Chapter 8

Kim Ji-Han handed over the "Taereung" Knights Order’s business card to Sae-Jin.

"…As I mentioned before…"

"I know. The thing is, though, human minds can change at any time, no? Honestly speaking, trying to tough it out alone, especially in our profession as Hunters where we already enjoy a pretty short life expectancy, isn’t going to work out in the long run. Of course, I’m sure there are pluses to going solo. But hell, don’t you agree that being unable to participate in The Fissure Exploration is too big a missed opportunity?"

In this world, there existed a separate dimension called The Fissure. A place that existed between dimensions, a world between worlds - that was a Fissure. There were numerous, countless Monsters infesting a Fissure, and the only way to "erase" one was to kill every single Monster residing within it. And there was the matter of pure, hard net profit that could be earned when erasing a Fissure which was at minimum, over $890K, or, as much over $9 million. It didn’t matter if you were a Hunter or a Knight, participating even once in a Fissure Exploration was a sure-fire way to earn not only great fame and acclaim, but a healthier bank balance as well.

"Give it another consideration. When paired together with a Knight, a Heavenly Gifted Hunter can shine even more, you see. Ah, right. Before that… Did you take down that Skeleton Soldier using that mace?"

Kim Ji-Han asked in a tone of voice that implied he couldn’t understand how it was done. It was just plainly impossible for a regular person to defeat a Low Tier Monster alone, after all.

"Yes. It’s a quality weapon for sure but… my family members all had inherited strong constitutions."

"Oh…. if you say so…"

In today’s world where the abilities "Mana Utilisation" and "Mana Affinity" were strictly divided into two distinct categories, the normal remained within the bounds of the common sense, but there was no longer any limits applicable for the ones deemed exceptional.

Those with good Mana Affinity didn’t need any special teachings to accumulate Mana other than to just breathe, and in time, they could become the proverbial super-men that were fundamentally different from the likes of normal citizens out there.

Although few in number, these Superman types did exist among the Hunters. They were existences that fell just short of becoming a true, full-on Knight as even though they possessed enough affinity with Mana, they still lacked the necessary Mana Utilisation, so most of them ended up eking out a living as Hunters. Of course, it was still a special power that the regular, powerless people wished they could have it too.

"Alright, I’ll think about it. Now then, excuse me, I’m running out of time."

There were still around 10 minutes left in the clock, but Sae-Jin felt it was slightly burdensome to deal with people right now.

"Right. Well, if you change your mind, we’d appreciate it greatly if you give us a call first. Our Taereung Knights Order is famous for treating all its members very well, regardless of whether it’s a Knight or a Hunter, you see."

Maybe it was in consideration of a Grey Wolf’s supposed strengths, the agility, his overall size didn’t increase even after the the Trait level hitting 4 but, his ferocious, dangerous aura now easily equalled that of a great tiger. And hunting became quite easier too in the Wolf Form without resorting to doping now.

Most of the Low Tier Monsters died a

fter a single surprise attack from Sae-Jin. He’d saunter into a thicket to hide and wait for a prey, and in that moment when one entered the killing zone… With a shocking explosion of speed that didn’t even leave behind a blur, his fangs would sink deep into the necks of his victims. If one was tempted to describe this hunting method, it’d be "One Hit, One Kill."
