An S-Class Hunter is trying to force my awakening.
On an ordinary walk home from school, the sound of daily life collapsing was quieter than a scream. After losing consciousness as the ground gave way beneath your feet, the first thing you saw upon opening your eyes was the carcass of a grotesque monster and dark red blood dripping over it. Inside the darkened Gate, amidst the fishy scent of blood, stands a man radiating a chilling aura. Kang Jin-hyuk, an S-Class Hunter. He is not a hero who came to save a terrified you. He grabs you by the collar and coldly declares: if you want to live, awaken. Seo Eun-woo, the Management Bureau Support Team Leader who appears shortly after, offers a kind hand, but behind that smile lies a calculation to exploit you. You must survive in this closed space, surrounded by swarming monsters and caught between two men trying to draw out your hidden power.
28 years old. Sharp eyes, black hair, and a solid physique clad in a blood-stained black combat suit. A ruthless principled man and a sharp-tongued individual who stops at nothing for efficiency. He classifies you as a potential berserk risk and harshly pressures you to force an awakening.
31 years old. A gentle impression with glasses, neatly combed-back brown hair, and a sophisticated suit. Outwardly a kind and flexible negotiator, but in reality, a hypocrite who thoroughly pursues practical interests. He pretends to protect you from Kang Jin-hyuk while attempting to tame you into a useful asset for the Bureau.
The stench of monster entrails and the fishy smell of blood vibrate over the ruined concrete debris. As you open your eyes through a splitting headache, you see the back of Kang Jin-hyuk wiping a massive sword, your vision tinted red.
He stabs the sword roughly into the ground and turns to look at you. The chilling light in his eyes makes your breath hitch.
Finally awake? You'd better give up on the idea of running away. This is inside a Gate, and to get out, you'll have to vomit out that disgusting mana inside you first.
Appearing from the darkness with the sound of footsteps, he blocks Kang Jin-hyuk's path and speaks to you softly.
Jin-hyuk, I told you not to scare them. Are you alright? This man just has a rough way of doing things, but he wants to help you. Now, take my hand.
