A lady sitting at the chair. She sighed when she saw the Hunters Ranking.

"Haa. That Yanhu, how can he maintain his ranking?"

It was Hamin Kim. Her class is Ice Viscount (Mage). She's stuck at 8 place. Ranking system is important, it'll give a benefits nor privilege like money, weapon rewards by the system. A hunter will be given a benefits if the hunter maintained his place at the leaderboard. Top 10 Hunters were different, unlike the top 20, 30, 40, 50..... The benefits that the top 10 will receive is higher. In short, if you're placed in too 10. You're special.

You can be replace anytime too. A hunter can gain Hunter points, everytime they hunt monster. Hunter points were the key to advance at Leaderboard. It means, Higher difficulty of the monster, the higher the points can gain.

Simultaneously, Kim Woo, who's an unregistered hunters, place at 200. Unregistered hunters will be name anonymous, so his name on ranking leaderboard is anonymous.

***

Kim Woo and Chae are on their way to home. They're entered the car. Kim Woo told their driver to " Mister, please go to the Hunters registration first." The driver said Yes.

Kim Woo cocked his head at Chae, who's sulking.

"Hey, don't worry. I can still hunt even though im an unregistered hunters right?"

He comfort the sulking Chae. "I know, shut up already."

They've arrived at Hunters registration. Luckily, the line is short.

Chae's turn. Kim Woo look at her smiling.

"Please, enter your name."

There was a big monitor. It was the registration device. The only way to register is enter your name at the device. You can't register as a hunter by a system.

Chae registered her name at the device. Its finished that easy. Then Kim Woo spoke.

"Chae, let's go to the equipment store."

Kim Woo told the driver to go to the equipment store. While in trip, Kim Woo asked Chae.

"Hey, how's your feeling?"

"What is it?"

"I mean, you're a official hunter now."

"Nothing really, just normal.

Kim Woo looked at Chae who's looking at the window. He tried once again tried to comfort the sulking Chae. "When the time's come. I'll put my name at the Hunters Ranking."

Chae finally regained her mood, thanks to his brother's word. "Ok." She said that while smiling.

They've arrived at the equipment store. The twin entered the store, and then. The twin was Bewitched when they saw the weapons around the store. Kim Woo wanted to buy too, but he already have a sword, and it's better.

He remember the sword that the Demon King gave. 'My sword is already B rated.'

It is like in natural mmorpg games, where weapons have rated, like Normal to Legendary rated nor Myth. Unlike in real world, weapons ratings is different. D to S+ rated, that what is like.

Having a B rated sword is good enough. The attack power is high enough.

***

Chae's eyes were sparkling. She saw a bow, it was a C rated bow. She pointed her finger at the C rated bow and said. "Kim Woo, I want this."

Kim Woo's frowned. He explained the Rated of the bow, making Chae bit disappointed. She wants it because of the look. The bow's look were beautiful, but its ratings is suck.

Kim Woo showed Chae a A rated bow, then Chae eyes were full of stars. The A rated bow's look was better than the C rated bow. Kim Woo take the bow to the counter, and paid for it.

Chae was so happy, the comforted mood earlier were changed.

"Now now, some armor."

Kim Woo look for a shoulder armor. He's looking for forearm and shoulder armor. Forearm armor is one of the main armor equipment for an Archer. Most important part of body for archer is the forearm.

"I can't find something good here."

His hand was placed on his jaw while looking, then Chae shout his name.

"KIM WOO!!"

Kim Woo was surprised, He quickly respond.

"Yes!?"

Chae pointed her finger at the full set armor.

The armor attracted her, her eyes were full of stars and said. "Kim Woo, i want this."

Kim Woo frowned at his bewitched sister.

"Chae, that's for a tank or warrior."

He grabbed the Forearm and Shoulder.

"This is what you need."

Chae pouted, She doesn't want to agree on her brother's choice. But then Kim Woo explained.

"Having a Heavy armor may bother you nor cause you a harm."

Chae regained her mood.

"Oh i get it, i get it."

Kim Woo smiled at the Happy Chae.

***

"Kim and Chae are late, did something happen?"

The anxious Kimchae can't stay at the same spot. She was walking side to side. Then JinHee pulled out the anxiety of Kimchae. She contacted their driver, and asked where they are.

"Hello. Mr. Leeyun?"

The driver's name is Leeyun Kan. He's 52 y/o.

"Yes Miss JinHee?"

"Where's the twin right now?"

Omitted. Leeyun explained where they are and what are they doing until he saw the twin came out at the equipments store.

"They're here Miss JinHee. I'll drive them home now."

"Oh i see, be careful."

She put her phone at her pocket.

"Mr. Leeyun said that they're buying equipments. They're on their way home, don't worry boss."

The anxiety left Kimchae's mind.

"Oh really? Thank God nothing happens."

JinHee was confused, as she saw the worried Kimchae. She meant 'As far as i know. Demon Knight class is powerful enough to defend himself. But why'd boss was very anxious?'

She asked something about her boss.

"Boss why'd you look anxious?"

Kimchae gaze at JinHee and spoke.

"Kim Woo is a reckless person."

Then.

"I suddenly came here in South Korea because of Kim Woo."

JinHee asked her again. Then her unsolved problem was solved.

"Why'd you suddenly came back here in South Korea boss? I've been wondering for a while now."

Kimchae grabbed her phone. She open the gallery and showed the unconscious Kim Woo leaning at the wall with a spear stabbed his belly.

"What is this boss? It's kinda awful."

Kimchae zoomed the photo. Then JinHee's face began to pale when she saw the awful Kim Woo.

"The time when we moved here. I secretly took a chat on Chae."

Kimchae explained what they've talked to JinHee.

"I asked Chae about what happened that time. She said it's her fault, it is like the event that happened when father died."

JinHee carefully listen to Kimchae. He wants to know what happened after the event(Chivalry event).

"She saw spear landed on Kim Woo's belly. She told me that, that time Kim Woo's still unawakened."

The Silenced JinHee open her mouth.

"How? How'd Kim Woo survived this? Even an awakened person can't survived this."

Kimchae continue her story.

"She told that, the Chivalry pulled out the spear on Kim Woo, and when she's about to get stab. Kim Woo rose from his sit and stopped the spear. She told me that, a purple flames was emerged at Kim Woo eyes until the sclera can't be seen."

"A purple flames?"

"Yes. Then he punched the Chivalry away at stabbed its spear on it. That's all."

JinHee, who's listening to Kimchae spoke.

"I can't believe it. He faced the A rank Chivalry unawakened."

Kimchae gaze at JinHee and smile. While JinHee's thinking of something. 'His courageous act. I can't, im really gonna fall on him.' She's thinking that while her cheeks was flushed in red.

They've arrived. Chae who's so happy because of her gifts from her brother quickly went to her room. She changed clothes. She suddenly reminded. "Is this a gift because it's our birthday?" Her face was pale, as she thinks that she doesn't have a gift for her brother.

***

"Kim Woo tell your sister to dress up. Where eating outside."

Kim Woo stop her. He doesn't want to celebrate outside, he wants to celebrate inside.

"It's ok mom. Let's just eat here happily, im contented on that." He said that with a smile.

Chae who's walking downstairs heard them.

"Agreed. Let's eat here."

Kim Woo's face were smug , why?

"That's the first time you agreed at my opinion without dissatisfaction. Hehe."

"It's not like that! Im just tired you know!"

Chae didn't want to admit it. Then she suddenly clear her throat and shyly spoke.

"Ahem! By the way, Tha... Thank for the equipments you bought."

Kim Woo smiled at her and told her that. "Don't mind. That's what you need you know."

She looked down. Why? She doesn't have a gift for him.

"Im sorry, i don't have a gift for you."

"Don't worry about that. Anyways let's start cooking mom."

Kimchae who's listening to them, was so happy. Ever since their father's died. Chae put a grudge on Kim Woo. But now everything's changed.

"By the way, JinHee could buy a beer? hehe. Heokk!!"

Kimchae hit him in the head, as she heard the beer.

"What do you mean beer? Huh?!!"

"Ah hehehe. Im just joking you know."

He scratched his head and said.

"By the way. Mom use some healing magic on me. That's hurt you know."

"Oh sorry."

Kimchae put her hand at Kim Woo's head, where she hit him.

Kimchae glanced at JinHee, while Chae saw her mom glanced at JinHee. She went to her mom's side and asked.

"Mom did something happen."

Then she saw JinHee took out a maroon bracelet box on her pocket. Chae eyes were widened.

JinHee called Kim Woo and gift him the bracelet. "Kim Woo. Happy birthday."

Kim Woo took a look at the box. 'It was expensive.' That's what he think. He asked JinHee.

"Why are you giving me this expensive?"

JinHee looked down on the ground, her cheeks was flushed red. Her shyly voice when she's with Kim Woo spoke.

"It's your birthday, don't mind it if it is expensive."

Chae's jaw dropped, as she watched both. She then think of Hyemi. 'Im sorry Hyemi. Do your best to get Kim Woo.'

Which side is she? Is she on Hyemi's Side? Or JinHee's side? It's none of them. She like them both. Doesn't matter who win.

Back to Kim Woo and JinHee.

"Umm... Thank you, im gonna treasure this."

And then a smile. JinHee who's looking at the ground, gaze at Kim Woo. She directly look at him and smiled.

Meanwhile, Kimchae who's watching the scene, interrupt them. "Alright, let's cook for dinner."

***

The dinner's end.

Kim Woo's lying in bed now. He look at the expensive bracelet that JinHee gave.

"I wonder why JinHee gave me this expensive bracelet."

He stand up and grabbed his barbell. He wants to raise his strength, as soon as possible. No one knows when a monster and gates will occur. He needs to be cautious nor aware.

While raising his strength, something came up on his mind. 'Don't tell me, JinHee likes me?'

His face blushed a little bit. He wants to figure that out, but the thing is, If JinHee confess to him. What would he answer.

'I don't wanna be a dense. Should i ask her if she likes me?' He shook his head, He disagreed at his own opinion. He knew that he'll be embarrassed. But still, he wants to figure out.

"Ah im sleepy. Im just gonna sleep."

The next day. Kim Woo jogged 5KM. His stamina increase by 10 points.
