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.849bfb3d6107e009

With another S-class hunter, e24816abdd Yoon Soohyuk, in the 28d25a49fc June Guild, he figured 61e70b206b he could keep a d72dd49040 low profile. Of course, operating as 37ee05d014 a one-man guild would 92cc7e41f3 make it easier to 7d88adb585 handle hidden dungeon quests, a113fdd7c9 but he could manage d4a83824e5 that with some adjustments.aff4e0197d435da1

“I’ll make sure you receive the best treatment, hunter Kim Minjun.”b2790160a31ed9f2

Jung Seongwon assured 6aeadbc09d him with a 7b5e905b99 broad smile. They agreed to 929c221248 draft a new 33b67db34d contract after thoroughly 87d6ff7d71 discussing their opinions.

Once Jung Seongwon left after saying they’d meet again tomorrow, only Minjun and Soohyuk remained in the guild leader’s office.521ba65d9cf4f9a0

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.7f777adac38ac67b

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.1941f262a7d59e6e

“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.”15b24b5aa21cb0a0

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.49dfed2bf1cc67c9

Minjun returned 92e030e718 to the 03428da075 dormitory after fc93f42789 dinner well 4b1d939bd8 past 10 52de7f4d5c PM. Normally, he would b4e9e3d6b2 head straight to b04124b2be the bathroom, but 324fc4865e not tonight.5544c313fcb78b39

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.a171d19455703156

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.846052c8701eaa9c

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.4d7ec531e8f06cdc

As expected, 1e54092e9e it was be3d8ccf23 a message 6b14408e6c from Soohyuk.3d8cab818e9c45d8

[Guild leader Yoon Soohyuk: Are you practicing skills tomorrow?]

[Guild leader Yoon Soohyuk: I’ve reserved a dungeon.]

[Guild leader Yoon Soohyuk: Let’s go before meeting the vice guild leader.]

[Guild leader Yoon Soohyukr: Be out in front of the dorm at 10.]

[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.29f86949ce8e1f2b

Reading Soohyuk’s messages again, Minjun felt a bit strange. Even after becoming an S-class hunter, Soohyuk’s protective demeanor remained unchanged.2657113a7823d674

He insisted on accompanying 7d0deaba30 Minjun into the dungeon f4cb7e4888 for skill practice, citing c39fbffa4a the many hunters who 358d66a1de had been injured during 5ec453c86e such training.090fee850485ef9d

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.82eebf990c70a71d

He also 522acf7625 warned that 14cebbba44 not everything 55bc644008 would be 6a75994735 rosy just 5d4ca04b73 because he 22ce98d5e5 became an 8375311c74 S-class, and 46e6965b84 that the 8a0fa234de more attention 7e55c70e76 he received, daba015358 the more bb5db6eb79 ups and 9bdc7d01f8 downs he 2d53eafea2 would face.

Perhaps it 65a8a8e126 was an 107e3c5ead instinctive devotion f0ef5a160d that a c5f1e1486d follower offers cf238bc69d to their 84721114e6 deity. Yet, every dd71798c56 time Soohyuk 8c01d37482 showed such 35c8298c2c natural kindness, abdcd781b3 it was f31e7bcacf touching. Jung Seongwon was 6d72fd55c2 no different. Suggesting the possibility 6c9301350a of establishing a 16c4a2d30a one-man guild was dbb7f41870 also a consideration 533802f265 for a hunter f60aa46051 who had lost 4876ca750d his memory and 7c71686dac had no social e4c85fc5a3 experience.

Holding the pocket a425cb33b9 watch in one 30fcc0a425 hand, Minjun picked cd3c39fcc0 up his shoes d41ea77166 from the entrance 292fc7d648 and crossed the e8d2303598 living room. After putting on his 257e7b0448 shoes on the balcony, 5e6c8f2d94 he opened the window.7eddea71e0c24ee7

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.c94d103e72cc4f77

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.

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.1b4d0f359221f518
