1.
Kim Tae-hoon had experienced the death of many people in his profession. He had killed a lot, and at the same time was threatened with death by many.
There were a couple of things he learned in such a terrible life: how to die easily, and how to not die easily. Of course, he never thought that he would use what he had learned in his daily life.
”Whew…”
He saw the green monster for the first time in his life in the car goods corner on the first floor of the local supermarket; it suddenly attacked him. He killed the monster that attacked him, using the methods he had learned in his profession.
'That's crazy!'
And that was how the story of the first hunter began.

Kim Tae-hoon: this year, as of 2016, the 28-year-old man would be 29 years old in just one day, and he visited a large supermarket next to Bucheon City Hall on December 31, to buy washer fluid.
'Washer fluid…'
The reason to drop by was really nothing, like most people at a large supermarket. No one came to the mart to buy great things. Naturally, he was looking around in the auto section.
But at some point, the horrible shrieks ”Kieee! Kieee!”, the screaming ”Argh argh argh!”, and the crash sounds ”Bump! Bump!” started to burst out in succession.
And when he responded to the sound, he turned his head.
'Dwarf?', he thought.
It was a green-skinned monster with a height of 140 centimeters. The skinny limbs and the protruding belly reminded him of a third world child suffering from malnutrition in hunger. But it did not bring out any sympathy.
The monster had teeth that looked fiercer than a dog, and the red eyes seemed to have rotten blood. ”Kieee!” It ran toward him, shrieking loudly.
He did not show any sympathy for such a monster. He kicked the body of the monster that had charged toward him as he turned around. The green monster fell on the floor screaming, and he opened the lid of the washer fluid he held and inserted the nozzle into the monster's mouth. The washer fluid entered the monster's stomach and lungs, and he stepped on its chest to prevent it from struggling.
”Whew!” 'That's crazy.'
And that was the beginning! By the time the light disappeared from the eyes of the monster under his feet, he looked around.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Like dominoes, there was a deafening roar as the racks fell.
”Argh!” He heard the scream of a woman.
”Kieee! Kieee!” He also heard the shriek, probably from another green monster.
The scene was clearly visible to his eyes. 'Oh, my God.' It was a scene where dozens of child-sized monsters suddenly appeared, hunting the visitors to the large supermarket.
”Argh, save me!”
”Monster! Monster!”
”Oh no, help me, please help me—”
In the face of this absurd sight, he was embarrassed. He had seen humans hunting humans, but he had never seen monsters hunting humans.
”Shit!” What awakened his spirit was the sound of a young man wielding a bat at the three green monsters which had surrounded him, wearing a Yankees baseball cap and a baseball jumper in the sporting goods section.
”Get out! Get out of here, you bastards!” His voice was rough, but on the contrary, it was a struggle that Kim was familiar with.
'It's not the time to be like this.'
”Whew!” Kim drew a short breath and immediately looked around.
'First of all… let's survive.'
Something came into his eyes, and he started to move immediately without hesitation.
At 4:11 pm on December 31, 2016, the last day of 2016 started like that.

”God damn it!” Swish!
”God damn it!” Swish!
”Get out! Get out of here, you monsters!” Swish!
Bang Hyun-wook had a height of 183 centimeters and a weight of 90 kilograms. He was a strong man, and he gave the loudest scream he could whenever he swung a baseball bat.
”Ahhhh!” Swish!
His action was never wise. Making a sound while swinging a baseball bat with his mouth open was one of his bad habits, and he was well aware of the fact. Due to the habit, he was punished by his coach, a former professional baseball player, and then recorded 77 home runs in the Korean Baseball League. As a result, his bad habits were no longer punished by his coach.
”You fucking bastards, get out of here!” Swish!
