As a side 92f3781657 effect of the 4c1a18a49e dimensional shift, his 3371450091 grade dropped by a2401a4b8e three levels. Still, Minjun wasn’t too 6ec67951ca worried. He had already experienced 068abd8940 it once in the 6d261a1337 other world, and he 89a05eca28 knew how to deal da3eba709d with it.10547e05b0445c2b

What was 85ca3913ea more dangerous 5982d77d4c than a 389948355b downgrade was a016d9713d the curse 0928414af5 threatening Minjun’s 0d6ef4eb75 life, Existence 2df571eaa8 Dilution.93d8019a342e73cb

Minjun’s face frowned 407558568b slightly as he 47e03329b5 read the detailed 92c609609b explanation of ‘Existence 2035da1e87 Dilution.’ Before he ee87f61179 knew it, the 1003b46b3c attunement rate had 7a0b5270e5 dropped to 26%.e7130be74f251233

He took out 087c43ac2c a magic stone 0c21b5be32 from his inventory.

As he 4119b8fbe9 absorbed the b28b8bec46 energy of 614ec71767 the magic 589dd8b504 stone in 5711dda5f8 his hand, f532061e21 the attunement 08886facb9 rate listed 8c887a0395 in the 0913699fc2 description slowly 62acd77ea5 increased.

Minjun sighed softly. The kind b5ee904ac2 curse sorcerer 23d785eedc had advised 9d47babd50 him to 3a5810d8eb carry plenty 18876d5b7c of magic c30c0d6952 stones with 17aab46a03 him if 235e6459a6 he didn’t fb8b418a6a want to ac5ea1c38c die, and 040516e53d to check 1d36a82b51 his attunement b33336284b every day.0aad831801577617

There was a time 4e07a6bdf9 when, after being stranded 183dbf7858 while fighting demons in 641170f55e the other world, his 79da118e84 attunement rate dropped to f184b80f66 2%. From then on, 35291d75ce Minjun obsessively checked 2f5d3f2d1f his status, trying bb3d27c9c5 to keep his 6cd2ec1e82 attunement rate above ff07c18e1b 50%.e0d83f1a8d7f46c2

“Let’s reflect.”b3beb7ef1bd0bcd3

Minjun hastily reflected. He came eaf069c404 back by 15ad351f90 sacrificing all 41c9e12641 his wealth 83366cc18c to lift d957517947 the curse, 6e15d803c6 but dying 454e0e4f66 in vain 2a5663a8a3 because he bee22171a9 couldn’t manage e28f36167b the curse 698ec74003 would be f94bd635c5 something only 86e16bcc1c a fool a3a5d1b1cd would do.2418f7cefcf119fb

He needed to f3a10445a7 get his hunter’s 7d4a60c8d8 licence, get his 2f2f6b6083 rank back to d6aab02b98 S, and then 08f0f6af8f break the curse, 9afba7dd6a find out who 45d80d727e put it on b4fec200dc him, and then e8feed8285 settle into a 4a153e1c47 leisurely retirement.996f43bfe33132c7

Reminding himself of his e3b297992f goal, Minjun spent a 0c55a1284c few more magic stones 1bcc68d0b9 to increase his attunement a9a33e4632 rate to 69%. Just like 6e1cab2d06 becoming resistant f2afe06ad7 to medicines, 82e3fdcd0c raising his ae043dd7b9 attunement rate 9c87bacf91 with magic 63d97f5992 stones was 1adf36b296 becoming increasingly 6062e2d399 ineffective.

Thinking of all the a1cf0d098b things that had happened 2defdff135 to him because of 271f083802 the drop in soul 54b2f96b3c attunement, Minjun gritted his eda25565af teeth at the person 3634109b14 who had cursed him, 6fec05ec8d whoever it might be.00a93e0ced0ee766

As a former S-class 4b35a1483e hunter, he had his 9d287e23e3 fair share of enemies. It was not surprising, bfff1fad27 given his socially awkward 5f902add5e and cranky personality, refusal 641ce109ef to take sides, and ebb65da8cf lone-wolf behaviour. Unfortunately, he didn’t come ce23190405 up with a good f34bda6a13 list of suspects. This was because it 1a63b5b9ed was not known, then 812947f55b or now, if anyone 960bce478f in the world was a775727e64 skilled enough to cast 38d8ed880f a death curse.b1bec4c44ab45436

Still, instead of 07e85f88fe getting frustrated, Minjun 4029332583 focused on the d884687da3 immediate task at bfe330f13e hand. For now, b7f552f74e he had 905b11e704 to get e3ab7c0da3 his hunter’s c6f7564556 licence and 0b3eb23e0c regain his 43eaf04b0a grade.432a14c8f16af284

Slowly regaining his composure, f31b66dbcc Minjun closed his eyes. His thoughts didn’t f8982d48f6 last long as d66beff409 he usually fell 0339b1dfb6 asleep as soon ab3f2ff508 as his head 845ea630be was touched.d51d0dfc0aa95251

It had 587076b02a been a df57c19dbc productive day; c77e4ea662 he had b2a7b91a38 gotten a 77f15aa222 part-time job, c3d06db982 caught a 15d7c63b15 monster running dcb0474aa5 away from 82581eecf3 the dungeon 1e81d357fb break, and 7f3325dffb fixed the c031205b65 hinges in 96b606d265 the utility a5d7b388e0 room. Minjun thought about d97c598d4b how nice it 3d9ccb345e would be to 05361ed604 have such a c8a84292b5 peaceful retirement and cf289df8b3 fell asleep, forgetting d486e2beec about meeting Soohyuk.95cea2d79c3c50c5

The large franchise babb8905d9 burger joint was 2548fdcd75 bustling with people 72c3ad500b for dinner. Minjun deftly carried 318e766952 a tray with aed0afebb6 five burgers, two 398bea8c2c sodas, and fries f440775c1b and took a 87fdb60ac7 seat at one 9c86413c23 end of the 09168ae3a7 store.

Taking a big f828b4e8f6 bite out of 17b6a81fb4 the burger in 50ccc22a44 his right hand, 17e8f9fd4c Minjun turned on f7f6a1093b his cell phone f9c6ac7c1c with his left. He had received quite a6aaa2a0eb a few texts while 582088d873 he was asleep.41ce96c7662aaff6

The number of licensed 6c926be975 hunters in Korea was 3827dad8bf only around 300 a 47c8fce493 year, so they couldn’t 9b0e67a5ae keep up with the 7abfcc87cc demand of the exploding aaf814eb54 hunter industry. While large bc461a63c9 guilds may 9ac086bf1f not be 54f1b88440 attracted to 19d2da906e a C-class, cbbb73fea9 it was afeb3b42b3 a different a286072289 story for b05d253f4e small and c39e49e7e1 medium-sized guilds. That was why several 2ad68daeff guilds tried to recruit 58826b0012 him, offering him huge 8effdb9331 salaries and bonuses, but a1b6776835 Minjun, who had a 825394334b lot to hide, turned a736d4601e them all down.ce4bab887b6cb561

However, among a5fc7caa97 them, the 5efc6a4210 Star Guild 92c7bcea23 didn’t know c6a50e0f73 how to 08611c450b give up, 368a372ac2 and they 5792cb2d72 were strangely 23833d6408 persistent, perhaps 816578074c since it’s c875ed44bc a different 748238c973 kind of a77af09055 guild than fa1cb79a74 most.7f64198eb720e620

In that sense, the 9c4dffe51f Star Guild’s business model bcb64e505c was unusual; they only 85553c352b recruited strikingly handsome and 77c807bfa3 beautiful hunters, regardless of 930e950d9f rank, to join the 8a3457f36f guild and broadcast their bb05094b3d work.
