Guo Chen, he had only been a Hunter for three months.

Before becoming a Hunter, Guo Chen was just an odd-jobber. During the day, he worked at a restaurant, and at night, he became a cashier at a convenience store. He did whatever he could to make a living.

Guo Chen who didn’t have any skills was at the very bottom of the social pyramid. Everyday hebsaw other people enjoying their lives. Meanwhile, he had to work hard so that he could still fill his stomach.

His days were just filled with work, work, and work. However, he didn’t complain, because everyone had their own fate and time. He was sure that one day the time would come for him.

And it turned out his fate had come. Guo Chen was awakened as a Hunter.

“This is the turning point in my life!”

Every day, from behind the TV screen, Guo Chen watched the news of a Hunter who achieved glory after entering the Dungeon. Their lives changed 180 degrees after becoming a Hunter. Expensive watches, sports cars, and all-brand clothes, they all had that luxury.

Guo Chen was not tempted by the pleasure that the world had offered, but everything he saw gave him a strong motivation that he could live a better life.

Every day he practiced, day and night, he hunted various monsters in the Dungeon.

Starting from the lowest monster like slime, blood-sucking bats, wild boars to monsters that were strong enough for novice Hunters like goblins.

Of course, hunting monsters was not a simple matter. For Guo Chen, the hardest part was killing monsters with his own hands. The senior Hunters gave him advice on equating monsters with farm animals so he could kill him easily.

“They’re not humans, just think of them as animals.”

Although it was difficult at first, Guo Chen was finally able to handle it. If he wanted to grow, he had to cross his boundaries.

Little by little, Guo Chen accumulated experience and continued to level up. His fighting techniques were also developing with the difficulty of the monsters he had fought.

In fact, he often changed teams. Not because he was incompatible with others, but so that he could adapt to various conditions. Thanks to this habit, Guo Chen could understand each character of the Hunters. He could lead and unite people with different mindsets.

It didn’t take long for him to become a very well-known figure among the local Hunters.

Guo Chen was sure, as long as the team was solid, he could deal with any threats in the Dungeon. However, he forgot one important thing.

The situation changed rapidly. In a short time, the threat of Hunters in the Dungeon was not just monsters. Even their own race, humans. We could die in human hands.

And right now, Guo Chen was being surrounded by a group of humans.

Guo Chen managed to collect 100 grams of Power Crystal after coming out of a cave containing thousands of blood-sucking bats, along with his four new friends who he met on the internet.

Unexpectedly, when he came out to the mouth of the cave, 15 fully armed people were waiting for his arrival. From the news circulating among the Hunters, these people were known as the Leechers. A group of people who attacked Hunters to steal Power Crystals and monster prey.

Although their actions were classified as criminal, they couldn’t be touched by the law. It was difficult to prove the actions of those who violated the law. Since there were no witnesses or law enforcement in the Dungeon, anything could happen.

That’s why the Leechers grew rapidly, like bacteria.

“Hey! If you want to be safe, hand over all the Power Crystals you get!” One of the bald-headed Leecher group leaders shouted.

Of course, Guo Chen would not believe his words easily. The Leechers were known to kill each of their victims after they got what they wanted. The four people who were his comrades looked terrified in the face of Leecher’s group.

At first glance, this scene looked a little strange. They were not afraid to enter the monster’s lair. Then, why were they afraid to face the Leecher?

Because the Leecher was human. Guo Chen’s group might be stronger than Leecher’s group, but killing humans and killing monsters were two different things.

If killing monsters or eating animals was called survival, then killing humans was called immoral. They couldn’t kill the Leechers because morality prevented them.

“Guo Chen, should we just hand over the Power Crystal?” One of his comrades persuaded Guo Chen.

However, Guo Chen didn’t want to give up easily. He still wanted to fight without having to kill them.

“No, we have to fight. Don’t believe what they say. Whether we surrender or not, they will kill us.”

He tried to explain to his four comrades that they would survive against the Leechers. And his four comrades agreed with Guo Chen.

Guo Chen stepped forward to launch an attack. “If you want our Power Crystal, go ahead and get it yourself.”

Hearing the taunt from Guo Chen, of course, the Leechers were furious. The leader of the Leechers, the bald-headed man, said, “Well, if that’s what you want, attack!”

Fifteen people attacked Guo Chen’s group. The second clash was inevitable.

Bravely, Guo Chen took the lead against Leecher’s group. His sword swung, fending every incoming attack off and countering back, without striking the enemy’s vital

Meanwhile, Guo Chen’s three comrades protected one of the female healers who became the heart of their defense.

“What are you guys doing? Attack! Your enemies are only 5 people!”

Even though the Leecher’s group had 15 people, they couldn’t deal with Guo Chen alone. Guo Chen completely dominated the fight.

Unfortunately, it didn’t last long.

“Arrgh!”

One of Guo Chen’s comrades was slashed by a sword. As a result, their defense to protect the Healer was reduced by one.

“Xiao Lu!” Guo Chen screamed.

Slash! Splat—!

“Argh!”

The sword tore at Guo Cheng’s back. Blood dripped down onto the ground. Instantly, he collapsed, but the bad things didn’t stop there.

“No!”

Slash! Slash! Slash!

He had to watch his comrades being killed by the Leechers one by one. There was one female healer who was still alive, but her body was badly injured.

Guo Chen was furious. He grabbed his sword and quickly got up. Then, with all his remaining strength, he charged at the Leechers.

“Fuck! You will all pay for it.”

Slash! One Leecher fell.

Slash! Two Leecher fell.

Guo Chen didn’t care anymore, he put his morality aside. He swung his sword as hard as he could, the sensation of slicing through flesh and bone could be felt in his hands.

“Hey!”

The Leechers suddenly panicked. A seriously injured person turned into a ferocious monster capable of killing anyone.

“Quickly kill this man, before he kills you,” the bald-headed man shouted.

Even though Guo Chen had tried his best, his body was badly injured. There was already a lot of blood flowing out of his body. The swing of his sword grew weaker and his vision began to hazy.

One of the Leechers saw Guo Chen let his guard down. Then, he took the opportunity.

Bang!

“Argh!”

A hard kick landed on Guo Chen’s back. Instantly, he collapsed to the ground. He tried to get up, but there was no more energy left. At the same time, his body felt cold and everything seemed to be getting dark.

Guo Chen saw that the bald-headed Leecher leader seemed to say something. However, he couldn’t hear it.

‘Is this the end?’

Gradually, Guo Chen’s eyelids grew heavier. In the last moment, before his eyes closed, he saw the figure of a white-haired man walking towards him.
