Chapter 1: Reincarnation
It's been 14 hours since I've been here. I don't know what happened to me or what caused it but I was sure I died.
But moments later after my death I was suddenly here. This strange place I'm unfamiliar with.
This is not my dorm, and this is not the city I was living in. And I'm perfectly sure this is not my body.
If I'm correct, which I am then I guess I was reincarnated into this person's body.
If I'm to articulate this person's features then it's safe to say that he is of asian descent. More likely Korean or Japanese.
He has the typical black hair color but his haircut is different, unlike the generic hairstyle of manga and manhwa characters all having the same hair-style, he's sporting a wolf-cut which I must say perfectly fits my face.
But I do have a complaint though. As much as I like the face and my look, the height wasn't really doing it much for me.
Previously I was around 182 cm or 6 ft or so but looking at myself I think I'm just around 170 cm, its relatively short for my standard but I guess it had to do.
If there's one thing I'm grateful for in my reincarnation that would be for giving me a rich and good looking body.
Despite my, unpreferred height, my body is actually quite toned.
He is also quirky. He had an interesting hobby of cosplaying and collecting equipment.
In his house there were a lot of weapons, and I mean realistic weapons.
Some of them looked like your typical medieval weapons and some looked like they were straight up from fantasy.
Sharp swords, daggers, bows, armors, shields even gauntlet and scythe. There were a variety of them all around the house, he even had an entire room dedicated for them.
There were also many pictures of him, framed and proudly mounted on the walls. Pictures of him cosplaying with those weapons and equipment with other cosplayers.
By the amount of expensive weapons he has and the big house he is living in, he must have a pretty good job.
As I was pondering, I was taken out of my reverie when the familiar sound of the doorbell rang. I stood up from my couch and walked towards my door.
I grabbed the door knob and twisted it with my arm and pulled it open.
The figure of two men in suits was revealed. Dressed sharply and wearing an ID with a sign Korean Hunter Association boldly printed on it.
'Is this guy a member of some eccentric club or something,' I thought to myself.
"Is this the residence of Mr. Lee Baek Cheon?" The visitor said.
It seems that my name is Lee Baek Cheon. So that checks out where I am, I got reincarnated into korean man's body.
"Yes, this is his residence. I'm him." I said.
"We would like to congratulate you on your rank up as hunter. You are now officially C-rank Hunter." After handing over a piece of card-like license.
"Have a good day." the men in suits bowed briefly and said their goodbyes leaving behind Lee Baek.
Lee Baek looked at the card handed to him and thought.
It was all coming together. The obscene amount of weapons and armor in his house, his weird cosplaying friends, and even this so called Hunter-license.
It was all making sense. He's a Hunter! An Awakened! Awakener or whatever!
"Wait a minute…" Suddenly a thought crashed into him.
"Could it be? No, it has to be," Then he murmured.
"System."
And suddenly a floating blue screen appeared before him. A gasp came out of his mouth from the pleasant surprise.

That is a surprisingly simple system interface. But I won't complain, I don't like to complicate things too much so this is just right for me.
Speaking of Monarch and Hunter it seems that I am at Solo Leveling verse. If I'm correct that is.
But I haven't heard nor read any Monarch named Monarch of Immortality and Steel so I guess this is my cheat.
Let's take a look.
~~~~~~~
Immortality (???)
-Regeneration: The ability to heal from any wound, even fatal ones, instantaneously. However the host will still feel pain.
-Eternal Life: Immunity to aging, diseases, poisons and soul damage.
~~~~~~~~~
So it's basically what it says. Immortality. Whether it be aging or regeneration, I am never dying.
I don't really know how to feel about that. In my opinion one of the things that makes humanity beautiful is its fragility.
Due to the small lifespan we had, we tend to go all out to experience all sorts of things before our time runs out.
And that's beautiful. It's admirable.
But immortality. It robs me of that experience. The sense of my impending death is gone which would make me apathetic towards death.
And also it would rob me of the excitement of life.
But I guess I could make up for that. This world is after all the world of dungeons and hunters.
I could harvest that adrenaline somewhere around fighting them but it would be short lived. That's fine, I could always find some way to entertain myself.
Now how about this next Class Skill.
~~~~~~
Ruler of Steel (???)
-Metal Control: The power to manipulate metal objects, reshaping them or controlling them telekinetically.
- Body of Steel: The ability to transform their body into steel, making them impervious to physical damage.
Note: Due to the low level of the Host, you can only transform parts of your body partially.
~~~~~
The same as my Immortality as well. It's pretty self explanatory.
This is actually really good. I'm basically Magneto with this power, but more buffed and more adrenaline fueled Magneto.
I especially like the Body of Steel part. It's like having a final form.
Imagine fighting someone and beating them senseless and saying 'this isn't even my final form'
Good lord, that would be so cool. I can't wait to level up more and unlock more skills.
