Synopsis

The chapter opens with a flashback to the introduction of hunters and dungeons eight years prior, focusing on Yoojin's struggles and his reliance on a survival skill. The current timeline shows Yoojin being mistreated by his party due to his F-rank status and a reputation as a 'parasite' who brings misfortune, but a team leader intervenes on his behalf. The chapter establishes a world where hunters are a career and economic force, but also highlights the dangers and prejudices faced by lower-ranked hunters like Yoojin. It ends with Yoojin being physically strengthened for the upcoming dungeon raid.
