The Hunter’s Gonna Lay Low Audio Drama

The Hunter’s Gonna Lay Low Audio Drama

Project Overview

Introduction

Hunter Cha Eui-jae, who was dispatched to seal a rift that appeared over the West Sea, was flung out as he closed the rift and came to his senses in a garbage dump.

Feeling extreme hunger, he was drawn like a zombie to a hangover soup restaurant, where he realized that he had fallen into South Korea, eight years in the future.

In this era, disaster alerts notify people in advance of rift openings, ASMR videos of slimes gathered from dungeons are trending, and idle hunters unbox deliveries with A-grade longswords in live streams.

Unlike the past, where people trembled in fear of an impending apocalypse, the future is surprisingly peaceful, leaving Cha Eui-jae feeling empty. Since things have turned out this way, why not start a second chapter of life as a part-timer at a hangover soup restaurant instead of a hunter?

“That’s strange.”

“…”

“Have we met somewhere before?”

Cha Eui-jae’s plan to quietly spend his remaining days as the only part-time worker at the decades-old hangover soup restaurant goes awry when he encounters a mysterious figure in a gas mask…

    • However, it was clear to him that this was reality. The black hole he saw earlier, his belly filled like an empty bowl, and the spoon he had unintentionally dropped with a clang, all proved it. Cha Eui-jae (Cha E-jeh)couldn’t hide his astonishment and clutched his head. All the hunters dispatched to the West Sea rift perished? As far as he knew, that was absolutely not true. No, it couldn’t be true. Because Hunter J, Cha Eui-jae (Cha E-jeh), was the sole survivor and was sitting here eating soup!

    • The young man grumbled, rummaging through his shopping bag and drawing out something long like a sword. From the soft curved tip to the straight stalk and the solid root at the bottom. In his hand… was a fresh green onion. The toad croaked and turned towards the young man. Each step of its heavy legs shook the entire alley like an earthquake. The young man carefully set down his shopping bag, skillfully twirled the green onion, and gripped it firmly.

    • (Pondering)“Wait. Has anyone seen a man wearing an apron with a soju brand logo around here? Yeah. Black. He also carries a ladle about this big. He has a delicate face and black hair… or was it grey?"

    • "And that elementary school student we just found. Did you get the name? Check her family relations. I’ve taken an interest in her uncle.”

Unfortunately, the hunters dispatched did not return."
