Lee Juwon clicked on one of the clips with the most views.
The first scene was on the floor of Gangjin’s city centre. The ground was split by a long, black crack. A murky black light crackled and sparked.
It was deserted, without a single ant. Lonesome, only the wind blew. All the inhabitants had evacuated, and the animals had also sensed the danger and stayed away.
The only living thing there was Kang Inheon.
The camera was mounted on the security glasses he was wearing, so the appearance of Kang Inheon couldn’t be seen. The screen only showed the dungeon from his point of view.
After passing through the long entrance, a huge forest in ruins appeared.
Under the dark sky, the place was filled with ashen wood and scorched stone. Withered leaves rustled in the breeze. Before the dungeon was fully activated, chaotic tension hung in the air from the explosive situation.
Kukukukukung.
An instantaneous gust of dirt and sand blinded the view. The ground shook in the gale, and tree roots revealed themselves from the cracked earth. It was a sign of dungeon activity.
His gaze went to the sky. A large, black figure filled the dark sky, where leaves and dirt were raging on like crazy. It was the A-class bird-type monster with a huge beak and claws, the Jinjukyung.
Kwiiiiiik!
Having spotted its prey on the ground, the Jinjukyung quickly descended. It looked to be the size of a fist in the sky, but as it got closer, the Jinjukyung grew larger and larger.
Kang Inheon stared at it and drew an arc in the air with a whish. Blue smoke bloomed in the shape that his finger drew.
A hunter’s inherent energy, called pulse, varied greatly in shape and colour from hunter to hunter. The blue smoke didn’t even scatter in the violent raging wind. Rather, it combined into the shape of a long and curved stick.
The Jinjukyung, flying like it was going to power down, was almost within reach. The tip of the giant claw filled his vision. The Jinjukyung’s claws contained poison so even a graze could cause instant death. Those claws stretched out to crush Kang Inheon’s head.
His gaze travelled further up. The moment his eyes locked with the Jinjukyung just above the crown of his head, Kang Inheon grabbed the centre of the bent stick with one hand and pulled the string with the other.
The bow held no string nor any arrows, so it looked like he was just pulling at thin air. But the moment he released his right hand, blue pulse flew out like an arrow and accurately pierced the Jinjukyung’s neck.
Kwieeeek!
An ear-splitting cry rang out. The large Jinjukyung landed with a thud right in front of him. A black military boot stomped down on its head, and its grey brain matter burst with a popping sound.
Kang Inheon raised his gaze to the sky again. The already dark sky was even darker with the swarms of Jinjukyungs covering it.
He tugged again at the nonexistent string. Tang, he released the void, and dozens of blue pulse began at a single point and spread across the sky in the shape of a fan’s ribs. The dreary sky was streaked with deep blue lines.
Kwang! Kwang! Kwang! Kwang!
A swarm of Jinjukyungs, pierced precisely in the nape by shapeless arrowheads, fell to the floor with a thud as if bereft of wings.
Kwooook!
Kiiiik!
The Jinjukyungs that had once covered the sky turned into corpses and littered the ground, but that was only the beginning. Monsters swarmed in from all directions, trampling over the Jinjukyung corpses.
The camera’s focus snapped back. In a flash, the giant Ribond, who had been rapidly approaching from behind, was grabbed by the throat and slammed to the ground in Kang Inheon’s grasp.
He jabbed the stick he had been using as a bow into the Ribond’s eyeball. A gush of deep yellow mucus burst from the eyeball and splashed onto the camera’s screen.
After a moment of blindness, a gloved hand wiped the screen. In the screen smeared with mucus, Kang Inheon was instantly surrounded by dozens of monsters.
Taking advantage of his momentary stall because of the Ribond, dozens of monsters pounced on him at once. No, they tried to pounce. The beasts remained motionless, each in their own dynamic pose with forelegs raised and mouths agape.
The wind stopped for a moment. Even the leaves and dust blown by the gusts of wind floated in the air, unmoving. The only one moving in the still space was Kang Inheon.
The blue bow he was holding was engulfed in smoke and soon became as thin and slender as a rod. With a single slash, he sliced through the five monsters in the group. Twelve slashes were enough to annihilate all the monsters surrounding him.
The rod turned into blue smoke and dissipated into thin air. At the same time, the torsos of the beasts that had been severed diagonally slid slowly to the ground under the influence of gravity.
Blood poured from the severed sections like a fountain. The yellow blood flowed like a river on the dungeon floor.
The short clip, less than five minutes long, exploded in views in real-time.

I acknowledge kang inheon
┕Whats with u are u acknowledging him or not haha so funny hahaha
┕┕It seems like they were just acknowledging that hes cool so why are you talking like that?
Hes not even being careful with his body.. inheonie said his dream was to live for a long time.. why am I crying??
┕ㅠㅠㅠI feel upset, sorry, and thankfulㅠㅠ
┕Inheon-ah let’s get married and grow old together
┕┕Sowwyㅠbut inheonie my honey is next to me rn and blowing a xmas cakeㅠ
┕┕┕( ´-ㅅ･)▄︻╦╤─ bang!
Every time inheonie bursts open the head of a monster I gather money bit by bit so I was able to buy an apartment with the view of the han river and prepared our marital home so honey just come home
┕Kang inheon said he dislikes river views(interview link) please delete your comment
┕he’s sensitive to water veinsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ he even said he bought a place at pera palace because you cant see the han river from thereㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Wow~~~ a spring breeze permeates into the heart of a spring girl~~~ heon-ah~~ marry me~~~
┕Mother^^ I’m inhunter’s first marriage partner^^
Is it normal if I want to marry kang inheon even tho im a man? My heart fluttered so fucking much
┕Its normal if its kang inheon..
┕┕The national assembly passed the civil union law a long time ago so its possibleㅋㅋits possibleㅋㅋㅋ
Its great and all but…. whats he doing coming right before the dungeon explodes? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Does he have protagonist disease? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ If he was even just 5 minutes late the entrance would have burst through? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
┕Huh?? Was the dungeon suppression inhunter’s job???
┕The number of monsters in repain varies depending on the number of intruders.. so it’s indeed impossible to get a lot of hunters in there, so Kang Inheon is the only answer..
┕No but does that mean there’s a law saying kang inheon absolutely has to go? It’s said that people mistake kindness for right if they are given too much of itㅋㅋ
Did 2ju1 waste time trying the raise the compensation?
┕he said that he was late due to deteriorating weather conditions and that 2ju1 told him to prepare as soon as he heard the Gangjin news
┕┕Hm when LJW is concerned, I don’t trust kang inhunter..
┕┕2222 LJW shield botㅜ
┕┕I have a lot to say but ill keep it in since im broke
Inheon-nimㅠㅠ thank youㅠㅠ merry christmas ㅠㅠㅠ
Hunter Kang Inheon. First of all, thank you for your efforts, but I’m disappointed in your dungeon tactics. Time stops are limited to 24 hours, could you have used them more wisely? It’s more effective to use your abilities inside the dungeon after aggravating the monsters a bit instead of using them at the entrance. You suppressed the dungeon in the end, but if you had followed my advice, you could have saved a lot of time and expenses.
┕What are you saying the entrance area of repain is hell
┕Must be easy going taptaptaptaptaptap-tap! In the corner of your room huh?
I want to leave a stain on god inheon who has godfect physique, face and personality
┕Our inheonie, did u live a good life?
┕Theres already a big stainㅋ it wont leave until he drops out of Decemberㅋ
┕┕What is he, an idol? Its not ‘drop out’ its ‘resign’
I agree with the above above commenter. Hunter Kang Inheon needs to be a little more responsible with the fact that our astronomical blood taxes are used to clear dungeons. I hope he remembers that, as it says in the first chapter of the Hunter Code, their powers are not for themselves, but for the good of humanity.
┕Are u capable of stopping time in any other way than doing the plank, you can go into a dungeon and plank for the sake of humanity
┕┕And if you die it’s a win-win situation for humanity♡
┕No, the OP didn’t say anything wrong but why are they being mocked so badly? Are hunters some kind of inviolable beings? I’m too scared to say anything.
┕┕Yeah its god inheon so hes inviolable^^
┕┕The way jyojyo bugs all talk are the sameㅋㅋ aren’t u embarrassed of being split self shields? ㅋㅋ
┕Pretending to be rationalㅋ pretending to be reasonableㅋ But the only tax you pay is the VAT attached to light novels, astronomical blood tax my ass
This video is crazy he’s earned a lifetime of insult protection tickets
┕He already owned 100 insult protection tickets its going to be free share soon
I’m a resident of Gangjin.. Thanks to Hunter Kang Inheon, we were able to come home from the cold shelter and have a warm Christmas. Thank you so much for protecting my four-year-old daughter and the baby in the belly. We will continue to pray that all of our hunters stay safe and healthy as they continue to work hard for us citizens. Thank you.

Beep beep beep beep beep-!
A familiar mechanical sound pierced his ears.
Lee Juwon opened his eyes quickly. It was dark, but he could easily identify the sound. It was the sound of the alarm clock he had grown tired of hearing some time ago.
Beep beep beep beep-!
The old mattress creaked and shook at the slightest movement to turn off the alarm clock.
Before he knew it, it was morning.
He had spent the entire dawn doing research on Gnipahellir before drifting off. His research had proven fruitless. It only reaffirmed what he already knew: that very few people survived Gnipahellir, that you had 24 hours to escape after being taken in by a Gareum, and that it usually appeared in late December.
Lee Juwon stood up, removing the aubergine-coloured velvet blanket that covered his lap. He couldn’t remember where he’d picked it up from, but it was worn and frayed and had lost its unique velvety sheen. The memory foam pillow had long since lost its shape, and beside the bed, a rusted iron nightstand stood like a tower awaiting demolition.
The living room was just as spacious and empty as the bedroom, but not in the minimalist, lifeless, blank way. There was only one TV, an old-fashioned picture tube that was rarely turned on sitting on top of an MDF living room cabinet painted ultramarine blue. When Lee Juwon switched it on, a weatherman announced the day’s weather in a pleasant voice,
<Many of you are looking forward to a white Christmas this year, aren’t you? According to the National Weather Service, the central district is expecting to see snow from this evening as a cloud band with low-pressure moves in. It’s the first time in 18 years that snow has fallen on Christmas…>
Looking out the window, the sky has been overcast since morning. Grey cumulus clouds obscured the faint morning sun, making it as dark as before daybreak, and a damp winter wind whipped through the air. It looked like it was going to snow heavily any minute now.
Even if he switched to another news channel, there was no breaking news about the death of Lee Juwon, the CEO of December. The reporter only gave leisure news reports.
<According to research conducted by the British Hunter Academic Journal, the most important conditions for becoming a hunter are a strong sense of purpose, confidence in oneself, and unwavering faith. Dr. William says that while having an innate talent for being a hunter is important, the stronger your beliefs and goals, the more likely you are to manifest as a high-ranking hunter…>
“England again…”
While flicking through the channels, Lee Juwon’s attention was caught by a short news story about December.
<Hunter service company December delivered one billion won worth of donations and sponsored goods to vulnerable children for Christmas. It is a matching grant method in which the company donates the same amount to the amount raised voluntarily by employees…>
“Kang Inheon again…”
He had never done such an event before, so it was Kang Inheon’s doing. December was a company with a surprisingly high donation ranking. This was because Kang Inheon often donated money out of his own pocket and announced it in the company’s name.
Normally, he would have laughed at him for spending money on useless things, but now he didn’t feel like it. For some reason, he remembered the articles Kang Inheon had scrapped in his dream. The scene of the funeral hall also came to mind.
At Lee Juwon’s funeral, the only people closing their eyes, praying, and placing chrysanthemum flowers were the children sponsored by December. Kang Inheon had been telling him for a long time and consistently what direction he wanted the company and its CEO to take. But Lee Juwon continuously ignored him.
His head was becoming complicated, so he had to go to work. It was his habit to come to work early, even on public holidays, so he was preparing to go to work without even realizing it.
He went into the bathroom to wash up and turned on the shower. The stream of water cascaded over his head like a downpour of rain.
“Ugh…!”
Lee Juwon took a step back from the shower head. The water was too cold.
After much hesitation, Lee Juwon turned the shower handle to the side to get hot water. He put his hand under the shower head and waited for the warm water to come out, but it never did. The mystery was soon solved.
“…I turned off the boiler.”
He couldn’t remember when he turned it off. Realizing that he hadn’t even turned the tap to hot water since he moved here, he was dumbfounded anew.
“Sighhh…”
It was cold, so his breath was visible. Dream or not, it was freezing in the dungeon. He wanted to warm up with some warm water, but he didn’t feel like going out and turning on the boiler while he was dripping wet.
He decided to finish his shower as quickly as he usually did. But no matter how hard he pressed the spout of the shampoo bottle, no shampoo came out.
“…I’ve used it all.”
There wasn’t any soap in the bottle because he had added water to it and washed himself like that when there was barely any left. He couldn’t even remember when he ran out. He had no choice but to wash himself from head to toe with a thin bar of cucumber soap from the soap bar.
Drying his hair with a towel, Lee Juwon looked at his pale face reflected in the mirror. The scar on his forehead stood out as he frowned in displeasure.
Stepping out of the bathroom, Lee Juwon stood at the sink as usual and hesitated for a moment instead of pouring himself a glass of Arisu. But there was no fridge in his house, so there was no way he could have mineral water. Since he never ate or cooked at home anyway, he never bothered with a fridge because he thought it would only eat up his electricity bill.
“Sigh…”
He opened the kitchen ceiling to find it predictably empty. There were a few cans of fruit in the drawer, but they were two months past their expiry date.
Expiry dates and consumption dates were different, so it was probably okay to eat it, but he didn’t have an appetite. He wanted to eat something in another sense than filling his stomach and this wasn’t suitable.
He always left his phone and car keys on the dining table. Unlike the dream, they hadn’t disappeared and stayed there perfectly intact, but there was something unfamiliar about them.
Lee Juwon soon discovered the source of the disharmony. A blue plastic chair sat in front of the thick paulownia wood dining table. The colour and material of the few pieces of furniture in the house, which he hadn’t paid much attention to before, were out of place.
It was old and mismatched, but the quality of the furniture and objects themselves wasn’t too bad. This was because he brought in mostly discarded items that were marked as defective furniture in front of the officetel’s management office.
At the time, Lee Juwon clicked his tongue seeing how people threw away things that were still in good condition. But strangely enough, the state of the house, which usually didn’t bother him in the slightest, and even made him feel a little proud, somehow bothered him.
As he dressed like usual, he remembered what he had heard in his dream. Wasn’t it said that all the clothes he wore when he died couldn’t even add up to a hundred thousand won?
No, but still, it couldn’t be that extreme? He only bought things that were 90% off at a factory-type warehouse where the boss was crazy, and the ties he bought at the market stall were part of a deal where he could buy three for ten thousand won, but…
“There was a brand-name product that Hunter Kang had given me…?”
There was a time he went to an accompanied meeting at an end-of-the-year event hosted by the government. Kang Inheon looked Lee Juwon up and down and spat out a word.
‘Are you going dressed like that?’
Before he left, Kang Inheon handed him a suitcase engraved with the Z company’s logo and said,
‘I got this at an event, but it’s a little small.’
And what did he say after that…?
‘Don’t sell it.’
He sold it…
“……”
As Lee Juwon got ready to leave, he paused in the doorway trying to put his shoes on. Creak, he opened his shoe cabinet.
The shoes he had worn in the dungeon in his dream were uncomfortable. The memory was unpleasant and he wanted to change his shoes, but there were no other alternatives in the shoe cabinet apart from slippers with three lines on them.
As he slipped his feet back into the shoes he had worn yesterday, Lee Juwon promised himself,
I need to buy a pair of shoes.
orcinus comments:
i admire juwon’s dedication to being a cheapskate
I’m loving this story!!!
I love this. Thank you translator!
This guy just to hard on himself,,, Damnit. I’m so mad he’s not taking care of himself!!
This entire time he Still hasn’t Eaten a single thing!! -and no the snake doesn’t count. AhhhHH
Apologies.
I’m fasting right now. I’m to Hangry.
Also fasting! 😀 i think he’s finally going to take more care of himself 😤
You can clearly tell that Inheon cares about him, but Juwon does not notice it. Also, Inheon seems to be richer than Juwon or living a richer life style , is what I am thinking.
Another thing is that those comments seem to think that some comments are insulting Inheon that he only has the right/duty to protect them with his power than himself. He is doing what is right, but it doesn’t mean he can’t be selfish too. Any little mistake he makes and the people will turn against him… No wonder Juwon worries about him.
exactly!! rather than lee juwon being a person who loves money and loves to spend it, he is extremely conscious of the price of things and scared to use money, saving up constantly but never using it. a lot of civilians seem to take kang inheon for granted, as if hes obligated to be the one to always save them when it can also put him in extreme danger. hes not some undefeatable god, hes a human like the rest of them…
Thank u for the chapter
A down-to-earth chaebol….. But way too down I guess 😭
Sheesh Juwon’s cheapness is bordering on obsessive. Hope we get to see how his past caused this later.
that’s an extreme way of saving money
the same thing happened to him? what a coincidence huh..
thank you for the translations!! <3
thank you for translating the story<33
//chokes truly~ 😭 it’s amazing how he continuously lived and saved till now. At the cost of comfort and health. And black powder fans having more stuff to roast him on.
Glad that mc is starting to realize it. Also how he’s dense to ml’s care and advances and noticing them now 🤭
Was it ever mentioned why he kept living like that when he’s a bigshot now? It’s to the point that he’s suffering with how he treat himself 😔
Thanks for translating – really enjoying this novel!
Im definitely leaning towards this being some sort or learned trauma response, since he and ml are orphans. He must have had such a hard time. I hope he can start to see things from a different perspective now.
Dtesto la tacañería….guácala¡
Nah at least buy some necessary things 😭💀
I just want to hug him, feed him, put him to bed and tell him a bedtime story…
(╥_╥)
Your comment cracked me up 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why do I keep thinking it’s like scrooge set in modern dungeon /hunter fantasy BL
It’s like Xmas carol I think haha
Thanks for sharing
Because it’s based on it. It says so in the description on NovelUpdate
People like this usually grew up dirt poor and it was a struggle to even get food on the table. In real life I would say they need therapy but looks like the dungeon prefers shock therapy
