Chapter Title: J's Guild Management Style
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Kim Gap-su reported today's events to his superiors.
"So, you're saying there were no irregularities, and two Double SSS-rank Hunters joined a brand-new guild of their own free will, with contract terms at 2:8?"
"...Yes, that's correct."
"You think that makes any sense?"
"But the situation isn't great for poking at them recklessly. There are plenty of eyes watching, and the Americans are already circling like vultures... One wrong move, and we could lose two SSS-rank Hunters right under our noses."
"So you're just going to sit back and watch two Double SSS-rank Hunters tied down to some no-name startup guild?"
The world had changed, and so had the Hunter Association, but the higher-ups were still stuck in their stuffy, rigid ways.
The Hunter Association was a national institution, sure, but it was also a business that had to turn a profit.
Performance metrics mattered in all sorts of ways, and that's why they ranked and managed guilds to keep those metrics up.
That led to plenty of crazies who saw hunters as little more than dungeon janitors—and the man in front of him was one of the old guard who thought that way, along with most of the other aging executives.
They figured SSS-rank or not, bind them with hunter laws and they'd stay put.
They wouldn't think that if they ever crossed paths with one inside a dungeon.
Kim Gap-su's job included making sure that never happened.
He still had his doubts about Kang Jik that hadn't been resolved, but he hadn't just let it slide because he was an idiot.
"There's the Hwaseong incident too, and the Americans are showing interest in the newly emerged Im Hyeji and Lee Soo-ah Hunters. Better to observe than to prod and piss them off."
"Team Leader Kim, you're handling this way too by-the-book. They're just kids anyway—what can they do? Emigrate? You think that's easy? Their families are all in Korea. We just need to dangle the right carrots and sticks to reel them in."
"..."
He genuinely wished Kang Jik would drag these guys into a dungeon and beat them until they were shitting themselves in terror.
Not just once, but over and over.
Remembering how SS-rank Hunters had leaked early on—and even an SSS-rank—made him think they deserved to be fired on the spot, or better yet, have their heads lopped off. Instead, these clowns had gotten promotions and were entrenched in high positions. So things had changed, but not really.
And then they'd tsk-tsk about disloyalty to the nation.
"Do it right. Or I might have to step in myself."
"...Understood."
What could he do, bite back?
He wanted to say, "Fine, you do it then," and watch them crash and burn while snickering.
But thinking of all the time he'd poured into making the Hunter Association at least somewhat different from the old days stopped him.
How could he, after nurturing and changing it this far?
Even if it meant killing the bastard and walking away, he couldn't let that happen.
"Haa..."
In moments like this, he suddenly envied the Kang Jik he'd seen in the meeting room earlier.
That boldness to do as he pleased without a care for others' opinions.
Even as a civilian, he could pull it off—probably because SSS-rank Hunters had his back.
No matter how he looked at it, that nagging feeling wouldn't go away: if they'd pushed ahead forcefully, it would've ended in disaster.
Honestly, the Hunter Association wouldn't lose out even if they let it be.
The hunters had joined willingly, and whether it was 2:8 or 0:10, if they wanted to work for less money, who cared?
For the country to throw a fit and say no would make them the commies.
He was curious too.
"What are they planning..."
Gathering SSS-rank Hunters—what moves would Kang Jik Guild make next?
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇My MBTI is ISTJ.
"Oppa, since when are you a J? Don't talk nonsense. Society agreed that people who act on impulse are P types."
"A J who acts like a P."
There was some pushback, but who could know me better than I know myself?
Of course, I couldn't claim to be a 100% plan-ahead J human.
Normally, I lived without plans, acting on whims, being impulsive, even putting off guild registration until the last minute.
But when the moment came to actually do something, I planned meticulously and executed with full commitment.
"Soo-ah knows. Remember the pregnancy plan?"
"...I don't know anything."
Lee Soo-ah was being uncooperative, but no matter what anyone said, if I was a J, I was a J.
Besides, this wasn't a heated debate about my MBTI.
I just wanted to say that when I set out to do something, I planned it out and went at it with passion.
So, I'd made a plan.
"You signed 2:8 contracts for me, so I'll take care of guild benefits for you."
The contract was a bit messy, but no one else was gathered like us purely for give-and-take.
I could collect women like trophies for pride, roll the hunters to boost my abilities, and rake in money via auto-hunt.
The women got my semen to become stronger hunters—that's why they'd joined Kang Jik Guild, forgoing other guilds and money.
Drilling down, the women enslaved to my semen would probably work for free even if I asked.
And honestly, even if I took that 20%, considering the magic stones I'd spent on them and would spend, it wasn't leaving much profit anyway.
Anyway, it was win-win, so I needed to motivate the women to keep that win-win strong—ensuring they'd agree even to my craziest requests down the line.
A guild everyone wanted to join.
A guild where women ran to me on their own for my semen, not out of coercion.
🏢 Kang Jik Guild Welfare 🏢＊ Guild members bringing A-grade or higher magic stones get exclusive dibs on that day's virility.
＊ Free pregnancy opportunities provided.
＊ Free resurrection upon death during Kang Jik Guild affiliation.
The reason they joined Kang Jik Guild, giving up everything else, was my semen—so why not control it to spark competition?
Magic stones were like miracle cures for me and the absorber alike.
For the woman absorbing it, even without pregnancy or birth, it massively boosted skill growth—and during pregnancy, it skyrocketed the odds of a huge success, a life-changing jackpot.
The downside? Eye-watering prices.
Even an A-grade went for nearly 80 billion at auction, so buying one just to monopolize a day's recharge might not seem cost-effective.
But frame it as absorbing an A-grade stone while getting all my semen too, and it changes things.
These women had all tasted my 16x concentrated semen just yesterday.
Kang Hana especially lucked out with over-absorption, birthing a level 4 ability in one go—she'd remember that flavor vividly.
Semen amplifying magic stone effects.
Up to three stones at once? Higher over-absorption odds, a full day of massive growth.
Of course, that was just a side dish bonus.
"Whoa..."
"For real?"
"No more paying?"
The women, mildly unimpressed by the first perk, lit up at the main dish: the second condition.
The biggest reason they'd joined Kang Jik Guild, really.
And it wasn't much of a concession anyway.
Strictly speaking, I'd only gotten one from Lee Soo-ah, and considering the stones I'd used on her, I hadn't even broken even.
So, spelling out "free" clearly let me take credit where none was due.
They'd feel secure, no debt of gratitude hanging over them.
Plus, the costs were covered by the 2:8 contract split.
Use it for stones if needed; the rest for my personal pleasures.
At this point, he figured it was enough—they were thrilled.
Why add more?
But when you make a plan, you commit fully.
I'm a good guild master.
Not settling for "this should do"—time to sweeten it further and squeeze harder work out of them.
He'd add more if ideas came, but for now, he'd write down what he had in mind.
This was one of the two big ones anyway.
The women double-checked the scrawled whiteboard, brows furrowed.
Kang Hana confronted him, creasing her forehead.
"Oppa, we get we're basically your property, but if Hyeji-unni leaves, this is useless, right?"
"Yeah, Jik. Shouldn't we check with Hyeji first? What if skills are on cooldown mid-dungeon..."
Im Hyeji knew.
About my Resurrection skill.
But he hadn't told the others.
Lee Soo-ah was under contract, so no need to mention it'd pass to him at full skills.
Kang Hana? He'd never even considered telling her.
No reason to hide now—he laid it out plainly.
"I have it too."
"...?"
"Resurrection. I've got it. Your skills and abilities—the ones born from pregnancy hit level 5, I can use them too. Dad perks."
"..."
"..."
"So even if Hyeji dies, I can revive her. If you die and her skill's on cooldown, I got you. How's that? Stick to bearing my kids, and you can live forever—no dying of old age."
Even to him, it sounded like killer guild welfare.
