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. ]

"Phew...!" As the blonde-haired man confirmed the broken stone pieces of the golem before him, he sighed with relief. "That took longer than expected..."

"It's way more tankier now..." Jace frowned, not looking forward to the stage three boss monster. "Maybe more damage would've been better if we keep running into golems..."

Given that the golem monsters were innately slow, it meant that he and Landon had an easier time dodging their attacks. However, Jace chose to focus on defence anyway as he wasn't sure whether he would even meet a golem in the final stage.

With the thought of a "Guardian" appearing, Jace could only prepare for the worst.

"Hey, I mean, we still have this selection of buffs before we go into the final stage!" Landon nodded his head in reply.

"Right," he sighed, ridding away his thoughts. "Let's check out the buffs."
