The rift was huge. It was normal, given that it was an SS-type rift. People were running around as dark lightning tore through space around the rift. The lightning struck the ground, cracking it, and the infernal noise made the proximity to the rift unbearable for mere humans.

Fanel arrived, finding many houses destroyed, while the fire and police departments were doing everything they could to evacuate the remaining people. But with the beams coming out of the rift, it was difficult. Fanel looked from left to right, but there were no hunters in sight. However, the system had just signaled a fault.

"I guess these assholes decided not to deal with it," Fanel shook his head before hearing moans under the rubble. He concentrated on finding the source of these lamentations and set his gaze on a house whose balcony had fallen. He ran towards it.

Under the rubble, he found a grandmother and her 3-year-old granddaughter. "Young man... Save my baby first," the old woman spoke, and Fanel nodded, removing the little girl from under the rubble. He called the firefighters, who picked up the little girl before attending to the grandmother. Fanel felt a sense of satisfaction; he had just saved lives. He was finally of some use as a hunter.

Suddenly, a shrill noise echoed, and a huge red hand gripped the edge of the rift. It was tall, and its sharp claws looked like they could tear through space. Fanel's eyes widened; it was his first time seeing a dragon, and he was awestruck.

Unlike the monsters that didn't exceed two meters in height, with trolls being the most dangerous, this dragon stood more than 10 meters tall, with an impressive build. Its teeth were long, and its eyes were bloodthirsty.

The dragon let out a long scream before concentrating a huge ball of energy in its mouth and directing it toward the city center. A massive explosion rocked the ground, shaking everything in its wake, destroying the remaining buildings.

"Go quickly to safety," Fanel commanded the firefighters and other civilians still around the rift as a police officer questioned him. "And how about you, hunter? Are you going to face this calamity-type dragon alone?" The man had a critical look on his face as Fanel lowered his head.

Everyone knew the rankings because it was not only open to hunters, but even civilians were aware that he was the weakest hunter. They knew he was a talentless hunter class.

But that didn't matter. Fanel had no choice; he had to at least place himself between this dragon and the civilians, in the name of his honor as a hunter.

"Who says I'll be alone?" Fanel turned to see the hunter Mirna, one of the top 3 hunters in the system and a member of Behemoth. "Miss Mirna, you're here."

People became more reassured, and Fanel let out a sigh. It didn't matter; he just had to do his job as a hunter.

"Hey, you better take cover. This is not your level," Mirna spoke condescendingly as Fanel gritted his teeth. He knew very well that he was weak, but did that mean he should stand idly by while people suffered?

"I... I'll fight too... I can..." He had barely finished his sentence when he felt his body being lifted like a rag doll and thrown aside. The other two members of Behemoth had just arrived, greeted by cheers from the people.

"Hey, get out! Can't you see you're in the way?" The leader spoke coldly, casting a disdainful glance at Fanel. "People need us to reassure them, not losers like you. In the future, don't try to give yourself a big role. We are the stars here."

He finished speaking and threw Fanel to the side. Fanel's body hit the ground heavily, and as he retreated, he watched from afar as the three hunters battled the dragon. They were right; he wasn't up to the task. People felt safer with them than with him. Gritting his teeth, Fanel walked down a dark hallway, wishing he could be more useful, wishing he had powers other than what he possessed. It all seemed so unfair.

**Search system...** a finger tapped on the chair, and someone who looked bored let out a sigh. "These humans are getting more and more full of themselves. Treating this as some kind of star show... Hmm, what should we do?"

    "Oi Fanel, my friend, I have been looking for you everywhere," Fanel frowned. Since when had he ever been Reinhard's friend? He shook his head and decided to ignore this weirdo. Every time, that asshole tries to use him for something dirty. Why not extort his poor pay when he has four times the salary that Fanel receives?Fanel decided to ignore Reinhard and his gang. He had just suffered another humiliation, and he didn't feel like being mistreated again. "Hey, I'm talking to you," Reinhard put his hand around Fanel's neck, preventing him from moving. "It's not nice to ignore me like that when I came all nice for you," Reinhard spoke coldly as Fanel's heart trembled. What did he want? His money? He indeed rackets him every time he wants to make bets."I…I don't have any money…" he spoke in fear. "Ah, but let's see Fanel, you hurt me. Our relationship is not just about that, let's see." Reinhard withdrew before crossing the fatty. "Good news for you Fanel. We are going with you on a mi

So why am I here and what was that system window earlier?""Hello," Fanel jumped up as the man from earlier was behind him, patting him on the shoulder."Damn, you couldn't be more discreet. I almost had a stroke. And who the hell are you?" Fanel screamed before calming down. He had to, especially since this place seemed strange to him. It looked like a throne room."Right…this is my castle and you are in my throne room," the man spoke far too perky for Fanel as he took full measure of the situation."You saved me?" Fanel saw a door in the distance and decided to leave. This guy was way too weird and...He stopped abruptly. "Wait…how did you guess what I was thinking earlier?" He complained, pointing at the man who smiled."Ah, I thought I had made a mistake in my choice. But anyway…" He punched his fan

    [Congratulations, master. You have just unlocked the God Hunter system ultimate skill. The system will now explain what it is and all the parameters of this skill.] Fanel gulped. He could never have imagined in his life that he would obtain such a privilege. He, who was always the last, whose power made him feel ashamed and ranked last, would now possess the supreme power. It couldn't be a dream, could it?"No, it is indeed the reality, dear chosen one Fanel," Kamisama confirmed, his cheerful expression fading momentarily.Fanel sighed. Kamisama always did as he pleased, even when Fanel explicitly asked him not to interfere in his head."Yes, I'm like that. What's the point of having the means if it's not to use them?" Kamisama replied, seemingly reading Fanel's thoughts.Fanel reluctantly agreed. It seemed that those with power always had the privilege of using it as they wished. The line between using it and abusing it was razor-thin. Could he keep a cool head and not be seduced by t

    Fanel turned around immediately after Kamisama's sentence."Never take a life, regardless of the abuses of the guilty hunters?" Fanel questioned incredulously. It seemed strange to him that such an order would be given, as he had never intended to take the life of his fellow hunters. It was completely inconceivable to him, even if there were some, he admitted, that he would like to seek revenge against."Ah, if that's the way it is, then no worries," Fanel replied, trying to brush off the condition.Kamisama smirked mischievously, slapping his fan into his hand. "Indeed, killing is not an option...even in the most delicate situations," he whispered to himself as Fanel turned to look at him.Fanel nodded, realizing that it should have been obvious for anyone who knew him even a little, or at least a God like Kamisama, to guess that he would accept this condition without hesitation. He wanted to help ordinary humans, even if it meant opposing powerful hunter guilds. He had witnessed enou

    Fanel just had time to close his eyes for a brief moment when he found himself standing with the rift behind him. He had been abruptly transported into this world, feeling like he had been sucked into it. However, as he stood there alone in this unknown world, he felt strangely at home.Anyway, there was no longer any way to return to the other side since the rift opened by Kamisama was closing. Why would he even want to go back there? He had chosen to come here to learn how to master his new power, and until that was done, he would stay here. He didn't think Kamisama would let him come here if there was even a remote chance of danger. The deity cared too much for his chosen one. Moreover, Kamisama reassured him that he would be fine. Kamisama was not someone who would lie, and with his intrusive way of reading his thoughts, Fanel was sure that when he was ready, the deity would open a rift for him to return to his world... Or failing that, he would find a solution.He took a step forw

    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 yo

    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

    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

    Improvement.

    “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!

    Inside the Dungeon.

    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

    Power struggle

    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

    Fanel's supremacy

    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

    The shadow of a master.

    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.

    Nothing changes.

    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

    First mission as a Rift Agent.

    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
