Chapter 134:
We kindly ask for your understanding regarding the inconsistency of character pronouns, particularly for the Entities (ex. The Greedy Predator). In Korean, pronouns are rarely used, making it challenging to ascertain a character's gender or identity until later narratives unfold. Update twice a week [SUN] & [THURS] starting August 2024!
“Happy New Year, everyone! Are you all having a great time on the first day of the new year? It’s finally that moment you’ve been waiting for all year!”
“Today, January 1st, marks a special occasion that captures the attention of the entire world—it’s time for the ranking announcement!”
At 6 PM, citizens across the country gathered in front of their TVs, each enjoying the first day of the new year in their own way.
Once a year, during this time, a program is broadcasted where the rankings of Korean Hunters’ activities over the past year are tallied and announced.
Though it may not be the official system’s ranking, and it might be a bit disappointing for those solely focused on exact power levels, there’s no broadcast more exciting for those who love the rankings competition.
With excitement, everyone watched the broadcast while eating or enjoying drinks.
“Last year was truly eventful. So many things happened.”
“12 years ago, or should I say 13 years ago now? It feels like it’s the first time so many things have happened since then.”
“Especially the disappearance of Cheorwon Dungeon, which had been causing people pain for a long time. We want to express our gratitude to all the Hunters who worked hard to conquer the dungeon.”
As the two MCs bowed their heads, the audience and panelists applauded, some even shedding tears of joy.
“Now, let’s get to the ranking announcement. As usual, we’ll be revealing the top 100 rankings. These rankings are based on the accumulated achievements of the Hunters’ activities over the past year.”
