I stood up and held Medeline in my arms. The girl was still crying; her face was hidden in my chest. She hadn't noticed that we were surrounded by a bunch of zombies, maybe even her mother.I stepped back as they all approached us at once. Only then did Medeline raise her tear-stained face.She looked up at me, then turned her head to the side. As soon as she saw what was around us, she tightened her arms around me."I'm scared, Uncle," she whispered in a trembling voice. Her former stern demeanour was gone. Perhaps because she felt I was the only one who could protect her now. She hid her face in my chest again, because the zombies' faces were very frightening.I just kept quiet because I couldn't say anything to calm her down. Her eyes moved from left to right, watching them one by one. One of my arms was supporting the little girl's body, and one of my hands was now holding the wand.I gripped the wand tightly and poured all my energy into it. Moments later, a line of light appeare

I was put in a special room reserved for the owner of the hospital. I was completely incapacitated for several hours, and they had to put an IV into my wrist.[Name: Leon Durand][Sex: Male][Age: 28 years old][Intelligence: 817/1000][Skills: Observation Level 4; Healing Level 1][HP: 11300/11300][MP: 100/100][XP: 10923/11300]After resting for a while, my XP and MP had fully recovered. My energy had also returned. I removed the IV from my hand and got off the stretcher. I looked down at my body, which had changed into hospital clothes. I don't know who had changed it for me, because I had fainted as soon as I got to the ward.I opened the drawer of my bedside table and found my wallet and mobile phone. I picked up my phone and opened it. There were several calls and messages from Olivia. Just as I was about to open the message, a call came in. It was from the same person who had sent me the message."What's up, Oliv?" I asked in my usual cold tone."Sir! Vasco said you wanted to

Although there had been a small argument between me and Olivia, she still did what I asked. She was travelling with Michele to help the girl pay off her parents' debts.Michele can't possibly travel alone with that much money, it's very dangerous. In addition to Olivia, I hired two security guards to watch over her. Olivia was as professional as ever, but why was I disappointed?After they left, I went into the backyard. I took the wand from my inventory to enter Smoky Hollow. I chose to train in Smoky Hollow because it was time-wise similar to this world. I could train for hours in Smoky Hollow, and it was only a few minutes in this world.I cast a spell, and soon the atmosphere around me changed. If I had been in the garden before, I was now at the edge of the waterfall. This was the waterfall where I got my wand.I had deliberately chosen this place because there was a lot of natural energy to be harnessed. One of the basics of witchcraft is to control the energy around you. Water,

I don't understand why I finally accepted Eren's invitation to join him. On the one hand, I didn't want to know about other hunters' successes, but on the other hand, I had the same goal as them, which was to restore the balance between this world and Smoky Hollow.Eren and I parted ways when I refused his offer, but he gave me his business card anyway. And after thinking about it for a while, I finally contacted him and agreed to his offer."I just found five people, so with you we will be seven," Eren said as we walked through a deserted alley in the neighbourhood where we met.The neighbourhood was deserted, as most of the residents had fled the isolated area for safety. All the doors of the houses were closed as we walked."Are they all from Midtown?" I really wonder how many hunters there are in this town.Eren shook his head. "Only the two of us are from Wouland. The others are from different countries."I nodded. "Then, how did you find it?""The first day the Smoky Hollow Gate

Behind the wall of a building, I could see the three men pointing their guns at the FROG. I could see that they fired several times at the giant frog.But before their bullets ran out, they couldn't destroy the frog. I could even see Jovian's angry face clearly.Something was strange here. Looking at the level of the frog as well as the weapon used when the person chased the giant frog, it should have been destroyed. But why was the giant frog not even injured?The frog jumped again and was able to cover several hundred metres in a single leap. His foot stepped directly on a house, causing it to collapse instantly. I saw it shoot out its huge tongue and hit a truck parked on the road, causing it to crash onto the road.Eren, Jovian, and Kasto ran over to the giant toad. Jovian's smug face was gone, replaced by one of annoyance at not being able to destroy the frog.I twisted my body and moved to the left side of the window so I could keep an eye on them. I continued to concentrate on
