The world’s attention was fixed on Japan.

An SS-ranked dungeon raid—a feat no country had yet accomplished—was about to see its second attempt. The unknown, waiting to be conquered, had Japan boldly taking its next step.

But that wasn’t the only reason for the global focus.

There was another matter captivating the public: Jeong Si-Hyun’s participation.

Though she had not yet received official recognition from the World Hunter Association, Si-Hyun’s fame had been skyrocketing ever since her remarkable performance near a Tokyo beach. Videos of her actions continued to trend, their view counts rising in real-time.

And now, she was stepping forward herself.

To conquer the world’s first SS-ranked dungeon.

With just five team members.@@novelbin@@

It was a move as audacious as it was groundbreaking.

If the raid succeeded, Si-Hyun’s name, alongside her team’s, would be etched into hunter history. As the first conquerors of an SS-ranked dungeon, they would become legends for surmounting the impossible.

Buzz, buzz—

The Minato Mirai coastline in Yokohama was filled with a crowd of people.

Under the blue sky, the iconic Landmark Tower stood tall, and the glittering ocean framed the beautiful city.

But the gathering wasn’t for sightseeing.

A massive gate had appeared on one side of the city.

Officials from the Hunter Bureau and local police were rigorously controlling the area around the gate. The onlookers kept their distance, their faces a mix of fear and curiosity.

“Do you think they’ll really succeed?”

“They have to! If they fail, we’re in real trouble.”

“Yeah, but…”

The young woman who had been chatting turned her gaze toward the gate—a dark, ominous hole that seemed ready to spew something monstrous at any moment.

Just looking at it gave her the eerie sensation of being pulled inside.

A fear of the unknown.
