Prologue
Ten years ago, the Gates caused a Great Cataclysm.
The Great Cataclysm changed people's lives from the ground up.
Although the Gates threw the entire world into chaos, humanity achieved dazzling development through Gate resources as the emergence of the Awakened allowed them to be cleared.
The civilization that had nearly been reduced to ashes soon regained order, and although the threat of the Gates remained… what had been an unprecedented catastrophe was now no longer an uncontrollable disaster, but a massive and alluring gold mine for humanity.
The magic cores of Gate monsters are eco-friendly, highly efficient energy sources, while monster materials are excellent raw materials with applications in countless fields.
Naturally, with the emergence of this new industry, everyone entered a technological race using Gate monster materials, and the ones who benefited most were, of course, the Awakened.
Since ordinary modern firearms were ineffective against Gate monsters, the Awakened were indispensable to the Gate industry.
The Awakened soon came to be called Hunters and became the workers who farmed new resources from the Gates.

Anonymous (175.223) : F...ck, I'm so damn jealous... How long am I supposed to keep doing manual labor? Awaken me too, awaken—!!!!!!
Anonymous (211.246) : Isn't a C-rank Gate dangerous? It's iffy when you factor in the price of your life…
└ Life-Reversal Hunter Noob (Author) : I've been running C-rank Gates for a year with this veteran party, so there's zero danger lol. Just think of it as taking a seven- or eight-hour walk in full combat gear.
└└ Anonymous (211.246) : That's brutal. Yikes;;
Lego Landmine : But this guy's making 400,000 a day—if that's ten million a month, does he ever rest? Usually, you take at least two days off after working one, don't you?
└ Life-Reversal Hunter Noob (Author) : Yeah, on my days off, I joined pickup parties and worked full shifts lol.
└└ Lego Landmine : Crazy;;; Even Awakened people wear their bodies out, so take it easy.
Fact) If someone worked like this guy, even a non-Awakened person could make ten million a month… This guy just works a fucking ton. He's young, that's all.
Posts showing Awakened people easily earning huge sums are a common sight.
Even low-ranked Awakened earn more than most salaried workers, while high-ranked Awakened often gain fame and power beyond mere money.
For that reason, the Awakened train themselves to reach higher levels.
They hone more refined techniques and accumulate more practical experience…
They equip themselves with gear crafted by master artisans…
They use alchemists' potions to enhance themselves…
They receive buffs from other support-class Hunters…
They even keep up their superstitions to stay in top condition for the day.
However, the skills one can learn are limited, the equipment one can wear has its limits, and even the level one can reach on one's own has an endpoint.
