Chapter 11: Trauma and Reawakening
After Jennifer left the shelter, Kal and Dante went to the office. Dante had a grim look on his face, Kal who just realized the seriousness of the situation bit his lip and sat silently on the sofa. There was a short silence between the two."Uhmm-" Before Kal could muster up the words to say, Dante cut him off."Does Dontrelle know that you're an assassin and not a marksman?" Dontrelle asked Kal in a serious tone."At the moment...he doesn't know." Kal replied. Dante stood of from his chair and walked to the window as he watch busy streets of the shelter lighting up in the night sky."I have trained and watch Dontrelle grow up and even as a golden spooned kid, he lived a harsher than most children his age. Because of the conflicts between his two elder siblings and Mr. Peter, their relationship with each other turned distant. When I first met Dontrelle, his eyes were as dark as the abyss, he had cold complexion in his face and he never talked nor looked at me fo

Chapter 12: A Spar With The Strong
After the test, it was finally time for Kal to enter the reawakening pool. The pool was the size of a jacuzzi and the crystal clear water is made up of really small nanobots that moved and acts just like water."In this pool are nanobots that will assist you in the reawakening process, all you need to do is enter the pool and concentrate. The process will hurt since the nanobots will be absorbing all the impurities in your body including all the unrefined mana. After it has removed all the unrefined mana inside you, they will refine the mana and release it back, your task is too absorb as much refined as you can. Never lose your concentration, if you lose your concentration, you might loose all the refined mana and fail to increase your mana core's capacity thus losing all the efforts you did in improving." Joe explained in a serious tone."So does that mean I have to redo everything next year if I fail in absorbing all the refined mana?" Kal asked in shock."Yes, tha

Chapter 13: Meeting Again
Kal stared at Dante's left leg smiling. When Dante checked what Kal was grinning at, he looked at his left leg and was dumbstruck to what he saw. "H-how?" Dante stuttered in his words. He was surprised to find out that the cloth of the torso in his left ankle has been torn a bit showing his skin that revealed a red mark. Although it didn't left a scratch, the red mark was a sign that something had hit it. 'I definitely blocked all of his attacks but where did this mark came from? No way, was it..' Dante then scanned Kal who was still lying in the ground and when he check his belt, the scabbard for his knife was empty. He checked at where the knife had gone to and he went back to the position he was standing. There he saw the knife stuck in the ground with some cloth from his torso stuck between the dull blade of the weapon.'While he was airborne, the reason he purposely aimed all his attack to my upper body so that I would lower my defense in my lower bod

Chapter 14: First Dungeon Raid
As soon as they enter, they were greeted by a sinister breeze. The hunters in front immediately raised their shields and readied their weapons. Dontrelle and Kal also did the same, Dontrelle raised his circular shield the size of a window frame and his sword. Kal stretch the string of his bow and aimed at the pit of darkness. "I can see them!" Kal exclaimed staring at the darkness from afar. This was due to the heightened senses he gained from his innate talent so he had an eyes that could see from a kilometer away and he had a night vision that come to that.  "You see them from this distance? What type of monsters are lurking from the darkness?" The man asked Kal."They have a very short stature, they are covered in fur, they look like wolves but their standing on their feets and wear light armor and short swords, I can see some using bows, shields and spears." Kal said as he accurately describe the appearance of the monsters. "From your descri

Chapter 15: Fight Against A Champion
Kal kept on firing the hawk spring arrow. He aimed at the same wound in the leg and activated the bleeding effect. The Kobold champion tried to cover the wound in the leg using his axe but as soon as it did that, Kal would aim to the other wound on the rib. They watch the one-sided beat down with utter shock. The fear effect had subsided a while ago but they were so induced to what was happening, they forgot that they could already move.'Where did he find such an arrow? How can it simply disappear and appear to his hands?' The man muttered to himself as he continued to watch Kal. His men were also thinking of the same thing and Dontrelle who was shocked at what was happening also felt a disbelief.Grraagh!The Kobold champion growled loudly infuriated at the barrage of attacks it couldn't defend. It raised its giant axe up in the air and smash it right down to ground. The ground in its fall cracked and unearthed the ground in a wide area shaking the entire dome of th

Chapter 16: Hardwork Pays Off
The next day, Kal woke up in the hospital. He opened his eyes and looked around the room. Just beside him was Dontrelle. Dontrelle's left leg and right arm was wrapped in bandages. He was eating turon (A classic Filipino dessert that is made of ripe banana and wrapped in lumpia wrapper and then fried in oil covered in caramelized brown sugar)while watching the news in the TV. When he saw that Kal was awake, he immediately greeted him."Kal your awake! Thanks for saving me back there and look! You're in TV." Dontrelle pointed at the TV screen. Reporter 1: "A HIGH E-RANK DUNGEON HAS BEEN DISCOVERED IN THE IRON SANCTUM IN CEBU. WITNESS HAS IT THAT THERE WERE THREE HUNTERS IN THE VICINITY AND HAD ENTERED THE DUNGEON GATE WITHOUT NOTIFYING THE HIGHER-UPS, UNFORTUNATELY THEY WERE FOUND DEAD BY THE HUNTERS WHO WERE ASSIGNED FOR THE DUNGEON RAID.

10 seconds later, the gust of wind slowly dissipate. All the stuff in Kal's room was disoriented. After [Whirlwind]'s duration was done, a window panel appeared from Kal's view.Ting~Tips: Skills can be activated via voice command.

Chapter 18: Peerless Talent
"Puhahahaha! Are you serious right now?" Dante ask in a serious tone."I'm dead serious." Kal said showing no doubts in his face. "I don't like fooling around Kal. I may look gentle but if you dare to lie to me, I'll make sure to cut your tongue off. I don't care if you're Dontrelle's brother, you must've forgotten that we are still complete strangers, you don't know what I can do so make sure you're telling the truth or else..." Dante sounded infuriated. He was emitting murderous aura as he unsheathed half of his rapier from its scabbard.'This aura is just as frightening as Jennifer's. What the hell did I do? I was just telling the truth.' Kal said to himself. He was sweating profoundly and he swallowed down his nervous saliva. He remained composed as it is and didn't flinch from the murderous vibe Dante was giving off. "Dante stop!" Lin Wei called out Dante. Dante immediately released his murderous aura after hearing her calls."Kal, if what y

Chapter 19: Class Quest
Before Kal started his hunting career, he had to do different types of jobs to earn money so he can eat. He didn't have time to have fun since he always took his jobs as priority. The only source of entertainment he had was watching TV. When he do night shifts in grocery stores. The news would always be about hunters and sanctum. He idolized powerful hunters and always see himself as an ant compared to them. He was fascinated by their martial arts, their prowess and how amazing they looked in TV. Even after becoming a hunter, he always humbles himself that he will never be like them and if he could learn a martial art or two, he wouldn't compare himself to the hunters he had been watching when he was still working."You must be kidding right? I mean I can't even compare myself to Dontrelle or even you guys! Ain't I just a normal hunter? Geniuses like those hunters I see on TV could probably do much better than me. Come on now guys, don't praise me that much, you're gonna make m
