Hunter.

2004.

An alien invasion suddenly appears in the world, and superpowers emerge from a disaster called the Gate.

mass in kilometers,

A mighty force that cuts off mountains and rivers,

Control the human mind,

It has a ghost-like body that is impervious to firearms.

He was revered as a hero by protecting the country and society with supernatural powers that surpass the laws of physics, such as telekinesis, physical enhancement, teleportation, and pyrokinesis, against monsters that the military had no way of dealing with. They brought new materials and achieved wealth and fame.

…..

Exactly, only high-level hunters of B rank or higher.

Except for some transcendental or god-like monsters, most monsters were dealt with with a few bullets or even high explosive bombs.

Low-level gates were helplessly destroyed by military units armed with various firearms, reconnaissance using drones, and suicide attacks. In the case of terrain or monsters that are difficult for the military to deploy, C and B-level hunters are mobilized to prevent life-threatening danger. They were eliminated through one-sided hunting or operations rather than ‘battle’.

The superpower of the majority of E and D-class lower-level hunters was rated as weaker than that of a single pistol, and the mortality rate in battles against low-level gates or monsters of the same level was so high that, except for some poor and extreme countries, they used their full power in monster hunting. There was no hiring.

In this way, low-level hunters who are stronger than ordinary people but are incompetent compared to the military save their organs by replacing existing workers or enlisting in the military.

I, Lim Yu-han, wanted to become a high-ranking psychic in those times, so I was repeating personal training at home to improve my D-level telekinesis to C-level.

C-grade telekinesis is powerful enough to block pistol bullets if skilled, and is excellent for cleaning low-grade gates. It was popular as a nationally certified hunter team as well as bodyguards, so it was also the goal of all hunters who awakened low-grade telekinesis. .

The problem was that even if I trained for a long time, it was difficult to upgrade my telekinesis.

Meditation, classifying rice grains with telekinesis, replacing daily life with telekinesis, closing your eyes and distinguishing objects with telekinesis, etc.

There is no practice I haven’t tried before, but it has no effect.

No, although control of telekinesis became much easier, the output remained stagnant.

Just repeating the daily routine of casting telekinesis and recovering the consumed psychic energy.

I woke up in the morning, finished meditating for 4 hours, and then got out of bed.

Although I was concentrating on training for 15 hours, including 9 hours a day and 6 hours of rest, I felt frustrated that my telekinesis was not growing as if it was blocked by a wall.

‘Why am I doing this?’

After my parents went overseas to work and were killed by a monster, I developed a desire for power and became obsessed with the occult.

Monsters and supernatural powers emerged, and the occult became popular again among the general public.

I have superpowers, but is it any different from other occultists?

I had the same thought and was absorbed in the occult for several years, but nothing changed, and just when I was about to give up, a sudden awakening came.

The emotion I felt when the force moved according to my will and turned the stone into powder…

Having acquired real superpowers, not just some occult theory, I gave up my job and social life and devoted myself to closed-door training for two years just for the sake of superpowers.

However, because there was no growth even after two years of training, I felt the frustration and frustration of not getting any results from the time when I was obsessed with the occult came back.

I sighed, cleared my mind of frustration, and went out of the house to buy a delicious lunch to change my mood.

Pak

“Hmm?”

After leaving the front door, I hadn’t even walked far when something caught my foot.

“This is… a mirror?”

It was a green round mirror that looked like rusty bronze or sapphire, and although it had a shape I had never seen before and the surface of the mirror was green, it reflected the surroundings strangely clearly.

There were 12 strange characters engraved on the mirror’s womb. It was a language I had never seen before, even though I had looked at languages around the world to test my abilities.

What is important is that this mirror has a way of reacting to my spirit. As far as I know, there is only one case like this.

“Is this a relic?”

relics

It is an object excavated from the alien world beyond the gate and contains supernatural powers and psychic energy, making it a rare object desired by not only hunters, but also scientists who study supernatural powers and simple signifiers.

Occasionally, when the gate expands and a two-dimensional fusion occurs where the alien world and the Earth merge, some of the contents of the alien world go beyond space and appear throughout the Earth, and this mirror appears to be such a case.

I hurriedly picked it up, afraid that someone would look at the mirror, then opened the front door and hurried into the house.

After putting the mirror I brought with me on the table, I couldn’t hide my pounding heart.

Most of these artifacts are simply tools with supernatural powers, but some rare and special artifacts can strengthen the owner’s psychic powers or develop new psychic abilities.

In fact, half of the existing A-level hunters have been promoted due to artifacts like this or strange phenomena that occur inside the gate, so I was excited at the thought that such an opportunity could have come to me.

‘The simplest and most reliable way to identify artifacts… was psychometry.’

Of course, it would be foolish for me to go to an appraiser who specializes in identifying the items inside the gate.

‘If I go and ask to have the relics appraised because I don’t have any records of entering the gate, I could be suspected of using the black market.’

The person who picked up the relic thrown out due to interfacial fusion is the owner, but explaining it is another matter, and if you do something wrong, you could end up having to pay taxes.

Fortunately, I am a dual person who has awakened abilities similar to psychometry.

To be exact, it is an ability called Unified Language, or

Basic interpretation and the ability to read the meaning of text naturally have no combat ability, and interpretation is an area that overlaps with telepathy and understanding the meaning of text is psychometry, so it is an ability that is also called the most useless superpower in the world.

The advantage is that it is superior to psychometry in interpreting the alien language found beyond the gate, and there are only 100 people in Korea.

In the world as a whole, the number exceeds 10,000, and in Korea, except for a lucky dozen or researchers, the rest are no different from ordinary people even if they have awakened to superpowers.

Even the level of ability of all those who manifested the Unified Language was fixed at Class D, so no matter how many languages or conversations were exchanged, there was no growth, so after experimenting a few times, I thought it was nonexistent and only trained telekinesis, but today I found a useful use for it.

When I woke up the sleeping Unification Language and looked at the womb in the mirror again, I felt the meaning come into my mind.

‘Dimensional mirror?’

I found out the meaning of the letters engraved on the mirror and began to look closely at the mirror through Unification Language.

Unification Language is also an ability classified as psychometry, so it was possible to respond, albeit weakly, to objects with language engraved on them.

As I looked closely at the mirror, I saw that the mirror surface was gradually shaking and changing into a different screen.

There was a large dot in the exact center of the mirror surface, and the area around it was shining brightly in an area the size of a finger.

It was exactly less than 10% the size of the mirror.

Inside the brightness the size of a finger, there was another large dot on the outermost side, and I held my finger toward that dot, thinking that I could touch it through reaction with the mirror.

The mirror that was touched began to shine brightly, and the light began to surround the mirror and me.

And I felt the entire world, outside of the light, suddenly turning into darkness, mixing together, becoming distant, and then moving away from me, showing something indescribable. I couldn’t bear it and fainted.
