E-class hunters do similar work and earn similar amounts of money no matter which guild they work for.
This was because their main job was as miners or collectors.
The contract system itself was structured so that they received incentives in proportion to how much they worked, so in the end, regardless of the guild, they could only earn money in proportion to how much they worked.
However, the reason they wanted to join a large guild if possible was ultimately ‘safety’.
While the mining team was mining magic stones inside the dungeon.
While the collection team dismantles the dead demons.
How well can the same affiliation attack force protect them in front of them?
That was an important task for the lowest level hunters.
In that sense, Assistant Lim was initially very confused, but eventually signed the contract that Su-ho presented.
It was natural.
He had already personally seen Suho use his shadow soldiers to fight, and he had long noticed that Suho was different from other hunters.
Besides, Suho is not the type of person who would use him like a consumable and then throw him away like the big guilds do.
‘They say the ransom is the highest among E-class ones, so I have to do it no matter what.’
After signing the contract, Assistant Lim shook hands with Suho, who would become his future guild leader.
“Then I ask for your help in the future, Suho.”
[Youngest, you speak too little. I will personally take charge of the five elements and enforce discipline… …!]
“Okay, please take care of it, Guild Leader!”
Assistant Lim, who had been grabbed by Ber’s collar, hurriedly corrected his words.
Suho chuckled.
“Yes. Please take care of me in the future, Assistant Professor Lim, no, Brother Do-gyun.”

“Then please take care of it.”
“Yes, sir.”
Eugene Ho ordered his secretary to begin preparing to lease one of his buildings to the Guardian Guild.
“Originally, we were going to tear it down and remodel it, so we left it empty. But if we build a new one, it’ll take too much time, right? Even if it’s a little shabby, let’s just use it for the time being.”
“Yes. Thank you for that, Uncle.”
“Yeah. Anyway… … .”
Yoo Jin-ho didn’t say out loud that he would probably write it down for a while.
If Suho inherited his father’s talent, it would only be a matter of time before he starts making money.
‘The important thing is not the building. We won’t be accepting any more guild members anyway.’
And that thought was correct.
For Suho, a vast shadow dungeon already existed beneath his feet.
“But Suho.”
Eugene looked at Suho’s face seriously.
“I’ve gathered all three guild members, and I’ll take care of the paperwork, so everything is ready. But the most important thing is missing.”
“That… what is it?”
At Yoo Jin-ho’s serious gaze, a serious expression appeared on Su-ho’s face as well.
“Your qualifications.”
“Qualifications?”
Suho’s expression became serious at the word ‘qualification’.
Eugene Ho was the only person who knew his father’s strength.
His eyes seemed to say this.
-Are you truly qualified to lead the legion?
Gulp.
Suho waited for Yoo Jinho’s next words with a more serious look in his eyes than ever before.
Eugene Ho opened his mouth.
“Yes. I mean your qualifications. Only hunters who have cleared dungeons more than 20 times can become guild leaders.”
“… … Ah, that’s it.”
Suho nodded with a dejected expression.
In any case, he was just a beginner hunter with only a few field dungeon experiences.
‘I’m going to be quite busy from now on.’
Before receiving the guild office from Eugene Ho, I thought I had to take care of this first.

“You founded a guild?”
Eshil received an unexpected offer from Suho, who had stopped by the Shadow Dungeon.
“Yes. You are also a member of my guild. From now on, you will enter the dungeon together with me.”
“Me too? I’m not even human, how is that possible?”
“That’s why I came. Let me just take a picture of you. I need to get an ID card for you as a foreign worker.”
“Foreign workers?”
Eshil tilted her head with a puzzled expression.
“Okay, smile.”
“Huh, huh?”
Click.
Suho took a picture of Eshil’s face with his cell phone.
“Is it the end?”
“Yeah. That’s it. You can fill in the rest with the app.”
Suho turned on the photo editing app and edited Eshil’s face to make it look as ‘human’ as possible.
‘It’s fortunate that Eshil looks quite human for a demon. He doesn’t even have horns.’
Of course, there were some minor peculiarities, such as their ears being slightly more pointed than those of humans, but those were issues that could be overlooked as being due to the Hunter’s own skills.
‘There are hunters who can turn into beasts, but this is just cuteness.’
However, among the hunters with extremely sensitive senses, there might have been some who noticed that Essil was not a human being.
‘That’s something that can be solved as long as we don’t run into each other.’
But that wasn’t a problem either.
Anyway, my guild will continue to consist of only three people.
“Oooh! What is this? I’m getting prettier! Could this be my true self…?!”
“Yeah. No.”
Essil was beyond impressed by the highly developed correction app of humans and was even moved by it.
Even though Suho didn’t do anything particularly special, he benefited greatly from the app’s basic correction effects.
“Hmm. Okay. It’s a bit exotic. Since the concept is mixed race foreign worker, this should be fine.”
“Ahh!”
When Suho turned off his phone, Eshil, who was looking at his photos with interest next to him, licked her lips as if she felt regret.
And then he looked at Suho with a secret look in his eyes.
“Suho, do you have something like this… … .”
“You want a cell phone? You’ll have to earn money to buy one.”
“Oh! Are you giving me money too?”
“Of course. Since you’re now a member of the guild, you’ll earn money based on how much you hunt. In return, you’ll also buy the meat you’ll eat with your own money.”
“okay!”
It was Essil who suddenly became enthusiastic.
“But there’s one more guild member? Who is that one? Is he strong?”
“Hmm.”
At those words, Suho hesitated for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“No, it’s really weak.”
“Huh? How weak is it?”
“If you hit me, I might die. So you should never bully me?”
“… … Is that all?”
Essil was confused.

The guild leader’s qualification of having cleared dungeons 20 times was not really that great.
Dungeons were springing up all over the world right now, and hunters were running around like crazy, conquering those dungeons.
They say it’s to make money, but at the same time, if they leave one dungeon unattended, it could lead to a huge disaster.
So the role of the guild leader who leads the hunters was important.
If someone with no dungeon experience were to lead them, valuable talent would die in vain, and that would lead to a major disaster.
Anyway, in order to fill that number, Suho took Im Do-gyun and Eshil along and started to seriously attack the dungeon.
The only regret is that the level does not increase much during the process.
‘The dungeons are too easy.’
It was inevitable.
The three-person raid party consisting of Suho, Eshil, and Im Do-gyun were not qualified to enter the dangerous dungeon because their level was too low.
Because of this, the only dungeons they could enter were either dungeons that were almost finished conquering, or field dungeons.
The level of the demons inside was not enough to provide Suho with experience.
But that was Soo-ho’s position, and it was different for Im Do-gyun.
“Eek! Hey, Eshil! Save me!”
“… … You’re really weak.”
Eshil looked at Im Do-gyun with genuine pity, who hid behind her whenever he saw the demons.
Then, when I turned my gaze to the side again, there was a puppy dog that, unlike Im Do-gyun, was rushing at the enemies with incredibly brave eyes.
“Groan! Groan!”
[The King of Beasts, the Fang Monarch, nods happily, saying that Gray is growing up to be a manly man today.] [Gray Lv.17]
fang-toothed wolf
Separately from Suho’s level-up, Gray was growing steadily.
Of course, half of the experience points Gray gains are… … .
Tiring.
[‘Pet: Gray’ offers 50% of its experience points as a sacrifice to its owner.]
Even if it was an experience that didn’t reach the liver, the experience was shared with Suho.
But this was definitely beneficial in the long run.
As Gray becomes stronger, more and more experience points will be shared while hunting.
[Kihahaha! Our Kkureung is the best! Let’s continue to work hard and offer more sacrifices to our Lord!] [Verga uses ‘Skill: Harsh Command’.] [‘Skill: Harsh Command’ increases Gray’s stats by 50%.] [‘Skill: Harsh Command’ causes Gray to be cursed with madness as a side effect.]
“Gurgling… … !”
Under Ber’s harsh command, Gray howled.
All the demons laughed at that cry.
Until it hits you.
Wagjak!
“… … !”
Gray, no matter how small, is a worthy successor to Rakan.
It was a predator that instinctively selected and bit only the ‘weaknesses’ of its enemies.
[The King of Beasts, the Fang Lord, closes his eyes tightly at Gray’s cruelty.]
There were males among the demons too.
“Kkuuuung!”
Wagjak!

Hyunmu Guild’s Manager Lee Young-ho has been feeling very uneasy lately.
To be exact, it would have been from ‘that day’.
The day I returned from Ajin Soft after being harshly rejected by CEO Yoo Jin-ho.
‘Let’s just wait and see. I’ll definitely pay you back someday.’
Manager Lee Young-ho, who had no choice but to do this.
The Hyunmu Guild isn’t as big as the Baekho Guild or the Grim Reaper Guild, but it’s still a fairly well-known large guild in Korea.
However, Ajin Soft was also a large corporation with enormous influence in the political and business world.
To begin with, our industries are different.
No matter how much I racked my brain, I couldn’t come up with a proper way to retaliate against CEO Yoo Jin-ho.
‘If I were a hunter like you, there would be many ways to vent my anger.’
The simplest thing to do was to solve it with ‘force’.
Even killing was allowed inside the dungeon for hunters.
Of course, it was illegal to commit murder openly, but no one could be held accountable for murders that occurred in dungeons because there was no evidence.
“… … Ah, what is that guy doing now?”
Given this situation, it was only natural that Manager Lee Young-ho’s anger would be directed at Seong Su-ho.
“Seongsuho, find out what he’s been up to these days. I heard that CEO Yoo Jinho was definitely going to start a guild.”
“Yes! I understand!”
“Hurry up, Inma!”
Bam-!
“Ouch! Yes! I’m going in now!”
A subordinate who was hit on the back of the head by Manager Lee Young-ho urgently accessed Hunter Net.
This employee was the main culprit who flew a drone camera at Seong Su-ho’s house ‘that day’.
‘It was something the manager told me to do in the first place, so why are you taking your anger out on me, really… … .’
An employee who was gritting his teeth and tracing the records of Seong Su-ho suddenly stopped and looked back at Manager Lee Young-ho.
“Huh? Manager, that Seongsuho guy… … .”
“Why? Did you find anything?”
“I guess you haven’t been able to create a guild yet because you don’t meet the requirements? It seems like you’re busy running dungeons these days to build up your experience.”
“okay?”
The moment he heard those words, Manager Lee Young-ho’s eyes sparkled.
“Find out which dungeon to enter next.”
