Excited to begin their journey, the group receives their Hunter's license and prepares to venture out into the world. They are approached by several guilds eager to recruit them, but they are all lower-ranked guilds. Eventually, they catch the attention of the Chimera Guild, an S-ranked guild that has been watching them closely.

The Vice Guild Leader of Chimera Guild approaches them with an offer: a powerful S-class item and 10 Infinity coins, a rare currency that can be used to purchase valuable items in the Status Panel. However, the group hears rumors about the Chimera Guild being involved in shady activities.

"We appreciate the offer, but we must decline," Ryan spoke up, her voice confident but firm.

The vice leader's smile faltered for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. "Very well. But remember, opportunities like this do not come often. You may regret your decision later."

With that, he and his guildmates left the area, leaving the three hunters to discuss their next move.

"I don't trust them," Emma said, her fists clenched. "We made the right choice."

The Vice Guild Leader's smile turns sinister, and the group begins to realize that their journey will be full of challenges and danger. Despite the temptation of power and riches, they remain true to their values and set out to discover the secrets of the depths outside.
