Chapter 2: I Made 1 Billion Won
[Connecting to "Hunter Inventory."]
[Please choose a nickname.]
When I came to my senses, these messages were floating before me.
Hunter Inventory.
I'd heard about it before.
It wasn't some kind of subspace storage.
Apparently, it was a community that only Awakened Hunters could access.
"God."
[Nickname unavailable.]
Obviously.
"Tch."
If it had worked, I could've sold that nickname for at least a million won.
"DivineMan."
I chose it in the sense of a divine person.
Most people would probably interpret it as "newcomer," since the Korean words sounded similar.
Whatever.
[Nickname successfully created.]
[Connecting to Hunter Inventory.]
It actually worked.
Maybe duplicate nicknames were allowed.
[Entering Free Board.]
If I wanted to understand the atmosphere of Hunter Inventory, the Free Board was the first place I needed to study.

People with fire abilities have crazy firepower, and summoning-types can even auto-hunt... I don't really know what's good about waterㅠㅠ The firepower doesn't seem that great either. It mostly seems useful for washing and drinking... It's A-rank, but maybe it's not that good?ㅠㅠ
·
A-rank.
A dream rank everyone in the world would envy.
Of course, S-rank existed above it.
But S-rank Hunters were considered people genuinely chosen by heaven.
Maybe that was why most S-rank Hunters were said to be arrogant bastards.
Still, this guy called WaterPuppy wasn't much better.
"How dare you humblebrag?"
Today was the meaningful day when I'd Awakened as a Hunter and earned ten billion...
No.
The day I'd rescued Lady Shin Saimdang.
And the first thing I saw after entering Hunter Inventory was this shameless post?
What terrible luck.
Sure enough, the comments were already exploding.
·
If you're A-rank, you can probably reach at least Floor 50. What kind of spoiled nonsense is this?
·
·
This is definitely a humblebrag.

Blocked.

As a proud member of Hunter Inventory, I couldn't simply stand by and watch.
At that moment, I thought of a brilliant way to take revenge on WaterPuppy and soothe my comrades' wounded hearts.
With one hand, I opened the camera app on my smartphone.
With the other, I grabbed one bundle of 50,000-won bills.
Click!
Then I posted a reply under WaterPuppy's thread.

I'm like E-rank? or somethingㅠㅠ My ability seems kinda weird tooㅠㅠ Maybe that's why I don't earn much... Today I only made this much hahaㅠㅠ

WaterPuppy, since you're A-rank, you must earn way more than this, right? ^^* I'm sooo jealous~~~

"Why does it feel like years of indigestion just disappeared? Buuurp. Wow, I haven't even eaten anything, but I'm burping."
I was feeling hungry anyway.
Maybe I should visit the café in front of my house.
"Hehehe."
Somewhere in Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Lee Geonho.
A man in his early thirties and an A-rank Hunter.
He had recently Awakened as an A-rank Hunter and felt like he was flying through the sky.
Shaaaaa.
He turned off the shower and stood in front of the mirror, posing at what he believed was an irresistibly attractive angle.
"Geonho, why are you so amazing? You're handsome, you Awakened, and you're even A-rank. Huh? Answer me. Hahahaha!"
Immediately after Awakening, he'd quit his company job, taken out a loan, and rented a two-bedroom apartment in Seoul.
He was buried in debt because of it.
But that was fine.
He was an A-rank Hunter.
"Ahahaha! Look at that. Someone's already jealous of me."
After drying himself off and checking his smartphone, Lee Geonho's grin stretched from ear to ear.
Nothing boosts your self-esteem like bragging.
The post already had hundreds of views.
And malicious comments filled with envy and jealousy kept appearing one after another.
"Hah. Look at these bastards getting jealous."
There was even a reply.

[Wow, I'm So Jealous You're A-rankㅠㅠ]
His shoulders naturally rose with pride.
He immediately opened the reply.
The grin that had nearly reached his ears slowly rotted away.
"This fucking bastard...!"
One hundred 50,000-won bills.
Five million won in cash!
And, whether intentionally or not, several identical bundles were barely visible in the corner of the picture.
His stomach boiled with anger.
Lee Geonho opened the comment section, intending to leave an insult.
But...
·
You're incredible, hyung.
·
·
What floor of the Tower are you on?
·
·
Looks like you met a Golden Goblin or something. Congrats.
·
·
Damn~
·
·
Is it even possible for an E-rank to make 50 million won in one day?
·
┗ You really don't know anything, huh? There are ways~
┗ It's possible if you work haaaaard enough. Like the comment above said, Golden Goblins exist too.
I'm buried in debt.
Some measly E-rank had apparently earned 50 million won overnight.
Even the users of Hunter Inventory, also called "HunVen," were being extremely friendly toward DivineMan.
Wait.
He typed a comment.
·
Didn't you borrow money from some loan shark or something? Haha.
·
Then someone replied.
┗ What loan shark lends someone 50 million won? LMAO.
Th-That's true too...
Absolute defeat.
His hands and feet trembled.
Clack, clack, clack, clack!
His upper and lower teeth repeatedly collided.
"Damn it!"
In a burst of rage, he threw his smartphone.
Smash!
Countless cracks spread across the screen like a spiderweb.
"Ah, shit! I bought that phone last week!"
Then he remembered it was tied to a two-year contract.
"Aaaaaaargh!"
What was that bastard's nickname again?
"DivineMan? Just you wait. I'll get revenge!"
Lee Geonho wasn't just hot-tempered.
