Chapter 25
Hwang Beom-young removed his glasses and glared down at the towering, unhinged woman with savage intensity, as if he might tear her to shreds.
‘Damn it.’
Fury churned within me, boiling over.
Not only had she dared to strike my face, but she’d hurled insults directly at me.
What shamed me most was the weakness I despised in myself—a fragile psyche prone to hurt, emotions igniting far too easily.
‘A cripple lecturing me about being a cripple? What do you expect me to do about how I was born!’
I’d been refusing the Guild’s insistent demands for psychological counseling.
And yet.
‘What gives her the confidence to act like that…’
Trash.
These Delinquents were notorious in the neighborhood for their vile nature.
I’d planned to round them all up as a form of environmental cleanup, then give them a proper attitude adjustment.
But one of them was actually lecturing me with unshakeable confidence.
‘She’s got some bite to her.’
I found it oddly fascinating how the woman I’d encountered last night fought with such poise despite her crippled legs.
I wouldn’t deny the urge to retaliate for that single blow.
Normally, even the toughest thugs brought to a place like this would crumble under the atmosphere, begging for mercy, admitting their wrongs, crying and pleading.
That’s what I’d expected.
But this insane woman below wasn’t breaking or repenting—instead, she burned with fury, telling me not to live that way.
‘Shit.’
Her eyes blazed with life.
Even without this situation, a bottom-tier human drowning in despair from every risk life could throw at her should be overwhelmed by Hunters—yet she dominated them.
A surge of rage rose within me, a desperate hunger to crush this extraordinary woman.
‘Let’s see how long you last.’
The Hunters lined up below surged forward, casting their skills.
Though they were only low-rank Hunters—slightly stronger than ordinary people—there was no way a civilian could overcome magical skill attacks.
It was absolutely obvious.
Boom—!
“?!”
Hwang Beom-young’s eyes widened as he shot to his feet, staring down.
The Hunter’s skill had been blocked by a barrier.
Someone had channeled a Hunter skill into their fist, and it had been stopped by a defensive skill.
Crack!
The skill caster, caught off guard by the unexpected defense, took a vicious flaming punch and was sent flying backward.
It was a shocking result no one had anticipated.
The Hunters on the First Floor, equally startled, froze mid-fight and looked up at Hwang Beom-young in unison.
‘She’s not a Hunter?!’
Hwang Beom-young flinched at their gazes and immediately narrowed his eyes fiercely.
“What the hell…”
Acne Pig Woman seized the moment of chaos and began methodically dispatching the Hunters on the First Floor.
Crack! Thud! Crack!
Without firing a single shot, she executed nearly flawless one-hit knockdowns in rapid succession.
Her agility defied belief—a body weighing well over 220 pounds moved with impossible grace.
Skills proved useless against her.
The lower-ranked Hunters’ abilities weren’t particularly strong, but her defensive barrier materialized at perfectly timed intervals.
She blocked multiple attacks at once, then immediately unleashed devastating punches.
Boom!
“Ugh! Gah….”
Those struck by her fists either stumbled about dazed or writhed on the ground, overwhelmed by the crushing impact.
Without breaking rhythm, the woman barked a sharp command at the men behind her.
“Go crush their balls!”
“Yes, yes!”
The men who’d been captured alongside her rushed forward, viciously stomping and grinding their feet between the legs of any Hunters still conscious.
Agonized screams erupted from every corner.
“Ahhhhh!”
“Aaahhh!”
“P-please, mercy, gaahhh?!”
It was something no man should do to another, yet the thought that their victims were Hunters stripped all mercy from their brutal kicks.
The First Floor had become a scene of cruelty no man could bear to witness.
“….”
“….”
Hwang Beom-young and the man beside him stared downward with vacant expressions.
Acne Pig Woman blocked attacks with her defensive skill and felled Hunters with ghostly precision, while her male allies rushed in to finish them with swift, brutal kicks between the legs.
Ahhh! Ahhhhh!
Anguished cries tore through the Building.
The Hunters, their will to fight broken by the enemy’s inhumane brutality, scattered in all directions like grasshoppers fleeing a griddle.
It was chaos.
Park Hyung-jin, the hostage kneeling on the Second Floor watching the situation unfold, rose to his feet and quietly slipped away.
He wasn’t even bound, and no one was paying attention to him.
“…This is hell itself.”
Hwang’s Close Associate, mesmerized by the carnage below, carefully cupped his hands together and looked at Hwang Beom-young.
“Surely you’re not going to send me down there—”
Grab.
“Damn it.”
Seized by the scruff of his neck by Hwang Beom-young, the man cursed even as both of them plummeted over the Second Floor railing together.
Thud.
The moment Hwang Beom-young and his companion landed on the First Floor, silence fell.
The Hunters, who had been fleeing in terror for their lives, turned to look at the two men as if they were saviors.
Hwang Beom-young released the man’s neck and muttered under his breath.
“If you’re a Hunter, that changes things.”
Everyone tensed.
Hwang Beom-young, a Ranker, had come down to the First Floor to fight personally.
The man beside her stepped forward.
“Let’s stop here. If word gets out that Hwang Beom-young laid hands on a disabled person, I’m the one who’ll answer to the higher-ups. So she needs to go back to sleep.”
“What? Who do you think you are?”
Before Hwang Beom-young, who had come down to fight, could even protest in confusion, his Close Associate cast a Sleep skill on the woman—but.
Thud.
It wasn’t the Acne Pig Woman who collapsed, but the one who had cast the skill.
“Ugh….”
“…?”
Faced with an incomprehensible situation, Hwang Beom-young and everyone else’s eyes went wide.

Low-Grade Skill Reflection 1 Use (200C)
Damn it. A fortune in coins just flew away blocking that one Sleep skill.
‘What a waste of coins.’
I’d used 500 coins out of 910 on Strength Enhancement, leaving me 410 coins to work with.
Now I had 120 left.
I’d been planning to seriously accumulate coins to fix my legs, but given the circumstances, I didn’t regret spending them.
‘I have to survive first, after all.’
Finally, the final boss of this stage had arrived—Hwang Beom-young.
Hwang Beom-young, who had been standing there dumbfounded watching the man beside him collapse, slowly turned his head to look at me.
“You did that?”
“No.”
I played innocent, but the atmosphere made it clear no one believed me.
Hwang Beom-young rolled his shoulders.
“You look like an unregistered illegal Hunter. If I beat you down and drag you to the Agency, everything will come out.”
Crack crack crack.
The sound of joints popping echoed menacingly.
My fingertips tingled with dread.
Beating Hwang Beom-young was impossible, even if I were a Hunter.
‘Am I insane?’
Despite the outcome being painfully obvious, I couldn’t understand why I felt so exhilarated and alive.
Like I was playing a game.
Like back in my College Student days when I was thriving and faced a strong opponent.
My heart raced.
“Go ahead and drag me. You already know anyway. I’m not a Hunter. Beat up a civilian and make a big name for yourself in the world.”
“….”
At my words, Hwang Beom-young’s thick brows twitched menacingly, and suspicious gazes flew at me like arrows.
If I really was a civilian and Hwang Beom-young beat me down and dragged me to the Hunter Agency, exactly what the unconscious man behind him had feared would happen.
Of course, I never expected Hwang Beom-young to hesitate at mere words.
It was simply an attempt to minimize his skill usage frequency, to force a confrontation based purely on physical prowess.
“Not falling for it.”
He spat the words and charged at me.
Whoosh!
I ducked beneath Hwang Beom-young’s fist and immediately drove my own toward his abdomen, but his hand intercepted it instantly.
Hwang Beom-young tried to drag me forward, but my body refused to budge.
My feet planted firmly against the ground, my strengthened muscles, my solid weight, and the expensive new athletic shoes I’d purchased—all of it anchored me in place.
Hwang Beom-young’s eyes widened.
“!”
Even for a Ranker, he was still just a child—it seemed he’d never fought someone with such a significant weight class advantage.
Whether he’d intended to pull me down and throw me, I couldn’t say.
‘One-twenty kilograms, huh.’
For reference, back when I was a College Student preparing for the national team, I’d sparred against men who were not only 190 centimeters tall but even reached two meters.
Back then, the overwhelming weight difference meant I could only dodge.
‘But now I can win.’
Hwang Beom-young tried to shift his stance too late—he’d already missed the timing.
I reversed his loosened grip by pulling his arm, planted my good leg firmly, and swept my injured leg in a massive arc.
Cold sweat beaded across my skin.
‘Will it work?’
Tension drove greater force into the movement, and my foot accelerated to tremendous speed.
The leg I’d hated and resented so bitterly for being crippled traced a clean, satisfying arc and crashed directly into Hwang Beom-young’s head—precisely his jaw.
Crack!
“…?!”
As the powerful blow landed after the brief exchange, gasps echoed from all around.
Exhilaration exploded through my chest.
Like in The Game, the word “Critical” seemed to shimmer before my eyes.
But before I could revel in the triumph, Hwang Beom-young staggered back a few steps from the recoil, wiped the blood from his mouth, and glared at me with murderous intent.
“…You fucking bitch.”
Shudder.
In that instant, every limb went rigid with cold, and my lungs constricted violently.
A suffocating killing intent.
Hwang Beom-young’s eyes flashed dangerously, signaling the activation of a Hunter skill.
