First Kill Sighing, Jacob opened his eyes, darkness swimming in them. Jason, who was standing beside Jacob, felt as if Jacob was illusory, fading between reality and illusions. "Shadow Decay", Jacob slowly muttered. Instantly, Jacob's shadow enveloped the whole room, the light from the light bulbs dimming drastically."What is this??", the Assassin's disturbed voice could be heard from the shadows. The Shadow Decay was a new skill Jacob learnt; during his training process in the Shimmering Woods, he gained enlightenment from watching the life span of a flower near his training spot. He observed the process of withering of the flower and used his Shadow element to form a similar skill.Jacob's shadow turned into a corrosive demon, devouring the darkness the Assassin was emitting; within seconds, the Assassin's real body could be seen, the Shadow cloaking him devoured, revealing a skinny body draped in a dark coat. His facial features couldn't be seen though, it seemed to be hidden

Settling In "Thud", a heavy sound roused Jacob awake, opening his eyes, he saw a man pointing a gun at him, a devilish smirk on his face, the man pulled the trigger.Gasping, Jacob woke up, realising it was a nightmare. But in reality, someone was truly thumping on his door; swinging his legs of the bed, he wondered who it was when he remembered that he was now living in a cabin at the White Hunters Guild. "Thud, thud", the heavy knocking came again. Jacob stood up in a rush, hitting his toe against the bedside stool; suppressing the urge to curse, Jacob limped towards the door, swearing to kill whoever it was if the knocking wasn't for an important reason. Opening the door, Jacob saw two guys standing in front of the door, one of them holding a club, presumably that was what was being used to knock."Who are you??", Jacob asked, frowning. "So you are the newbie around here eh??", the guy holding the club asked"Who are you??", Jacob asked again, restraining the urge to snatch th

Divine Weapon A loud siren woke the Heaven's Chosens of the White Hunters Guild up. It was the day they were going to start their mission; some had woken up earlier, making some last minute preparations, while others got a good night's rest, making sure their mental health is in good shape. Jacob was part of the latter; he had a good night's sleep and by the time he woke up, he was ready to do some hunting. Taking a quick shower and getting dressed, Jacob picked up his packed bag, filled with only things he truly needed, like the dagger he looted off of the Assassin that wanted to kill him.Leaving his cabin, Jacob went straight to Jason's cabin, knocking. A few moments later, Jason opened up, fully dressed and also with a packed bag."Are you ready", Jason asked "Yeah, I am, let's go", Jacob replied and they both headed towards the Training Ground, where they met up with the other Heaven's Chosens. Looking around, Jacob spotted Lucy in a corner, rummaging through her bag. As if f

Strange Girl Seeing the question marks on top of the girl's head, Jacob was stunned. He had played games on earth, and he knew that any NPC with question marks on their heads are always legendary characters. "How did you get here??", the little girl asked Jacob in a cheerful voice."I don't know, I was looking at a Sword and then.....", Jacob was about to explain when he got a notification from the system. ____________**Ding Host is in Danger!!!**____________Jacob was confused as to what the danger was. Looking up, he wanted to drag the girl to a safe place when he suddenly saw a pair of glowing red eyes looking at him. "What did you just say??", the girl asked, her voice no longer cheerful, sounding demonic instead and insanity present in her eyes. Terrified, Jacob secretly set up a space wall in front of him as he answered the girl; "I said, I was looking at a Sword...""A Sword", the girl repeated, attempting to remember something. "Ahhh, a Sword, how long has it been??",

Setting Off At the transport centre, Jacob and Jason met up with the other Heaven's Chosens, preparing to head to Dustwind Village. "Alright, Weapon choosing time's up, time to head to the Village", an Awakened of the White Hunters Guild announced."These buses have been provided for your transport, Group A in the first one, and Group B in the second bus", the Awakened directed.Jacob and Jason headed towards the bus designated for their group, Lucy following behind them."Why are there two buses??, the space in a single bus is enough", Jason asked, confused"Maybe to facilitate easy communication between teammates", Lucy said, taking her sit behind Jacob and Jason. "Alright, strap in, we're moving", the Awakened in charge of their transportation instructed, as their bus jerked, heading towards the Village, the Group A bus leading. The journey to Dustwind Village was long, four hours of driving through rough terrain. The journey was mainly uneventful, except for the time a Split H
