Omnix: Celestial system Chapter 17: Supreme Solstice
The sound of swords cutting flesh, and the sound of heads being ripped off by monsters could be heard, and the smell of blood and gore filled everywhere, this place could have been said to be a battlefield, except the battle was between just twelve Hunters and a horde of monsters, so it could almost be said to be a one-sided massacre. "Retreat!" The voice of Mr. Jack could be heard calling out to the rest of the Hunters, as the monsters were just too many and couldn't be dealt with head-on by just a couple of Hunters; that would be suicide. If they were going to win this thing, they needed a solid plan and fast. "Everyone, head towards that cave." Mr Jack shouted as he pointed towards a cave a couple of feet away from where they were fighting. The rest of the Hunters yielded his call and started running toward the cave while still fending off the monsters. "Ah! No, no!" A Hunter screamed as he was dragged by a monster while running before being torn to pieces by its mates. "
Omnix: Celestial system Chapter 18: Abnormal E-ranker
The Hunters couldn't believe their eyes, as they watched the lone figure battle the monster. "Just who could that be?" They all thought. All members were accounted for, including the dead, so just who was that? But they never knew the so-called E-rank they brought in was the one fighting against a King tier monster. Even though they were watching from afar, those attacks were so ferocious they sent shivers down their spine. However, that man was effectively evading all the attacks and even seemed to have the upper hand, as he was getting closer to the monster and posing more threats to it. As everyone was wondering who that was, Sir Jack quickly made use of the eye lens piece attached to the helmet and zoomed in on the fight. "Huh!" He let out a gasp, not believing the face that showed in his lenses. It was that of the E-rank Hunter, he had hired. Jack felt his brain shut down for the slightest second, as he couldn't believe the smooth and efficient movements coming from
Omnix: Celestial system Weird.
Sharp gazes Tense breaths Expectant hearts. The rest of the Hunters, who had also arrived, looked and held their breaths, in tense expectation of a fight that was supposed to be between an E-rank Hunter and a B-rank Hunter. But could Hal, the E-rank Hunter, actually be called one? Considering the level of skill he showed against the boss monster, which made him seem unfazed, fighting against Sir Jack was a B-rank Hunter with years of experience. But that wasn't true. Hal was thinking of how he was going to combat a B-rank Hunter with years of experience under the belt and proficient use of the Katana blades, with nothing but a pair of daggers. Hal's grip on his daggers tightened. The air between them was charged with something unspoken yet unmistakably dangerous. Sir Jack stood firm, katana still humming from the force of his swing, his eyes locked onto Hal like a predator sizing its prey. The breeze settled, but the weight of the moment did not. Hal’s heart pounded, not
Omnix: Celestial system Chapter 18 B: Just do it.
Author's note: Sorry guys, there was a mix-up in the release of chapters 17 and 18. Readers are advised to read this chapter immediately after chapter 18, for a better clarification. Thanks for your understanding {^_°}. 'The exoskeleton looks pretty tough...can my dagger even damage it?' Quite obviously, a dagger would have a lesser effect on such a carapace than a longsword, which Hal used before. So, if he wanted to cause a deep wound, he needed to strengthen his attack. With that thought, he returned the dual-blade Mystic to his inventory and summoned the daggers he got from his fight against the boss monster of the rank D dungeon. Hal calmly summoned the 'Steel Talons of Kaisan Lycan.' Swish! It appeared in his hands like it had always been there. "Steel." That was what Hal chose to call the dagger. The reason why he chose to use this dagger was because it was of a higher class than Mystic, hence; it was more durable. Hal took deep breaths as he ran towards t
Omnix: Celestial system Chapter 20: Close shave
As he was about to start talking, the dungeon started shaking, which indicated that the ten-minute lapse time had been completed, and it was now time for the return gate to appear. Explain yourself probably, now, or else I will put you down!" He increased his strength on the Katana, to put some action to his words. "Ok, sir. So as I was saying, I am an E-rank Hunter, or should I say was, as I have been reawakened!" "Huh? You were reawakened? Pfft!" It seemed like my story didn't appeal to Sir Jack, which meant I needed to add more spice to make it more appealing. "Well, the thing is, I just got reawakened a few weeks back during a raid with my squad that went wrong. You must have had it, right?" "No, I didn't!" Sir Jack was serious now and twisted his blades in a fast and weird way that sent his daggers flying, and quickly pointed the tip of the sword to his neck. "I don't have time for this, so you better give me a good reason not to drop you now." He said with a mean loo
Omnix: Celestial system Chapter 21: Blessed
Only after Jack was satisfied did he let him go. Davies took a step back after being released from the hands of whom he now considered a brutal weirdo. 'I mean why would anyone get so angry over such? All because I didn't know the name of an E-rank Hunter, an E-rank for god's sake!' He thought as he smoothened his clothes. "How am I to contact you when I do get the name, sir?" He asked. "Of course by collecting my contact!" Jack replied. "Here." He passed his contact card to Davies, who collected it, closed his case file, and hurriedly left with a bow. He and his car left as quickly as they came. As soon as he left, Jack looked in the direction of Hal, and as if by a magical connection, Hal also looked and their eyes met, and stayed locked for a moment, Hal smirked before walking up to him. "What do you want?" Jack asked as soon as he got close to him. "My reward as per the agreement of our deal," Hal said coolly. "Huh." Sir Jack grunted, but still brought out hi
Omnix: Celestial system Chapter 22: Happy Birthday!
It has been two days since the incident at the C-ranked gate. Today was the first day of June, which meant they just entered a new month. But to Hal, it wasn't because it was a new month that made it special to him, no, it was because today was a special day for his little sister. Today was her birthday, and she was going to be 17 years of age; today, it was per the course that Hal had woken up extremely early today, to make preparations for the celebration of her birthday. As he stood, making meatballs by the slab in the kitchen, the lady of the day, his little sister came into the sitting room. As soon as she entered, she began sniffing around while rubbing her eyes from sleep. "Huh? What's this?" She asked groggily. "Happy birthday!" Hal excitedly shouted. "Huh?" Bethany was shocked and stood rooted to the spot. She couldn't believe her eyes, the whole room was decorated with birthday ribbons and balloons. Her brother Hal was even putting on a blue cone-shaped cap
Omnix: Celestial system Chapter 23: Shopping spree
Mr. Heights walked up to him with a slight smile and a look of surprise on his face. A young youth was with him, putting on a smug expression. "Hal? Wow, I'm surprised to see you." "The feeling isn't mutual, sir." "What!" Mr. Heights was surprised but quickly shook it off. "It's good to see you doing well, you know I never thought you were going to make it back then, in the Dungeon, but you proved me wrong." "Yh. I was lucky." Hal replied. "Who is he, anyway?" The youth standing beside Mr.Height's blatantly. "Oh, sorry. Hal this is Leon, a B-rank Hunter..." The guy's shoulders were raised a little higher, and the smug expression on his face became more distinct at the mention of his rank as a Hunter. "...Leon this is Hal, an E-rank Hunter..." As soon as Mr. Heights was finished talking, Leon walked up to Hal and stood in front of him, probably meaning to bully him with his stature, but he wasn't successful as Hal was taller than him, although he appeared huge.

Chapter 35: Sir Jack POV
"I can sense you, so there is no need to hide." Sir Jack's voice echoed through the passage.He stood in the middle of the passage, his stance vigilant, Katana at the ready, as he searched for the other B-rank Hunter, William Farrell.{1} He knew he had probably activated the stealth mode of the suit, which meant he must be close by.Sir Jack, who had a strong sense of justice, was very annoyed when he found out the plot of the so-called Hunter from the Monitoring Division of the Organization.He had taken it upon himself to correct this misconduct, by taking down Farrell and bringing him to justice."Oh, are you that eager to meet your death?" The voice of William echoed through the passage in a low dry chuckle."We'll see who will be meeting their end today." Replied Sir Jack and took a step forward, but as soon as he carried his leg, an iron claw came sweeping out of nowhere, its tips glinting fiercely as it drew a sharp arc in the air. Its destination? Sir Jack's neck.Sir Jack's
Chapter 34: Kill or be killed.
Tti-ring! [Emergency Quest: Kill All the Enemies!] Lifeforms are holding murderous intent against the 'Astravor.' Kill them all to secure your safety. If you don't follow this instruction, a corresponding penalty will be given. [The number of enemies left to kill: 4] [The number of killed enemies: 0] Hal's pulse quickened. "Emergency quest?" This was new. He had received system notifications before—usually cryptic or unreadable—but this one was different. It was clear. And the way it was issued... A penalty if I don’t comply? The weight of it pressed down on him. This wasn’t a simple suggestion from the system. It was a direct order. But apart from that, there was the other thing.... 'Wait up. The words are clear this time around? What changed?' Hal thought. The first time he had seen something like that, it was written in gibberish and he had no idea what it was then, neither did he now. What could an 'Astravor' have meant? He had no idea, but he was going to put
Chapter 33: Beast weapon
The weapons that were used by Hunters to hunt monsters in the dungeons were called Beast weapons. They were made from the materials and pieces of the monsters themselves, as normal weapons could do little to no harm at all against the monsters. This was the case when Gates first appeared on Earth. The ammunition and weapons present on earth were not effective against those monsters, so someone came up with the idea of using their body parts to create weapons after a particular incident where someone had used the tooth of a Saber to kill a monster. From then on, humans started creating weapons made from the materials of the monsters themselves. But that wasn't where he was going. The point he wanted to hit was that, some weapons could create magical energies, and they were gotten only from magical monsters ranked King tier and above. When one had such a weapon, one could create a flame of fire, a ball of ice, and even summon lightning; a lot of things were possible with such we
Chapter 32: Goblins
Goblins were the main enemies of this dungeon. They were the weakest of all humanoid-type monsters out there and usually ranged from the Basic Tier to the Mutant Tier, with only a few exceptions of Advance Tier. So clearing this dungeon was particularly easy. "Kiieeeehk! !" "Kiiiuuicck! !" These strange-looking creatures were weak enough for Hal to fight one-on-one with before he even got his power boost. Still, Hal did his utmost best to carefully hunt Goblins with his bare hands. "Keeuk!" "Kiieeeehk!" When displaying such high combat prowess, both Sir Jack and Mr. Heights formed different expressions. For Sir Jack, it was a narrowing of the eye and a face that no longer held any doubt about a certain issue. For Mr. Heights, it was a face of disbelief. The skill shown by Hal exceeded his expectations. He just couldn't wrap his head around how an E-rank Hunter whom he used to know become so strong that he was giving him the chills. 'Scary..... really scary!' He t
Chapter 31: Re-Convicts
"Ouch!" Hal rubbed his head with one hand with a pained look on his face."Oh, sorry. Are you alright?" Freya asked again."Yes, yes. I'm fine." Hal said as he threw a stern look at Sir Jack, who also threw his head away in another direction as if oblivious to what he had done. Freya removed her hands from Hally's own and said with more emotion in her voice... "I'm so glad you made it, you have no idea how worried I was. Whenever I heard of a raid going down, I always came to the venue, not to participate in the raid, but in the hopes of seeing you." "What? Did you quit being a Hunter?" Hal was very surprised and couldn't hide it."Well, yh. After the situation that happened during our last raid together, I decided to quit. I mean, of what use is a healer-type Hunter who can't help her comrades when they need it the most?" She said with heads down, her face one of sorrow and regret."Oh, Freya, you didn't.....""Ouch, ouch! Hot! It's hot, I say." Both the gazes of Hal and Freya sh
Chapter 30: Loose feelings
The two men arrived at the meeting place, but Hal got there earlier than Sir Jack. The Gate had spawned in the middle of the road pretty close to residential areas, so the police officers called in to control the access to the location. However, there were only a few onlookers present. The majority of Gates the Organization took on were those dangerous ones that had been left alone for too long after their initial discovery. It was only a couple of curious, naughty kids, that loitered around, who got chased away by the officer every now and then. "Please show me your IDs." Sir Jack pulled out his wallet and displayed his ID. "I'm Jack Spencer, a B-rank Hunter, and this young man here is ....well, a colleague." He said while looking away from Hal. The cops checked the face on the ID to see if it matched the face of Sir Jack and, after confirmation, returned the card to him. "Sorry for the inconvenience, sir; you are good to go." "Yh, yh," Jack replied hurriedly and
Chapter 29: Chance!
A few days went by without any incident. Hal waited patiently for a call from the MHO but received none. However, he couldn't just wait and do nothing while waiting for the team to form, so he accessed the website for Hunters today as well. He asked around, dropping memos of his need to different freelancer Hunters, but received no reply. No one wanted to freely participate in a raid with an E-rank Hunter, except they were in a tight spot and needed a Hunter urgently to cover up the Hunter tally needed to tackle a dungeon. The same was the case with the last dungeon he raided with Sir Jack's team. They were simply in need of a Hunter to fill in the gap. 'Thanks to that, I made a lot of money, my levels went up, and I even got a new skill, too.' Should he feel grateful to Sir Jack, in that case? Hal let off a smirk 'Nah.' It was through his strength that he was able to gain all that, Sir Jack wouldn't originally have made him even kill a monster, not to talk of gaining loot
Chapter 28: Demon's Hellspawn (2)
It'd be easy to go mad from pain and wildly trash about, but that would mean losing the opportunity of proximity with the Cerberus, so Hal stayed his hand in pain, as he waited for the end of the three minutes to come, and it was almost here. '....178, 178, 180!' As soon as the timer in his head went off, Hal called on the system and finally revealed his hidden trump card. 'Collect the first reward, now!' He immediately collected the first reward from the daily quest, he had saved up until now. [Reward 1: 'Full recovery of the current physical condition' has been applied.] Swoosh! A blue light enveloped him and all depleted health reverted to their normal state. [HP: 500/500] Even his tattered left arm was good as new, in the blink of an eye. Hal didn't waste time in making his move, this was his chance, he thought. His eyes gleamed coldly as he reached out a hand and gripped the second neck of the Cerberus before stabbing his dagger right in the middle of its he
Chapter 27: Hell's Gatekeeper
Chapter 27Crackle! Pop!The closer Hal got to the burning tower, High Aflame as he chose to call it, the louder the noise of flames rampaging around grew."Can I even enter this thing in the first place?"While still in the thought of his chances of entering into that flaming building, Hal got near the entrance, but quickly came to a halt, as he sensed a strong aura near the entrance.'Mm?' He slowly surveyed his surroundings and spotted a black lifeform the size of a bull huddled in a slumber right in front of the doorway. Hal carefully summoned his dagger Steel. He walked as quietly as possible while approaching that creature. However, it was impossible to fool the olfactory sense of a monster. Soon enough, the creature sniffed the air, and its heads were raised in alarm.'Tsk tsk.' Hal clicked his tongue. The creature raised its body, fully standing, all its three heads turned towards Hal. [Hell's Gatekeeper, Cerberus] It was a huge dog possessing three heads. The name wri
