Chapter 2393 – 2393. A-Class Hunter
Hunters are a dangerous profession.
It’s only natural, considering they risk their lives hunting monsters. Monsters aren’t ordinary creatures, after all. They’re beasts with different abilities. Even a hunter with special powers can get taken out in an instant if they’re careless.
But people still aspire to become hunters.
Is it for the money? No, that’s not the only reason.
Becoming a hunter doesn’t guarantee you’ll make money right away. Considering the equipment and training needed to learn combat skills, it actually costs more money. One way to save money is to join a guild. Guilds usually provide basic equipment.
‘But most guild members are just salarymen. You only start making real money when you reach C-Class or higher.’
To become a C-Class hunter, you have to awaken your mana.
A hunter who can’t use mana? Can you even call them a hunter?
‘People often say a hunter’s life changes three times: when they awaken, when they become C-Class, and when they become A-Class.’
S-Class is an exception.
In today’s terms, S-Class hunters are like national powers. Most hunters can’t reach S-Class no matter how hard they try. Only innate talent can lead you down the path to S-Class.
‘I’m A-Class now. This is what they call a life-changing moment.’
At first, I didn’t really feel it.
But as time passed, the news of me becoming an A-Class hunter started to spread.
It’s because of my age.
I became an A-Class hunter at the young age of 23. And I was also that hunter who was famous for appearing on TV.
I awakened late and became an A-Class hunter in about three years, showing unbelievable growth. I’m a talent that the hunter world is paying attention to. Maybe even a super talent who could become S-Class.
‘I don’t know how they found out, but my phone has been blowing up lately.’
Broadcasting stations, hunter guilds, the Hunter Association, even some random middle school classmates I don’t even remember.
I was really feeling the change in my life since becoming an A-Class hunter.
‘I’m already in a guild, and I’m not interested in broadcasting. Middle school classmates? I’ve blocked all those nobodies.’
I got into my car.
It wasn’t a car I bought to celebrate becoming an A-Class hunter, but a supercar I borrowed. It’s a bit embarrassing, but there was no other choice. Even if you buy a car, it doesn’t come right away. If you want custom work, it can take months.
‘I should get Na Chaeyoung to customize a supercar from the Eternal Eden world and bring it over.’
I wasn’t really interested in supercars, but as an A-Class hunter, I needed to maintain a certain image.
‘If an A-Class hunter drives some random car, the other A-Class hunters will complain. I can see it now.’
I drove the supercar to the restaurant where I was meeting Park Suho.
We’ve been busy lately, so it’s been a while since we’ve had a meal together. The purpose was to brag to Park Suho.
I arrived at the Korean beef restaurant and frowned. There was no place to park. Well, there was, but it was a narrow corner spot.
‘Ugh, I have no choice. Inventory.’
I stored the car in my inventory. With my current strength, I could easily lift a car.
Watching the supercar being stored in my inventory, I felt incredibly relieved.
‘I don’t have to suffer from parking. Heh.’
I could store hundreds of cars in my inventory. I walked into the restaurant with a confident stride. Park Suho had arrived earlier and was waiting for me.
“Hyung. You’re here?”
“Yeah, Suho. It’s me.”
I sat across from him.
Park Suho didn’t look good. There were dark circles under his eyes. He looked gloomy and depressed.
I had come to brag about becoming an A-Class hunter, but I hesitated. Even I had some sense.
“What’s wrong?”
“Things haven’t been going well lately.”
“Really? I’ll pay for everything today, so eat as much as you want. Have some beef and cheer up. By the way, did I tell you I became an A-Class hunter?”
“Ah, you told me last time. Congratulations on your A-Class promotion. Sigh, I was aiming for A-Class too… but it seems difficult for now.”
I looked at Park Suho. He was weaker than the last time I saw him. He hadn’t recovered from the aftermath of the territory war defeat in the Tattoo World.
‘He seemed to have power above A-Class before… but now he’s at B-Class level.’
“You’re still officially C-Class, right?”
“No. I got promoted to B-Class last time. It’s been a while… didn’t you know?”
“Of course, I knew. I was just joking because you looked so depressed. Hey, being B-Class at your age is really fast. You have a lot of potential… you could become A-Class quickly too.”
“Sigh. I wish.”
Park Suho ate the beef as soon as it was cooked. He looked like a starving beggar. It seems he hasn’t been eating well lately.
“Is it because of the Tattoo World?”
“…Yeah. After losing the territory war, Beroprin’s growth has stagnated. All the residents left as a result of the defeat… and new residents aren’t coming in. Things haven’t been going well diplomatically either. Sigh, what should I do?”
I decided to give this poor guy some advice. Who am I? I’m Eugene Prukerus, the true ruler of the [Baekhwan] world. Territory management? It’s nothing to me.
“You know, I think you’re too humane.”
“…Huh?”
“What kind of world is the Tattoo World? At best, it’s a medieval world. You’re looking at the territory with too much of a modern perspective. Do you know what noblesse oblige means?”
“That’s a famous saying. The duty of the nobility.”
“Right. The duty of the nobility. It’s about status. Nobles should act like nobles, commoners like commoners, and slaves like slaves. You’re a noble, but you’re too lenient with the commoners and slaves. To the point where you’re threatening the social hierarchy. In the medieval era, commoners are just potential slaves, and slaves aren’t even human. You’re talking about concepts like human rights that don’t even exist in that world, and you’ve been too good to your residents. Other territories take over 70% in taxes, but you take too little. How can your territory develop like that?”
“Well, I was able to develop using modern items. If I take too much in taxes, the citizens will suffer… and because the taxes are low, many people come to Beroprin.”
“But you lost the territory war. Did the number of residents increase after that? They probably left. Right?”
“……”
“It’s good to be merciful to your residents… but your territory needs to become strong first. That’s the priority.”
I didn’t hold back on my advice to Park Suho. Park Suho ate the beef with a blank expression, listening to my advice.
“Listening to you, hyung, I think I’ve been too complacent.”
“You have been. It’s good that you’ve realized it now.”
I didn’t think Park Suho would change right away just from my advice. But he must have learned something, so he’ll change to some extent.
‘Honestly, the tips I’m giving are really valuable… but if Park Suho gets too weak, it’ll be a pain for me.’
After the meal, Park Suho hesitated for a moment, looking at me, and finally spoke.
“Um, hyung. Could I borrow some money? I was thinking of managing my territory according to your advice… but I’m a bit short on funds. Ah, I’m not asking for it for free. I’ll pay you back with interest.”
“You can get a loan from the bank. Isn’t it easy for C-Class or higher hunters to get loans?”
“Well… I already borrowed some in advance.”
“What, you’re in debt?”
“…Yeah. The territory war was a bit sudden, so I took out some loans. And because I lost the territory war, it’s hard to pay them back… I even looked into private loans, but they wouldn’t lend to me because I’m a hunter.”
“That’s because they don’t have the confidence to get money back from a hunter. How much money do you need?”
“…About 3 billion won. Is that possible?”
“Haha. Of course, it’s possible. I’m an A-Class hunter. A-Class hunters make more than most small and medium-sized businesses. Ah, but since it’s a large sum, we need a promissory note.”
I had plenty of money. I could lend him 10 billion won, not just 3 billion.
“Of course. Hyung, I’ll definitely pay you back.”
“You can pay me back slowly. You’re a hunter, so you can pay back 3 billion won. Even if you can’t, you can bring back special items or herbs from the Tattoo World and sell them for 3 billion won easily.”
“It’s not that easy to make money… but I’m going to invest now and try to develop my territory as much as possible. I’m going to bring modern items and sell them in that world. The nobles are interested in strange items.”
“Really? Then 3 billion won isn’t enough, is it? Should I lend you about 30 billion won?”
“That’s… wouldn’t that be too much of a burden for you, hyung?”
“Suho, the world is won by those with a lot of capital. And you’re doing a business that’s guaranteed to succeed. If you can make 30 billion won by spending 3 billion won… it’s more profitable to spend 30 billion won and make 300 billion won. Selling modern items in a medieval world… it’s impossible to fail.”
“Y-Yeah, that’s right. It’s impossible to fail.”
Park Suho swallowed hard and nodded.
We went to a nearby lawyer’s office and wrote a promissory note.
Park Suho would easily pay back 30 billion won. No matter how I thought about it, Park Suho couldn’t fail. Even if Park Suho failed due to bad luck, it didn’t matter. 30 billion won was nothing.
‘If he fails, Park Suho will become my slave. Not that I need him.’
Anyway, by lending money to Park Suho, I solidified my position as the superior.
“Hyung. I’ll get going now. I have a lot to do. And I’ll pay you back as quickly as possible. Thank you.”
Park Suho headed to a hunter shop. He was probably planning to buy cheap hunter equipment to arm his soldiers.
‘Arming them… is he planning to conquer nearby territories by force? My advice worked. Not a bad choice.’
‣ ‣ ‣
After that, I went straight to a club.
When I showed my A-Class hunter card while riding in my supercar, I was immediately treated like a VIP. As soon as I sat in the room, girls came to hook up with me.
“Oppa. I heard you came alone?”
“Do you want to hang out with us?”
“Is this your first time at this club?”
Three girls appeared. They had pretty faces and bodies, but… they weren’t enough to satisfy my eyes as an A-Class hunter.
But I don’t turn away girls who come to me.
“You girls… your faces aren’t great, but your chests and butts are decent. Okay. Who wants to go first?”
“…What the hell is this guy? He’s crazy!”
Bang!
The girls closed the door and left.
I couldn’t help but feel dumbfounded.
‘If you’re an A-Class hunter, shouldn’t girls spread their legs right away? I heard that if an A-Class hunter just smiles, girls will spread their legs and beg for his dick.’
The source of that information was Oh Junhyuk, my friend. He’s still a D-Class hunter who hasn’t even been promoted to C-Class, but he’s a club regular, so I believed him.
‘Did that bastard lie to me…?’
I decided to put him in a headlock later and called a waiter.
“Ahem. Tell the girls who just left that I made a mistake. And give them this too.”
I slipped him a wad of cash as a tip. The girls’ gifts were some luxury bags.
“Haha, leave it to me! Sir! I’m a professional at this!”
With the power of money, I was able to easily seduce the girls. I used arousal enhancement and had sex with the girls in the room.
When I saw them fighting over who would sit in the passenger seat of my supercar, I laughed. Of course, I didn’t let all three of them in.
“Get lost, you sluts. You’re not worthy of being my fuck toys.”
Even I wouldn’t make girls who sleep around my fuck toys. Unless they’re celebrity-level. These girls are definitely not celebrity-level.
“Slut? What’s with this guy!?”
An angry girl slapped me across the face. I was laughing at the girls who had fallen while fighting each other, and I was caught off guard.
[Crisis Detection is activated. Remaining stacks: 5]
The world slowed down as the skill activated. I belatedly noticed the girl slapping me.
‘This girl, didn’t she say she was an F-Class hunter in the room? She didn’t tell me what her ability was… now I see. It’s an ability to erase her presence.’
That’s why I didn’t react to this kind of girl, even though I was caught off guard.
I easily dodged the slap and slapped the girl back.
Slap!
“Kyaaaah!”
My semen dripped down the girl’s legs as she fell, screaming. I was about to step on the girl, but I decided to show mercy when I saw the dripping semen. She was my fuck toy for tonight, after all. Let’s be generous.
“I’ll let it slide this time. Even though your pussy was loose… I did enjoy it. Well, see ya.”
Vroooom!
The supercar sped off.
And the next day. I was summoned by the police. The girl who slapped me had reported me for rape.
But it was okay. I had a strong backer.
I contacted Ha Seunghee and borrowed the legal team from Sejin Group. I headed to the police station with a strong team of lawyers.
I flicked my finger at the shocked bitch.
“This is the power of an A-Class hunter. You’re screwed.”
“O-Oppa. I was wrong. I think I was out of my mind because of the alcohol… can’t we settle?”
“No. No. No. I’ll only let it slide once. I’ll make sure you go to a women’s prison! And actually, I’m four years younger than you, you bitch!”
She offered to let me fuck her pussy ten times, so I was going to settle, but I refused. Then she said she’d let me fuck her friend’s pussy too, so I agreed to settle.
Having enjoyed the life of an A-Class hunter, I decided to meet Han Ayoung after a long time.
