Chapter 87
The day after completing the Sword Afterimage Technique.
Jeon Ji-woo suddenly made a request of her original.
Perhaps she wanted some compensation for helping him acquire the new skill.
“Can I ask you something?”
“Yeah. What is it?”
“Could you make an ID Card for me?”
“Huh?”
The sudden request left Jeon Jae-woo bewildered.
“An ID Card? You mean a Resident Registration Certificate?”
“Yeah, the one with the registration number on it.”
“But why do you suddenly need one? What would you even need an ID Card for?”
Jeon Ji-woo frowned and pressed her case.
“What do you mean ‘what for’? I’m an adult—shouldn’t I naturally have a Resident Registration Certificate?”
Technically speaking, she was less than a year old, freshly born.
“And since I don’t have any identity, there are so many things I can’t do on this planet. Don’t just make me an ID Card—make me a Financial Certificate too! And open a personal account!”
……
It was true that in modern society, a personal bank account and Financial Certificate were essentials.
Without them, she couldn’t make electronic purchases, order delivery, or do countless other everyday things.
Jeon Ji-woo, despite being human, would face serious restrictions in enjoying culture and daily life.
But that logic applied to humans.
“But why do you need all that?”
“Because I’m a person too, that’s why!”
Ah, right. She was his Doppelgänger—a Summoned Creature, yes, but fundamentally the same as a human.
She was indeed human, yet Jeon Jae-woo had never really thought of it that way before, given that she was a Doppelgänger and his Summoned Creature.
Other Summoned Creatures never brought up such things with their masters.
Why would a Golem, an elemental spirit, or an undead care about participating in human daily life?
Perhaps the Lich King showed mild interest when Jeon Jae-woo turned on the television.
The grievance Jeon Ji-woo expressed was valid in its own way, but—
‘Still, asking me to make an ID Card out of nowhere…’
He wasn’t sure how Korean society would react.
A woman in her twenties with unknown background suddenly appears in Korea?
And she’s supposedly an S-rank Hunter level individual?
It would definitely cause a stir.
“Can’t we just say I’m your younger sister?”
“Sorry, but my family registry has shown ‘no younger sister’ for more than twenty years now.”
Still, leaving her in this state of unknown identity was problematic too.
Since she was genuinely human, perhaps it would be better to sort this out properly now, uncomfortable as it might be.
Before an even more troublesome situation arose later.
“What if you just explained that I’m your Summoned Creature?”
“I’d rather not explain it that way.”
It felt like he’d created something that shouldn’t exist in the human world.
And if the Korean government classified Jeon Ji-woo as a Summoned Creature, it was uncertain whether they would recognize her as a fellow human.
Jeon Ji-woo pressed on stubbornly.
“Then what if I register as a Hunter?”
“That won’t work either. Why would you need to work as a Hunter?”
“I’m not trying to work independently. Since I’m Bound to you, I should only work with you.”
If she took the Hunter registration exam and the results came out, Director Yoo Jung-tae would definitely try to recruit her.
“Besides, you and I are linked through the system.”
“Can’t I just register without actually working as a Hunter?”
Of course, it was entirely possible to send only Summoned Creatures on Dungeon Conquests.
He could send Jeon Ji-woo with the Hunter Bureau’s Hunters to conquer Ruins.
But since sending a Summoned Creature counted as Jeon Jae-woo participating in the conquest himself, his Dungeon Conquest count would be consumed regardless.
He couldn’t afford to waste his remaining limited conquests on Legendary-grade Ruins.
It was then that the Lich King, who had been listening to their conversation, interjected.
“Why not simply Unbind her?”
“Huh?”
Jeon Jae-woo’s eyes widened as he repeated the words.
“Unbind the Summoned Creature? Is that even possible?”
“The Creator is her master, so it should certainly be within the realm of possibility.”
“How do I do that?”
“Nothing complicated. Just sever the Mana connection entirely—even the unconscious links.”
Jeon Jae-woo attempted it skeptically, following Lich King’s instructions.
〈Jeon Ji-woo〉 – Standard (Dungeon Conquests Remaining: 12)
Description – A clone duplicated from the Summoner.
Type – Doppelgänger
Traits – Sword Energy Reinforcement (S). Ego Sword Technique (S).
Just like that, the Binding unraveled.
‘Wait… it actually worked?’
Moreover, Jeon Ji-woo now showed the number of remaining Dungeon Conquests, just like an ordinary Hunter.
‘Could it be…?!’
Jeon Jae-woo wondered if he could consolidate those Conquest attempts onto himself, so he tried Binding her again.
‘Damn it.’
The moment he re-established the Binding, all of Jeon Ji-woo’s remaining Conquests vanished.
It seemed those Conquest attempts earned while Unbound couldn’t be consumed from his own pool.
‘But when did Unbinding become possible?’
Back when Myeol-geop was first created, he’d wondered if Unbinding the Summoned Creature might someday be possible.
His early attempts at Unbinding had all failed.
“I suspect it became possible as the box underwent several stages of liberation,” Lich King said.
“That’s fascinating. So you’re saying Unbinding works for all the other Summoned Creatures too?”
Lich King’s voice grew lower.
“I’d advise against Unbinding any of us except the Doppelgänger, Master.”
“Why is that?”
“Unlike the Doppelgänger, if our Binding is severed, who knows what we might do?”
……
Jeon Jae-woo made a silent vow never to Unbind the non-human Summoned Creatures.
Especially that Ego Sword—there was no telling what it would do if freed.
Meanwhile, Jeon Ji-woo seemed delighted at the prospect of finally obtaining an ID Card.
“So, can I go register as a Hunter now?”
“…Yeah, let’s do that.”
After a moment’s deliberation, Jeon Jae-woo nodded.
While they were at it, they’d get not just the Resident Registration Certificate but the Hunter Registration Certificate as well.
***
Jeon Jae-woo and Jeon Ji-woo arrived at the Hunter Bureau together.
In modern society, of course, getting official identification for someone with unknown origins required complicated procedures.
Genetic testing, DNA matching, court approval—the whole rigmarole.
Annoyed at the prospect of explanations, Jeon Jae-woo simply went straight to the Hunter Bureau.
‘If I mention this to Director Yoo Jung-tae, he’ll figure it out somehow.’
Of course, the situation Jeon Jae-woo presented wasn’t something the Hunter Bureau could easily accept.
“Hello? Yes, Director. Is now a good time? The thing is, I’ve come to the Hunter Bureau with my sister. Yes. My biological sister, not a cousin. She wants to register as a Hunter, but she doesn’t have an ID. Yes, yes. No, I’m absolutely serious.”
Upon hearing from Jeon Jae-woo that he’d arrived with his sister, Yoo Jung-tae came down to the lobby.
The moment he laid eyes on Jeon Ji-woo, his eyes widened.
“This person is Hunter Jeon Jae-woo’s sister… you say?”
“Yes. As you can see, she’s my identical twin sister.”
Yoo Jung-tae’s jaw fell open.
‘What in the world is going on?’
According to his investigation, Jeon Jae-woo’s family consisted only of his father and mother—he was supposed to be an only child.
Had his intel been wrong?
And why did a woman in her twenties have no Resident Registration Certificate?
Now she’d awakened and wanted a Hunter Registration Certificate?
“…Let’s not discuss this here. Please come to my office.”
Back in his office, Yoo Jung-tae made calls and inquiries.
But the woman calling herself Jeon Ji-woo had no record whatsoever—as if she’d simply materialized from thin air.
‘Where did she even come from?’
Why had Hunter Jeon Jae-woo suddenly brought such a woman along?
Yet he couldn’t dismiss her as unrelated, given how strikingly identical she was to Jeon Jae-woo.
So much so that he wondered if Jeon Jae-woo had simply disguised himself as a woman rather than being an actual twin.
At first, he’d suspected Jeon Jae-woo might have used some Hunter technique, but she appeared entirely human.
Yoo Jung-tae hadn’t yet considered the possibility that she was a clone.
What Hunter, no matter how powerful, could create a perfect, permanent Doppelgänger rather than a temporary shadow technique?
“Could it be that your parents never filed a birth registration for your younger sister?”
“I’m not entirely sure. But I’ve heard that people back then often delayed birth registrations because infant mortality was so high—they didn’t always report births right away.”
……
Those days are long gone, you fool.
If you’re going to lie, at least put some effort into it.
When exactly was infant mortality so rampant that you’d drag up that excuse now?
And even if the birth registration was delayed—you’re claiming they’re twin brothers, so one was registered normally but the other wasn’t until adulthood? That makes no sense.
A genetic test might turn up something if we ran a comparison, but…
His head was spinning, yet Yoo Jung-tae’s course of action was already clear.
Normally, he’d conduct a thorough investigation into this sudden appearance of an unknown person.
But Jeon Jae-woo had brought her to the Hunter Bureau for a reason—he clearly didn’t want this to become a public spectacle, so Jung-tae was to handle it as quietly as possible.
‘Right. The contract says I’ll help with anything I can.’
The appearance of one unidentified woman wouldn’t cause any national crisis anyway.
All Jeon Jae-woo really wanted was a means to prove this woman’s identity.
“So you’re saying you’d like to register your younger sister as a Hunter?”
“Yes!”
Jeon Ji-woo answered with an eager expression.
“Then I’ll handle it personally. Please come this way.”
To become a Hunter, one had to undergo testing to confirm one’s Traits and Mana levels.
The civil servants in the testing room jumped to their feet in surprise when the Bureau Director suddenly entered.
“Director!”
“Yes. I’ll be conducting their tests myself, so you can all step outside for a moment.”
“Right away!”
After the staff hurried out,
Yoo Jung-tae led Jeon Ji-woo to the magical crystal sphere in front.
“Simply place your hand on it and remain still.”
“Do I need to inject Mana?”
“No. Just relax and keep your hand on it.”
As Jeon Ji-woo placed her hand as instructed, Yoo Jung-tae activated the machine and began the measurement.
The most critical information was her Mana capacity and what Traits she possessed.
-Hummmmm…
As the test results appeared in real time, Yoo Jung-tae’s expression began to change.
‘What… is this?’
Yoo Jung-tae thought he must be dreaming.
Otherwise, why did the test results show two S-rank Sword Technique Traits?
And her Mana level was among the highest of S-rank?
‘Is this a machine malfunction?’
But no matter how many times he ran the test again, the results remained the same.
After the testing concluded, Yoo Jung-tae approached her with an expression far different from their first meeting.
“The testing is complete. Please, this way, Hunter Jeon Ji-woo.”
Yoo Jung-tae’s face had brightened considerably since entering the test room.
