Chapter 46
“Ulrim, are you serious?”
“Of course, of course.”
I led him to the Hunter Association.
A place Ha Gyuhyuk rarely visited. Only new Hunters and those who regularly cleared Dungeons came here.
For someone who only entered Dungeons for byproduct collection side jobs, this place felt quite distant.
“But wouldn’t that expose you too much, Ulrim?”
“Why? Do you think it would be troublesome for you if people found out who I am?”
“No, it’s just that so many people would know and like you… ah, no, that’s not it. If people liked you, that would be a good thing, right? Why am I saying such things?”
Ha Gyuhyuk wore a serious expression, as if he didn’t understand his own heart.
Thinking he might tear his hair out at any moment, I gently patted his back.
It wasn’t even a big deal, yet whenever I tried to do something, he worried first.
I would be the only existence in this child’s life that he wouldn’t need to worry about.
“For people to want to join a Guild, there need to be incentives. People and money.”
Money was something I could manage one way or another.
If I started spending recklessly beyond this point, I’d have to do short-term karma farming again, but it was still manageable.
I wasn’t going to make the Guild that Ha Gyuhyuk would create the wealthiest place in the world—just enough to tempt others.
But humans had their limits.
Relying solely on Kim Gyuwun was too risky for a fledgling Guild to handle.
‘What if Kim Gyuwun gets cast elsewhere and leaves? We’d all be left behind like orphans.’
‘Promoting a Guild with a D-rank Guild Master relying on just one A-rank Hunter seems…’
Humans judged others far too easily by a single letter of the alphabet.
They never bothered to look at what talents lay within or what remarkable things someone could accomplish.
But I had no intention of overturning the ways humans had lived for so long.
‘Rather, I just need to become a position they cannot ignore.’
I strode forward confidently and crossed the threshold of the Association.
Pushing through the crowd that had gathered as usual, I approached the Hunter standing at the new registration desk.
“Excuse me.”
As I spoke gently, the Hunter at that station flinched in surprise.
A beautiful woman with short hair and a gentle impression. She reminded me of Tasha’s human form.
“…Ah.”
Until now, I had hidden my presence, but now I had revealed myself. It was only natural.
From her perspective, someone had suddenly popped out of nowhere.
“I’m here to register as a new Hunter.”
Once I cleared my first Dungeon, it would become public knowledge that I was a Constellation anyway.
Until then, I planned to live as a human. As a promising newcomer who would shake this land.
“Ah, yes. Just follow that person over there.”
The black-haired man waiting for me gestured toward me bluntly.
As I followed him, I glanced back slightly.
I smiled toward Ha Gyuhyuk, who was watching me with an anxious expression.
Even then, with anxiety etched across his features, the moment I smiled, Ha Gyuhyuk’s expression softened once more.
So easy to handle. That’s what makes him adorable.
‘You’ve got this!’
Ha Gyuhyuk mouthed the words silently, clenching his fist slightly for emphasis.
Well, if I mustered my strength, that would be a problem.
I turned my gaze forward and continued walking, pulling up the profile of the man towering more than a head above me.
[ Dan Yibum (S-Rank) ]
Just another common S-Rank Hunter.
His abilities must be considerable.
It’s rather curious that he’s helping with new Hunter registrations at the Hunter Association instead of clearing Dungeons.
Even in a world where S-Rank Hunters are commonplace, clearing one more Dungeon would be far more worthwhile than what he’s doing here.
This era certainly has no shortage of fascinating individuals.
“Please fill out this form for now.”
“Of course.”
While my hand filled in the personal information, I rapidly scanned through his records.
A Hunter who awakened at the remarkably young age of nine, drawing the world’s attention from childhood.
Thanks to his exceptional combat instincts, his Dungeon clear success rate ranked among the highest.
However, he was expelled from his Guild due to his arrogant personality.
[ Tasha: I know plenty like that. In another world, one was working as a Grand Duke or something. ]
[ Tasha: I’ve sponsored a child like that before. ]
[ Franson: He died after saving a princess being hunted by monsters. ]
[ Franson: I still remember how much Tasha cried back then. ]
[ Se-um: And that princess was my client, wasn’t she? I remember. ]
Yes, I’ve encountered this type quite often.
Blessed with extraordinary talent, yet burdened with an equally formidable personality—a person left with no one by their side.
In such cases, they either leave behind countless Achievements and exit the stage in solitude, or they meet someone who completely transforms them and achieve redemption.
While I choose clients worth cultivating, Tasha chooses clients who can find happiness by meeting someone.
[ Se-um: When Tasha logs in, take a look at this one. I have a feeling they might be worth it. It reminds me of that person back then. ]
[ Tasha: That one was a Grand Duke back then… but this time it’s an S-Rank Hunter. ]
[ Tasha: Of course, since this is a different dimensional timeline, it’s scientifically impossible for that Grand Duke to have been reincarnated and reborn. ]
[ Franson: Why do you create romance for yourself only to destroy it with your own hands…? ]
My thoughts exactly.
Just moments ago, recalling that dead Grand Duke client had dampened the mood considerably.
I deliberately averted my gaze from the chat and handed the completed form to Yibum.
He entered it into the machine.
“Please wait a moment. Yun… Ulrim Yun.”
“Yes.”
[ Constellation ‘Se-um’ purchases a ‘temporary identity’ in the 34R7h World. (Country: Korea) ]
[ Identity created. (Name: Ulrim) ]
The moment I utilized the Constellation System, a confirmation sound emanated from the machine.
This is South Korea.
I generate a resident registration number for Ulrim, crafting appropriate education and career history to match.
Then I simply overlay that information onto the world’s records.
Ulrim, twenty-eight years old.
The cover story: I came to register after sensing the flow of mana for the first time at a one-time Gate that opened two days ago.
“Please come this way.”
He led me toward the ability testing chamber.
“Generally, ninety percent of people awaken to a maximum of A-rank. There’s a ten percent probability of awakening to a rank above A-rank.”
“I see.”
“After Hunter verification is complete, there’s mandatory education that must be completed following the registration process… ah, I see you’ve already completed the education.”
“Yes.”
I cast a brainwashing spell quickly.
A mere S-rank mental barrier couldn’t withstand my magic.
If they wanted to last even a second, they’d need to bring along a 9-class mage, a reincarnator, or someone with regression abilities.
“Please inject your mana into this device. As powerfully as you can manage, if you would.”
He pointed to a small machine.
Back in my time, they’d brutishly shove you into a mock dungeon for measurement—the world has certainly improved.
I stared at the machine intently.
It was a small box, barely large enough to fit a single hand.
Now, what to do.
“At full power?”
“Yes.”
“I see….”
If I went at full power, the Earth would shatter.
Dan Yibum had even advised that I’d likely reach A-rank at minimum, and it was better to receive a higher grade if possible.
I already knew that well enough without being told.
“Very well then.”
I closed my eyes and inserted my hand into the machine.
I adjusted my mana slowly. The energy of this land that drifted around me began to resonate gradually.
When a Constellation exerts power, the stars recognize it.
Even if all living creatures dwelling upon this land remain ignorant.
Ignorant beings in a land unaware that a god stands right beside them.
Only this star and earth know that a god has descended upon them.
I released the power I had carefully gathered.
“….”
Yibum’s body jerked violently.
Naturally. The machine had been completely obliterated.
I contained the pale purple light emanating from my hand.
This place is the origin of the star where I was born and raised.
The star offered its essence to the Constellation who was both its child and now its master, extending the greatest of welcomes.
I hadn’t expected things to go quite this far.
I turned back to him with an expressionless face.
“So, what rank am I now?”
“That is….”
“Oh, you mentioned the results would be sent to my home, right?”
He’d probably never seen a scene like this before.
This device was fundamentally designed to withstand the mana of the world’s strongest Hunter, after all.
So I broke it.
To make it perfectly clear who had appeared.
I smiled brightly and lowered my head.
“Then, take care.”
Without hesitation, I left my seat and hurried toward where Ha Gyuhyuk was waiting.
Bewildered gazes trailed behind me.
Looks like I’ve managed to sway one more person.
