Evolution Theory of the Hunter

In a society where financial standing dictates influence, Hunters leverage their fortunes as instruments of power. Elite skillbooks, which instantly augment capabilities, are prohibitively expensive, establishing a clear chasm between the wealthy Hunter elite and the less fortunate. This raises the question: could genuine strength lie not in monetary value, but in achieving the unattainable? The narrative centers on a porter, a servant to the elite Hunters, whose existence is a repetitive routine of manual labor and aspirations for a better life. His reality shifts dramatically upon discovering a unique skillbook – a Level 0 skill. This peculiar discovery is universally derided and dismissed as worthless, a mockery in a society driven by immediate power boosts and immense expense. However, when the protagonist chooses to cultivate this overlooked ability, a different path to power emerges.
