100 strong players whose names are engraved on the world map.
If you look at it more broadly, there are probably more people who have reached S-class.
However, the upper limit of the strongest people recognized by everyone was exactly 100 people.
The reason is simple.
In the past, when the X-class gate appeared and the investigation was in full swing.
Because the world's strongest hunter, Lehman Hoffman, announced the results.
'For your honor! For training to grow stronger! You must never enter here! X-class gate! That place is.
The announcement of the strongest, injured and exhausted.
The world was in a state of great depression.
We are just now calming down the gate situation and moving towards a golden age.
Then, a declaration was made that the attack was impossible.
It was something that was bound to happen.
A country was on the verge of extinction due to an S-class Gate Breaker.
X-class? How about something higher?
Society collapsed and disorder prevailed.
It was Lehman Hoffman who put it to sleep again.
..... hell!'
'The X-class Gate Breaker is still far away. So we humans must stop harming ourselves and move forward! We must bui Id a fence of strength and prepare slowly but surely!'
This is information that the strongest person has personally investigated and announced.
We're still a long way from an X-class explosion.
So let's all prepare for that day together.
In the peace thus regained.
Under his leadership, the 100 strong were born.
There is only one standard.
Can you withstand the attacks from a normal monster in a X-class gate?
That's about the level of standard.
However, at that time, S-class people experienced death in trying to surpass this standard.
It's an X-class gate full of monsters that are out of the norm.
There was a reason Hoffman set the standard.
At least try to avoid a hit and survive.
The level that reached that point was 100 strong.
The whole world admired them, but they were not complacent.
Because I experienced why it had to be that way.
Moreover, it is a common quest that comes when you reach S-class level.

The reward was not even visible.
If you want to survive, constant training is the only way.
Each of the 100 strong were preparing for the final battle while taking their own path.
***
Gobi Desert, Mongolia.
This place, once a famous tourist destination, has long been deserted.
Instead, a giant X-class gate took its place.
It is so large that it can be seen from far away.
Even the world-famous Burj Khalifa is a towering building.
The small mountain-level gate simply spiraled upward.
That too for a moment.
The gate stops rotating for a moment.
Soon a person popped out from there.
"Keuk! Gulp, gulp! Keuhuk!"
It looks like a wet rat.
The man roughly took off the hood he was wearing and vomited out everything inside.
Most of it is water.
It was as if I had swallowed water just before suffocation and then emerged onto land.
Sweep up the loose white hair.
Then the beauty was revealed.
He has a high nose and mysterious blue eyes.
Her pure white skin shines brightly against the desert sand.
She took a deep breath, still in the fallen position.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, I almost lost."
It's a bad first word to such a beautiful face.
He snapped his fingers and the air opened up, revealing a staff.
"Whoa, that damn old man Lemmy Hoffman. What kind of secret is he keeping from you?"
This is the destination we reached after chasing after the man who was the strongest hunter.
What was gained existed.
Now, I must hurry and let you know.
There was no time for this.
-It's me. I'm back at the gate.
-Your Majesty! You have returned safely! I will send someone with the teleportation skill immediately!
It's a reply that comes as if it was waiting.
..
The White Tower located in Russia.
The tower's owner, Pinroy Shasha, returned to the tower with the wizard who arrived shortly thereafter.
"The Lord of the Tower has returned!"
"Notify the Hunter Bureau immediately! Don't let any information leak outside!"
"Your Majesty! Are you okay?"
The warm welcome that greets you as soon as you arrive.
Sasha glared at the wizard hunter who had moved here.
"you...."
"Eek! Sorry, I'm sorry."
She usually enjoys silence.
I finally passed him as he moved into his office.
"Go out. I need to get some rest."
"Yes, yes! Rest well, Your Majesty!"
Sasha, now alone, lay sprawled out on the sofa.
"Whoa, shit."
Hoffmann's recently discovered secret records.
It held another secret of the X-class gate.
'Why should I read that?'
Anyway, the problem is anxiety.
The moment I read it, I could never ignore it.
'The X-class Gate Breaker is far away. But there is an item that can open the gap.'
What kind of crazy person would even try to open the Gate of Destruction?
Monsters are small gaps that can come and go.
If even one of them had escaped there, it would have been a disaster.
'So I just did some research and got some information.'
It's an X-class gate in the Gobi Desert where information is hidden.
3 days to fully utilize all the hidden items and your own abilities.
Sasha was able to achieve her goal.
'The X-class gate is organically connected to other S-class gates. And the S-class gate contains three materials that open the gap.'
We need to secure those materials first.
The Hoffman records that Sasha found have already been read by someone.
No one knows if it's a villain or a hunter.
The anxiety that arose from there was what moved her.
'If the villain saw the information and reached where I reached.'
It's a disaster.
If you don't hurry, a gap may open in the X-class gate.
..
Sasha took a break and returned the call.
Her attendant, who had finished preparing in the meantime, came in.
"Your Majesty, I have completed all preparations to go to the Hunter Management Bureau headquarters."
"What about the 100th lecture?"
"There are six respondents in total."
Fuck. The world is in a state of crisis and look at the response rate.
Even if you contact them, they are not the kind of people who would answer.
Even Shasha's position is at the end of the 100.
It was 100th place.
I understand that location is also where people move.
Of course, I understood.
"Is that even a good thing?... Let's move."
"Yes, I will serve you."
Magic skills are those that use the power of nature, which is closely related to attribute power, as skills.
Her attendants could fly through the sky with wind magic, and up to two people could share its power.
Speed comparable to that of a fighter jet.
I was able to quickly arrive at the headquarters in the United States.
"Your Majesty Shasha. I have been waiting for you."
When she arrives, the headquarters manager greets her.
The two quickly went down to the basement of the headquarters.
Even if you just consider the depth as the number of floors, it is 80 floors underground.
It was an underground bunker that would be safe even if a nuclear explosion were to fall directly above it.
"Everyone is here as a hologram. Come on in."
"Thank you, Chief Thompson."
The six members of the top 100 appear as holograms.
Among them, there are two Koreans.
Ma Seok-ho and Yoo Seong-jun.
Sasha looked at Ma Seok-ho.
"What a surprise. You're showing your face, which you didn't even show your nose at the 100-strong conference."
"I had a great harvest. It was thanks to the Meister's items. I should try challenging the ultimate tower after I get a new one"
I know it because I've heard it so well.
Master.
The pinnacle of production skills that appeared at the auction house one day.
The items he enchanted are said to give wings to the abilities of the 100th level.
"Then, Mr. Yoo Seong-jun, you too?"
I heard he is presumed to be Korean and likes to be patriotic.
So she didn't have a good view of him.
How dare you divide the country and favoritism when you need at least one talented person for the X-class gate.
"Me too, similar."
Sasha's brow furrowed as she saw him shrugging his shoulders.
Master.
As expected, you're unlucky.
Just take care of people of the same ethnicity.
Ah, where did I get the rare item?
'I want one too. A Meister item.'
Then the ranking of the top 100 will rise by several dozen levels right away?
But that won't happen.
Even though he is respected by everyone, he is considered inferior among the top 100.
Even though they were of equal status, there was a hierarchy.
Daily neglect and ridicule towards those in the lower ranks.
When was the last time you felt recognized and praised by an equal?
When I become aware of that fact, I become depressed without realizing it.
Still, what needs to be done must be done.
"Everyone, please pay attention."
"I wish I could finish this quickly. I have to go practice."
This is Ma Seok-ho speaking as if to let everyone hear.
He explained why he had called them together while ignoring them.
A gap may open in the X-class gate.
Even the fact that we have to secure the three ingredients before the villains.
"The villain, you saw it, is there any guarantee?"
A man whose whole body is wrapped in black bandages.
A member of the 100-strong group who introduced himself as Darkness.
The ranking is 47th.
Sasha shook her head at his choppy questions.
"I haven't seen it, but that doesn't mean I can rule it out."
"I'm going to get out."
"Why?"
"Uncertainty. When you are sure, call."
Is it because it only gathers monsters with sky-high self-esteem?
There is no unity.
