Chapter 5 - Ep 2 [prologue]

My name is Han Ji-hoon.

I was born into a family where I never really had to worry about money or fame. If I didn't like something—one signal, and it was gone. Just like that.

Being part of one of the top families in the entertainment sector comes with its perks. I meet celebrities, I'm the center of attention wherever I go… but the best part? I can do anything to anyone—with no consequences.

Last time, I crashed a Lamborghini into someone's shop. Guess what happened? Nothing. In fact, I ended up buying the shop.

I always thought I was untouchable. Because I was rich.

And now that I've become a B-rank hunter? I thought I was even more special.

But because of that...

I fu#***d up. Bad.

Fifteen minutes ago, I beat up a student.

The biggest mistake of my life.

Now?

My whole body feels numb—I got beat down so hard I can't even move.

All my goons are lying unconscious around me.

And he's standing right there.

Foot on my chest.

Just staring.

He did all of this without even having a contract.

Yeah... he's a failure.

And yeah... I messed with a psycho.

Mom. Dad.

I'm sorry.

I f***ed up.

For the first time in my life,

I'm facing the consequences.

Sorry, hyung...

I'm the real failure

Important notes (optional )

Awakens – Special people born with a tattoo mark.

When one is born, the tattoo is small. It grows over time, and when the tattoo holder reaches the age of 16 to 18, they are chosen by a god and receive a contract, gaining special powers.

---

Hunter – When an Awaken receives combat-oriented powers, they are called a Hunter.

---

K.A.W – Since most Awakens are under the age of 18 when they receive their powers and cannot work as Hunters, K.A.W is an institution where they learn how to control their powers.

K.A.W Institute is controlled by the government.

---

Hunter License – A license issued by the government after someone passes the Hunter Exam.

---

Exceptions – There are late bloomers who do not receive their powers even after reaching age 18, despite having a tattoo.

But if they gain their powers before age 22, they are called "Exceptions."

They receive their powers late, but once they awaken, they are no less powerful than a B+ rank.

---

Failures – Those who do not receive powers after age 22 will never receive them for the rest of their life.

They are called Failures.

---

Mana Watch – A special watch used by the government to monitor the awakening status of people who haven't awakened yet.

If you have received powers – it signals Green.

If you haven't received powers, but still can in the future – it signals Yellow.

If you will never receive powers – it glows Red.
