Chapter 2
Episode 2: Can I See This Too? (1)
Do you know what lottery winners do first?
The answer is to confirm that they’ve actually won.
Dohyun was no different.
Ding—
A sound like a bank queue number chimed, and when Dohyun approached the counter that called his name, a Hunter Association guide who had finished the examination spoke to him kindly.
“Dohyun, your points have been confirmed. Congratulations on your awakening.”
“Ah. Thank you.”
“Your awakening registration is complete. For now, please enter through the left entrance and wait in the Auditorium.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Dohyun answered without hesitation and headed toward the indicated location, and soon the Auditorium the guide had mentioned came into view.
As I sat down in the Auditorium as instructed, I could feel my heart pounding so hard it seemed to shake my chest.
‘It’s real.’
I really did awaken.
Even though I’d completed the tutorial, I thought it was real, but who knows what might happen.
What if I’d gone crazy from job hunting stress, watched Hunter videos, and was just dreaming? Such doubts were inevitable.
After all, I was someone who didn’t exercise regularly and had no connection to awakening whatsoever, so it was only natural to be suspicious.
But when the guide confirmed my points, all those doubts melted away like snow.
Only now did it truly sink in.
And that meant, in other words.
『Dohyun』
『Trait: Analysis [Ex]』
『Skills』
▶「Dagger Mastery [F]」
『Stats』
▶「Strength: 3」
▶「Agility: 5」
▶「Endurance: 3」
▶「Mana: 1」
『Points』
▶「P: 100」
▶「AP (Analysis Points): 100」
‘Everything I’m seeing right now is real.’
It’s definitely like winning the lottery.
No, it far surpasses a lottery win.
If I had to compare it, it would be like winning the Powerball in the United States.
That’s how Dohyun felt.
Who would have thought I’d become a Hunter?
And one with the world’s only ability to see a status window at that!
Just thinking about it filled me with an excitement I could barely contain.
Most of the people in the Auditorium wore expressions similar to mine—flushed with exhilaration—but regardless, I was different from them.
As the reality of it sank in, I belatedly noticed a new column labeled “Points” in my status window.
‘I understand regular Points, but what exactly is this Analysis Point?’
I knew Points dropped from defeating Monsters, but this Analysis Point was genuinely unfamiliar to me.
From the name alone, I could infer it was related to Analysis, but no detailed explanation was provided.
The moment curiosity seized me, the almighty Analysis responded as if it had anticipated my confusion, offering an explanation to my ignorant self.
『AP』
▶Analysis Points obtained by successfully using Analysis to analyze something.
▶By consuming these Points, you can acquire or interpret what you’ve analyzed.
‘What?’
So then.
The moment I tried to view the Analysis entry in my status window, information surfaced just the same.
『Trait: Analysis [Ex]』
▶You can analyze all things.
▶By consuming AP (Analysis Points), you can make what you’ve analyzed your own or interpret it.
Information that emerged as expected.
I had already experienced and understood this through the Goblin, but seeing it written out like this made it feel far more extraordinary.
Somehow, I felt as though I’d obtained an absurdly powerful ability.
Then, I noticed several people gathered in the Auditorium.
When I first entered, my heart was pounding so hard I hadn’t paid much attention, but now I could see there were more than I’d realized.
Two women and three men including myself.
Had five people awakened just today?
Well, this was the Seoul Branch, so it made sense there would be many.
Or perhaps, considering Seoul’s population, this was actually quite few?
As I turned my gaze away from such idle musings, a young man about my age sitting nearby caught my eye.
He sat quietly in his chair, yet his expression and gestures were visibly flushed with excitement.
Well, having just awakened, he had every right to be.
I was the same, after all.
But as I observed that man, characters suddenly erupted across my vision, disrupting it.
『Yongchan Kim』
『Trait: Swordsman [F]』
『Skills』
▶「×」
『Stats』
▶「Strength: 4」
▶「Agility: 3」
▶「Endurance: 4」
▶「Mana: 1」
“Wha—?!”
“Huh? W-why are you doing that?”
Startled by Dohyun’s sudden cry, Yongchan Kim, who stood beside him, jumped in alarm and turned to look at him with confusion.
Seeing his reaction, Dohyun hastily shook his head and offered an explanation.
“Oh, no, it’s nothing. There was just a bug.”
“In the middle of winter?”
“W-well, that’s what I’m saying.”
“…?”
Yongchan Kim regarded me with a puzzled expression, clearly finding my explanation odd, but soon lost interest and turned away.
Meanwhile, I continued to stare at Yongchan Kim’s status window floating before my eyes, swallowing hard.
‘So I can see other people’s status windows too?’
The fact that I could view not just my own status window but others’ as well was shocking—I hadn’t even considered it possible since it hadn’t appeared during the Goblin encounter.
And that wasn’t even the end of it.
As I looked at Yongchan Kim, another message materialized before me.
[『Analysis』 has succeeded.]
[You have acquired 10AP.]
‘Ah. So successful Analysis grants me points like this.’
But it seems rather stingy.
Only 10 points.
Could it be because Yongchan Kim’s trait rank is low?
Yet I received 100 from the Goblin—is there some difference I’m missing?
The moment that question crossed my mind.
‘Wait, do I get points every time I look at someone?’
With that thought, I urgently turned my gaze toward the other people nearby.
Looking first at the two women closest to me, their status windows appeared just as they had for Yongchan Kim.
『Yesul Park』
『Trait: Warrior [F]』
『Skills』
▶「×」
『Stats』
▶「Strength: 3」
▶「Agility: 4」
▶「Stamina: 3」
▶「Mana: 2」
『Guminah』
『Trait: Mage [F]』
『Skills』
▶「×」
『Stats』
▶「Strength: 2」
▶「Agility: 3」
▶「Stamina: 2」
▶「Mana: 5」
[『Analysis』 succeeded.]
[Acquired 10 AP.]
[『Analysis』 succeeded.]
[Acquired 10 AP.]
I scratched my cheek as I watched the numbers climb by the same ten points each time.
‘All the trait grades are identical? No, wait—what are these stats?’
Yongchan Kim was a man like me, so I could accept his higher stats easily enough.
But Guminah’s stats were uncomfortably similar to mine, and I felt a twinge of embarrassment.
How little exercise had I been doing to match a woman’s stats? Worse still, Guminah’s mana was five times higher than mine.
Either way, both women succeeded in their Analysis, and I gained AP from them as well.
The total AP I’d acquired this way was already thirty.
‘Should I check the last person?’
I turned my gaze toward the man sitting alone at a distance.
He had the typical build of someone who trained regularly—lean and muscular, more so than Yongchan Kim or myself. The moment I looked at him, his status window appeared.
But then.
『Jeongminwoo』
『Trait: Assassin [E]』
『Skills』
▶「Dagger Mastery [F]」
『Stats』
▶「Strength: 5」
▶「Agility: 6」
▶「Stamina: 5」
▶「Mana: 1」
‘Huh?’
An E-grade trait—higher than any of the other three I’d seen so far.
And he even had a skill that the others lacked.
‘So higher trait grades come with skills.’
As I marveled at this discovery, the familiar notification appeared before my eyes.
[『Analysis』 succeeded.]
[Acquired 30 AP.]
‘Wow.’
Analyzing a higher-grade target definitely yielded more points.
As I was admiring this, another message materialized.
It read:
[You have 『Analysis』 Jeongminwoo’s skill 「Dagger Mastery [F]」.]
[This skill falls below the standard threshold.]
[You acquire the skill without consuming any 『AP (Analysis Points)』.]
[You have acquired the skill “Dagger Mastery [F]”.]
[You already possess this skill.]
[Your stats have not increased.]
If I only looked at this much, it would have been disappointing information.
But then.
[The proficiency of “Dagger Mastery [F]” has increased.]
[「Dagger Mastery [F]」- (1 / 3)]
[If you analyze “Dagger Mastery [F]” two more times, the grade of “Dagger Mastery [F]” will increase.]
‘What?’
The system was being so generous that I found myself staring blankly at the notifications, my throat bobbing as I swallowed hard.
My skill grade would increase after just two more analyses?
What exactly couldn’t I do?
The thought came naturally.
‘This is unreal.’
It felt as though every foundation for rapid and certain growth had been laid out before me.
I could grow stronger simply by observing Hunters.
This trait made it impossible for me not to become a Hunter.
With this, couldn’t I truly become the strongest Hunter?
No—I would inevitably become one.
As I thought this, a sudden sense of discord washed over me.
‘Wait, hold on?’
Now that I thought about it.
Everyone else’s traits were structured like professions.
Like Warrior, Mage, or Assassin.
But why was my trait Analysis?
Not Analyst?
As this question surfaced, someone interrupted my thoughts.
A man stepped forward in front of the Auditorium, his polished shoes clicking against the floor.
He stood before the five of us and spoke.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Hunters. My name is Choejeonghwan, and I’ll be explaining the Hunter Training Center to you.”
At his words, I unconsciously activated Analysis.
『Choejeonghwan』
『Trait: ×』
『Skills』
▶「×」
『Stats』
▶「Strength: 5」
▶「Agility: 5」
▶「Stamina: 6」
▶「Mana: 0」
‘How frustrating….’
Even though she wasn’t awakened, her stats were higher than mine.
But no message appeared after that.
‘Ah, so AP doesn’t accumulate if you’re not a Hunter.’
I’d learned something quite important.
With that thought, I turned my attention to Choejeonghwan’s explanation in front of me.
He was explaining about the Hunter Training Center I’d need to enter today.
I could say I’d truly stepped onto the path of becoming a real Hunter.
* * *
The Hunter Training Center.
To become a Hunter, one had to enroll in the Hunter Training Center without exception.
Though we’d gone through a tutorial, no one could predict what might happen inside the Black Gate, and despite our awakening, we couldn’t simply fire off skills like in a game—we had to complete the training process to truly become Hunters.
Only after completing all the training and education spanning thirty grueling days could one truly become a Hunter.
There had been considerable resistance at first, but seeing the death rate plummet dramatically after the Training Center was established, those complaints naturally fell silent.
Now that Hunters could be developed safely, it wasn’t a bad thing for new Hunters either.
Of course, complaints still inevitably bubbled up regardless.
“Ugh, why do we have to spend a whole month at a training facility?”
“Can’t we just learn to handle mana and be done with it?”
“What a hassle.”
I understood their frustration well enough—they’d just awakened and felt like they’d gained the world.
Meanwhile, while those two women voiced their complaints and the younger-looking Jeongminwoo grumbled along, there was one person grinning from ear to ear.
None other than myself.
Having already served in the military, one might expect me to be annoyed at entering a training facility again—so why was I smiling?
It was obvious, wasn’t it?
‘There will be so many more Hunters at the training center, right?’
I grew stronger just from seeing Hunters—how could I possibly refuse a place teeming with them?
I’d rather beg to be sent there.
When the shuttle bus carrying myself and the four other new Hunters finally arrived at the location of the training facility, instructors stood at the entrance to greet us.
“Welcome, Trainees.”
A woman’s voice rang out powerfully.
Despite her sharp eyes and distinct features giving her the appearance of an ice-cold beauty, everyone reacted to the woman greeting the Trainees with that booming voice.
“Huh? Isn’t that Hwang Hana?”
“Wow, Hwang Hana from the Taebaek Guild?”
“Crazy, Hwang Hana is an instructor!?”
“Wow, it’s Hwang Hana.”
Hwang Hana—one of the members of Taebaek, South Korea’s number one guild and one of only four A-Grade guilds in the entire country.
Everyone couldn’t help but be shocked by her presence.
To meet her here as an instructor.
As those who had been grumbling earlier had their complaints vanish entirely, staring at Hwang Hana with wide eyes and murmuring among themselves, I too was surprised upon seeing her.
I’d known of Hwang Hana before, but that wasn’t why I was surprised.
[The level difference is too great. Analysis has partially failed.]
My first failed analysis.
And then.
『Hwang Hana』
『Trait: ????[S]』
『Skills』
▶「???」
▶Analysis failed.
▶1000 AP required for detailed analysis.
‘Insane.’
As I stared at Hwang Hana’s status window, she glanced at the trainees with a knowing smile and declared.
“I’ll put you through hell for the next month.”
