"If the story cannot bind him, perhaps greed can."– A Constellation of the Bureau
The sky above Seoul flickered like a dying screen.
Blue system lights blinked unnaturally as the Star Stream twisted on itself, struggling to compress a narrative it did not author.
The man who walked beneath that fractured sky didn't notice the whispers.
Or maybe he did.
He simply didn't care.
Agent 47 passed between the husks of skyscrapers like a phantom made of precision—his white shirt crisp, his red tie unmoved by the wind, his suit coat flaring slightly behind every motionless step.
His Silverballers gleamed against the ruined concrete.
And above him, the constellations argued.
[Constellation Council Feed – SECRET CHANNEL]
💬 "The system cannot locate his modifier!"
💬 "Who is he sponsored by?!"
💬 "No sponsor. No modifier. No channel."
💬 "He is an anomaly. A loophole in our domain."
💬 "Then let the incarnations kill him for us."

"What the hell is this?" Yoo Joonghyuk muttered, voice cold as steel.
He stood before the system screen, eyes narrowing at the bounty window.
Kim Dokja paled beside him. "They actually issued a kill quest on him..."
Yoo Sangah, seated near the back, whispered, "Can they even do that?"
"They did," Dokja replied. "And look how high the reward is."
Joonghyuk didn't reply, but his fingers twitched on his sword hilt.
He had never seen a bounty like this. Not once in 1863 regressions.
[Outside — Seoul Streets]
47 tilted his head as the sky shimmered.
[You have been marked by a Bounty Scenario.]
Objective: Kill or Disable You
Active Participants: 2,493
He stared.
The number ticked up.
2,498… 2,501… 2,510…
Sukuna chuckled darkly in his mind.
"Bounty, huh? That's new. You finally pissed 'em off, Baldy."
47 said nothing. But his footsteps slowed.
He reached into his coat.
From Matter Creation, a single object emerged — a piece of black cloth.
He wrapped it around his knuckles slowly. Tight. With intent.
"I'd say you should be honored. You broke their little storybook so hard, they're begging the ants to kill the hammer."
47's system pinged again.
[You are now being tracked by 12 Incarnations.]
[Hostile intent detected.]
[Stat Scaling Adjusted — Adaptive Instinct: Passive Buff Triggered]Reaction time accelerated.
Awareness sharpened.
Peripheral motion detection enhanced.
Then they came.
The first bounty hunters.
Five men.
All armed.
All armored.
One of them yelled across the broken street, "Hey! You the bald one?"
47 didn't reply.
They drew weapons. Guns. Batons. Rusted knives.
The one in front pointed a crude machete. "15k coins if we kill you! Don't move, freak."
47 checked his wrist.
No watch.
Just timing.
Then he moved.
Fast.
The Silverballers were already drawn.
Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang.
Six shots.
Six kills.
All before the last man realized the first had died.
💬 "WHAT KIND OF AIM WAS THAT?!"
💬 "WHO MADE THIS NPC?!"
💬 "AIMBOT! HAX!"
💬 "No modifier, no sponsor, AND no mercy."
💬 "Give me popcorn. I'm watching this till the next arc."
47 lowered his arms.
Sukuna's voice slithered through again.
"Keep walking, Baldy. This is just the warmup."
"Let them come."
