"Has Raven been found?" Seth asked. Flavio helps Echo clean the dining table. Seth watched them from his chair while eating the dessert. They forbid Seth to help them. "Of course. Raven's been waiting for you. Are you satisfied with the food, Sir? You want something before we go to see Raven?" Seth giggled and finished his drink. "Yes. It's delicious. Thank you in advance, Flavio. You guys are like professional chefs. Is there anyone else in the mansion? I mean - just the four of us?" Flavio nodded stiffly. "Yes. The rest is just smart furniture. In this mansion, there are only four of us. All your needs and stuff automatically, Sir. Whatever you want. Everything is available. Just say the word, Sir." Seth's eyes darted out the window. "Can I take a walk, Flavio? Where are we exactly?" "Okay. I'll take you later. We're still on earth, Sir. Not far away from the capital of Oakenvale State, but this place is a remote territory. Not visible on a normal map. Not everyone can access

[ Power system_ ] [NAV_PORT_06//CP_ ] [ PROV.745/PDQ_ ] [ It's not that easy, Seth. President Benjamin Hayes was a clean leader. He was not involved with the covert operations in the Broken Lands. Well, it's just that he deliberately closed his eyes and ears. The thing is, there are few people to trust in Oakenvale State. The parliamentary ranks are also adept at maintaining the image behind the crimes they commit. This international issue does not generate profits for the state – they will not want to bother fighting for the human rights of others. The legal system in Oakenvale State is Mercantile. Haven't you felt it yourself? Did they ever hear your voice when you needed their help the most? Just because you don't have the money to pay them. No one stands to defend you when you are at the bottom of the caste. ] Seth chuckled. Throw away his sight. To this day, he still feels disappointed about it. "Yeah, it's true, anyway." Of course, he felt it when Castor Black treated him li

One month later. [ Welcome, Seth C. Vonstein_ ] [ Stage Two Training_ ] [ Combat Skill Enhancement_ ] [ 52 days training: 68% completed_ ] [ Focus, Seth. You should be able to use all that equipment. Ready to face anything, if necessary, execute your target using the tip of a pencil once. ] Tranggggg!!! [Terminus Frontier is a training robot. They will help you to improve your fighting skills in addition to your battle skills. ] Tranngggg!!! Tranggggg!!! "I'm trying!" Seth responded, half-exasperated. Seth dodged the attacks of Terminus Frontier, who came in unison to attack him from all directions. He grasped the two blades of the Vero Schyte sword that emitted a crimson-black-colored light. The maneuver is fast. Seth rolls to get up and cuts off both of the robots' legs until an explosion knocks out a line of Terminus Frontier crowding his steps. Every parry, slash, and swing of swords clashed with each other released dramatic sparks of crimson black that dazzled

"Ugh, shit," Seth muttered and snorted bitterly. [ This is your last Test, Seth. If you make it to the top. It means you're ready for battle. ] "Seriously?! No security or anything? It took me a while to think. You really want to kill me, don't you? In such an extreme way?" [ You are so wrong. We prepared you, Seth. You have to be able to survive on any terrain. That's the purpose of the training or the Test you took yesterday. Didn't you feel the change yourself? All this is needed on the battlefield. You hunt and search alone. You have to be able to handle any situation. ] "Yeah, I know," Seth replied as he shrugged. He clenched his two stiff hands. The wind is blowing hard. Seth must be able to balance himself so as not to fall. If he fell, he'd be dead. Calm Down, Seth. You can do this. You must be able to pass this final Test! Convince yourself. The legs and hands were twitching due to being there for too long without any backrest. Seth paused momentarily to catch his

[ Welcome, Hunter. ] [ Coverty District. Atlas-87. Sun, 21 Dec 40XX_. 12.46 AM_ ] [ Coordinate: -7°.15’789” S.121°.4’674” E_ ] [ Wind : 12m/s to Southwest 86°_ ] [ Terminal Func//Index//A4_ ] [Distance on target: 2500m_ ] [ Target mission: Marek Rockefeller. Solomon Jones. Alika Kaprov_ ] "Yep. I got the coolest place. Yeah, this is gonna be great. I can imagine my victory." [ It's too soon to celebrate victory, Hunter. It is only said to win if they have been executed. ] "Come on, entertaining me a little doesn't cost you anything, does it?" Seth staked out an automated telescope; he rotated the scope calibration to get the best visual and detail. Seth marks his enemies one by one using a temperature detector. He sat among the rows of dense Pines. The suit can camouflage with the surrounding environment. At the top of this highest cliff, only rocks, grass, or branches are frozen as far as the eye can see. The temperature is below freezing. Great place to execute. Anyone w
