Synopsis
In a flashback, Hyeonu's uncle leaves him at the Boram Children's home. He tells him to avoid getting into trouble, pretend that he has parents, respect the teachers, and don't talk over others. After that he drove off with his inheritance in tow. Following the death of Hyeonu's parents from a car crash, he was left at this orphanage bu his uncle who also took his inheritance. Sihyeon suspects that this might be the cause for his misanthropic behavior. Although he typically calm, those who threatened or cross him will feel his twisted wrath.

Back in the present, Hyeonu is stared sown by Adoron, who asks him which body part he should start experimenting. Hyeonu tells him to stop and quickly delivers a powerful kick that kills him. The small hunter party watches in awe as they witness the swift take down. With Adoron defeated, Hyeonu pulls up his HUD to view his next objective. The small hunter party quickly realize that he is the Advanced Player.

At the Korean Ares Guild office, Cheonmyeon Woo is approach by Byeonguk Yu who hands him a Hyeonu Kim's file, since Seonu Heuk hasn't brief him yet. After reviewing his stats, he notes that he ranks A in two categories and asks about the accuracy. Byeonguk says that the stats are just predictions. Cheonmyeong is impressed as he notes Hyeonu is a monster. He then asks if he's needed to take care of him and Byeonguk states that Seonu Huek only ordered him to "rough him up at bit." He notes it shouldn't be a problem to let him do as he pleases. Cheongmyeong notes about Hyeonu's intrusion into Adoron's Laboratory and how their hunters were unable to stop him. He says it will be hard to "rough him up a bit." He states that tacking this should be done discretly, as Seonu has his hand full dealing with China.

In China, the young Pado Guild is up and rising. They have taken control of half of China's dungeons since its founding two years ago. The guild master behind their success emerged from a tower four years ago and all of its high-ranking members are known for their monstrous abilities. The most mysterious aspect of this guild is the guild master. She's ranked 5th among the world's S-rank hunters but her identity is still unknown. With all that, Cheonmyeon notes that they can't really worry about Hyeonu so much he'll hire a specialist to handle him.

In Sihyeon apartment, Hyeonu has been playing around with a new smartphone that Sihyeon bought him for the past three hours. Sihyeon then remembers that Hyeonu asked about the Village in the Woodlands as his guild, the Seoul Guild, owns that dungeon. However, the boss won't be there at the moment. Hyeonu was playing a mobile game and dies, but then recalls what Sihyeon says and asks why. Sihyeon says that he was defeated a few weeks ago but Hyeonu was confused about it. Sihyeon explains that dungeons are different than the tower where tower monsters take about a day to respawn. Dungeons are different were regular monsters will continue to appear no matter how many times they're defeated. Dungeons bosses take more time than regular and it varies depending on the dungeon. For the Village in the Woodland, Sihyeon notes that it takes about a month. Hyeonu says he can't wait that long but Sihyeon tells him that the boss was beaten four weeks ago and should respawn in two days.

Hyeonu asks about the Swamp in View, but Sihyeon doesn't know much about it as it's Ares Guild property. Hyeonu gets upset that there's so much work just to defeat a monster. Sihyeon asks him if he's going to get his grade registered at the hunters association. Hyeonu asks about the purpose and Sihyeon replies that getting his grade registered will grant him perks such as association-related facilities and money. Hearing the last part catches his attention and Hyeonu asks if he can get money for hardly doing anything. Sihyeon says that one must provide resuly every two to three months. Sihyeon sas that they pay for B-ranks is ₩1.3 million and A-ranks earn ₩2.5 million. There's also a large gap in pay between ranks A and S as Sihyeon's pay is ₩7 million. Hyeonu is shocked to hear this and wants to go register now. Sihyeon tells him it's closed now, and Hyeonu replies tomorrow.
