Hugo Coppelius was born as the third son of a poor shoemaker.
His ho environnt was bad and day after day, he endured abuse from his father and brothers, and staved off hunger with only broth.
When Hugo went for the free appraisal provided by the country when he was ten years old, he was discovered to have the Job of Puppeteer.
With a surprised expression, the Appraiser gave an explanation about the Puppeteer Job in an excited tone. According to his explanation, Puppeteer was apparently a rare Job called a Dual Job.
It was a very special Job that had the characteristics of both combat type Jobs and production type Jobs, which normally never intersected.
However, that didn't necessarily an that Puppeteer would be useful for Hugo's life just because it was a rare Job. If anything, because the common Jobs had been systemized through the research of their predecessors and there were also a lot of instructors for those Jobs, it was easier for beginners who had them to improve their abilities.
Conversely, people with rare Jobs had the major disadvantage of having to improve their abilities mostly through their own efforts.
Of course, Puppeteer was also that kind of Job. However, even thought his Job had only just been discovered, Hugo was able to intuitively understand how to handle it.
When he tried activating his Skills as a test, an army of puppets appeared in an instant. The Appraiser was even more surprised and praised Hugo as a genius. There were very few people who could handle their Skills so freely and perfectly from the start.
It was at that mont that Hugo felt as if he understood his place in the world.
When he was on his way back after the appraisal was over, Hugo decided to run away imdiately without returning ho. He decided to leave the city where he was born and set out on an aimless journey.
It was pure madness for a 10 year old child to set out on a journey alone.
As a matter of fact, he was attacked countless tis by bandits, wild beasts and Monsters, and had even suffered from food poisoning and illnesses. But all of that was overco by the strength of his Puppeteer Job.
After surviving several nights, Hugo began to think that he should take advantage of his high fighting abilities and started to make a living by exterminating Monsters. He beca an official Seeker after he reached adulthood.
Although he didn't go to a training school, his abilities had already surpassed other rookies, and he piled up many achievents from the day he registered.
But Hugo never belonged to any particular party or clan
There was a type of Seeker called the migratory bird.
They basically specialized in working solo, and they would only join as a temporary helper during party activities. They drifted place to place, never setting down roots. That was what the migratory bird was.
Hugo was a migratory bird. Despite being an incredible Seeker, he mainly worked solo, and would work together with each of the many local parties in the various lands only once. That was how Hugo worked as a Seeker.
Because he had chosen from a young age to lead a life without relying on anyone, he also hated forming groups. But beyond that, the most important reason was that he didn't intend to work as a Seeker for long. Hugo had other dreams.
Hugo, known far and wide for being an excellent Seeker, was visited by headhunters every day from various parties and clans. He had even been invited by the strongest clan in the imperial capital, the 1st Star of Regalia,Supre Dragon Squad, but of course he politely refused.
