Chapter 221
The twenty-first century marked the emergence of Fissures and the monsters within. The world was living in the age of Hunters. Everyone possessed a Status Window, and those deemed “chosen” underwent an Awakening, granting them unique skills.
Although most people Awakened only once, some extraordinarily lucky individuals experienced a second Awakening under rare circumstances. Such was the case for Hye-Jung, the daughter of the head of Je-Il Smithy, one of Korea’s top three crafting workshops.
“Congratulations, Ms. Jung.”
“Thank you.”
Hye-Jung received a custom-made control bracelet from her secretary. It was crafted from adamantium, a material said to be mined only under rare conditions in A-rank or higher Great Fissures. Just one of these bracelets was worth over 1.5 billion won.
“Shall I try it here...?” Hye-Jung asked her secretary cautiously. She was basically asking if it would be okay to summon her monster.
Hye-Jung had awakened a taming skill, granting her the power to summon specific monsters. Her monster was none other than the B-rank monster, the Ice Tiger.
The secretary glanced nervously at the window. “I wouldn’t recommend it, miss. Not after last time...”
“R-right.”
Just last week, her Ice Tiger had smashed through a window and rampaged through the garden after it slipped out of her control. The memory still made her legs tremble. Although the control bracelet was supposed to prevent such incidents, the secretary’s job was to minimize all risks.
“Why not consult Hunter Choi Ik-Hyun?” the secretary suggested.
“Oh, Mr. Choi?”
