Prologue

My name is Han Si-woo.

I am 21 years old this year.

I live in Seoul in 2041, where this job called ‘hunter’ is popular.

I have a girlfriend of the same age who I have been dating since high school.

All Korean citizens are assessed as awakened by the Hunter Association from the time they turn 20 years old.

The grades in descending order are S, A, B, C, D, E, and F.

As long as it’s not E or F, you can make enough money to make a living as a hunter.

Because E and F are ordinary people, it is safe to say that D is actually the lowest grade.

After the screening was over, I received and confirmed the results…

Was it a coincidence?

My girlfriend and I both got D grade.

In fact, Sam’s future is guaranteed.

The job of hunter is as lucrative as it is fraught with danger.

However, since I was young and thought that the profits were good, I did not pay much attention to the risks.

So much so that in that place, they promised to be together for each other’s future forever…

However, after a year, my girlfriend reawakened to S level, a level that is surprising even if only one person appears every 10 years.

Reawakening is a common phenomenon for D and C, low-level awakeners with magical powers, and it is normal for the grade to increase by one or two levels.

However, my girlfriend broke that formula and reawakened from D class to S class.

I heard the news on the news at home.

I immediately called my girlfriend and asked her to meet me, and I also prepared a gift to congratulate her on becoming S-rank.

I showed up 30 minutes earlier than my scheduled time.

I was waiting with excitement, wondering what I should say to her.

With a heart that seems to rise high like the water flowing from the fountain in front of me.

She arrived 10 minutes late for her appointment.

“Sorry for being late.”

“No, I didn’t wait that long. It’s okay, Yena.”

My girlfriend’s name is Lee Yena.

“Yena, congratulations on becoming S-rank…”

“Wait a minute, I’ll speak first. Let’s break up now.”

She suddenly broke up with me.

“What?…What does that mean?”

“I know you’re doing this all of a sudden.”

“Then why on earth!”

“Well… you and I are at different levels now, right?”

“We also promised the future…”

“Just because of that kind of promise, I, an S-level person, have to live with a D-level person?… If I have nothing more to say, I’ll leave. Live well. ”

“How can I live well without you…”

Yena Lee, who was my girlfriend, left like that.

My mood is as if it were rising high like the water flowing from the fountain in front of me.

My heart fluttered.

A stream of water that rises high tends to fall back to the bottom.
