Title: Monster Hunter: From Broke to Boss
Genre: Action | Fantasy | Adventure | Urban Comedy | System | Monster Hunter
Synopsis:
Broke. Beaten. Betrayed by life.
Leo Kim was just another overworked delivery guy trying to survive the city grind. No money. No prospects. No luck. Until his scooter sent him flying—literally.
But instead of a hospital bed or pearly gates, Leo wakes up in a bloodstained forest, inside the body of a dying nobody in a world where monsters roam, demons rule, and hunters are gods among men.
Then it hits him—a glowing screen hovers before his eyes:
[System Activated: Welcome, User.]
Armed with a sarcastic, semi-broken AI system that rewards creativity over carnage, Leo sets out to rank up in a brutal society where the weak are cannon fodder and the strong get rich or die legendary. But unlike everyone else, his path to power involves cheat quests, crazy loopholes, and playing the system like a stock market.
Now, from killing sewer goblins to outsmarting dungeon lords, Leo’s rising fast—making enemies, stacking cash, and somehow becoming the most unpredictable hunter the guild has ever seen.
From rent debt to world threat—Leo’s coming for the top rank.
And this time, life better stay out of his damn way.

Chapter: The Guild's GraspAt exactly one hour past Kale’s departure, the silence outside the infirmary shattered with the synchronized thud of boots. Five men dressed in pitch-black uniforms approached Leo, each one towering over him like walking tanks. Their suits shimmered faintly in the sun, armored yet seamless. Black combat gloves, steel-toed boots, and dark shades that masked their expressions — the complete image of elite enforcement.Compared to Leo’s lean frame, they were gargantuan, with shoulders so broad they could cast shadows over him. The emblem of the Central Government Guild was etched in silver on their left shoulders. One of them motioned, and without a word, Leo fell into step, flanked on all sides as they guided him toward a waiting black van. The same emblem was displayed boldly across the doors — a silver eye encased in a circle, watching everything.Leo felt their aura — steady, cold, suffocating. These men were far above his level. He could sense the difference, even if he couldn’t qua

Chapter: CHAPTER TEN: VISITORThe first thing Leo felt was the stiffness in his limbs. Then the soft humming of fluorescent lights. The antiseptic scent of the hospital wafted into his nostrils, grounding him in the present. His body was oddly light, and his chest didn’t hurt as much as he expected. He blinked groggily, his vision sharpening just in time to catch sight of Captain Draegon and Vice-Captain Nyx standing at the foot of his bed.“You’re awake,” Draegon said, voice calm and composed.Leo opened his mouth to speak, but all that came out was a low groan. His throat was dry, and his head still felt like it had been through a war zone.Draegon stepped forward and placed a firm hand on Leo’s shoulder, keeping him from sitting up too quickly. “Easy. You’ve been out for two days.”Leo frowned. “Two days?”Nyx gave a curt nod. “We found you in the inner floor of a Rift in Darkvale Forest. Barely breathing. Your vitals were a mess, but… now?” She narrowed her eyes slightly. “It’s like your wounds vanished overni

Chapter: CHAPTER NINE: Did He Take Them Down?The air was thick with tension as the team of D-class hunters approached the source of the unstable energy. The team halted in front of a small opening, eyeing the swirling, unstable void that stretched open before them. It was a mysterious phenomenon, one that none of them had encountered before, and the air felt charged with danger.Captain Alexander Draegon stood at the front, his sharp green eyes scanning the Rift. At 6'2", he was a tall, imposing figure with short-cropped dark brown hair and a chiseled jawline that hinted at his no-nonsense attitude. His combat specialization was swordsmanship, and he wielded a long, sleek blade that hummed with an ancient aura."I don't like this," Captain Draegon muttered, his eyes narrowing in suspicion. His hand rested on the hilt of his sword, instinctively ready for a fight. "There's something off about this Rift."Beside him, Vice-Captain Nyx frowned, her piercing amber eyes flicking to the swirling Rift. Elara was young but capable—quick-

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHT: Survivor of the AbyssMeanwhile, in a large, opulent office adorned with dark mahogany walls, gold trim, and shelves of ancient artifacts, a man stood tall by the full-length window. He looked to be around six feet, clad in a sharp black suit that hugged his muscular frame. His presence exuded authority. His sharp eyes scanned the horizon beyond the glass, lost in thought.Behind him stood a man with peach-colored hair slicked back neatly, a single monocle perched on his left eye, magnifying the sharp gleam in it. His name was Cassian Vale.“Mr. Ryu,” Cassian began, his voice polished, professional. “The situation in Darkvale Forest is becoming increasingly unstable. Reports suggest the Nightscale Crawlers are growing more aggressive.”Ryu turned slowly to face him, his jawline sharp, his expression unreadable. “Have we rounded up the D-class hunters?”Cassian nodded. “Yes, sir. They're assembled and awaiting your orders.”Ryu walked back to his grand desk, sitting down with a measured sigh. He laced his f

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVEN: Bring It OnLeo walked with calculative steps, his grip tight around the hilt of his light dagger. Before him stretched a gaping, worm-like tunnel, wide and pulsating faintly with an unnatural energy. The air felt colder the closer he got to it, as if the tunnel exhaled death itself. He paused at the entrance, his eyes narrowing at the darkness that stretched downward in a spiral."If this is the second floor," he muttered, "then it's probably ten times worse than the last."Every sense screamed caution, but Leo knew he had no choice. The mission must be completed—and besides, that damn internal backlash wasn't going to give him much of a break. He tiptoed forward, dagger poised, feet silent against the stone.The walls shimmered faintly with embedded stones—some dull, others glowing faintly with colors ranging from icy blue to pale green. As he walked deeper, he noticed the luminous stones were getting smaller."Wouldn't hurt to take a few," he muttered, reaching up to pry three larger stones fr

Chapter: CHAPTER SIX: Into the RiftThe spirit shot forward. He ducked and rolled, stabbing upward. The blade passed through but disrupted the spirit’s form.[Soul Damage Inflicted. Wisp Integrity: 72%]“Okay, I can hurt it!”The spirit countered with a psychic shriek. Leo clenched his teeth, blood trickling from his ears.“Not again—damn it!”He triggered Quick Strike, blinking behind the Wisp, then jabbed his dagger into the base of its form.[Soul Damage Inflicted. Wisp Integrity: 21%]The Wisp convulsed, then surged toward the shrine, trying to absorb its energy.“Nope!” Leo hurled a chunk of stone at the base of the shrine. The pulse stuttered.The Wisp screamed. Leo lunged in, stabbing once more.With a final keening wail, the ghost exploded into wisps of silver light.[Mission Complete: Echoing Shrine Activated. Rewards granted. Skill Obtained: Spirit Link (Passive) – Enables detection of spiritual entities within 10 meters. Intelligence +1.
