"So, what level are you at now?" Jason asked Jin-Woo who was stuffing his face with the food.

Jin-Woo paused and gulped down the food in his mouth before speaking. "I'm 99!"

"99? Good. Now, you're ready for the next thing." Jason clapped his hand and said excitedly.

Jin-Woo stared at him, puzzled, asking. "Umm, what do you mean, Hyung-nim?"

Jason smiled mysteriously. "You'll understand everything tomorrow. Get some proper rest today because tomorrow, you'll be going to have the best battle of your life."

"Are you going to fight me yourself, Hyung-nim?" Jin-Woo asked.

Jason shook his head. "Even if I fight with you, you can't raise your level from that. Just listen to my words and come to the office on time."

"Yes, Hyung-nim." Jin-Woo nodded his head, back to eating his portion of food.

Today, Jason had invited his little brother to his villa.

It was just an understatement that Jin-Woo was shocked.

He almost lost his consciousness watching dozens of beautiful women in his apartment, flirting with Jason.

He was familiar with a few of them like Huyan Lanruo, Huang Ying, and even the popular model Yoo Soohyun.

It was such a shocker for the young man.

He kept glancing at Cha Hae-In for any reaction but contrary to his expectations she just smiled, not troubled by anything at all.

He couldn't believe his eyes as he stared at her with his mouth agape for an entire minute.

Everything was so awkward until Jason brought dinner for everyone when just looking at the hot and steamy dishes, they all couldn't help but gulp down their saliva, with their stomach making weird noises.

Jin-Woo spent around 2-3 hours at Jason's villa, getting familiar with everyone. He was surprised to learn that all of them were S or higher-rank hunters.

The overall strength could even exceed all the National Hunters except for Jason combined.

Jin-Woo needed quite some time to digest this information so he took his leave since tomorrow was going to be a hectic day for him.

Jason watched the guy leave before joining the girls back at the villa who were hungry for some dessert.

He sighed with a smile, watching them staring at him like a pack of wolves did to its prey but it's a shame that he was the King of the Jungle and the girls were his prey.

Soon, the villa exploded with the sounds of womanly moans, echoing all over the estate.

If Jin-Woo was here, he would be so embarrassed!

The next day, Jin-Woo woke up and freshened up for the challenge. After a healthy breakfast, he explained to his family about today's raid.

His father patted his shoulder, advising him to not put pressure on himself. He was still alive and could handle it for a few more years.

Jin-Woo assured his father, saying that with Jason around, there were no threats at all.

Il-Hwan smiled at his son, trying to assure him, rubbing his head and stating that the kid had finally grown up.

He also told him to follow Jason closely since he could learn many valuable things from the Guild Master.

Taking his Bugatti Chiron, his gift for getting an S-rank, he made his way towards Jason's office.

"Hyung-nim, I'm here." Jin-Woo announced as he entered the cabin.

Jason smiled at him and patted his shoulder before escorting him to the training ground which was built underground.

"Hyung-nim, what're we doing here?"

Jason looked at him before he snapped his finger and a gate popped open in the middle, hovering in the space.

"W-What...? This is a gate! Hyung-nim, you can create gates too?" Jin-Woo was shell-shocked, asking in confusion.

Jason smiled and did not prefer to answer him. Rather than that, he said. "You should focus on your goal for today. Let me make it clear. The one that you're going to fight is different from everyone else. Even the Demon King Baran paled in comparison since he was just a nerfed copy."

Glancing at the gate, he continued. "After Kamish, he might be the strongest opponent that I met."

"Even stronger than Ashborn?" Jin-Woo asked curiously.

Jason smacked him on the head. "Don't judge a Monarch with such absurd logic! Monarchs are on another level altogether as they can command millions of like him."

*Sss!*

Jin-Woo sucked a cold breath, feeling moved by it. "So strong!... Then, in the future, I can..."

"Yeah. You will be able to do that too. You might even be able to summon millions of soldiers and command them. You'll be like a God of War!"

Jin-Woo imaged the scenario and couldn't help but feel the itch to experience it once. He wanted to crush all his opponents while ruling the battlefield.

"But that's for the future. Today, this is your one of the most challenging fights. So, Good Luck!" Jason popped his imaginary bubble, bringing him back to reality.

Jin-Woo bowed his head and walked inside the gate, summoning his daggers into his hands.

[You've entered a dungeon.]

The familiar beep voice sounded, making his heart pump up in excitement.

Jason watched him and smirked. "Good kid. I can't wait to see your potential blooming into a massive force of destruction. Let's see what type of path will you choose in the end."

Jin-Woo continued to walk deeper into the dungeon with his perception pushed to the maximum limit. He was not going to take the thing lightly when even Jason had praised him so much.

When Jin-Woo had reached half the distance into a big hall where bones of various beasts were lying around, a powerful aura locked onto him out of nowhere as pressure descended on his body.

''This… you're telling me that this is the power possessed by a single monster?? What type of pet did Hyung-nim rear here anyway?'

He turned around and gazed at the second entrance where a figure could be seen glaring at Jin-Woo with an intense bloodlust.

Gulp.

It was just a single monster, yet the atmosphere turned even more grave.

Kiiiiieeeeeeehhhhh…..!!!

The Ant King screamed at the top of its lungs, shaking the interior of the cave.

Jin-Woo raised his hand, ready to counter as he stared at the humanoid-shaped Ant, walking towards him.

Suddenly it disappeared from Jin-Woo's view.

Clang!

Jin-Woo raised his hand to the left and clashed with its claws, sparks flashed from the impact.

An intense battle began in the big hall between a human and a beast, ready to tear each other.

But in the end, it's Jin-Woo who came up on top, finally able to kill the Ant King.

Tti-ring!

[You have killed your enemy.]

[Level up!]

[Level up!] 

[Level up!] 

[Level up!] 

'Niiice!'

Jin-Woo clenched his fist. After a long and exhausting battle, he successfully finished his enemy. The ant king was clearly even stronger than the Demon King Baran.
