Being one of the few hunters at the top, the S-ranked Marksman Hunter "Ace" had it all. A strong sense of combat, wealth, fame, and a bright future ahead of him. Yet, despite it all, he felt nothing at all to his feats. He was just content with his life, not wanting anything else.

Having risen to unimaginable heights through battling many gates over the years, his glory was renowned throughout the world and was said to be one of the few hunters that would pave the path to a brighter future for their generation.

Yet, that was all thrown out of the window.

Almost a decade after The Great Awakening which shook the entirety of Terra, the Hunter "Ace" stood before many people as he announced something that no one could've ever imagined.

"Today, I will be announcing my retirement."

Yes. That day marked the end of one Hunter's journey.

Though, it was not out of his own free will.

[ Hunter "Jace"—class change will now begin. ]

It was all because of a fateful notification he had received.

[ You are now classified as a Synergist. ]

Levelling by the Sidelines

[ Breaking News! An anomaly has appeared in a B-ranked Gate! ]

Within a small office, a silver-haired man could be seen seated silently behind his desk as he busily scrolled through news story after news story on his tablet.

[ In today's hunter news, a highly coveted dungeon co-owned by the Hunter's Association and Merchant's Time guild has been found to have had an anomaly occurrence, causing four casualties to a party of ten. ]

[ The survivors of the party had testified that if not for a certain "Hunter Associate" who had entered the gate soon after, they wouldn't have made it out alive. ]

[ This "Hunter Associate" in question, however, could not be found on site even after the survivors had all been brought to safety. ]

[ Later reports from the Hunter's Association have said that this associate, who goes by the name "Jay", was not at all mobilized by the association. Instead, he was on duty elsewhere. ]
