"Rollo…"Drake couldn't believe what he was seeing. In front of him was the red haired boy. The idiot who he had fought alongside with against the black cloaks, the Icehorns and all the other beasts. The same one who showed him how to cut wood and thought him about the new world.That kid who is no older than fifteen and didn't seem to be the sharpest tool in the shed was walking through the sea of black flames as they slowly vanished into thin air.Arriving in front of Drake, the red haired boy crouched down so they could be on the same eye level. Looking into his eyes for a couple of seconds, a wide grin spread on Rollo's face as he reached out and patted Drake on the shoulder."C'mon! Don't look at me like that! I'll apologize, okay?" Laughing loudly for quite a while he then continued. "But to think you were able to survive this far on your own. I wasn't expecting much when he brought you here, but you continued to impress me again and again!"Drake wanted to say something. He wan
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
"I'M HOME!!!" A loud voice announced. All heads had turned the moment they heard the door open but once they saw who it was that came in they all threw aside whatever they were doing and lined up and bowed their heads. "Welcome back, lord Rollo Dragonspear, lady Edda Firestone." The servants said in perfect unison as if they had practiced it countless times. "Alright, everyone go back to your jobs." Rollo said as he walked through the two rows of maids and butlers. An old man followed behind them as the two walked toward the wide stairs leading. "I see you're doing well, Gunther. How've things been while I was gone?" Rollo asked, glancing back at the old butler. "Your concern is wasted on me, my lord." Gunther replied. "Your father has been in a bad mood after receiving your report. He's waiting for you in his office." "Man, I dont really want to deal with him right now. He always gets angry when I dont return on time." The boy shuddered at the thought of his furious father. W
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,
Trees creaked and snapped like twigs. Stones split and crashed into dust. Everything standing in it's way gets destroyed. Nothing could hope to stop its mad rush.The beast was named the Brown Tusks. It was once a normal boar like any other, however after years of devouring magical fruits, plans and corpses it turned to Magical Beast. Even to this day it still continues to devoure everything it could find spreading destruction everywhere it went. Many Hunters had tried and failed. Vanquishing the monster was now considered an impossible task. However one man saw that as his chance. After all there was nothing that satisfied him more than hunting a powerful for.[Brown Tusk (C) lvl 168]The reality was disappointing to say the least. The beast he had tracked turned out to be of such a low tier. Hearing the stories of the horror it had caused he expected it to be at least an A tier, however as it turned out the secret behind its strength was its level and not its class."Now, how do I
"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.
A week later Drake finally reached the coast city of Deadsea. Unlike any settlements he had come by during his travel this one was by far the biggest, surrounded by a wall of stone instead of wood with buildings that seemed to be carved out of earth. Snow seemed to dissapear at some point leaving only wide green fields extending all the way to the stone walls.At the far east over a giant hill stood the earl's castle. A majestic white building with a huge tower that overlooked the entire city.Having taken a small detour in order to hunt, Drake emerged from a forest west to the main road leading to the city gate. Because of that it was only now that he noticed the long line of caravans waiting to get permission for entry."This will… definitely take a while…"Just when he began to wonder why they had to force everyone into a single line he noticed that a second gate was open near the coast, though that one had a long line as well. "Guess I have no choice." Although annoyed by the ti
"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
