We had probably been walking for more than two hours, not knowing where we were going. There hadn't been any word from Newt about the creature's presence in this place."Sir. Aren't you tired?" I turned to the woman beside me. Her face looked flushed and exhausted. I had to admit that the air was hot and the sun was scorching. I didn't feel tired because I was a hunter who had more strength and endurance than ordinary humans.Of course, I'm tired. But I had to act like a normal human so that the woman next to me wouldn't be suspicious of me."In that case, shouldn't we rest for a while?"I nodded, obeying her wishes. We stopped and looked for a leafy place to shelter. There was a big, tall tree with thick leaves, so we sat down."Are you thirsty?" I saw her swallow a couple of times. It looked like she was doing it to wet her dry throat.The woman nodded weakly. "Have you brought a drink, sir? "I did bring a drink, which I put in a bag in my inventory, but there was no way I could ge
"Leon! Leon! Wake up!" I felt disturbed as someone shook my body. How could someone else be in my room? I should fire the maid who let someone else into my personal space."Leon!"I got up quickly, preparing to get angry. But when I opened my eyes and saw who was standing in front of me, I cancelled my intention. I blinked a few times as I looked around.I smacked myself lightly on the forehead after realising that I wasn't sleeping at home. "What's wrong, Michele? Why did you wake me?" Although I wasn't angry, I was annoyed that my sleep had been disturbed. It felt like I'd only been asleep for a short while, why was Michele disturbing me?Instead of answering, Michele covered my mouth with her hand. "You can't shout. I think there are other people outside the house." She whispered with her eyes still fixed on me.I jerked my head to free my mouth from Michele's gag. "What are you doing?" I snapped. I glared back at her. I didn't like her disrespectful behaviour."Shh...!" She put h
It will be very dangerous if all the zombies evolve. I won't be able to detect their presence.In the midst of my confused thoughts, I looked back at Michele. The zombie was choking Michele and lifting the woman's body slightly. Michele's eyes were bulging as if they wanted to pop out of their sockets. Both her hands were flailing at the zombie's arms.I concentrated to make the most of my energy. After feeling all the warmth enveloping my body, I moved quickly towards the zombie. With my right hand, I pulled on the hand that was strangling Michele. Michele's body fell instantly as the stranglehold was released."Go and hide!"Michele, feeling her neck, quickly got up and ran towards a house. After confirming her entrance, I focused on the zombie in front of me.He raised his other hand to strike at me, but I slashed at his arm with my sword first. A small piece of the zombie's arm fell off. But not long after, the arm grew back.My eyes bulged for a moment as I saw the arm come back
"Magic?" I frowned as a holographic screen appeared in front of me, informing me that I had acquired a new skill.[Magic is one of the highest skills in Smoky Hollow. How could a hunter below level 30 acquire it? You are lucky, Master]"Really?" It wasn't just Newt who was confused, I felt the same way. "How do I use it, Newt?" Both my clenched hands were raised. I opened my right hand and saw a white light emanating from the fist. It grew in size until it was the size of a volleyball. I raised my hand to see the light more closely.[The key to this skill is energy control. You have learned this ability before. I am sure you will have no trouble using it.]I tried to focus my energy in my right hand and immediately the white light turned yellow and then orange.[The orange colour is the highest energy at the base level. You can try it by pointing the light at an object]I gave a small nod and my eyes were immediately drawn to an empty house in front of me. I pointed my hand at the hou
"Little fairy flower." I touched a flower that looked like a fairy with two wings. It was a light purple with a yellow stem. As far as I could tell, each tree had only one flower.I lingered to observe the plants and flowers in this place because they all looked unique and unfamiliar to me. It is like this flower in front of me. Not only was its shape a little strange, but the scent was so strong that it almost made me hold my breath.Little fairy flowers can be used to make various potions, such as youth potions and longevity potions. According to the books I read, the process takes days because the flowers need to be soaked for a few days to release their essence. But I had to find other ingredients because the potion needed a lot of ingredients.I picked up a few sprigs of little fairy flowers and placed them in the container I had prepared. In one clump of this plant, I got about 20 flowers. I moved to another clump and picked them up.When I thought I had enough, I moved on to an
I raised my other hand to strengthen my grip on the stick. Then I slowly tried to climb onto the rock.I looked down at my lower body. My brow furrowed as I noticed something strange."Wasn't part of my body in the water earlier? Why isn't it wet?" I was pretty sure my feet had felt cold when I was in the water earlier, but when I came to the surface, there was no trace of it. My shirt and trousers were dry—not wet at all.Curious, I crouched down and dipped my hand into the river water in front of me. It felt like my hand was in the water, cold and wet. But when I pulled it up, it was not like when our skin comes into contact with water.I repeated this, but this time I picked up the water with my hand. But it was like a mirage that was not real, like a shadow that could not be touched.I wanted to find out more, but the sound of birds chirping stopped me. I turned my head towards the starving birdlet and let out a long sigh."I have to give this birdlet something to eat first." I st
I was still silent as I stared at the wand in my hand. I want to start training, but I don't know where to start. And also if I should chant some spells like the ones I saw in the film.[DO YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO USE THIS WAND?][YES] [NO]I gasped as a quest suddenly appeared in front of me. With a little hesitation, I pressed the 'YES' button. Why, as if the system understood what I was thinking.[ANCIENT SPELLBOOK][PRICE: 2,000,000 COINS][YES] [NO]My mouth fell open when I saw the amount of coins I had to spend to buy a book. However, since I really wanted to practice, I did not feel bad about spending so many coins.Not long after I pressed the 'YES' button, an ancient book floated in front of me. I caught it. I looked at the cover of the book until I finally decided to find a comfortable place to read it.I sat cross-legged under a tall, lush tree with the book in my hands. I placed my wand on my right side so that I could easily use it if I wanted to practice.I looked at t
The crack grew wider and wider, and slowly, the atmosphere around me changed to a burning paper-like effect.I lowered my hand when my surroundings had completely changed. I turned around to see the surroundings. I recognised this place, it was the backyard of my house. The fish pond, the fountain and the pavilion in the middle of the pond were familiar sights to me.I look up at the dark sky above and then down at the watch on my wrist.20.33 1 June 2024.The watch was working again, which meant that I was currently in my original world. If I was not mistaken, I had been on the street on the same day at around half past eight in the evening. This meant that I had been in Smoky Hollow for over 60 hours.It felt like I had been in Smoky Hollow for days, but I had only been in this world for an hour.I quickly put my wand in my inventory when I heard footsteps coming from the direction of the main building."Hey! Who are you?" There was a shout from behind me. Then came the sound of a
