'I knew I was famous, but I didn't think I was this famous.' Mori thought as he looked at the people gathered around his (Fatty's) house.
Unknown to Mori, his name had spread through the world as a contender for the strongest after an official statement was released by the Association. Within that statement, it recounted the tales of the S-Rank gate incident and how Mori basically overpowered the monster inside.
Being able to clear an S-Rank gate with only one casualty was unheard of. So the people of course awed Mori, as he saved Korea.
"Hey guys." Mori waves as he stood within his (Fatty's) yard. "I want to go out and buy a snack... So can you guys make way for me?" He asks awkwardly. Instantly, the people made a path for Mori to exit from. 'That was easy.' He thought before walking off to his Guild's building.

It had been a few days since the S-Rank gate and things had been running smoothly at Heaven's Equal. They had been steadily clearing gates after Fatty got a major power up, successfully reaching A-Rank. Which meant he could start leading a team to clear lower ranked gates.
They had also started scouting new members. All below B-Rank as they still couldn't afford the luxuries of an A-Rank.
But things were for sure looking up for the Guild.
Smiling at his bustling Guild members, Mori went into his office before someone called out from behind him.
"Sir!" a Man knocked on the door before entering. "The person you told me to keep an eye on has just been admitted to the hospital." He said, handing Mori a folder.
Nodding, Mori excused the man before flipping through the folder. "So it started..." He muttered as he threw the folder on his desk. Inside the folder a picture of a scrawny boy could be seen. [Sung Jinwoo] The words read.
Mori had been wondering what to do about him for a while. Should he try and recruit the future powerhouse while he's weak and confused? Or should he let things play out?
Musing through his thoughts, Mori sighed. "Let's leave the kid. I can't be held responsible if he somehow doesn't get strong if he joins a Guild." Mori mutters, taking the folder and throwing it in the garbage.
Let it play out...
*Ring*
Mori looked at his phone as a call came through. "Yoonho?" He muttered, seeing the caller.
"Moshi moshi." Mori answered.
[Mori.] Yoonho's voice sounds out. [Wanna grab some drinks? I haven't thanked you properly for saving my ass in the gate.]
"Sure. Where?" Mori asked, not having anything else to do at the moment because Fatty's out on another raid. 'I swear that guy loves money more than I do.'
---
Mori entered the bar and spots Yoonho sitting with someone. Walking over, he speaks out loud. "Yo! Who's ready to get fuc-" His words get stuck in his mouth after he walked closer and saw who the other person was.
"Oh. You're here, Mori." Yoonho spoke up, then gestured to the extra person. "This is my daughter, Miho. But you've already met her." He explains as Mori dumbly sits next to him.
"Psst." Mori whispers, moving closer to Yoonho while looking at Miho. "Did you change your mind about me being your son-in-law?" He asks, only to be punched on the head.
"Don't be stupid." Yoonho threatens. "I just thought it'd be within my best interests to introduce her to powerful people." He says.
After joking around for a bit, the trio start drinking and chatting. Getting to know each other more as the day progresses.
"But what the hell man?" Mori speaks up, filling up his glass. "Your daughter basically proves the theory of Awakened Genes." He said. "She basically has the same ability as you, just with a different animal."
"Yeah I know." Yoonho sighed. "When she awakened her abilities, many people wanted to research our blood as this couldn't be a coincidence." He explained. "After the Chairman convinced me, I gave up some of my and her blood, but there was no result that came from it. No extra gene that could've triggered her powers. We were just related." Yoonho shrugged before downing his drink.
"At what age did you awaken?" Mori asks, turning to Miho.
"I awakened at the age of seventeen." Miho answered. "But I didn't become a Hunter until a few months ago. Dad said I had to finish school." She explained, a pout forming.
Mori looks at Yoonho and nods. "That was smart of him." He says, gaining a confused look from the duo. "What?" He chuckled. "What I'm saying is, what if just as the gates suddenly appeared, they just suddenly disappear. What if we no longer have our powers? If that happens it'd be good to have something to fall back on." Mori smiled.
"Didn't think you'd have brains." Yoonho huffed, an understanding nod received from Miho.
"Me neither." Miho said before they all laughed.
"You fucks!" Mori suddenly stops laughing. "I'll have you know I'm quite smart." He said, standing up from his chair and putting one foot on the chair.
"Sure." Yoonho rolls his eyes.
After a few more minutes of drinking and chatting, the three parted ways as it was starting to get late.
Walking in the streets, Mori was engrossed in his own thoughts. 'Guess I can't get drunk anymore...' He thought dejectedly.
*Ring*
Mori casually reaches into his pocket and answers his phone. "Moshi moshi."
[Boss...] Fatty spoke, his tone somber.
"What's up Fatty?" Mori spoke cheerfully, but his expression quickly turns serious as Fatty speaks. "Stay there. I'm coming."
---
Thirty minutes earlier, Fatty stood inside the gate in front of his team. They had just entered the last gate they were going to raid for the day.
"Alright. Let's finish this quickly and get home for some much needed sleep." Fatty spoke, cheering his team up. He had raided two gates before this one. Not wanting to tire out his team, he swapped the members with others.
"Sir." a Girl raised her arm, gaining Fatty's attention. "Is it true you were the previous Guild Master of the guild?" She asks, her question bringing silence to the rest of the team as they too wanted to know this as they were part of the newest batch of Hunter's the Guild hired.
"Yeah, but I gave the title to Mori as I thought he could lead it better." Fatty Calmly answered. Although they were within a gate at the moment, it was only D-Rank, so Fatty didn't care much for the relaxed expressions of his team. "Watch out!" Fatty exclaimed.
Suddenly the same girl who asked a question fell to the ground, causing the team to draw their weapons.
Fatty looked around the dungeon, standing in front of the unconscious girl. "Someone look if she's wounded." Fatty commanded as one of the Mages crouched down and flipped the girl over.
"Oh my god!" The mage gasped. In front of him, the girl's blood flowed out of her neck.
"Shit!" Fatty cursed, not knowing what happened.
