Chapter 10: (1): Season 1 – Preparation

Its best not to mess with crazy people, was Hyun-seoks usual stance. Hyun-seok was the type to pay attention to detail. He wasnt extremely rigid about it, but he wasnt as moody as Jong-won.

I think theyve made up their minds this time.

Laws dont change in the blink of an eye. Although there is a high possibility of revision since it has already become an issue, it is not likely to happen immediately. As a result of this incident, there were also those who became Yamchejok (a derogatory term for players who take items without contributing) and acted as counter-teachers, dividing their team members to lightly strike monsters in the vicinity and then take 20% of the item share.

Laws may not be adapting quickly to this age of rapid change, but people are. Soon, slayers will begin to form large-scale alliances on their own. Guild members from major corporations were not restricted by their status, but rather, they became the mainstay of the alliance. This became known as the Union, and it was a phenomenon that occurred not only in Korea but also worldwide.

In any case, whats interesting is that the one who founded Koreas first Union was none other than Jong-won. Jong-won felt a great sense of revenge against the Yamchejok Trio and declared that he wouldnt just sit still. Just then, some Yamchejok began to spread their wings, and the strong slayers supported Jong-won. Jong-won didnt initially plan to establish the Union. He just wanted to create a group to discipline those Yamchejok.

The law wasnt going to change, and the Yamchejok were becoming more and more dominant. The frustrated slayers took action themselves. Thus, the organization called Cheokgyeoljo, founded by Jong-won, emerged. It could be said that this was the prototype of the Korean Union.

Jong-wons first target was the Yamchejok Trio.

Jong-won tormented them to the point of obsession. Jong-won was truly insane. He relentlessly tormented the three of them by thoroughly analyzing their strengths until they were on the brink of death. He didnt directly harm them. Instead, he intentionally lured monsters to attack the three and would attack the monster that the three targeted first to evenly split the spoils.

He even went as far as to strangle monsters that the three had already worn down to the point of exhaustion. The person (or guild) who attacked the monster first would receive 20% of the loot, and the person (or guild) who delivered the final blow would receive another 20%. Of course, there werent many people who knew about this at the time, and there were no guilds that distributed income according to this law. Nonetheless, Jong-won took full advantage of this.

When it comes to dealing with these kids, isnt this going too far?

When Hyun-seok, who couldnt bear to watch, asked, Ha Jong-won replied, You have to show them a lesson at times like this. The law isnt there to be obeyed, its there to be exploited. With a wry smile, he relentlessly pursued the three. Even Hyun-seok, who could be considered a victim, was speechless.

In fact, Hyun-seok had quit his part-time job as a translator a long time ago. He wasnt obsessed with slaying monsters, but whenever he had free time or needed money, or when he was bored, he relied on Jong-wons help and went slaying. Over the past three months, he had hunted an orc and about 10 male deer monsters, and earned more than 60 million won, split evenly with Jong-won.

Actually, even though Hyun-seok didnt have much desire for materialistic things, his heart was drawn to them.

Its definitely an attractive job.

Thats because Hyun-seok had such a deceitful stat. Typically, Slayer who focused on slaying monsters made around 300-500 won a month, assuming they had skills. It was generally advisable to avoid monsters like orcs, known to be the strongest currently, and run away. Orc shields were incredibly powerful, so it was hard to even leave a scratch with an average attack. Although it wasnt widely discussed, the prevailing opinion was that one needed a strength stat of 40 or higher to break through their shield.

But I dont know

He already had a steady job as a breadwinner. He didnt have much desire to earn a lot of money. However, it was a fact that he was gradually getting into slaying without realizing it. He had previously said he wouldnt do any slaying, but he had hunted more than ten monsters in just three months.

And it wasnt necessary to quit his current job just because he wanted to become a Slayer. So it wasnt much of a problem. He thought it was a good idea to switch to a full-time Slayer if he ever felt like it in the future. That alone was a significant psychological change for Hyun-seok. Anyway, Hyun-seok wasnt much of a problem.

The problem was Min-seo.
