    However, the process was complicated by the fact that Minjun’s fingerprints were not found. As an awakened psychic, he was not registered with the association or the government. It was known that you had to be over 20 years old to awaken your special powers, so the existence of an unregistered resident left officials scratching their heads.

    Eventually, it was concluded that Minjun had lost his memory and awakened his powers during a dungeon break just before he was due to register as a resident. With no immediate means of locating his family, his photo was posted on a state-sanctioned list of unidentified persons. He also had to register his DNA, but it was no worry.

    Because of the awakening of his ability, he was assumed to be a 20-year-old adult and received a national ID card. He was able to use Kim Minjun as his name because it was displayed in the status window.

    After the visit to the police station, it took him just over a week to file an ability awakening report under his new identity. Amnesiac, penniless, and barely an adult, all the state could offer the hunter was a decent place to stay and a small stipend.

    In the twelve years after the first cataclysm, people with supernatural abilities averaged less than 0.3% of all humans, and the percentage of licensed hunters was even less.

    hunters, on the other hand, were always in high demand. Not only combat hunters who could clear dungeons, but also specialty hunters were welcome everywhere. Even if they were low-ranked, there were countless things that only a hunter could do, so the state provided the minimum welfare and arranged jobs for them.

    Before being swept away to the other world, Minjun, who was very busy as a hunter, hadn’t even realised that such welfare existed. After all, the existence of welfare meant that society had stabilised, and so that was a good thing anyway.

    “I need to fix that door.”

    Deciding to buy hinges and fix the utility room door, Minjun began to prepare breakfast. Since returning to Korea from the other world, he started putting a lot of thought into his diet.

    This morning’s menu was bacon spaghetti that he was craving. Taking a bag of spaghetti that said it served 2-3 people, he added sliced garlic, whole garlic, ground garlic, and tossed in a bunch of thick slices of bacon. To top it all off, a couple of bean sprouts were also sliced and added to Minjun’s liking. The finished spaghetti was served in a large bowl, but Minjun quickly devoured it.

    After emptying the bowl, Minjun washed the dishes and started cleaning. There was little furniture besides the bed, so a quick sweep and mop was all that needed to be done.

    “Ahh, that’s good.”

    Minjun stretched out on the couch in his living room, sighing. In the three months since returning to Korea from the other world, Minjun had been living a carefree life. His part-time job at a courier distribution centre was only three days a week. On weekends, he rested. The rest of the time was spent watching TV or WeTube.

    There was not a lot of income between the government benefits and his part-time job, but since he didn’t have a lot of expenses other than food, he was able to get by just fine.

    He had never been so lazy in his life. He grew up being taught that chores shouldn’t be put off. He washed dishes, cleaned, and picked up glass bottles from a young age for his maternal grandmother, who earned her living as a restaurant assistant. Since middle school, part-time jobs had been a way of life. After his maternal grandmother later passed away, he stayed busy. As soon as he graduated from high school, he joined a small packaging business.

    Since awakening on the day of the first cataclysm, he hadn’t had a moment’s rest from slaying monsters. It was the same in the other world; he had to do whatever it took to survive.

    It was his first break in almost 20 years. It was so relaxing and nice to be lazy. If it weren’t for the “existence dilution”, he would be happy to continue to stay lazy like this.

    The urge to stay in bed, watch TV, and fall asleep was overwhelming, but Minjun decided not to procrastinate on today’s task, so he put on his padded clothes and left the house to buy the hinges.

    The cold winter winds of January blew hard, but Minjun didn’t feel much of a chill. Awakening as a hunter made him greatly immune to the external environment.

    The home improvement store that sold the hinges was 10 minutes from the apartment complex’s main entrance. Walking lightly down the sidewalk, Minjun stopped dead in his tracks.

    “…?”

    For his face appeared on a giant TV in an electronics store. Or, more accurately, it was him before he went to the other world, before he was fused with the spirit stones. He looked a lot like his current self, but his face was more angular and hard.

    On the TV, the image of him briefly looking at the camera and then casually turning his head was edited quite significantly.

    “Docu…?”

    The top right corner of the screen reads “The Cataclysm, 12 Years of Records – Part 3,” so it seemed like it was probably a documentary program.

    As soon as he got his hands on the phone, he looked up his past self. To his surprise, he who was a S-class hunter was christened the hero who saved Korea from a second apocalypse.

    However, it was never his intention. He’d barely finished the dungeon raid when he was cursed, and by the time he exited the gate, a ten-headed hydra was ravaging Seoul. He was in terrible shape, but alas, there were no other hunters to take on the hydra but himself. As Minjun used his skills with his lethargic body, he was swept away by a distortion in space and time.

    He understood that calling a hunter who died saving many lives a hero was a gesture of gratitude from the survivors. But regardless, whenever he saw articles and videos honouring the so-called hero Kim Minjun, embarrassment made his fingers and toes tingle.

    What hero, he had been just feeling desperate.

    Tearing his eyes away from the TV, which once again showcased his face on a large screen, Minjun pretended to be oblivious and headed to the home goods store. It didn’t take him long to buy hinges, screws, clay, and a screwdriver.

    At that moment,

    Bzzzz.

    As he was about to leave the store, Minjun’s phone, as well as everyone else’s phones, started ringing sharply at the same time.

    [Notification from the National Security Agency.

    A sudden dungeon break occurred near the Pearl River intersection in Yonggil-dong.

    Seeing the disaster text, Minjun frowned slightly.

    A dungeon break, when monsters burst out of a gate, happened in three stages.

    Initially, something known as cracks appeared in thin air. These cracks, which could occur indoors or outdoors, would eventually turn into gates, which were flat rectangular dungeon entrances. If the dungeon boss was not defeated within a certain time period, the black gate would turn red and the dungeon break would explode.

    The name “sudden” referred to when it took less than an hour for a crack to turn into break. In Seoul, there were about six or seven sudden dungeon breaks a month. Compared to the early days of the catastrophe, the frequency had increased, and people were becoming increasingly anxious.

    The Pearl River intersection was two bus stops from where he was currently, which was probably why there was a lot of buzz in the store.

    It was a well-established belief that cracks and gates occurred in places where the population was concentrated. In the case of South Korea, 90% were in and around Seoul. Seoul was also where the most sudden dungeon breaks occurred.

    Unlike in the early days of the catastrophe, when you could be attacked by monsters pouring out of a dungeon break out of nowhere, you could now defend yourself with items crafted by hunters who specialised in crafting, or go into buildings with defence shields that could keep monsters at bay.

    Sure, a D-grade break was relatively safe, but it was still not enough for the public to walk the streets, so people didn’t want to leave the store.

    Minjun watched the door open automatically and then ran out of the store. As he watched people on the street scurry into nearby stores, he ducked into a narrow alley between buildings. Seeing that no one was around, he quickly scaled the wall and climbed to the top of the building.

    He originally planned to ignore the dungeon break and go back to his apartment to sleep, but he was not a bit hesitant, wondering if he should just go and take a quick look?

    While Grade D sudden dungeon breaks tended to be resolved quickly, there were always exceptions. If the guild in charge of the area didn’t react quickly enough, the damage could be significant after all.

    “Let’s just see what happens.”

    Determined to watch from afar, Minjun searched for the Pearl River intersection on his phone. He figured out the direction of the intersection from where he was, and then he moved, jumping from rooftop to rooftop, high and low.

    Not long after he started running, a commotion in the distance could be heard. hunters were fighting monsters pouring out of the gate where the dungeon break had occurred. Instead of running to that place, Minjun turned around.

    His senses picked up on a small monster that was quickly moving away from the scene of the accident. Monsters that jumped out of Grade D dungeons tended to be less dangerous. However, it was not uncommon for small monsters, such as rats and cats, to escape the eyes of hunters.

    The monsters that appeared due to the dungeon break were extremely aggressive towards living humans, so if an ordinary civilian got in their way, it would cause a lot of trouble.
