Chapter 35: (1): Season 1: Preparation

Originally, the Union was considered a collective of guilds. Individually, they lacked power, but as a group, they gained strength. It was initially formed for the advancement of slayers rights. However, the situation was slightly different in the United States. The concept of the Union evolved beyond a simple alliance and became a higher guild that integrated and managed other guilds. Other countries were also gradually transforming their Union into a form similar to that of the United States.

In most countries, the Monster Stones dropped during monster slaying were managed at the national level, and the government obtained profits from them. The United States established the Union as the first in the world and through legitimate struggles with the government, managed to lower taxes and obtain more reasonable prices.

Guilds affiliated with the Union were able to engage in slaying with lower taxes and greater benefits. The United States was rich in monster resources, especially because of the large number of orcs, making it a country with significant advantages in slaying. Currently, orcs were considered the most efficient target for slaying based on the slayers skills. Monsters weaker than trolls were too strong, while those weaker than orcs

By joining the Union, guilds could obtain more detailed monster maps, and in case of conflicts among slayers, the Union mediated. They also established an independent trading system to facilitate faster and more convenient item transactions between slayers.

The American Union feels like an organization above the guilds.

Above the guilds, there were higher guilds. Guilds paid a portion of their profits and maintenance costs to the Union.

The taxes levied on Union-affiliated guilds and non-Union-affiliated guilds are different.

When joining the Union, slayers paid taxes to the Union. It was not a perfect analogy, but the Union was like a large company, and the guilds could be considered employees. It resembled the time when guilds were affiliated with major corporations. The only difference was that back then, the owners were the companies themselves, whereas now it had become the Union.

In any case, most guilds in the United States opted to join the Union because it brought significant benefits to the guilds. The American Union was regarded as the most successful form of Union and secured its position.

Its definitely a clear benefit for me.

There was no need to think or hesitate. To have the best slayer treated the best, what harm could it bring? After carefully considering the details, there was nothing that would make the situation worse than it currently was.

But

In the end, Hyun-seok declined the offer to go to the United States.New novel chapters are published on

The reasons could be summarized into three. Without delving into difficult words and explanations, first and foremost was loyalty. The Korean Union had only recently been established and was still in the process of solidifying its position. In that regard, the presence of a Platinum Slayer could significantly elevate the status of the Korean Union.

Jong-won, on the other hand, initially recommended going to the United States. It was undoubtedly a favorable condition. However, he didnt oppose Hyun-seoks decision. He just marveled at it slightly.

Oh, my. The risk-averse person has changed a lot, huh?

Shut up, man.

Well, you know its better for me that you stay in Korea. Ill receive great benefits even as a low-level slayer. Leveling up is for the ignorant ones who rely on brute force. You are a hidden gem.

Low-level my a*s.

Its true.

Jong-won chuckled.

Even if I go, will I go alone? Ill take my guild members with me.

Pfft, as if! If you get into any situation, let me get it in with you. Dont act like a superhero. Sung-hyung would scold me for being useless. I cant stand seeing that. Isnt it better to have a foxs head than a dragons tail?

Youre more like a snakes head than a foxs tail, arent you?

Jong-won was taken aback.

Thats true. But hey, arent you one of those? Some kind of hidden class came out
