Chapter 1

prolog

"Here, change the grill."

"Hey, a spoon, please."

'Student, I'll order you a meal.' Busy orders followed from place to place. There are already 16 tables full. Park Tae-min, 29, this year.

He was a very ordinary restaurant worker. Until it happens.

"I'm off work."

"Yeah. Come out a little early tomorrow. I need to trim the ingredients."

"Yes."

Tae-min, who came out of greeting the boss, sighed as he looked around in the dark.

How long do you have to do this?

Will it be?

After his father was retired due to the economic recession, Tae-min had to give up his studies.

I was 21 years old.

At that time, I felt like I could do anything.

the spirit of youth

But society wasn't as easy as he thought.

There were two main ways to get a job in modern society.

Do you really have an unrivaled ability, or do you have a so-called bag?

Unfortunately, he didn't have either.

Until last year, I had been self-taught and studied, but I gave up even after suffering from heavy labor every day.

"If it's any less difficult."

With a small sigh, complaints came out of my mouth.

That's why, originally, a total of three people were watching the serving and cleaning of the restaurant.

But the only reason the game is difficult is because...

The death was cut, and not long after that, another one was cut.

In the end, Tae-min, who was in charge of three people's work, could say that every day was a series of heavy labor.

However, it was not a noticeable increase in salary.

It's only 300,000 won. The cost of carrying the empty seats has increased by only 150,000 won per two people.

Whenever Tae-min had a hard time, there was a saying that the boss always consoled him.

"Think it's my restaurant, it's not hard and fun.”

Work is

To be honest, Tae-min hated hearing that the most.

You're right. How can the boss's restaurant be his own?

Whenever Tae-min heard that, he was desperate to give up even though he was mean.

Nevertheless, however, he could not leave the restaurant.

Monthly living expenses and monthly rent.

It's a small wage compared to the labor intensity, but it's rare to find a part-time job anywhere around here and pay this much.

70,000 won for 12 hours of labor a day.

"Whoo."

Tae-min, who was walking down the street with a deep sigh, suddenly felt a bright view ahead.

A loud claxon sound at the same time.

A sports car flashed against him as he looked back.

It's cold.

Tae-min knows the car very well.

The latest Pirche 937, recently purchased by the president.

Tae-min bent down and the auxiliary seat window opened, revealing the face of the boss he didn't want to see.

"Are you going home?"

"Yes."

"It's late, why are you walking?"

"Gyeonggi-do is difficult, but we need to save money.”

"Hey, how much do you care about me?

To make a good living. Get in the car. the modern world

It's terrible. What if it goes wrong?

Go. You know we won't go around the restaurant if something goes wrong, right?”

"Something's going to happen.”

"Anyway, I'm going. If you can, take a cab in."

The window closed and the boss's car moved away from Tae-min's view.

Looking at it, a small whine flowed out of Tae-min's mouth.

"You're not even going to give me a ride. show-off

I walked about 20 minutes to get to the neighborhood.

Tae-min went into a shabby studio apartment.

This studio, which may have been built more than 20 years ago, was his only home and a haven of life.

When he came home and took a shower, he lay on the bed as if collapsing.

And as usual, I turned on the TV and turned the channel to 302.

Number 302 is a world-famous radar channel.

Here, Reid is the hunting of monsters by hunters awakening their abilities.

Fifty years ago, an unknown charge.

The crushing hit the earth.

It was an unprecedented power outage around the world, and almost all electronic devices went out of business.

Government officials and scientists from each country tried to unravel the case, but they could not find out the cause.

A year later.

Abnormalities have occurred all over the world.

Portal is what was discovered.

And monsters started popping out of the portal.

Monsters massacred people, destroying cities at random.

Of course, the army came in, but the human army was useless to them.

This is because the modernizer did not work at all due to some unknown action.

Humans who lost all their weapons went underground to escape the monsters.

A quarter of the ground was devastated, and none of the countries resolved the situation.

The world will all be in despair.

Ryeop.

A ray of hope arose for mankind as well.

It is the awakening that began to emerge.

The awakening are those affected by meteorite rain a year after the portal was created.

Hundreds of thousands of meteorite debris spread around the world at that time.

Those who took it all awoke to become hunters who envied everyone.

Hunters can hunt monsters, any job that exists on Earth.

He could have made more money than karma, but he could have made hundreds or thousands of money by taking the body of a lower-class monster.

Not only that, but also because it is the only job that can acquire Ma Jeong-seok, the ultimate king of alternative energy resources, those in the top ranks made tens of billions of dollars a night, depending on the class.

This is not why it is a company where people walk around pointing at them for no reason.

Tae-min's salary at the restaurant is only 2.2 million won.

There's no comparison with them, but to make a strong comparison, hunters can make a hand at a time when they have to make money until he dies of old age.

"Whoo. I'd rather be a terminal hunter, so I'd like to be awakened."

When I fall asleep with false hope.

Whoosh!

Sirens rang out somewhere.

Stand up!

Tae-min raised himself reflexively as soon as he heard the sound.

This siren is an alarm that a monster has appeared in the city center.

In other words, it meant that monsters were wandering around here.

He quickly went out to the veranda and looked out the window.

An opportunity to see monsters in real life, not on TV.

However, the street was only silent, overshadowed by the loud alarm.

What is it? Is it somewhere else?’

I was looking around for a long time and tried to close the window, but in the dark, a strange man...

I'm starting to see it.

The object, which was moving so fast that it was hard to follow with the eyes, stopped moving between the telephone pole and the old clothes collection box.

"What is it? It's too dark to see.’

Tae-min narrowed his forehead, trying to see it somehow.

And finally the object appeared under the one-of-a-kind lamppost.

"Hey, it's a person, right?”

It was the woman who showed up blandly.

a red hair that hangs long to the waist

A pure white, lewd dress that can be seen at any event in Liqarak.

"What kind of woman are you, walking around in that costume until this time?"

As she tried to close the window, her head suddenly turned up.

And eye contact.

Before Tae-min could think anything, a woman's new brother flew into the air.

"Gasp."

In an instant, the woman on the fifth floor walked past Tae-min and came straight in.

"What, what!"

"Shh. I won't hurt you. If you don't want to die, shut your mouth and shut your windows."

Tae-min couldn't help but do what the woman told him to do.

Because her nails, which had grown like knives, were aiming at her Adam's apple.

He instinctively realized that something was wrong.

And my legs began to shake with unfeasible fear.

"Sa, save me."

"See."

That's what a woman said, and she's in the middle of the room.

I sat there and lit up a strange light.

Later, when the cloth on the belly was torn apart, a disgusting smell vibrated in the room with black blood.

On closer inspection, the whole ship was rotting.

It was a huge wound at a glance, but the woman looked silently at her stomach without groaning.

In this sudden situation Tae-min began to use his brain as much as he could.

If his guess is right, the woman in front of him was more likely to be a monster.

Second to jumping five stories high.

It is normal to have died if he was injured this much.

The sound of the siren was suspicious.

That is, he thinks, this woman was wounded by hunters, crawled into the neighborhood and fled to her home.

Thinking that way, I was at a loss and there was endless fear.

There was no monster friendly to man he knew.

Now he's hurt and doing that, but he didn't know when he'd turn and kill himself.

So what do we do now?

Tae-min managed to talk to her with her mouth still open.

"Hey... I think your wound is too bad. Can I get you some medicine? The pharmacy is right in front of me.”

Her knifed nails, which stretched like a lie at the words, aimed at his Adam's apple.

"Don't play tricks, man."

He was almost surprised by the appearance and quickly made excuses.

"Oh, no. I'm so worried...…

"You don't know anything. This is not a wound that can be cured by human-made drugs."

"Then how can I wear a bandage.…

"Well, that's how you want to get out of here? If that's your wish, I'll do it. With a decapitated body.”

Tae-min had to shut his open mouth in a hurry because of the woman's fearsome threat.

So he observed the woman in the corner without saying a word.

Do you really want me to live?’

If you're going to kill something, there's nothing strange about killing it now.

Tae-min suddenly wondered about her.

What the hell are you doing... No, maybe a monster.

"What is it?"

"Can I ask you what you're doing?”

Her cold answer returned to the courageous water.

"You don't need to know."

"Yes••••••

Silence ensued again.

And the day dawned before I knew it.

I dozed off for a moment and woke up, and the woman was sitting still with her eyes open.

Damn it, this wasn't a dream. By the way, he's a total human being on the outside, so how... Huh?

Tae-min's sight, which was carefully looking at her, caught one thing that he couldn't see yesterday.

Red beads on the table.

The woman's gaze was fixed on the bead.

Again curious Tae-min pointed to the bead and asked.

"What's that?"

"The essence of the Reganic. In other words, the stone of awakening."

"A awakening stone, a device that could be a hunter?"

"Device? Well, maybe."

At the words of the woman Tae-min once again observed the stone carefully.

Can he really be a hunter if he uses that?

By the time he was curious, the woman looked back and forth at the stone and the wound.

And then a little sigh came out of his mouth.

It came out.

"I'm afraid I'm wrong.

"What?"

"The wound doesn't heal at all. I should've avoided that kidney at the end."

"Don't do that. I'd rather be treated now.…

She cut Tae-min's horse.

"Human."

"No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm worried.…

He was evasive, but she muttered something meaningful.

"Yes, if it's a world I won't have anyway, it wouldn't be bad to be destroyed by human hands. It's a shame that I can't see his face and go. Well, this is a way to screw him with this way.”

Right after the murmur. The room was filled with steam or something.

Then the woman's body began to blur.

"What, what?"

"Man, don't waste the opportunity I gave you."

"What?"

The woman's figure completely disappeared at the same time as the half-moon.

The steam that filled the room had also disappeared as if it had never happened.

In the midst of confusion, the stone that still remained stood out came to my eyes.

"Is this a stone that could be a hunter?"

Tae-min looked around the kite, not even for anyone to see.

Can I touch it a little bit?

Conflicts couldn't help but arise.
