[PLAYER HAS REACHED LEVEL 30][HUNTER GAINS ACCESS TO SMOKY HOLLOW][CHOOSE 3 ENTRY POINTS]After that, the names of several regions of the world appeared below the writing. I studied the names carefully. There were two city names in this country: Midtown and Salaros.Midtown was the city I lived in, while Salaros was a small island on the other side of the country. No outsider ever came to the island unless the natives invited them. And so far, no one has been able to get there. The place is so cut off from the outside world that you could even say that civilisation there lags far behind the outside world. There was no electricity, let alone technology.But somehow, I was so interested in this place. It was as if there were many mysterious things to do with magic.After thinking about it for a while, I chose three places to use as entrances to Smoky Hollow. Midtown, Salaros and La Sarlama. La Sarlama itself was a town in the country of Sweania, a small country on the continent of Ati
I sighed tiredly at Sofia's behaviour. Did she think I'd go back to her just because of a threat like that?"Leon! I'm not joking! I mean what I'm saying," Sofia shouted, emphasising the broken glass in her hand. She slowly backed away with a panicked look on her face. "Leon! Aren't you worried about me?"I was casual about Sofia's behaviour, and it probably annoyed her. I didn't even look worried, even though the broken glass had scratched the surface of Sofia's skin and caused a drop of blood."You don't need to get my attention, Sofia. I'm not interested in your drama at all." I was so fed up that I wanted to take a DNA test right away. I want to know whose child is in Sofia's womb.Sofia's face looks shocked. Maybe she didn't expect me to say all this. She even shook her head, as if she couldn't believe I could say such terrible things."You're not the Leon I know!"I rolled both my eyes lazily. "We're two strangers right now, Sofia. Don't talk as if we had a close relationship."
"DOR! DOR! DOR!"A clap sounded after I fired a few rounds at the target in front of me. I immediately lowered the rifle and turned to him."You turned out to be such a good shot. Why don't we organise a hunt together?"I smiled at Mr. Lanston's words. In fact, every bullet I fired hit exactly one target."You're overreacting. You must be better than me."Mr. Lanston laughed at my words. He raised his hand as a sign to ask for the rifle I was holding. I gave him the rifle.This was our first business meeting, but Mr. Lanston invited me to meet him at one of the shooting clubs in Midtown. We had originally met in one of the rooms there to discuss the two companies working together. I came with Olivia and a couple of bodyguards. After we signed the agreement, Olivia went straight back to the office, and Mr. Lanston took me to this arena. Our bodyguards stood guard from a distance."Shooting requires a lot of concentration. So you have to keep your eyes on the target you're shooting at."
I tried to stay focused as the objects kept moving. However, this was too easy for me, as I used my ability so that my eyes could see the objects even though they were moving quickly.After learning the movement pattern of the object in front of me, I confidently fired a single bullet. But my eyes widened when the movement suddenly changed. If it continued like this, I was sure the bullet would hit the man in the head.I turned to Mr. Lanston, and he just smiled wryly, as if mocking me. Was he doing it on purpose?I put off thinking about that. What I needed to do now was stop the bullet from hitting the target. If it's too late, the person might die, and I'll be punished for killing a human.I will use my speed to catch the bullet. As I concentrated, everything seemed to stop. Even the falling leaves seemed to hang in the air. Not wanting to waste any time, I ran towards the bullet and caught it. I immediately squeezed it and threw it in all directions.Then I returned to my original
"So... what about our wish back then?" Jovian opened the conversation after everyone had arrived. And that was the first time I saw other hunters besides Eren, Jovian, and Kasto.Odion, Ghali, and Aden were the names of the three hunters Eren had told me about. The three of them came from three different countries on different continents. Because they were from different races and tribes, none of them looked the same.Odion had tan skin that looked so exotic. In our country, this skin colour is a dream because it looks so sexy. His hair is black, which matches the colour of his eyes. If he lived in Midtown, I'm sure he would be the idol of many women.In contrast to Odion, Ghali's skin is whiter. Perhaps I can say that Ghali's stature is almost similar to ours, except that he has a colour in his eyes that I've never seen in this country. His eyes were green, like emeralds.And the last one was Aden. He had black skin like Jovian, but his stature was smaller than Jovian's. We all spok
I tried to concentrate so that I could confirm where the human energy was coming from. But I couldn't feel it at all."Can you pinpoint the exact location, Newt?"[The energy was fading, Master]I turned and sharpened my vision. I also increased the sensitivity of all my senses. Yet I could not sense the energy of anyone around me. I shook my head gently, feeling annoyed and disappointed. I was really curious about the energy Newt had just mentioned, and I was sure there were other people around besides me."Is it possible that someone like Michele entered Smoky Hollow by mistake?" But I'm sure if there wasn't a leak back then, I'd dealt with it completely.I snorted harshly. I had to start hunting again, to increase my level and skills. I continued my journey in an uncertain direction. Every time I met a creature, I would hunt it down.But in the middle of the hunt, I felt an evil energy approaching. Not long after, I heard a warning from Newt.[The creature's energy is approaching,
"Leon!" I was instantly relieved when the man removed his arm from my neck. I coughed, taking in as much air as I could. When I turned my head, a hand was stretched out in front of me. I looked up to see Jovian standing in front of me.I took the hand immediately and stood up with Jovian's help. He hugged me as soon as I got up. His big hands patted my back a few times before letting go."Thank God we can finally meet." He looked so relieved. I hadn't expected him to smile at me, even though he had always been the most sadistic person towards me.After a moment of stunned silence, I returned the smile. "I'm also relieved that it's you, Jo. But how could you appear behind me when I felt your energy behind that tree?"I pointed at the big tree I was aiming at. Jovian just laughed at my confusion."I have the ability to disrupt the ability of any person or object to record my presence. Cameras cannot capture my image without my permission because I can dull the energy and also blur the s
"What did they say to treat us like this, Leon?" Jovian looked annoyed as we had to keep walking like prisoners of war. We shuffled along because our hands were tied and our balance was a little off.One centaur walked ahead of us, the one who spoke earlier. The other centaurs walked beside and behind us. We really were like prisoners who had lost the war.I tried to break free, but the bond was too strong. I even tried to use magic, but it was as if something was blocking it, so I couldn't use it.Damn it! I was probably the most annoyed of the two of us."We've entered the forbidden forest, so we have to accept the punishment." I briefly explained why we were being treated like this."Forbidden forest? What do you mean, and what kind of punishment will we get?" Jovian asked again, with a confused face.But I just shrugged, because I didn't know exactly what would happen to us either. I even called out to Newt several times, but he didn't answer at all. What's going on? Even the syst
