by misacchi“Are you planning to stay in the dormitory?”
“Yeah. I might move out once I find a place, but for now, I’ll stay in the dorm. It’s practically like an apartment anyway.”
“Our guild’s benefits are really doing their job.”

“I’ll continue working as a hunter for the June Guild for the next three years as per our initial contract. I’ll try to keep things quiet. Is that okay?”
It hadn’t even been two months since he joined the June Guild. However, thanks to the bus Soohyuk provided, he managed to complete 99 dungeon raids with ease. He received plenty of items and conveniences. He planned to stay with the June Guild for at least the three years as stated in the initial contract.

With another S-class hunter, Yoon Soohyuk, in the June Guild, he figured he could keep a low profile. Of course, operating as a one-man guild would make it easier to handle hidden dungeon quests, but he could manage that with some adjustments.
“I’ll make sure you receive the best treatment, hunter Kim Minjun.”

Jung Seongwon assured him with a broad smile. They agreed to draft a new contract after thoroughly discussing their opinions. They also decided to report the changed rank to the National Security Agency at that time.
Once Jung Seongwon left after saying they’d meet again tomorrow, only Minjun and Soohyuk remained in the guild leader’s office.

“Are you planning to retire quietly after three years?”
“Ah, yes.”

Minjun nodded at Soohyuk’s question. His plan was to quietly work and then semi-retire.
“That won’t be easy, you know?”

“We’ll see when the time comes. I might not fully retire, but I’ll probably semi-retire.”
Soohyuk didn’t say anything to Minjun, who mentioned retirement with a clear face. An S-class hunter talking about retirement—it was a big dream.

Soohyuk scrapped all the plans he had to prevent Minjun’s retirement. There was no need to encourage overspending to keep him hunting or to make him famous with his handsome face. Just being reawakened as an S-class hunter was enough. Plus, being a universally acknowledged handsome man meant retirement was practically out of the question.
He didn’t know what his relationship with Minjun would be like in three years, but for now, he had to do his best to win him over.

“I wish you a smooth retirement.”
“Thank you.”

“Oh, I’m curious. How has your buff skill changed? The numbers must have gone up.”
“Not by much. It’s at 77%, with a duration of 99 minutes, and it takes about eight hours to reuse. Hmm, the numbers didn’t increase much, but it requires a lot of mana. It’s more efficient for me to fight directly rather than using all my mana on the buff skill, so I’ll have to use it wisely.”

Soohyuk quietly laughed at Minjun’s calculation, saying 77% wasn’t much. He didn’t mention that S-class hunters obsessed with getting stronger would vehemently oppose his retirement.
“Yeah, it’s better for you to fight. Now, let’s go grab dinner. I’ve made a reservation at a restaurant I went to before. I was confident our youngest would reawaken. You said you liked it there, right?”

“The meat was good.”
After practicing his skills in the second F-rank Dungeon and having a conversation with Jung Seongwon, it was already past 6 PM. Hearing Soohyuk mention the restaurant reservation, Minjun followed without much thought.

Minjun returned to the dormitory after dinner well past 10 PM. Normally, he would head straight to the bathroom, but not tonight.

He grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and took a sip before retrieving a magical artifact from his inventory. The artifact, a seemingly ordinary gold pocket watch called the “Compass of Infinity,” had the ability to locate the source of a curse.
The method of use was simple: smear the blood of the cursed person on the orb and activate the artifact. However, using the “Compass of Infinity” required immense mana, making it essential to be an S-class. Despite its inefficiency, the artifact was made with expensive materials, and the tower master had demanded a high price for it.

Minjun had no intention of delaying the search for the source of the curse. As an S-class, his soul synchronization rate dropped faster than when he was a C-class. Although he still had plenty of magic stones, postponing what he could do now didn’t suit his nature.
If something like a cursed doll was buried in the ground, he could lift the curse today. However, doing so would prevent him from cross-checking whether Joo Myunghwan was the culprit.

“That’s fine.”
Clutching the pocket watch tightly, Minjun murmured quietly. Lifting the curse took precedence over Joo Myunghwan.

Just as he was about to retrieve a dagger from his inventory to draw blood from his finger, his phone vibrated repeatedly in his coat pocket.
As expected, it was a message from Soohyuk.

[Guild leader Yoon Soohyuk: (Emoji)]
Seeing the emoji of a bear holding a heart, Minjun couldn’t help but smile. The intimidatingly handsome man often used cute emojis without a second thought.

Reading Soohyuk’s messages again, Minjun felt a bit strange. Even after becoming an S-class hunter, Soohyuk’s protective demeanor remained unchanged.
He insisted on accompanying Minjun into the dungeon for skill practice, citing the many hunters who had been injured during such training.

That wasn’t all. He offered plenty of advice and suggestions: extract as much money as possible from the vice guild leader when drafting a new contract, sell guild and personal items at a reasonable price, acquire mythical-grade weapons directly since they aren’t available on the market, maintain good relations with other S-class hunters, and leverage his improved buff skill stats to secure good items during collaborations.
He also warned that not everything would be rosy just because he became an S-class, and that the more attention he received, the more ups and downs he would face. In such times, he should seek help from the guild and himself.

Minjun didn’t think Soohyuk’s advice was unnecessary. Instead, he understood that to Soohyuk, he was still a twenty-year-old rookie hunter, regardless of his rank.
Perhaps it was an instinctive devotion that a follower offers to their deity. Yet, every time Soohyuk showed such natural kindness, it was touching. Jung Seongwon was no different. Suggesting the possibility of establishing a one-man guild was also a consideration for a hunter who had lost his memory and had no social experience. Staying with the June Guild was a wise choice.

Minjun chuckled pleasantly and sent a simple message.
[Kim Minjun: Okay.]

[Kim Minjun: (Emoji)]
When Soohyuk sent another cute emoji, Minjun responded with a similar one. After confirming Soohyuk’s message about meeting tomorrow, Minjun turned off his phone.

“My mana is almost fully restored.”
Minjun checked his mana level on the status window. The mana that had decreased due to skill practice in the dungeon had nearly recovered.

Taking a dagger from his inventory, Minjun sliced his fingertip and smeared the flowing blood on the pocket watch. Instantly, a large amount of mana drained away, and the pocket watch began to glow white. The two clock hands, which had been spinning in place, pointed in one direction.
Holding the pocket watch in one hand, Minjun picked up his shoes from the entrance and crossed the living room. After putting on his shoes on the balcony, he opened the window.

Naturally, Minjun placed his foot on the balcony railing, activated his stealth skill, and leaped outside. He raced toward the direction indicated by the pocket watch’s hands. Jumping across the rooftops of tall and short buildings, he arrived at Mount Gwanak.
Avoiding the hiking trails, Minjun entered the mountain and moved swiftly along the ridge. The black night sky was filled with clouds. The only light came from the pocket watch Minjun held. However, thanks to his recovery as an S-class, it wasn’t difficult to grasp the surrounding terrain.

It wasn’t long before the direction of the clock hands changed, and Minjun came to a halt. Standing at the edge of a deep, deserted valley, Minjun clicked his tongue.
“It’s buried underground.”

When the pocket watch’s hands pointed to Mount Gwanak instead of a populated area, he realized that the source of the curse wasn’t a person. It was clear that something had been buried in a place untouched by human feet.
“Where is it?”

Minjun carefully observed the movement of the hands and moved slowly. After climbing up and down the rocky valley a few times, he pinpointed the exact location.
It was between rocks where no human could ever reach. Minjun summoned an earth spirit to clear away the tightly packed mud, leaves, and pebbles from the crevice. Before long, the earth spirit retrieved a small object wrapped in old cloth from deep within.

【It’s filthy.】
As Minjun’s rank was restored, the power of the spirit he contracted with also grew. It began to express its opinions more actively.

This time, the earth spirit, shaped like a small fox rather than a yellow kitten, showed its immense dislike by nudging the bundle of cloth toward Minjun with its paw.
“Filthy, huh…”

Minjun had received the same advice from both the tower master who had taken all his wealth and the empire’s renowned curse practitioner. Once you find the object linked to the curse, don’t get curious about what it is, don’t even think about examining it closely—just destroy it on the spot.
The best method was to smash it with a consecrated weapon, followed by burning it. If those options weren’t available, delivering a physically strong impact was also acceptable.
