A couple of minutes later the old woman returned asking for Drake to follow her. She took him to the second floor of the association's building and into a dimly room much more extravagant than anything he had seen since comming to this world.The furniture itself was different, crafted from high quality wood to look like works of art. Paintings of hunters facing an assortment of beasts filled the walls along with some old weapons put out for display. At the far end of the room was a large desk behind which a man sat with fingers intertwined in front of his face. The shadow from the back of his chair made it difficult to see his face but the light reflected on the glasses he wore made it appear as if they were painted with a white color."You can leave now." The man said and a second later the double door behind Drake closed."So you're the one with the god class Soul." The man said after a few seconds."I don't really know what you're talking about." Drake replied."I guess it's only

"By the way." Drake started. "Apparently I need to get to this Ouroboros kingdom in the next nine days. I might not be able to come along to your hunt like I promised." "Really? That's too bad." Said Edith. "But you only have nine days? Will you be ok?""Why?" "Well, you have to travel between four different islands to get there. Finding ships won't be easy.""But the chairman said I can make it.""It's not impossible but…" sighing, Edith massaged her temples as she tried to think of something. "Let's go and ask around the coast for now. Hey, maybe you'll be lucky enough to find a ship that'll leave tonight or maybe tomorrow.""Um… maybe I should go on my own. I feel like I'm asking a lot of you when I can't even keep my promise to go with you on a hunt.""Haha, don't worry about that, hunters are supposed to help each others. Besides, you can just buy us some drinks and we call it even. We can always go on a hunt the next time we meet.""I see. Thanks for the help, I really appreci

"Why would you want to risk your life like that? Can't you just… hunt here? Pretty sure there is a lot to do on the islands."Loki's tone was calm and serious. He looked Drake in the eyes as if trying to convey something. Drake didn't look away showing that his determination was unwavering."I only want to get stronger." Said Drake. "And I don't exactly have time to spare. If the beasts on the mainland can provide me with the Souls I need then I will go there and hunt."His answer caused the other three to stare at him. They all knew from the moment they met but now his words confirmed it; he's the other type of hunter.There are two types of people with the occupational of a Hunter; those who took it as a normal job and those who became Hunters because they enjoy hunting. The first type was much more careful and calculated, never taking risks beyond their means. The second type on the other hands always look for adventures and new beasts to hunt, because of that very few of them liv

"That took a while." Said Drake as he stretched his limbs."It's less than half a day." Said Loki."Well, sitting around for that long isn't really my thing." Drake was unable to sleep during the trip, even so he found himself surprisingly energetic once they arrived.Sharpstone wasn't as large as Iceland, however it was still quite large. It wasn't just a massive rock floating in the air though. According to Roland just like the rest of the floating islands Sharpstone rested on a massive bubble filled with water which gave the illusion of it being on the ocean surface despite it being hundreds of meters up in the air.It was easy to tell where it got its name from. Everywhere he looked he could see some strange black spikes scattered around. Upon further examination he realized they were some kind of volcanic rock, though it's impossible to deduce their source."The ships that fly to Goldenwoods dock on the other side of the island." Said Roland. "We want to get there as fast as po

The cave was filled with luminous moss so they party didn't have to light a torch. The more they advanced into the dimly lit cave the heavier the atmosphere got. No one dared to speak they all kept their ears and eyes open ready to take action at any moment. The cave seemed to widen the deeper in they went. Soon enough it was wide enough for them to walk comfortable and after a while they arrived at a large cavern where the beast using the cave as a lair lived.They saw the mountains of white bones and the ground black with dried blood. It was a nauseating sight and they all had to fight the urge to puke. Drake was unfazed though, carefully scanning the cavern. His eyes fell on a large black rock with a white spot on its top. [Silver Back (B) lvl 55]"That's the Silver Back." Loki whispered. "As I said, the kid is dead. Let's retreat."Drake looked at Loki and said"We can't retreat now. Besides, this is the perfect chance, right? You've been wanting to hunt for a while now."Loki
