Fanel had just beaten the trolls with disconcerting ease. In his life, he had never known that such a thing could be possible. He just remembered the comments between hunters on their return from the mission. They were all talking about how rifts with trolls were powerful and hard to fix, especially if these trolls attacked in groups of four or five individuals. But there, it had only taken him a single attack to get rid of more than ten trolls. It was obvious that he had reached an extremely high level. He smiled before feeling a few tingles in his palm.
"Ah, I haven't mastered this power yet… Even if the wounds are healed quickly, the discomfort remains the same." Fanel squeezed the point before opening the system window. He had to find a way to deal with both the physical pain and eradicate the discomfort of a wound once healed. "Is it possible to evolve my regeneration skill to this stage?" Fanel swallowed heavily as he waited for an answer.[The God hand has no limit and allows you to expand the abilities of your basic skills], the system replied. Fanel smiled before unfolding the rest of the information. They had been categorized by level and he now knew that to fully master this power, he had to go step by step. But he didn't worry, his physical and intellectual level up allowed him to manage this kind of training in a short time. Didn't he manage to get rid of a group of trolls without worry?He looked up at the window before reading the steps.[Regeneration skill, training level]Level 1: Level of increased mastery: The possessor trains and gains experience, and his regeneration ability can become more powerful and effective. By further mastering this skill, he can learn to eradicate not only physical injuries but also emotional or physiological side effects related to the injury."So from level 1, I can already resolve this discomfort. Well, I'm glad it's fast, let's see what the other levels say."[Level 2: Focusing Healing Energy: You can learn to focus your healing energy on the affected area, including healing feelings of discomfort or pain. By focusing on this specific intention, the healing process can not only close the wounds but also soothe the associated suffering.]"I see, it's pretty much the same as the first step but I guess I can't just ignore it if it's a step in the process."[All steps are required, master], the system reminded him. Fanel smiled. "I imagine."[Level 3. Knowledge of medicinal plants or healing rituals: You can gain in-depth knowledge of medicinal plants or healing rituals that facilitate complete recovery, eliminating residual discomfort. This skill can allow you to customize remedies or rituals based on the specific nature of the injury to treat all aspects of the ailment.Level 4. Strengthening the mind-body connection: You will be able to develop your ability to connect on a deeper level with your own body and mind. By developing this ability, you can more clearly perceive the psychological or emotional repercussions of an injury and use its regeneration to heal them as well.Level 5. Transformation to Peak Physical State: You can work on your regeneration process to reach a peak physical state after healing from an injury. This may include restoring the body's energy balance, repairing physiological deficiencies, and restoring full vitality, which eradicates any form of injury-related discomfort.]Fanel smiled before closing his eyes, deciding to apply to the first level. He looked at the trolls in the distance, knowing that he had at least ten minutes to evolve his power to level 1.Fanel sat in a meditative pose on the floor with his legs crossed. He slightly spread his knees to provide stable support, and his back was straight, his spine aligned. His shoulders were relaxed, arms resting on his thighs.The system guided him on how to promote the flow of his energy using mudras. He closed his eyes, focusing deeper and allowing introspection. He easily attenuated the visual distractions around him to direct his attention inward.His breathing was smooth and natural, as he focused on inhaling and exhaling. This quickly calmed his mind and facilitated relaxation.His surroundings helped him immerse himself completely in his meditation, and finally, he could feel the flow of his energy all over his body, unlocking every level of his magic points. He felt them open up or evolve gradually, and a few minutes later, he stood up."It's amazing how much easier it becomes to master certain aspects of the system. I feel more powerful now," Fanel remarked.To be sure, Fanel opened his statistics window. He hadn't done it for months, already knowing the results. Those same results hadn't changed since he gained his hunter powers almost five years ago. But he was convinced that this time it would be different."Let's see," he said.[Name: FanelLevel: 98Title: Punisher-------Mana Point (MP) and Magic Resist: 999Physical strength and resistance: 999Dexterity: 97Constitution: 999Intellect: 999Stamina: 999Wisdom: 98Charisma: 999Health: 999Internal Skills: 98Agility: 999Equipment: 10-------Skills:ExtensionSpiritual EnlightenmentInstant RegenerationHeal/Acupuncture/God's Hand]It was impressive.His stats had always been limited to a maximum of 5. To think that he would be able to reach such a power level, he couldn't believe his eyes. Surely no other hunter, not even the leader of Behemoth, had such insane stats.It's really real. He had truly become the most powerful hunter there is, and he still had room to grow if he focused on the five stats where he wasn't at his peak."Level, wisdom, skill, dexterity, but above all, equipment. What is this null stat?" Fanel wondered.He knew that to harmonize them with the other statistics, he must first master God's Hand."Well, I have all the necessary time and means to achieve it here," he said confidently.He advanced toward the trolls he had defeated before the system window opened.[Would you like to use the gems earned after defeating monsters to increase your equipment points? Check YES if this is the case, or NO if you want to ignore this command.]YESFanel gasped."Monsters can be used for equipment?"Fanel smiled. This world still had a lot to teach him, and he was excited to discover more.Fanel was stunned; they weren't taught that in the hunter guilds. No one would have suspected that one could use the monsters to increase not only his equipment, but as he can see on the system screen, one could also use their energy: gems, to increase certain statistics in their stats.Why wasn't this noted anywhere?[It is the will of the creator of the system that hunters do not start hunting monsters greedily.] "I understand. If hunters learn that they can increase their stats by killing monsters, greedy and selfish as they are, some will do anything to kill as many of them as possible."They were already hungry for fame and reputation, so if they have a way to rise above the rest, no doubt they will do everything possible and unimaginable to dominate other hunters. "I see. System, I want to convert the gems obtained into equipment and keep another one in mana reserve."[Converted Gems]Fanel nodded before turning to his cave. His exploration was just beginning, and he is ready f
"Are you really going to hide your powers from other hunters and society?" Kamisama asked, surprised. For him, it was normal that a human who has always been despised and harassed by his peers wanted to take advantage of his new power to take revenge.But this human rather wants to be discreet."Yes, as you gave me the mission. I must at all costs find solutions adapted to the situations I will face."Fanel turned to the deity before continuing."I could never really appreciate the situation if I was at the top. It is only by putting myself in the place of the weakest that I would know what they are going through".He finished talking, and Kamisama agreed with him."Well, do as you want. But don't forget the responsibilities of having this power, but above all, never transgress the condition".Fanel understood this well. He must punish renegade hunters without ever taking their lives. He is aware of this and does not intend to turn away from his morality."I don't see why you worry abo
"So, Is it moving forward?""Yes eventually." "Eventually, what?"The pressure around the table grew heavier as the other people around also seemed interested in the future words of the one standing in front of them. The person swallowed before speaking, his voice shaking. "It's that… What you're asking me is very complicated andA dagger passed close to his face, scraping his face as blood flew."I'm not asking you what your impressions of the process are, but when it will be effective."The man lowered his head, wanting to wipe the blood from his cheek, but he was too afraid to raise his hand.Those people in front of him are so scary. And to think that they are the ones who are supposed to ensure their protection. If the world knew what they were asking him to do, it would upset the order of the hunters, and the latter would no longer be seen as they are today."I beg your pardon. I'll do it as soon as possible." "You better… Otherwise, you know what's going to happen to your fam
"Thank you for helping me, Dreia," Captain Travis entered the monitoring room as a young woman was seated in front of the screens through which all of the candidates in the different examination rooms could be seen."You're welcome, Dad. I had some free time, and I don't mind helping you," Dreia replied, her attention still fixed on the screens.[ Name: Dreia - C-rank Hunter - Hellsing Guild]"Do they not give you any more missions?" Captain Travis asked, noticing Dreia's sigh."It's true that rifts are becoming a bit rare, even if the threat persists," Dreia responded, her voice tinged with disappointment. "I have the impression that all missions are assigned to a particular guild, even if there is another nearby capable of taking over the rift."Captain Travis pondered her words for a moment before sighing. "It's just an impression. Well, the test has begun. Do you have any impressions of the candidates?"Dreia scanned the screens, her gaze eventually falling on one particular screen
The forest in which the race was held was lush, with little space between the trees. The trails were narrow, and it looked like it had rained. Of course, it was artificial rain since it hadn't rained the day before. This place had been created especially for the occasion. This race felt like an obstacle course, and Fanel wondered what the real obstacle course would be like."They said the candidates can do whatever they want, the main thing is to cross the finish line in the top ten," Fanel thought to himself. He watched as the trees served as obstacles, throwing off the runners. "As I thought, no surveillance cameras. They leave us to our own devices," Fanel observed, smiling. He took a high jump, finding himself on a tree branch. Below him, the runners he had slowed down began to catch up.Sitting there, Fanel watched as each runner used trickery to hinder their competitors. "It's really unfortunate, humans are so self-centered," he remarked.The frontrunners of the race stopped to
The second round of the practical phase of the exam was about to begin. Unlike running in the forest, Fanel could not only feel cameras around him, but there were also multiple examiners. He understood it well; they were members of a special unit of the army. Fanel could understand the presence of so many people, and even Captain Travis was present, which denotes a concern for preservation. Qualified instructors were needed to supervise the event, give clear instructions, and ensure the safety of all participants.This should be their top priority during the course of this obstacle course. They have certainly analyzed that it would be more dangerous than leaving participants among themselves in the forest, each delivered to the malice of the others. Fanel sighed before focusing on the present. He thought he saw Jack and his gang being taken to the infirmary. And if he considers that no request for an explanation was made, then that was part of the test. Eliminate those least likely
Shun, the youngest swordsman in history, comes from an ancient family of swordsmen whose techniques are passed down jealously from generation to generation. Shun rose to the head of his family thanks to his prowess at the young age of 18. But he had already been talked about long before. From the age of 10, the whole world had already heard of the prowess of this genius, and of course, everyone expected him to become a hunter when the time came. However, at 15, he was not chosen by the God Hunter system. That did not prevent him from establishing a strong reputation that extends beyond ordinary mortals. Even hunters recognize him as a true prodigy of swordsmanship. Hunters who use swords in their fighting style pale in comparison to his dexterity. Despite being a mere human, his name is known to all, and his skill is legendary. Many even think that if he had become a hunter, he would, despite his young age, be an S-rank hunter, which is very rare for a hunter under 30 years old.Fan
If there is something that Fanel has never agreed to, it is people looking down on him. Even though he had to undergo this treatment every day, that didn't mean he liked it. So, now that he has the power and the means to no longer face this kind of situation, he is not going to let it happen anymore. He has chosen the shield, finding it to be the most effective weapon, especially for a novice martial artist like himself. Maybe he should delve into it since many hunters use weapons to fight.Fanel holds his shield as he sees Shun's mocking yet anticipatory gaze. "He must be thinking in his little head that he's going to crush me," Fanel thought as he established his strategy. It is simple anyway. Protect himself from Shun's sharp and undoubtedly dangerous attacks before attempting a direct frontal approach. It won't be easy because this brat has other tricks up his sleeve, but the goal here is to manage to unbalance him enough to be able to immobilize him. Why not give him a good pu
Reinhard decided to stay away; even though he also wanted to get rid of the thorn in his side that was this new rift agent, he also preferred to avoid getting involved more than was reasonable - especially when he was convinced that the outcome of this fight would not be what Grayrat had planned. Slowly, not wanting to attract the attention of either Grayrat or Fanel, he took a few steps back, trying to leave the dungeon incognito. He was not going to ruin his future as a hunter for the selfish plans of this tyrant Grayrat. Since he had been obeying him, nothing had changed for him or the guild. They were still a third-tier guild and the laughingstock of the other guilds in the city. Reinhard thought, that if this new agent managed to improve their statistics, it would be a good thing and an excellent boost for his career. So he hoped, even without helping him, that Fanel would beat Grayrat's ass and bring him down from his pedestal.Fanel watched all of Reinhard's actions out of th
“Manager… watch out, a goblin!!” Eylat screamed at the top of her lungs, but Fanel remained motionless. The goblin lunged at him, its sharp claws thrust forward, growling menacingly. Fanel sighed, his face still lowered before shifting slightly to the side, dodging the goblin's attack at the same time, surprising both Eylat and the goblin with the ease of his gesture. In his momentum, the goblin found himself on the ground, head first grunting in pain before rolling on the ground to be able to regain his senses following the shock. But he didn't notice that there was a cliff behind Fanel and he fell onto it, screaming in terror. Eylat was stunned, still not believing it. Fanel had only dodged and yet he got rid of an intermediary monster and now he returned to his activities as if nothing had happened. "The danger is not yet over. Please concentrate, Miss Eylat" Fanel's calm voice pulled Eylat out of her torpor as she panted, noticing a goblin running towards her. "Oh, shit!
Fanel's gaze turned icy as the man holding him by the collar widened his eyes. " Eh?" He exclaimed as his expression turned pale. He retracted at a sudden aura around him. "I won't do anything to you if you let go of me in the next three seconds" Fanel's voice was low yet overwhelming and he let go of Fanel unconsciously as the latter fixed his clothing crumpled by the sudden movements of the man in front of him. The latter trembled, causing his body to freeze. There was an oppressive force that insinuated itself into every pore of his body and Fanel's dominant gaze sent shivers and twitches through his entire being. This one screams for danger. It was as if he had invisible tentacles around him that prevented him from moving and even breathing. He panted harder in hopes of getting his breathing back to normal, his expression pale and terrified as his daze soon alerted his cronies behind him. “Hey man, what’s wrong?” One asked, putting a hand on his shoulder. As a respon
Eylat followed Fanel outside the guild as the latter took his seat on the passenger side. “Y…you’ll let me drive your car?” Fanel huffed, technically, it was just a service car that the ministry allocated to him. So technically, whether it's him or someone else driving, the main thing is that the car shouldn't be damaged. In addition, being a service vehicle, they are not at risk of being stopped by road checkpoints so it does not matter if he leaves the wheel. “No, unless you don’t know how to drive,” he insinuated, but Eylat quickly responded. “No, of course not. I know how to drive very well. I even passed my license with flying colors and…” “If that is the case, we can go,” said Fanel, cutting Eylat off in her sentence. The latter nodded before sitting in the driver's seat and starting the car. While Fanel had a pile of documents in front of him, Eylat took the opportunity to observe him out of the corner of her eye without losing her attention on the road. This man was
The atmosphere in the guild was dark and silent. No one managed to work for a long time, everyone watched the newcomer with fear. No one could have imagined that Greyrat could lose to a hunter who was not of higher rank than him, but what was arguably pure was that he lost to a mere human: one of those he despises overall. It was an unparalleled humiliation for him and no one wanted to approach him, especially when he wore this black and hateful look sending a murderous aura around him. Reinhard kept giving him little glances, wondering if he should still carry out their plan. It's no longer like the beginning when their plan was hatched to intimidate this new agent into doing them favors in his report. The latter is tough and given the disconcerting ease with which he managed to beat Greyrat, Reinhard does not want to provoke him. But, certainly, Greyrat will not hear it that way. “Hey boss, do we still have to go according to plan?” One of Greyrat's minions spoke as the latter gla
A long silence invaded the entrance hall of the guild while Fanel, his face slightly lowered, stood in front of Greyrat, who looked at him with a contemptuous smile and a look that was intended to be belittling and condescending.He was looking to test him; the normal reaction of a person insulted like that would be to give in to anger and defend himself, but Fanel also knew that it would be detrimental to him to reveal himself like that. He wants to act incognito, so having to respond to Greyrat's insults won't be a good idea. So, breathing deeply, he tried to contain his anger and finally looked up at Greyrat.Fanel's gaze was filled with silent determination as he stood facing his former tormentor: this arrogant and hateful hunter. It's true, Fanel needs to calm down; this idiot is ignorant of his true identity, and he would give him too many favors by responding to his stupid provocations. Even if it reminds him of the unfortunate time when he was this bad guy's whipping boy, and
Fanel looked up at the man sitting arrogantly upstairs. As usual, he was installed in this private space, which was reserved only for him, eyeing the entire guild with his contemptuous and scrutinizing gaze. Installed as if it all belonged to him. Arms crossed behind the neck, legs on a table, leaning against an expensive sofa whose material is one of the finest in Arcus, it's said that it's made with a few barks of the most perfect wood that Arcus has to offer, Of course, given the rarity and preciousness of this wood, it is also prohibited to use it outside of the manufacturing process intended for it. But those in the black market, the market where everything can be sold, even humans, have managed to divert the primary use of this inva
Fanel parked in front of the Flawless Guild building. Nothing had changed; in short, it had only been a few months since he had disappeared, so he didn't imagine that there would be many changes. But still, he felt a certain nostalgia for returning to this place.Memories of his years in this guild. His hopes and excitement from the first days to the decline and misery of his daily life could not be forgotten, but this was an important step in his inner healing process. He had to go through this to be able to move forward.[ Master, let me ask again, do you feel good about coming here again?] His system asked, and Fanel just chuckled."How many times are you going to ask me this question? I'm fine, plus, I'm not the same anymore. It's just that we can overcome the past but not forget it," he said, observing the entrance through which he had to pass. This was the main entrance where all hunters and visitors had to pass. But for Fanel, this passage seemed unfamiliar. He had only borrowe
Fanel arrived home. He looked at his program. In one day, he had had so much to do, and now he had to organize his program.[You seem to be in a good mood despite the complex situations that arise in front of you.] Fanel smiled."I've never been someone who got sucked into the vicissitudes of life. Besides, I feel like I've been useful to society by helping Cierra with the refuge."Fanel entered the bathroom and turned on the shower head.[Do you think these people will leave your friend alone?]Fanel soaped his body, rubbing vigorously."I am sure of it. This hunter will make a detailed report to his accomplices. By the time they find a way to capture me, they will need to prepare. A power like mine does not run the streets, and I'm sure it has already attracted the attention and lust of more than one."[I see, You purposely let this hunter observe your technique so he could explain it to his accomplices and you also wanted to issue a warning.]"You got it. If hunters know there's s
