-OH DEAR, SUHO! WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON?!

As soon as Suho answered the phone, his eardrum almost bled at that loud voice.

He answered with an awkward voice.

"Haha... Uncle, hello."

-What hello?! Your face suddenly appeared on the news, I was so shocked! How is your body? Are you okay? Are you hurt?

"I'm okay. Not even injured.

-Really?

"Yes. For real. I am fine."

-Switch to video call!

Suho changed the audio call to a video call.

A middle-aged man poked his face through his cell phone and glanced at Suho.

-Let me see. Your face is still handsome. How about your body... Did it get better? You really look fine.

"Because I really am."

-Thank God.

Only then did Suho's uncle, Yoo Jinho, let out a deep sigh of relief through his phone.

-You kid! I thought you were quietly drawing at school. When did you become a hunter? If you have awakened, you should have reported it to this uncle first.

"I'm sorry. I forgot because I was so busy these days."

That was never the reason.

Since he awakened, incidents and accidents have been constantly popping up every day.

It was surprising that even Suho himself had been an art student who had been quietly drawing ants in front of a canvas until just a month ago.

Yoo Jinho clicked his tongue at Suho's obvious excuse.

-There is something I forgot. You are my brother-in-law's son, but is it hereditary to be indifferent? You didn't tell your grandma and grandpa, did you?

"Yes. Why should I tell them? It will only worry those who live leisurely in the countryside for no reason."

-That's right. How bad it must be for the hearts of the elderly if they even read the news related to you this time. My heart raced so much after watching the news that I postponed all of my meetings scheduled for today. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝓮𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝙢

"I think Uncle's heart is worse. I don't think I've ever seen my grandparents in such pain in my life."

-Whatever, you rascal! Anyway, my schedule is empty right now because of you, do you have some time?

"Now? Yeah."

-Do you know how many people died in the disaster? Maybe seeing you with my own eyes will calm my heart, so let's see each other for the first time in a while. Do you know where our company is located?

"You want me to come to Uncle's company now?"

-Hmm. No. It would be annoying if people found out about the current situation. I'll get my driver to fetch you, just put on some clothes and get in my car.

When the call ended, Suho shrugged.

"Well, it's better."

He wanted to see his uncle's face after a long time.

To shake off the annoying flying insects outside.

Suho dressed roughly for going out.

* * *

Sigh.

After a while, a black limousine arrived in front of Suho's house.

"Are you Sung Suho? I came here to get you as ordered by the CEO."

'Awakener?'

Suho's eyes lit up at the familiar mana energy he felt from the driver.

'Did he send a driver and bodyguard?'

Doctor Min Byeonggu was the same, but just because he had awakened, not everyone wanted to risk their lives to enter the dungeon.

Rather, there were quite a few Awakeners who were engaged in safe work outside the dungeon like this if the salary was right.

"Get in the back. I will open it for you."

"No. I will take care of it."

Suho politely tried to stop the driver from opening the back door.

"Wait a minute! Stop there!"

"Mr. Sung Suho! Let's talk for a minute!"

The scouts who were waiting for Suho to run out in a hurry to block Suho's way.

"I am a headhunter from the Hyeonmu Guild! I know you're still a freelancer, can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Let's start with the terms and conditions! No matter where you go, a C-Class hunter will never get these conditions...!"

"Ugh! Why do you, people, keep on pushing?! Sung Suho, let's go to a nearby cafe."

Scouts scrambled to give Suho a business card, grab Suho by the wrist and drag him away.

Suho's brow furrowed slightly at their rude attitude.

[Scouts in large guilds are generally like this. In particular, they are overbearing against hunters below intermediate level because they think they are the top.]

Quay, accustomed to such things, whispered in a voice that only Suho could hear.

"Would you like to get in first?"

At that time, the driver who had come to pick up Suho took off his black sunglasses and stepped in front of Suho.

"I will solve this."

When he took off his sunglasses, his cold eyes were revealed.

However, despite his stern look, the scouts didn't care at all.

Rather, they began to press the driver with force.

"Hey. Can't you tell the difference between me wearing this and not?"

"We know and how dare a chauffeur or something intervene?"

"Do you know how much of an important opportunity of a lifetime has come to Hunter Sung Suho?"

The problem was that the scouts were also awakeners.

Since they had to deal with hunters because of their job, they need to be the frontline in recruiting newbies for greater chances of succeeding.

Just like that, an unusual air current flows between the driver and the scouts.

"It's okay. I will just talk."

Suho raised his hand to stop the driver and stepped forward.

Then, the faces of the scouts bloomed and began to condescend to Suho with expressions that they knew it would happen.

"Haha! As you should!"

"As expected, young friends can communicate well!"

"I assure you, if you listen to our terms, you will surely..."

That moment.

Rattle.

"...!"

The faces of the scouts who were excitedly opening their mouths quickly began to turn pale.

There it was... Suho's distant gaze, indifferently looking at them.

A pitch-black abyss whose end is unfathomable.

['Effect: Fear' is activated.]

[All stats of the targets are reduced by 50% for 1 minute.]

Suho opened his mouth.

"I don't know what the conditions are, but I will receive them by email. If you've got my home address, you probably know my email address. If you come to me like this again..."

Ring.

[You have learned 'Skill: Live Lv.1'.]

There was no need for an afterword.

As the system message guarantees, Suho's life skills were 'real' as he learned them through a lot of chaos.

"Let's go."

Suho takes his eyes off them and gets into the limousine.

The driver, who looked at the scene with a strange expression for a moment, put on his sunglasses again and lowered his head.

"Yes. We'll get moving."

The limousine is getting farther and farther away.

It wasn't until the time when Suho was no longer visible that the breath they had been holding back came out of the scouts' mouths.

"... Whoa."

"W-What was that just now?"

"How can his eyes..."

"C-Class? Are you sure about that information?" freewebno vel.com

"Isn't he a summoning hunter?"

As they looked at each other, they thought of one thing.

It was the need to increase their offers to give Suho.

[Young Master, how did you do that?]

Beru's excited voice was heard by Suho.

[Could you imitate Rakan Sword's 'Contempt for the Weak' skill?]

'Yeah, it worked when I just did it.'

[Wow! I'm so proud of you! Ever since, Young Master was a child prodigy!]

Leaving Beru's fuss behind, Suho checked the skill he had just developed.

[Skill: Live Lv.1]

Active skill.

Requires 100 mana.

Inflicts fear on the target for 1 minute with powerful energy. Multiple targets can be specified.

Effect 'Fear': All stats -50%

'Contempt for the weak and the details are the same. Should I say it's for a more general-purpose?'

Whatever the name, the effect would be similar anyway.

After all, it wouldn't work if used to someone stronger than him.

* * *

"We're here."

After a while, a luxurious tall building appeared in front of Suho who got off the limousine.

[AJINSOFT]

The best game company in Korea, both in name and reality, that succeeded in the virtual reality game industry.

Suho's uncle, Yoo Jinho, was the founder of that company.

[Ajinsoft CEO Yoo Jinho, a miraculous success story of a young entrepreneur who refused to succeed a conglomerate!]

This was the story that Yoo Jinho had before becoming famous when Suho was very young.

But at this time, no one would have expected it.

The game company run by Yoo Jinho, the youngest member of a conglomerate family, has been consistently winning and winning for 20 years, establishing itself as the best game company in Korea.

In particular, its first successful virtual reality game called 'Beautiful World' was a terrible longevity game that has been steadily popular even after 20 years.

Middle-aged gamers who have been playing the game for 20 years have even nicknamed it 'Beautiful Man'.

"Would you like to follow me? I will guide you to the CEO."

"Ah, yes."

Suho followed the driver and took a leisurely look at the magnificent interior of the company.

'I heard there's something new here every time I come.'

Befitting a company that succeeded with virtual reality games, state-of-the-art virtual reality equipment was displayed in the spacious lobby on the first floor.

Suho also enjoyed playing games until his awakening, so he was looking around to see if there were any new games or equipment.

'... Huh?'

Today, something different than usual caught his eye.

'Why are hunters running around the game company?'

Inside the building, fully armed hunters were walking around being wary of each other.

'Did a dungeon open here?'

[Couldn't it be that the flying insects came after knowing that the Young Master came here?]

[They have no reaction even if they make eye contact with Master. Could it be that they came for a job offer?]

"Work? What kind of business do hunters have at the game company?"

As Quay mentioned, the hunters did not react at all even when they saw Suho.

A few of them with good senses noticed that Suho was a hunter, but rather looked at him with eyes that found him as a competitor.

"What's with that idiot?"

"How could he come in confidently dressed like that?"

'... Hmm?'

Suho was even more confused when the hunters laughed while looking at him up and down with his casual clothes.

"Those hunters must be curious."

The driver who was walking with him noticed Suho's expression and explained it.

"The new game that the company is planning these days needs some advice from hunters. Because of that, many hunters have been coming to the company until their feet are worn out."

"Hunter? Because of a game?"

Suho made an even more puzzled expression at those words.

"Yes. After all, if the game goes well, the hunter guild that helped will receive promotional effect. This is confidential, so if you meet the CEO, ask him directly. He's right there."

Just then, I saw Yoo Jinho talking with a hunter in the distance.

"Haha. CEO, is there any other guild with a better image than our Hyeonmu guild? Collaborating with us is..."

"Hmm. You don't have to keep coming back like this. We will make a selection based on fair standards."

"Oh, sure. Of course you have to be fair. So please look at our armed appearance like this, and we..."

Hyeonmu Guild's Manager Lee Youngho was rubbing his hands together walking after Yoo Jinho.

As Suho was about to approach, armed hunters blocked his way and glared at him.

"Who are you again?"

"Adults are having important conversations, but you can't even grasp the atmosphere..."

But then...

"Oh, Suho! You must have had a hard time coming!"

Yoo Jinho, who happened to find Suho, smiled broadly and started running towards Suho, leaving Chief Lee Youngho behind.

"...!"

The eyes of the hunters widened wide at that appearance.
