302 Future Aspirations (3) With a grave expression, Soon Soon-jin gathered her papers and left the classroom. Her unsteady steps looked precarious, but she managed to walk down the hallway without stumbling. Though it sounded grandiose, in the end, what I was trying to say could be summed up as: “Get yourself a hobby.” Isn’t that right? What is the work of a Hunter, after all? Dungeon raids and monster hunting. What else is there? The Administration requires that, regardless of the…

386 Clue (1) “…It’s not my fault.” “Did anyone say it was your fault?” Sitting in the passenger seat, Hong Seok-yeong snickered. “Why are you so lacking in confidence?” “It’s not that…” “You shouldn’t apologize when you haven’t done anything wrong.” Hong Seok-yeong spoke with a voice tinged with laughter. “Even if you really did something wrong, you should still act with confidence.” “That’s not right.” “Why not?” “What do you…

304 Youthful Girls (2) April 5th is a day laden with meaning in many ways. On April 5th, a dungeon break occurs in Myeong-dong. It was a disaster in the heart of Seoul. Dungeon breaks can happen at any time, but on this day, the Myeong-dong incident was compounded by human error. The dungeon, originally ranked S, had its grade falsified by the responsible guild, so proper preparations were not in place. Because it was the center of Seoul, the damage was immense. But for the same reason,…

472 A Working Man (1) I don’t like mirrors. Because they are the most ordinary means by which I have to face myself. Other things are fine. No, in truth, they’re not fine, but at least I can fool myself since I don’t have to see them. “I—I’m sorry…” A voice, thick with tears, clings to my ankles like mud, but even so, I can deceive myself. But not in front of a mirror. Eyes shining gold—no one could mistake them for human. To others, perhaps, they might not stand out…

483 Savior (1) “At least once, there’s a future where I kill every last member of Ark.” My father spoke with utter nonchalance, yet with a certainty I had never seen before. Seeing his face, I reflexively wanted to scold him for saying something so absurd, but the words wouldn’t come. I was at a loss. No matter how flippant he could be, my father never joked about things like this. And was it really… such an absurd thing to say? Was it, truly? “What made you think…

319 The Duty of a Younger Sibling (4) The Archmage is competent. To be honest, more than just competent—convenient. Look at Kim Chaemin. Offense? Defense? There’s nothing he can’t do. In truth, Kim Chaemin is an exception. Most archmages, with their clearly defined specialty magic, are highly specialized. It may depend on the type of magic, but if every archmage could do what Kim Chaemin does, the world would have long since been conquered by magicians. It probably has something to do…

297 Will (3) The Director’s order that everyone working at the Supernatural Management Agency write a will sent ripples through the organization in more ways than one. Not all the responses were positive. But when had the Agency ever been met with only praise? No one paid it much mind. In fact, even those who had been skeptical at first, after actually writing their wills, would quietly admit that maybe it wasn’t such a bad idea. As I said before, being a Hunter was a job that brushed against…

246 Safety Device (2) Despite all those years that had passed, the existence of the magician remained shrouded in mystery. Magicians liked to describe themselves this way: “Human. More intelligent and enlightened than anyone.” On the other hand, those who were not magicians would often whisper: “Beast. A savage creature imitating an intelligent lifeform.” Personally, I don’t think either side is entirely wrong. Magicians are clever. They are people who strive to uncover some…

510 In a Dream (5) Book. Before I could even process what Hope had said, the dungeon shifted its shape. This time, it was darkness. Pitch-black, not a single star in sight. It reminded me of that time when Park Seohyun briefly lost control of her mana. If it were Park Seohyun or Choi Jinwoo, maybe they would have adapted more easily to this place. Maybe they would have found the way out with less trouble. But what good does it do to think about kids who haven’t even graduated yet? And if I…

495 Moby (1) Under Kim Chaemin’s command, it had now been three days since the mages had begun supplying moisture to the monster. The fish continued to drift through the sky, never leaving the vapor. In truth, it lay still most of the time, looking for all the world as though it were dead. If it hadn’t occasionally flicked a fin or shaken its scales, one might easily have mistaken it for a corpse. The bleeding, which had been the greatest concern, had completely stopped by the third day. The…

334 Smuggling Reports: 125(2) Whenever an Awakened individual was suspected of being involved in a crime in any country, a Hunter would inevitably be drawn into the investigation. This was true everywhere in the world. The only real difference was which organization handled the investigation. In Korea, it was managed by the police. While the department for investigating Awakened crimes would grow in scale over time, it would always remain a subordinate division of the National Police Agency. Some…

279 Betting (3) The world is noisy right now. Among the runes that had been revealed one after another through Dayeon were some developed by Noah Michel but never made public, as well as runes released by magicians associated with Noah Michel. With such a blatant provocation, I wondered how they would respond now. “Ah, I can’t believe the new semester is already here! I’m so nervous!” Kim Chaemin deliberately came to my side, where I was working, and chattered away. This person was…

487 Sinking Swamp (3) An innate magic is the act of interpreting the mana that runs in a mage’s own blood. In a way, it is even more instinctive than other forms of magic. That’s why Kim Chaemin used to joke that this was the most intuitive way to get to know oneself. After all, a hunter can’t simply swap out their mana the way they change weapons. So Park Seohyun’s mana, and her innate magic, should have remained the same. “Seohyun, this side’s ready!” “Remember what we…

462 Nightmare of All Hunters (2) “There are some monsters that move in groups, I’ll grant you that….” Daniel wore a doubtful expression at Kim Chaemin’s words. “Some of them even follow a leader, like animals do. But I’ve never heard of fairies behaving that way.” “Monsters don’t abide by common sense. You can’t think of them as ordinary animals.” Han Taekyung countered. Daniel gazed at Han Taekyung’s eyes—or perhaps his sunglasses, or whatever they were—then…

414 Butterflies of Memory (4) My mind was in complete disarray. The time we spent facing off against the fairy at the gate was less than five minutes. But if someone told me it had been five hours, I would have believed it. Even among fairies, Tati had never felt this threatening. When we first entered the dungeon, it did attack us, but thinking back, that was… not entirely sincere. It was more like it was testing us. Trying to figure out why we’d come into the dungeon—whether we were there…

295 Will (1) Exactly ten days had passed since the Boston Dungeon Break. The world was still in an uproar over Alex Hope in his FBI jacket. Americans with a fondness for conspiracy theories were chattering away about secret agents and the like. Even in Korea, there were people who, after seeing those theories, would spout off without much thought. Truth be told, the circumstances were suspicious, and the secret agent theory wasn’t entirely off the mark. Anyway, what I’m trying to say is…

240 Father and Daughter (2) “Dad has always loved you both….” Hong Seok-young read the letter in a low voice. A letter? Could this really be called a letter? Isn’t it more like a will? “After this, there’s a bit where he curses me… The rest, well.” “……” “……” Hong Seok-young fell silent. It was quiet. The faint sounds from outside barely kept the car from being submerged in complete silence. But it was just as suffocating. Unable to…

562 (Extra Story 29) Stars That Shine Together_1 “………Mmm?” The room was dark. Cup noodles and empty cups were scattered messily across the desk, and books and printed reports were piled high. The walls were covered with hastily scribbled notes, written in handwriting so rough as to be nearly illegible. The window was blocked by thick curtains. Yet, through a gap that hadn’t been fully closed, a single bright shaft of sunlight spilled across the bed. From beneath the blanket, a hand…

270 The Prophet (1) “Hmmm.” His hair, still damp and not properly dried, clung unpleasantly to his face and the back of his neck. Alex Hope blinked as he looked at the phone screen. The world really was something these days. You could see and talk to someone face-to-face, even if they were all the way across the Pacific. “Hmmm…” Alex tilted his head from side to side, lost in thought. The longer he hesitated, the more he could see the face on the phone screen hardening. Well,…

444 Once Again (4) The events in Okinawa were gradually fading from memory. Proof of that could be seen in the bright faces of the French hunters who had come from Okinawa to Korea. They’d brought piles of gifts—chocolates and other treats—supposedly for the Korean students, but their luggage was…
