A firm voice cut through the tension between Haerang, Horang, and Hyeon. Hyeon tightened his coat to hide his bloodstained clothes and straightened his back. Haerang, still recovering from exhausting his holy power, steadied his dizzy head and stood up. Horang remained slumped in her chair, half-melted into it. “...Sister, get up.” “What? Are they here to take me away? Why should I, the innocent victim, bother getting up?” “Ha…” “Fine, fine. I’ll get up.” Horang leaned…-

The moment Hyeon closed the distance of barely a meter in an instant with a single step and drew the sword hidden in his cane, Horang’s eyes narrowed. She raised a hand, and a thorn made of dark energy materialized, embedding itself in Hyeon’s neck. He collapsed to the floor, clutching at the thorn as if trying to pull it out. “Hmm, what should I do? Should I kill this one or not?” Horang mused aloud, her tone casual despite the tension in the air. “Ugh…” Hyeon groaned, his face twisted…

Bound in midair and unable to do anything but grind his teeth in frustration, Haerang finally shook off his denial of the situation. He placed a hand on Horang’s shoulder. “Noona, stop it. What’s gotten into you all of a sudden?” “That bastard tried to grab your neck. How are you, a hunter, so terrible at sensing danger? At the very least, you should never let anything come close to your neck, heart, or solar plexus.” “It’s not like I can keep dust away from…

Horang stepped into the room, an annoyed expression etched on her face. She stood before the Narin, arms crossed, silently staring at it instead of touching it. Watching her, Haerang's anxiety grew. Is she going to get angry and destroy the place? Haerang wasn't entirely sure of Horang's power, but he had heard stories from those who had been in Paju with them. When the Baek siblings reunited, the person who attacked them was reportedly an A-grade mage. More specifically, this…

Though such matters can be easily summarized in a few words, revamping the entire system as a leader of a newly established center must have involved numerous ups and downs. Looking at her face more closely now, Hyeyeon certainly had the demeanor of a good leader—not just kind but also firm and, when necessary, coldly decisive. People with such expressions were always the ones who, when catastrophe struck, stood at the forefront to save others at the cost of their own lives. And Horang, who had often…

Turning her head this way and that, she spotted a stone placed in front of a towering building. Carved onto the stone in rather elegant handwriting were the words Korea Hunter Association. “Ah, so this is the Association.” Even among the faintly emerging memories, this was a place she’d never once visited. Haerang, however, remembered going in and out of here multiple times with their parents for awakening tests and various paperwork. In that case, Haerang…

International Hunter Association. As its name suggests, it was an organization operated as an international entity. Since hunters were an irreplaceable human resource, the moment they joined, they became individuals who didn’t belong to any single country. Before the gates started appearing, they might have been simply regarded as refugees, but with the power hunters wielded and the banner of world peace they carried, Association members were treated as VIPs in every country. In the…

How am I supposed to explain this? Tell him, “Your sister isn’t human anymore”? The thought that Haerang might actually believe it made it even more unsettling than the idea of him thinking I was crazy. I didn’t want to share the miserable details of my past with him. What do I do about this? The chicken meat in my mouth, which had been full of flavor moments ago, now felt like tasteless rubber. As I mechanically chewed the meat until it turned into minced pieces, I finally opened my mouth…

Horang, seemingly carefree unlike the somber Haerang, chatted cheerfully during the car ride home. “Hey, Haerang. What’s that?” “Huh? Oh… it’s just a billboard. It’s just a bit large, that’s all.” “No, I mean, what’s that thing showing up on it?” “…Noona, that’s a cellphone.” Haerang’s expression, previously maintained with the calm demeanor of a guild master, finally broke. Cellphone designs hadn't changed dramatically in the 10 years…

“Th-this doesn’t make any sense…” Haerang muttered under his breath, staring oddly at the figure before him when someone quickly grabbed him as he attempted to lunge forward. “Guild Master Haerang, are you crazy? Where do you think you’re going right now?” “That’s her, that’s my sister, my sister Baek Horang… She's my sister.” “Guild Master, I know you’ve been looking for your sister for ten years, but why are you suddenly saying this now?” “Damn it, open your…
