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
MONSTER HUNTING The Information Echelon
Nope. They're not budging."No, please let me in! My force was stolen by him! That monster! There's no other way he has my signatures and had shape shifted into someone specific from my memories! I need my force back!" Even with the amount of pleading done to the guards, there was no use. They pushed me and Charlize back into the corridor."There's no use in bargaining, Dane. We have to do something serious." Looking to either sides, she made sure we didn't have another listener stepping into our bubble, hence exposing our delicate plan."You see how these guards are loyal to the echelon?""Yeah. And they're tough. They wouldn't go about with reason.""That's why...we need a plan. I'll ask Lady Athena if she can help us with anything. Anything, is what we need right now.""Right. We're helpless shits in this Guild." Going back to our common hall, passing by the residential tomb of ours, we make it into the garden. We sit under the blue blossom, which was starting to wither intensely
MONSTER HUNTING The Force is back within me!
"Liz...what is going on?" My voice is shaky as I ask. In front of me in a cylinder with blue lights glowing beneath her feet, was Ruth's monster transformation."Is she alive, Liz?" "I don't think so. She must be a sample brought to test, as per usual.""As per usual?" I was confused by her words."Yes. The spies bring in samples for the echelon to work on, find something new in research about monsters. But no new information was passed down to us ever. It's been the same since three hard centuries, Dane.""Three centuries...and no progress made? Something is definitely wrong with the echelon. Who's the head of research. I hope it isn't Dr. Chen.""Master Chen is a member — well, was a member.""Why is it in past tense?""Because she failed to derive a conclusion over monsters three and a half centuries ago." Oh, now I needed to know more about her failure. I don't think Dr. Chen has changed even a bit. Considering how she never makes a mistake (a hypothesis) the failure might just b
MONSTER HUNTING How to escape the Guild 101
Rejoicing the return of my monstrous powers, I gave the air a smirk. It felt good having some powers within me, like everything in my body was growing back to health.'Tch. You lost your leg in battle? Already?' "Yeah, I did. Because someone stole you from me, monsters have taken a liking to my leg and feasted on it. You should've seen the scene, my friend."'Oi, who is your friend?'"You, obviously." "Ahem." I stop my conversation with my force, turning my gaze up to a hand that is against my face."Trust me more in the future, will you?" Athena had said and I couldn't help but chuckle. Yes, I should start trusting my comrades a little more. Starting now."Where do we go now?" Charlize asks, for which we had an obvious answer."Earth, Charlize. Earth."Alright. The inner ring security wasn't something which I've expected when she warned me about 6 meter tall Jade statues wandering around aimlessly. Protecting the Guild from breaching."How the hell did that monster cross through su
MONSTER HUNTING Without our master
We have been falling. It was like the departure was carried out in slow motion. Charlize extended her hand out and screamed Athena's name. Master Athena...her body was burning brutally. The poison was consuming her, the cloud around her filling with smoke. However, the demonic humanoid structure was slayed by her half-conscious state. It was a wreck, even for me.Suddenly, the feeling had returned.Dimensional transference. "Dane! Do not drift away!" She screamed in the fraction of the second left for us to land on earth.The vortex was unstable for some reason. And as we met the ground, the damp soil underneath our feet, we watched the vortex collapse with a bang.I tucked my head with my arms, watching white dust and glitter cover us up as the portal has been degenerated over our heads.Through sparkling material, I turned around, watching out for any danger or a predatory animal in this subcontinent.Looks like he landed in the safest place possible, away from monsters. We wer
MONSTER HUNTING Your power that scares you
How could this be true?It seems so unreal."Dane, you couldn't grasp how strong you've grown because of the Guild. Must be the difference in terrains which makes you feel this way. It's alright." She's right. Charlize knows the difference between the atmosphere of the Guild and earth. The main reason was that, Guild atmosphere is extremely competitive. I never felt the difference in my power amongst such good warriors. It was a dream, which ended all too well and quickly."Are you alright, Dane?" Holding my arm, Charlize asks as I nod softly."I'm fine, I am. It's just overwhelming." "Are you...sure you're not a monster yourself, sir?" The African dude suddenly asks, seeming scared and witless as he approaches us."I'm not. But did you even wipe your ass, Mister? Roaming around like that?""I did. With a leaf." "Huh. While we were fighting the monster?" Charlize was skeptical, so was I. "I am a clean pooper. But, moving on, I think the coast is nearby sir." I lift my eyebrow at h
