[In Front of the Kids] Once again, Kim Seonghan was acting as both the driver and bodyguard. Neither Yerim nor I had a driver’s license. More accurately, I didn’t have one at this point in time. I got my license and bought a car after I had somewhat settled as a hunter, even if I…

[Human Resources Manager (3)] “Sorry, but I’m comfortable just as I am.” I’ve decided to live quietly, like a docile lizard on a rock. …Though considering the things I’ve got going on, I might not be living as quietly as I planned. Still, it would be such a waste to let my precious skills go…

[Human Resources Manager (2)] The reception room had an antique charm. The overall interior was influenced by Eastern designs, while classic Western furniture was arranged in a way that, despite seeming mismatched, blended well together. Knowing Seok Gimyeong’s personality, all the furniture here was probably genuine antique. Once I sat down on the black leather…

[Human Resources Manager (1)] [Mr. Han Yujin? Can you hear me?] When I didn’t respond, Seok Gimyeong tried again. I wanted to just say I couldn’t hear and hang up. Seok Gimyeong, the HR Manager of the Haeyeon Guild. A peculiar man who, despite being a B-rank Awakened, rarely entered dungeons and stuck to office…

[ Like a Shrimp (2) ] “Yerim? You signed a contract to join Haeyeon Guild, remember?” “It was a priority, not an absolute. Didn’t you help me revise that, Mister?” Yes, I did. Yerim spoke in a sharp tone. “I’ll add a condition to my contract with Haeyeon Guild that Mister will be my guardian….

[ Like a Shrimp (1) ] Phew, finally resolved another one. Now, all that’s left is to wrap up the contract and help with the awakening. “This is so embarrassing, saying all this stuff I’m not used to. Hurry up and sign; I’ll awaken you.” “Alright. Haha, that was so funny.” “Don’t laugh.” “Your neck’s…

[ The Second S-Class (2) ] -Sizzle The richly marbled sirloin steak made a mouthwatering sound as it landed on the grill. Beside it, the hanwoo gopchang (beef intestines) sizzled, its fat bubbling up deliciously. The world is definitely worth living in. A drink of soju or beer would have been perfect with this, but…

[ The Second S-Class (1) ] The weather had gotten a bit hotter than yesterday. I was wandering around Myeongdong Station, an ice bar in my mouth. A barbecue place near Myeongdong Station. That was the only lead I had on the current whereabouts of the Ice Witch, Park Yerim. “Excuse me, does a student…

[ Flame Horned Lion (2) ] “Does that damn cat eat mana stones?” “Technically, you have to mix mana stone powder with meat for it to eat. It won’t touch raw meat alone.” That cat has some expensive tastes. Even if it eats just one mana stone a day, that’s 300 million won a month,…

[Flame Horned Lion (1)] After exchanging phone numbers with Yu Myungwoo, the future SS-rank skill holder, I said goodbye. Getting him into Haeyeon Guild would be another challenge, but maybe I could convince Yuhyun by insisting that I sensed something extraordinary about Myungwoo. When I returned to Haeyeon Guild, it seemed that rumors had already…
