Everyone present in the hall was filled with astonishment and surprise at the sudden appearance of a new record from the person they least expected anything from.

'Does this mean the new record holder is him?'

'Wow! I never knew that the Useless loser of the Taylors could give us such a surprise!'

'A Taylor is a Taylor, nonetheless!'

Be it the candidates or the examiners they were all standing staring at Roger in awe except one person that is!

'What did I see just now? Did he really hold back his power at the last movement!!?'

Others may have not noticed this, but he couldn't deceive the eyes of an S-rank!

Joshua clearly saw that at the last movement when the fist was about to collide with the machine, Roger pulled his hand!

He didn't know why he did that but...

'If the power he displayed while holding back is 1.25 then how much would the score have been if he punched with his full force!!'

    "That was ridiculous" Screamed Noah who was walking alone in some kind of an underground old parking lot, he was thinking about what the secretary said to him on the phone. "I will make sure to beat him to pulp today!" He said liting up a cigarette. He had already informed his men to bring Roger to him as soon as they drive him here so he was going to wait in the underground till he is here. In front of Noah, who walked alone while snorting, a figure intervened and blocked the road. “What’s it?” Noah who was already quite annoyed raised his voice without realizing it and stared at the other person. “You, aren't you Roger's driver?” Noah's eyes narrowed upon his unexpected appearance in the secret corridor where he was walking alone. But the following word was the kind he really couldn’t imagine. “Hey.” “…What?” “Do you wanna die?” “…” Noah’s motion hardened overall and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground.

It was rather bizarre for such a large portal to be in a bustling downtown area.Therefore, it was inevitable to build such a building around the exterior to hide the sense of disparity, regardless of obstructing traffic.It was said that when the portal first opened up on earth monsters came out bustling from them, surprising many people.And the majority of those who entered it out of curiosity about what those creatures are and where they are from

    Dungeon! It is a word that refers to an unknown world full of indescribable threats, such as life battles against violent monsters or the dangers of hidden traps and confined spaces. And also countless opportunities to get stronger if survived! Firstly, many Awakeners want to somehow get into this dungeon with a hunter’s license. And the public admires, envies, or is even jealous of these hunters. Someone says, "The dungeon has adventure and romance." Bullshit! The reason why dungeon is in the spotlight as said because it is full of rewards like sweet honey. Obviously, the more powerful the hunter, the more the rewards. And by building a reputation, they can accumulate the wealth and honor that many people envy on Earth. Even public power cannot treat them lightly if they keep the basic line as long as they have strong power. The opportunity to enjoy the life everyone dreams of in a capitalist society is open to hunters. Therefore, those who want to change their environment,

    Ian Phage had a new dream after being awakened two days ago. ‘Make a name as a hunter and become a man whom my family can depend on.' He was a person who didn't like receiving other people’s attention since childhood, he liked to stay silent and sit in a corner where no one could bother him even from school days, and maybe because of that, as an adult, he became what commonly referred to as a keyboard warrior in the internet world. He lived in a middle-class house, which was in no condition for people to use, with his bedridden father who was always coughing and his weak mother still cooking for him when she was supposed to lay back and rest, and his younger siblings who dreamed about eating a meal to their heart content. Ian thought of himself as a pathetic man, sitting in front of a computer every day and hitting the keyboard in his room, but there was nothing more he could do. He was in a dilemmatic situation in many ways. He failed to get a job at the company he wanted, not bec

There was a hideous cut wound on the left cheek of that man, who sat alone on a wide sofa and grabbed a bottle of strong whiskey, wriggled it greatly. “Ha-!” Anger rose to the tip of his head thinking about the absurd situation that had happened in front of him just now. “Most of the Big 10 guild bosses are such cowardly bastards…” Shin Jonghak, whose tongue stuck out, casually called the Big 10 guild bosses that had a high reputation in Korea and belittled them.
