Cheng Shut'an is a demon hunter with decent skills but terrible luck.
Every time he gets ready to hunt a demon beast, someone else either steals his kill or has already killed it.
And it's always the same person.
With fewer demon beasts to hunt, his rewards are smaller, so he's very poor.
He quietly came to regard that person as his archenemy.
Yuan Sheng is a demon hunter with decent skills and good luck.
He always manages to hunt impressive demon beasts and earn generous rewards, so he's rich.
At some point, whenever he went to collect his reward, he started feeling a chill behind him.
One time, after collecting his reward, he turned around and saw someone staring at him with a brooding gaze.
In later years, two demon hunters became objects of admiration throughout the demon-hunting world.
The stories most often told were of their heroic exploits as they slew demon beasts, and of how, in the middle of hunting them, they'd end up fighting each other instead.
