Chapter 117
The woman often had trouble sleeping at night.
Even while the new recruits, who had received their first day of training at the Collectors' Guild, were all asleep, the woman could not fall asleep.
In recent years, she had often suffered from insomnia due to a deep-seated fear of falling behind. This insomnia had been tormenting her relentlessly. It was inevitable.
“...I should be studying more instead of lying here...”
She didn't have any grand ambitions, but there was a sense of desperation driven by her poor circumstances. She wasn't seeking to become an exceptional person or to attract attention, but she was one of those who longed for "ordinary happiness."
"I've memorized «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» all the handouts from the Collectors' Guild."
The woman was from Carnation Isle, and she had grown up working under a hunter in an illegal guild. She had always looked for a chance to step into the light. The outstretched hand of Bisa Beul, the collector, was a golden opportunity for her.
"I'm not the only newbie here, and most importantly, I'm the lowest rank, C-class... I don’t even know if I’ll be hired. I can't just let this opportunity to receive the support of the three major guilds of Korea slip away."
The woman was currently at the dormitory of the Collectors' Guild.
"...The company operates 24 hours, right..."
She quickly gathered her things and made her way to the Collectors' Guild.
It was already past 4 AM. When she arrived, the guard standing at the entrance blinked in surprise at the woman.
