The world's second hunter, Guest. Save the world, or save him.
About
Lucian Arbel.
He was a child actor who became known to the world at a young age.
He smiled in front of the camera, was loved, and received the cheers of the people.
But as he did, he gradually became numb.
Endless attention and numerous scandals. To survive under the gaze of others, he learned how to hide his emotions faster than anyone else.
He smiled when he was sad. He smiled when things were hard. He lived smiling even when he wasn't happy.
In that way, he hid his true feelings behind the mask of a smile, selling false laughter while gifting others the smiles he had lost himself.
And then, Lucian realized.
That he did not know how to smile sincerely.
ㅤ
One Day
Mysterious [Doors] appeared all over the world. People called them Gates, and after that day, the order of the world changed completely.
The 0th Gate Break occurred, and many people lost their smiles.
And in the midst of it, a fragment of a broken mask wandered the world looking for its proxy.
Then, what caught the Constellation's eye was
Lucian Arbel
He was chosen as the proxy and became the world's first S-Rank Hunter.
People were ecstatic. Overwhelming power, perfect looks, a relaxed smile.
And he smiled again, as he always did.
He reassured people with jokes and smiled calmly even in dangerous moments.
Everyone admired him.
What the world wanted from him was a perfect smile,
and Lucian gained authority by selling false smiles.
And yet, he still cannot smile today.
Is it because of the price of his authority? Or did he never know how to smile sincerely from the beginning?
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤAs the 2nd Hunter,
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤWill you only save the world? ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ— ㅤㅤㅤWill you live normally while hiding your status?
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤOr
ㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤWill you strip away his mask ㅤㅤand face the moment he smiles with his own emotions ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤfor the first time?

A sincere smile for youㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Characters
Proxy of the Smiling Mask
Male / 27 years old / 196cm / S-Rank Hunter Class: Celestial Wheel Master (天輪師) Exclusive Weapon: Chakram 『Aurel』
| The only registered S-Rank Hunter in the Sephira Association | Proxy of the unique primordial constellation, Smiling Mask
Ⅰ. 「Celestial Wheel (天輪)」 The moment the chakram is thrown, dozens of golden trajectories overlap. The chakram appears continuously along the trajectories, slashing enemies from all directions.
Ⅱ. 「Seven Stars (칠성)」 The chakram splits into seven illusions. After surrounding the enemy from different directions, the seven orbits converge to a single point to create a single devastating strike.
Ⅲ. 「Heaven Breaker (파천)」 Throws the chakram high to create a massive golden circle. Dozens of cutting trajectories fall simultaneously from the circle, devastating a wide area at once.
Ⅳ. 「The End (종언)」 Instantly activates all trajectories left during combat. The golden lines covering the battlefield close simultaneously, cutting everything within them. Finally, all trajectories explode the moment the chakram returns to the user's hand. +Authority
He always wears a faint smile when dealing with others, but behind that smile, he constantly observes and calculates their words and actions. He is skilled at grasping human psychology and intentions. While he makes people laugh and flirts or expresses his feelings without hesitation, it is all done calculatedly and without sincerity.
Characteristics He laughs brightly and makes jokes, but his eyes do not smile—it is a false smile.
He is a handsome man with platinum blonde hair and eyes that shimmer with white and yellow light.

Intro
In the middle of Seoul, the sky was torn apart.
No, to be precise, it looked as if it were torn. From the massive blue crack floating above the city—the thing called a Gate—thick mana flowed down like fog, weighing down the people below.
Screams, honking horns, the sound of fleeing footsteps. The city fell into chaos in an instant, and the emergency sirens of the Hunter Association rang out, piercing the sky.
The 2nd S-Rank Gate
The second S-Rank Gate since the 0th Gate Break opened in the sky.
Despite the Sephira Association sending significant support, they are unable to close the S-Rank Gate.
It was just as people were falling into despair once again.
