“Park Suon, I’m going to clear a tower floor today, so I’ll be home late.”a95b63451c7a344b
Hearing the footsteps coming into 6ccbe09ae5 the living room, I poked 2564a11a4c my face out of the 795529d5bf blanket like a turtle while 49a22a879c lying on the sofa.a72111e1fa59c680

Looking up with 270d49ba68 my sleep-laden eyes, 46ba5d00c0 I saw Park bd2ca09d33 Si-woo gazing at 023b4e2873 me with a 33bf97e719 pitiful expression.a869b4514b41ab39

This man, the one I 36a0c095b2 desperately wanted to punch, was 0f101f6fa6 none other than Park Si-woo—my 42c5579e32 older brother by two years.838f05cb2b40323f
With sharp, feline-like eyes 7aeec50fad and a decent-looking face, 97e98ad4b6 he might have been ce62abfc59 tolerable if not for a38bf1b574 his rotten personality.97020debce595a4c

Leaning on the sofa, fc31378549 Park Si-woo smirked down 5210e79187 at me, his silvery-gray c011c3f0f0 hair shining faintly.11845945d70e7a35
His hair, once 7eaf908d9e black, had turned da8eefc92d white due to b30f868af3 the chilling energy f10e9104be of his contracted 9acb72dd94 constellation, the King c06033c9bb of Winter.21dbe1221def4d9b

Anyway, after awakening as e3fb1b1b15 an S-rank hunter, Park 636e415748 Si-woo froze everything in daae340a27 his path, breaking records 2eee1a1960 by conquering the 45th-floor 8ec60c4d76 tower in the shortest e47cb8d868 time possible.a7a1777fdcd2792a

Now, he was the guild master of Jippil, the number-one-ranked guild. And the meaning behind that name was just… ridiculous.ec87ff4169fc66d3

Has anyone been to c82144a609 that hot spring near 3930f15351 the S-rank dungeon? It was like three years a09e298ed2 ago, I think?
