Cheolhan raised his eyelids with difficulty.

An empty bottle of alcohol hits the hand he stretches out to raise himself and rolls on the floor.

making a loud noise

If it had been ironclad until yesterday, I would have been nervous.

Now was not the time.

Cheol-han slapped himself on the cheek.

He shouted again the words he had spoken several times last night.

“Status window!”

“skill

“Rice has changed!”

It was a status window that had not changed no matter how desperately I begged for the past seven years.

however.

A ‘class’ that can only be obtained by an awakened person who has undergone a secondary awakening.

It was newly added to the status window.

It didn’t end there.

Those question marks that didn’t change no matter how hard I tried.

That’s what finally took off the veil and revealed his identity.

Even with an unbelievable grade of S.

“Amazing, Great!”

Despite the headaches from the hangover that still lingers.

Cheolhan jumped up from his seat.

With both eyes only facing the status window.

Didn’t blink an eye once.

If you blink and look again.

Like before ‘???’ I think it will float like this.

but.

Despite blinking, the status window was still there.

It was showing the 2nd awakening, not the 1st awakening.

The skill window, which had been bothering him for seven years by showing only question marks, had changed.

Even with a ridiculous grade of S, not C, B, or A.

S-class skill.

It was a grade that was known to have few Hunters in the world yet.

Even the auction price of the skill book where you can get A-class skills from the auction was enough to shock everyone.

It’s close to a miracle just that such an S-class skill appeared.

Not one S-class skill, but two.

before checking your skills.

With trembling hands, Cheolhan confirmed the new trait.

『Hunger (S): I feel hunger. The stronger the hunger, the stronger the enemy can be hunted. You will crave to devour stronger enemies.』

“What do you mean?”

unknown explanation.

And it was a unique characteristic that Cheol-han saw for the first time.

It was Cheol-han who had studied all kinds of characteristics.

I searched all kinds of information to somehow erase that question mark and get a new characteristic.

The characteristics included common characteristics and unique characteristics.

The common trait was a common trait that many hunters had.

Not much was known about its unique properties. Only one Hunter has it. Because it was literally a unique characteristic.

However, it was rare enough that many hunters tried to have that unique characteristic.

Among them, that characteristic of hunger was really new to me.

It didn’t end there.

in S grade. Even the level sign labeled Lv.01 next to it.

Like the number 1 followed by the number 2.

It was clear that it meant that he could grow.

“This is not the time. What is your skill?”

Skills were more important than attributes.

Because it was a skill that Hunters used when fighting monsters.

If only Cheolhan had at least a C-level skill.

Had it been so, this worst situation would not have happened.

With trembling hands, Cheolhan confirmed the first skill, Predation.

『Predation (S): You can eat the opponent you subdued. As the skill level goes up, the grade that can be eaten goes up.

Current Predatory Rating: D』

simple explanation.

With just that one simple line, it was impossible to know what the new skill was.

but.

Cheol-han couldn’t take his eyes off the skill level next to him.

‘It’s S-class…’

Grade B. At least, even if it was a C-class skill, it would have hurrahed.

From noble mtl dot com

Just like showing the number 1 in the lottery. In Cheolhan’s eyes, he couldn’t take his eyes off the brilliantly written ‘S’ grade.

It didn’t end there.

Cheolhan quickly confirmed another skill, growth.

『Growth (S): You can grow through predation. The higher the skill level, the higher the level you can grow.

Current Growth Possible Grade: E』

The other one, ‘growth’, was equally puzzling.

What kind of skill is that abstract explanation? I had no idea what kind of effect it would have.

Still, one thing was certain.

“Amazing, Great.”

that it’s awesome.

It was also an invitation to the level of winning lottery 1st place several times.

1 S-rank unique trait.

Two S-rank skills.

As long as it’s already been rated S.

It was clear that any trash skill would be better than an A-rank skill.

You will have to enter the dungeon to check exactly what skill it is.

Cheol-han got up completely and headed to the bathroom.

The cold water hit his face and his hot head cooled down a little.

I see a messed up man through the mirror.

A homeless person living on the streets would be better off than this.

Cheolhan once again poured cold water on him.

Although her face was still a mess, one thing had changed.

right in the eyes.

Cheolhan’s eyes were burning hotly.

As if a extinguished fire is revived.

Looking at my ugly self through the mirror.

Cheolhan said quietly.

“I don’t want to look at anyone anymore. I will not live with stupid consideration.”

Determination.

This is the promise Cheol-han made countless times while living in hell for the past two months.

When I think about Gina, I lived a foolish life.

Looking back now, I lived a foolish life.

5 out of 10. No, I thought it would be enough if I could return even 3.

But the reality is coldly turned away.

Although I reached out my hand anxiously at the moment when I really needed a helping hand.

Cheol-han’s most difficult time.

A colleague who has helped me countless times.

My ex-wife, who had given me everything, turned away.

One such foolish act was enough.

“Now I will live for myself.”

Park Chul-han, who lived a foolish life, died yesterday.

As of today, Cheol-han was newly born.

speech. action. thought.

Cheolhan thought of changing all of them.

*

There was one reason why Cheol-han was able to endure even in the hellish situation.

When everyone turns away from Cheol-han.

Because there was a friend who was the only one who found himself.

Guild life is also a failure.

Failed even as a hunter.

Married life also failed.

Everything is in Cheol-han’s life, which is covered in failure.

One that can be called the only success.

that was a friend

Because I said that if you have one friend in life you can open up to, you are successful.

From noble mtl dot com

Jihoon Kim.

Cheol-han’s high school classmate.

The only friend I’ve been with for over 10 years.

Kim Ji-hoon was a B-class hunter.

To be precise, I got a class called ‘Appraiser’ through the 2nd awakening.

Rather than being a Hunter, it could be said to be a non-combat-type Awakener.

“Brother is here. Get up and get some porridge… What is it? Were you awake?”

Kim Ji-hoon opens the door and comes in and is surprised.

The room with Cheol-han was the same as he had seen every time.

Musty smell.

Empty liquor bottles rolling around.

A messed up room.

Lastly, even Cheolhan, who should be like a dead man.

It has been the same scenery every time over the past two months.

But now, in Jihoon Kim’s eyes, one thing had changed.

Cheolhan was up.

It’s not that I’m drunk and strewn about.

Although his appearance was a mess, he was welcoming Kim Ji-hoon with a normal face.

“I’m here?”

“okay. I brought some side dishes, so take some with you.”

Kim Ji-hoon, who was about to say a few words close to nagging, hesitated.

To be precise, from the moment I met Cheol-han’s eyes.

“Cheolhan.”

“why?”

“What happened?”

has changed

It’s not even a negative change. It was a change in a very good direction.

In terms of appearance, he was a beggar-like friend like I had seen a few days ago.

The eyes changed.

“You… no. Let’s put it away for a while and let’s talk. I’ll be cleaning it up. Wash up and come out.”

“okay.”

Kim Ji-hoon looked behind Cheol-han as he entered the bathroom with strange eyes.

Dead eyes like rotten dynamic eyes.

It was blazing brightly, just like in the past when there was a lot of vigor.

Run into anything with passion.

Like the look of those days when it produced the best results again.

Kim Ji-hoon was lost in thought as he cleared the empty bottles rolling around the floor.

‘What kind of change will it be?’

It was obviously a rotten dynamic even a few days ago.

He was a friend who made me come to him again and again, worried about whether he was alive or dead.

A friend who makes you worry that you are really giving up on life.

That kind of irony changed overnight.

No, it wasn’t that different.

As if it was a regression that often appears in novels, the eyes of the past were full of confidence.

After cleaning the messy room a bit.

I sat down with Cheol-han, who had shaved off his beard and came out with a clean face.

“What is the sudden change?”

“I woke up last night.”

Cheol-han said to Kim Ji-hoon, who was about to ask what it meant.

“Jihoon.”

“okay. Any request is fine. Do everything.”

what do i need to say

A friend who has been together for well over 10 years.

One small action, enough time to know what you’re trying to say just by hearing the tone.

Cheolhan’s expression and tone right now. He used to come out when he asked for a favor that was difficult for him to do.

“Let me do one favor.”

At Cheolhan’s words, Kim Jihoon silently nodded.

Seeing such a friend, Cheol-han said.

“Lend me some money. Not much.”

“Are you going to start over?”

“uh. it should be Because I can’t live like a loser forever.”

I needed money.

Get a class called Predator through the 2nd awakening.

Although Cheolhan has two S-class unique characteristics and skills.

I had no money to spend right now.

No matter how much he was a veteran, even if he was a 7-year-old C-class hunter, it was useless.

enter the dungeon To deal with monsters, equipment was essential.

You need money to buy such equipment.

“what. I’m asking for something unreasonable. Okay, so let’s do something from that head first. Even if you close it, it’s a mess.”

“thanks.”

“What between us? Still, I’ll pay the interest properly. Pay the interest every time.”

“guy.”

Cheol-han laughed at Kim Ji-hoon’s joke.

Borrowing Cheolhan’s money was not a difficult request.

Kim Ji-hoon was a B-class Awakener with an appraiser class.

If only I had known this situation would come because two months ago, Cheol-han couldn’t trade a piece of equipment as used.

It was Kim Ji-hoon who would have bought a few hundred equipment coolly.

However, at that time, he was not in Korea because he had to fulfill the overseas schedule set by the Appraiser Guild.

It’s a mediator, but I did it over the phone.

The fact that the deal was broken because Cheol-han had no money. It was Kim Ji-hoon, whom I came to know with the news that the equipment was handed over to another acquaintance.

The result of thinking about Cheol-han and trying to help him.

It must have been a coincidence of coincidence.

My heart was heavy at the fact that it had reached the worst of the worst.

Because Cheolhan had never shown such an expression before.

I just knew that as a lover, I sympathized with my ex-wife’s extravagance.

I really didn’t know that there wouldn’t be hundreds of C-class hunters like that.

really.

“thanks. I will pay you back soon.”

“done. Don’t even think about paying it right away. Pay only the interest and repay later with great success.”

Cheol-han burst into laughter at Kim Ji-hoon’s joke.

Thanks to the help of my friend Kim Ji-hoon.

Cheol-han was able to lay the groundwork to start over.

*

morning a week later.

Cheol-han was running through the hills behind the neighborhood.

“Whoop.”

Hunters who have awakened to combat are different from ordinary people.

However, that did not mean that the body would be perfectly maintained even if one lived like a disabled person.

more than two months.

It was enough time for Cheolhan’s stamina to hit the bottom after letting go of everything.

“after.”

Although I lived as a hunter for over 7 years.

Cheolhan is a C-class hunter at best.

It was Cheol-han who started training to enter the dungeon again.

Whether the efforts of the past 7 years have not been in vain.

A short period of a week was enough to get back in shape.

“Let’s begin.”

now.

It was time for a fresh start.
