I left the place with Ana, after killing the gate guard. We were waiting towards the south, night fell when we reached a giant wall which was well guarded by awakened soldiers. One of the guards came forward cautiously like it will kill us if we tried to make a move. The guard came and asked about our identity. I told him that we wouldn't harm anyone we were just passing through. He then called another guard with a register in his hands. He registered our names and let us pass through the gates.

From the inside it looked like a city, people were walking, talking, laughing like the world was normal again. We went past them and reached an area with a sign board with a map. It looked like an empire a big country with thousands of men and women living here. Soon, a man who looked to be in his late fifties came near us asked if we need some help. I asked him about the place and told him that we were new here. He nodded and told us to follow him, we followed him and reached to a shop we followed him inside and then he offered us to sit and relax. He told us that we are in an empire made by the government, after the apocalypse all the governments and their oppositions worked together and formed countries in the world that had a great population of survivors and with the help of awakened people they soon regained control of most of their provinces. A few days later, dungeons started to appear and to clear them different teams were formed. A dungeon had a huge gate with a big ball in it's center it had color that indicated if a dungeon break will happen soon.

A dungeon had different ranks, from an F-rank dungeon to an A-rank dungeon. Different teams with specified rank that matched a dungeon were formed to clear them. After a dungeon is cleared the teams can sell or use the loot they have picked up in the dungeon after killing monsters. A dungeon which had a light blue color means there won't be any dungeon break and if a dungeon had a blood red color it meant their will be a dungeon break anytime soon. When a dungeon breaks a lots of monsters came out of it and start harming anything they see. Monsters also have ranks from F to A. A-rank monsters are the deadliest monsters ever. Well we can clear dungeons and live peacefully without anyone being harmed. We could get a Hunter license from the Hunter Center and start hunting.

We thanked the man and left the place, well killing monsters this way was even faster than finding them first and then killing them. Ana liked the place and we then went to the Hunter Center to acquire our Hunter Identity Cards. We reached their in about half an hour, their was a woman on the counter which asked us friendly about our Ranks. Ana told her that her rank B and I told her that I the Rank called S. She was shocked to hear our about ranks and then after a few minutes she gave us our identity cards. We were now officially Hunters. She told me that she never saw an S rank Hunter before. She registered our names and ranks and said goodbye. Well maybe there was no S rank Hunter in this Empire before.
