[14th Everdusk 2103], CGA Branch, Dyna Crest country, DC-23 City.

I walked out of the taxi after paying the fare, standing before the large metal door of the CGA building, the hub for hunters in our city.

This was likely due to its extensive network capabilities, offering everything a hunter needs, such as Dungeons, a Market, and even travel to other cities through Portals used to traverse city borders.

"Well, I don't have much to sell right now, so going to the market on the left is pointless. But after conquering a dungeon and getting some loot, I can probably make some money," I mused to myself, glancing at the market where hunters traded items.

I then proceeded toward the main building of the association.

The gate, which sensed mana fluctuations to open for hunters, was an automatic one developed by a genius trap master after a certain incident.

Without paying much attention to other tales, I entered the building, heading toward the dungeon check-in area amidst hunters moving from one place to another.

What I saw shocked me: huge lines at every reception desk for dungeon inquiries. Some faces were even recognizable, including a few students from my class.

Not wanting to interact with them, I sighed and chose one of the shorter lines, determined by my assessment of the speed of work at the desks.

If resolving a dungeon issue took three to five minutes per hunter, I reasoned my turn would come quickly.

Standing in the third desk line proved to be a good decision, as I was already close to the desk while others who joined the line with me were still in the middle.

After half an hour had passed, my turn had arrived as only one member was ahead of me. Even after six minutes, the person was arguing with the desk in charge, but he eventually left, realizing he couldn't start a fight and risk getting banned.

"Yes sir, what can I do for you?" The attendant asked me with a salesperson-like smile, which I knew was fake.

"Ah yes, I am here to raid a dungeon and am looking for the right one for me," I said, as he nodded and began typing something on his desktop.

"Okay then, please show me your ID, and tell me your Class, Level, and the number of hunters you will be raiding with." He asked as I handed him my hunter ID and began telling him my details.

"I am a necromancer, Level 14, and I will be raiding the dungeon alone." He didn't say anything at first, just looked at the ID and was about to search for a dungeon when his eyes fell on the bottom right corner where the necessary item should have been assigned.

His hands stopped mid-typing on the keyboard, as he looked at me and then again at my ID, repeating the action which confused me a little.

"Sir, are you making a joke right now? I am not in the mood for one," he said, and for the first time, I saw him angry after watching him this whole time while standing in line.

"Oh, did I say something wrong? I mean to say that what I wa..." Before I could explain further, he stopped me from speaking.

"No kid, listen to what I'm telling you. You can't raid alone in the dungeon right now as you don't have the necessary eligibility," he told me with a straight face. I didn't understand a single thing, and he realized it after seeing my expression.

"Hahhh~~~ Why do I have to handle these types of newbies? Listen kid, what I'm talking about is that you may think that raiding alone will help you level up faster and grow stronger, but this is real life, not a TV show where the protagonist becomes strong by hunting alone. You need a team to hunt and get strong, only then can we allow you in. Even if you wanted to do this, you would have to wait about eight days because the Branch manager is not going to handle your small issue over the large tasks she is handling now. Then, you will be able to take the eligibility test to hunt." He said, and after hearing it, my mind went blank as I didn't even know about such a thing.

In my past life, I used to hunt alone without needing to pass this type of test for lone hunting. But then I realized that was in another country, while where I am living right now is different, though the Association is the same. Maybe the method was removed before I transmigrated here. Yes, that might be the correct answer. But as I was in deep thought, I felt a little pain in my hand and found that the guy was holding my hand and pulling me away from the line.

"Kid, I don't have time to waste with you, so leave or come with a team to hunt," he said and went back to work. I just looked at him and started walking away, thinking to maybe join a group to enter a dungeon, but I didn't want to show them my talents and abilities. Humans are the only beings who get greedy in a matter of seconds or even milliseconds.

While I was walking away, the guy who told me to leave was doing his work when his superior came behind him and said some words. At first, the guy's eyes shot open, but then he nodded and went out from his desk, and his colleague took over. What his senior told him might help that kid he just told to leave.

Luckily, he found me still trying to join a group.

"Hey kid, want to listen for a few moments here?" he asked me as I, the unlucky one, looked at him and nodded while saying goodbye to the hunter who refused to let me join his team because of my low level.

"Yes sir, what can I do for you?" I asked him as he first looked around and found many hunters and people walking around. He held my hand and pulled me toward a room where his senior was already waiting for him.

They both locked the door behind them and sat in front of me with serious expressions.

"Sir, why did you bring me here? I am just following your order and trying to find a team to hunt with." I asked him with a little fear as both were Tier 1 and much stronger than me. I was sure that I didn't provoke them in any manner.

"Oh, don't kid, we are not going to hurt you. I just heard about your condition while you were talking and thought of a way to help you," the senior officer of the association told me as I just nodded and asked him.

"Sir, may I ask how you can help me? And is it free or do I have to pay or repay you with something?" I asked him as I knew that nothing is free in this world, not even death.

"Oh, not that way kid, and I know that you're rich enough to even give us money, so listen to my advice and don't ask anything until I tell you so," he told me while looking at my old clothes and shoes, which obviously showed my financial status.

I nodded toward him, and he started telling me the way to help me solo hunt in dungeons.

"So, listen kid, the thing is...."
