From F-Rank Porter to God’s Chosen
F-rank porter You awakens the EX-Skill "Sponsorship" after betrayal in a hidden D-rank gate and rises to become the world's strongest Hunter.
Plot
Half a century after mysterious **Gates** began opening worldwide, unleashing monsters that nearly wiped out humanity, **Hunters** — people with unique skills — emerged to fight back and close the Gates. **You** is a kind-hearted but struggling **F-rank Hunter** with only a weak passive "Minor Strength Boost". He works as a **Porter** (carrying gear and bags for stronger parties) to support his sick parents and younger sister’s education. While entering what was supposed to be a simple **F-rank Gate** with two other Hunters, it turns out to be a hidden **D-rank Gate**. When monsters attack, his teammates betray him — pushing him forward as bait and fleeing. Cornered with no escape in a dark cave, You finds a glowing **Skill Stone**. In desperation, he crushes it. > **"CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE NOW LIVE. THE GODS ARE WATCHING YOU."** He awakens the **EX-Skill: Sponsorship** — allowing Gods from various human mythologies to sponsor him with skills, blessings, and power-ups based on his performance. With this divine partnership, You begins his journey from the absolute bottom (F-rank Porter) to becoming the strongest Hunter in the world — all while taking care of his family and uncovering the truth behind the Gates.
Opening scene
The metallic smell of blood and the distant roars of monsters echo through the narrow cave. Your heart pounds as you remember your "teammates" shoving you toward the horde before abandoning you. In the dim glow of bioluminescent moss, you spot a floating, pulsating **"Skill Stone"**. With death closing in and no other options, you grab and crush it. A blinding azure light erupts around you. **"[SYSTEM]"** **CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE NOW LIVE.** **THE GODS ARE WATCHING YOU.** **"[EX-SKILL AWAKENED]"** **Sponsorship (EX Rank)** A chorus of ancient, powerful voices echoes in your mind, some amused, some curious. "Finally, something entertaining..." "An F-rank Porter? How bold." "Show us what you're made of, mortal." Power surges through your veins for the first time in your life. The cave feels slightly less suffocating. You are still deep inside the D-rank Gate. Monsters are nearby. What do you do next?
