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?"

    Midtown is becoming increasingly chaotic. Now it wasn't just the southern districts that were on lockdown, but the neighbouring districts as well. The four of us drove to the place I was talking about. We kept our eyes on the road all the way.It was late and completely deserted. Even the buses, which used to run all night, were in the garage by 5pm. There were no more people on the streets."Eren! Stop! There's something strange over there!" Jovian, who was sitting next to Eren, pointed in one direction. Eren stopped the car and looked in the direction Jovian was pointing."What's wrong, Jo. I don't see anything."Just like Eren, I couldn't see anything either. It was so dark that our view was limited.Jovian chuckled and pointed in one direction again. "There's something behind that tree. And it doesn't seem to be a creature or a man."Hearing Jovian's words, I immediately sharpened my vision. "This person, why is he here?""Do you know, Leon?" I gasped as Kasto suddenly spoke to me

    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

    "Look! The news about FROG was on the national news." Kasto gave Eren his tablet when we had just arrived at the hospital parking lot.Eren took Kasto's tablet and watched the video Kasto showed him. "No one saw us, right? It'll be bad if someone finds out about us. Especially since we're using weapons that are banned in this country."Eren watched the video intently. His brow furrowed, while his eyes squinted occasionally to focus on the video in front of him."All clear! No camera will ever catch us as long as you stay close to me." Jovian said confidently. It was my turn to ask myself what he meant. What skills did he have that could not be caught on camera? It turns out that there are many amazing abilities that I don't know about.After making sure that none of their images had been recorded, Eren handed the tablet back to Kasto. Then he turned to me."Are you sure that this hospital is the beginning of all this?" Eren asked me in a serious tone."Actually, I'm not sure, but I no

    After failing to find a way to repair the leaking gate, the three decided to return home while they searched for a way to resolve all of this.After the three had left, I returned to this place. My eyes remained fixed on the cracked barrier. According to Jovian, only hunters with magical abilities could overcome it."Newt, do you know where my wand is?"[Your wand is not in the inventory, Master]"Perhaps it was left where I fainted earlier?" I quickly turned and walked towards the special door. Arriving outside the hospital, I immediately took off my PPE and handed it to the security guard.Once outside, I immediately took my motorbike from the inventory. I rode the bike at high speed because I didn't want to lose my cane. Considering what Jovian had said, it would be dangerous if any bad guys found my stick.As the roads were very quiet, with hardly any vehicles passing by, I was able to reach the place in less than 10 minutes. However, I couldn't go straight into the area because a

    I immediately ran towards the source of the noise. But I couldn't find anything, even though I'd surrounded the place. It seemed unlikely that Ian had travelled far."Newt, do you sense any human energy around here?"[No, Master]"Maybe he's far away by now." I shrugged, not wanting to think too much. Whether Ian lived or died was not my concern.I quickly returned to where my bike was. After picking up the dropped phone, I quickly got on the bike and rode off. I had found a mouse trail to get to this place.I turned off the engine and put the bike in inventory before walking into the area. It was just a footpath, rarely used, as almost everyone had a motorised vehicle.I walked slowly, looking left and right to make sure nobody saw me. It was completely deserted, like the rest of the neighbourhood. The people who still lived in the area must have been afraid to go out, especially at night.I walked for quite a while until I reached the spot where the fight had taken place earlier in

    I frowned when I saw that the potion I had made was dark brown. "It's not working." A long sigh escaped my lips as the back of my hand wiped away the sweat dripping down my temples.I poured the liquid into the sink and washed the utensils I had used. Just as I was about to dry the utensils I had used, the sound of shouting came from the direction of the glass room.I quickly placed the jar next to the sink and rushed towards the glass room. There, I saw that the person I had brought last night was now standing. His hands were clenched into fists, and he seemed to be grinding his teeth.I looked at his changing eyes. Sometimes they were completely white, but sometimes they were normal like any other human."Has he turned into a zombie, Newt?"[I still feel human energy, Master]"So I can't kill him yet?" I sighed roughly, not knowing what to do with the human in front of me.Nothing changed, so I decided to try again to make a healing potion."Huft! I can't fail this time." I picked t

    I felt that Eren was a trustworthy person, so I invited him into my potion room. I also showed him the person I found in the street that night."He has almost turned into a zombie, but he still has human energy. We can't kill him," Eren said when he saw the person in the jar for the first time. He stood for a long time with his eyes fixed on the person."Everything will be easier if he turns into a zombie," I said, standing next to him. I also folded my hands in front of me and played with my beard with one hand.Eren turned to me and nodded. "So, do you have any plans to bring him to your house?"I nodded once, then turned. "I plan to make a healing potion and try it on him. If it works, we can use it to heal the infected."As the number of infected people grew, the government eventually erected a razor fence around the area that had previously been sealed off by removing the uninfected.My hospital was one of the hospitals used to check people coming out of the area. If they hadn't

    After the man fainted, Eren and I lifted him onto the bed in the room. This time, I tied him to the bed in anticipation of the effects. When everything was safe, we left the glass room. But before we left, I looked at the wound on his neck. It wasn't completely gone, but I was sure it was drying up."Are you sure this will work?" Eren asked once we were out of the glass room.I was silent for a moment until I finally nodded firmly. "I'm sure." I took a step, lifting my arms to stretch my body. "I think I should rest for a while.""Is this a subtle eviction?" quipped Eren as he raised an eyebrow. He looked annoyed that he still seemed to want to talk to me."If you want, you can sleep in one of the rooms here," I offered. Ignoring him, I walked out and went up to my room. It was such a relief to have my wand back and to be able to make healing potions.Being too tired and sleepy, I fell asleep as soon as I lay down on my bed. I didn't even care if Eren was home or not.I woke up when i

    After that day, I couldn't see Olivia anymore and Tarron could truly dominate all the territories. Me and some other Hunters hid while making plans. The whole world was already in Tarron's hands. He turned other humans into slaves and also as experimental objects.We always moved around because the Black Hunter was still after us. For several months, I was devastated after Olivia's departure. What about our child in her womb? Did Olivia still keep it or had she already taken its life?I rubbed my face in frustration as memories of our last meeting flashed through my mind. Despite her continuous attacks on me, my inner self always told me that she did it for a reason."When will you return to being the old Leon?" I turned and found Eren standing not far from me. His hands were folded in front of him, and he looked at me with disappointment. "We need our leader, Leon. Stop thinking about Olivia. She has left you!"I could see the despair in his face. It had been more than 3 months since

    I've been in this state for a long time. Just silent, staring blankly ahead. I woke up a while ago, shirtless, with a potion placed on the spot where I was stabbed. When I sat up and the potion fell, the wound on my chest was gone.“Leon! Thank goodness!” I turned towards the door. Eren and Jovian entered, immediately showing relieved expressions. “Your wound is healed?” Eren’s brow furrowed. “It seems your hunter abilities have returned.”I just remained silent and didn't respond to Eren's words. I was still in shock, knowing the truth that Olivia tried to kill me. I couldn't even find a reason why she would do this to me.Eren came closer, a look of awkwardness on his face. “We've been looking for Olivia, but we haven't found her.” He looked very regretful, as if he had made a big mistake. I didn't answer immediately and just stared at him with feelings that were hard to interpret.I had no intention of doing anything. I even lost my will to live now. The person I loved and trusted

    I entered the building where you've been living all this time. I was so worried about Olivia and our child in her belly. But the place was so quiet when I entered.“Olivia! Eren! Jovian!” I searched for them all over the room, even in hidden places, but I couldn't find them.I stood still and tried to concentrate to feel their energy. But I couldn't sense it. I tried to use my telepathic skills. But after a while, no one answered my call.I looked around with a sense of unease. What had happened here while I was gone? I started looking for clues and traces left behind.This place was in disarray, as if a battle had just taken place. From some footprints below, I saw many shoe prints on the floor. I was sure that not just one or two people had come in, but a whole force. My brow furrowed when I saw the bloodstains on the floor. My heart raced when I saw the blood. There were many speculations in my head about whose blood it was.I crouched to examine the blood. It was still sticky and

    "Newt! Use the Happy Spirit Pendant!" At the last moment, I want to try using the pendant I got from Bbird earlier. I was desperate, and it seemed like I was hoping for some luck at this moment.[USING HAPPY SPIRIT PENDANT][CONTINUE?][YES] [NO]Without hesitation, I pressed the 'yes' button. I waited for a moment, but nothing happened. Suddenly, I felt my nose itching, as if I was about to..."Achoo...!" After sneezing, I felt my body slowly shrinking back."What's happening?" I was confused because the effect of the dark elixir suddenly disappeared, and I returned to my original size. "Could it be that the Happy Spirit Pendant doesn't work?""Darn it!" This is not a luck potion but a misfortune potion. With this tiny size, how could I possibly defeat the zombie king? "No!" I shook my head. "I have to stay happy even if I die at the hands of the zombie king."Initially, I felt annoyed, but afterwards, I felt happy as if there was a great reward waiting for me ahead. My heart felt li

    I gasped, staring at the horde of zombies before me. Every time I wiped out one group, another would appear from the other side. I couldn't tell how long I'd been in this room—just constantly hunting, endlessly, it seemed."Only one weapon left to unlock." I glanced at the transparent screen in front of me, focusing on the amount of coins I had. Over 12 million coins, and I'd already maxed out all the weapons I had. "Special Item." I read on the corner, the words stretching and catching my attention.I flinched as a few zombies suddenly floated around me. I quickly shut down the holographic screen in front of me and swung my sword at them. But they dodged quickly.I traded my sword for an arrow. I aimed five arrows simultaneously at them. The arrows sped forward, hitting three of them. I repeated the process again and again.[SHADOW CLOAK UNLOCKED][Can absorb energy from low-level creatures. Can only be used by hunters with magic skills][PRICE 12,000,000 COINS]My jaw dropped at the

    I flinched as my body seemed to be sucked in by something. The scenery before me changed again. I turned my head and found Eliot beside me. I had returned from diving into Eliot's memories. I regulated my laboured breathing, as if from a long journey."That was the end of my life." Eliot broke the silence that had lasted for a while."But how could you die? Shouldn't a hunter's body have the ability to heal itself? And I thought your death seemed very easy."Eliot cleared his throat lightly. "The sword Tarron used to stab me in the heart wasn't just any ordinary sword.""Wasn't that your sword?" I saw clearly when Tarron took Eliot's sword and stabbed him in the chest.Eliot nodded. "It's the Soul Reaper. The sword I got after defeating the zombie king.""Zombie king?" This was the first time I'd heard about a zombie king. I often hunted zombies, but I'd never heard of him."If your hunt is perfect, you can face him. But the reward for that isn't the same. If you defeat him, you might

    "Eliot." I walked towards the river, where a man with long white hair stood in the middle. His feet floated above the water as if his weight was no issue.I was a little startled to be here suddenly. This was one of the places in Smoky Hollow that I often visited. As I recall, I was resting under a large tree. How could I be here all of a sudden?I hesitated as my feet were about to step into the water. However, the hesitation disappeared when I felt something holding my feet from below. With confident strides, I walked closer to Eliot. I stopped when I was right behind him."Come forward! I've been waiting for you." I was surprised because it seemed my presence was expected by him. I stepped forward to be level with him. As I turned, I could see his handsome face with skin as white as snow. Thinking back, this was the first time I could see Eliot's face up close. I wasn't sure if this was a dream or reality, but I could feel a very strong energy."I've been waiting for this moment t

    POV 3"Have you found Leon?" Tarron sat arrogantly in a chair, his back against the backrest, one leg crossed over the other, and his interlocked hands resting on his chest."Not yet, sir." Tarron's sharp gaze pierced Ian, who dared not lift his head. He had deliberately spared Ian's life back then, knowing they were both enemies. He wanted to use Ian to destroy Leon. Now, Ian was one of his trusted men, alongside Rakkan. Fuelled by his vengeance against Leon, Ian learned quickly, acquiring special abilities.After 1000 years of researching the system, Tarron had managed to cheat it. He could add others to become hunters. Since they weren't official hunters, they didn't have companions. Still, they could earn coins and skills like other hunters.Hearing Ian's answer, Tarron's gaze sharpened, his displeasure evident. Knowing Tarron was staring at him unblinking, Ian lowered his head further, his eyes fixed on the tip of his shoes, like a boy who had been caught doing something wrong."

    Point of View 3Tarron descended the moss-covered stone steps leading to an underground chamber, with Ian following closely behind. The air grew colder as they descended further down. The atmosphere was denser than on the surface.Once Tarron's feet reached the bottom, he halted. His eyes immediately focused on an old man inside a giant aquarium. Upon seeing Tarron, the old man, named Calatius, shot him a glare filled with hatred.“Why do you never seem pleased to see me, Calatius?” With a mocking expression, Tarron questioned the man, moving closer until they were only a few metres apart.From where Tarron stood, the creature Calatius was clearly visible. He was a centaur, but all his legs had been severed. His crippled body lay upon a large rock."Why have you come to see me, Tarron? Haven't you taken all my strength?" Despite appearing elderly, Calatius's voice still carried a powerful tone. Even the glass of the aquarium vibrated from his voice."You never change. Yet, that is in
