"I just can't wrap my head around this situation, you know?"
Choi Da-eun grabbed the bed rail tightly as she spoke.
"A guild? You mean you're joining some other guild? Park Sun-woo, spill it."
I could see her holding back a curse. Her burly face was flushed beet red—100%.
Thank goodness Han So-ra was right there.
"Well, here's the thing."
Han A-ra started explaining on my behalf.
She skipped all the minor family details and stuck to the essentials.
Choi Da-eun, who had been listening quietly, shot me a glare.
"...So, you're saying you're quitting the Milky Way Guild and joining this one."
Choi Da-eun's eyes shook violently.
I could feel her panic—she hadn't seen my defection coming at all.
"You didn't sign a contract?"
Having grasped the situation, Choi Da-eun immediately went for the legal angle.
But I was F-Rank Hunter Park Sun-woo—I'd never signed a guild contract in my life.
"Nope."
I answered curtly.
The Milky Way Guild hadn't even done a proper contract with me.
"Why the hell not? Fuck, Hwang Deok-su must've signed one."
"I never signed anything. Felt like if someone took me, I'd go."
If I'd shown growth potential, they'd have locked me down ages ago.
You gotta collar a promising sapling to feel secure.
Unfortunately, my level hadn't budged from 7.
I'd exposed my lack of talent to the world.
Like an ugly stray no one wanted to take in.
The Milky Way Guild treated me like a stray cat nobody claimed.
'The stray cat I thought I was? Turns out I'm a tiger cub?!'
The Taming App had made me that way.
From stray cat to tiger cub.
So, it was time to move on.
To the tamer (virgin) who'd recognized me.
"No way. What the fuck, quitting out of nowhere like that."
"Why? Any legal issues?"
Quitting the Milky Way Guild.
That severed my last tie to Choi Da-eun.
No more team leader and member dynamic—no need to grovel anymore.
I squared my shoulders proudly.
Straightened my back and met Choi Da-eun's gaze.
"We gotta hit the 10th floor in two weeks. Training Team 4 has no tank, you asshole."
Choi Da-eun couldn't hold back her curses anymore.
Han A-ra jumped in right away to shut her up.
"Please watch your language."
"...Argh."
Choi Da-eun glanced at Han So-ra.
Spitting curses didn't satisfy her; she scowled and glared daggers at me.
Her sharp eyes stabbed at my cheek like an awl.
"Ah, whatever. I'm not going back to the Milky Way Guild."
She caved.
I stood tall.
Nothing legal to pin me down.
Choi Da-eun let out a sigh.
"Whether you stay in the guild or not, that's not my problem. But fuck, you have to do this 10th-floor dungeon. It's the day we report back on the six months of investment from the guild."
Choi Da-eun's tone softened a bit.
Not scolding—trying to persuade.
"The government and association are watching too. They're checking if the Milky Way Guild's funding was worth it."
"What does that have to do with me?"
"...This fucker, getting cocky? What does it have to do with you?"
My replies grew shorter.
Choi Da-eun let out a scoff.
"You gotta cough up everything you swallowed! The support funds! The dungeon! And my time! You fucking mutt!"
Choi Da-eun exploded in rage.
I figured Han A-ra would step in, but she just watched silently.
I looked at Han A-ra, hoping she'd intervene.
Instead, she muttered to herself, siding with Choi Da-eun.
"...I can feel the sincerity in her voice. My first impression was definitely 'crazy bitch,' but the emotions she's showing now are real."
"A-ra?"
"Sun-woo, I think we should clear this up. Anyway, we've got stuff to handle to run our guild."
"...Pardon?"
Thinking about it, just making a guild didn't mean I could dive into dungeons right away.
Even the strongest hunter had to follow procedures.
S- or A-Ranks could shorten them, but not ignore them entirely.
"That's how I see it."
Han A-ra said.
"They didn't even contract you, an F-Rank with no apparent talent. Thanks to that, I got you relatively easily... but don't you feel wronged, Sun-woo?"
"About what?"
"You should show the Milky Way Guild that looked down on you what they've got coming. Flaunt your power! 'Fine, I'll go to another guild like you wanted! Bye!' and bounce. Ending it like this feels kinda anticlimactic, don't you think?"
"Hmm."
She had a point.
All the humiliation, insults, and degradation from the Milky Way Guild.
I recalled those lingering feelings of resentment.
Han A-ra was right.
Quitting solo felt like the worst option—like running away.
I needed a grand finale to showcase Park Sun-woo's growth.
The finale.
Seizing the moment, Choi Da-eun jumped in.
"Fine, fuck it. Just do up to the 10th floor, then get lost. Okay?"
"Okay."
"...Your replies are fucking short."
"I'm leaving anyway, so whatever."
No team leader-member bond anymore.
"I'm a fellow hunter now, equal to you. A-ra, what's the guild name?"
"Uh... haven't decided yet."
"Anyway."
Choi Da-eun ground her teeth.
"Still, I'm older than you, aren't I? You shitty fuck?"
"Huh?"
Choi Da-eun was 27.
I was 24.
"I'll call you noona."
"You mutt, you fucking bastard!"
Clatter-bang—Choi Da-eun lunged to hit me.
Han So-ra, who'd been listening quietly, frantically intervened.
"Stop, stop! He's recovering! He's a patient!"
Han A-ra clung to Choi Da-eun too.
"Argh, arghhh! You mutt! Fuck!"
It got so noisy that nurses rushed in.
Thanks to them, I survived.
"Phew!"
* * *
Choi Da-eun left first.
She bolted as soon as the commotion died down, saying she couldn't stand the sight of my face for another second.
The Han sisters didn't stick around long either.
Once they confirmed I was awake, no reason to stay in the room.
Han So-ra had even fed me a Mid-Grade Recovery Potion herself.
Discharge tomorrow.
'Shall I check?'
I pulled out my smartphone.
Had to pass fingerprint and password to break security.
Activated the hidden Taming App in the corner.
Logs generated over the past two days...
'Nothing.'
Empty.
I was the idiot expecting changes without even using the Taming App.
I lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
The smartphone—a gift from 'me' in another dimension.
Using the original phone's SIM in the Taming App smartphone.
This thing was causing me all sorts of headaches.
Of course, overly happy headaches—changes for the better.
Way better than scraping by as an F-Rank forever.
Getting pummeled by an S-Rank and falling into a coma beat that.
I could take this kind of knockout a hundred times.
'Ended up with a connection to an S-Rank by accident.'
Befriend Han A-ra to meet Han So-ra.
That was my goal.
Luckily, I skipped all the middle steps.
Bonded with Han So-ra in a not-bad atmosphere.
Saved a ton of time.
'...She lost control of her emotions and clocked me at full power.'
Any normal hunter would've died for real.
Han So-ra claimed she'd hit with B-Rank strength, but from my end...
Not even close.
The pain was full-on, but Indestructible reduced damage by 90%—that's what saved me.
Without Indestructible, instant death.
Her own mistake forced her to acknowledge me.
Han So-ra, knowing the full truth, seemed to feel guilty toward me now.
'She'll be useful in all sorts of ways.'
I'd gained an S-Rank backer.
In hunter society, I'd finally spooned a diamond.
That was that.
This was this.
I opened the Taming App and headed to the Taming Room.
Pulled the Female Bestiary from Inventory.
Flipped open the thick hardcover.
⚔ FEMALE BESTIARY ⚔ Current Level: 2 Registrable Females (1 / 2) 1. Choi Da-eun A slot in the Female Bestiary was open.
Who would claim it?
I'd already picked the occupant.
Women registered in the Female Bestiary could be summoned and fucked anytime, anywhere.
Peak feminine beauty was a must.
Body optimized for breeding as a female—also a must.
Which female hunter pierced those brutal conditions to earn a spot in the Female Bestiary?
⚔ ENTRY PROFILE ⚔ 📛 Name: Han So-ra 🎂 Age: 27 📊 Conquest Difficulty: C S-Rank Hunter Han So-ra, straight up.
Affiliated with the half-collapsed 'Joseon Guild' after failing the 47th floor.
Korea's top 10.
Number one most popular hunter among adult men and women.
"What, difficulty C?"
Surprisingly low conquest difficulty.
F, E, D, C.
Assuming S is hardest, C sat right in the middle.
But couldn't celebrate at half.
No one praises a student with a 5/10 like they're a genius.
Prime position for getting shit on, actually.
Not my first C-Rank.
Fucked plenty of women, seen all kinds of difficulties.
Just surprised because it was S-Rank Han So-ra.
No need to overthink the C-Rank itself.
'This'll be smooth.'
I registered Han So-ra immediately.
Slot filled.
Then the erogenous zones section appeared.
⚔ UPDATED PROFILE ⚔ 📛 Name: Han So-ra 🎂 Age: 27 📊 Conquest Difficulty: C 🔥 Erogenous Zones: Clitoris, —. Han So-ra's default erogenous zone: one assigned already.
Blank for ones I could set freely.
'Clitoris, huh...'
I registered her cervix as an erogenous zone.
Then summoned her.
Time to pop her cherry.
