Title: Monster Hunter: From Broke to Boss
Genre: Action | Fantasy | Adventure | Urban Comedy | System | Monster Hunter
Synopsis:
Broke. Beaten. Betrayed by life.
Leo Kim was just another overworked delivery guy trying to survive the city grind. No money. No prospects. No luck. Until his scooter sent him flying—literally.
But instead of a hospital bed or pearly gates, Leo wakes up in a bloodstained forest, inside the body of a dying nobody in a world where monsters roam, demons rule, and hunters are gods among men.
Then it hits him—a glowing screen hovers before his eyes:
[System Activated: Welcome, User.]
Armed with a sarcastic, semi-broken AI system that rewards creativity over carnage, Leo sets out to rank up in a brutal society where the weak are cannon fodder and the strong get rich or die legendary. But unlike everyone else, his path to power involves cheat quests, crazy loopholes, and playing the system like a stock market.
Now, from killing sewer goblins to outsmarting dungeon lords, Leo’s rising fast—making enemies, stacking cash, and somehow becoming the most unpredictable hunter the guild has ever seen.
From rent debt to world threat—Leo’s coming for the top rank.
And this time, life better stay out of his damn way.

Chapter: Chapter 49: SurviveRurik swore loudly as the walls around him groaned, folding and snapping like a living thing. The floor beneath his feet creaked ominously before plunging into a pit riddled with spikes coated in a black, viscous slime. “That kid did this! He’s got to be the one!” Rurik spat, lashing out at the shadows that seemed to slither along the walls.Every direction he looked, the maze shifted. Corridors twisted and merged, floors buckled, and a cold, putrid stench filled the air. From the shadows, gory E-3 beasts emerged—horrid creatures with jagged teeth dripping ichor, twisted limbs ending in serrated hooks, and eyes that glowed faint crimson. Their skin was raw and glistening, as though stretched too tightly over their bones.Rurik swung his axe violently, severing a clawed limb from one of the monsters. The creature screeched, a wet, bone-chilling sound, before collapsing into a puddle of black ooze and shadow crystals. He barely had time to breathe before another lunged, slamming into hi

Chapter: Chapter 48: Blood Maze“Well, at least someone appreciates my hard work.”Leo wiped the sweat from his brow, blade dangling loosely at his side, and kept walking. The floor beneath him squelched with every step—like stepping through raw meat—and the air reeked of copper and rot. After a few turns, the hall widened, and he found himself standing before a spiraling staircase that disappeared into the shadows above. Each step glowed faintly with golden light, pulsing in rhythm with his heartbeat.He tilted his head, scowling. “That’s… not ominous at all.”The air shimmered and flickered like a mirage. Then the system’s cool, mechanical tone cut through the silence.[ACCESS GRANTED: FLOOR FIVE – THE BLOOD MAZE.]Leo groaned, dragging a hand down his face. “Wait—five? As in already five?” He spun around, looking for the usual glowing portal exit. “No exit, huh?”[Leaving mid-trial results in permanent death.]He froze. “…Ah. That’s encouraging.”A faint, familiar voice echoed through the thick walls. “Leo? You al

Chapter: Chapter 47: Hour of TrialsTessa’s boots squelched against the damp floor as she and her team stumbled into the second floor of the tower. The air smelled like burnt iron and mildew, and faint hisses echoed from deep within the shadows. They had barely escaped a group of unholy creatures that looked like someone had tried to combine a bat, a snake, and a decomposing horse.Rurik wiped a streak of monster goo from his beard and bent to pick up a glimmering green gemstone from the cracked tiles.“Well, at least the monsters have decent taste,” he said, tossing it into his back pocket.Dean exhaled sharply. “You looting again already?” He was calm, as usual, but his tone held a quiet warning. “We’re supposed to be catching up to that guy.”Tessa leaned against a pillar, her eyes narrowing. “You mean the kid?”Dean nodded once. “He cleared the first floor faster than anyone I’ve ever seen. If he keeps up that pace, he’ll reach the top before we even—”Rurik snorted, cutting him off. “Oh, please. Maybe he just got lu

Chapter: Chapter 46: Earl of Unfortunate Hospitality.Minutes turned into hours. The chandeliers dripped wax like slow tears. The air smelled of dust, roses, and faint decay. Somewhere in the corner, a ghostly pianist was playing a distorted version of Für Elise.Tea was poured. Cakes were served. Bones rattled.Every now and then, a guest’s finger dropped into the teacup and had to be politely returned.Leo tried to smile like a proper host. “So… how’s eternity treating everyone?”A skeletal lady with half a face gave him a long, silent stare. The teacup in her hand twitched. “Delightful,” she hissed, voice like crushed glass.Leo laughed weakly. “Yeah, me too.”Mira shot him a look. “Don’t provoke the dead.”“I’m trying not to exist in their social circle,” he hissed back.Nyra was busy handing out sugar cubes that disintegrated before they reached the cups. Every time one of the nobles looked at her too long, she shrank behind Leo’s leg.For a fleeting moment, it looked like the mission might actually go smoothly.Then the candles flic

Chapter: Chapter 45: Dressed in comedyBack in the cityThe room was cloaked in luxury, the kind that carried danger in its perfume. The long glass windows reflected the city skyline, and at the head of the oval table sat a woman in crimson heels and a tailored black suit. Her manicured nails drummed rhythmically against the surface as her voice—low, smooth, and lethal—cut through the silence.“So,” she began, her words dripping like venom, “the person who dares to stress my dearest nephew… was an E-class hunter? Not even a C-class?”Kael swallowed hard, his back straight but his spine cold. “Y-yes, Aunt.”The woman—Therese Valtoria, one of the most feared guild executives in the continent—slowly rose from her chair. Her movements were deliberate, feline. “Well, well, well…” she murmured. “Should I be disappointed… or enraged?”Kael’s heart raced. He wasn’t sure which answer would spare him, so he did what he did best—he improvised. “Aunt, he isn’t a normal E-class hunter!”Therese raised a brow, amusement flickering in her

Chapter: Chapter 44: Tea party of doomThe moment they stepped into the tower, silence swallowed them whole.The air inside was heavy — thick with dust, heat, and the metallic tang of blood. The first floor stretched before them like a battlefield long abandoned. The flickering red runes on the walls cast distorted shadows across the piles of corpses — the slain maws of the tower.Their bulbous bodies lay scattered like deflated carcasses, their mouths gaping wide even in death, fangs frozen mid-snarl. Steam still rose faintly from a few of them.Tessa stopped short. “By the Ancients…” she whispered. “Did he… do all this?”Dean’s boots crunched lightly over a trail of dried ichor. His expression didn’t change, but his eyes took everything in — the placement of each corpse, the clean slices, the patterns of impact across the stones.Rurik whistled low. “Well, the kid’s got guts — and apparently, skill to back it up.” He kicked one of the corpses lightly, its gelatinous body collapsing inward with a sickening squelch. “Damn.
