MONSTER HUNTING The Radge Hawker Guild
~Dane~My body felt the jolt of the force. The pressure of atmosphere changes, because I was changing worlds. Realms. And something more sinister which awaits for me at the Guild is what I ultimately feel.With half of the skin over my shoulder and limbs gone, I screamed in horror. I didn't feel a shred of pain! What is this sorcery!?"Thank your beast for ensuring your physical safety, Artemas." Dr. Chen said to me, but I didn't pay heed to her notice. Why should I? She's being a total dick, and I know why too.But couldn't she grasp the grief of my heart!?I lost so many people important to me!Ruth, my parents.And I haven't even had the opportunity to listen their last words for me as a memory.But...she was right with one point.I was tired of them, true. But I loved them with the same heart that didn't like them, too.It's complicated. "Don't hurt your head thinking so much about relationships, Dane. It wasn't your dream at all." Charlize suddenly spoke from beside me. "Do
MONSTER HUNTING Athena
Someone was trying to pull me back from defending myself. I turn around, accidentally transferring my anger filled gaze to poor Charlize who was just trying to keep me under control. From verbally abusing a woman. "She's stronger than you can ever imagine, but weak in the mind. It's better that we leave her alone." I furrowed my eyebrows. If she was so weak, might as well get wrecked by my words and learn a lesson too. "Tsk! Dane, let's go." I threw the dirtiest gaze from within my heart to the woman who called me the weakest. I don't know if it was her strategy to rile me up, make me stronger, but it definitely did it's thing.And now, I want to show her who was more powerful."Why'd you pull me away!? If she couldn't take words back to her heart, I would be winning another type of fight with her!" I exclaimed, but Charlize tells me something else about this mysterious woman. That she is someone way too powerful, and her heredity was celebrated."Remember who I told you is the one
MONSTER HUNTING The Duel
It's been three weeks according to my human calender, that I've lost the force from my heart. And I've never felt much happier.I couldn't live freely knowing that some entity is in control of me. But now, I'm simply living my life to the fullest. That experience includes training with rookies everyday, coming to the hot springs to simply chill, making friends and foes alike (but I'm a bit inclined into making foes more than friends in the Guild. And I wonder who's having prejudices now).Charlize was just trying to help me get better, but I can't deny the immediate fact which follows with a male and female trying to do their best, together. She was being a good master, and I was being a great student myself. I'm not trying to boast, but I'm doing exactly that. "Liz," I looked at my master chilling in the other pond, turned away from me. "Call me master Liz, Dane. We talked about this." "Whatever. But, should I fight Athena tonight?" With the smug-est of smiles on my face, I ask
MONSTER HUNTING Epiphany
It feels so wrong to be humbled by someone who you think cannot humble you enough. One strike, one bloody strike from her base power...and I'm already bedridden for three more weeks.Meanwhile, many rookies have graduated to Tier 2. There were many who passed the duel matches and have claimed their status gracefully. Everyone from my circle...except for me. My elbow was over my forehead, and I kept staring at the ceiling above me. It was a thatched space, a small room dedicated for healing. Healing of helpless Radge Hawkers like myself. Without the force...I'm seen as indifferent here. The immortals look down on me. But I've been bearing the indifference gracefully. Or so I thought."Yes, he is the one." Said an attending medical examiner for my case. They don't have doctors around here, because the force that stays with you for your life is supposed to heal you up at Godspeed. Even if you lose a limb, the force shall heal you to your best health and state. "Pft! I'm glad I missed
MONSTER HUNTING New Master
"Aren't you too slow to notice me, Master?" Well, that's the reaction I expect from my criticizing audience. The gasps they let out when my after shadow disappeared in front of Athena were filling my ears and my heart. I loved this audience, but they might change sides soon."He...produced an after shadow already?" I smirked, bringing my hand down. Athena turned around, only to find me bowing down to her in a ninety degree angle. To show my utmost respect to my new master."I hope I am capable of your time now, Master Athena." "Yes, you are." The crowd was dispersing, and the high of the win was slowly melting away from my heart. Looking around myself, I catch the sight of my previous master hanging down from the same tree."How did it feel?" The Hawker had said, but I couldn't help but lend my hand up for a high-five with her. "Felt like real victory, Liz! I'm so glad you taught me that trick! I could use it with the monsters that you told me about!""The conscious ones!? Yes!
MONSTER HUNTING Bitterness
Some Radge Hawker I've chosen to become...With a scoff on my heart, I pierce the tip of my sword into the corpse of the monster beneath me. The tip flows into the ground, giving me enough support as a pillar to lean on to.I am not going to die here, on earth, with my face or my back hitting the soil. Drenched in the blood of monsters. No. I cannot consider myself a casualty amongst four hundred and eighty-six million human-monsters and their victims. I am a Radge Hawker now. Tier 1.Am I not?Heck! I haven't even been promoted to Tier 2 yet!The sun was rising to my side, but I had no energy to even look at the red ball of fire in it's glory. I cannot glare at it for rising so slowly, it was irritating me. Ruth...our story was one amongst them too, right? You turned into a monster and fought me until your own best friend had to snatch the very life force away from you.Wait...Force?Every Radge Hawker around me, or so I can feel, is alive and moving around to ensure all 486 milli
MONSTER HUNTING Monsters are evolving
The immediate evening, I come down to Training ground B-32D. The venue was teeming with new audience, and I wondered why. However, I see grief written in most Radge Hawkers' faces. It's as if they have let go of their will to fight at all.But something has been pushing them to continue being a Radge Hawker. However, I didn't expect their reason for continuing their will and Force to be a Radge Hawker...to be me."Seems like you're their new hero now, Artemas." In a low voice, trying not to have the conversation with the audience but just me, Master Athena had complimented me yet again. "Thank you, Master Athena." I was walking around the rink to get to my position, as she gets to hers. "I have heard from the others, that you've slain more than five million monsters by yourself in two nights." Said I, reading the statistics out to the woman."Five million, eighty thousand and sixty three monsters, yes. But I am not ashamed to tell you this, that you have far greater stamina than me
MONSTER HUNTING I'm going places
We haven't found the monster. The word was spread around only with Tier 3 Radge Hawkers. For an obvious reason, not all Tier 3 Radge Hawkers were trusted enough to find the monster that has probably blend within the members of the Guild.The three Tier 3 Radge Hawkers, because of whom the grave inception had begun, were under critical investigation.The Guild wasn't made up of just Radge Hawkers of tiers and one leader - who doesn't even act as a leader for name sake. There are several rows and ranks to people running the Guild.Firstly, there is an information gathering echelon working day and night as spies for the Guild. They are allowed to travel back and forth from the Guild to human realm, on earth, by their wish.Unlike us Radge Hawkers who are allowed to descend down to earth only in case of monster appearing and threatening humanity. But here's the catch.Out of nowhere, the information squad has been reduced in numbers.The echelon was slashed off by 60% even since I joined
