They were embarrassed by English. Do I have to teach English again to the native speakers? Holy shit!'
 
At that moment, the security system collapsed, and one of the hunters hurriedly visited Kim Tae-hoon, who was taking a rest in the VIP lounge.

It was nonsense. If the survivors approached the hunters with bad intentions, there would be a big accident. Jang's expression inevitably crumpled.
 
'Anyway, is this good news or bad news?'
 
But what was even worse was that one survivor was Kate Kennedy, not just anyone. She was the daughter of the U.S. Ambassador to Korea who Kim was looking for. To be honest, Jang wasn't sure how to weigh things properly with the current situation he was given.
 
'Is it better to just hand her over to the Capital Defense Command, and collect the relics?'
 
The deal itself would be valid if they rescued Kate Kennedy and transferred her to the Capital Defense Command. But the deal was an unusual deal, filled with intrigue and acrimony. It could never be a normal transaction. Even so, leaving Kate Kennedy alone was not a safe choice, either. Anyway, the Capital Defense Command was looking for her. Her intentions were also important.
 
'What if she causes trouble?'
 
It would matter if she wanted to go to Seoul, or if she refused the Mac Guild's order for her own purpose and pushed ahead with her actions.
 
'What should I do with her when such a problem occurs? Should I make my face so blood-stained that she can't recognize me, and then calm her down? The daughter of the U.S. Ambassador to Korea?'
 
None of the people Kim Tae-hoon and his men met had more political implications than her. Since there was no precedent, there was no easy choice.
 
'What choice will Boss make?' However, in this situation, Kim Tae-hoon must decide after finishing weighing his options.
 
'No, is he okay now?'
 
It was like torture.
 
'I would have been mad if I had been him.'
 
This fourth death was the most miserable death that Kim had ever experienced. If the third death was physically painful, the fourth death was a mentally painful death. So far, if death gave new answers, the fourth death left only regrets, not answers.
 
It was a tag that said that Kim Tae-hoon's life failed in the end. In a situation where he was thinking about such a desperate experience, he must make a judgment on a new problem and take responsibility for the judgment he had made.
 
'I need someone to make a decision for Boss, I'm sure.' At this moment, Jang felt the need for a leader to make a judgment on behalf of him in a similar position to Kim.
 
At the same time, he was able to understand one of the three bucket lists left by Kim. 'We should make Cho Sung-yeon president?'
 
5.
"There was a secret bunker at Incheon International Airport, and I've been with the survivors there."
 
Kate Kennedy was a typical blonde white beauty. Her blue eyes were large, her eyelashes were long, her blond hair was really coveted, her body was so great that it reminded everyone of a model.
 
But now Kim's eyes did not rest on the fact that she was a beautiful woman. 'There was a secret bunker.'
 
Once she and other survivors survived at Incheon International Airport, he could see the background; there was a secret bunker at Incheon International Airport.
 
'It' would be strange not to be there.'
 
It was not strange.
 
Incheon International Airport was one of the most frequently used airports by Korean authorities, and it was used when lawmakers or conglomerate leaders left overseas. Therefore, it was not strange to have a secret bunker for such VIPs. Most of all, the people who would be using the bunker were not paying for it, it was built by the national taxes.
 
There was no reason to wonder if the daughter of the US Ambassador to Korea knew about such a bunker.
 
And she and other survivors came to him.
 
'I get this card only once.' Anyway, from this moment on, their lives were placed in Kim's palm. He did not intend to ignore it, and he did not intend to show mercy to the card that was put on his palm.
 
'I need to find a way to make the most of it.'
 
He should draw the maximum profit he could pull out with this card. So at this moment, he looked at the card called Kate Kennedy from head to toe, who he now had to pull everything out of, and she felt uncomfortable. 'Hmm?'
 
At that moment, he grabbed her right wrist quickly and firmly. At the same time, his eyes went black.
 
"Ahhh!" She screamed and tried to snatch her hand away. She succeeded in shaking off his hand, which had become even more powerful by eating the monster stone of the Twin-head Ogre.
 
Even though he was considerate of her and did not use his strength to not break her wrist, a normal person could never shake off his hand. That was evidence.
 
"What are you doing? Are you crazy?"
 
That was a clear proof that she was an Awakener. "Her Energy rank… A?"
 
That was evidence of a great Awakener!
 
6.
Lieutenant Colonel Yoo…

Although he could not say that the road was decent, now he was clearly driving on a road where the car could travel.
 
Driving.
It was an act that began after mankind invented the car, and it was no wonderful thing for a modern man, but it had been a long time since he had been able to drive for dozens of minutes without a break.
 
The same was true of the man who drove the car. When he stepped on the accelerator pedal for the first in a long time, he found it exciting and amazing.
 
It was such a world. There were no roads that people could drive now, and even if there were, they could not afford to drive there. It was a world where the land was not ruled by humans.
 
'He did it.'
 
In other words, this drive was the result of the win and of the reacquisition of this land by a human. Of course, that human was not a very big concept among human beings. That human was the leader of the Mac Guild.
 
'The Mac Guild has occupied Incheon.'
 
The winner was the Mac Guild, and of course, the Mac Guild was the one who could claim the land. That was the beginning of the problem.
 
'The Capital Defense Command won't admit it easily.'
 
The Capital Defense Command openly pretended to be the Korean government. And, of course, Incheon was the territory of Korea. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for a group called "The Mac Guild" to own the land.
 
'That's my role.'
 
It was now the role of Lieutenant Colonel Yoo to obtain that recognition. The Mac Guild should be the owner of Incheon City, and then the voice of Lieutenant Colonel Yoo would be strengthened.
 
'It's hard, but it's worth it to do.'
 
At this point, it was highly likely that the Capital Defense Command would allow the Mac Guild to occupy Incheon.
 
'Nothing is impossible'
 
Currently, the power of the Capital Defense Command was concentrated in the northern part of the Han River, Gangbuk. It was hard to even get to Gangnam, the southern part of the Han River, right away. Most of the bridges above the Han River that connected Gangbuk and Gangnam had collapsed.
 
Against this backdrop, it was not easy for the Capital Defense Command to send troops to take control of Incheon. If it had been possible in the first place, the Mac Guild wouldn't have had the chance to occupy Incheon. Above all, the Capital Defense Command could not afford to pay attention to Incheon.
 
"I hear that the troops of the 8th Mechanized Infantry Division have already taken the front line, so at least for the time being all eyes will be on them."
 
The front line.
The 8th Division, which was located in Pocheon, where the Korean Army was concentrated, was rapidly absorbing the front line.
 
'I heard that Colonel Lim Hyun-joon occupied the 8th Division?
 
'I even heard that he, who is not the Commander of the 8th Division, and only a Colonel, did all of that.'
 
In the case of the Capital Defense Command, there was only one card that could reverse this situation, and that was claiming legitimacy with the president or prime minister, but there was such a card.
 
When Lieutenant Colonel Yoo thought that far, he felt his complicated thoughts organize.
 
'In the end, a new government and a new military need to be created.'
 
In fact, the current government and the military in the Republic of Korea were on a deadline.
 
It would have been strange to maintain the status quo in the first place when there was no president and no prime minister, and the generals, who could be called the highest leaders of the military, cannot play a role. It was time for a new order to be established, and of course, the order would be moved by the hands of those who have taken power.
 
"We're here." At the words of the soldier, Lieutenant Colonel Yoo got out of the military truck and looked up at the scene in front of him.
 
Songdo LNG Production Base!
Now was a time where energy would be more precious than gold or human life. He walked on to meet the new order leader, looking at the stage.
 
'Major Kim Tae-hoon… I thought he was a man whose fate was to never be recorded in history, but he will be a man who will be marked in history.'
 
 
7.
"We secured Kate Kennedy."
 
The conversation was one-sided.
 
"But I won't report it to the Capital Defense Command. I'll hide it."
 
Kim Tae-hoon had a solo conversation with Lieutenant Colonel Yoo, a one-sided conversation on the spot. No, it was a one-sided notice, a request, rather than a conversation.
 
"From now on, Kate Kennedy will be a hunter for the Mac Guild, with her identity hidden."
 
It was evidence that Kim knew well the reality of his situation more calmly than anyone else.
 
He had killed the Twin-head Ogre alone.
The Capital Defense Command had taken a number of troops, firepower, and its best ace, Oh Se-bum, including a helicopter, to kill a green-grade monster, a White High-footed Spider, but Kim killed it alone.
 
It was proof.
It was proof of what he had said.
It was proof that the price they would pay that when they set him as an enemy would not be small.
 
And Lieutenant Colonel Yoo was the sword that Kim would wield against the Capital Defense Command from now on. The master of the sword does not speak with the sword. He just wields the sword at his own discretion.
 
"And arrange for a meeting with Colonel Lim Hyun-joon of the Ottuki Unit."
 
Of course, if the owner wielded the sword too freely, there would be problems.
 
"That's—"
 
"As long as there's a traitor in the Capital Defense Command, we'll have to borrow external power, and there's no outside power better than the front-line forces in this situation."
 
At the words of Kim, Lieutenant Colonel Yoo wanted to ask how Kim knew that fact. But the question was pointless. Even if Kim lied with his answer, Yoo was not able to confirm the authenticity.
 
"... that's great." Therefore, Yoo asked questions he could ascertain. "So what's your next destination?"
 
"I'm going to Buyeo."
 
"Buyeo? For what reason?" The moment he asked the question, he immediately came up with the word "National Buyeo Museum".
 
"Ah." So he sighed and then warned, "It's dangerous. I sent my men to search Buyeo several times, but none of them came back."
 
In response to the warning, Kim looked at his hand before answering.

He looked at the back of his hand and said, "That's why I'm going, and it won't take long, so please set up a meeting with Colonel Lim Hyun-joon in June, and definitely before July."
 
At the end of the conversation, a truck began to slowly approach them. There was no driver. The only thing in the truck was the monster's hideous head.
 
"It's one of the heads of the Twin-head Ogre. This is my gift to the Capital Defense Command, and the other one will be a monumental souvenir."

The world has changed and so have the people.

December 31st, 2016 – the day before New Year's. Kim Taehoon was just casually shopping for groceries at the large store. Monsters suddenly appeared out of thin air. With the highly trained skills that he had gained from his previous occupation, he starts to hunt the monsters down and manages to win, saving countless people who were also at the mall.

But there are more and they don't stop coming.
Will he be able to survive until the end? 
Will he be able to beat the countless monsters that only seem to get stronger?
And will it just be monsters that he has to worry about? 

The journey of Kim Taehoon, The First Hunter, begins.

Editor's views  - from Ekdud

The First Hunter is a short Korean, action-fantasy novel situated in a post-apocalyptic world. Monsters start appearing out of nowhere and people are unlocking strange powers. Those who unlock such powers are called ‘Hunters’, ones with the strength to kill the monsters. To fight and survive, that is their goal. Society crumbles and the world burns.

A very fun novel that dives into the plot almost instantly. The novel is interesting in a way that it depicts a lot of human nature and what people would do in a situation such as this is quite an accurate manner. The character development is also very good as you get to learn about the characters, their backgrounds, and their stories. All in all, this is another novel I’d recommend to a lot of readers who are interested in reading fantasy and gaming novels.

Level Four (9)
The team who wanted to create trouble:
Now they were in the muddy part of the region opposite to the dead hill. The monsters in this region were not immune to the cold and would dig deep into the ground to find a place to hibernate. They had to spend the two months of harsh winter through this method. Even though the snowflakes kept falling throughout the whole year, it was only in the winters when the coldness reached an unbearable point. 
These monsters were in the middle phase of learning how to use their bodies against the weather and attacks of hunters. 
"There is one with a thick layer of skin, probably level four." Qiao alerted them. 
The team stopped and the team leader looked at him suspiciously. "What do you mean by 'probably'?" 
If he was not clear about the level, how could they hunt it out of the blue. "Probably because I have never seen this layered monster." Qiao shook his head. 
"Haha, little kid if you are worried and have never seen this monster then you should not take the risk." A heavy and strong voice surprised them at that moment. The team leader, Qiao and the men turned to see who it was. 
Qiao was the most baffled with shock when he looked at the person. Such humans exist here? He had only seen some Sumo slammers in the international sports not in real. He thought that reaching level four, he had built his muscles, his thighs became thick compared to his previous self. He no more looked like a weak young man, but in front of these bulky humans he was rightly labelled as kid. 
They were not wearing fleeces to cover against cold, instead just a clothe around their waist, their layers of fat were jiggling when they laughed to make fun of this team. The team leader gulped and it took him some courage to speak back, "What do you mean by that?" 
"I don't think I need to be more precise than that? Do I?" The fat hunter brought his big face in front of the team leader and blinked. In his eyes, they should have understood by now that they were not suitable to fight against them to get this monster.  
Qiao understood that this man was asking them to leave in a plain way and allow to let them handle this monster. The team leader lowered his head and gestured his team members to walk away. What could he do against those five monster like humans?" Qiao followed his team speechlessly. They were consecutively being bullied again and again in various ways. 
Those giant humans only set their eyes on certain types of monsters in order to hunt and consume the meat, so they won't let this team hunt it down and cut open every part of skin to search the spoils, thereby ruining the meat. 
"Are we going to search for another monster?" the team member who could not digest the present situation spoke in a sarcastic manner. No one gave an answer. Half of the day had passed in their search and still they were empty handed. Qiao started getting worried, as if this went on his precious time would go to waste. He had resolved to reach Hightown before the end of the Winter and here he was being mocked by Sumo hunters. 
"Don't get dejected we will find another monster soon." The team leader patted his shoulder and walked forward to actively search for it. This time he would not back off if someone tried to bother him. He was furious now. His ego was triggered and Qiao now felt troubled by this. Not because they would be offending others because of the leader's recklessness, but it might bring trouble for the team. 
He took a deep breath and followed the team. The eastern region had a warm water lake where the level four monsters usually wandered to spend the winter. Only stronger teams dared to venture to that part. Since Qiao and their team were newbies in this place, they were unaware to the direction where they were heading off to. 
To find the way back, they could follow a rough pointer given by the organization. 
'Where the light diminished last was the place of encampment.' 
Yet, right now they were not heading back, but instead were looking for monster like a desperate team. 
As they moved forward, they soon saw the number of monsters gathered and stopped. If they advanced any further, they would be ripped apart by the number of monsters. 
"Retreat." the hoarse voice of the team leader reached their ears.
They lowered to the ground and retreated in a steady pace while crawling on the ground like insects. When they could see the encampment from some distance, someone shouted at their back. "It was a wonderful mission today." 
Team leader turned to see who was flexing openly at their back. Pretty sure it was the team which was residing in the same part with them and had happened to take advantage of them by stealing their mission. The team brushed past them mocking as they seemed not care about anything. 
Qiao did not bother instead team leader glanced, 
"I will settle this soon." The other team immediately stopped and one of them asked, 
"How soon? Do you dare?" The team leader raised up his hand to slap the man but Qiao stopped. They were standing in front of the encampment and many teams were passing by them. It was the end of day and they cannot bring trouble to themselves by bothering this team of shameless hunters. 
The team leader barely held his anger and walked inside the encampment. Qiao glanced back at the all members of opponent team to see what specific traits of hunters they hold. For example, better weapons, expensive clothing or much experience of hunting. None of the trait matched. They were common hunters from another Guild with only their scheming nature as to how take advantage or bring trouble for others. 
They had intentionally spoken to anger the team leader so that others around would notice who was at fault and thus put the blame on them.  


[Check out my #WSA story 'The Player's System'] 

A wicked and greedy hunter who intentionally triggered the broken morgue in search of treasure. He was cursed by the aura of death. Being the high level hunter he was given a chance to cast this curse onto someone else and save himself. He disguised himself in an old woman and stopped a youth walking on the street. 

To be college student and getting good grades is not enough if you cannot hunt monsters.
Bam*
“I am your opponent and enemy, you have choice whether to level up or face brutal death in front of your younger sibling. I choose you as my target to sacrifice in place of my mistake and crime. I have offended the ancient sacred soul of Hunter Monarch."

“What, why and why in front of younger sibling? How do you know him and who the hell are you?" The youth was forced to drag through the portal and enter in unknown world.

Central South America had the largest monster zone on Earth. Bordering Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Colombia, and Venezuela, there was a large jungle centered on the Amazon River even before the gate appeared. Now it was combined with the creatures from Elus so in that massive jungle, there was an incredible diversity of monsters and wild animal species.
It was a hunter's paradise, often visited by American hunters as well as the national hunters in South America. It ranges from one-tier monsters that could be raided by general people to seven-tier monsters dedicated to attacking raids and was the world's largest hunter base.
'Blue Diamond'
The name of the base might not seem very appropriate, but all the hunters who have visited this place would raise their thumbs, saying that only this name could fully express the place.
Blue Diamond, the city which occupies most of its bases, had the world's largest hunter auction house and a fortified amphitheater with new and emerging sports.
Hunters and hunters, hunters and monsters, and monsters and monsters fighting, this place was a good landmark of the city, symbolizing that monsters were no longer a threat to humans.
The amphitheater, which could accommodate 100,000 spectators, was now full of silence.
Was the game that intense? No, there were no announcer's breathless cries and no cheers. The Hunters who fought in the stadium were also looking at the huge multi-vision display that occupied one side of the stadium without any action.
Wobble... Wobble...
On the Multivision, the letters spelling, "red danger" were constantly crossing the screen, and it shows a large unknown monster trying to get out of the gate with a blood fountain.
"Crrraaaaaaaaaakkkk"
It was a giant monster of the Dark Earth who screamed in pain as it hung at the gate of 105 meters in diameter. The gate was already devastated by the monster's struggle alone. The problem was that this was not the only situation here. Some Dark Earth gates that existed all over the world have begun their activities.
*CRUMBLE*
In the center of the city of Mihara, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan, there was a dark earth gate that occurred about 30 years ago and was closed. Under the Hunter Law, the public can't live in a one-kilometer radius of a closed gate, but its location was in the center of the city. For those who were now acclimatized to danger, the huge concrete walls blocking the gates were just part of their everyday life.
Now everyone here stopped to hear the dull ringing from the closed gate. At first, they thought it was an earthquake. Earthquakes were common in Japan. But the origin of the ringing was not so far. It was a concrete wall that blocks the Dark Earth Gate.
Kuwoong!
"What?"
"What??"
People walking on the road gathered in the barricades in front of the concrete wall.
At the time, the Japanese government vowed that there would be no danger because it was the strongest closed gate on the planet, but their faith was shaking little by little now.
POWWWWW
Along with the roaring thunder, something gigantic, presumably a horn, pierces through its thick barriers and sparkles in the sun. The faces of those who were filming it with their cell phone cameras turned pale without even thinking about running away.
"GYYYAA"
A woman's sharp scream rang. Beginning with screams, people began to scream and run away.
Thud! Kukukung!
The rocks made of concrete fell to the ground, and the vehicles passing under it became flat on the rocks. What would he say if the mayor of Hiroshima saw this scene after he had promised he would kill himself if the gate broke through?
"Run!"
"AAHHH!"
When it fell off the gate, it looked like a small piece of debris, but it's actually a ton of rock.
KUUOOOOOO
The falling debris was scary, but through the pierced hole, the scream of the monster was even scarier.
BOOM ! BOOM!
With a louder sound than before, the snout of the monster that probably just screamed a little while ago came through the hole. It was a mouth with hundreds of teeth, which were like saw blades. On each side of the mouth were two long horns, like those of a wild boar, which were twisted off and the concrete wall was torn apart like a sponge.
"Monster Alert! Monster Alert! Mihara citizens are advised to move in order to the nearby designated shelters or subways. I will inform you again... Monster Alerts ..."
The voice of the angry announcer rang in the distance, but no one was listening to it. The gate continued to break. How much time has passed? A giant foot-like thing popped out of the holes and stomped the ground.
ZzZZzZZZeeeeek
Its feet were so heavy it dug the ground deep.
*cars crashing and screeching*
The monster's body slowly starts to exit the gate. The size of the monster was enough to fill the gate, but after a while, the monster that had completely escaped began to smash the streets.
But this was just a prelude, thousands of red eyeballs flashed through the huge holes that the monster penetrated, and the monsters of the Dark Earth were pouring out. They began to make full-scale hell.

[Closed Dark Earth Gates Chain Explosion! The scene of catastrophe that has become hell because of the monsters that poured out!]
A catastrophic event that could be explained by this one line of headline had happened all over the world.
Today, around 30 o'clock at Pacific Time, around 30 of the world's closed Dark Earth Gates have generated monster waves that were estimated to be 8 to 9 tiers. The magnitude of the devastation that occurred 60 years ago was unpredictable, and it was estimated that hundreds and thousands of people were already injured. The affected nations were calling all hunters with the highest level of Monster Alert. The countries that have been identified so far are Russia, the United States, Japan, China, Korea, Italy, Morocco, India, and Canada, and each country was doing its best to block the gate with all monster defense systems in operation.
"The World Hunter Secretariat is requesting the dispatch of hunters from unaffected countries to the affected country as soon as possible, but each country is refusing the request of the World Hunter Secretariat because of their own Dark Earth Gate management."
In addition, Korea, one of the victims of this wave, was known to be successfully blocking all waves, unlike other countries.
"In accordance with the International Hunter Law, the World Hunter Secretariat issued a forced mobilization order of six or higher hunters. Under this decree, this mobilization rule prohibits all commercial raid activities, and all hunters are given command over their efforts to defend against monsters. In addition, the World Hunter Secretariat asked the Master Archer to aid the victims as soon as possible."
The World Hunter Secretariat tried to resolve the situation quickly with a forced mobilization order. However, the countries that escaped the situation strongly opposed the forced mobilization order.
Since there was no guarantee that their gates would not open up the same, the countries tried to keep their hunters as many as possible.
Korea was no different.
No, the Republic of Korea was rather free from the forced mobilization.
While one to two gates broke out in other countries, five Dark Earth gates exploded in Korea. Fortunately, the ROK was well prepared for the Dark Earth Gate, so no damage to the civilians occurred.
Is it possible to force a victim to release their troops? At this time, both domestic public opinions and politics raised their voices not to release the Master Archer.

Only one day was enough for the world to turn over. Thirty of the 216 Dark Earth gates that have been identified have exploded.
The number of people killed in one day was 800,000, including missing persons, and the damage could not even be estimated. What made it worse was that it was still in progress.
The whole world began to talk about the Master Archer.
It's not like there was no way to raid a tier-9 monster, but it must account for some damage. To raid the tier 9 monsters did not simply lie in the power of the hunter. Hunters and the military must work together.
There must be at least attacking raids with three of them going in and two raid teams in reserve. At least 3 tankers to tank 9-tier monsters and dealers have to be at least a 6-star hunter.
In addition, it was not only the nine-tier monsters that came out of the gate. At least hundreds and thousands of monsters appeared.
[When is the Master Archer going to appear?]
[South Korea Hunter Secretariat 'to solve the chaos in the Republic of Korea first' prevented the release of the Master Archer.]
Just a few days ago, the media in various countries, which were all consistent with critical articles about Jaehwang, said that only he could solve the situation.
But South Korea was silent.

"Cruel!"
A huge hand with long claws picked up a bus that was stopped by the side of the road.
SSHHwaaanngg! Kwaa Aang !!!
The bus split in half, and a man rushed into it. The debris flew but the lightning strike surrounding the man protected him from all that. The monster that threw the bus to the man opened its mouth.
Zzzzwwaaaa
A long green liquid spouted and everything that it hit bubbled and melted. It's a terrible acid that even melts rocks. The man pulled his fist back, staring at the acid breath.
Papak! Papapak !!!
Sparks started to clump together. Soon, when it was about the size of a fist, he flew towards the air and fired the sphere of lightning at the monster.
Ttuuuuuuuuwww
Flying like a canon, it hit the monster's crown. 
But compared to the size of the monster, it was too small. Is it at most half the size of the scales covering the monsters?
"Qqqqqueeeeekk Eck !!!"
A blood fountain spouted from the top of the monster's head. The lightning ball shot by the man went through the crown of the monster.
The monster's giant body collapsed slowly.
Kuwoong !!
A monster crashed with a loud explosion. From the place where the lighting ball dug into, hot steam rose with blood. It's not just penetrating; it has completely cooked it inside.
Tatak ...
The man landed lightly on the body of the monster and had a beard and his hands behind his back, but there was no beard caught on his hand.
"Wow!
Shouts were heard from the surroundings, but the man shook his head with a stretched chin to see if he did not like his beard. Thanks to his grandson, he was happy to jump over the wall, but he suffered through vertigo and his proud white beard disappeared.

Have you been targeted?
Maybe, since you've been in his range all along.
What else can you do but prepare yourself to be killed?

'First International White Gate hunt'
'Strongest Hunters Gathered For Historical Moment'
'First Step into Monsters' Realm? The Whole World Holds Its Breath'
Faust was awake very early that morning, scrolling through the news absently as he drank his latte. 
The White Gate would open in six hours but it would start appearing in five. The Dark Dragon warned them it might anger the Light Dragon and so the guilds around the world had been alerted for potential more Black Gates, which was what they'd decided to call the Moon Gates created by the Light Dragon as opposed to the white ones created by the Dark Dragon. 
The list of hunters on this hunt had been posted across the web. Faust recognized all of them since the ranking of the hunters hadn't really changed for the past few years. Their last collaboration had been on a badly-placed gate so large that had split a building in half. 
Faust was excited about the upcoming hunt. No, perhaps excited wasn't the right word. This would be the start of his mission. He must find a way to get the Light Dragon's attention. That meant he must cause a ruckus and Faust wasn't really good at that. However, he had a plan.
The assault team was there to send them off. "Good luck, sir!" They were leaning into Nathaniel's car from the open windows. "Mr. Faust, we'll be counting on you to keep everyone alive."
"Why?" Faust frowned. 
"That's your job, dumbass." Nathaniel punched him. "Don't just sit back."
"If anything goes wrong," Matt said, "we'll be rushing in. I'm sure you already got the details but we just want you to know that we got your back."
Nathaniel snorted. "If somehow all the high-rank hunters get wiped out, it's most likely not something people like you can take care of."
"I'm planning to run at first sign of trouble," Faust told him. "So if you don't see me, I'm probably out of the gate already."
They spoke with the assault team for a bit longer before leaving the car behind to head to the training center. Because of the durable walls created specifically to battle the damage from hunters, the Association decided it was best to open the White Gate there. 
Most of the hunters had gathered already and the assault teams were busy holding the reporters behind the lines. 
"How are you feeling, Mr. Whitman?" one of the reporters shouted as the man walked past. "Do you have high expectations for this hunt? What do you think you will find beyond the gate?"
Really, the reporters were blessed to have someone like Nathaniel as the strongest hunter because that man always stopped for the press. 
"Excited," he replied. "This is my moment to make another mark in history."
"Mr. Whitman is as energetic and ambitious as usual." They smiled. "And you, Mr. Faust? Do you look forward to collaborating with the world's top hunters? Compare to them, where do you think you stand?"
"I'll be standing in the back," Faust replied and left Nathaniel with the reporters. 
He went to greet the other hunters. Since Faust wasn't there to spar with them yesterday, most of them were rather interested to meet him. First was the French hunter Corentin Dubois. Faust shook his hands. 
"We look forward to working with you again," he said. 
"The pleasure is all mine." Faust smiled. 
One by one, the other hunters introduced themselves as well and shook his hand. Last was Xiu Cai who, on top of the greeting, asked if he'd considered her offer. 
The hunters turned to them in anticipation because having Faust was something any country could benefit from. Unlike Nathaniel, Faust wasn't chained to a country.  
However, Faust thought the other hunters' sudden attention was merely to see whether he would accept China's offer so he missed their sigh of relief at his rejection. 
"Why not?" Xiu Cai asked. "If you want money, just name the price."
"Why do you want me?" Faust frowned. That was something he didn't understand. A support-type hunter is not beneficial in the larger picture. If the first White Gate hunt went well, there would probably be more of it in the future. And what they needed against White Gates was more fire-power, not defensive supporters. "You need to look at the long-run," he said. 
"It's always good to have strong people," she said. "This is unfortunate. I hope we can work together in the future."
"Certainly." Faust enjoyed the diversity because seeing Nathaniel and the assault team every day was tiring.
He looked behind them. The White Gate was as tall as a flat house and white particles of light flickered out but died seconds later. Faust knew the entrance to the light realm would have some effect on him but he did not anticipate how much he was drawn to it. He felt like something was tugging him to the other side. 
His feet carried him to the gate and he stopped a few steps away. The light was gentle as it washed over him. 
Faust looked up and sighed. It was majestic.  
Then, as if sensing his thought, the gate began to warp.
"...! What's that?" 
"Step away! What's happening?"
Someone grabbed him but Faust held up a hand as he looked back at the Gate. The gate stilled as it reached a new shape. A disbelieving laugh escaped Faust as he looked into the eyes of the lion that stared down at him. 
Soft white mane billowed in the air and glowing white eyes pierced the room with firm dominance before landing on him. It was only the head of the lion but the size of it was enough to send the reporters scrambling back.
"A…lion?" Next to Faust, Nathaniel looked with confusion. His sword was drawn. It seemed like the rest of the hunters had drawn their weapon as well. "Did the gate open? Is this the monster?"
Faust looked at the gate and met the eyes of the lion sternly. It barred its teeth at him before warping back into the shape of the gate again. 
"Where did it go?" one of the hunters asked. "Was that a monster from the light realm?"
The First Prophet standing on the side told them the Dark Dragon had yet to open the gate. "It's likely an effect of the gate," he said hesitantly. "It seems to be harmless but I cannot say for sure."
"A gate that can change shape…Is this the power of the Light Dragon?" 
"Perhaps it's foreshadowing what kind of monster we'll face on the other side."
"Right…Right, that must be the case."
Shiiiing. Nathaniel slowly sheathed his sword, shaking his head. "Don't know if that's a good or bad omen."
"Why are you here?" Faust asked, frowning. "Weren't you talking with the reporters?"
"I was—until I saw a gigantic ass lion. Why are you here?" Nathaniel narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "Don't tell me…"
"...What?"
"The monsters on the other side must've felt you and tried to attack." The man's eyes lit up triumphantly. "That must've been what happened. Thankfully the Dark Dragon held it back, else you would've been eaten."
Faust stared at him.
"C'mon, take a few steps back. Let's go set up our formation."

As a Prophet to the Dark Dragon, the only light-type hunter Faust knows a future where the Dark Dragon's barrier will fail and the monsters and Dragon Servitors from the Light Dragon's realm will consume the people. 
To prevent this, the Dark Dragon entrusted him the secret mission to gain the trust of the Light Dragon so it would pass on its power to him. That was the only way to slay an original Dragon. However, to accomplish this goal, Faust must not let anyone know neither his goal nor the true extent of his power.

I was knocked out by Sarge after reaching his vehicle. I don't know what happened next. When I woke up I found myself strapped into a chair in a dark room. In front of me is a large tv screen; which is the only source of light in here. Even with my strength, I could not break free.

The screen only displayed a symbol. An eye inside a triangle. I am here for four hours staring into the screen nothing seems to have happened. 

I am starting to lose my patience.

*Tank*

A voice came from the screen. An audio file started playing as the screen changed.

The screen: "Hello, if you are watching this that means you have been chosen to be part of the most expansive secret organization in history. The Dark Eye.

What is the Dark Eye? We are an international agency tasked with monitoring and containment of paranormal entities and anomalies, to keep them away from the normal world. To put it bluntly, we protect people from things that they don't know about.

You will now be provided information as your training progresses. Dismissed..."

The screen turned black and, the only source of light was now gone. 

"Aaaaaa."

I felt a sharp sting on my neck. My eyes got blurry.

-Unkown city-
-23 September-

A young couple were on a date in a local cafe. 

The woman: "Including this, it's been six months." 

The man: "There is something I wanted to give you."

The woman noticed something and her facial expression changed. 

The woman: "Excuse me, I'll be back. I have to go to the washroom."

The man: "Okay..."

A handsome boy with black hair and blue eyes, who was sitting near them started laughing.

The boy: "She might not be coming back."

The man's phone vibrated, he took his phone out check a message which read.

' I'm sorry. Something has come up and I had to leave.'

The man: "How did you....?"

The boy: "She told me. She also told you."

The man: "When?"

The boy: "Body language."

The man: "Body language?"

The boy: "Sometimes their body tells what they don't.Both males and females have different poses. There is an open pose and a closed pose. When people are having a fight or when they do not listen to others they usually keep their arms and legs close, they are actually subconsciously adapting to a defensive pose."

The man: "That doesn't prove anything. She could be just feeling cold."

The boy: "24 degrees is cold, I didn't know that.The second sign, the handbag. Handbag symbolizes the woman's mind. When a woman meets someone for the first time, she places her handbag away from them and when she is with someone she is close to, she may place the handbag between them. Of course, there are girls who just don't care but judging by her makeup and her style of dressing, she is not one of them."

The man:  "It could be just..."

The boy: "Then the obvious one, she is lying. The eyes, the sweating and other actions, when people lie they exhibit several signs of it. Touching lips and then touching ears are two of them and she exhibited them didn't she."

The man: "But..."

The boy: "Then, at last, her smile is fake. When someone smiles, the way to confirm whether it's genuine or not is through eyes. If the eyes are impassive and she still smiling then her smile is fake."

The man: "BULLSHIT!"

The man ran outside the cafe furiously.

The boy sipped his cup of coffee while thinking, 'I forgot to tell him that she noticed the ring in his pocket.'

A muscular man with short blonde military-style hair entered and, sat opposite to the boy.

The man: "Damien..."

"Well, what are we dealing with, and where?"The boy asked.

"Skinwalkers. In South Africa.", he responded.

The boy almost burst out laughing. "Skinwalkers?" He retorted, "In Africa? I thought they're native to the states."

Sarge kept his poker face. "Our surveillance team received a distress call from the Bushveld region. They reported a pack of 7 skinnies running around, taking unsuspecting locals."

Sarge continued, "A team of 10 Rank 2 hunters were sent in. They downed twi skinwalkers, but only two hunters returned from the reserve. One without his right arm, and the other with claw marks on his back. They've been evacuated, but both of them are mentally screwed- past the point of giving even a short account of what happened back there. They keep on rambling about a giant monster in the woods."

The boy tried to make sense of the situation. "The giant monster those two mentioned. Maybe a high-level wendigo?" he speculated.

"We don't have much to work with. We've received orders to consider it a C class threat and smoke whatever monsters lie in those woods. We drop into Bushveld, clear the areas around Eastern Cape, and lay waste to the monstrosities lurking in the shadows. What say, junior? It's another C-class mission. You up for it?"

"Yeah, count me in." The boy said. "Great.", Sarge boomed, "Report to base. We leave in 2 days."

The world isn't as simple as people think. Where ever there is light, there are shadows. Shadows give significance to the light. 


Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666

Will a boy with the eyes of Death survive in this world?
