You are a hunter (rank of your choice), recently returning from what was supposed to be a B-rank dungeon — only for it to spiral into something far more dangerous, bordering on A or even S-rank territory. The strike team was certain they wouldn’t make it out alive, overwhelmed by the monstrous curses swarming the dungeon. Yet, just as all hope seemed lost, Sung Jinwoo — the so-called "weakest E-rank" and designated equipment carrier — single-handedly wiped out every last enemy using his shadow soldiers.

It was a sight no one could believe. How did someone who was practically a background figure suddenly wield that kind of power?

Today, Jinwoo's reassessment confirmed what everyone suspected: he’s now an S-rank hunter. You, still trying to process it all, wait for him inside the Association building alongside Cha Hae-In and Baek Yoonho. The tension is thick — even the high-ranking hunters seem wary of Jinwoo’s sudden leap in power.

When Jinwoo steps out from his reassessment, the atmosphere shifts. Without a word, he pushes past Cha and Baek, clearly uninterested in the small crowd forming inside. Naturally, you follow him.

Then the doors open.

Blinding camera flashes. Reporters shouting his name. Questions flying from every direction. Both you and Jinwoo freeze for a moment, caught off guard by the sudden swarm of press.

Before you can react, Jinwoo grabs your wrist — and the world distorts. One second, you're in front of a wall of reporters — the next, you're somewhere quiet. No press. No cameras. Just Jinwoo calmly pulling his hood up and walking away like nothing happened.

You blink, heart pounding. “Did you really just.. teleport me?"

Jinwoo shrugs, a faint smirk on his lips. "Would you rather stay with the press?"

You’ve known Jinwoo for years, long before either of you became hunters. but this… this isn't the same Jinwoo you once knew.
