The Crimson Lord fell. A moment of silence passed followed by the howling of the surviving beasts before they made their escape. No one tried to chase after them. The fight has finally ended and the crises has been averted. Many of the Hunters collapsed to their knees as exhaustion caught up to them. That went twice for Ragnar. The old man laid down on his back. Light enveloped him and he gradually reverted back to his old form. "Ragnar!" Gunnar tossed his shield and ran to the chief's side. "What were you thinking! You know you're too old for that!""Hahaha, what are you talking about? I still got it in me, you know!""This is no laughing matter!"Though his son in law continued his reproach, the old village chief just laughed until he ran out of breath. Watching the scene from a small distance away, Drake couldn't help but smile. He glanced down at his blade, then at the beast he had just slain. An inexplicable sense of joy filled him. It was the first time in his life that he ha

Standing at the edge of the unpleasantly familiar cliff, Drake surveyed the white scenery which extended all the way to the horizon. "To think it was all real…" Gunnar said as he stood a small distance away. Beside him was the frozen corpse of a giant blue bird, covered in ice and snow. Signs of a long drawn out battle were everywhere; broken weapons and shields, corpses missing their other halves, earth warped by magic and skills. One look and anyone could tell what had happened in this place. Gunnar, along with a few Hunters from Thors village, had accompanied Drake on his trip to mount Icewyrm to see for themselves whether what he claimed was true or not.The boy had told them the story of how he ended up in their village, which was completely different from what they remembered. Drake was the most shocked by the difference in their testimonies. According to the Hunters they found him collapsed in front of their village. That sounded more believable after taking the trip to moun

A month had passed since the battle with the Crimson Lord. Though the confusion Rollo had caused made it difficult for Drake to fit in, he still did his best to help around the village. The reason being that they'd lost four Hunters recently which was quite the problem for such a small village. Drake wanted to leave as soon as possible but he felt a sense of guilt that tied him there. He had to at least repay the favors he owed them before setting out.One of the things he had done was helping Harald level up. The two of them went around hunting with Drake giving up all of his Souls to speed up the process, only stopping once Harald's Silverback had reached level 30.Drake donated most of his earnings from the hunts as well, only keeping the bare minimum he needed for his trip. He hoped that would be enough to make up for what the village had lost as well as help fill the gap he would eventually create."Are you sure about this? You can still change your mind, you know." Ragnar said,

"Now that the beast is gone our village will finally be at peace. Young Hunter, I don't know how to thank you enough.""No need, elder. You've already given me an appropriate reward."After killing the Brown Tusks Drake made his way back to the village where he had received a certain quest. It required him to take down the beast which has been terrorizing the villagers for the past two years preventing them from hunting or gathering in the woods.[SYSTEM NOTIFICATION][You have completed Quest: 《Deadly Boar Suppression》Your affinity with Horo village has increased.You’ve gained 400 Soul Essence.][400 Soul Essence has been absorbed by 《Baby Night Wing lvl 39》][《Baby Night Wing 》 had accumulated the required amount of Soul Essence.][《Baby Night Wing》 ’s level has increased.][SYSTEM NOTIFICATION][《Baby Night Wing》has reached max level.New evolution has been unlocked.]"Is something wrong?" An old woman, the chief of Horo village, asked noticing the change in Drake's expression.

"Finally a decent bed!" Throwing himself on the soft mattress of his rented room, Drake finally allowed himself to relax. The screening took quite a while and by the time he got into the city the sun had already set. After parting his way with the group of travelers who stood ahead of him in the line the first thing he did was find himself some lodging to spend the night. He wasn't in the mood to go out for dinner so all he did was produce a jar of dried fruit from his inventory and along with some deer jerky and cold water he had a light dinner and was ready for some eyeshut.As he began to drift into the dreamworld his mind went back to the conversation he had with Loki and his group.~◇~"You see, Drake. The land you've been living on is just a big island.""... what?" The news were quite the shock to Drake.Through his three months stay in this world he had come to believe that the snow covered lands were in some corner near the north pole. The terrain and image didn't give the s
