Overview

Based in Seoul, the Hunters Guild ranks first in both membership and might among the top five organizations in South Korea. Its standing is reinforced by a feature no rival can match: the presence of two S-Rank hunters within a single guild. That depth of elite talent puts it at the front of the country's hunter community.

Sheer scale also affects how the guild fields its forces. Rather than the single combat unit most guilds maintain, it runs a pair of strike squads. Together they let the guild commit serious firepower to multiple fronts at once.

Role

The first strike team operates under the joint command of Choi Jong-In and Cha Hae-In, with the remainder of its lineup drawn entirely from A-Rank hunters. The second team answers to Son Kihoon and mixes A-Rank and B-Rank personnel. Beyond raid duty, the guild keeps a dedicated Mining Team for resource extraction.

One of the guild's standing obligations is protection of the Korean Hunters Auction. Under a security arrangement, its top members are required to step in whenever trouble erupts at the venue. In the novel's revised continuity the guild was never rebuilt, because Woo Jinchul recruited Choi into the Korean Hunters Association during the early Cataclysm.
