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. ]

"Sigh... This girl..." As the tired black-haired man witnessed the sight of the collapsing Jane on the body of the wolf, he facepalmed. "I told you not to overuse your powers like that..."

"Well... There's that," Jace blinked, speechless at the scene before him. "At least this is finally over with."

"..." Without any further words from Ray, he silently approached the dead beast. "Hmm..." Bending down in the next moment, he grabbed onto a broken red shard scattered across the ground. "So this is what was on the wolf, huh?"

"It looks to be an artefact," Jace folded his arms in thought. "That should be where the origins of the Fultra debuff came from."

"External interventions..." The man muttered to himself, pondering on the matter. However, not even a minute later, he shook his head, soon keeping a few of the shards in his pocket. "Hmm... Well, in any case... It looks like the overflow crisis is settled. There's a lot of cleanup to do."
