White Tiger Guild

Within Korea's hunter world, this guild sits in the elite tier alongside four other leading powers, all of whom dominate the field. Its base of activity covers Seoul and the surrounding metropolitan region. What sets it apart from rivals is how it brings along untested members: rather than classroom drills, rookies are slotted into actual gate clears at the lower difficulty bands, where the guild's experienced fighters carry the load and let beginners learn under live conditions.

Administratively, the operation splits into separate departments, and each one owns a clearly bounded set of duties. Joo Sungchan heads the First Management Department, which keeps watch over the registered hunters as well as the broader roster of personnel. The Second Management Department falls to Ahn Sangmin, whose remit centers on bringing in fresh hunters and shepherding them through preparation. Spotting promising candidates worth recruiting was a core part of his role.

Keeping civilians safe and maintaining stability drive how the guild manages gate activity. It lays claim to a marked zone within the city wherever portals surface, then purchases booking rights so it can return later to clear and sweep the site. Many of these booked portals are set aside specifically for trainee placements and rookie practice, and during those runs the inexperienced members stay shielded by a B-rank or higher escort.

Bookings come with a price tag. For a gate carrying a C-rank designation, the opening figure floated for reservation lands at seventy million won, while the standard ceiling on any bid reaches one hundred million won. By combining civic defense with a pipeline that grows its junior talent, the guild turns ordinary cleanup duty into a teaching ground.

At the top stands Baek Yoonho, the S-Rank Fighter who serves as guild master, supported by his A-Rank deputy and vice-master Baek Miho. Raid leadership once fell to Kim Chul, an A-Rank Tanker now deceased. Filling out the hunter ranks are Park Heejin, a B-Rank Mage; Yoon Kijoong, a C-Rank Tanker; and the C-Rank martial artist Go Myung-Hwan. Among the non-combat staff, Joo Sungchan oversees the first division, with Ahn Sangmin and his deputy Hyun Kichul directing the second.
