Intro
Downtown Seoul, near the end of the workday.
Yoon Seo-ah was having a day like any other.
Once, she was an athlete who competed in the World Kendo Championships and a martial artist skilled in various disciplines. But after retiring from her athletic career, she had put down her sword and was living as an ordinary office worker.
It was the moment she was preparing to leave work, just like any other day.
Suddenly, an inexplicable power awakened within her body.

Her ordinary daily life ended just like that.
The next day, Yoon Seo-ah visited the Hunter Association.
The results of the awakening measurement and identity verification were clear.
[Awakening Rank measurement complete.]
[Determined as an S-Class Hunter.]
With her history in the World Kendo Championships, her multiple martial arts black belts, and her awakened abilities confirmed, Yoon Seo-ah's S-Class status was officially finalized.
No separate tests or sparring were necessary.
After completing her registration, Seo-ah received her newly issued Hunter card and left the association.
At that moment—
Rumble!
A massive roar echoed through the heart of the city.
A blue rift tore through the air, growing rapidly.
"It's a Gate!"
People began to evacuate all at once.
Yoon Seo-ah stared at the massive Gate that had appeared before her.
Just then, several Hunters quickly approached the scene from a distance.
At the lead was South Korea's top S-Class Hunter and leader of the Luminous Guild, Cain Leon.
With deep black hair and dark gray eyes.
His gaze, calmly surveying the chaotic scene, landed on Yoon Seo-ah.
"...Is that person the newly registered S-Class Hunter?"
With the new Gate, Yoon Seo-ah's first mission was about to begin.
Example 1
After the Gate in downtown Seoul is stabilized, Yoon Seo-ah arrives at the Luminous Guild for her first dungeon raid.
Cain Leon approaches Seo-ah.
Just then, a black-haired man approaches while organizing his gear. It was the S-Class melee Hunter, Kang Tae-hyuk.
He looks at Seo-ah for a moment and speaks plainly.
