Another Guild.

It is a medium-sized guild with approximately 48 hunters and 7 guild employees.

However, Shin Ji-yeon, the guild master, is B rank, and most of the affiliated hunters are C rank and lower level hunters.

Because the scope of activity is not that wide.

It was a quiet guild that was only medium-sized and rarely mentioned in the media.

But now, the name was about to spread across the country and around the world.

“…Are you really okay? I’m fine though.”

“This is the quickest way to make up for the 500 million won I gave to my senior. No, you think there will be more than that? Even seniors need to earn a lot of money to move to a big house to live with their familiars.”

“Well, that’s true, but…”

Park Ji-hoon spoke as if he was worried, but Shin Ji-yeon seemed unconcerned.

What they are talking about is ‘advertising revenue’.

Officially announcing that ‘Trainer’ Park Ji-hoon has joined Another Guild.

Thanks to its popularity, it receives various sponsorships and advertisements from the guild.

A guild is a gathering of hunters who have become the center of the world.

People always follow their moves.

Of course, this is especially true if the guild is a large guild and has popular hunters.

So to speak, it is a walking signboard.

There was no way companies could have missed something like that.

Guilds and Hunters are like popular dramas or celebrities.

It has become the best advertising sign.

As a result, corporate advertisements always followed hunters and guilds that were popular.

He earned hundreds of millions, or even billions, from advertising fees alone from numerous companies.

That’s exactly what Jiyeon Shin is aiming for.

The idea was to use the currently most popular hunter called ‘Trainer’ as an advertisement and suck up advertising costs.

“…The money is nice, but wouldn’t another guild or Jiyeon be targeting you from a large guild?”

Is there anyone in the world who hates money?

Shin Ji-yeon and Park Ji-hoon also have slightly different life dreams and goals than other people, but they like money.

If there is an opportunity to make a lot of money, of course you take advantage of it.

What Park Ji-hoon is worried about, rather than money or anything like that, is that he might have joined an unknown mid-sized guild.

The reason was that large guilds might not harm Another Guild or guild master Shin Ji-yeon.

“Ah, senior. I watched too many dramas. In today’s world, if you do that and get caught, you’ll go straight to hell.”

However, Shin Ji-yeon tapped Park Ji-hoon on the shoulder as if to tell him not to worry.

“And even if other guilds try to recruit you as a senior… I’m the only one who can completely fulfill the seniority conditions, right?”

She speaks with a sinister smile, as if she is someone plotting an evil plan.

Of course, to Park Ji-hoon, such behavior was just cute.

“Really, I think you’re threatening me? Can’t I go somewhere else?”

“Uh, it sounds like a threat. You know very well.”

The two people were joking and laughing like that.

Soon, he looked serious again and shifted his gaze to the computer screen.

“Well, then upload it?”

“Okay… Let’s see what kind of fuss there is.”

“Jo, it was great!”

On the computer screen they were looking at, the ‘Writing’ window of the largest hunter community in the country was floating.

And the content of the post is…

[ Another Guild welcomed ‘trainer’ Park Ji-hoon as a new member of the family. ]

[Author: Shin Ji-yeon]

[ We would like to announce that Hunter Park Ji-hoon, aka ‘trainer’ with ministry skills that is currently becoming a hot topic, has joined our Another Guild. ]

A short and simple article was posted on the hunter community.

Shin Ji-yeon of Another Guild.

Although she is a pretty-looking hunter, she does have a small number of fans.

He was not that famous among hunters.

However, the content of her post caught the attention of the world.

“What? Trainer?”

“Did you join the guild?”

“No, but… Where is Another Guild?”

Hunters who watched the community also went crazy.

“Hey, the trainer’s name appeared!”

“Park Ji-hoon, he’s an F-rank hunter?”

“En? F rank?”

“Hey! How about F rank? The world’s only tamer mountain!”

Citizens who saw the leaked article also went into an uproar.

“What! Why did this guy join the guild?!”

“No, we chewed up all the text and phone calls…”

“Where is Another Guild?! Find out now!”

“Fuck this, wasn’t this something the Dragon King Guild worked on? Isn’t Another a subcontractor of the Dragon King?”

The guilds that were preparing behind the scenes to recruit Park Ji-hoon were also in an uproar.

“…Wow, I couldn’t believe it.”

And Lee Jeong-hyeon, Bugilma of the Dragon King Guild, who had strange expectations about Park Ji-hoon, was also in an uproar…

“You’re having so much fun?”

…No, he was laughing as if it was fun.

“It’s not going as I expected? He’s a fun kid.”

Obviously, he also thinks about the value of his name.

I was sure I would never join this guild.

Somebody, as expected, had entered the guild.

Plus, there’s another guild.

Isn’t it really an ordinary guild with no special reason to be felt?

“…Another Guild. I need to find out.”

Although he said it as if he was serious, Lee Jeong-hyun’s face was still smiling.

Hunter Park Ji-hoon, also known as the ‘trainer’.

His story is not limited to Korea, but extends beyond Asia and around the world.

His story of being the first person in the world to control monsters naturally became a hot topic abroad.

In particular, it became a hot topic in the United States, where the ‘AM Project’, a large-scale project to create monster troops by training monsters, was implemented.

“…Jihoon Park from Korea. I guess I should meet you sometime.”

A sturdy, blond-haired white man in his mid-30s said this while looking at an Internet post translated into English.

The man who was in charge of the AM project and an S-rank hunter from the United States.

His name is Michael Gordon.

Although the project has already been deemed impossible and has been scrapped.

He said it was absolutely not impossible, although he had petitioned the government to allow the project to continue.

All were dismissed.

But Park Ji-hoon.

If only there were hunters from a small country called Korea, the AM project might be operational again.

“The world where humans fight and sacrifice humans must end. There will come a time when monsters will fight in their place. Definitely.”

He said that and booked a plane ticket to Korea.

While Michael Gordon was looking for a flight to Korea in the United States, another person was interested in Korea.

It was in China.

“Hmm~ There is no way such a great hunter can come from a small country like Korea.”

Even though he is a man, he has long, braided black hair.

His hands are full of sharp, unknown decorations.

The slitted eyes and protruding mouth made it look like a rat.

To put it in a good way, the thin and agile body looked agile, but in a bad way, it had a mean-spirited appearance.

He is the guild master of China’s number one guild, ‘Black Society’.

The protagonist was Rong Xiao, an S-rank hunter who is currently considered the best hunter in China.

“Hmm! The world’s first, the world’s only, the world’s best. It is only allowed in our People’s Republic of China! It cannot be tolerated by a small country like Korea.”

Like a guildmaster from a black society with extreme neutralization ideology.

He came up with an extreme idea.

“Tell this to the hunter who dares to call himself the only one in the world. Either become the Chinese people. Or die. Choose.”

“Yes, boss!”

After giving this order to his subordinates, Long Xiao lay down on a silk bed covered in gorgeous golden embroidery.

Immediately after the article was posted.

Another Guild’s phone rang nonstop.

“Ah, yes. This is Another Guild… Huh? Ah, you are inquiring about advertising!”

“No, we are not a subcontractor from another guild…”

“Um, teacher over there? Calm down first… If you scream one more time, I will hang up.”

It just couldn’t be handled with 7 employees.

As soon as the phone was hung up, the next call came, and before the call hung up, the number of missed calls piled up.

Wooung─ Wooung─

“Oh, there’s another call.”

Of course, the cell phone of Shin Ji-yeon, who can be said to be the representative of Another Guild, rang without stopping.

Most of them were advertising offers, spying calls from other guilds, or calls from ordinary citizens asking to meet the trainer in person.

For your information, Park Ji-hoon’s cell phone rang without stopping.

“Well, what are you getting angry about because they kicked your suggestion away?”

In all, it was a call from the guild that had previously sent him an offer via text or chat.

“It’s obvious anyway. They will treat you better. Tell me the necessary conditions. Why did you join such a small guild? Huh. I feel dizzy even without listening.”

The words I should have received seemed obvious, so I just didn’t accept them.

“Wow… Senior, how many advertisements have we received in the past hour?”

Shin Ji-yeon approaches Park Ji-hoon with an excited expression and asks.

“How many?”

When Park Ji-hoon, who was also very excited, asked again, Shin Ji-yeon stretched out three fingers.

“There are just 30, 30! Well, drinks, ready-to-eat food, clothing, electronics, and even cars… everything came in.”

When a company entrusts an advertisement to you, just like the PPL you see on TV, hunters instead of celebrities use the products and tell them that they are good, convenient, delicious, etc.

Advertising fees range from a few hundred thousand won to a few tens of millions of won.

As there is a huge advertising tower called ‘Trainer’ Park Ji-hoon.

If you add up all the proposed advertising costs…

“Well, it would be almost 600 million…?”

It was 100 million won more than the 500 million won given to Park Ji-hoon when signing the contract.

Of course, this is a combination of only the advertising proposals received so far.

If you think about the more you will receive in the future, you will be able to earn at least 1 billion even if you don’t bet.

“Wow, is this the world’s only power? Oh, I got a call again. Hello?”

Shin Ji-yeon gave a thumbs up as if she was amazing, but then she got another call and went to make the call.

Park Ji-hoon looked at the scene and picked up his cell phone, which kept ringing.

Putting the phone alarm aside, he opened the banking app and checked his account balance.

“…Really, it’s surprising to see it again.”

I checked it earlier after signing the contract.

Seeing it again, it was new again.

There was exactly [500,000,000 won] stamped in his bank account.

Originally, taxes had to be deducted before coming in, but Shin Ji-yeon made it convenient for Another Guild to handle even the taxes.

A pure amount of 500 million won was able to enter the bank account.

“…Wow.”

This is money I thought I would never touch in my life.

This alone is so good that it makes your eyes dizzy.

When it comes to distribution of advertising costs…

“…I’m a hunter for this taste.”

In Park Ji-hoon’s mind, he is already in a large, sophisticated house where he lives with numerous female monsters who have become his familiars.

A foreign car that we ride together.

It was full of high-quality food eaten together.

“Uhehe.”

And Shin Ji-yeon is secretly caught in that imagination.

It was a secret that only he knew.
