**Kim Minee** (Korean: 김민의, RR: *Kim Min-ui*) is a B-rank Hunter who works at Haeyeon. He is a college student, though he shuns his studies in favor of his Hunter work, and more recently, volunteering at Do Hamin's Happy Hamsters store. He has signed a contract allowing Han Yoohyun and other S-ranks to disguise themselves as him, using his name and appearance in situations where they're unable to appear as themselves.

## Personality

Kim Minee is a laid-back young man, preferring to ignore his studies and engage in more fun activities such as partying to the point where the staff of popular clubs know him by name. He is friendly, with a number of acquaintances wherever he goes, including staff at a bar he frequents and the security staff at Haeyeon. Minee is upbeat and innocent with a generally optimistic outlook. By his own admission, he is a poor liar. He is quite expressive and experiences most emotions, both positive and negative, rather strongly. He can be both impulsive and indecisive at times, and is easily swayed by flattery from the people he likes.

Kim Minee doesn't like hunting and killing monsters and tries to avoid combat, preferring a relatively peaceful life.

## Synopsis

Kim Minee Awakened at an unknown point in time and was hired at Haeyeon Guild. His middling stats and desire for a comfortable, peaceful life led him to initially want a Hunter-related desk job. However, the praise he received for his participation in dungeon raids convinced him to take up raiding as his main profession.

Alongside his Hunter work, Kim Minee is also attending college. Due to his focus on his Hunter work, as well as his preference for partying and relaxing, his grades are quite terrible, and he's on the verge of being kicked out. Han Yoojin speculates that since colleges are lenient to those with jobs (which Minee's Hunter profession counts as), for them to be so harsh on him, Minee might not be attending classes at all.

Kim Minee is first mentioned as having recommended a bar to Kim Sunghan, who he lets the bar staff know to expect.

He later reappears when Han Yoohyun needs a disguise to accompany Yoojin as his bodyguard. Brought to meet his guild leader by Seok Simyeong, Kim Minee protests at having to hide while Yoohyun takes over his identity, having planned on vacationing in Europe. He eventually gives in to their persuasion, taking sleeping medicine and residing in a hidden room in the Haeyeon Guild building while Yoohyun acts under his name. Handing over his phone and car keys to Yoohyun, he is forbidden from leaving the room or communicating with those he knows for the duration of the disguising period. He is allowed to wake up at night and given access to TV, games, and books.

When Yoojin comes to meet him after a few days of confinement, he explains how the disguised Yoohyun has displayed strength characteristic of an S-rank, and how Kim Minee must either preserve his identity, flee the suspicions of the Hunter community, or pretend to actually be an S-rank and allow Yoohyun to borrow his identity in the future as well. Though initially conflicted, a romantic mishap in his regular life leads him to choose to give up his former life, with a coin flip determining that he'll pretend to be an S-rank. After admitting to Yoojin that he looks forward to not having to study as an "S-rank", he returns to sleep while Noah Luire assumes his identity to get him re-evaluated as an S-rank.

After the re-evaluation, Minee is informed of his new position at the kiseungsu rearing facility. Seok Simyeong helps him prepare for an interview he gives about his raised rank that evening. The next day, he goes with Han Yoohyun to the Hunter Association in order to report on the fight against Choi Sukwon, which Yoohyun participated in using his name.

Since then, Kim Minee has been spending time at the kiseungsu rearing facility as part of the security detail, and appears to have befriended others at the location, such as Noah Luire and Do Hamin. In particular, he seems to be especially familiar with Do Hamin, whose new hamster store he spends enough time at to know the individual hamsters by name. However, he has noted to Noah that he's bored at his new position, and voiced support for a cafe being set up in the rearing facility, saying he'd like to work part-time at one.

## Abilities

### Stats

Kim Minee has C-rank stats on the higher end, close to B-rank.

Since signing the disguising contract, he is claimed to have stats that average to S-rank, with a particularly high Mana stat and his other stats just below A-rank.

### Skills

Kim Minee's precise skillset is unknown, but his specialty is known to be support, which means his skills are likely buffs/debuffs or other such support skills. His skills range from A- to C-rank; the A-rank skill is an extremely strong defense buff.

Since signing the disguising contract, he is claimed to have a skill that allows him to convert his (allegedly) high Mana stat into other stats for brief periods, temporarily giving him S-rank stats. The skill is also claimed to have a long cooldown.
