Busy Days.
The prosecutors were fully engaged in handling the Reconstruction Gate scandal.
The Banshees were dedicating their full efforts to eliminating Awakened criminals.
And Baekgeumpa was relentlessly sweeping out ordinary gangsters.
Meanwhile, Jo Jin-hwi continued to spotlight incidents surrounding the Reconstruction Gate scandal to keep the public interest alive.
If Su-ho had it his way, he would have immediately begun reforming the Hunter Association, cutting through its corruption like a blade.
But everything had its proper process.
‘For now, I should just focus on what I can do.’
Thus, Su-ho’s choice was none other than Gate Raiding.
[ Gate Has Been Cleared. ]
[ MVP of the Raid: ‘An Su-ho’ ]
[ Additional EXP Granted for MVP Selection. ]
[ Bonus Stat +1 Acquired. ]
[ Level Up Achieved. ]
[ All Stats +1 ]
[ Additional Bonus Stat +1 Acquired. ]
"Hah..."
After slaying the boss monster, Su-ho collected its mana stone and opened his status window.
[ An Su-ho ]
Thus, he had focused purely on leveling up.
The result?
A seven-level jump.
And with the two bonus stats he had just received, Su-ho invested them into Magic.
Then, he pondered.
‘What’s the current national Grand Ranking?’
A country’s player rankings were an important indicator.
The types of players a nation had significantly influenced its national power.
Because of this, ranking organizations existed in nearly every country.
Among them, the most reputable was Player Board, an internationally recognized ranking institution.
Player Board provided various ranking charts, but the most famous were:
South Korea already had a fair number of 1-Star Players.
What mattered was the Grand Chart.
That was the real ranking recognized by the world.
As soon as he exited the Gate, Su-ho pulled up the Player Board app and checked the Grand Chart.
[ This Week’s Grand Chart ]

9th Place – An Su-ho / Healer / Sword Saint
.
.
"Healer, but Sword Saint?"
Su-ho chuckled at the irony.
Every player’s name on the chart was listed alongside their class and title.
The true Rankers hadn’t even surfaced yet.
‘Except for one.’
Among the Top 10, one name caught Su-ho’s attention.
Ki Joon-seo.
Ranked 6th, he was different from the others.
Unlike the rest, his level wasn’t in the 190s.
Su-ho knew exactly who he was.
Right now, Ki Joon-seo was just a normal mage.
But after his 2nd Awakening, he would become "The Bone Emperor"—Golje.
‘Not a Necromancer, yet he controls an army of skeleton warriors and bone weapons.’
Moreover, despite his fearsome power, his personality wasn’t twisted.
He was useful in many ways.
‘I’ll have to meet him at some point.’
One person alone couldn’t save the world.
Though Su-ho had learned not to trust people too easily, some individuals were worth investing in.
Ki Joon-seo was one of them.
After finishing his chart research, Su-ho checked his next destination.
It wasn’t anything special.
His next stop was another Gate.
Su-ho had compiled a full list of all 1-Star Gates in South Korea.
Making the list had been simple.
Currently, 1-Star Gates fell into three categories:
