But if you have watched all previous episodes, skip to the time displayed in front of you. Thank you for your legendary comments, thank you for your tremendous support for this series. I hope you will give the episode the largest number of likes, and let's begin.

Jinwoo met with the Chairman of the Hunter Association. The latter thanked him for the great help he provided in the last mission, and without him, they would not have succeeded in clearing Jeju Island. Brothers, I have a cold, so I apologize for the sound quality. Let's continue.

The Chairman told him that the association, with all its members, is grateful to him and wants to reward him in any way possible. Then he asked Jinwoo about his new goals, especially after he showed his strength to the world. Now all countries will try to recruit him, and the Chairman does not intend to stand idly by. Jinwoo said that he wants to establish his own guild. The Chairman did not object and told him that Rank S hunters do not need any permit. He told him, "Just submit the application and the necessary documents, and we will take care of the rest." Then he changed the subject and asked him about something strange that happened on Jeju Island after the battle. Jinwoo did not understand his intention. The Chairman told him that the hunters who undertook the mission to comb the island were found unconscious, and most of them were of Rank B and C, which surprised them. He asked him if he had left any barriers on the island that might be the cause. Jinwoo replied that he had not left anything behind. Then the Chairman asked what the hunters said after they woke up. He told him that they did not remember anything that happened, and he suggested that they were subjected to a magical attack. Jinwoo said, "Perhaps it was a trap left by the ants." At that moment, a guard came and informed the Chairman that an important person was waiting for him. The Chairman immediately ended the meeting and thanked Jinwoo for his time. Jinwoo was not bothered by the Chairman's departure because he also couldn't stand the atmosphere of meetings. He headed to his car, and here a person approached him and asked, "Are you Mr. Sung Jinwoo?" Jinwoo did not reply and wondered to himself what this person wanted. The man stepped forward and took out his ID. His name was Adam, and he was a representative of the American Hunter Association. He told him, "I went to your office to meet you, but I didn't find you there. I apologize for showing up without an appointment." Jinwoo asked him why he wanted to meet him. Adam told him that he had information that concerned him and said, "I guarantee you that you have never heard this information before, and you will not find it anywhere else." Jinwoo asked him, "If this information is so important, why do you want to give it to me?" Adam explained that the association benefits from exchanging information with distinguished hunters like him. He told him that the last raid that occurred on Jeju Island greatly affected the Vice President, and he was eager to meet you to discuss matters of utmost importance. Then he pointed to a car nearby waiting for them and invited him to meet the Vice President. Jinwoo, brothers, refused the offer for the time being and told him, "I will think about it and then I will contact you later." At this point, Adam decided to reveal his strongest card and asked Jinwoo with confidence, "Have you ever heard of the Developer? Do you know that there is an Awakened who can raise the level of another Awakened?" These words were enough to make Jinwoo get into the car without hesitation, and they drove off. They stopped in front of a huge building that looked like a hotel. The Vice President, whose name was Michael Connor, welcomed them. He only speaks English, so Adam will handle the translation. Michael decided to get straight to the point. He placed a sealed file on the table and told Sung that the file contained all the necessary papers for immigration to America. He said that collecting these papers under normal circumstances would take at least two years, but for Jinwoo, all he needs is a signature, and he will become an American citizen. Sung gave him a firm and serious look and said, "I came for information, that's what your assistant told me. I want to know more about the person called the Developer." Michael replied, "The person you are asking about is here." Then he ordered a guard to bring the Developer. The Developer was a woman named Norma. Michael confirmed to him that she was the only one who possessed this ability. She can help Awakened overcome their limits and reach higher levels. Jinwoo noticed that this woman's aura was different from other hunters. Michael asked her to explain her ability in detail to his guest. She looked at Sung and said, "It seems you don't believe us. I don't blame you. Everyone who came before you had the same impression. But as soon as I use my ability on you, your doubt will disappear. All Awakened have a limit they cannot surpass, and here comes my role. I can help you overcome that limit." Michael told him that this ability is exhausting, and Norma needs a long rest after using it. That's why only a few get this opportunity. Jinwoo admitted to himself that it was an amazing ability if her words were true. Then he asked her about the effectiveness of this process. She told him that the results vary from person to person, but it is expected to increase his power by 30%. This number shocked Sung because it was very large, and he wouldn't need any training. This offer was indeed tempting, and he understood why Hunter Hwang moved to America despite all the criticism. No one can refuse such an offer. Then he told Michael that if this information leaked, it could cause chaos outside. The Vice President replied that their job is to protect Norma and provide her with everything she needs, whether it's money or anything she wants. In return, she helps the hunters chosen by the office. He told him, "Consider this a gift from us to you because we recognize your strength and respect you." Sung replied, "I see it as a deal, not a gift." Michael replied, "Regarding the offer, we guarantee you will always have priority. You will get the best contracts. You will be able to choose any guild you want. You will have complete freedom if you choose America." Norma spoke and told him, "There is no need to rush. Today, we did not come here to talk about the deal. Today, you will undergo the first stage of the second awakening, as we told you before. This is a gift, and this is how we will show you our goodwill." Michael asked him, "Do you agree to use her ability on you?" Sung replied, "Without any cost." He replied, "Yes, consider it just a service." Jinwoo agreed, as curiosity overcame him. Norma took his hand and asked him to look directly into her eyes. Michael smiled and thought to himself that Jinwoo had fallen into the trap because this ability turns into an addiction for anyone who desires power. Every hunter who goes through the first stage will ask to complete the remaining stages, no matter the cost, and then they will pressure him to sign any contract. Norma succeeded in activating her ability, and now she will be able to see the limits of his power. She moved to a vast, dark place. This place represents his limits, and here was the shock: there was no end. Then a shadow resembling a human appeared. It approached her little by little. The distance decreased, then she gave him a terrifying look, and he immediately withdrew and screamed loudly from the intensity of the fear. Immediately, the guards raised their weapons at Sung, thinking he was threatening Norma's safety. Michael ordered them to retreat and told them, "Don't you know who he is?" The guard tried to justify his actions, as he was worried about Norma. Michael reprimanded him and told him, "You are an idiot. Go and take care of her if you were worried about her." Then he bowed before Jinwoo and apologized for the guards' behavior. Jinwoo replied, "It's okay, but I don't understand what happened. Why was this woman so scared?" Michael told the guard, "If it were Thomas Andre, Jinwoo would have killed us all, you idiot." The guard sweated when he realized the gravity of the mistake they had made. Michael approached Norma and asked her, "What's wrong? You are sweating profusely. Are you sick?" Norma did not answer him, trembling as if she had seen a monster. Michael apologized to Sung and told him that the lady did not seem well and promised to call him when she recovered. Then he ordered Adam to escort the hunter home. Then he asked Norma, "Please tell me what happened." She replied in a terrified voice, "It's the King, and he is very powerful." This statement shocked Michael, as it meant that the assessment given to Sung was wrong. He should not be Rank S, but rather National Rank. Norma told him that she could not confirm this because he was different from any hunter she had met before. When she was inside him, she felt that he was also seeing what was inside her, and the most terrifying thing was that Hunter Sung Jinwoo had no limits, which made him qualified to be the strongest hunter in the world.

The scene shifts to the Korean Hunter Association headquarters. The Chairman was sad, feeling sorry for the death of Hunter Byungho because he was a kind, humble, and hardworking person. At that moment, his phone rang. The caller informed him that a new Rank Gate had appeared in the middle of the road, and because of it, cars had stopped, causing a traffic jam. The Chairman realized that this gate could not be handled by an ordinary team, so he decided to contact a major guild. But what caught his attention was the location of the gate's appearance, very close to Hunter Jinwoo's office.

The scene shifts to Sung, who was in his car heading home, thinking about what happened to Norma. He was sure that she had seen something unexpected, which led to her panic, but he didn't know what exactly she had seen. He was certain that what she saw was terrifying and she might not agree to meet him again. Sung was stuck in traffic and didn't know the reason. Then his phone rang. The Chairman called him, of course, about the new gate that had appeared, and asked him to handle it if possible. Sung asked him, "Don't I need a license first?" The Chairman replied, "I called you personally, and you're asking me about a license?" Sung laughed and thanked him for that. The gate was surrounded by a barrier, and people were prevented from approaching it. At this moment, Jinwoo arrived. Everyone now knew him and felt relieved upon seeing him. However, the gate supervisor did not allow him to enter without a license, even though he was of Rank S. There are rules they must adhere to. Sung felt that trying to convince this employee would only be a waste of time, so he called the Chairman directly to resolve this issue. The employee asked who was on the phone. Sung told him he was someone you couldn't ignore. Indeed, the Chairman reprimanded the employee and ordered him to allow Sung to enter. And here is Jinwoo entering the gate alone. The employee felt angry and wished that Sung would stumble or break his leg. Suddenly, the guards screamed. The gate's color changed and turned red. The employee felt worried and thought his wish had come true. Jinwoo, inside, felt as if he had fallen into a trap because he had moved to a different place, which meant it was a red gate, and he would not be able to leave until he defeated the gate's boss. He remembered his last conversation with his mother. She did not object to his work as a hunter and said that he had become like his father. She said that his father was a firefighter, and she loved him when she saw him saving others, so she did not want to stop Sung, and only asked him to be careful. These words made Jinwoo feel relieved because his mother supported him, and this eased the pressure on him. He took out all his shadows and decided to clear this gate in one day. The battle began. Jinwoo's shadows clashed with magical monsters. Explosions were everywhere. Sung stood proudly, watching them without intervening, as this fight seemed easy and his shadows alone were enough. He realized that the hunter's enemy is not the monsters, but his first enemy is arrogance. If the hunter lets his guard down, he will literally become prey. The shadows swept through the monsters, yet Sung maintained the utmost caution until the end, because at any moment the situation could change, as happened to Beru, who was the strongest ant but suddenly became an obedient servant. Therefore, Sung did not know what might happen to him if he underestimated his opponents and decided that from now on, he would take any mission very seriously, even if it seemed easy. He would not hesitate to use his full strength.

The scene shifts to a mysterious place where a giant gate appeared. One of the hunters there looked exhausted, panting from exertion, and asked the being in front of him, "What exactly are you?" It was the same person who appeared in the last episode of the second season, named Caelad, the Ice King. He came to America looking for the other kings. Here, another person appeared, emerging from the same gate, named Hyogumont, the Demon King. He carried important information for Caelad. He told him about the appearance of the Shadow King in Korea. "Didn't you say you would take care of that side?" Hyogumont replied, "I will not go east because something more important will happen in the south, and I must go there." But Caelad wanted to deal with the Shadow King first. Hyogumont told him that the Engineer was currently controlling the situation and there were no problems. He said he still had another piece of news more important than all of the above. He told him that in Korea, there is a shard of shining light. Caelad's features changed, as this news indeed caught his attention. Hyogumont asked him, "What will we do about it?" Caelad replied, "If you cede it to me, I will take care of it. But first of all, our coming here was in vain. I think someone deliberately brought us to this place." At that moment, Harasong, Jinwoo's father, appeared. He heard the entire conversation and realized that Korea had become their target, and they would certainly not be allowed to leave here alive. The Ice King challenged him, "Stop them if you can." Hwan attacked immediately, but Caelad stopped him with his ability, laughing as if mocking his weakness. Hwan did not accept defeat in this way, then a huge explosion occurred.

We return to the red gate where Sung Jinwoo, the gate's boss, surrounded by his followers, came looking for the killer of his soldiers. He was surprised when he found the intruder to be just a small dwarf. He couldn't believe that this was the one who committed this massacre. In an angry voice, he ordered his guards to appear, but none appeared, so he felt confused. Jinwoo's shadow appeared and told him, "You have a pathetic voice." Then he paused for a moment and said, "Execute." His shadows emerged and killed all the hidden guards. The demon boss couldn't comprehend what had happened here. Suddenly, someone threw something at him. It was the head of one of his followers. The perpetrator was Beru, as if telling the monster that this would be the fate of anyone who disrespected the king. Jinwoo couldn't hide his smile when he saw the boss. He was very angry, but Jinwoo didn't give him a chance to speak. He ordered his army to finish what they had started. Beru the ant led the attack. The guards did not stand idly by; they also fought to defend their leader. Two of them managed to reach Jinwoo, then Tanka appeared to get rid of them. "The king will not move from his place today." The monster boss saw his army falling and was forced to participate. Jinwoo thought about dealing with him himself, but Beru and Ice had other ideas. They cut off his right hand and left leg in a joint attack. The boss fell to the ground, bleeding from his wounds, screaming in pain. Tanka used the skill that enabled him to increase his size, then used the gravity skill and crushed the boss into the ground. Jinwoo approached him, stood in front of him, and said, "Answer my questions. The more you answer, the less the pain." The boss died, and Jinwoo did not get any information. He realized that the system had intervened again to prevent its leakage, but he was not worried and said that he would know everything with time. He opened his safe and took out the key he had obtained in the Demon King's castle when he defeated their king. At that time, no information appeared about it, but now his level had surpassed it, so he decided to check it again. Indeed, information appeared about it. This key only works on a specific gate, and it will appear after 417 hours. This gate will lead him to the same temple he entered at the beginning of the anime. Jinwoo said that he tried to forget that place, tried to forget what happened there, but he couldn't. And now it is calling him again, but this time it will not be the same, as he has become a different person and intends to retaliate. The statue felt the aura emanating from Sung Jinwoo, and it was also excited to meet him.

The events shift to Jinah's office. She was responding to all the critics who were insulting Sung Jinwoo because she considered him her older brother and would not allow anyone to insult him. Suddenly, Jinwoo appeared beside her. He told her, "You're working hard." He asked, "Is there a problem?" Jinah didn't feel his arrival and said, "Everything is fine, and everything is going well." Then he gave her a bag full of magic diamonds and asked, "Is this enough to establish our guild?" Jinwoo was stunned by this large quantity and told her, "We won't have to worry about salaries anymore." Jinwoo forgot about the employees. Jinah said that they need one more person to meet the condition, as the rules state that the minimum number of people to establish a guild is three, so they need to find a serious person because he will stay with them forever. And there is something more important than the third member. Jinwoo was surprised and asked, "What do we need?" Eugene told him seriously, "Have you thought about the guild's name?" Jinwoo replied sarcastically, "Man, I thought you were going to mention something important." Eugene told him that the name is important and sensitive and should not be arbitrary, as all guilds have names that symbolize certain things. He started thinking of a resonant name. Jinwoo suggested naming it "Solo Play." Eugene was shocked upon hearing the name. Sung said that their guild relies on solo hunting, and this name suits it. "Is Sung serious, or is he trying to make a joke? This name is suitable for a guild in a game, not in reality." At that moment, they heard a knock on the door. Eugene went to see who was knocking and was shocked when he saw the visitor. It was the beautiful Cha Hae-in. Anyone who followed Solo Leveling knows that Jinwoo asked her, "What are you doing here, Hunter Cha?" She replied in a flustered voice, "I want to join your guild." Jinwoo allowed her to enter, offered her a drink, then asked her to clarify her words because he didn't understand why a hunter of her fame would leave a giant guild and join an unknown guild. She replied, "Didn't you understand my words? I want to join your guild." Jinwoo couldn't believe it, thinking it was a prank, and asked, "Did the Association President ask you to do this?" She denied it, then asked, "Is it possible that you were kicked out of your guild?" She said, "No." So he decided to ask her directly without beating around the bush, "Why do you want to join the Solo Play guild?" She was shocked when she heard the name, as it wasn't a professional name. He told her that this name has become official and that he and the Vice President agreed on it. Eugene intervened, "Hey, we didn't agree on anything." Jinwoo replied, "You didn't object then, so I thought your silence was agreement." He felt embarrassed but decided to focus on Hunter Cha to understand her intentions, as her coming like this was not ordinary. She tried to act calm, but Jinwoo knew she was nervous, and it showed, making her more agitated. Then he asked her, "What about your contract? Hasn't it ended yet?" She told him that she had enough money to pay the termination clause. Jinwoo didn't understand what she wanted. What exactly did this woman want? She was willing to lose money and fame just to join them. He told her, "Our guild doesn't have the resources to compensate you, and we can't pay the same salary." She replied, "I don't care." He asked her, "Why are you doing all this to join us? There's no benefit with us." She was about to tell him the truth but hesitated and said that he wouldn't believe her and would call her crazy. Everything started that day when Jinwoo stood next to her. His scent was beautiful, unlike all the hunters who smelled of death. From that day on, she couldn't get him out of her head. At first, she tried to gather information about him out of curiosity, and day by day, meeting after meeting, her attraction to him increased. When she was on the verge of death against the ant Beru, she wished she had another chance to confess her feelings to Jinwoo. She thought she would die, but she survived, and the director told her that Sung Jinwoo was the one who saved her, which increased her admiration for him. She said that her last wish would be to die next to Jinwoo. This is what she wanted to say. This is why she wanted to join his guild, but when she stood in front of him, she didn't dare to say it. She felt great embarrassment, her face turned red. Jinwoo understood from her reaction that she was hiding something from him. Hunter Cha refused to talk, barely maintaining her composure. He asked her again, "Aren't you going to answer me?" She told him, "I want to find peace. I want to live comfortably." Eugene felt sorry for her and told Jinwoo, "Our guild must be tiring them. Imagine how much she suffered to get out of it." Jinwoo, after thinking about it, believed her. Being a Rank S hunter is a heavy burden. But he refused to accept her directly and said that there was a test she had to pass first and succeed in it to be accepted. She said she hadn't read anything about the test in the announcement. He told her that it was the Vice President's mistake and then sent him to bring some snacks and drinks to honor their guest before she left. But she agreed to undergo the test, which was contrary to what Jinwoo expected. He replied, "Defeat one of my monsters." She was displeased with his words and said, "Do you see me as that weak, Hunter Sung Jinwoo?" But she agreed and asked him, "Which creature will you summon?" Jinwoo became excited and said, "For you, Hunter Cha, I will summon the strongest." Hae-in felt a little pressure but did not back down. She was willing to do anything to be by his side. The training hall is far from here. Jinwoo thought this was a suitable opportunity to see if he could transfer more than one person through shadows and asked Hunter Cha to wait. He told her that he knew another way to get there quickly. He approached her and hugged her, then activated the shadow exchange technique, pulling Hae-in and Jinwoo inside together. At that moment, Eugene entered with snacks in his hand, only to be shocked to see an Orc soldier in front of him. The latter quickly snatched the plate and ate it.

The scene shifts to the training hall. Jinwoo arrived safely. Hunter Cha couldn't believe what had happened. In seconds, they arrived here. Jinwoo didn't say a word and confirmed that the exchange technique was not just changing places with his shadows, but literally opening a portal that could transport him from one place to another. The proof of this was that he was able to transfer another person with him, but he needed three hours of rest after each transfer. The important thing was not to waste time here, and he told her, "Let's begin." She remembered that she had forgotten to bring her weapon. He asked her, "Do you mean the digging tool?" She felt embarrassed when he understood his intention and said, "No, that's not my weapon." He told her, "I was just joking." Then she decided to check the weapon storage here, hoping to find something suitable. She used her card to open the door, and indeed, the storage was full of weapons, but most of these weapons did not suit her fighting style. She took a sword and told him she was ready. He asked her, "Are you sure? This is not your usual weapon." She replied, "That doesn't matter. It is the hunter's duty to adapt to any circumstance." Jinwoo decided not to underestimate her and summoned Igris. He told her that this was the strongest swordsman among his soldiers. She asked him, "How will the winner be determined?" He replied, "Either you destroy him and win, or you declare surrender and lose." He thought to himself, "I promised her I would summon the strongest shadow, but I'm afraid she'll be shocked if she sees Beru." Hunter Cha prepared for the confrontation. A powerful aura emanated from her, so he had an idea to increase the difficulty of the confrontation. He asked her to turn around for a moment and took out the Demon King's sword from his storage, his strongest sword, for Igris to use. Then he told her that everything was ready and gave them the signal to start the fight. Igris raised the sword and was the first to attack. He swung the sword and unleashed a lightning storm towards her, destroying the floor, but Hae-in easily dodged it. Jinwoo admitted her speed and said that this attack was indeed powerful, and a mere scratch from it would be enough to kill a normal human. The hunter did not just defend but attacked him, and a powerful clash occurred between them.

Meanwhile, the President of the Hunter Association appeared in his office, located on the top floor of the building. Then suddenly he felt a strong energy nearby. He looked out the window and realized that the energy was coming from the training hall, but he didn't know who was there because there were no reservations today. So he called the surveillance room and asked them to broadcast to his room. He saw Jinwoo and Hunter Cha. He didn't expect them to be friends. He remembered when Hae-in woke up after the Jeju raid, the first thing she asked about was Jinwoo. Did he come? He smiled and said, "How did I not realize that then?" Then he called the assistant and asked him to turn off all the cameras in the training hall. This way, he was showing respect to Jinwoo and respecting his privacy. Then suddenly the office shook, as these were side effects of the battle in the training hall. Jinwoo appeared, shocked. Igris, his second strongest soldier, had defeated Hunter Cha. He asked her, "Is the Black Knight really your strongest soldier? I don't think so. Please summon your strongest." Jinwoo replied seriously, "You might get hurt." She told him, "It's okay, because I want to fight him again." Jinwoo was shocked by this statement. She knew that Beru had become her king. He asked her, "How did you know?" She told him that she had seen everything in the recorded footage from Jeju Island. He agreed and called his name to appear. The hunter's body felt weak, but she did not lose her focus. An aura emanated from him, completely different from Igris. Jinwoo asked her for the last time, "Are you sure about your decision?" Then he told Beru, "Defeat her, but don't hurt her." He replied, "Yes, my lord." As usual, before any fight began, Beru let out a powerful roar to assert his superiority and literally terrify his opponent. The hall shattered, and darkness enveloped it. Hunter Cha was stunned by his power and even more by Jinwoo, because he was able to defeat this creature alone. Beru took out his claws. Jinwoo ordered him to hide them and reminded him of his first order, saying, "If you hurt her, I will hold you accountable." He immediately hid them and said, "As you wish, my lord." Cha noticed that he was not paying attention and decided to take the opportunity to attack. But before she could even move, the monster was behind her. She felt that what happened last time would happen again, so she attacked quickly before he could hit her. Beru easily stopped the sword. He was thinking about how to defeat her without hurting her, and he came up with an idea: he would show her the vast difference between them so that she would lose the desire to fight. She tried to stab him with the sword, but Beru simply dodved her attacks. She tried to hit him in various places, but to no avail, and Beru seemed to be enjoying playing with her, while she was shocked by what was happening. Beru had not moved from his spot yet. He looked directly at her. Cha literally smelled death emanating from him. Beru opened his mouth and let out a terrifying roar that pushed her back. Jinwoo approached and asked her, "Does this satisfy you?" For him, the battle was decided, but she was still determined to fight and did not want to surrender. Jinwoo didn't understand the reason for this insistence. He knew she understood the difference in power between them, so why didn't she just surrender? Beru was special and not like other shadows. He had great intelligence and a terrifying instinct that made him the best killing weapon, and now he was barely restraining his urge to kill Cha, fearing she would act recklessly. Beru felt that Cha was thinking of defeating him and did not accept this insult. He told her, "You dare..." and before he could finish the sentence, he attacked her, extending his claws, forgetting his master's warning. But she managed to dodge him and retreated. Beru's anger grew; he didn't like appearing weak in front of his kings. Hae-in decided to use her strongest skill and attacked him, targeting his head. Beru simply stopped the sword with his hand and broke it. Despite this, Cha still had a chance. She used her magical energy and reshaped the sword, succeeding in stabbing him. Jinwoo was shocked, not out of fear for his shadow, but out of fear for her, because Beru, if he felt threatened, would immediately switch to annihilation mode and kill the source of the threat without any hesitation. A terrifying destructive aura emanated from him, and he prepared to crush her. Jinwoo ordered him to stop, but Beru did not obey the order and was literally about to decapitate her, but at the last moment, Jinwoo intervened and stopped him himself. For the second time, Hunter Cha escaped certain death. Jinwoo told him, "Didn't I order you to stop?" Beru realized he had made a big mistake. He immediately retreated from there, bowed before him, and began to beg for mercy. He apologized for his mistake, literally trembling with fear. Jinwoo understood that Beru's behavior was instinctive because he prioritized protecting his master over anything else, but ignoring orders was also a big mistake, so he was confused whether to punish him or not. Then he looked at Hae-in and asked her, "Why are you pushing yourself this far? There's no need to exaggerate just to join us. This is just a test to enter a guild we haven't even named yet. The matter is not worth risking your life for. Tell me, why are you doing all this?" Or are you going to refrain from answering again? "Are you interested?" Hae-in continued to look down without saying anything. Jinwoo couldn't understand what she was thinking and lost hope of getting an answer. Suddenly, Cha spoke and said, "Yes, I think so." She said these words with her cheeks flushed.

The scene shifts to the American Hunter Association office. Norma and Michael apologized for their failure to persuade Hunter Sung Jinwoo. The person in front of them is David, the Director. He asked them to explain what happened in Korea. Michael said, "According to Miss Norma's observation, Hunter Sung Jinwoo is one of the Kings." This news shocked David and he asked, "Do you mean he is of International Rank?" Norma told him that Sung Jinwoo's situation is complicated. Usually, Awakened get their power from a place called the "other side," and the amount of this power varies from person to person and appears as a shining light within them. These are called Kings. But for Jinwoo, she found only darkness inside, meaning he is the Shadow Lord himself, not just someone who draws power from that side. David asked her, "Do you mean that evil controls that hunter?" She replied with emotion, "I am not discussing with you whether he is good or evil. I am talking about the source of his power. Hunter Sung Jinwoo does not get his power from anyone. The source of that power is within him." Michael added, "Meaning he has no limits." Norma confirmed this. David thanked her for the explanation and left the office. Michael asked him, "Where are you going, Director?" He replied, "I am heading to the 24th floor. Follow me." The man walked towards the elevator. They entered, and the elevator moved downwards. The Director was frustrated because they had not succeeded in bringing Jinwoo, but he did not intend to give up. He would try to tempt him in every possible way. Then he asked him, "Do you remember the first Rank S gate that appeared here?" Michael replied, "Yes, it destroyed the western part of the country. How could I forget? We gathered the strongest hunters then and spent huge sums to recruit them, and only five survived. That was the first time the International Classification appeared. Those five received the International Rank because they succeeded in defeating the dragon Kamish, who killed a large number of strong hunters." They entered a long corridor. The Director told him, "Do you know that monster left a gift behind?" He opened the door and they entered. Michael was stunned when he saw what was inside. This magical artifact was taken from the corpse of the dragon Kamish. Eight years have passed, and no one has appeared who can withstand its power and use it as a weapon. So it is kept here until the person capable of carrying it appears. They also keep the dragon's skeleton there.

The scene shifts to Korea. Jinwoo took a shower and stood in front of the mirror, saying to himself, "I've gotten taller since waking up, but I don't think I'm handsome." He looked at his face intently and said, "I'm just ordinary, nothing special." Then he came out of the bathroom and asked his sister for her opinion of him. She didn't understand his intention, so he asked her, "How do I look to you as a man? Am I handsome?" She replied, "Where do you get this confidence? You look like a trivial person." He thanked her in his own way. He tried to kick her away and told her, "My body is Rank S, you idiot. You'll break your leg." Then he told her that he would establish his own guild. She replied, "Astonishing! They will call you President now." He answered, "Yes, everything will go as I want." He asked her for her opinion on the name "Solo Play." She mocked the name and told him, "You fight with your soldiers, so you are not alone." Indeed, Jinwoo was convinced by her words and started thinking of another name. She suggested the name "A-jin," meaning "I advance forward," and told him that this name resembles her name but written backward. She asked him, "What do you think?" He said it was an acceptable name.

The scene shifts to Hae-in's house. As usual, she couldn't sleep thinking about Jinwoo. She was thinking about what she said in the training hall, thinking that Jinwoo would think she was crazy. Then she said that he saved her life, so it's normal to feel this way towards him. Then she immediately retracted her words and said that this was not an excuse and that if it weren't for Byungho's healing ability, she wouldn't have survived. At that moment, she remembered an incident that seemed like a dream. When she was unconscious, she saw herself in a dark place. Suddenly, a shadow grabbed her and pulled her towards it. It was the shadow of Hunter Byungho, and he asked her to tell Jinwoo to be careful. As soon as she remembered that, she felt fear and confusion. She didn't understand what Byungho meant and what she should be careful of.

The scene shifts to the Knights Guild headquarters. They received new news about the appearance of a strong gate, slightly higher than Rank A, but not as dangerous as a Rank S gate, so they would handle closing it. Jonksu was worried that if they weren't careful, the collector might get inside. He told Hyunti, "A negative rumor will spread about our guild if we refuse the mission." Jonksu said that people think gates of the same rank mean they are of the same level, and this is wrong. He refused the mission. Hyunti said, "If we refuse it, another guild will take it and reap the fame at our expense." So he changed his mind upon hearing that. But he admitted that their guild needed a Rank S hunter. This is the only difference that puts them behind other well-known guilds. So Yurem suggested cooperating with another guild. She said that the cost would indeed be high, so it would be enough to include at least one hunter. Jonksu said that this gate is difficult, and one hunter will not be enough to fill the gap. He understood her intention and asked her, "Do you mean Hunter Sung Jinwoo?" She said, "Yes." Jonksu liked the idea, especially since Jinwoo is a famous person, and their fame will increase if they cooperate with him. He is also a strong person, which will increase everyone's chances of survival. He asked them to try to find him to contact him. Hyunti suggested calling him. Jonksu said that calling him by phone would be disrespectful and preferred to visit him.

At this time, Jinwoo appeared in the office. He presented Eugene with the name his sister suggested. Eugene liked the name and they agreed on it. To himself, he said that any name would be better than "Solo Play." Then he asked him, "What happened yesterday with Hunter Cha?" Jinwoo said she was not suitable and asked him to look for someone else. Eugene did not expect this answer. Hae-in has all the qualifications any guild would desire, yet Jinwoo rejected her, which confused him. He didn't know what to look for exactly. Jinwoo replied, "I want someone who has a hunter's license, is trustworthy, and most importantly, is not interested in hunting or going on raids." Eugene started thinking, and the door knocked. Jinwoo opened the door, hoping it was Cha again, but found employees from the Knights Guild in front of him. It was clear they were forced to smile, and Jinwoo wondered to himself, "What brought these people here?" Jinwoo allowed them to enter. Jonksu introduced himself and immediately showed Jinwoo a video of the new gate that appeared in Busan. It was a huge gate emitting immense magical energy, yet it was not classified as a Rank S gate. This was the largest Rank A gate to appear in Korea. He told him that the Hunter Association would deny them entry because they don't have Rank S hunters, which is why they want him to join them in this raid. In return, he will receive a huge reward, larger than usual. He told him that usually Rank S hunters get 10% of the profits, but they will give him 20%. Jinwoo said he wanted half the profits. Jonksu was shocked by this number because it was excessive. He told him that Jinwoo would agree as a guild, not as an individual. Jonksu tried to negotiate and offered 40%, but Jinwoo refused. Either half or he wouldn't participate. Jonksu reluctantly agreed, but on the condition that Jinwoo would handle the strong monsters and the boss. He accepted the offer. Jonksu told him that the gate opened a week ago, so they had to go today and prepare to enter it tomorrow. Jinwoo told them to meet there because he had an important appointment today and couldn't go with them. Hyunti noticed Jinwoo's shadow moving and told his friend, but he didn't believe him and asked him, "Did you drink alcohol or what?" At that moment, Jinwoo's phone rang. The number was unknown, so he apologized to them and left the room to see who was calling. It was his mother. She had bought a new phone and called him because she wanted to hear his voice and apologized if she interrupted his work. He told her he was free and happy that she called him. He also told her to meet tonight for dinner.

The next day, the hunters from the Knights Guild gathered in front of the gate. It opened on the city beach. All the hunters were strong and had excellent equipment, waiting only for Jinwoo's arrival to start the raid. Jonksu was worried about Sung Jinwoo's delay and regretted not bringing him with him yesterday. There were only five minutes left before the clearing began. As for Jinwoo, he was literally still at home. He went out and found the weather cloudy and wondered to himself if his sister had taken the umbrella or not. At that moment, it was time to move. He used the shadow exchange ability and arrived at the meeting place in the blink of an eye. He was also stunned by the immensity of this gate.

The scene shifts to Jinah's school. A group of students were heading to the art hall, upset because the teacher had sent them to fetch gypsum statues. They entered the hall, which was full of dust, as if abandoned. Suddenly, one of them saw something strange: a small gate opened inside the hall. One of the students stepped towards it fearlessly and told the others, "No need to worry. Nothing can come out of this gate. Only hunters can enter it, so the situation is safe." Indeed, they felt relieved upon hearing this. But suddenly, a crack appeared in the gate, a huge hand emerged and grabbed the student by the head. He tried to move away, tried to escape, but couldn't. He asked his friends for help, but it was too late.

His head literally lagged behind. He was crushed before them, then the beast emerged with its entire body from the gate. In a few moments, the room was filled with blood. The three students, three, were killed, and not one of them survived. These monsters belong to the Orc species. They have weak intelligence, but they are natural hunters and become more agitated if they smell blood. This squad's role was only reconnaissance, but when they realized the place was full of prey, they couldn't wait. They sent one of them with the news, while the rest decided to start hunting here. When the rest of the army arrives, they will invade the city. The hall door was shattered, and the monster came out. The corridor was full of students who were busy talking amongst themselves. Suddenly, they heard a commotion coming from the art hall. Before they realized what was happening, the monster was in front of them, holding an axe in its hand and planning to crush them all. Let's go back to Gino. He was analyzing the strength of the team with him. There were 20 B-rank hunters and 13 A-rank hunters, and he was impressed by this large number of hunters. Then someone called him from behind. When he turned, he found a group of hunters around him who could be considered fans, and they were all excited and relying on him today. Gino did not expect such a reception. Then Yerim intervened and asked them to leave Gino to his comfort. Then she introduced herself as the chief healer of the Knights Guild. After the team was complete, Jonksu decided to start explaining the plan. He told them that he would be the leader of this raid. The rest of the hunters did not like that and preferred Gino to be the leader. He told them that hunter Song Jin would secure them from behind. One of them spoke and said, "Are we this weak that we need someone to protect us?" He was a rookie, and his enthusiasm led him to say that. Jonksu apologized to Gino and told him that this atmosphere is usual for them and not to consider it rude. Gino understood and said, "This shows their self-confidence. It's fine with me." Jonksu looked at his phone. "It's time," he said, and they set off towards the gate. The scene shifts to the emergency center. Everything was normal until they received this call. One of the students reported the appearance of monsters in the connected school. It was a girl who hid in a bathroom covered in blood, crying and literally trembling with fear, because all her friends had died, and she had managed to escape at the last moment. The employee tried to calm her down and told her that hunters were coming to save her and asked her to hide until they arrived. This gave the student hope that she might survive and live. So she asked the employee to describe the monsters to her. She told her they were green, their bodies resembled humans, and they had ugly faces. But suddenly, one of the monsters appeared in front of the bathroom door. The employee, when she heard the description, realized they were Orcs and told the student to get out of there quickly because Orcs have a strong sense of smell. But it was too late. The monster found her and did what it did. The employee heard everything and felt shock and sadness because she couldn't do anything to help her. The students tried to escape, and indeed some of them succeeded in getting out safely, but most of them were killed, and many were still hiding inside the halls. The Orcs, "brothers," blocked the only stairs leading out and began their sweep. Here appears the upper level, a group of guards who were gathered in this hall. They hid and tried to block the door with tables, and they only had chairs and sticks to defend themselves. Suddenly, the door was shattered. All the students felt panic. The squad leader entered, his body covered in human blood, and his weapon dripping. One student tried to escape through the back door, but found another monster there. Before he could make any move, the axe was in front of his face, splitting his head in two. One of the Orcs noticed a student emitting magical energy, so the leader ordered him to kill her first. He meant by his words Jina, the sister of hunter Song Jin. She was hiding in the back, wishing Gino would appear to save her. The monster left everyone and targeted her first. Jina closed her eyes, ready to die, but nothing happened. When she opened her eyes, she found Gino's shadow in front of her. He stopped the monster at the last moment. Jina was happy and thought her brother had arrived. The shadow struck the monster with a powerful punch that literally broke through the ceiling. The squad leader was shocked by the shadow's strength. He was an Orc like them, but much stronger than them. Three shadows appeared. Gino had tasked them with protecting his sister in his absence. The scene shifts to the gate in Busan. Jonksu warned everyone of a monster coming towards them. It was a two-headed ogre, literally giant compared to their sizes, and it held an axe in its hand. The ogre attacked, swinging its giant axe. Jonksu prepared to counter, activating a strong shield to protect himself. The axe was coming towards him at full speed, and the collision happened. Literally, the ground beneath Jonksu shattered, but the shield held and gave the signal for Yuntae to move. The latter climbed the giant axe, gripped his sword tightly, and cut out the ogre's eye, which gave the rest of the hunters a chance to attack. The monster was unable to see, and they succeeded in hitting it easily. Magic also participated in the attack, as the Knights Guild relies on teamwork, and literally, the ogre was incinerated. Then they gathered again to reorganize their ranks, but Jonksu was really worried. This gate was stronger than he thought. These ogres are known by the nickname "grave keepers," which means this dungeon is full of zombies, and therefore killing them will not be easy. The hunters, as soon as they saw the zombies coming, felt fear and asked the leader if they should retreat. But suddenly, the zombies stopped in their tracks and began to retreat. The hunters didn't understand what was happening, because it's usual for monsters to attack as soon as they see humans. They didn't know that Gino was the reason, and the latter was upset because the gate was weaker than he expected. At this moment, he received a signal from his shadows present with his sister. They began to consume more energy than usual, which means some danger has appeared there. Without any hesitation, he told Jonksu that he had to go because there was an urgent matter he had to attend to. The latter did not agree and told him that if he left, they would be in danger. Gino replied, "I will summon someone you can trust. He will compensate for my absence and will take care of everything." Then suddenly, Biro appeared next to him. The leader and the rest of the hunters were shocked to see him, knowing he was the same ant that crushed everyone on Jeju Island. So Gino told them, "Since you know him, there's no need for explanation," and ordered Biro to protect the humans. Biro asked, "Is there any other order, sir?" Gino told him, "Do whatever you want, as long as you protect them." Biro was excited; he had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. The hunters, when they felt his strength, felt that they were just guests and would have no role in this raid. Gino summoned 20 other ants to help Biro with this mission. Jonksu was still uneasy. Yerim asked Gino, "Are you going to leave these monsters behind so easily?" He looked at her with angry eyes and said, "I can make them retreat immediately if you want." He literally terrified them, and they immediately backed down from their words. Gino tried to use the exchange technique, but he couldn't because his rest time was not over yet, and he set off at insane speed towards the exit, as there was no time to waste. Yuntae asked the leader, "What should we do now?" He replied, "For now, just stay put." Gino was worried, as the signals coming from his soldiers were constantly changing, meaning something dangerous was happening there. On his way, a group of zombies appeared. Gino was very angry; he didn't want to be delayed any longer. He drew his weapons and continued to advance, but suddenly they all bowed before him. Gino was surprised; he didn't expect this to happen and said, "Perhaps the reason is that I am stronger than the one controlling them." So he jumped over them and exited the gate. On the other side, a black dragon appeared. It was a majestic sight. Everyone there took out their phones to film it, knowing that person was hunter Song Jin. The dragon spread its giant wings, and Gino ordered it to head directly to his sister's location at maximum speed. Let's return to the school. The shadows began to kill the Orcs, and the students were shocked, unable to believe they had survived death. They thought the shadows were also enemies. The guard grabbed two monsters at the same time and stomped them into the ground. This literally was enough to kill them. The students were still unable to comprehend what was happening, not believing that these black monsters had saved them. Jina was still waiting for her brother to appear. She stepped forward to look for him, but the shadow stopped her and pulled her back, then pointed his finger towards the door, so she understood that it wasn't over yet, as there were still Orcs outside. The scene shifts to inside the gate. The rift, "brothers," reached the boss's room. The last restriction was lifted, and he was now able to go out into the human world. Here, the news of three Orcs helping humans arrived, but they were of a lower rank than them. This angered the boss because his squad failed to get rid of ordinary Orcs. He grabbed his weapon and decided to handle the matter himself. Let's return to the Busan gate. When the attack began, the hunters were terrified, wanting to retreat for fear of the ants. They thought they might turn on them at any moment. Jonksu had not yet made any decision, but he did not want to stop the raid, and at the same time, he was as afraid as his followers. In the end, he decided to continue, as the most important thing to him was the guild's reputation, and he didn't want people to say they were a guild of cowards. Suddenly, Biro appeared in front of him. He literally froze with fear, not knowing what to do. Then he told him, "Let's go." Biro didn't move from his spot. He didn't like the tone of the order, so he repeated it more politely, "Shall we go?" He disappeared in the blink of an eye. Before Jonksu could turn around, he returned again, threw something from his hand, and left again. The hunters gathered around the leader to reassure him and asked him, "Are we going to follow them?" He told them, "Yes." And when they looked down, they found the head of the zombie squad leader at their feet. He was the strongest among them, and Biro eliminated him in less than a second. Jonksu was excited, as these remains could fetch a huge fortune by selling them. Then he asked his followers who among them wanted to continue. He was surprised that everyone stepped forward, and he was the last. Let's return to the school. The shadow was struggling this time, as the opponent was the Orc leader. He was boasting about the number of tattoos on his body, as they symbolized the number of his victims. Gino's shadows regenerated, and the leader was enjoying cutting them. As for them, all they did was block his blade with their faces, trying to delay him as much as possible. No matter what the shadows did, they kept regenerating. The leader began to get annoyed by this and asked them, "Isn't there a limit to your regeneration?" But what truly annoyed him was a voice inside his head ordering him to kill humans, and these shadows were delaying him, making that voice stronger and hurting him inside his head. So he decided to get rid of the girl because she was the source of these shadows. He ordered his soldiers to attack them and would exploit their pause for regeneration to attack the girl. And indeed, the shadows were busy with the soldiers. The students felt the danger and retreated. At this moment, the leader managed to reach her. He grabbed her by the head and lifted her into the air. He told her, "You were lucky. Magical energy emanates from you." Then he squeezed her, trying to kill her. At this moment, Gino appeared, approaching. The leader felt his power and literally, out of extreme fear, let go of Jina unconsciously. Gino, "brothers," was coming at insane speed. His friend Jina tried to reassure her. As for the Orc leader, he was no longer interested in them, and all his focus was on the approaching thing. The closer it got, the more his fear increased, and he told his followers that something terrifying was coming and ordered them to prepare. At this moment, Gino arrived. Jina was coughing, dust filled the room. Suddenly, she felt a hand touch her head. It was her older brother, "Oppa." He told her, "Don't worry, not anymore." The leader froze in place, not daring to say a word. He was waiting for his turn without moving. Gino stood, emitting a deadly aura. The leader tried to introduce himself. Gino raised his hand and said, "You, shut your mouth, and wait. Your turn will come soon." Then he hugged his sister. The latter began to cry, so he apologized for being late and asked the rest, "Are you okay?" They replied, "Yes." Then he looked at his sister again and noticed the marks of a blow on her face. He immediately summoned Igaris and ordered him to take care of his sister, as he would deal with these Orcs himself. He ordered him to get everyone out of here first. One of the Orcs was thinking of attacking, so Gino gave him a look that literally killed him and said, "I ordered you not to move." Gino's shadows, with the help of the black dragon, began to get the students out of the school. The leader understood that this person in front of him was the master of these shadows, but he didn't understand how a human could speak their language. Gino was feeling intense anger, not uttering a word. The leader understood that the chance to speak was gone and ordered his followers to attack. They all moved at the same time. Gino grabbed the first one by the hand and stomped him into the ground, then raised his foot and crushed his head. As for the second and third, he used the control skill on them, slamming them into each other, then closed his fist, turning them into pieces. This increased the rage of the rest of the monsters. They attacked him. Gino also advanced, and suddenly each monster lost a part of its body. Everything happened at a terrifying speed. Gino literally crushed them with his bare hands, and only the leader remained. The latter asked him, "Who are you?" But before he could finish his question, Gino grabbed him by the mouth and pinned him to the wall. At this moment, he saw the corpses of the students in the corridor, all dead. So he asked the leader, "Why are you so eager to kill humans? What's the reason?" He replied, "There is a voice inside their heads ordering them to kill humans." So he asked, "What about me? Doesn't it tell you to kill me?" The monster begged him for mercy, but Gino wanted an answer to his question. As for the monster, he continued to beg for mercy, ignoring the question. Gino showed his weapon and understood that the monsters did not consider him human. The shadow literally surrounded his entire body, as if he were the king of shadows himself. He appeared and cut off the leader's head. Let's return to the Knights Guild. Yerim was arguing with an ant because it wanted to eat a corpse worth millions. The ant tried to push her away, and by mistake, it hit the hunter, and she bled from her shoulder. So Biro appeared immediately and apprehended the ant, telling it about the king's order. The ant showed signs of fear. Biro healed the hunter, and she thanked him, amazed that he was just a summon, yet better at healing than her. At this moment, they reached the leader's room. He was a black ghost with red eyes, and in the middle of his chest, a green light shone. He was called Lich, surrounded by his strongest soldiers. This leader was very famous in the human world because he had previously annihilated one of the largest Chinese guilds. Jonksu admitted that this monster was strong and his squad could not be harmed in any way. The soldiers surrounded them from the front and back, and all the monsters that the ants didn't eat came back to life. Jonksu ordered them to close the door. Yerim created a magical shield and told the leader that she wouldn't hold out for long, only five minutes at most. Jonksu admitted they were in trouble, and without hunter Gino, they wouldn't succeed in clearing the gate. At this moment, Biro appeared. He advanced towards them. Lich didn't understand why the shadow army was attacking them; they were supposed to be allies. So Biro laughed and replied, "The King himself chose us, but not you." Lich said, "This is impossible, and I will go to the King to ask him myself." So Biro moved in front of him at incredible speed and attacked him directly in the chest, saying, "You talk too much, and this doesn't suit someone who is about to die." Biro, as expected, dug his claws into Lich's body and violently extracted his core. The Lich, as soon as he saw it in his hands, realized his end had come. Biro, without hesitation, crushed it, and the Lich vanished, as did his knights, because they drew their strength from him. The members of the Knights Guild were stunned by what had happened, unable to believe that one blow was enough to eliminate Lich and his army. Biro once again let out his usual roar, announcing his victory. For the first time, Gino's shadows cleared a gate without needing his presence with them. Jonksu was literally stunned and admitted that he had misjudged his ally's strength. He didn't think at first that the ants possessed such overwhelming power. Yuntae said that Gino no longer needed to enter gates at all; his soldiers alone were enough to clear any gate. Jonksu at this moment remembered that these ants drew their strength from Gino, and he was sure that he controlled a large army of shadows, and the number they had was not even half. This made Gino alone stronger than any guild in Korea. Yuntae suggested that they merge their guild with Song Jin's guild to become one guild, and then they would benefit more from his strength. But Jonksu suggested cooperation instead of merging, and each guild would participate under its own name. This made Yuntae wonder why Gino would accept such an offer, as he was already strong and didn't need anyone's help. So Jonksu told him, "Even if he is strong, he cannot break the law." Yuntae didn't understand his meaning, so he told him, "Have you forgotten that there is a minimum requirement for an assault team, and therefore Gino needs to get external hunters to be allowed to enter gates?" Yuntae understood what he was implying: their guild would complement the required number, and inside, Gino would take care of everything. But Yuntae's conscience pricked him, as it seemed like they were exploiting him. So Jonksu told him, "We will support him and be a trustworthy team." The scene shifts to the school. Civilian support arrived and began to treat the injured. A woman appeared, running through the crowd in the rain, all she wanted was to make sure her son was safe, but unfortunately, the hunters had not survived. The hunters finished their sweep; no survivors remained inside the school. Literally, what happened here was a massacre, and the losses were devastating, especially since the victims were just young people no older than 18. Gino and the head of the Hunters Association appeared. He told him that the number of survivors was 223 students, including 10 injured. The president expressed his regret and said that what happened today could have been avoided. Statistics confirm the increase in the number of gates that have appeared in Seoul in the last six months, and this is not happening only here but all over the world. But in return, the number of hunters who have awakened has increased, so he feels that the balance is still maintained. As the number of monsters increases, the number of hunters increases. Gino, when he heard this, felt worried. If everything was balanced, could a monster of his strength appear? Then he asked him, "Why did you invite me? What is the matter you want to discuss with me?" The president took out a handful of papers and said, "Japan, America, China, Russia, France, Britain, Germany, and also the Middle East. These are official documents they received from those countries, and their purpose is to communicate with Gino and tell him that he is sure some of them have contacted him unofficially." He meant Adam, and he told him, "In fact, we do not have the right to prevent them from contacting you, and we must protect your information as you requested. The final decision is yours, but our country needs you, and we fear we will not be able to keep up with the old changes if you leave us." At this moment, they arrived at the hospital where Jina was. Before he left, the president had a final word. He told him, "Anything you ask for and we can provide, we will not spare you. So please, don't leave Korea." Gino did not utter a word. The president placed his hand on his head and lamented the country's situation. They had 10 S-rank hunters; two of them were killed, and the third chose America. So he doesn't want to lose any more hunters, and the association is ready to do everything possible to keep the B-rank hunters within the country. He told him, "Don't hesitate to ask for anything you want." Then Gino smiled and asked him, "If you are serious about what you say, will you allow me to enter gates alone?" The president did not expect this request and said, "The purpose of the minimum requirement law is to protect hunters. Why do you want to abolish something that is for your benefit?" Then he remembered the request he received regarding the establishment of a new guild and asked him, "Are you the owner of that request?" He replied, "Yes," and asked, "Will you allow me or not?" The president was hesitant at first, asking himself, "Can one man be as strong as a whole team?" But he agreed and told him, "Leave it to me. I will do what it takes to make that happen." The scene shifts to a photo studio. This girl's phone, Yerim, and the caller is Yujin. The girl is his cousin, and he invited her to join their guild. He told her, "We just need your name with us, and you can do whatever you want." But she was surprised by this request and told him, "What are you talking about? I just arrived in Korea. You know I'm here?" He said he considered her like a sister and followed her work schedule. He also said they were missing one member to be able to establish a guild. She scoffed at him and told him, "Are you asking me to join a guild that hasn't even been established yet?" He told her, "You won't believe who the other person is with us." She asked him, "And who might that be?" The scene shifts to the office. Gino came to meet the third person in the team, and from his reaction, it was clear he knew her before. She is a famous social media personality. So Yujin said she is an A-rank hunter and also his cousin, which means understanding with her will be easy. She was also surprised to see Gino in front of her, thinking Yujin was just lying. She said she was happy to meet him. Gino asked her, "Are you sure about your decision? If you join us, all the newspapers will write about you, and their words might be negative." She said, "That's better than staying next to Gino Sung Jin." Gino didn't know who this person was. Yujin told him, "This is his older brother, the one with the bad reputation." But Sung Jin had a request. She wanted to take a picture with Gino to post on Instagram. The scene shifts to the main meeting room. They were discussing Gino's request to enter gates alone. This request was rejected. They refused to give hunter Gino any special treatment that distinguished him from other hunters and reprimanded the association for the facilities they were providing him, asking them to explain their position. The president did not deny it; he admitted that they were right and that they were indeed giving hunter Song Jin different treatment and distinguishing him from other hunters. He said, "Before I start explaining, I have a question for you. We have two teams: one consisting of hunter Song Jin alone, and the other consisting of 20 A-rank hunters. Which one would you choose to enter with to clear the gate of silence?" The room fell silent because the answer was obvious. Then he spoke in a serious tone and said, "All countries are eager to recruit hunter Gino. So how do you expect him to stay with us if we refuse to fulfill his simplest demands? If you think his request is unreasonable, no one will save you if a new S-rank gate appears." Meanwhile, Gino's picture with his new team became a trend. The hunter, Charara, literally trembled with jealousy, and her screams could be heard from the street. At this moment, Gino appeared, standing in front of a gate. Yujin will accompany him on this raid, and it's his first time seeing an A-rank gate. Gino said to himself, "If you had seen the gate in Busan, you would have fainted." Then he told him, "Let's go. This is the first official mission for our new guild." All the reporters wanted to get a statement from him, but Gino, as usual, dislikes fame and the spotlight. At this moment, Jin Chul from the Hunters Association appeared and asked Gino, "Aren't my information supposed to be protected, and no one knows where I am?" He told him, "We protect your information, but we cannot hide the location of the gate." Gino understood that the mistake was his because he allowed his picture to be published on Instagram. Yujin felt that they needed at least an excavation team to collect magic crystals, as he alone was not enough. So he told him, "My soldiers will help you." The director measured the strength of the soldiers, and most of them were equivalent to a B-rank hunter or higher. He said to himself, "All those who think they are getting special treatment are just fools." Then he took off his jacket. Gino was surprised. The director put on his equipment and told him that the president of the association personally ordered him to monitor him to ensure he could clear the gates alone. Gino did not object, and as soon as they entered the gate, Jin Chul's features changed literally. The shadows swept away all the monsters. They were supposed to be strong monsters, but in front of the shadow army, they appeared as nothing. Literally, for Biro, this mission was like a walk in the park; he was collecting heads with ease. The director was stunned by the strength of this army to the point of feeling fear, especially when he saw Igaris, who was shooting lightning from his sword with every attack. Literally, the director knew that lightning magic was only used by veteran mages. Here he understood that Gino had mastered everything: defense, offense, magic, summoning, excavation, literally everything. As for Igaris, with lightning speed, he eliminated five monsters at once. Jin Chul said that the strength of this summon exceeded that of an A-rank hunter, and he admitted that if he entered into a fight with him, he would lose. The ants were getting rid of the corpses, so Gino kicked one and told them, "I ordered you to eat them. Don't you know how much they cost?" Then he ordered them to start excavating. The director, after seeing all this, understood why the president insisted on giving Gino permits to do whatever he wanted, as he truly deserved it. At this moment, the gate boss appeared. Song Jin canceled the summoning of all attacking shadows, leaving only the workers. So the director asked him, "Why did you do that? I thought the shadows could handle him." Gino drew his weapon and said, "If I rely too much on the shadows, my senses will weaken," and he set off at high speed towards the monster. He climbed its giant body, targeting its head, and as expected, he defeated the boss with the first attack. The director had nothing to say. The monster's body fell, announcing the end of the battle. At this moment, Gino received a notification of his power level increasing. He was now level 101, and all his skills had improved. For example, to use the exchange technique with the shadow, he previously needed three hours of rest, but now only two hours were enough. Gino liked this and was excited to raise his level further to ensure he could reach his mother and sister at any time. The director noticed that the monster's skin was indeed thick and wondered to himself what weapon Gino used to cut this skin. And then he saw something he had never seen before. The moment the shadow was extracted, a black hand emerged from the corpse, meaning the operation was successful. Gino was happy about this and said that the strength of this shadow was at the same level as that of that giant Orc, but he was surprised when he saw its size. It was much smaller than its real size, and he named it Jima. Yujin was happy that everything went smoothly. The gate began to collapse, meaning it was time to leave, but he didn't want to leave the corpse behind, as it was worth a fortune. Outside the gate, all the reporters appeared, shocked. The first to emerge was the giant Task, carrying the gate boss's corpse on his back. Everyone started taking pictures, as it was rare for Gino's shadows to appear in public. As for Task, he was happy because he had become famous. After him came the director and the rest. Jin Chul was exhausted, as it would take him a lot of time to comprehend what had happened inside. The president received all the details, and when he heard the whole story, he understood why the director appeared tired. Such a raid doesn't happen every day. So Jin Chul said, "That wasn't a raid; it was a massacre." The president understood his meaning. He understood that the monsters had no chance against Gino, and he asked the director to go and get some rest. Then he stood by the window and thought about what he had heard earlier. He said that he had misjudged Gino. He was not a man with the strength of a team, but a man with the strength of an entire guild. He said, "This is what I expected when I first saw him. My eyes never deceived me." The scene shifts to Japan, the capital Tokyo. A giant gate appeared, emitting a dark red color. Everyone who saw it was stunned, as this gate was literally terrifying and its appearance was unusual. Gradually, its color turned black, as if it were swallowing the sky. It was nicknamed the "Savage Gate." In the main building, officials decided to summon all guilds for an immediate meeting, meaning the gate was indeed dangerous and could cause a global catastrophe. At this moment, members of the "Poisoned Sword Guild" arrived. Previously, it was the strongest guild in the country, but they lost seven S-rank hunters on Jeju Island, which was a devastating blow. This made other guilds think of exploiting this crisis to surpass them, but nevertheless, they did not lose their prestige, and no one dared to challenge them directly. The meeting began. The government reprimanded the Hunters Association for not taking action until this moment, as the gate that appeared in Tokyo could break at any moment. Their response was that this was an S-rank gate, and therefore they needed an international-rank hunter to help them. As for S-rank hunters alone, they were not enough for this mission. They were told that what happened on Jeju Island would also happen at this gate if they underestimated it. They suggested requesting help from international hunter Thomas Andre. The Minister of Finance rejected this proposal because the country was already suffering economically due to hiring mercenaries and did not have the resources to bear the cost of a hunter like Thomas. He told them that the only solution was to request help without compensation. The head of the Poisoned Sword Guild spoke and told them about a hunter who could help for a reasonable price, named Yuri Orlov, a specialist in creating barriers. The scene shifts to Korea. Gino appears in the car, heading towards the office, happy with the new level he reached in the last raid and wondering to himself what he would get when he reached level 102. He parked the car and got out. He noticed someone watching him. It was hunter Cha. She pretended not to see him, so Gino moved directly in front of her and asked her, "Why are you running away?" She became flustered and didn't know what to say. Then she said she came to get her car. It had been parked there since her last visit to the office. Gino remembered that he had used shadow exchange that day, so he believed her. Then she asked him to take a few minutes of his time because she had something important to tell him. She wanted to ask him about his relationship with Soyeon, whether they were friends or something more, but she couldn't. She said she had an important message from hunter Byung regarding your power. Gino was interested in knowing the content of the message and invited her to talk in the office, so she agreed and they went up. The office was empty, just the two of them. Gino prepared a cup of coffee for her while she was embarrassed because she was alone with him. He asked her, "Tell me, how did hunter Byung leave that message?" She told him what happened that day on Jeju Island and about the dream she had when she lost consciousness. Hunter appeared in the form of a shadow and asked her to warn Gino about his power and that it might be dangerous for him. He told her, "Even though I have lost my human form, I still retain all my memories and consciousness, but what has changed is my feeling towards Gino. I feel that the reason for my existence is to serve him, and strangely, I am happy to serve him." So he asked her, "What does this mean?" He said, "This means that his full power is terrifying, and he must know this before he loses control of it." He was about to tell her an important truth about his army, but this was all he remembered. The scene shifts directly inside one of the gates. Jinmo appears in his usual routine, clearing it, thinking about hunter Cha's words. Because of her, he changed his objective; he became more interested in knowing the nature of his power rather than raising his level. Yujin remembered her first mission with Gino and said that being alone reminded him of that day. He replied, "Don't talk with your mouth full." Yujin asked him, "Why don't you let the shadows take care of everything while we use the time to do more important things?" He told him that this was not possible and that he had to monitor the soldiers because most of them were fools. To himself, he said, "If I move further away, I gain fewer experience points." Yujin asked him, "How is your sister? She went through a terrible experience." He said she needed some time to rest and also left her company to a trusted guard, so he was no longer worried about her. However, he decided to check on them anyway. He used the sense-sharing skill with his shadows to see through them. An ancient minister appeared before him, and he was surprised. It turned out that Biro was watching a series from the imperial era and learning phrases of loyalty to the king from them. As for his sister, she was sleeping, and Biro was literally standing over her, not leaving her side. Here Gino understood why Biro acted strangely when he summoned him. As for his mother, she was at the market buying what she needed and also placed a spy to monitor the other guilds. Then the scene shifted to a bathroom, and suddenly hunter Cha appeared. Gino, "brothers," revealed himself. He is also a pervert. His cheeks turned red, convincing us it was his first time. At this moment, Yujin told him about the gate that appeared in Japan and that they were asking for help from strong hunters. He asked him, "Did they contact you?" The response was the opposite of what was expected. Gino refused, saying he had more important things to attend to. He showed the key that would return him to the gate where it all began. There were still 27 hours left until its appearance. He was excited to know what awaited him there, but the system still didn't tell him anything. So he moved to complete the current mission and said to himself, "If the system refuses to tell me, that's fine. I will find out everything myself." The scene shifts to Russia. In this luxurious building, hunter Yuri Orlov, an S-rank, the world's strongest barrier maker, appears. Here, members of the Poisoned Sword Guild appear. They came to ask for his help to control the gate that appeared in Tokyo. They told him that the country would send six S-rank hunters on this mission. Yuri scoffed and said that this number was small. He said they should keep some as a backup in case another gate appears. He told them that their situation was dire and their country was threatened with destruction due to the lack of S-rank hunters, meaning they were at the mercy of fate. So he asked for a large sum: 6 billion dollars a year, or 10 million dollars a day. He told them, "I will contain the gate for the period you pay for." The guild leader refused, saying that this price was excessive. He replied, "If you pay me 3.6 billion, you will guarantee your country's security for a year, and this amount is negligible compared to what Thomas Andre might ask for." The hunters in the back did not understand Russian, but from his way of speaking, they felt he was insulting them. Yuri asked him, "Will you save your country, or will you abandon it to save money? But let me clarify something important: if you refuse my offer now, I will not accept it if you come back again, even if you beg me, even if you lick my shoes, it will be of no use." The president felt pressured, not knowing if Yuri had the skills worth this price or not. So Yuri told him, "Hiring me alone is better than hiring 100 people like those behind you." The two hunters correctly did not understand what he was saying, but they felt that his last words were an insult to them and they were about to attack him, but suddenly a barrier appeared around them, paralyzing their movements, and he told them, "From now on, you will not be able to move a single muscle without my permission. And if you don't believe me, try to move." Knowing that they were S-rank hunters, but in front of the barrier king, they were helpless. Yuri spoke to the leader and told him, "I have a new offer for you. I will contain the gate and forgive them in exchange for the same price. So you know I am a generous person." The president, after seeing the strength of his barrier, accepted the offer, but he still had to consult his country to get final approval. So he asked him to give him a chance to make a quick call. The scene shifts to Korea. Gino is preparing to leave and tells his mother, "I'll be back soon." But she felt he was hiding something from her. Nevertheless, she didn't want to pressure him and asked, "Son, I shouldn't worry about you, right?" Gino hesitated for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Yes, Mom, everything is fine, and I won't break my promise. I'll be back soon." Six seconds remained until the expected gate appeared. Gino opened the safe and took out the key, and indeed, the name of the place was revealed. The gate appeared at Jina's school. Fortunately, it was still closed due to the recent tragedy, so this place was considered safe. Jinmo arrived. The employee stopped him from approaching, thinking he was a civilian. So he revealed his face, and she recognized him immediately. She asked him how long it had been since the gate appeared. He told her three days. Gino was angry because the system had deceived him. He thought the gate would appear after the time was up, but in reality, the time was to reveal the location, not the appearance time. So he asked the employee if there were any hunters inside. She said yes, and they entered two hours ago. He told her, "This mission must be canceled immediately." The employee was surprised by his words because it was a C-rank gate, a weak gate. He told her, "If they don't get out now, they will all die." The employee was surprised by this statement. Gino entered and said, "I will get them out myself." Inside, corpses of monsters appeared. The team stood in front of a closed room. They tried to open it but couldn't, but they were determined to enter. They thought a treasure awaited them behind this door. At this moment, Gino arrived and told them it was a trap. They all trembled, thinking a monster had sneaked up behind them, and asked him, "Who are you?" He told them he was the sole survivor of the double dungeon. They didn't know who he was, except one who asked him, "Aren't you hunter Song Jin?" He told them, "This place is extremely dangerous. I will handle it. Please leave." Then he approached the entrance and tried to pull the door, but it didn't move. He noticed a hole above the handle. Here he realized that the key's purpose was to open the door, and indeed, it worked. The hunters were surprised; they didn't know how he did it, as they had tried to open the door in every way and failed. At this moment, the team leader stepped forward and told him, "You have no right to order us to leave. We bought the rights to this mission. Even if you are a hunter, we have the right to enter." Gino thought about his words for a moment and said, "I won't stop you. If anyone wants to enter, they are welcome." So the leader moved first and entered. The system did not allow anyone to enter except the key holder. So one of the statues immediately attacked him, and if Gino hadn't intervened in time, that hunter would have been crushed. The statue looked at them with wild eyes as if warning them. Gino told the leader, "All the monsters inside are like this. Do you still want to enter?" The answer is obvious. So he asked them to leave and not let anyone stay here, and told them, "Deliver my message to the association. The double gate appeared. Brothers, the door closed immediately after he entered. The same scene repeated. Candles were lit, and stone statues appeared, and in the middle, the largest one sat on a chair as if he were the leader. Here, Gino approached him and said, "I have come, but what happened before will not happen today." The statues did not move from their places. Gino noticed that they were not monsters or living beings, but just dolls.

It is controlled by one person, and this person is not the statue sitting on the chair, but another statue from which magical energy emanates. It is the statue holding the instruction board. Geno asked it to speak, but it showed no reaction. So Geno told it, "Aren't you going to respond? I have exposed you." Then the statue showed a terrifying smile, deadly red eyes, and welcomed him.

The scene shifts to Tokyo Airport. The hunter Yuri arrived. All the journalists from around the world gathered there. They surrounded him and began taking pictures. They wanted to know his plan to stop the gate. His response was simple: "I will stop it as I stopped the previous one. I will place a strong magical barrier around the gate, and with that, I will have finished my work. Nothing inside the gate will be able to get out." The journalists asked him, "What you say is impossible. Your magic alone is not enough to stop an S-rank gate." He told them that his barrier has the ability to absorb magic from its surroundings to enhance its power. Thus, magical cores will be placed near the barrier, and it will not collapse. Then he smiled and told them with full confidence, "I will save you all. Just don't forget who saved you." This event was broadcast on all news channels.

The president of the Korean Association was not confident in Yuri's ability to stop this gate and was worried about the disaster that might occur if he failed. Then he asked the director about Geno, "How are things going with your new guild?" The director told him that everything is fine and the situation in Seoul is under control thanks to him. The president was surprised when he saw the statistics. Geno had closed a large number of gates in a short period. However, the director was worried about the problems that might arise between the guilds, as Geno was operating in their areas of influence. The director laughed when he heard that and said, "One man surpassed all the major guilds. Who would have expected that?" Then he asked, "Did Geno ask for anything?" The director replied, "Yes, he asked for the rights to all the gates near them for a week." The president agreed immediately.

At that moment, the director's phone rang, and he excused himself to answer it. The president allowed him to leave, saying he also had an important appointment. The director left the office. The call was about a new gate that appeared in the same school where the Orc appeared. He asked them, "Did anything dangerous happen there again?" They told him, "Not yet, but something terrifying might happen here. This gate is double." The director sweated when he heard the news, especially when he learned that Geno was there.

The scene shifts to inside the gate. The statue showed huge wings, and suddenly the board cracked and shattered in front of Geno. The latter did not expect this to happen. He thought the board was important because of what was written on it. He asked, "Didn't those rules mean anything?" The statue replied, "Those rules were indeed important, but now they are nothing important." He asked, "Did you invite me?" He replied, "Yes." He asked again, "Are you a monster?" He answered, "This question is not correct. Don't ask me who I am, but ask me who you are." Then he told him that this would be his last test, and if he succeeded, he would tell him everything. He told him, "Consider it a prize you will receive for completing this mission." Geno prepared to summon his shadows, but the statue stopped him and said, "I want to test you. You are not interested in the abilities of your servants." Geno was surprised, as all his abilities were nullified. He could only fight with his physical strength, and he could not leave here until he completed the mission: either succeed and survive, or fail and die. The statues turned around him, and he felt frustrated because the abilities he had worked hard to develop were now useless. However, he could still use the weapon storage, which was his last hope to overcome them.

The stone statue attacked with its giant sword. Geno dodged it successfully and shattered it with his bare hand. Then he took the broken part and threw it, hitting the statue's head. He succeeded in hitting it, but his attack had no effect. The statue reached out to pull out the sword as if nothing had happened, but Geno was faster. He jumped and hit it with his foot, causing the statue's head to shatter. Another attacked with an axe. Geno showed his daggers and cut the axe easily. Then he jumped on it and shattered its head. The third attacked him, and his weapon was a bow. Geno was literally at the peak of his concentration and succeeded in cutting the arrow despite its terrifying speed. Then he jumped into the air and kicked the arrow back to its owner, literally destroying its head, which was their only weakness. Geno was eager to crush them, and all he thought about was revenge for what happened that day. From afar, the leader appeared, watching the fight. He was smiling as if happy that Geno was overcoming his puppets. He said, "You have reached a great level, even though you are just a human. I admit your development was faster than I expected."

At this moment, Geno was fighting all the soldiers at once. He said that at first he thought they were teleporting, but now he could see their movements and admitted that they were truly strong. The leader laughed and told him, "I cannot deny your development, but this is not enough to end the test." Suddenly, the room shook, and the huge giant finally moved from its place. It stood up, and the difference between it and the rest was clear. Even the leader appeared like a dwarf in front of it. The giant glared at Geno with a look full of arrogance and pride. As for the leader, he told him, "It's time to submit to the ruler."

The scene shifts to a building in the capital, Seoul. The president of the Hunter Association was in an important meeting. Before him was a contract by which the association would receive all the magical cores extracted from Jeju Island. The guest was the president of the Japanese Association. He did not know what was happening or why Japan wanted to give up its rights. He told him that Japan wanted to hire the hunter Geno in return. The president laughed and said that the association does not control him and cannot impose any mission on Geno. The Japanese told him, "We know that, and we don't want you to convince him. We just want an opportunity to talk to him." The president considered the offer, especially since he knew that Japan, after the death of the hunter Yuji, had become very weak. So he sympathized with him and asked the translators to leave so he could speak with him privately. Matsumoto was surprised by this request. He did not know that Junhee knew Japanese. He told him that he had lived for a period of his youth there. The translators left the room. Junhee was clear from the beginning. He told him, "If you are planning something treacherous, stop now. I know you are involved with the Drawn Sword Guild. The association is supposed to be a neutral entity that does not favor any guild. I told you that you helped them recruit S-rank hunters and made them the strongest guild in the country. Therefore, the death of hunters and the weakness that Japan is suffering from are all because of you. If you fail to close this gate, the responsibility will be yours alone. The weakness of other guilds in the country would not have happened if you had been neutral." Then he showed a device that contained a recording of all the conversation between him and the hunter Yuji during the Jeju mission. He told him, "This box is proof of your corruption. Did you think you could deceive me?" The president emitted a powerful aura, his eyes glowing yellow. He was very angry because the Japanese had underestimated him. The latter was terrified, as if this information leaked, it would mean the end of his professional career, and he would spend the rest of his life in prison. But suddenly, the president broke the device. The table literally shattered from the force of the pressure, and he told him, "I am not as foolish as you to treat you in the same way. I will not let Japan pay for one person's mistake, nor will I let the continent of Asia suffer because of you. But be sure to thank the hunter Song Geno when you see him directly."

The scene shifts to him. He is still fighting the stone puppets. No matter how many he knocks down, new ones appear. It seemed as if these statues were endless. But Geno's intuition told him that the real danger was behind him. He looked up and saw the giant statue standing, its eyes glowing with a strong red light. Geno realized that something dangerous was about to happen, and he didn't have time to fight these puppets. He hid his weapon and used his remote control ability. He grabbed the puppets, and at that moment, a burning beam shot from the giant's eyes. He used the puppet as a shield to protect himself, and it literally burned, even though it was made of stone. The beam did not stop. The giant continued to fire it with such force that the puppets burned and were penetrated, but Geno retreated in time. The attack stopped, yet the smile did not disappear. It was clear from his features how eager he was to kill him. Geno decided to get rid of him first because he was the most dangerous. He rushed towards him with all his speed. The giant raised its foot, trying to crush him. The ground literally shattered from the force of the stomp, and he laughed because his move was successful. But suddenly, he heard a cracking sound from below. The statue watched closely, wanting to know the source of this sound. Suddenly, he saw Geno rushing towards him directly at rocket speed, so he prepared to fire another beam. Geno thought about using his control ability to change the trajectory of the attack, which would give him the opportunity to get close to its head. He pulled with all his might, and indeed, he succeeded in turning the giant's head. Even he did not expect his plan to succeed so easily. He reached the desired location and immediately launched a cutting attack towards it. He sent numerous attacks, but he was surprised when he saw the result. Despite the great power of that attack, it only caused scratches. However, he did not give up. He decided to break it instead of cutting it. He targeted the cracks, strengthened his hand, and began punching it. This time, it was clear that the giant was suffering. From afar, the leader appeared, surprised, and said that he did not expect to see his strongest puppet being beaten like this. Geno continued to hit with all his might. The giant's head was literally swaying from the force of the punches. Geno decided to put all his strength into this blow. It appeared like a rocket. He hit the giant's face from the left side. It shattered and fell to the ground in a humiliating scene. Geno descended, and the statues immediately attacked him, so he used his control skill and crushed them to the ground with ease. He noticed that his strength had increased and said to himself, "My level has likely increased since I entered this place." The leader clapped and said, "This is impressive." Geno replied, "Don't forget your promise. Keep it." He laughed and said, "The test is not over yet. You are still in front of me." Geno received a system notification: "Emergency mission." The leader told him, "This is your final test." His black face began to turn blue. The system told Geno to defeat his enemy in less than ten minutes, or his heart would stop. The countdown began. Geno asked, "Who are you?" The leader's face was about to reveal itself. He said, "I told you before, this question is wrong." But this time he decided to answer it, perhaps to appease him. He told him, "I am the programmer," meaning the creator of the system that Geno benefits from to increase his power outside the gates.

Director Jin Cheol arrived, accompanied by teams from the Hunter Association. The director knew for sure that they would not make any difference. If Geno was in danger, they would be a burden to him, but this was protocol, and he had to follow it. As soon as he stood in front of the entrance, he felt a terrifying aura, a deadly black aura emanating from the gate. He literally froze with fear. He could not move. He did not dare to enter. The other hunters felt nothing and asked him, "Why did you stop, Jin?" He could not find the right words to explain this feeling. Simply put, death awaited them inside. Then he told them that they had to ask for help from one of the major guilds, and the only guild currently available was the Hunter Association, to which Hunter Cha belonged, and they were currently preparing to enter a raid. The director ordered them to ask them to postpone it and come immediately because the matter was urgent.

Meanwhile, inside, the final test began. Geno stood before the mastermind of everything that had happened to him, the programmer. The programmer turned his wings into additional sharp blades, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared next to Geno and with a strong punch, he pushed him back. Song Jin could barely stop one hand, while the rest penetrated his defense. The programmer succeeded in throwing him in a humiliating way, and with force, he hit the wall of the room. Geno bled from the first attack. It was clear he was severely affected, as the programmer was far superior to the puppets and left him no time to rest. He was literally about to crush him, but Geno escaped at the last moment. This was not enough. The programmer was very close this time and succeeded in hitting him. Then he unleashed rapid punches towards him. The speed was literally terrifying, as each blow was enough to kill an S-rank hunter. The programmer began to enjoy himself but noticed something unexpected. Geno was holding his ground. He managed to dodge his speed and all the attacks with just his hands. He managed to dodge eight arms. The latter admitted that what was happening was a surprise and that Geno had exceeded all his expectations. But in the end, he succeeded in hitting him with a strong punch to the jaw and laughed, as if mocking him. Suddenly, the response was immediate: a strong punch to the middle of the face. Geno dodged, and the programmer retreated, admitting that fighting humans was indeed exciting. He said he had lived for many years, and this was the first time he had met a human who fought him with such parity. The punch literally shattered the shell covering his face, which made him more eager to fight. On the other side, Geno was bleeding from his head. The blood began to obstruct his vision. He said to himself, "Since the programmer called me, he is confident that Geno is at level 101. He will not be able to defeat him, yet he is determined to do the impossible." Then he asked him, "Why did you create the system? Why was I chosen? What will happen to this world?" The programmer attacked. "Do you think you won't get answers if you kill me? You underestimate me." Geno also moved and decided to attack from a distance this time, but the programmer met him with the same skill, and the result was a draw. Neither defeated the other, as if they were of equal strength. Geno retreated, looking confused, not knowing what to do, what the solution was to overcome this monster. The programmer said, "It doesn't matter if you kill me or not. The answers you will get were determined before the start." This time, he decided to use weapons. He held a weapon in each hand and told him that everything that had happened to him so far was designed by him and that everything was going as he wanted. Geno asked him, "How did you do that? How did you give me this power? I want to know its source." He told him, "It wasn't me who chose you. I am just the designer of the system that develops the player's level." Geno had six minutes and 19 seconds left before his heart stopped. He realized that time was no longer on his side, and the last solution was to attack directly. But the programmer moved first and asked him to fight with all his strength in the remaining time. He lunged at him, but Geno retreated quickly, and he pursued him, literally attacking with all his weapons at the same time. But Geno succeeded in dodging them and said to himself that his senses had become sharper. Even though his eyes were covered with blood, he was confident in his ability to avoid these attacks. He had moved from the stage of vision to the stage of feeling, and his eyes were no longer the only sense he used to determine the location of attacks. Every cell in his body became an alarm, to the point that the programmer was shocked. He didn't understand what was happening. Simply put, he could no longer touch him, and the bigger problem was that Geno's speed increased with time. At this moment, he lost one of his arms. The programmer was in pain and distressed, as what was happening here was illogical to him. His system was not designed to develop the player to the point of surpassing the developer. He said that Geno was special, he had something that no other human possessed, and that was why he was chosen. His gaze was terrifying, the intent to kill was clear on his face. The programmer did not accept this insult. He did not accept being challenged by the player he developed. He let out a powerful scream, so powerful that the stone statues cracked. This scream was an order to all of them to move to his aid. Time remaining: three minutes and 3 seconds. The giant also stood up. All the fallen puppets stood up again to support the leader. Geno, with all his strength, launched a long-range attack that caused all the puppets to fly away, as if a bomb had exploded there. He did not want to waste time with them. He targeted the programmer. The giant intervened with its huge fist, trying to crush him, but Geno succeeded in dodging it and reached his target. The programmer defended with all his might, and again he lost another arm. He had six left, and literally, if Geno had not retreated, he would have been split in two. At this moment, he lost focus and sustained a strong injury to his shoulder. When he looked behind him, he saw the statue with the shield. He remembered what happened the first time. This statue was the one that cut off his leg, and because of it, he was stuck there and what happened happened. This puppet had an old score to settle with Geno, and he could not ignore it. He destroyed it first, as if for revenge, then returned to the programmer to finish what he started. All the latter could do now was scream because Geno had cut off all his other arms and placed the dagger on his neck. He admitted defeat, and the test ended. Then he pointed his finger towards Geno and told him, "The answers you are looking for are inside you." Geno was surprised by this statement. Suddenly, a notification appeared before him, telling him that the data recovery process was successful and the final choice was his, either to accept it or refuse it. Geno hesitated at first because he did not know the consequences of accepting. He felt as if the programmer wanted to deceive him, but in the end, he accepted. A strong, radiant light emanated around him. He felt as if he was being pulled somewhere. The light gradually turned into darkness, and he found himself in a strange place, as if he had traveled through time.

Geno appeared as a white specter, and below him, a terrifying army of monsters appeared, as if a devastating war was about to occur. Geno still did not understand what was happening, did not understand where these monsters came from, and how he would stop them. Suddenly, all the monsters stopped. They all looked up in the same direction. Geno turned behind him, wanting to know what was attracting them. He was surprised to see five giant black gates in the sky, and the sky also had a strange color. He understood that this place was not Earth. This place was the world of monsters, and perhaps through those gates, they crossed into the human world. Geno admitted that if all these monsters came out at the same time, humans would have no chance against them, not even he could stop them. But the battle this time was different. The monsters were the ones being attacked. Suddenly, a strong light emanated from the gates, and creatures with wings emerged, as if they were angels. They wore war attire and came in very large numbers. Geno was stunned, content to watch without comment. One of the soldiers grabbed a silver horn and blew into it, announcing the start of the war. This was the first time all the monsters had allied, as the danger threatened everyone. The monsters united to avoid annihilation, but the scales tipped towards the silver soldiers. The victory was theirs. All the monsters, brothers, were crushed. The soldiers stopped, believing the battle was decided. At that moment, a new enemy arrived, riding a horse that emanated a black aura resembling a shadow. Geno felt that this person, or rather this power, was familiar. Black shadow flowed into the battlefield, and with one word, all the monsters stopped again. It was the true Shadow King, also known as the King of the Undead Army. The colors of his soldiers were different from Geno's soldiers, and the numbers of his army were terrifying. Geno's army looked like a small squad compared to him. And thanks to the Shadow King, the monsters got another chance. The balance of power was now equal, and all this was thanks to one man who was the strongest among everyone. He trampled the silver ones as if they were nothing. He was literally much stronger than Geno, and wherever he went, he left corpses behind. This time, the scales tipped in favor of the Undead Army. But suddenly, an unexpected opponent appeared, and the Shadow King, who was superior, stopped.

The scene shifts to outside the room. The director and the others arrived at the door. It was closed, and Hunter Cha looked nervous. They heard the double gate, which made all the hunters terrified of entering it. The director did not understand why Geno returned again, despite all the suffering and nightmare he had experienced last time. The door opened for them. Jung In was shocked when he saw what was inside. Everything was destroyed. The director was stunned because they had not found any statues before, and now they were in front of them, shattered. How they disappeared, he did not know. At that moment, they heard a voice behind them: "I don't remember inviting humans." This voice came from the programmer, and what shocked them was that the monster was speaking their language. Then he told them, "Be quiet, you will interrupt the King's sleep." At that moment, Geno appeared, standing frozen in place, as if a body without a soul. The hunters did not understand what was happening and what Hunter Song was doing there. Suddenly, one of them was injured, and three of them died at once. Hunter Cha prepared to fight, and the programmer was happy because there were strong humans who would be offered as sacrifices to the King. Here we will stop, and look forward to the continuation of the events in the upcoming episodes. I love you, brothers, goodbye. [Music]
