[The tragic ending of the romance of the century, the retirement of S-class hunter Kang Ga-young? (Comprehensive)]
Last year, the marriage between Ga-young Kang, an S-class female hunter, and a D-class porter, was a big issue worldwide.
A lot of people’s attention was focused on this great romance that drew the public’s attention. It was even reported as a scoop abroad.
However, it happened earlier this year that Hunter Kang Ga-young demanded a divorce because of her husband’s serious disobedience and terrible criminal behavior.
Everyone around the world criticized her husband, who was a porter, and it became a problem for the various media as well as the community to uncover the man’s identity and disclose it.
A few months later, last week, it was revealed that Kang Ga-young’s ex-husband had died while working in a dungeon to pay alimony.
After that, Kang Ga-young, an S-class hunter in shock, abruptly announced his retirement. As a result, considerable national losses are taking place.
Above all, I am concerned about her move as the number of dungeons that seriously threaten humanity is rapidly increasing.
Even unknown anomalies are weakening the abilities of healer hunters. As a result, she is in desperate need of help.
Currently, the Hunter Association is trying to persuade her, the protector and hope of Korea. He emphasized the words ‘Please rest assured that it will be as safe as Korea’ several times.

Episode 1. A Porter’s End (Crystal)
Episode 1. a porter’s end
A semi-basement of an old building. In a gloomy and unorganized space, a man fell asleep with his eyes closed.
“cold.”
The wind felt on my skin was ephemeral and cold. A man holding a thin quilt in one hand, leaning against the wall, slowly raised his eyelids.
He felt a familiar touch on his other finger, which was attached to the wall. Cockroaches crawled towards the ceiling with a terrible crunching sound.
“What time is it?!”
In an instant, my heart pounded violently. Actually, the bugs weren’t that important.
I hated it at first, because now I’m just used to it. Wouldn’t it be nice if only your face didn’t crawl?
I spit out a small swear word, and as I got up, I saw the appearance of the room. The old wallpaper with holes in it caught my eye.
Even in underdeveloped areas, especially cheap houses were narrow and poorly structured. This was the house I currently live in.
There is only one washing machine, let alone air conditioner or refrigerator. A structure that does not even come out of laughter.
“You have to go to the bathroom.”
I went out and headed to the bathroom to keep my morning routine. Although it was shared, there was no need to queue because it was early in the morning.
“eww. cold. how. Are there toilets outside today?”
As soon as he opened his mouth, white breath burst out. Even if it’s a building, I think it’s a bit harsh. Even the toilet water wasn’t frozen.
This is really just a place to sleep. When I think of it that way, I feel at ease.
When we signed the contract before, didn’t the landlord say that it was a place to sleep only? Washing is also tricky.
If the porter’s work is over today, I’ll have to go to a nearby bathroom. If you just don’t eat shit.
All kinds of threatening phrases were written in front of the door that might be called the front door.
The short note ‘Die’ is aegyo. It is tickling a piece of paper with long lines of how socially evil and terrible I am.
“How else did you know?”
Where is my personal information kept being sold? I just sighed. I had to rush into the house before anyone saw me.
“You have to clean it up quickly. There are no wipes like this.”
There were not even wet wipes that you could usually get while walking on the street. Reluctantly, I wet a towel with water and headed for the front door.
“madam. Why is it not erased like this?”
To the point where I get swearing. I really hate it. How diligent are these kids?
Isn’t it like a complete terrorist scene with gum scabs and canary fish sauce? First, I picked up the eggshells one by one.
“I have to clean it up quickly.”
Let’s calm down. Seo-Jun Lee. In the past, even the feces were painted. right. This is good enough.
Hurry up and get rid of it before others see it. If the landlord even sees it.
As soon as I thought about it, I got goosebumps. There is no place for me to be accepted here anymore.
“It’s a room I just got, so you shouldn’t be a nuisance.”
How many times have you been rejected for looking at your own face every time you go to ask for rent? Move your hands quickly.
“Mr. I will turn really.”
toothpaste and water paste. ethanol, etc. After struggling for a while, I was able to sort it out safely.
⁕⁕⁕
“ha. Just thank you for putting it in this time. It was already too late.”
A grumpy-looking middle-aged man looked at the young man with all sorts of contempt. The ghastly cold eyes were ephemeral and cold and bitter.
Judging from the bag and clothes he is carrying, it is presumed that he is also a porter. Perhaps among the porters, he has a fairly full-fledged role.
“of course. Thank you very much. I’ll do my best!”
He kept his humble attitude as much as possible and kept his head down. The shameful feeling that accompanies embarrassment has not yet become accustomed to it.
The middle-aged man’s eyes were filled with only displeasure and contempt. It means that you know something about your existence.
Of course it’s not going to be good. If you look at the news or the Internet right now, your information is stuffed.
“Ts. I don’t know if you have any concerns. I’m glad there aren’t enough people. oh really… .”
The man who frowned and frowned quickly returned to his position. Only then could Lee Seo-joon breathe a sigh of relief.
Porter, I started a few years ago to pay for hospital bills when my mother was hospitalized. This porter’s job, which could be called a chore, was arduous but profitable.
It was hard work, but the risk allowance was an amount that could never be ignored. Naturally, I quit after marriage, but now that my throat is grapefruit, I have no choice but to start over.
“Whoa.”
I was married to a fairly famous ‘S-class female hunter’ who is called ‘the guardian of Korea’. It was so famous all over the world that no one knew about it.
Perhaps it is not enough to be called the No. 1 bridesmaid in Korea.
It’s the past now.
‘Marriage of an S-class female hunter and a D-class porter’
Even in my opinion, it is a dramatic and romantic comedy-like setting. Of course, it is true that she received a lot of help from her before marriage.
Most of all, I was able to get away from this boring porter job by paying my mother’s hospital bills. That’s all.
With the help of my ex-wife, I was able to cure my mother’s illness by receiving treatment from a hard-to-find B-grade healer.
A miracle happened to me.
Currently, my mother is not by my side due to an accident, but if she is alive and sees me now, how sad she would be.
When I think of my ex-wife, I am always thankful and there is also the feeling of love. It’s still the same.
I dreamed of a happy life with the envy of everyone. But what she’s done to me up until now is at a level that I can’t understand.
So she asked for a divorce, and she knew she would object, and she gladly accepted it. Was it a mistake to expect it to go smoothly?
She demanded a fairly large amount of alimony, and I had no choice but to redo my previous job as a porter.
“Oh.”
I haven’t been able to eat enough these days, but I’ve been feeling nauseous. Is it because I am anxious? I had a throbbing headache as usual.
If you throw away the painful tea, you might be kicked out. Shut up and endure this. This porter is also a very difficult place to find. Even though I was given the look of contempt, I wasn’t rejected.
“Everyone, get ready!!”
At the sound of someone’s cry, the surroundings become cluttered. Before entering the dungeon, I finally held my smartphone in my hand.
The opposite sex was clamoring not to look, but his trembling fingers searched for Tododok. It automatically completes how many searches you have searched.
On the news page that was clicked naturally, his story was still being consumed. You only get hurt by looking at things you shouldn’t see.
I ignored the article with my thumb and scrolled down to see the comments. How bad is the title? Not surprisingly, most of them are malicious comments.

Npoi4****: Injeong, Injeong unnie, let’s only walk on the flower path
bmnlo****: Really. why don’t you follow
b98qw****: My identity has been stolen. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
ㄴblkj****: My older sister is also a taste buddy, but I got married because an A-class male hunter asked me to marry her.
Quickly press back. Nonsensical rumors of serious sympathy or crime followed like tags. If this was real, I would have gone to jail sooner.
As we hurriedly moved to the place where the porters were gathered, people who were presumed to be experienced workers gathered. It was a dungeon for a mid-level guild, so it was enough.
I pressed on the hat more deeply and exchanged greetings. At that moment, one of the crowd pointed a finger at me.
“uh?! That kid, the kid on TV, isn’t it?”
“That’s right. that. Why did he get divorced after marrying an S-class hunter?!”
The admiration and appreciation for the S-class hunter who was called the ‘protector of Korea’ was great in this society. Because the awe of the Hunter itself was high in the first place.
Because it ended badly with her. The look in his eyes could not be said to be pretty even with empty words. When the work started, I followed them and started working as a porter.
The porters were responsible for transporting potions, meals, equipment, monster corpses, etc. in large bags behind their backs. For reference, my bag was full of emergency kits, antidote, and medical supplies, including a defibrillator.
It was new to see the hunters in front of me muttering while looking into the air. Even if it’s nothing, the transparent window doesn’t take a picture.
I am a D-class, so I have no ability to say that because I am a strong ordinary person.
“now. Let’s go now.”
⁕⁕⁕
Fortunately, the hunters fighting at the forefront also went smoothly. I just hope that this peace will continue.
“Give me a potion here!!”
“yes. Here it is.”
I hurriedly approached the injured hunter and handed the potion. He groaned as he poured it into his arm as if he was familiar with it.
“OMG!!”
The hunter, holding on to his teeth tightly, handed the empty bottle back as soon as his arm recovered. As I turned my head, I saw two healers watching from afar.
In the first place, the number of healer hunters was very small. If there were two C-class healers, the guild must have put a lot of effort into it.
Healer, a person with the ability to heal people, in the realm of God.
If you use a lot of potions, resistance will develop and the effect itself will disappear. So the alchemists always had to develop new drug potions.
Of course, the level of development was meaningless. It’s actually for bleeding. Because the limit is clear, everyone becomes ‘our healer’.
Minor wounds and hospital bills are of course enough to endure. Because only the healer created a miracle for the desperately needed treatment.
However, unlike normal hunters, healers with healing abilities can only heal once a day, at most, two or three times a day.
Healing Hunter’s treatment has a strong limit on the number of times, but the effect is so powerful that it can’t be compared with a potion, so it was necessary even in an emergency.
That’s why, unless it’s a special job called healer, A-S-level hunters were rare. The reason is that it defeats them with great power before they get hurt.
“Everyone is nervous!!”
Experienced hunters skillfully defeat the monster and move forward. We followed from the rear with our luggage. After entering the boss’s room, we watched from a distance.
A considerably larger size than a normal goblin stares at the hunters. Ordinary goblins, including the mage goblin, maintained a formation protecting the boss.
“Is this the first time you’ve seen a guy with a cane?”
“Don’t panic and do it while protecting the healers.”
“Yeah, it’s a goblin.”
“Give me some potions here too!!”
When the injured hunter called, the man in front went out slightly and handed over the potion. Judging by his face, he’s not the grumpy old man I used to be territorial with.
“nice!”
After receiving the potion, the hunter threw it on his shoulder and immediately dealt with the goblins. The moment you get tired of repeating a pattern like this.
“Heel, heel, please!”
The tanker, who was covered in blood, blocked his body with his shield and shouted urgently. The moment the healer healed, the blood in the abdomen stopped like magic and it was restored.
“crazy. Uncle, be careful!!”
“what?!!”
Unlike the peaceful healers who were safely protected, a commotion broke out in the pack of porters. This is because the fire magic from the mage goblin’s staff suddenly flew towards us.
Most of them avoided it, but the grumpy-looking man in front of me was injured. Everyone was shy, so I had no choice but to support him and ask.
“Hey, I’m sorry, but can you heal me?”
“No. There are limits to what we can heal.”
After shooting coldly, the healers began to watch the hunters. The voice of a middle-aged man with a sign of pain is heard.
“… You, he, I’m sorry that I spoke badly a while ago.”
He is speaking while barely exhaling a trembling breath. As if he had resigned, the man grabbed his leg and laughed hard.
“It’s better to take care of hunters rather than porters.”
I hurriedly gave first aid using potions and bandages. This is because I had tried various treatments a few times before when I was a porter.
“really. Pretty good. Thank you.”
“What. no”
Looking ahead, luckily, most of the goblins had been defeated. Now it’s just a matter of time.
“Uncle, hold on a little longer. Go straight to the hospital as soon as you leave.”
“Wait, can you feel this vibration?”
At the moment everyone panicked, a dark light spread across the smiling mage goblin’s wand. As the dungeon shook, a huge number of monsters began to appear everywhere.
“Too many. Damn it, everyone retreats.”
When the party’s leader gave the order resolutely, everyone began to turn back as if they had been waiting. When I saw a huge number of goblins that were completely different from before, my head was dizzy.
“Kiruruuk!”
“Keek!!”
crazy.
“Escape quickly. hurry!!”
The Hunters started to run away protecting the healers. We also hurriedly followed.
The man supporting me told me to just go, but I held on tighter because I thought I would regret it if I left it alone.
“Too many.”
The more he felt the group of goblins approaching, the more anxious he became. Although it is small, it is quite agile and chases after it at high speed.
The party leader in the front blinks at the female hunter and exchanges eyes. A mean-looking hunter slowed down and approached, causing serious injuries to the porters’ ankles.
“Hey, shit. What is this?!”
“I hope this helps!!”
“이 개새끼가!!”
I also made eye contact with her, but my ankle was intact. In fact, you wouldn’t even need to do it. This is because when the man supporting him fell, he fell at the same time.
“Hey, you’re young and fine. You go first!!”
Uncle said so, but I already had no strength in my legs. The Hunters have long since fled while we can’t move.
“Kiruk, Kee Eek!!”
The goblins approached with a bizarre cry. One of them is a goblin approaching me.
How did you really look like that? A cold sweat broke out on his back.
A small demon with a green body, but with the stature of a small child and agile wielding a dagger.
As if a hunter had found his prey, he came running to me with joy. At the same time, a small goblin dagger approached my head.
Looking around, I could see the porters already being slaughtered by goblins.
“Help me, I don’t want to die like this!!”
“Damn it, you bastards! Ouch.”
“Do not come. Do not come. Do not come. Do not come.”
“Please, don’t go!!”
You feel the blood draining out of your body.
sick.
I slowly closed my eyes. Loss of sensation all over the body. The voice of a familiar woman was muffled.
The last thing you see before closing your eyes.
It was a sea of green blood that the goblins screamed and poured out.
