Chapter Title: Hunter Abusing Authority (6)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Drag.
Black Tower, 45th floor.
Many hunters who step foot here for the first time feel a fear bordering on awe at the massive size of the Fire Golems and their blazing flames.
It was a floor that later hunters could only conquer after countless sacrifices.
Even so, it's still a place where victims emerge worldwide on a regular basis.
"Hmm."
But Park Won-jun entered the 45th floor without even glancing at the briefing materials provided.
With his overwhelming prowess, he froze the Fire Golems solid and stepped into the boss room.
Roar.
"Ho."
After taking a few steps into the boss room, the boss, Dark Fire Golem, made its appearance.
Won-jun inwardly admired its majestic form.
The tower occasionally spawned monsters with hideous designs that were hard on the eyes, but this one had a pretty well-crafted look.
Shing.
Of course, it wouldn't last long.
Won-jun drew Muramasa and prepared to unleash his martial arts.
'Shall I take a look around first?'
But a sense of duty urged him to stage a more dramatic moment.
Freezing those twenty golems had been a decent performance.
So for the boss, he figured he'd show a bit more variety.
Won-jun slowly raised his sword and circled the boss.
Taking a little extra time wouldn't stop him from securing an S-rank.
That much was clear from his multiple tower runs.
'Here it comes.'
As if on cue, the Dark Fire Golem attacked.
Its body seemed carved from black stone.
Blue flames flickered around it.
The flashy boss swung a fist at Won-jun.
Boom!
A sound like the earth splitting rang out.
"..."
But Won-jun had already leaped high, hovering in the air off to the boss's side.
This time, he selected the ice art, Ice White Divine Art.
"Ice White Flash."
Cold mist began gathering around Won-jun.
And without hesitation, he swung his sword.
The boss opted for defense over evasion.
In an instant, blue flames enveloped the Dark Fire Golem.
"Pointless."
This technique demanded evasion, not blocking.
Unlike your average martial artist, the Dark Fire Golem possessed a blazing aura, but against Won-jun's overwhelming internal energy, it meant nothing.
It only served to highlight the ironic spectacle of ice extinguishing fire.
The sword qi surging from Won-jun's swing engulfed the boss.
Crack, crunch.
Thanks to the sheer power of his internal energy, the boss's body began freezing over before the qi could even fully slash its chest, and at the same time, it punched a massive hole through the giant golem's frame.
Thud.
"Hmm."
Won-jun landed and slid Muramasa back into its sheath.
The fight was over before he even touched down.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙
Dark Fire Golem defeated! Conquer Rank: S-Rank! Bonus rewards doubled.
One more ice sculpture added to the collection.
The distinct sword scar lent it an artistic flair.
Time to head home.
The highest floor challengers could attempt in Seoul's Black Tower was currently the 55th.
To conserve precious forces and ensure success, Korea's Hunter Management Department was pouring in every resource it had.
And Won-jun had just breezed through the 45th, a mere ten floors shy.

"How's it going these days?"
"Diving the tower hard."
"No, I mean, how's it feel to be famous?"
"Ah, haha... not sure yet."
"Is that so?"
The newly opened Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul from last year.
Built after tearing down the historic one, in the VVIP seats installed there.
Korea's Hunter Management Minister Ma Tae-sik and the lately buzzing Special Hunter Park Won-jun were watching a game.
Up high, special gate entry, room setup—perfect for comfy viewing.
Chatting alone inside, but downstairs, a few reporters were snapping pics of their silhouettes through the windows.
It was partly a show to broadcast Won-jun's VIP treatment.
"Didn't peg you for a baseball fan."
"Got interested recently."
"I see. I was huge into it when I was young."
"..."
Won-jun gave perfunctory replies to the minister and glanced below.
Not at the game, but the cheerleaders in the stands.
'Splendid.'
Recently close cheerleader Lee Ji-ah was dancing her heart out.
Does everyone look beautiful at work?
Her killer body was great even nude, but the cheer uniform had this weird sexy vibe.
Plus all the other hot cheerleaders dancing alongside—pure eye candy.
"..."
Ma Tae-sik snuck a peek at Won-jun.
Classic guy zoned out during cheer dance time.
'Shows his youth at times like this.'
To the Hunter Management Minister, Won-jun was one odd duck.
Skilled, sure, but fresh awakener, 23-year-old treating the department like an equal business partner.
He tried hiding it, but couldn't mask that no-nonsense superior vibe.
No 20-something guy acts like that.
But glued to the cheerleaders? Peak young dude...
"Gonna hit the bathroom quick."
"Pardon?"
Won-jun heading out.
Fine mid-game, but Ma caught the smirk.
And he'd fiddled with his phone earlier?
"Hm hm hum."
Won-jun exited the VVIP seats humming a tune.
Headed to an off-limits area for regular fans inside the stadium.
The VVIP lounge.
"..."
Quick footsteps on the stairs.
Won-jun waited contentedly.
"There you are?"
"Oppa..."
It was cheerleader Lee Ji-ah.
Still in her uniform.
Sweaty from the intense dancing.
"Seeing you here at the stadium? You're seriously gorgeous."
"Thanks... but why all sudden?"
"Well, see..."
"Ah!"
Won-jun yanked her arm, pulling her into the room.
Slamming the door shut.
"Watching you dance got me too worked up."
"Oppa, hold on."
"Yeah?"
He ignored her, dropping his pants.
"Let's make it quick, so you can get back."
"Even so, this is..."
"Huh? What's this?"
"Sigh."
Ji-ah sighed.
But Won-jun had zero intention of backing off.
'Yeah, this is it.'
Crowds of fans. Spotlight on the cheerleader.
The moment he saw it, he had to claim this scene.
He pictured the guys' dazed faces watching her dance.
Beyond just banging a popular girl—this was fucking her at her brightest moment.
How could anyone hold back?
"Gotta suck better than last time, got it?"
He dropped his underwear, revealing his massive cock.
"Ahh, oppa... seriously..."
Ji-ah hesitated, still not used to the size.
"I'm all sweaty."
"Kinda hot, though?"
"Sigh."
"Suck it already."
She came straight from dancing, still in uniform.
Won-jun's heart raced like a kid with a new toy.
"Fine."
"..."
Ji-ah surrendered, squatting before him.
Bringing her face to his cock.
