Chapter 879: The Hunter Association [Pt 1]



'This world's technology never ceases to amaze me.' I smiled, looking out the window as I cruised in a vehicle called a car.

Kuzon looked unfazed by the whole thing, though I could see his eyes occasionally darting out the window.

We were in the back seat of the car, watching the landscape as it changed.

'This truly is a different world. Look at the buildings, and the applications of technology. It reminds me of the Fairy Capital. Well... not exactly, but...'

It truly was fascinating, at least from an explorative perspective.

'But, from a Magical one, it's nearly lackluster.' I almost sighed in disappointment.

Even though the alternate world I found myself in at the start of this mad journey had underdeveloped Magic, I still learned some pretty nice applications to it.

However, I had been spreading my senses in a wide range, trying to see any of such unique attributes.

Unfortunately, none of them existed.

'I guess it has to do with this world's unique history.' I smiled.

Thanks to the memories I just recently obtained, I had a fair idea of what happened here.

... And how it became the way it was.

In the Year 2012, over a decade ago, a sudden occurrence happened.

The world experienced the first visit of Dimensional Energy—an otherworldly power that tore through space and warped reality.

Unfortunately, this energy was not on their side in the slightest.

The interaction it had with the world was none other than catastrophic—the creation of Gates!

These Gates, a byproduct of too much Dimensional Energy coagulating in one area, served as a gateway to other dimensions.

These Dimensions were dubbed Dungeons, and Monstrous beings existed on the other side.

Initially, the humans of this world didn't know what to make of this development, thus they suffered gravely for it.

In a bid of trial and error, they finally learned some ugly truths.

These Gates had a time limit. Once a week passed and the 'Boss' wasn't defeated, the Gate would spill over the monsters into the real world, causing what was known as a Dungeon Break.

Modern technology barely had any effect beyond the gates, or even none at all, thanks to the density of Dimensional Energy.

As a result, the humans had to resort to something more drastic.

Implementation of Dimensional Energy.

It started out as a desperate attempt, but the infusion of Dimensional Energy into people altered them greatly, making them capable of superhuman feats.

This was called an 'Awakening'

Those who successfully Awakened held the Titles of Hunters, thus making it their profession to stop the Monsters in the Gates.

Still, only about one percent of people held a compatibility for this great power, making the rest Inept, unable to ever Awaken.

That wasn't all, though.

Even among those who Awakened, there were different levels of compatibility they had, which affected how much power the would be able to display.

These were divided into Classes (Ranging from F Class to S Class). As the times progressed, more technology was developed to combat the Dungeons, and so even the Gates got classified based on their danger levels.

It had been over a decade since the first incident, and mankind has made sufficient progress already.

.... Though it was not nearly enough.

After all, within every advancement for good, there was always the possibility of evil.

There were quite a few groups that sprung up as a result of this power that they recieved from the Dimensional Energy.

Brokers were one of them, but those were just lowlifes trying to bypass the established system in order to obtain illegal profit.

There existed a much worse organization, though not much was known about it. However, their scale of operations was global, and they held a lot of influence.

They were known as... The Shadows Of Light—a terrorist group that opposed the order of society.

No one knew the face of their leader, no the identities of their members.

However, they were infamous in this world.

Dungeon Breaks. Terrorist Bombings. Mass Shootings.

They had caused a lot of chaos in this world. It was already clear as day who the villains in this world were.

All that remained was rooting them out.

Agencies like the Special Seoul Security Service, and even the Hunter Association, were in charge of stopping their activities and bringing ensuring the safety of humans.

And, right now, we were heading to South Korea's Hunter Association Headquarters.

We arrived at a rather massive building, locked within a much bigger compound. The entire area was well protected by numerous officials, and I could see smaller buildings and vehicles in the compound.

Since we were in the Director's car, however, neither I or Kuzon experienced any difficulty entering the building.

"As you'd expect, we have our Headquarters in Seoul. However, even though my office is somewhere around here, I would like you to have an audience with our Chairman. Is that fine?" Director Baek asked.

What a nice man. Not only was he courteous, but he also appeared very humble in his speech.

'Hmm...' I smiled, nodding to tell him it was fine.

Kuzon shrugged, and so we were taken to the uppermost floor in order to meet the most important man in South Korea's Hunter Association.

I wasn't having any big expectations, considering they'd be a total stranger, but this was the best time to get whatever information I wanted so we could peacefully leave this place.

Once we used the Elevators, we arrived at the topmost floor, and Director Baek guided us to a very large hallway, where a room was already waiting for us.

It had glass walls, and it was empty as well. It appeared to be something used for a group meeting, but so far we were the only ones present.

"Our Chairman will be here shortly." He bowed slightly.

'I thought we were going to meet him. So he's coming to meet us instead?' I didn't say anything, but smiled once more.

~This is a waste of time...~ Kuzon's thoughts echoed in my head, to which I shrugged aside.

'You think so? Well, maybe you're right...'

However, motives were essential to every action. And just as Kuzon had his reasons for his whatever he would rather do, I had mine as well.

"Let's wait a little longer."
