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. ]

"...?!" Alerted by the voice, Jace shuddered. "I stand corrected... There was someone else here..." Gulping at that moment, the young man slowly turned around. "...?" However, right at that second, his eyes were greeted by the sight of a brown-haired woman before him. "Huh...? M-Malory?"

"Um... Hi," she awkwardly waved her hand in reply, her eyes looking up and down at the young man in front of her. "Did you fall down...?"

"Ahem... Uh, well..." Jace scratched his head, at a loss for words. "It's a bit complicated... I uh..."

"It's okay if you don't want to tell me," she stated. "More importantly... Do you know where Landon and Derek are?"

"...hmm?" At her words, Jace's brow raised in confusion. "You're not with them?"

"Huh? No..." Malory shook her head helplessly. "I thought you were with them?"

"Well... That's a problem," he frowned, brushing off the leaves from his pants and coat. "I'm not sure where they are at either..."
