thud.

"Now, these are all the documents needed to create a guild."

"..."There are a lot."

Suho laughed as he looked at the pile of documents in front of him.

As if he had anticipated Suho's reaction, Jinho Yoo grinned picked up the topmost stack of documents, and explained.

"There are bound to be a lot of documents. "The guild you will establish is already a large guild from the start."

"Is it because of the Scavenger Guild?"

"Okay. The Scavenger Guild has already started selling 'Echo Forest Spring Water' in earnest. And half of the profits will be used as your guild's income. "But is there any way that there are not enough documents?"

Suho nodded at Yoo Jin-ho's words.

'Item: Spring Water of Echo Forest'

The effectiveness of the detox potion obtained from the ice elves in the glacier dungeon was proven through several verifications by the Scavenger Guild.

From Suho's perspective, he had already seen the item information, so he knew the effect very well.

To sell to other hunters for money, such a verification process was necessary, even if it was somewhat cumbersome.

As soon as the value of the detox potion was confirmed, the Scavenger Guild began the detox potion business in earnest.

The public's reaction has already been enthusiastic.

It was natural.

When hunting magical beasts that use poison, a hunter with detoxification skills was essential.

But not everyone had such a hunter as a colleague.

In such a situation, even though it was inconvenient, I had to go into battle wearing a gas mask.

Otherwise, I had no choice but to go to the association's healer after the battle and receive detoxification.

But now, with just the detox potion, the paradigm until now would be completely different.

And because of Suho's contract with Scavenger, he was to receive half of the proceeds from future sales of Echo Forest's spring water.

However, in principle, such large-scale contracts are only transacted between guilds.

"In other words, Seong Su-ho's guild will become a close partner with a large American guild upon its establishment. And since Ajin Soft has to coordinate and supervise that relationship, a three-party contract is also required......."

"yes. So where should I start signing?"

Since it was something he was familiar with, Suho picked up his pen and listened to the lawyer's explanation.

Still, thanks to Yoo Jin-ho, all the complicated contracts and document procedures were resolved, so the guild could be founded by simply signing numerous documents.

Yoo Jin-ho, who had been watching Suho eagerly sign his name, suddenly looked at Suho with very serious eyes.

"Rather..."As a guild leader, there is probably one most important thing left to do."

"What is that?"

Suho's eyes also became serious at that expression.

His uncle Yoo Jin-ho was his father's closest colleague who had his memories of his previous life returned intact.

What does he think is most important?

Jinho Yoo asked seriously.

"Have you decided on a guild name?"

"ah."

What else can I say?

Suho shrugged his shoulders in response.

It was a topic I had never thought about because I was so busy.

But anyway, to complete these thick documents, the guild name had to be written at the top.

"hmm. "We just call it a solo guild."

"Now, wait!"

"...?"

Suho was taken aback by Jinho Yoo's sudden, greatly embarrassed reaction.

Yoo Jin-ho's expression was very complex.

Yoo Jin-ho didn't know whether to cry or laugh at this or what kind of expression he should make right now.

'...what the. 'I wonder if someone is your son.'

It was Yoo Jin-ho who brought back a nostalgic memory that now remains only as a memory.

In the past, didn't Seong Jin-woo also try to roughly name his guild "Solople Guild"?

"why? Weird?"

Yu Jin-ho asked Su-ho's question back.

"...Why do you want to use that name?"

"There's no particular reason, I just like moving alone. "I have no intention of recruiting more guild members in the future."

"That's true, but strictly speaking, you're not fighting alone. "There are also shadow soldiers."

"hmm."

"More than anything, it's so tacky! "Later, as the guild name becomes more known, it will be exposed in many places!"

After hearing it, I saw it.

Su-ho nodded to Yu Jin-ho's logical and desperate persuasion.

It made sense.

It was a guild that I might be joining for the rest of my life.

It was right for the guild name to have a meaning that could express oneself well.

'That's why I chose 'Solo'...If the meaning is not clearly understood, it is of no use.'

It's a word that can express me.

Suho asked again.

"Then how about 'Woojin Guild'?"

"Woojin?"

Yoo Jin-ho's eyes widened slightly as he reflected on the tone.

"Is that your brother's or your father's name backward?"

"Yes, that's true, but it also has other meanings."

"What do you mean?"

"Wu (宇) of the universe (宇宙), Jin (進) to move forward."

Suho reflected on his purpose.

He has to do what he needs to do next.

What I want to do.

And for that purpose, the name I want to give to the guild that will grow together.

"The two together make Ujin (宇進), which means 'moving into space.'"

"...."

Yoo Jin-ho couldn't say anything in response to Su-ho's subsequent answer.

"Because I will go to the universe where my father is."

...That is how the Woojin Guild was created.

***

After forming a guild, Suho began to attack the dungeon in earnest.

When I became a guild leader, I realized that there was a big difference between when there was no guild and when there was a guild.

Surprisingly, the fact that the guild leader was a C-class hunter was not very important.

Such elements are only needed when recruiting guild members anyway, and in the end, 'money' is what is needed to dominate the dungeon to be conquered.

And Suho now had a lot of money.

"10 billion."

"...!"

"First of all, please focus on the highest-grade dungeons with 1 billion won, bro."

"Ah Okay. no! "I understand, guild leader!"

Lim Do-gyun, who came out of the shadow dungeon for the first time in a long time, could not get used to the sight of Su-ho suddenly becoming rich.

But making money is difficult, so why spend it?

"And since the money coming in from scavengers next month will be much more than this month, we take that into consideration and make reservations in advance."

"yes!"

Lim Do-gyun answers energetically.

Suho noticed that his movements were very different from before.

'fast.'

And that change became clear when I took Lim Do-gyun into the dungeon.

"Ugh! "Why did you bring me here?"

Lim Do-gyun's role is a porter.

It was a task for Suho to run between shadow soldiers and hunt demonic beasts to collect magic stones.

It didn't matter if you did this after the dungeon raid was completed.

Otherwise, you could have left it to the shadow soldiers without having to order Lim Do-gyun to do it.

However, there was a reason why he brought Lim Do-gyun in person this time.

"...oh. "He's really good at running away."

Suho was impressed.

Ammut just told Lim Do-gyun to run all the time.

As a result, Lim Do-gyun's lower body was trained to the limit, and he was still able to run away from the mid-level magic beasts that were attacking him.

'Magic power is still at level E, but the strength itself has increased significantly. This is enough......'Wouldn't it be possible to deal with a D-class demon or higher on your own without difficulty?'

Of course, just because his running got faster, that didn't mean his attack power improved.

But what if we put a good weapon in Lim Do-gyun's hands?

'For example, a bow.'

Of course, a hunter's bow uses magic arrows as standard.

Therefore, no matter how good the bow was, if it was in the hands of an E-class hunter, its attack power was bound to be very poor.

Can you even fire one shot properly in the first place?

'But what if it's not a magical arrow?'

"Dogyun hyung, listen to this."

"huh? "No, yes?"

Lim Do-gyun, who was holding the bow given by Su-ho in his hand, made a puzzled expression.

"Guild leader, why is this? I don't have enough magic power, so I can't use a weapon like this......."

"Because I know, let's just aim for a demonstration first."

"...?"

Although Lim Do-gyun did not understand, he obediently followed Su-ho's words.

Joowoouk-

The moment he pulls the bowstring.

"Mino, shapeshift."

"...?!"

Shwaaaagh!

Lim Do-gyun could not help but be shocked.

Suddenly, the shadow minotaur that was fighting with Guardian ran towards him and turned into a single black arrow.

[Mino Lv.1]

Transmogrification – Arrow

"Hehe, hehe......."

[Mmmuuuu!]

"Hey, what is this? scared."

Lim Do-gyun suddenly looked at Su-ho with his hands trembling as he saw a black shadow arrow fluttering ominously on his bow.

"Soo, Suho? No, guild leader? This, this......"What happens if I shoot you?"

"What happens? "It will fly forward, right?"

"I guess so...."

"Now, take a shot."

"...."

At Su-ho's urging, Lim Do-gyun closed his eyes tightly and pointed the shadow arrowhead toward those scary-looking beasts.

and.

Tuk.

The moment you let go of his hand.

[Mmmuuuu-]

Kuwaaaaaaa!

"Hey?!"

The black ray of light left his hand and passed through a large hole in the body of the gigantic beast like a cannonball.

Lim Do-gyun's expression as he stared blankly at that scene was a sight to behold.

"W-What on earth is this...?"...."

"What is it?"

Suho smiled and answered.

"From now on, my brother is also a full-fledged combatant of the Woojin guild."

"..."Guild leader."

At those words, Lim Do-gyun's eyes as he looked at Su-ho quietly fluttered.

E-class hunter.

He is the weakest hunter who deserves to be a miner, not a fighter.

That was who he was.

'...I am weak.'

no.

Always been weak.

so that....

'I always just ran away.'

From scary demonic beasts.

And from his mother who tried to kill him by turning into Mistburn.

and.

'Even from her father who killed her mother.'

mother.

Still, when Lim Do-gyun falls asleep, he always dreams of 'that day.'

In that dream, there was always a father who casually killed his mother, a demonic beast.

I saw my father like that before my eyes.

-Ugh!

-Do, Do-gyun...!

...He was so scared that he turned his back on his father and ran away.

So forever, until the dream ends.

Lim Do-gyun ran and ran endlessly.

To run away from his father.

maybe....

It must have been from then on.

'My life was always about running away.'

Did you gain running skills after awakening?

That was probably a natural result and a natural reason.

'Because I am weak.'

Even after awakening, it is only an E grade.

Because he is still not as strong as his father, who is an S-class hunter.

however.

Right now, Lim Do-gyun was looking down at his own two hands that had killed an extremely strong magical beast in one fell swoop.

My hands were shaking with belated excitement.

Of course, he had no intention of being mistaken.

This power was not his own.

It was just a manifestation of the ability that Seong Su-ho had temporarily lent to him.

But why?

Just from this one experience, I felt like I had gained courage that I had never had before.

"..."Suho."

Lim Do-gyun looked at Su-ho with serious eyes.

And he revealed an important secret that he had been hiding until now.

"My father actually..."...."

"Ah, you are Lim Tae-gyu, leader of the Reaper Guild? "I know."

"I'm Tae...what? Uh, how did you do that?!"

Suho looked at Lim Do-gyun's shocked appearance in bewilderment.

"What should I do? Even though we look alike, we are so similar. "If you don't know that, you have to return your certificate of acceptance to Korea University's College of Fine Arts."

"...."

"Anyway, seeing as you're finally saying that, I guess you've gained some courage now, don't you?"

"What?"

chin.

Suho placed his hand on the shoulder of Lim Do-gyun, who looked puzzled.

And he smiled meaningfully, his eyes shining.

"So now, can you please contact your father directly?"

"W-what kind of communication?"

"I've been getting calls these days asking me to return the weapons they lent me. Haha."

"...huh?"

A class A weapon that Lim Tae-gyu lent to Su-ho before going to the Glacier Dungeon.

The 'Reaper's Bow (replica)' was no longer there because it was taken away by the ice elf Sirka who left with his mother.

Even if Suho became rich overnight, it was only 1 billion won.

No matter how much Echo Forest's spring water is selling like hotcakes, it's only been a few days since sales began.

So there was no money yet to pay for those expensive Class A weapons.

"So, take this opportunity to make peace with your father. If possible, could you please hand over the advanced dungeon to me?...."

"...."

Looking at Suho's brightest smile, the emotion on Lim Do-gyun's face quickly cooled.

***

And that time.

"...Chacha!"

Sirka was urgently calling out to Cha Hae-in, aiming the Reaper's bow (replica) at the sky.

Wow!

At those words, Cha Hae-in also looked ahead with a heavy expression.

"That can't be...."

Gray blizzard.

A huge shadow loomed beyond it.
