A Monster Hunter Born of Capitalism

“Hunter? It's a good job."

“Isn't that right?"

“But not a middleweight hunter. You know Hunter's death rate, don't you? Hunter's risking his life. They're bitten, torn, stabbed. And watch out for blacklist hunters. One mistake and you're dead. I risked my life to catch monsters, and I only make 500 or 600 a month. Isn't that too much? It's gonna cost you more. ”

“Well, yes. ”

“Hunters only need good hunters like Class S and Class A. I think Hunter's some kind of celebrity. So-so celebrities are buried without a sound that has never been on TV. Celebrities just end there. Not dead. But those hunters die without a whisper. It's better to have a prosperous job than to do a mere hunter like that. ”

‘It would be better for Ari to hide it. ’

I brought it up for a bit, but I don't think I can. If I told him I'd become a hunter, I'd listen to his nagging.

“Then why did you bring up Hunter? Maybe……. ”

“What are you doing? I told you once because I told you I knew someone who'd become a hunter. ”

“Really? Tell him to be careful. They say novice hunters have the highest mortality rates. ”

“I'll make you talk once. ”

“I'm just telling you the truth. Then Yooseong. I'm gonna go to bed now. ”

“Yes, you're 12 already. Sheepdog.”

“Am I a child? I got this. ”

“Queek! I'll take care of myself!”

“Hmph!”

Eun-ah enters her room annoyed.

Peek-a-boo! Fababang!

You hear a loud noise in the living room. It must be a blessing. He walked to the living room. Eun-chan was moving his keyboard and mouse in a dazzling way.

Eunchan stares at the monitor. I didn't know how focused he was, even though he was right next to me. Yooseong turned off the computer with his toes.

Pot!

“Huh? Shit? What?”

Suddenly, when the screen turned off, Lu Xiaoyang was embarrassed. Yooseong lowered his hand on the shoulder and whispered small.

“If you don't want to get hit by your brother, let's turn it off and go to sleep. Eun-sun.”

“Oh, brother! I was in the middle of a competition. I can't turn it off! ”

“It's a competition, it's a struggle, stop playing. And you're gonna wake them all up. What's with all the noise in the game? ”

“What's all the noise? I'm keeping it as low as I can. ”

“I'm not talking to you. ”

“Oh, really...... If I get demoted, I'll tell Ari everything? ”

“Then the day you die will be the day I die. I'm turning off the fire in the living room, so you can go to your room. ”

“Oh, Yooseong. One more game. One more game. I've been giving up on my kids all day and now I'm doing it. ”

“My brother will buy you a laptop for graduation. Wipe your feet and go to sleep. ”

Until just now, Lu Chan, who was frowning, was pleased to run around with the words of Yooseong, who said he would buy a laptop.

“Really? That's my brother. I admire you.I 'm going to go to bed now. ”

“Yes, you don't have to see it, so please shut up and go back to sleep. What?”

As he raised his fist, Ha Eun-chan ran to his room. The living room became quiet as the supper rose. Yooseong lay on the living room couch with the lights out.

I heard Eve's voice waiting for her to lie still and fall asleep.

[Are those the family members of user Han Yooseong?]

“Huh? Eve? When did you get into my phone? ”

[In this world, the drones of the New World seemed to stand out so much that they switched to user Han Yooseong's personal phone. I'm very uncomfortable with your personal call from the Old World. Moving forward, we strongly recommend that you carry a portable device on your wrist.]

“The one on the suit? Was it portable?”

[It's portable.]

“Okay. More than that. What? ”

[The woman named Eun Ari, the man named Mil Chan, and the bride, John, are you the family of Yooseong Han?]

“Yes, they've been like family since childhood. ”

[You're an orphan... ….]

“Unlike that world over there, my parents died when I was a kid. Monsters appear on this side of the world. Monster brakes exploded and made many orphans. I was lucky to come to this nursing home. ”

[You must have had a hard time.]

“There wasn't much of it. The priest was very kind to me. And it wasn't all that bad that Arina and her brothers had the same blessings. I miss my parents sometimes... But what can I do? It's not like the dead are coming back. We just have to live with it. ”

[User Han Yooseong is strong.]

“Strong? Me? The strong ones are like Father Johann. You run a kindergarten in the same world as you do nowadays. How great are they? They're the ones who are really strong. People like firemen, soldiers, paramedics. ”

Yooseong had conversations with Eve on various topics. The conversation between Yooseong and Eve continued until he fell asleep.

* * *

“Brother! Why didn't you come yesterday? ”

“Brother! What's the gift? What's good?”

Yooseong was surrounded by children. They were the children who fell asleep waiting for him yesterday. The children were surrounding the meteor and bombarding the questions.

“Girls, let's eat first. I made you guys some delicious curry yesterday. ”

“Carrillo?”

“Wow! Kareda! ”

“Curry! Curry! ”

Curry was enough to get the children's attention back. The children were all attracted to curry, and Yooseong could barely escape the question bombing.

“Eun-chan. Feed the kids and bring some toys and dolls over there for them. ”

“Okay, brother. ”

Yooseong told Eun-chan that and started wearing shoes.

“Huh? Where are you going?”

“Hunter administration has to go. I have to sign up for a full hunter. ”

“Are you going to come back? ”

“What if I have time? I'm only going to look around at one Class F dungeon. ”

“Yeah? Okay. ”

“Then you go. Talk to Ari nicely. ”

Yooseong has left the preschool.

Yooseong left the preschool and headed straight for the Hunter Administration, as he had told Ha Eun-chan. The Hunter administration was located in Yeouido.

When he arrived at the Hunter Administration, he approached the guide at the Information Desk.

“Yes. What can I do for you? ”

“I'm here to register Hunter. ”

“Hunter registration? You can register for a Hunter by going to the registration location on the second floor. ”

The usher pointed his finger at the stairs, and Yooseong went up to the second floor as the usher said.

In front of the registrar on the second floor, many hunters stood in line to register for the Hunter. The line was quite long, but soon it was his turn.

“Your ID, please. ”

“Here you go. ”

“It's confirmed. What dimension were you summoned to? No money, Estelle? ”

“Er... I mean... ”

Yooseong stuttered on the questions of the management staff.

What am I supposed to say? Do I have to tell you that we've fallen to a parallel world? ’

I was thinking about Yooseong for a while and just decided to give it a rough look around.

“Estelle.”

The employee who heard Yooseong tapped the keyboard. After registering personal information, a simple physical examination and inventory check were followed. It didn't take that long, so it was quick.

“The last thing you need to do is put your hand on this marble, and it's over. ”

“What's that marble? ”

“Internal air, Mana Meter. That bead is a device that quantifies the amount of internal air and Mana that Hunters have. That's what we call the Hunters. ”

“Oh, I see. ”

‘That bead was graded. ’

Yooseong placed his hand on the bead.

Whoo-hoo!

Peeving!

When I put my hand on the bead, I heard a sound from the bead. Then slowly a number appeared on the marble.

[1]

The number that came to the bead was 1.

“Eh……. Wait. Did you touch the settings wrong? There's no way 1's coming out. ”

A staff member of the administration who identified the bead began to feel embarrassed and touch the bead.

“Strange…. There seems to be nothing wrong... ”

If an ordinary person touches the bead, a zero comes out. Even a class F Hunter that exists on paper has Mana, so it must be at least 10 beads, but 1 came out. That's why the management staff were embarrassed.

However, it was natural that the meteor figure 1 would come out. The place where Yooseong fell was in a parallel world, not in Estelle or no ship.

Like all hunters, he has learned many things from institutions that help him systematically in this world, but he has fallen into a world where there is nothing, and has not been properly trained as any other hunter.

“Sorry, the orb seems to have malfunctioned. Maybe we should trade later. ”

“So what do I do? ”

“I'm afraid you'll have to register again next time…… Sorry. ”

“I don't have much time, but is there anything I can do? ”

“In principle, if you don't measure properly, you're enrolled in Class F. You don't like F class either, do you? ”

“It's okay, just do it. ”

“Haha. I knew you'd say that. Let's go again tomorrow... Okay? Did you just ask me to do that? ”

At the words of Yooseong, the employee was again embarrassed. I've worked for years at the Hunter administration, but no one's asked me to register as a F rank.

In fact, it was impossible for a sane person to say that.

The F rank was no different than the prestigious rank. There is no Class F Hunter in the Republic of Korea, or in the whole world. The class F Hunter, which only existed on paper, was Class F.

The World Hunter Association has defined Class F Hunters as follows:

[A general person with a slight mana or internal air.]

This was the definition of a Class F Hunter.

Alchemists and blacksmiths who do not use hunting and combat as their primary business also receive a minimum rating of E.

Management explained to Yooseong about the Class F Hunter. But I didn't care about Yooseong.

“Just do it. You can measure the ratings again, or you can turn the dungeon upside down. ”

“That's right... but... are you sure you're okay? ”

“What?”

“You're class F.”

“There's a Bronze rating in the game, and the F rank isn't that great. Just do it.”

“I can understand your comparison with the game... I'll take care of it.There's nothing I can do for you later. Just know this."

“Yes, I won't. Don't worry. ”

That made him the world's first Class F Hunter.
