[ 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…

[From Today, We’re Old Friends] The hunchbacked man who looked worn down by life had failed to acquire an SS-rank skill! Judging by the skill’s name, it was clearly a crafting-related special skill. Unbelievable. Even five years from now, not a single equipment crafting skill would have been discovered. And here I am, seeing one…

[Hunter Association (2)] The gift card held a whopping one billion won. Wow, I told him I needed money, and he just casually throws a billion at me. Is this even okay? Do I not have to pay gift tax? Are S-rank hunters exempt from gift taxes too? Feeling dazed, I pulled out the card…

[Hunter Association (1)] Before going to find Park Yerim, I headed to the Hunter Association to register as an Awakened and purchase a contract item. Korean Hunter Association. It started as an Awakened Registration Center established by the government, which then evolved into an association with the support of the three major guilds. The Hunter…

[Something’s Wrong with My Brother (4)] As the world began to adapt to dungeons, being a hunter became famous as a lucrative profession. S-ranks were on another level, but even B-ranks could easily make tens of millions of won a month. C-ranks had annual incomes in the hundreds of millions, and even D-ranks could earn…
