Omer-Jin Hoo emerged from the dungeon gate, which had been a place of fear and tension until the very last moment, victorious with his family by his side. Seeing the relief on their faces made all the difficulties worthwhile. The glow of his holy sword was a symbol of his triumph. The rescue operation was a success, and he believed everything would return to normal. When they arrived home, his family eagerly asked Omer what had happened. He recounted in detail his experiences in the depths of the dungeon, how he had survived, how his inner power had manifested, and how he had learned to control it. His mother and sister listened to his story, holding their breath.With the happiness of having his family safe, Omer decided to talk to Ae-Cha to get answers to the questions on his mind. They arranged to have dinner at a luxurious restaurant in Seoul. As the dim lights and the sparkling city view created a romantic atmosphere, Omer got straight to the point: "Ae-Cha, tell me the truth. How were you in that dungeon?" A momentary tension appeared on Ae-Cha's face. Her eyes fixed on the table, she struggled to find the words. "Omer, I don't know how to explain, I don't know where to start," she whispered. Omer immediately understood that this was the important matter she had mentioned before. "So that's what you meant by the important issue," he said. Ae-Cha nodded in agreement, and just as she was about to speak, a commotion suddenly erupted outside.Siren sounds echoed in front of the restaurant, and hundreds of luxury motorcades completely blocked the road. The Deputy President of Korea, emerging from a black, armored VITO, entered the restaurant with his bodyguards. He walked directly to Omer's table and said, "Omer Jin-Hoo, it's a pleasure to meet you. The Korean Government needs to speak with you. Please, would you accompany us?" Surprised and curious, Omer maintained his composure and turned to his bodyguard. "Ignarion," he whispered, "You stay with Ae-Cha and protect her." Ignarion nodded, confirming the order. Without fully understanding what was happening, Omer-Jin Hoo accepted the Deputy President's invitation and got into the armored vehicle. The vehicle, with flashes going off all around, headed toward Yeouido Island and the National Assembly building. A new life, a new adventure awaited him.As Omer-Jin Hoo was driven toward Yeouido Island, the flashes and the roar of the journalists outside were a storm. Everyone was curious about the identity of this mysterious guest. Entering the National Assembly building, the intensity of the flashes increased, but Omer remained calm despite all the chaos. He walked through the wide corridors and finally reached a secret room. The room seemed technologically advanced and extremely secure. The Deputy President respectfully gestured toward the door. "Mr. Omer, I am forbidden to accompany you further. Please, go in."Omer's retainers suddenly grew serious. Antaios whispered, "Master, something might be up. Be careful." Neroth, with his usual impatient attitude, said, "Master, allow me, I will eliminate all of them." Baran and Sigrun retorted, teasing Neroth, "What makes you think you're so important, Neroth?" Thinking to himself, "What is this?" Omer maintained his composure and spoke out loud, "Leave it to me, all of you. Also, Baran, go to Vidar's side and protect my mother and sister together." Baran replied, "As you command," and quickly left.
Stepping into the secret room, Omer saw the Korean President and the leaders of the country's 10 most powerful hunter guilds. The President stood up with a smile. "Welcome, Omer Jin-Hoo. You've made a name for yourself in a short time. Congratulations." Omer was bewildered. "I don't understand. What do you mean? I am just an ordinary citizen." Antaios, voicing Omer's thoughts, smiled and said, "Master, this is no time for jokes." The President continued, "No, you are very special. You are a Z-level hunter."
A look of shock appeared on Omer's face. "A hunter?" The President knew it was time to reveal the truth. "Now it's time to explain the truth to you. There are dungeons all over the world, and countries are hiding this information to prevent public panic. You might wonder, 'then why is everything normal in the regular world?' Dungeons actually exist in the physical world, but 'mundane eyes' cannot perceive them. To see them, your 'mana' must be high. Dungeon entrances can be a gate vibrating at a light frequency that the human brain cannot perceive. Only those who have 'awakened' or 'connected with the system' can decipher this frequency. This is what makes a colossal dungeon gate look like an 'empty lot' to the public. Some awakened individuals can see these dungeons and fight against them. Have you ever wondered why the number of missing people has increased? This is the answer. These awakened individuals are called hunters. Hunters are divided into levels (E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS, Z). Z-level hunters are very valuable. There are four in the world: the American Travis Kane, the Spanish Diego Navarro, the Japanese Hiroto Kurogane, and the Turkish Yiğit Ertürk. Above them are two National-Level hunters, the strongest in the world: the American Troy Vance and the Russian Alexei Dragunov. As Korea, we have not found a Z-level hunter until today. But as of today... Congratulations, Omer-Jin Hoo! You have become Korea's first Z-level hunter. These 10 people you see are the guild leaders of Korea's 10 most powerful hunter guilds, and they are all here for you."The President mentioned that the leaders of the Iron Blood Guild, White Tiger Guild, Black Moon Guild, and other major guilds were present. While trying to process all this, Omer asked, "I see. So, what happened to me isn't just happening to me. Can I form my own guild? What do I need to do?" The President replied, "Since you are a Z-level hunter, you don't need any special conditions to form a guild. However, since you are inexperienced, the idea of forming a guild might not be very logical. The decision is yours."Omer asked with determination, "So, Mr. President, what do you want from me?" The President said, "Korea needs a hunter like you. With a hunter like you, dungeons no longer seem to be a problem, but we still ask for your help. Right now, many countries, especially the US, want you. As the President of Korea, I want you to stay in Korea." Omer, understanding the situation, asked, "Alright, what network do hunters use to communicate?" The President responded, "There is a special global network system for hunters. You are now the 5th Z-level hunter in the world. We will provide you with all the necessary support for communication."Omer was about to make his final decision. "Alright, Presidents. Thank you for coming, but I have decided to form my own guild," he declared. Suddenly, the leader of the White Tiger Guild said, "We offer 50 billion Won, and you will have the most luxurious amenities in Seoul." Then the leader of the Northern Sea's Claw Guild raised the offer, "We offer 100 billion Won!" Sigrun and Antaios suggested that Omer should consider these offers, but Omer was resolute. "Thank you for your offers, but I have decided to form my own guild. If you want to propose an alliance, we can consider it." Omer left the room without waiting any longer. A new guild, a new life, and new adventures After leaving the assembly building, Omer faced the realities of his new life. Despite possessing the immense power that came with being a Z-level hunter, he had no savings. He needed financial power to establish a guild. He remembered the Blade of the Blood Demon he had acquired from the dungeon. It wasn't an ordinary weapon; it was a legendary artifact. He decided to sell it. He showcased the dagger in a secret hunter's market and quickly found a buyer. The dagger was sold for a whopping 50 million Won. With this money, he purchased a dazzling residence in one of Seoul's most prestigious areas. This residence was to be the headquarters of his new guild. Everything was ready: the building, the equipment, and even potential members (his loyal soldiers). The only thing missing was a name.
Meanwhile, he received a dinner invitation from Ae-Cha. They met again in a cozy setting. This time, Ae-Cha was determined to tell him everything. "Omer," she began, "I'm going to tell you everything. I'm an A-level hunter, but unfortunately, I don't earn much. I have to work, so I've been working constantly. I was entering dungeons and fighting for my life. I wanted to tell you this, but I couldn't." Omer smiled, indicating he understood. "Don't worry, I know everything now. But I'm curious about one thing: why was an A-level hunter in the Aldwulf dungeon?"
Ae-Cha took a deep breath and continued her explanation. "I'm a healer, and healers are very rare. I was there to support the team. It was supposedly an A-level dungeon, but we later realized it was Z-level. Z-level dungeons had only appeared twice before in Korea. We managed to clear them with help from American and Japanese hunters, but the Korean government was left with a huge debt. But now we have you. I hope you don't leave," she said with a warm smile. Omer was touched by her heartfelt wish. "I understand. Well, can you suggest a guild name for me? I've prepared everything else, but I can't find a name."At these words, Antaios chuckled, "My King, you've only secured a residence." Ae-Cha joined in the laughter, "I guess he's right, you need a lot more things." At that moment, Ignarion enthusiastically said, "My King, we will be your assistants, just form the guild!" Sigrun couldn't resist teasing Ignarion, "Hope you don't accidentally cut people," she said with a laugh.Omer interrupted their playful banter and took Ae-Cha's hand. "Alright, Ae-Cha, I think I need your help a little," he said, smiling. Ae-Cha's eyes lit up, and she replied, "Of course, baby, I'm always here for you." At that moment, Sigrun, Antaios, Ignarion, and Neroth all shouted in unison, "What? What did she say?" Ae-Cha blushed with embarrassment, "I-I'm so sorry! I think it just slipped out, I'm so embarrassed," she stammered. Omer, still holding her hand, smiled and said, "It's alright, baby. I guess we're even since it just slipped out for me too." Then, he turned to his retainers and gave a firm command, "Stop chattering and return to your dimension. I will need you." They all responded in unison, "As you command, My King," and vanished. Antaios and Ignarion, chuckling to themselves, whispered, "I think we made our King angry." The new journey for Omer and Ae-Cha had begun, intertwined with both adventure and romance.
