Chapter 2 - Chapter 1 The Beginning

Rank C- Hunter, Kim Seonwu , 20 Y/O

[The disgrace of Kim family]

No matter where he went the title of disgrace followed him.

His overall strength was just equal to a E rank hunter but what makes him a bit special is his ability [Perception].

No matter where the enemy is , If he is in a distance of 15 meter Seonwu can track him.

This ability of his combined with his inherent ability [Regen] made him a great scout in dungeon hunting.

Even with this why did he have the title of disgrace? You must be thinking.

It's because of His Family

{The Kim Family} A Family of Great Hunters Like Kim Dokja(A rank), Kim Meungho(A- rank)

And One of the 7 Heroes [ Kim Jinwoo ].

When you come from such a Great Family That has such Rich History And present as the Kim Family. The expectations are way higher.

Seonwu's sister Yeonmi is 18y/o and B rank already, His Younger brother Taengsu,17y/o is C+ rank already

Of course it's not as if Seonwu liked being a hunter but When You come from such a Family, Your life is on a road with many diversions but it ultimately leads to one thing A Hunter

The work was really dangerous , near to no protection of life and the pay in return was just pathetic but it wasn't about the pay it was about the Glory and Fame that comes along being a Hunter and a good one at that is just amazing

Since because of not even passing the qualification exam before turning 15 he was titled [ Disgrace of the Family ]

He had almost cut ties with the family and lived on his own

If it wasn't for the [Hunter allowance] every month which gave him a place to stay and medical treatment for injuries alongside some other privileges, He would have long turned in his Hunter's license and quit.

But what a person like Seonwu who was brought up while only focusing on being a hunter can do other than raiding dungeons.

[13 March 2022]

Seonwu hadn't raided a dungeon for over a year now, and was sleeping in his house peacefully

*Door bell rings*

"Ahhhhh! who is it now?"

Seonwu opens The Door

"Mr.Seonwu I am sent by your grandmother, She wants to see you."

"That old woman wants to see me?.....me?"

"Indeed."

*Thinks* (Huh for 3 years My family didn't care about me , whether I lived or died, they didn't care. now they want to see me?)

"Ok Butler Su lead the way"

They reach Kim Family Mansion

"Been a long time since I came here."

* deep breath *

"Where is that old woman."

An unknown voice shouts "Follow Me"

As Seonwu turns around there was a old woman dressed like a Ancient Chinese Queen standing.

"Your parents are waiting too."

As soon as he heard about his parents, A tear dropped from his eyes

"5 years...for 5years you guys didn't let me meet my parents and now you can say it with a straight face?"

"You will understand when we tell you everything Seonwu."

They reach The Family Gathering Hall

Seonwu's Mom and Dad were sitting there

As soon as they see eachother Seonwu breaks down in tears

*His parents Hug him*

"5 years...*holds back tears* where were you? forgot You had a son?"

"Seonwu listen closely we don't have much time before we need to go. If you want to know what happened in these 5 years and why we left , you need to get stronger that's the only way."

"But I can't C- rank feels like my limit."

His parents looked at eachother

"You Remember your ability right? that you can't open [ Soul Sage]"

"Yes, but Its basically useless if I die how can I use my power?"

"Listen , there is a C+ rank dungeon (The Abyss) it's core has the ability to debuff any spiritual damage once you need to get it if you want to know the truth."

It's been 5 years since he met his parents but still , they were his parents so he agreed.

"Ok, I will try my best."

"We just want to say a few things before we go , Don't Risk your life for it Wether you can get it or not doesn't matter but know that we are proud of you."

As soon as they finished talking A mysterious portal opened behind them

"Take care ,Son."

They went in the portal .

Seonwu's Grandmother led him to a room specially made for him before his parents left.

"This was the room Your Parents made for you."

*His Grandmother hands him a Card*

"Take this money, You will need it a lot in the future."

*His Grandmother leaves*

Seonwu gets over his feelings pretty fast and looks for what lies ahead of him.

[A Weaponry ] loaded with the most advanced weapons and attribute enhancing items in the world were in the room along with some belonging and letters of his parents that were to be opened when he reached a specific rank.

*Someone creeps upto his Back*

As Seonwu turns behind he sees His Sister Yeonmi and brother Taengsu were there.

"Long time no see brother."

"Yes, Are you a loser like they see Old wu?"

Their presence gave a feeling of warmth to Seonwu a feeling of family he has been missing for years.

"*Takes a deep breath* Yes, it's been a long time how have you two been, I heard that Yeonmi reached B rank ."

*Nods* " Yes brother, will You make Kimchi soup for me just like you made whenever I reached a new rank?

"Surely, let's make it for you right now."

[1 Month Later]

"Old wu are you really going to a dungeon?"

"Yes Taengsu."

" So Come back in one piece I still need to defeat you."

*Smiles* " Yes my little leige."

Seonwu gets on his bike and leaves for the dungeon

At The Entrance of the dungeon He meets with his Raiding Teammates

"Little wu You ready?"

Someone whispered behind Seonwu.

As he turned back it was Shi-Taejook(B Rank hunter) he was like a big brother to Seonwu

"Yes Hyung."

*They entered the dungeon*

The Abyss.

It was a C- rank dungeon where numerous monsters lurked.

As soon as they entered Seonwu's team was greeted my hundreds of monsters

A person says

"Don't area of 1 km in a dungeon always be protected?"

Taejook politely answers

"Yes only if they are cleared before."

"So everyone, Let's get these bunch of hooligans!"

And they got into a head-on fight with the mosters

[After eradicating the monsters]

Taejook , sighed as he looked at the fallen monsters.

"Was This really a C+ Rank dungeon...?"

The Mage of the Team Aggressively replies

"Yes, i checked it twice."

The monsters were too strong for C+ rank

They reach the dungeon boss room

*Room is opened*

Dungeon Boss [Abyss Dragon]

As soon as the Room was opened Taejook fell on his knees

"Why is it here? No ..No!"

*horrified* "Everyone leave the dungeon right now "

"What Happened Hyung?"

"It's not a C- rank Dungeon The Abyss.

It's the A- Rank dungeon [The Void Abyss ]."

Everyone got horrified just by hearing the name It was the dungeon titled [ Nightmare of Korea] A- Rank dungeon [The Void Abyss]

"Everybody Use your return stone, Now!"

As everybody activated Their stones Seonwu remembered His parents words.

"Hyung I will come after you."

"Ok,.... [Wait].. .Seonwu! No! Don't go in there."

"Sorry Hyung."

Seonwu Throws his return stone at Taejook after activating it , Before Taejook could do anything He was transported out of the dungeon.

*Turns around* *Smirks* "Ok so A Rank Boss [Abyss Dragon] Let's see who is smarter You or me."

"My name is Albeit,Human." The Dragon said Gently

"Surely A ranks can talk."

"Wait... that Ring! You are From Kim Family?"

"Yes,I guess?"

"You are the threat spoken in the prophecy!"

"What Threa.."

*Bam* Before he could talk the Dragon peirced his heart

Seonwu started bleeding heavily

"So in the end i couldn't even take one blow of a A rank."

"Human , Your Power will be a threat!"

The Abyss Dragon's words peirced Seonwu's mind like a spear

"What? ....How?"

"A dying man doesn't need to know."

" The Void Abyss will cease to exist from now on and You will be titled it's destroyer to show respect for your power , Forgive me for using a underhanded trick like this."

"Huh? Respect?Power? Why did I leave the Kim Family? Because I thought I wasn't worthy of being in such a great hunter family, I wanted to return after becoming powerful but I never became powerful."

"But Underhanded tricks? *smiles* you monsters don't even have dignity."

"Human You are the first one I saw that has such courage even while dying so I will answer this question of yours , We monsters also have dignity the dungeons you see are just the surface , what lies ahead is way beyond you expectation ,it was a shame you didn't reach your full potential and couldn't unlock your hidden ability , May You Live a gloryful life next time!"

"So it's time I should die i think."

"Albeit Thank you for make me seem powerful even if it's just this once."

*Sighs* "It doesn't matter [Seonwu], do you have any specific place you want to die in?"

*Schocked* *Hmm* "Minghai river , I want to die there."

"As you wish!"

*Swishhh!*

As Seonwu was teleported to Minghai river he became emotionless ,he started drowning but there was no pain felt because at this moment all he was thinking was , Did he live His Life the right way?

* Thinks* "Sorry mom , dad , Yeonmi , Taengsu, Hyung and everyone else for letting you guys down i couldn't become stron enough."

*closes eyes*

As Seonwu Patiently waited for death that was knocking on his door he finally smiled for his foolishness , how stupid he had been his whole life.

[A bit Later]

"Huh? wasn't I supposed to die? how much longer do i have to feel this pain !"

*Beep* Host has felt every emotion in a span of 1 hour , [The System of Divine Creation] is unlocked

"What?!"

[Detected The Host is in critical condition]

[Using Special Authority of Healing to heal The wounds]

"The Fuxxk Is happening?"

Seonwu Wouldn't believe it, but he saw his wounds healing so he was really confused .

"What is happening to me!? The Fuxxk is this sound!"

[Detected excessive Blood Loss]

[Self-Healing Mode enabled consuming Chaos energy ]

"Ahh! My vision is getting blurry is it a hallucination before dying?"

[ You Will Know When You Wake Up Host :) ]
