Omnix: Celestial system 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
Omnix: Celestial system 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
Omnix: Celestial system 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
Omnix: Celestial system 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
Omnix: Celestial system 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
Omnix: Celestial system 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
Omnix: Celestial system Chapter 36: Refined Brutality
The Convicts stood there, motionless, mouth agape, brewing in anger. They felt like someone had hit them on the head. The bastard claimed to be E-rank, but displayed abilities that spoke otherwise. "Ahh, I'm going to kill this guy!" The guy who had winked at Freya earlier, screamed as he ran in at a blistering speed, the rough edges of his blade glinting. Hal stood motionless, his breathing steady, his gaze sharp, unreadable, but unconcerned. The Convict lunged at Hal, a flurry of strikes aimed for his chest and head. Hal evaded each attack, his movement swift, each step calculated. Although his suit was that of an E-rank and the Convicts own a C-rank, Hal could still avoid all his attacks, and had a better reflex, because his strength was no longer based on just the abilities granted by the suit, but it came directly from his body. All those daily exercises were paying off. It had basically increased his Latent Talent, making him more versatile, durable, faster and stronger
Omnix: Celestial system Chapter 37: Unstoppable Farrell
Boom!The underground passage shook violently as a deafening explosion echoed through the space. Chunks of rock and debris rained down, a thick cloud of dust filling the air. Amid the chaos, two figures clashed in a brutal, high-speed battle.Sir Jack Spencer and William Farrell.Locked in fierce combat, the two warriors exchanged devastating blows, but it was clear—Sir Jack was losing. Badly.“Ahh!” Sir Jack roared, his body twisting midair as he clashed once again with William. Their gazes were sharp, unwavering, and neither willing to back down.Sir Jack lashed out with a sharp jab aimed at William’s chest. But William caught his wrist effortlessly, a wicked grin spreading across his face as he twisted.Snap!A sickening crack echoed as the bones in Sir Jack’s wrist snapped, piercing through his skin.“AAARGH!” Sir Jack howled, pain surging through his arm. Desperate, he swung with his other hand, aiming for William’s jaw.But once again—William caught it.With a sadistic chuckle,

Part 1: The Hunters GuildThe Hunters Guilds are an organized group of Hunters formed for the sole purpose of raiding Gates; they were just like the mercenaries of the Iron Age._They are legally recognized and regulated by the MHO and provide support in dealing with Gates that the MHO can't deal with or is too busy with.__They are often led by High-ranking Hunters and backed by wealthy investors or influential organizations.To form a Guild, certain conditions had to be met, such as having an A-rank or higher Hunter as the Guild master and securing financial backing.__After that, one would wait for the MHO to approve it, and if approved, one would proceed with the other requirements that included but were not limited to, receiving a license from the Organization themselves, which allowed them to raid Gates, recruit members, and earn profit. __The Guilds were also expected to pay taxes to the Organization, which was usually a percentage of the loot or dungeon profits.__They were a
Chapter 51: Finding Clues.
After raiding Gates for three days straight, and completing each daily Quest, Hal's Stat had gone up by a lot, he had gained additional skill, and even his Level and HP were not left behind, coupled with the new increase in Class, even his Life Force, which was the amount at which he could utilize the suit to absorb Qi, now read 40%, indicating that he only needed about 16% to move up the next Class. "Hmm, it feels good to know I'm getting stronger each day." Hal clenched his fist, and the corners of his lips slightly turned up. The System as mysterious as it was, was truthfully and successfully doing what it had promised him at the start of their journey together. It was indeed making him stronger, issuing Daily Quest and Special Quest as missions and racking up XP'S that gradually changed the core of his being, making him strong without even having to rely on the Teknovo T-71 suit that other Hunters used. It had made him a raw powerhouse. "Thank you, dear system, for this grea
Chapter 50: Leon's threat
Ding! The elevator stopped at the eighth floor; the doors opened to a passage with tainted cream walls and several brown doors. "I don't like the course, but the guy who teaches it is just superb; he makes me want to attend his classes." The voice of Bethany could be heard coming out from the elevator, as she struggled to hide the excitement in her voice. Perhaps the guy she was talking about was one cool dude who knew how to woo young girls with his charms, Hal thought, but he wasn't bothered; he knew Bethany wouldn't be easily fooled by such things; she was a young lady with a strong ideal. As they exited the elevator, Hal's phone suddenly vibrated from its place in his pocket. 'Hmm, who could it be?' Hal thought as he reached out and grabbed the phone. He wasn't expecting any calls from anyone; there were only a few numbers on his contact list, so he hardly got any calls. He was sure it couldn't be Sir Jack as he had just dropped him off some while ago, so it couldn't be hi
Chapter 49: Situations
Yes!" Hal clenched his fist in joy; the bottleneck had finally been broken, and he was now a full-fledged B-rank Hunter. Inside the cave. Amidst the pieces of molten rocks, there was a ruby-colored crystal, which was the crystal dropped by the dead monster. A hand reached out to it and grabbed it, holding it for a few moments before throwing it up. "Ouch, ouch, it's hot!" Sir Jack screamed as he kept throwing the crystal up, exchanging from one hand to the other, to bear the hotness. After some while, he stopped throwing it and held it firmly. Apparently, the crystal was now cold. "Hal, why are you grinning like a high school boy in love?" He asked Hal with a quite serious voice, why scrutinizing the crystal in his hand. "Oh, was I? Umm, nevermind." Hal replied a bit embarrassed. He was so happy when he heard the announcement of his leveling up and became so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't spare the outside world a thought. "What is it?" Whether Sir Jack
Chapter 48: Breakthrough.
As soon as he said those words, a brownish-white short sword, which was clearly made from bone, appeared in his hand, and true to its name, it had a rough, jagged mouth with a curved hilt. It was a short sword so it was slightly longer than his dagger, but he guessed it would suffice. He was even glad he got it, it was extremely rare for monsters to drop weapons, apart from those from the dungeon raid issued by the system, which Hal suspected were monsters that had been specially picked by the system, so they had a higher chance of dropping weapons and other items. Apart from that, it was extremely rare to see a monster dropping weapons. Not to mention, the fact that he now had an extra weapon to couple with his dagger Steel. Well, that's that, he'd better get moving, Hal thought and with that thought left the area in a zoom to meet up with Sir Jack. Hal met up with Sir Jack and they left the Gate shortly afterwards to head towards the next Gate. It was two Gates per da
Chapter 47: Bone sword
The First Day. Crack! A serpent-like creature with jagged bone armor flew backward, its head twisted unnaturally. Hal landed on his feet exhaling as the body of the large Wisp Serpentine boss monster crashed into the cracked floor of the dungeon. Purple blood flowed out of the deep gash on its head and spread around the surface of the floor, tainting it a deep purple color. "Hmm... I'm really starting to get jealous." Sir Jack said from his position at the entrance to the cave. "It's still not enough, sir." Hal retorted coldly. "What," Sir Jack pushed his body off the wall of the cave where it had been resting and walked towards Hal, "You just killed a King-tier monster in two minutes; that's quite an achievement if you ask me." He said with a serious expression trying his best to cheer Hal up. Hal didn't say anything for some time but focused his gaze on his daggers as he wiped purple blood off them. Then, after some while,, he said, "Motivational speech really isn'

As soon as they had entered the Gate, the Hunter who was also a alcoholic stood to his feet, unsteady.Shaking as he struggled to find his balance, with the bottle of beer in hand."Do you guy's know, that you've all tied your future to a tag of amateurs?" He said, his voice surprisingly clear for a drunk."Yeah, you're right." Another person voiced his thought in agreement to the alcoholic."Hahaha, and yet you agreed to the deal, fool." The alcoholic mocked the other guy, as if he had not also signed the contract."But you also did." The other guy retorted.The conversation between the both people opened the floodgate of words from the remaining Hunters. Everyone began speaking their minds now."What will happen if those two get killed inside the dungeon?""Will that mean we wouldn't receive our pay, and would have just wasted our time coming here?""Ahh, why did I even agree to the deal, I should have known they were nothing but a set of amateurs !""Hey, wait, those anyone knows t
Chapter 45: The Plan (1)
Next morning.Hal went downstairs after receiving the phone call, only to find a huge van parked outside.".... ? !" Even before he could say, "Who in the name of the Blights do you think you are?", the driver's window rolled down automatically. And the smug smiling face peeking out from behind belonged to...Sir Jack."Come on in, Hal!" He said rather enthusiastically.Sir Jack stuck his hand out the open window and slapped the side of the van like it was an old-time friend.He was putting on black tinted sunglasses, and his long hair, which was usually rolled up in a bun, was loose, flowing down his neck and resting on his shoulders.Apart from the fact that he was in his Hunters get-up, the man looked like he was going to a relaxation spot rather than a dungeon raid, carrying around him a fresh vibe as he flashed a one-sided grin towards Hal.He radiated a casual, breezy confidence.After scrutinizing both the van and its owner, Hal walked to the other side and climbed into the fro
Chapter 44: The invite and the plan.
The distance between Sir Jack and Hal wasn't much, so Sir Jack quickly got to where he stood.He stopped in front of him, the weird smile now washed off his face and replaced with a slightly solemn look.He fixed his gaze on Hal for a few moments, his arms crossed over his chest, not saying anything,, and then suddenly, he said."Will you become part of my team Hal?." He asked, the solemn look still carved into his face."We would work together, and participate in future raids together." He continued."I've seen you fight upfront and know your potential, I think you would be a good addition to my team." He ended, his brown eyes shimmering a strange light._Ah, this is totally unexpected. I knew he had seen me fighting, and he was slightly aware of my capabilities, but to think he'd want to add me to his team? Definitely not expected. I thought he had trust issues with me, but now he is personally inviting me to his team, as he forgot all of the weird incidents surrounding me. My re-aw
