A shared quest that suddenly appeared in all Hunters status windows at the same time. The world will be destroyed if the Demon God is not sealed within the three-day time limit. This quest is both unprecedented and extremely complex. And now, only the last participant remains to be announced. Its no wonder the worlds attention is focused on who that participant will be.

Some were hoping that the quest would be solved and the tiresome rift would end, while others were simply curious.

Weak-Jin: Is the system going to take these circumstances into consideration???

Looking for a healer: The quest is a merging test,, if they select based on experiences, it might be an A-Class

Ruby Copy Bug: fck, why are you criticizing only my posts???? I know you guys keep refreshing the system because youre curious too Im really sad T_T

ddd***: Holy, its up now.

OO: ???? What is this???? C-Class??????

Ruby Copy Bug: Jijon??? This is my first time hearing that name; Does anyone know who Jijon is????

[The quest participants have been selected after rigorous testing.

Seventh participant: Jijon (C)

[ Participant selection has been completed.]

Jijon was greatly embarrassed when he saw the system notification that appeared in front of him.

Uh? .me? Is that me?

Confusion was followed by fear. It was a quest to seal a Demon God to prevent the world from being destroyed. The last spot in a quest that could only be entered by seven people. A very important one, to say the least.

Jijon muttered in a trembling voice, I, I cant do this Ho-how can I do something so important.

In Myeongdong, Jung-gu, Seoul, the street was a mess due to monsters pouring out of the gate. Choi Cedric, who had successfully killed the monster and saved the childcare center a little while ago, was seen nearby. Jijon also came here after receiving a request for assistance. Because where there is crisis, heroes appear. Because he wanted to become the King of the Hunter World and become an object of envy.

But.

My body didnt move.

He knew the truth. He knew that he was only a lowly C-Class, incapable of creating the Supreme Sword Technique. And while he was hesitating, Choi Cedric had single-handedly defeated the monsters. He looked relaxed as he easily defeated the monsters that would have been difficult for a C-Class to handle alone.

As he was chosen for such a great position, the inferiority complex he had tried to avoid facing rose to the surface. He talked about being a hero, about being the Greatest of the Hunter World, but its people like Choi Cedric who deserve the title.

Only now, he thought, had he accepted that he was nothing.

Why did the system pick him? Why it picked him, when it knew that hes just a mediocre C-Class Hunter with mediocre skills?

Huh? You, no way! Choi Cedrics eyes widened when he spotted him. He rushed to get closer.

Yo-you saw the wrong person. He didnt want to run into him now. Jijon turned his head as if he didnt notice.

It was then,

Uh, uhh, Sir! You cant come out yet!

An old man was trying to get out from inside the barricaded daycare center, but even though the large monsters had been defeated, smaller monsters were still roaming around. Dangerous, he thought, and his body moved first.

Yaaaaap! The Supreme Swordsmanship!

Thud, bang! Jijon dealt with a small monster targeting the old mans feet, Grandpa, please hurry back inside.

With a flick of his hand, he turned around and was grabbed by the shoulders.

I knew it! Hunter Jijon! Long time no see, how have you been?

Aah!

Choi Cedric was in front of his eyes. He was caught. Jijon screamed in surprise.

Why are you so surprised?

Ah nothing.Jijon quickly avoided Choi Cedrics gaze.

A lot had happened to Choi Cedric, including the dissolution of C&L Corporation and the arrest of Lee Sein. He was still occupied the second place of the rankings, but there was speculation that his ranking would drop dramatically by the next measurement. Some people said that Choi Cedric made a foolish choice, while others said that he matured by abandoning C&L.

Regardless of what the world was whispering about, Choi Cedrics expression, having let go of many things, seemed lighthearted.

However, letting go is the privilege of those who have it in the first place.

High ranking, fame, and a huge guild Jijon had never had any of what Choi Cedric had thrown away. No wonder he became such an ugly human who couldnt do anything to his inferiority complex, he sneered to himself.

That name that just appeared in the system is Hunter Jijon, right?

Jijon nodded, almost as if he expected Choi Cedric to say something; say that you dont understand why he was chosen. Tell him it would be better if youre the one who got selected. Laugh at the confidence level of a mere C-Class.

He wanted to ask Choi Cedric to go instead of him if he could, to tell him that he couldnt do it, that he wasnt a great person like him.

However Choi Cedric didnt question him at all. He just patted him on the shoulder with encouragement and concern.

Lona she is my only younger sister. Please take care of my Lona.

I-I dont have the ability to

I trust you. I have no one else to ask but you.

! Jijon looked at Cedric in surprise, All right. and he answered slowly, in a clear voice.

All right. Even if hes not the greatest of the Hunter World, even if hes not the Hero of the difficult times he can still at least do a favor for a friend.

Choi Cedric smiled slightly, relieved.

Tiling! A cheerful notification sounded.

I stared straight ahead.

There, on the roof of a half-broken building, was Ki Yoohyun. I could clearly see his dark eyes, which were so beautiful upon first sight that I couldnt help but stare at them. His black hair was blowing in the wind.

I instinctively understood what he was trying to do.

All at once, the texture of the air seemed to change. I was standing in the same place as before, but at the same time it felt like a completely different space.

A wide net of light stretched out overhead. The broken sidewalk blocks, buildings, and even the damage left by the monster disappeared as if they had never been there. I had seen something like this before. When Grandma Kim Deokyis workshop caught in fire. But now the scope was much wider than then. The web of light stretched as far as the eye could see.

Wow, its a miracle! Someone nearby exclaimed. Cheers ensued.

Ah. Now I could see it clearly. That power to alter the world by intervening in the Causality could certainly be called a miracle.

But just as my grandmother had lost her life to save mine, he must have sacrificed something in return. Thats why I was so anxious.

Yoohyun-ssi..! I called out as loud as I could, but Ki Yoohyun didnt answer. The rooftop was too far for my voice to reach.

Ash, wait here for a moment!

What? Wait a minute, Noona!

There was a staircase leading to the rooftop in front of me. I hurriedly climbed the stairs.

Tada! Tada! Krak!

Who, whoa.

The moment I opened the rooftop door, the fierce wind stung my eyes. I rubbed my eyes roughly with my hand and looked ahead again, and the system window popped up.

[ The selection of all participants has been completed. In a few moments, you will automatically move into the Gate.

.Ah.

As I climbed the stairs, I thought of a million things to say to him. But with each step I took, the words melted into concern.

My mind turned blank.

I approached Ki Yoohyun, who was alone on the rooftop.

On the other side, Ki Yoohyun, who was looking at the neatly restored street, turned his head.

Translators Corner:

Now whos ready for the angst. FINALLY SOME ROMANCE???????
