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. ]

"Hah... Hah..." After the whole ordeal of running, the two hunters finally found themselves hidden from the monster's sight, now able to have a breather. "We're... Finally... Out of that goddamn horde..."

"Tell me about it," Jace sighed. "Who knew we'd manage to get here in time..."

After the snakes and sand bugs were dealt with, Jace and Penelope hurriedly ran as fast as they could towards the giant rock, just barely getting out of the mess they were in.

"Hah... This is your fault you know," Penelope sighed, taking out a mana potion and drinking it. "We wouldn't have been in this mess if you didn't attract so many monsters."

"They just came to me... What am I supposed to do?" he sighed helplessly.

"Hmph," she humphed, slightly peeking out of the rock. "Talk about unlucky that I met you first over the others. You always seem to cause so many problems when you're around."
