Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter Part 2 Episode 2
2. Choi Seong-min
As soon as Min Do-jun opened his eyes, what he saw was an unfamiliar ceiling.
‘Is this… a hospital?’
It was a simple and somewhat dirty hospital room, like something you would see in a rural area, rather than a neat and clean university hospital.
‘Is this a hospital? What kind of sanitary conditions are there…?’
Still, he was equipped with everything he needed, and was even receiving intravenous fluids on an oxygen mask.
But Min Do-jun wasn’t flustered.
Because it was already known that one could only possess a body that was in a coma.
“Ugh.”
At that time, a flood of information came rushing into Min Do-jun’s head.
It was a process in which the memories of the previous life that the body had were transferred to the new owner.
Since I was already familiar with this, I calmly closed my eyes and accepted the information.
‘This body’s name is Seongmin. My last name is Choi, but I am a commoner, so I must only be called by my first name.’
A class system, like the caste system in India, was introduced into the world.
‘A world divided into classes: military, merchant, commoner, and slave… … .’
Not only that, but unlike the original Earth, the countries were not divided into hundreds of states.
Westland, Eastland, Neutral Countries.
It was divided into three continents, and the place where Min Do-jun was was part of Eastland.
‘The territory of Eastland is as large as the ancient Goguryeo. All kinds of Asian people live there, including Koreans, Chinese, and Japanese.’
Westland refers to the continent across the sea where Westerners live.
A neutral country is literally a country that advocates neutrality.
8 Heroes were kings who ruled over each of these continents.
‘I have to assassinate the kings of each continent as a commoner.’
The more I thought about it, the more crazy the difficulty seemed.
Since the status is fixed, wouldn’t the discrimination be severe?
‘Still, since I’m a hunter, I can try to rise in status.’
Hunters were like medieval nobles in this world.
‘If you were an ordinary person, you wouldn’t even be able to dream of it, but if you become a hunter, you can rise to a high position depending on your skills.’
The awakening rate is the same as before: 1 in 1,000.
As it couldn’t be easy, Hunter was treated with respect wherever he went.
Of course, this is only if the grade is high.
‘Status window.’
-Name: Choi Seong-min (20 years old)
– Grade: F
-Combat power: 0 (not measured)
-World Ranking: 1,021,392
-Strength: 3, Stamina: 3
– Agility: 3, Horsepower: 3
– Trait: Interpretation (F), Hunter Hunter (EX)
– Skill: None
“… … .”
Min Do-jun was speechless at the shabby status screen compared to when he was at max level.
‘Isn’t this no different from a level 1 that just awakened?’
I didn’t have high expectations since he was an F-class hunter to begin with, but I still thought that his combat power of 0 was too much.
‘What is this trait?’
Min Do-jun opened the information about the characteristics that Seong-min already had.
[Characteristics – Interpretation]
– Grade: F
– Description: You can interpret and understand the meaning of characters you see for the first time.
‘It’s not a trait that helps in battle… … .’
Of course, there may come a time when an interpretation is needed, but it is not of immediate help.
‘Of all the characteristics, I’m so sad that I’m stuck with this one. I remember being happy when it was awakened. It’s really a shame.’
He boasted to his family that he had become a hunter, but in the end, his specialization was just like a waste of class F.
The image of Seongmin in heartbreak appeared in Min Do-jun’s memory.
And the cause of the coma as well.
‘It’s like a dog.
He was an F-class hunter who harassed Sungmin because he was easy to leave behind.
‘Well, with such a small physique, it’s easy to be looked down upon by fellow hunters.’
Besides, Seongmin is usually a reserved and passive person.
Since you can check the rankings even for those with 0 combat power, it must have seemed incredibly easy.
‘Don’t worry now, master. Since I have taken over this body, you won’t be beaten.’
Now that I have a new body in a new dimension, I must abandon the name Min Do-jun.
‘I am Seongmin from today.’
Seongmin got up from his seat, took out the oxygen mask and the syringe in his arm, and changed into everyday clothes.
First, I had to go home and reassure my family.
Then the door opened with a loud bang.
“Seo, Seongmin?”

The person who came in was none other than Seongmin’s mother, Heeseon.
“mother.”
“Seongmin! Our Seongmin is waking up!”
My mother, who had been touching my body here and there as if she couldn’t believe it, looked at me with a worried face.
“Hey, are you awake now? Are you feeling okay?”
By the way, the official language of Eastland is Korean, so there was no problem in conversation.
“Yes. I’m fine now.”
“Oh my, thank goodness! I’m so thankful!”
A smile appeared on Seongmin’s face as he saw his mother holding her hands together and shedding tears of joy.
‘Is it because the memories of the original owner remain? My heart aches even though she’s not my real mother.’
Is it because the image of my mother, who was treated like a commoner while working hard at a restaurant to raise her children, comes to mind?
Even though he wasn’t her real son, he felt that since he was already a family member, he should fulfill his role as a son that he had never been able to fulfill.
“What about the restaurant work? Are you missing?”
“Huh? Ugh. I just stepped out to see you. I’ll have to come back later.”
“Don’t push yourself too hard, it’ll hurt your body.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
My mother’s expression changed to a bewildered expression.
That was understandable, since Seongmin didn’t even have a proper conversation with his family.
I couldn’t help but be surprised when he spoke warmly about his mother, something he had never done before.
“What about Ayeon?”
“I went to the factory.”
Seongmin had a younger sister named Ayeon, who was four years younger than him.
‘In a normal world, I would be old enough to go to high school, but… … .’
Because he was a commoner, he could not go to school.
And there was no need to go there.
No matter how hard a commoner studied and struggled, there were limits to what he could do.
‘The only thing the common people can do is physical labor.’
Like washing dishes at a restaurant like his mother, working as a handyman at a construction site, or working at a factory like Ah-yeon.
That was the extent of what the common people did.
Any work other than simple labor is illegal.
‘I also did manual labor before becoming a hunter.’
I had to do it even though I didn’t want to.
Because all commoners over the age of 16 were legally required to work.
‘They’re saying that they pay half of what other people pay, but they exploit them like crazy.’
That was the reason why Seongmin gave up on Nogada as soon as he awakened as a hunter.
If you awaken as a Hunter, you can at least work comfortably at the Hunter Management Center.
‘Even so, I still had to do odd jobs.’
Rather, he was ignored by his fellow hunters and had a harder time.
And then, after much harassment from fellow hunters who told him to leave, this happened.
“Mother. Did you hear why I fell into a coma?”
“I heard.”
“is it so?”
“He said he fell off the ladder while trying to get something out.”
“… … .”
It seems like Namgi lied to avoid responsibility.
“Do you know how shocked I was when I heard the news and came running? I was so heartbroken, thinking I would never see my son again… .”
My mother said that and said she was glad she didn’t die.
‘Strictly speaking, the real Sungmin was as good as dead.’
God says that a coma is a phenomenon in which the soul becomes exhausted from external shock and falls away.
Just as a tenant who cannot afford the rent runs away, if there is no will of the soul, no one will come back… … .
‘In a word, it means an empty house.’
That is why there was no possibility of Sungmin’s soul, who had lived a difficult life, returning.
‘But since I’ve taken over the body, I can’t come back.’
Judging from the fact that he was in a coma for three months, it seems like he had no intention of coming back in the first place.
‘I have to live as Seongmin now.’
The mother, who had no idea that the Seongmin in front of her was a different person, hugged her out of the blue and said she was thankful that she was alive.
“Can I get tested without it?”
“yes.”
“Are you sure it doesn’t hurt anywhere?”
“Yes. Nothing. It’s okay to be discharged like this.”
Even though I wasn’t hurt anywhere, I thought it would be better to leave as soon as possible rather than spend money on additional tests.
Considering our poor circumstances, the hospital bills were not cheap.
So Seongmin went straight to the hospital for discharge and returned home with his mother.
Torn wallpaper, mold that won’t come off, etc.
This semi-basement with its musty smell was Seongmin’s house.
“How is it being home after three months?”
“Ah… … I like it and it feels good.”
“Mom, I’m going back to work, so get some rest. If you’re hungry, take some food out of the fridge and eat it.”
“Yes. Have a nice trip.”
Seongmin felt uneasy at the sight of his mother going back to work.
‘A family of three can’t even get out of a semi-basement apartment, even though they work hard.’
This was because they were commoners and received relatively low wages.
‘Would it have been better if I had a father?’
Seongmin’s family consisted only of his mother and younger sister.
My father, who had a wandering spirit, ran away from home at an early age.
‘No. I can’t help it, I’m a commoner.’
Unless we do something about that damned bastard’s status, it’s going to be hard for the family to escape the semi-basement.
‘I need to grow up and try to rise in status. To do that, the blocked dungeons need to be activated first.’
In the current world, monsters are nowhere to be found even with an open eye.
Because the god judged that the world would be destroyed because of the 8 heroes, he stopped supplying monsters.
‘Without monsters, the supply of runes and items has stopped, and the growth of hunters has also stopped.’
As a result, even if you awaken as a hunter, you cannot receive noble treatment like before.
‘Even if you get an S-class trait, you can’t dream of a dramatic change with an F-class.’
That was the reason why, even though it had been half a year since Sungmin had awakened, his fighting power was still at 0.
‘But this life is over now. After two weeks, when the dungeon becomes active, I will be able to grow in earnest.’
God decided to reconnect the monster dimension to help Seongmin grow.
You will also be able to receive all the traits and weapons you chose before the Ice Age.
‘Before that… … .’
Seongmin glanced at the wall clock.
It was past 5 o’clock in the afternoon.
‘In 30 minutes, it’s time for Ayeon to get off work?’
Since I didn’t have anything to do at home, I decided to go pick her up.
How would you feel if your brother, who was in a coma, suddenly appeared in a normal state?
‘You’d be incredibly surprised, right?’
There was no problem finding the location of the company my younger brother worked for because I knew it from Seongmin’s memory.
The real problem was something else.
“Oh, why are you like this?”
“Would you like to have a drink with me?”
“I have to go home quickly.”
Ayeon, who was leaving work, saw an argument with someone in front of the company.
“I said I’d only have one drink, so why are you being so picky?”
“I’m a minor, so I can’t drink alcohol.”
“That was the law in the old days. Now, you can drink it as long as you’re over 16, right?”
“That is possible for those of the merchant class and above, and for commoners, it is possible for those of the lowest class and above 19 years of age.”
“Oh, this little bitch is so dirty. She’s going to die.”
“… … .”
“Hey, what am I eating? What did I do after getting you drunk? Huh? It’s not like we should just drink together as lonely people. F**k!”
“Then would you like to drink with me?”
The man frowned at the sudden voice of a third party.
“What kind of kid is interrupting while I’m talking… … .”
The man stopped talking and looked at me with surprised eyes.
“You, you… … ?”
“How have you been? Namgi X-saekka?”
Seongmin smiled happily.
Because the guy who put me in a coma was right in front of me.
