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. ]

"Cough..." As the smoke and dust cleared in the area, a young man could be seen coughing, his back leaning against the worn-out pillar. "That was close..."

"W-What was that...?!" Landon cried out, his eyes soon peeking out of the pillar, taking notice that nearly everything before the golem boss monster had been destroyed. There was nothing left in its path. "A nuke???"

"Its last stand maybe," Jace reasoned, his eyes locking on the stone construct looking for the two hunters in the distance. "I don't know how much damage you did to its core, but it's on high alert now."

"Initiating protocol: Destruction," the golem monotonously uttered. "Commencing search for targets..."

"I only shot at it a few times..." Landon furrowed his brows. "If it's on high alert now, how do we even get close to it?"
