The one who soloed the dungeon outbreak in Central Town, and he is an awakener of the Wind attribute type, he made a contract with the fearsome wind entity of unknown kind.

Russia's Top Guild - "Hell Bear"

This guild is the largest out of all the guild in terms of numbers of members, as their whole military system is remolded into the hunter based system, meaning the hunters are not only for countering against the monsters attack or dungeon raiding, they also served as a main combat force in case when the foreign forces invade their territory. The leader of the guild has a very high military ranking status, the legend say that he soloed all 10 middle ranked dungeon outbreaks to prevent further casualties from his guild. Also again, his information are classified at the national interest, but some people say that he can create massive ice attacks. Code Name - "Snow of Death".

Each top guild form five origins shared the monster's market trade mark as the global business and each of them owns 20% of the trademark and therefore, hunters and awakeners from all different countries had to go to the five origin to get a deal with their required monster corpses or to sell their loots with the best prices they can get. For some reason, the monster's market doesn't do online business like Hunter's market or Underground Black Market. They are quite straight forward and they do take business seriously on the a larger scale than any of their rivals.

With different backgrounds and different origins, the five top guilds from five different countries sell the loots they got from the dungeon, gate or even cracks at their home country's monster market. If a customer from USA want to buy the drop from the Korea's server of monster market, he had to make a list of what he needs and pay 50% upfront at the USA's server of monster market, and then his list of requested items are being transported from Korea via many means, while the most expensive and secured one is "Long distance teleportation". The same rules applied to others from different countries but the monster's market official building are only based in 5 origin countries under the protection of the five top guild in the world.

But there are a lot of rivals and private organizations run by the individual hunters or military officials. Here are a few of them, "Black Market" a place where illegal business gathers, including hunters related businesses to illegal dungeon raiding and even assassination request. Most of the products on the black market are expensive but some of them are also very rare items that can't be assessed by the normal people unless one has some kind of military status or authority. And also China and Russia has their own network connecting a few of small nations and doing a small version of global market of their own system. "China Republic of Hunter's Market(CRHM)", they provide their service for the hunters from Guilds in China or hunters hired by the Chinese Organization. Unlike Global Hunter's Market, in CRHM, the transaction are made by the seller and buyer directly with a trade of magi stones and product not in USD or any other nations' currencies. Only magi stones and dungeons' drops, spoils of hunting crack monsters as well as corpses, items from the gate. Russia has its network systems which is called (RUH) Russian Union of hunters, they provides private hunters and awakeners as mercenaries for the rich people as bodyguards and their transaction are mostly between buying a contract with a private unregistered hunters or awakeners with any accepted currency or magi stones. But deep inside the darkness of Tokyo, something of the same case is happening as well,....

Man walking : (foot steps..... foot steps)

Trains passing : (noise) (noise)

A man walked in the dark of Tokyo's Night with a mysterious aura, he hold a lollipop in his mouth, he has a tattoo of dragon over his right arm while his left hand is filled with bruise and cut wound(healed). He slowly walked in the rain while a pair of teenage of girls passed beside him, chatting and laughing.

The man: smirk.

One of the girl suddenly turned back and slowly approached him the mysterious man.

The girl: "Hey, I like your style, can I get your number?" (Japanese)

The man: ~~~~ Ah...

The girl suddenly felt the chill down her spine just like she just had been swallowed alive by the giant monster.

The man: ~~~~~Oh, you flinched a little bit, you feel it right. Well, no matter how good at hiding you are. They always show some signs no matter how experience they are.

The girl: (Japanese) (Eeeeh, what are you saying?)

The man: (Japanese) (Like I said, you all act the same way to me, right?)

"A sharp blade suddenly come right into his back head, the man vanished in a sec,"

"Where did he go?"

"I was wondering why there are no contact waiting here todays, masakka～Did you guys kill him?"

The girls:(Assassin) That is none of the dead man business. The girls fiercely attacked the man but no matter how much they cooperated their attack, they can't seem to land a hit on the man.

The man: "That's a shame, Do you guys know that he is still a virgin? Poor guy."

The Assassins : ........

The man: Alright, enough playing... "Ghost Walk", he body fainted the light like he is a ghost, his movement are hard to catch and in the dark, he is literally invisible. The man cut down the ankle of both assassins in an instant, he cut all the tendons of two arms and two legs. The assassins can't move... while one assassins quickly swallowed a pill hidden inside her face teeth capsule.

The man: No, you don't.

He punched the assassins right in the upper middle of the stomach, the assassins vomited everything.

The Man: You guys make two mistakes, one no girls here is brave or stupid enough to make a first conversation to a scary looking guy like me. And two your accent is very weird, you know that right.

The Assassins: "Go die(in russian)"

The Man: I don't know the language but I know that you are not from here. So, you guys are already infiltrated this far right. How naive of you to think, you two normal assassins can kill me. But, you shouldn't kill that guy, he was the only virgin I found nowadays, the ritual is getting nearer and nearer. You know it is hard to find a pure virgin nowadays, I can't find even a single woman out there. Now, you guys kill him. So, tell.... are you guys virgins? (evil look)

The assassins were dragged by their legs by the man in darkness......
