Jager: The Overpowered Hunter

New Reality

"This is a gift from me to you. Live once more and stop them the right way. We will meet again when you realize who you really are." 

Those words always plagued Adam's mind when he slept. Dreams about the war between Ordog and himself, the ruined city, the dimensional portal in the middle of the city, and the glowing figure of a Paladin he did not recognize. All of those things continued to plague Adam for the rest of his life. 

"Another nightmare?" Someone greeted Adam who was asleep at his desk. 

"Sorry. These dreams have been coming for the past few years. I don't even know what it means." Adam stretched his neck muscles. After that, he drank the coffee he made last night.

"Hey, if you think the dream is related to Ordog's first invasion of Earth, then you've lived for a hundred years. You could be a survivor or a time traveler. But, that's not possible." Jonny; Adam's coworker laughed so hard that he forgot about the glass door in front of him. 

"Ouch!"

"Who moved the door?!"

He was hit by karma. His head hit the glass door. 

Adam was currently in a government office taking care of Jager's administration. Yes, the Jager. They are Ordog hunters. You must be wondering why the timeline jumped to the time when Adam was asleep. It is a hundred years later since Adam fought Gideon. Malachiel used his mysterious runes and brought great changes to the universe. He had clearly broken the rules of the universe. 

Unfortunately, Adam remembered nothing about Malachiel, Gideon, the barren city, and the first Jagers. His mind seemed to be locked. And all the memory files about that time seemed to be in the deepest vault of his brain. 

"Are you going home?" 

"Well, I have to feed Patrick." 

Patrick was her cat. He was inspired by a pink starfish that lived under a rock. Kind of stupid, but cute.

He currently works as an administrator. He takes care of all the paperwork related to new Jagers' enrollment, Jagers' insurance, and their schooling and training. 

This division was formed to make it easier for Jagers to explore the newly opened dimensional portals, or fight off roaming Ordogs. Understandably, a hundred years after the first invasion, the world of Ordog hunters had changed completely. They began to think of Ordogs as petty criminals roaming the city.

"Look at them. The Jagers are amazing. If I could be like them, I'd be very lucky." Adam muttered to himself as he watched the young Jagers waiting for the bus to arrive. 

Once again, Adam was the big loser. He lost his power and his friend. He was just an ordinary guy who worked five days a week. There were no light manipulation techniques. All he had left was to manipulate himself to survive. 

For him, the time altered by Malachiel had already happened for the rest of his life. That is for 25 years. But to Malachiel, time had just passed less than a minute ago. The change in reality happened so quickly and made everything seem different. 

"Hi, Patrick. Did you miss me?" Adam's apartment was not far from where he worked. He hugged his orange cat tightly as he went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. 

A simple quick pasta was served after work. Adam had been eating it every time he came home from work for the past week. He was absolutely in love with pasta. 

"Patrick, come here. There's a live broadcast of the Jagers exploring the dimensional portal." Adam sat down with his favorite cat. He turned on the television and watched a live broadcast about dimensional portal exploration. 

The show was created to educate people that Ordogs were just useless creatures that often appeared as monsters to be killed in games, TV series, and movies. They didn't even know how terrifying the Ordog King was. Everything seemed normal, and the Ordogs even guest-starred on some TV shows. 

"You know, I would love to enter a dimensional portal and hunt down the Ordogs. And then bring home the spoils in the form of energy crystals." Adam was talking to his cat. It was strange, but Patrick was the only creature by his side. 

But just when everything was fine, a portal the size of the first invasion appeared in the city center. This time, it destroyed the national monument again. An extremely loud sound roared from inside the portal. The entire city that was sound asleep that night was forcibly awakened. Many people came out of their houses, apartments, or shops. Everyone ran towards the portal and captured the huge portal with their cell phones. 

"What is that sound?" Adam heard it too. 

"What?! There's a portal in the middle of the city?!" Adam peeked out of the window. The nearly 500-meter-high portal was clearly visible from his room on the twelfth floor.

As he looked at the highway below, many people were running towards the portal. Everyone seemed to be in a hurry. 

"Patrick, we have to see the portal too. Come on!" He picked up his cat and rushed out of his apartment unit. Adam was so excited that he forgot about the pasta he was eating. 

The distance from Adam's apartment to the portal was about a kilometer. It took a lot of effort, but it was worth it. He finally arrived in front of the beautiful portal. But Adam couldn't get any closer. There were barricades set up by Jager's troops. The barricade surrounded the portal area.

"Look, isn't it beautiful? A dimensional portal!" Adam was amazed. His eyes were sparkling. He even took a picture of the dimensional portal with his cell phone. 

Everyone around him was doing the same. Unfortunately, they had no idea what awaited them behind the portal. Although the senior Jagers had gathered with the National Guard, the fear presented by the dimensional portal in front of them seemed different. 

"Don't get too close!"

"Stand back!"

As the Jagers asked all the citizens to move away from the barricade, an attack came from inside the portal. A red laser pierced the body of the Jager who spoke to the citizens. He died with a hole in his stomach. 

Seeing that, the once excited citizens were thrown into chaos. This was the first time a Jager had died right in front of them. Loud shouts and screams echoed among them. Not long after, black-bodied Ordogs wearing armor and carrying black spears appeared from the portal. Their armor was stronger than the weapons or strength of the senior Jagers. 

"Run!" One of the Jagers shouted. 

The citizens were silent as they watched the Ordogs slaughter all the Jagers and government soldiers. 

"This is really crazy!"

"What's going on?!"

"Why is this happening?!"
