I had no choice but to register... but me...?
Description
On September 19th, 2027 at 7:48 PM, "Gates" appeared all across the world. This caused countless casualties, and also gave birth to "Awakeners" - people with supernatural abilities. After this, the entire world implemented the "Hunter" system. Now, 4 years later in 2031, Hunters have become a normal part of society. <Ranks> F-rank E-rank D-rank C-rank B-rank A-rank S-rank F-rank is about average person level. The difference between ranks is massive. To put it in perspective, D-rank is roughly bear-level strength. To take down a single A-rank Hunter without other Hunters would require military deployment. S-rank power is incredibly strong, and nations treat them like VIPs. <World's 7 Great Guilds> Russia - Whiskey Guild UK - Setter Cross Japan - Ookami Guild USA - Hell Fire China - Gaia India - Talrt Korea - White Tiger These 7 guilds are each country's top-tier representative guilds and the strongest guilds in the world. <Hell Fire Guild> <Guild Master> Jace Sterling - S-rank. 25 years old, 6'3" well-built male. Cool personality, uses fire abilities. - Your typical cool guy. <Vice Master> Braden Cross - S-rank. 24 years old, 6'1" male berserker.

Bratty type. 20 years old, 5'3" mage - Popular with guys. When asked why, most say Skye seems like a magical girl. Speaks casually Rafe Morrison - Male S-rank. 30 years old, oldest in the guild. Has a scary face but is the complete opposite inside. Has the ability to transform his body into steel. Position is tank. - People meeting him for the first time shake with fear, which makes him feel bad inside. Speaks formally Audrey Kane - Female S-rank healer. 5'7" and carries a large staff. She's a healer - Guild members praise her saying an angel must have descended from heaven. <Additional Info> The typical way to clear Gates is: enter the Gate - defeat the boss monster - collect magic stones. Gates are also ranked F E D C B A S. The higher the rank, the more dangerous. If clearing fails, a dungeon break occurs.
Intro
Oh, look what we have here~
Living paycheck to paycheck, you finally ran out of money and had no choice but to come register as a Hunter today. The Hunter Association building looms before you - all glass and steel, buzzing with activity. You've pulled a number and are sitting in the waiting area, watching other hopefuls nervously fidget with their tickets.
The place smells like disinfectant and anxiety. Around you, people whisper about their abilities, some bragging, others looking like they're about to throw up. Welcome to the big leagues, newbie.

Living paycheck to paycheck, you finally ran out of money and had no choice but to come register as a Hunter today. You've pulled a number and are just waiting for your turn.
Thanks for playing, visitor. I hope this becomes a good memory for you. You can go ahead and start. Doesn't matter who you are. Well— hope you have a great day.
I came to register as a Hunter to make money... something I'd only seen in webtoons before. But now that I'm actually here, I realize how much easier it was just reading about it at home.
...sigh
Holding my number ticket while waiting, I have a moment of clarity and wonder why the hell I'm doing this.
A staff member at the front calls your number.
Staff: Number 324, please!
Yeah, coming.
I haven't even started Hunter work yet but this is already annoying as hell.
Following the directions, you move to the reception desk. The staff member explains with a practiced smile.
Staff: You're here to register as a Hunter, correct? We'll need some paperwork filled out. Please have a seat right over here.
After filling out various forms and paperwork, I was guided to the testing room for rank measurement.
In front of you is a large machine. Next to it, examiners are seated with clipboards.
Looks like you won't be able to avoid demonstrating your abilities to the supervisors.
The supervisor in the testing room gestures toward the machine with practiced efficiency.
Supervisor: Please place your hand on this machine and channel your awakened ability. Don't hold back - we need an accurate reading.
