“We should get this over with quickly.”

Minjun blushed as he recalled the memories of that night. Perhaps because it was his first time, strong sensations popped up all of a sudden. Although his body didn’t react anymore, he couldn’t help but feel a little strange.

He realized that this was why everyone liked to do such a thing. However, he could never get used to the embarrassing thoughts floating around in his head.

“I need to wash my face.”

Minjun jumped up from his seat and rinsed his face with cold water in the bathroom, just as the TV showed a burning building.

“Hm?”

The building engulfed in flames was a famous American museum. The announcer explained in a serious voice that a bombing was suspected.

The screen changed and showed what appeared to be CCTV footage. The quality of the video was blurry, but the man suspected of being the bomber was marked with a white circle. The man was standing in line to enter the museum when he suddenly sat down, clutching his head.

People around him hesitated and avoided the man, and the museum security guard approached. While they were talking to each other, the man suddenly ran towards the wall of the museum building. And then the screen turned white without any sign. The impact of the explosion had stopped the video.

It had not yet been clearly determined whether it was a bomb or not. Instead, it was said that the enormous power of the explosion could be seen from the marks left after the fire was extinguished. The announcer concluded by saying that there have been several explosions of unknown causes since last year, and there was suspicion that they may be related to one another. And then he moved on to the next news.

“Uh…?”

Minjun wondered if he had seen it right. Since the news had already moved on, he picked up his phone. When he searched for the words America, museum, and explosion, several articles came up. Among them was a photo that captured the scene he was looking for.

Pinwheel-shaped scorch marks were clearly left on the walls and floor of the museum, centered around the explosion site. No ordinary explosion could have left such a mark.

“This is magic stone poisoning.”

Minjun frowned. He recognized exactly what traces could only be called unusual were.

A sudden physical explosion was the worst side effect seen in hunters who consumed magic stones.

Magic stones, the core of monsters, were the foundation of the hunter industry. It was an essential material for making magic tools, and an energy source that replaced oil, coal, and nuclear energy.

The rumor that one would awaken by eating a magic stone containing great power has been secretly circulating for a long time. However, to ordinary people who were not awakened, magic stones were just like normal stones. At one point, there were news reports of people swallowing gems and showing up in emergency rooms for emergency surgery.

On the contrary, the magic stone consumed by hunters who were already awakened became poison. Tinnitus, nausea, vomiting, and fever were very mild side effects. Vision loss, skin necrosis, hemoptysis, and hair loss occurred. In severe cases, it could be fatal.

It was also a subject that was always asked on the hunter license written exam. No sane hunter would think of swallowing a magic stone.

But the world was full of insane people.

Scammers and cults deceived people by claiming that there was a great elixir made from magic stones. They approached people who wanted to become hunters by telling them that they could awaken, and deceived low-level hunters by telling them that they could reawaken.

Most of the so-called elixirs were ordinary nutritional tonics. Mixing drugs with it to extract money was a common scamming method. However, magic stone poisoning had a different outcome.

In the other world, where the cataclysm began 150 years ago, was ahead of Earth in many things. Among them, there were many dangerous drugs of unknown identity. One of the most dangerous of them was the so-called ‘Whispering Poison.’

Whispering Poison, made by mixing magic stones and several dungeon by-products, surprisingly had the effect of gradually increasing the hunter’s abilities. Desperate hunters were caught up in the lie of a conman who said that consistently taking the Whispering Poison would increase their class. When pseudo-religion was added to the mix, the damage increased enormously. Those who consumed the poison of whispers became addicted to magic stones.

The side effects of magic stone poisoning were similar to those of drugs. A person would lose his wits and go berserk, then wither like a mummy and die. And very few turned into living bombs. To be precise, the magic power in the heart accumulated to its limit and then exploded.

The power of the explosions varied greatly. At times it burned as if spontaneously combusting, and at other times it was so powerful that one of the largest temples in the imperial capital was blown away.

No matter how dangerous the Whispering Poison was known to be, it was never eradicated because it increased stats the more it was consumed. As a result, the Whispering Poison was a significant social issue in the other world.

“Hmm…”

Minjun stared at his phone and pondered for a while. If Whispering Poison was causing the problems on Earth now, there was fortunately a way to cure the poisoning. In the dungeon, he was able to completely heal by eating certain herbs a few times.

When a person took the antidote, the stats raised by Whispering Poison would return to their original state. Therefore, some addicts deliberately did not take the antidote even though they knew it was dangerous. But that was a problem that had to be resolved by higher-ups. The important thing was to disclose the dangers of the Whispering Poison and how to detoxify it.

‘I can’t write on an anonymous site.’

He had to tell people all this without revealing his true identity, so he could write on various anonymous sites, but it would be dismissed as nonsense. Even if it turned out to be true, it would be a headache if it was traced to him since he couldn’t explain how he figured out how to detoxify it.

Anyway, before that, he had to check whether it was indeed the Whispering Poison. It probably almost certainly was as there was no way there was another poison that caused the hunter to explode due to magic poisoning. However, he wondered why the Whispering Poison existed here.

“Whatever.”

Minjun, who had been worrying about this and that, finally sighed and flopped down on his sofa. He was confident in what he could do with his body, but he wasn’t very good at having to use his head like this.

As the guild leader of the June Guild, Soohyuk had many privileges. He had arbitrary work hours, and no one to nag him for coming to work late except the assistant guild leader, Jung Seongwon.

Instead, Soohyuk had many duties and responsibilities. Unlike the hunters of Team 1 who cleared the grassland dungeon and received official vacation for a week as specified in the contract, Soohyuk, who also participated in the dungeon raid, had to go straight back to work without any vacation.

As a guild leader’s prerogative, Soohyuk came in after lunch to catch up on paperwork that had been backlogged during the raid. While the vice guild leader was handling most of the guild’s affairs, there were a few things he had to take care of himself.

Soohyuk, who was reading a cooperation letter from the National Security Agency, looked up as his cell phone on his table continued to flash. There was no phone call. The reason the screen of his cell phone, which was on silent mode, kept flashing was because of text messages.

When he saw Minjun’s name in the pop-up window, he picked up his phone.

The first person to contact him was Hwang Sujin, the guild leader of the Red Flame Guild and an S-class hunter. She was asking him blatantly what skills hunter Kim Minjun had. Next, Seo Wooju was stunned that the grassland dungeon raid time had been shortened to 4 days, and asked if Minjun, the newest member of the June Guild, was the reason.

The last one was Kwak Jonghoon, the Legion Guild leader, the most sly of the S-class hunters, who, like Hwang Sujin, was quick to ask about Minjun’s skills. When Soohyuk didn’t give him an answer, he leaked the information to the group window where the S-class hunters were gathered.

Everyone learned that Team 1 of the June Guild cleared the grassland dungeon in 4 days. When Soohyuk participated in the raid, there was chaos as the 7-day period was cut in half.

Soohyuk clicked his tongue after reading the buzz in the group chat that Kwak Jonghoon ignited.

“How fast.”

He wasn’t surprised because he had already expected it. When a guild cleared a dungeon, it had to make an initial report to the National Security Agency within 24 hours. The grassland dungeon raid ended last night, and the first report was submitted this morning.

It was standard practice for S-class hunters to plant a spy in the National Security Agency. Everyone sent messages in the order in which they heard the information that the grassland dungeon had been cleared in three days through the informants they had inserted.

Among them, the most active person was, of course, Kwak Jonghoon. He was impatient and greedy, and had been trying to increase the guild’s income since last year. Now that he had the opportunity to cut the dungeon raid time in half, he was excited.
