Just before leaving the guild hideout.

He stood in front of the full-length mirror in one corner of the guild leader’s room and looked at his completely different appearance.

Silver-grey armor replaced the suits he wore every day to work.

The image of a successful entrepreneur that I felt when I was wearing a suit suddenly disappeared.

The only thing left in front of the mirror is a hero who has overcome numerous crises of death.

He was thrilled by the majesty and charisma that could not be captured in photos or videos.

“This is me… !”

Everything you see in the mirror is yours.

This armor was made by 10 craftsmen whose names everyone would know.

A sword obtained from the S-class dungeon ‘Aryong’s Nest’, which is considered one of the worst dungeons in Korean history.

Artifacts are also equipped with various stat increases and useful functions.

And all of this, including the majestic body of a warrior.

“Heh, heh… .”

It feels real again.

That he became S-class hunter Son Si-woo.

I was devastated when I found out that Han Joo-hee and Han Joo-hee, who looked like a lovebird couple on the outside, were a show window couple and that their bodies were gradually failing due to damage to their magic circuits, but that is no longer the case.

Haven’t I found a way to heal my body and a reliable helper to help me do it?

There are still a lot of questionable parts, but it doesn’t matter.

If I could recover my broken body and hold Han Joo-hee in my arms, would pseudo-religion be a big deal?

Around the time I was standing in front of the mirror, completely absorbed in self-love.

Knock knock!

“Guild leader, it’s time to leave.”

The voice of a female secretary heard from outside.

Accordingly, Son Si-woo hid the excitement clearly evident on his face and walked out of the guild leader’s room with a graceful step.

“egg plant.”

Eventually, he took the elevator and arrived at the lobby.

click!

Click click!

Dozens of reporters continuously press the shutters of cameras reminiscent of cannons.

“Aaaah! “It’s Hunter Son Si-woo!”

“Oh, what should I do… ! “It’s so cool!”

Siwoo Son! Siwoo Son! Siwoo Son!

The area around the building is filled with enthusiastic fans who keep calling out my name.

I paused for a moment as I was met with a warm gaze that I had never felt before.

He crossed the lobby at a leisurely pace and left the building, waving to reporters and fans.

A short question and answer period follows.

“Hunter Son Si-woo! How do you feel about returning after a year and a half of sabbatical?”

“Haha, it’s been a while since I played a real game, so I’m a little nervous.”

“I heard it was time to heal an injury that I’ve been keeping secret for the past year and a half. Is that correct?”

“Not at all.”

“The party members who are going on the attack together this time are all faces we haven’t seen before. Did you pick them yourself?”

“Yes, I personally selected it through thorough testing.”

As each question continues, the level begins to rise little by little.

It was around this time that questions that were difficult to answer began to pop out of the reporter’s mouth.

Employees who were observing the situation from behind blocked his path.

“Sorry, reporters! Let’s move now!”

Reporters walking backwards with regretful expressions.

They said they were trying their best to get even one more piece of information, but they couldn’t do that right now.

The opponent is Son Siwoo, a national hunter.

In fact, it was possible because he answered several questions.

If you had blocked the path of another S-class hunter and asked this question, you would have heard a yell instead of an answer.

Knowing that, they obediently took a step back.

“brother! “I love you!”

“Please just look here!”

“Please just shake my hand!”

Son Si-woo responds with a smile to the fans who persistently follow him and then gets into the car.

He let out a light breath and stuck out his tongue.

“and… , this wasn’t an easy task either.”

I thought the attention celebrities get was a good thing, but it wasn’t.

I don’t know how far I should go in answering the barrage of questions, and there are so many requests from fans.

In the meantime, your image can be tarnished with just one unpleasant word or facial expression, so it takes a lot of mental energy to be careful again and again.

I have a lot of respect for the real Son Si-woo, who has lived under this kind of attention for decades.

But that was all.

It was burdensome, tiring, and a little annoying, but it was still good.

For the first time in my life, the attention directed at me felt pleasant, even the annoyances that followed.

But even for a moment.

“Im here.”

After getting out of the car and facing the crack, he swallowed dry saliva with a very nervous expression.

The dungeon we will be conquering today is ‘Giant’s Forest’.

A forest where everything in the dungeon is tailored to a giant who is a whopping 7 to 8 meters tall.

This dungeon is too strong to be A-class, but a little short of S-class, so it is actually classified as A+ class.

There is only one reason why this body is loved by the entire nation.

Because he is a guardian.

To protect the Republic of Korea by conquering extremely evil dungeons that others cannot even dare to enter.

In other words, the moment you can’t fulfill that role, it’s all over.

‘I don’t like that.’

From the moment he joined hands with the Invidia Church, he made his decision.

I will live my life enjoying everything in the world.

Wealth, fame, power, all.

‘I will never lose to that guy.’

Kim Do-jin.

I will never experience the humiliation of being pushed away by the body I abandoned.

To do that, we have to let everyone know.

That he and Son Si-woo are alive and well.

That it is still you, and no one else, who protects this Republic of Korea.

He reached the crack with heavy steps and chanted to the four paladins who had arrived earlier.

“I guess all preparations for the attack have been completed.”

“of course.”

“Hoho, of course.”

“Don’t worry, brother!”

“… … .”

After seeing the four paladins show off their confidence in their own way, I feel a little relieved.

He gives orders to his limbs who will protect him until he can become a complete person.

“Let’s go.”

Four people reach into the crack as if they had been waiting and enter the dungeon.

Finally, being left alone, he sighed softly and stretched out his hand without hesitation.

* * *

Internet articles were all over one person’s name.

【National Hunter Son Si-woo’s return begins!】

【Son Si-woo, who is going to conquer the dungeon for the first time in a year and a half, “I’m nervous because it’s been a while.”】

【Complete conquering the semi-S-class dungeon ‘Giant’s Forest’! The famous Son Si-woo.】

【Son Si-woo sets out to conquer the dungeon with a new party member. The beginning of a generational change within the guild?】

【As soon as he returns, the villain crime rate plummets by 30%! Is this the ‘Son Si-woo effect’?】

As if they had been waiting for it, all newspapers are writing articles about Son Si-woo.

When I clicked on one of the articles, I came out after clearing the dungeon and was waving at the reporters… No, it’s Son Si-woo.

“You’re shaking like crazy.”

Just looking at that makes me laugh.

“They say the talent is in the hands of the bear and the money is in the hands of the rich.”

I think this photo is a clear example of that proverb.

The guy who was probably busy hiding behind the four people in the photo while they were raiding the dungeon made a fuss.

The two faces that appear together in the photo centered on Son Si-woo catch my attention.

A skinny man and a strangely attractive beauty who coexist with elegance and bewitchment.

“Just look at it, it’s this guy.”

That skinny guy with dark circles under his sunken eyes and down to his chin is him.

The guy who threw a knife at the back of my head.

And that woman must be the Paladin who was obsessed with Son Si-woo.

“oh… “It’s pretty good.”

She is a beauty of a level rarely seen around us.

“Child, you are blessed.”

He did a good deed by giving his body to a middle-aged man living a difficult life, and he seems to have finally received a blessing.

Thanks to you, I am living a happy life, so I guess he should enjoy it a little too.

by the way.

“How far will that smoke go?”

There are no perfect secrets in this world.

Especially if you are a famous person like Son Si-woo who receives everyone’s attention.

The skit created by the four paladins and the fake Son Si-woo is nothing more than a temporary solution.

That’s why I’m curious.

“What on earth do you want?”

What is the ultimate goal of those who buy time by acting like that?

What is certain is that both sides joined hands because they had something to gain from each other.

And what is more certain.

“Seup… “Things aren’t going very well.”

My situation right now is not all that optimistic.

If my hypothesis is correct, there is a high probability that the main figures in the religion that worship the suspicious goddess Invidia are also ‘people with qualities’.

And the same goes for the boss of ‘Zodiac’ who I bumped into once.

“How is it that all of the enemies are so large?”

The enemies you may face in the future have all established their own forces.

On the other hand, all I was given was one body and four chick team members.

“Oh, one more thing was added.”

I forgot.

One more person was added a few days ago.

As of now, Sia Jeong is the most trustworthy and has the potential to excel immediately.

Hearing the name of the guild called Ansimhoe, he gritted his teeth and looked straight. He accepted the offer on the condition that he create a guild with a name he liked.

“… “Is tenderloin sashimi that bad?”

It’s intuitive, it’s cool.

I think it’s really good.

“… “Should I ask someone else?”

Strictly speaking, right now, the opinions of both me and Jeong Sia are divided and the situation is 1:1.

If you ask someone else, you’ll know for sure.

I close the article with a picture of Son Si-woo on the door and make a phone call.

A call that connects as soon as it starts beeping.

what.

Why is it so fast?

-Wow… , What day is today? Dojin contacts his sister first?

I thought for a moment about what Juyeon, the other person, was saying through the phone.

Is this pure joy, or is he being sarcastic about me not being in touch much?

Of course, the answer is fixed.

“Hmm… , I will call you often from now on.”

-really? Do you have to keep that promise? If you don’t keep it… , do you get punished?

I’m just reciting the answer.

-Anyway, what’s going on? I don’t think I contacted you simply because I wanted to hear your sister’s voice.

A quick-witted guy.

Let’s go straight to the main topic.

“that… “I have something to ask my sister.”

-What?

What I need most now is people.

A capable and trustworthy person who can stand together with enemies who will stand in my way.

It is for that reason.

The reason I called Juyeon was.

“that… “If I create a guild, do you want to join?”

Jooyeon is the most capable and trustworthy person I know.

If we have to join forces to deal with those who have established their influence before us… , a talent among talents that must be recruited as the first priority.

I felt like I would hit the ground and regret it if I missed a word properly, so I risked embarrassment and asked a question, but a strange answer came back.

-My sister’s ransom is very expensive… ?

okay.

That’s why I’m embarrassed to even talk about it.

Jooyeon is currently one of the most expensive hunters in the world.

If you contact a large guild in China or the United States, which has a lot of money, wouldn’t the down payment alone easily exceed 100 billion won?

Asking a guy like that, ‘Do you want to come in?’ without any specific conditions.

Is there a mouse hole somewhere?

Slap my head and die.

“hmm… , Just forget what I said just now.”

-huh? suddenly?

So I decided to just do something that never happened.

I think this went too far.

It would be better to ask later, after the guild has grown a little.

… Of course, this is while Juyeon remains a free agent until then.

-what… , Are you running away because Do-jin said that your sister’s ransom is expensive?

“No, well… “It’s true that my sister’s price is high.”

-That’s right, but… , Dojin, if you were you, you could probably handle it.

“… … ?”

What is he talking about now?

I don’t know if it’s later, but how can I afford your ransom now?

While I was wondering, the guy continued speaking through the phone.

-Instead of the down payment, Do-jin can give it to you.

“No, but that’s a bit…” .”

I guess I’ll have to give him a harsh scolding.

You’re trying to tempt me with nothing more than an excuse to join a guild!

-If that happens, my sister is ready to sign a life contract… ♥

… It was too great a temptation to scold.
