Typically, adventurers engage in dungeon exploration, monster subjugation, or defensive operations for the sake of humanity's security and resource collection.

Ignoring such conventional tasks and focusing on purging fallen heroes for three months was due to the notoriety hindering their activities as adventurers.

In my case, I was infamous as the Hero Killer.

For Ga-ram, being labeled as a fallen hero made it difficult to find companions for adventures.

"Is that him? The adventurer who has been hunting fallen heroes and has risen to silver rank lately."

Having captured over ten fallen heroes in about three months, waiting for the guild staff to bring the bounty, I could feel the fruits of my efforts shining through as I listened to the murmurs around me.

"He's been an official adventurer for less than four months, and he's already reached silver rank."

"Considering gold rank is usually for heroes, doesn't that make him practically the most capable among us?"

"Ah, but how can someone who's not a hero catch one? I heard he's paired with a hero, probably just riding on the hero's coattails while the hero does all the work."

"Actually, that hero was severely defeated by him and became his subordinate."

"Aah, I heard that too. That time, the hero got so scared that she even had a heart attack..."

The crowd, combining rumors and eyewitness accounts about me, freely formulated their evaluation of me.

However, I could tell that the overall negative perception of me had significantly subsided.

Anyway, I was unforgettable in their memories.

Rather than painstakingly convincing them, it was better to naturally guide the improvement of my evaluation.

"But that guy, his name was Woo Hyo-sung, right?"

In the midst of paying attention to the evaluations, I caught a snippet of conversation.

As soon as I heard it, I immediately focused all my attention there.

It was natural to be concerned.

Despite my ability to remember names, those who met me always oddly misremembered mine.

"All the guys from other worlds have such unique names."

"So, what should we call that guy?"

It's Woo Hyo-sung.

Woo Hyo-sung with the characters for 'echo' and 'sound'.

"Hey, dummy. Are you really asking because you don't know?"

"If you take 'sung' out of Woo Hyo-sung, it's obviously Woo Hyo!"

Damn it, why are they making a fuss and removing that part of my name?

"Hey, Adventurer Woo Hyo-sung~ Your bounty is ready!"

Just as I was about to burst into an outburst, a guild staff member arrived.

Seeing the hefty bag of money on the counter, I felt my previous irritation dissipate.

Yes, financial therapy was the best for irritation.

Let's forget the fools for now and focus on the money.

"Haha, Adventurer Woo Hyo-sung, you've only been an adventurer for less than half a year, and you've already become a silver-ranked adventurer."
