I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul 46

Episode 046

“We’re all there. “It’s really close.”

When I first moved, I complained about how expensive a house is, but after spending a few days there, I realized it was worth the money.

Everything needed for daily life was available within about 5 minutes from the house.

When I used to live in a semi-basement, I had to walk uphill for a long time and cross several driveways before I could find the community center.

It’s not a big deal, but even these small details are completely different.

As we entered, the languid atmosphere of a weekday afternoon dominated the space.

I looked around for a moment at the people waiting for their turn and the people consulting at the counter, then took a number at the awakened person complaint corner.

There was no need to wait.

In the first place, there are hardly any crowds coming to the Awakened Migrant Center to stand in line.

My turn came almost immediately after I got my ticket.

– It’s been a while.

“How long has it been?”

– well? I haven’t been here since I got my ID card issued. Most of the hunter-related matters were handled by the Sky Guild office workers. A lot has changed.

I went and sat down at the window while talking quietly with Seo Ji-han, who had an emotional face.

A civil servant who was struggling with hunger greeted me with an unmotivated face.

“What did you visit for?”

“I got a text message asking me to register as a hunter here.”

I held out my cell phone and she glanced at it, but then nodded.

“Give me your resident registration card, and place each finger on the fingerprint scanner here.”

I followed the instructions obediently.

I raised my fingers one by one and waited for the scan to finish, when suddenly my co-worker sitting next to her started to glance at me.

Then, she slowly pulled her chair closer and came closer.

My employee was in charge of her It seemed like he didn’t know that his co-worker was approaching him like that.

The employee, who was preparing by taking out a few documents from a drawer, attaching stickers and stamping them, looked at the screen half-heartedly and then opened his eyes wide.

“Hunter with your hands together?”

“also!”

Before I could answer, another employee who was sneaking up on me shouted loudly.

The voice was so loud that it instantly destroyed the relaxed atmosphere of the community center. The

rush of eyes was an added bonus.

“I couldn’t believe it, but it was real! Hunter Son! I never thought we’d meet like this.” “I didn’t know!”

The employee who approached me was excited and excited, as if I was stamping my feet.

I didn’t know what to say, so I just blinked in confusion.

“Oh, do you know me?”

Do I know this person?

No. It is clear that they are meeting each other for the first time.

However, the two responded as if they had heard an unexpected question.

“Of course I know! Anyone who watches TV knows this. Guam Airport Dungeon explosion created 0 hunter deaths! ”

Ah,

I understand that’s what it means.

“Director Lim Min-kyung really likes Hunter Son Moa.”

“It’s not just that I like it, it’s that I’m a fan!”

After saying that, Director Lim Min-kyung took out a pen and paper from somewhere and held them out.

“Please sign my name.”

Faced with a very flushed face and bright eyes, it was difficult to say no. I was so

embarrassed that I barely opened my mouth.

“That signature is only used when signing a card.”

You can’t write such trivial scribblings on stiff autograph paper.

It was a roundabout refusal, but Lim Min-gyeong, the official in charge, was stubborn.

“That’s fine too!”

In the end, I felt like the argument would be prolonged, so I gave up and picked up a pen.

But when I actually tried to sign, I was quite embarrassed.

I’m not some kind of celebrity, and I never imagined I would do something like this in my life.

Hmm, can I do it like this?

“Here. I’ve done it all.” .”

It’s the most elaborate autograph I’ve ever made in my life.

When I returned the paper, the officer in charge, Lim Gyeong-min, blew on it with his mouth and guarded it so it wouldn’t spread.

And he looked like he wanted to say something more, but the employee in charge cut me off at that point.

“Okay, I’ll leave my personal business here. “Now, I will start processing Hunter Son’s complaint. Director Lim Min-kyung, please go to the second floor and prepare the materials I mentioned earlier.”

The person in charge, Lim Min-kyung, who seemed to be staring at me the whole time, must have been very burdensome, so the employee in charge kicked her out. She glanced sideways at me

a few times with regretful eyes and then left.

When she relaxed, the employee in charge, who had been observing me with an amused expression, glanced at me. I asked a question,

“Do you recognize anyone on the street?”

“Nothing at all.”

“Well, not many faces appeared. I didn’t recognize him until the background check…”

“Yes…”

It was an encounter I never expected on my way to the community center.

Unlike me, who was still dazed, the employee quickly got back into work mode.

“There is a fine.”

“yes?”

“You didn’t register right away after awakening, right? I have an awakening registration arrears. First of all, based on the testimony at the scene and the circumstances, it is said that he was awakened two months ago. Otherwise, we can correct it by filing a complaint with evidence.”

When I was told that I had to bring evidence, I immediately bowed down.

What kind of evidence is it?

The best thing to do is to pay your taxes quietly and voluntarily rather than making things up and making a mess.

“Oh yes, I woke up around that time.”

“If I had registered right away, there would have been no fine, but it was a waste.”

“I thought it would be difficult to spend time with my family if I worked as a hunter, so I tried to report it after going on a family trip.”

The employee calmly nodded at my excuse, which was half true and half false.

“That could be true. Still, I’m glad you responded to voluntary reporting. The fine will be reduced by 50%, so you can pay 100 million won.”

For a moment, I thought I heard wrong.

“100 million?”

The employee who was watching my reaction nodded,

“Looking at your reaction, it seems that you have recently awakened. People who have awakened and become active already have a different sense of money.”

“I live in a penthouse and my inventory contains trillions of assets, but in such a sudden situation, the money sense that I have been accustomed to for the past several decades comes out. As I smiled sheepishly, the employee also smiled lightly and held out a document

” Would you like to sign the fine payment agreement and pay by bank transfer? Or…”

“I will pay you in cash.”

I immediately took out a wad of money from the inventory and stacked it at the counter, and the employee took it in a familiar manner and put it into the safe.

I then signed the documents handed to me.

“The fine you paid will be used to help victims of awakened crimes, and there is an account here where you can make monthly donations, so please take a look and make a donation if you are interested.”

“yes.”

“And there are no restrictions on sharing the proceeds from dungeon raids with people around you, but if you receive assets and spend a large amount of money, you will have to pay inheritance tax when you prove the source of the funds.”

“yes.”

“And did you join the guild?”

“Yes, I joined the guild. Baekgwang Guild.”

The employee who was typing stopped and looked at me.

“Baekgwang Guild?”

“Yes, even if

there’s something wrong…” “It’s my first time hearing about this guild. Did you start it yourself? No, you wouldn’t be able to get permission to establish a guild without a hunter’s license.”

“No, I joined the original guild. “I heard it’s been around for a year.”

“Hmm? Really? Just a moment.”

The employee, who was pressing various buttons as if checking something, belatedly nodded:

“Oh, really. It’s a real guild. Why didn’t I hear the name?”

“It’s a guild that can’t actually be active because they don’t have permission to raid dungeons.”

“iced coffee.”

After hearing that much, she nodded with an expression of understanding.

Looking at the reaction, it seems that the three major guilds taking control of the dungeon is not new.

Seo Ji-han quietly clicked his tongue.

– Looking at the expression, you can see the atmosphere of the dungeon management office. That’s right. It’s really unlikely that the Baekgwang Guild will get permission to attack.

It doesn’t matter. I don’t want to go to the dungeon anyway, and even if I want to go, I just sneak in.

Although it’s illegal, monopolizing the dungeon isn’t right either.

“Son Moa . “If you were a hunter, you could have gone to a better guild, so why did you join this new guild?”

The employee spoke with a sad expression, but she moved her fingers quickly as if she wasn’t particularly curious about the answer.

After taking pictures and filling out various documents according to her instructions, the entire process was finally completed.

“It’s all done, so sit there and wait for a while. See. Since there aren’t that many cases, I tend to get approval right away, so if I don’t get approval, I’ll print it out right away and issue you a hunter’s card. It takes about 30 minutes.”

Even though the world has changed with dungeons bursting, magic appearing, and all kinds of amazing things happening, the daily lives of ordinary people are always the same. I

expected something special when I registered as a hunter, but in reality, it felt similar to issuing a resident registration card.

Anyway, I did as instructed . As I sat down in the waiting area, I saw a huge wall-mounted TV hanging on one side.

It was installed for civil servants to watch while waiting.

People waiting for civil affairs work were blankly watching the news playing on the TV. I

sat down and glanced at the TV, and suddenly it looked quite good. Someone who was sitting far away slowly approached and sat down next to me. I

turned around reflexively to see an elderly woman with a curious expression.

When she made eye contact with me, she spoke with a very happy face.

“Is the weather nice today?”

“Ah yes.”

These days, strangers talk to me a lot.

No, I’m not following you today.

Usually, when I go out, strangers talk to me a lot.
