Seseong Guild

**Seseong Guild** (Korean: 세성, RR: *Se-seong*; lit. "Jupiter"), led by born S-rank Hunter Sung Hyunjae, is one of South Korea's 3 largest guilds. Its headquarters are located in Seoul. It is currently one of the two guilds with the most S-ranks in the country, alongside Haeyeon Guild.

## Members

Presumably, as a major guild, Seseong limits membership to respectable mid- or high-rank Hunters. Their requirements for membership are likely similar to Haeyeon's, including having completed one's schooling (if not in the process of completing it), and some work experience.

Seseong is known to have a particularly high number of foreign Hunters, largely due to their guild leader being well-traveled and well-connected.

Seseong Guild has a uniform consisting simply of a letter jacket, as with most Korean guilds. Seseong's zip-up jackets have a golden torso and white sleeves and shoulders. There are white bands with a single gold stripe at the collar and sleeve cuffs, with an inverted gold-on-white band at the waistband, and pockets lined with white bands. A large, dark gold S outlined in white is present on the left breast. Patches decorate the lower half of the sleeves.

## History

Seseong Guild was founded within a year of the dungeons' first appearance, the first guild to be formed alongside the Hunter Association and Awakened People Management Office, and became the strongest of the Korean guilds, a position it would retain for years to come. The exact nature of its founding is unknown, but Sung Hyunjae did not collaborate with any major corporations for its formation, as with some other guilds. In this first year, Sung Hyunjae spent significant amounts of time traveling overseas and away from Seseong, only returning for A-rank dungeon raids or breaks.

A little over a year after the dungeons first appeared, the first S-rank dungeon in Korea appeared, and its management rights were auctioned off to Seseong Guild. To manage this dungeon, Sung Hyunjae began spending more time in Korea.

Approximately two years in, Evelyn Miller was recruited to Seseong Guild, debuting at Sung Hyunjae's birthday party that year.

At some point in these first three years, Sung Hyunjae also recruited Kang Soyoung, his aide Vantes, and a high-ranking healer from India, among other foreign Hunters. Seseong also gained the rights to a dungeon featuring dragon monsters.

### Original timeline, pre-regression

Sung Hyunjae and Song Taewon disappeared shortly after one another, with the former rumored to have killed the latter. This resulted in Seseong being left leaderless, and they withdrew from Korean affairs. Kang Soyoung, as the deputy guild leader, took over as acting head.

## Synopsis

After Han Yoojin's regression, Sung Hyunjae represents Seseong and signs a contract with the kiseungsu rearing facility, agreeing to provide support in exchange for being supplied with trained kiseungsu. Later, after Han Yoojin's kidnapping by some MKC Guild members, he visits Seseong with Kang Soyoung and Peace, meeting Sung Hyunjae on the rooftop garden. Around this time, a rumor circulates that the kidnapping was staged by Seseong in collaboration with Haeyeon, aiming to trap MKC.

## Trivia

* "Seseong" is one of the Korean names for the planet Jupiter, though it is more often called 목성, *mokseong*. This name may be a pun: Jupiter is named after the Roman god who controls lightning, which is one of Sung Hyunjae's most distinctive skills. It might also be a pun on 세상, *sesang*; lit. "world" combined with his surname, Seong.
* The guild has an official social media account, which is currently following and followed by Han Yoojin's account.
