A week had passed since Eunha escaped the gate.
Thump, thump.
A quiet room. With a somewhat serious face, Eunha typed on the keyboard with both index fingers.
‘Wolf Guild’
Through the white screen, information related to the Wolf Guild poured down. Eunha slowly scrolled the mouse wheel, inputting the information into her head, piece by piece.
Siwoo had brought a laptop for Eunha’s convenience. Since connecting to WiFi was a challenge for Eunha, he had done all the settings. Thanks to that, Eunha was able to easily find information about the modern world from inside the room.
“Hmm.”
As Eunha was browsing the internet, she quietly stroked her chin. Indeed, the Wolf Guild appeared to be the largest guild in South Korea without a doubt. However, its fame seemed to be a doubleedged sword.

┖>□□: LOL, supporting what should be supported LOL, honestly, Srank gates are cleared because they make the most moneyㅇㅇ
┖>□□: It’s true though?
┖>□□: I don’t really care about hunters or guilds, but I know the Wolf Guild is the most famous, honestly, in terms of recognition, the Wolf Guild is unbeatable
┖>□□: It’s just like how popular celebrities have just as many hatersㅇㅇ, since it’s such a big place, there are a lot of rumors and stuff
┖>□□: Isn’t the Wolf Guild master retiring soon? The Wolf did a lot, so who’s next?
When she had scrolled down that far, suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
“Senior, it’s me.”
It was Siwoo’s voice. Eunha closed the laptop and opened the door. Siwoo, who entered the room, started to lay out something on the table.
“These are the minimum essentials for you to live in the modern world, Senior. Please keep them.”

Creating a temporary identity was no big deal for the Wolf Guild. Of course, Siwoo himself didn’t do these tedious tasks personally.
“…Yura?”
Eunha, who was checking the items, muttered with doubt.
“Yes. It’s a pseudonym, of course.”
Forgery of documents. A method quietly used by those hiding their real identity as hunters.
“You said you didn’t want to reveal that you’re a firstgeneration hunter. I don’t even know your real name yet.”
Siwoo, who had spoken up to that point, glanced at Eunha.
“You still don’t intend to tell me, do you?”
“…….”
Even trying to say her name, she felt a lump in her throat.
“I hope you’ll tell me someday, even if not now.”
Before Eunha’s silence, Siwoo turned his gaze away, not prying further.
“First, you need to learn a bit about the modern world, Senior.”
Siwoo opened a bag he had brought separately. Whoosh, countless books poured onto the table.
“You want me to read these?”
“Yes. I was told to pick only easytoread books, is there a problem?”
“…….”
Eunha shook her head with a trembling face. Yes, it would be shameless to complain about something he had thoughtfully prepared.
“In your time, Senior, that is, around the late 90s, the line between awakened beings and soldiers was not clear.”
“That’s right.”
Eunha nodded, casually glancing at the books in front of her.
“There, look at page 10. Unlike the past, where one’s will was ignored and military service was imposed upon awakening, nowadays there is freedom of choice.”
As Xiwoo said, in the past, all Awakened had to become hunters. Possessing a power that was human yet not human, they were the only beings that could kill monsters.
They donned golden military stripes around their necks and plunged into battle with the evocative name of ‘hunter,’ just as Eunha and Ijoon did.
Many hunters died, and many civilians died. An immeasurable amount of blood covered the Earth, and gradually, humanity began to adapt to this new genre.
“And at the end of the 2000s, the world began to recognize hunters as a profession.”
People praised the hunters, cheered for their activities, and were enthusiastic about the results they produced.
Yes, at some point, the hunter had become both humanity’s savior and an outstanding entertainer.
Especially the attention of the whole world was on the ‘Srank hunters,’ who were of a special rank among the hunters. In Korea, there were only six.
“One of them is me.”
Xiwoo said in an indifferent tone. There was neither a brag nor any modesty in his voice. It was simply a casual tone as if stating a wellestablished fact.
He was indeed strong. Eunha, who had fought him for a moment, could nod in agreement.
[The divine beast ‘Cat That Wanders the Darkness’ would freeze to death at Srank! If only my sister had not lost her mind, you would have been more than just roasted, the cat scoffs.]…It seemed that the cat’s dislike of Xiwoo was not a misconception.
Xiwoo, who had no way of knowing that the cat was bitterly recounting its resentment, continued speaking firmly.
“Senior is an Srank hunter like me and Horn… no, possesses the laughing skills of a firstgeneration hunter. If it’s known that such a talented person has been recruited, Wolf will become even more talked about.”
“You need that talkativeness.”
Thud. Eunha, who had been reading , closed the book and spoke.
Then, Xiwoo smiled faintly.
Though the meaning behind that smile couldn’t be fully dissected, it probably wasn’t negative.
“But there is a problem.”
“What is it? If you don’t like the contract terms, you can modify them according to your wishes.”
“No, it’s not that.”
Eunha hesitated for a moment.
There were restrictions in the contract with the cat. Due to those restrictions, Eunha had lost her name.
‘To explain that I’ve lost my name, I have to talk about the contract with the cat.’
There was a problem there too. There were two restrictions in total. Eunha couldn’t talk about the cat, not just her name.
Eunha, who had been lost in thought, slowly licked her lips.
“It’s a bit difficult to reveal that I’m a firstgeneration hunter. I want to keep stories related to the Unknown Gate secret for now.”
At Eunha’s words, Xiwoo tilted his head slightly. But it was only for a moment. Xiwoo nodded as if he understood and opened his mouth.
“…I see. Considering the past when you were forcibly conscripted and used as a living weapon, it’s understandable that you’re sick of your life as a hunter now.”
…Huh?
Eunha raised her head. Xiwoo was looking somewhat pitiful.
“When this contract is over, you want to leave the mundane world and live quietly.”
Xiwoo understood completely. He too was sick and tired of the world of hunters.
“Even if we don’t publicize that you’re a firstgeneration hunter, your skills alone will be more than enough to make headlines. There are many ways.”
Having said that much, Xiwoo smoothly stood up from his seat. He put on the coat he had taken off, and he glanced at Eunha.
“For now, the easiest way to prove it is the best.”
“Method?”
“Yes. Measurement.”
He picked up the car keys.
“Let’s leave right now.”
