Clarissa suspected William was the Windsor everyone talked about. She stared at him, curiosity clear in her eyes, as she awaited an answer.

William returned her gaze with a calm smile. "My name is William Windsor, remember?" he replied.

"Yes, I know that, but I'm curious. You seem to have a certain connection with Starkcom," she responded.

"You're wrong, I don’t. It could be that they actually insulted the son of someone powerful and not me, and that’s costing them their dignity," William replied.

Beside Clarissa, Florence watched William with surprise and a secret hint of adoration she didn't want to display in front of everyone.

That day, when she heard the cost of the gifts he bought for his wife, she was shocked beyond belief. She was so shocked that she spent several days pondering the matter and still couldn't come to a definite answer.

'Who is William, really? Why has he suddenly changed? How could someone as poor as him afford such an expensive gift?' These questions frequentl

    "What did you just say?" Lady Storm was shocked after Clarissa rejected the one position she had always wanted."You heard me right, I don't want the director position anymore," Clarissa replied with a cold look on her beautiful face."Clarissa, what is wrong with you? Are you going to give up the position just like that and for what reason?" Florence immediately intervened, trying to persuade Clarissa to accept it."Yes. Clarissa, I also want to know your reason for rejecting it," Lady Storm demanded."It's simple, you guys don't deserve me at all," Clarissa laid the obvious answer in front of everyone."We don't deserve you?" Charles was the one to question this time.Clarissa glared at him. "Yes, when have you ever called me 'sister' since I married William, Charles?"Charles didn't reply, and Clarissa didn't even wait for a reply, she continued, "You never called me your sister. It's either 'bitch,' 'loser,' or 'the wife of a loser.' But today, after learning that I really got the

Meanwhile, beside the bed, a beautiful golden mat layed on the ground and sitting on it was William with his upper body naked, revealing his abs. He was sitting in a lotus position with his eyes closed. His hands were boring closed to each other and in them was a glowing blue orb. The orb glowed with a brilliant light and released a low humming noise as the mana residing in it was being absorbed by William.

    Morning finally arrived. Standing outside a beautiful and almost heavenly villa was a beautiful couple hugging each other intimately. William hands was wrapped around Clarissa's waist as he caressed her hip lovingly while Clarissa was very happy and dressed cooperatively, ready for work. "You're really coming with me," she asked William who had promise to drive with her to work today. Nevertheless, Clarissa made him accept her promise in order to prove her theory. Since she suspected that William was the Windsor of Starkcom, she decided to test her suspicions by bringing William to Starkcom and seeing how others treated him. "Yeah, I promise to go with you but I'll leave as soon as I arrive, I want to get my own car and also get my hunter license."

    In life, everyone has that one person they hate, someone who wronged them in the worst ways, someone who made them have suicidal thoughts, someone who made them feel inferior.However, there is a saying that a fool seeks revenge while a wise man leaves it to God's karma.But to William, the person who made this quote never actually felt such hatred, never felt so wronged that he thought of taking his own life."In this world, the weak are wronged every day but choose to keep quiet because they have no power to fight back. But I, William, would leave no stone unturned until my enemies go through sufferings worse than mine," William thought inwardly as he glared at Jack Froster."Are you deaf now?" Jack Froster asked after seeing that William didn't respond.The service manager looked at William and his boss, confused. How did they know each other? He thought."It seems you are not only deaf but dumb. Did someone beat those two senses out of your body, you weak piece of shit?" Jack Fros

    William followed a rather unfriendly lady into the magic test room, passing by several rooms where others like him were taking their tests. He walked calmly beside her. This lady seemed annoyed by a previous person who had flirted with her during his test because of her beauty and curves. To avoid similar drama, she acted unfriendly towards William.Soon, both of them arrived at the room. It was white in color, and there were several monitor screens in the corner of the room. Also, in the center of the room was a large orb that glowed calmly. “Place your hand on that orb,” she instructed William coldly, pointing at the large orb. “It will test your magic affinity. If it is lower than 30%, you’ll be disqualified. But if it’s more, you will move on to the next round,” she explained.William nodded and followed her instructions, placing his hand on the orb as it then began to exude a very bright glow. Data from the orb was transferred to the monitor screen by the wires coming from beneat

    The world had changed, but it was slowly mending. The scars left by the apocalypse were deep, and the memories of those harrowing days would never truly fade, but humanity was resilient. Two weeks had passed since the hunters had emerged victorious from the Death Tower, and in that short time, the earth had already begun to heal.The sky was a clear blue, the clouds soft and white, drifting peacefully above a world that had been plunged into darkness for so long. The air, once thick with the stench of decay and the virus that had plagued humanity, was now clean and fresh, a reminder of the life that had been restored. Birds, absent during the apocalypse, had returned, their songs filling the air with a sense of normalcy that had been absent for far too long.The government, once crippled by the chaos, had reestablished itself. Leaders who had survived the ordeal stepped forward, determined to rebuild the world that had been nearly destroyed. They worked tirelessly, organizing effo

    William blinked as the light surrounding him began to fade, the familiar, comforting warmth of reality returning to him.The oppressive darkness and twisted landscape were gone, replaced by the cool air and the solid ground beneath his feet.He felt the weight of exhaustion settle over him, but with it came a profound sense of relief. He had won.As his vision cleared, William found himself standing at the entrance of the Death Tower, the same place where their perilous journey had begun. He wasn’t alone. Around him, the surviving hunters appeared, emerging from their own battles, their faces a mixture of disbelief, exhaustion, and profound relief.They were fewer in number—much fewer. What had once been a group of sixty had been reduced to a small, ragged handful. They looked at each other, their eyes wide with surprise and then, slowly, with growing joy as they realized what had happened. They had survived. They had made it out alive.Carson was the first to speak, his voice hoars

    William stared at the figure before him, his mind racing as he tried to make sense of the twisted reflection standing just a few paces away. The smirk on the doppelganger's face was chilling, filled with an arrogance and darkness that William recognized but had never embraced himself. This was not just a reflection; it was something far more sinister. "Who are you?" William demanded, his voice steady, though the unease gnawed at him. "Why do you look like me?" The doppelganger tilted its head slightly, the smirk widening. "I am the Dark One," it said, its voice a distorted echo of William's own. "The force behind the apocalypse, the one who brought chaos and ruin to your world." William’s eyes widened in shock, and then narrowed in anger. "You... You’re the one who unleashed the zombies, who turned the world into a living nightmare?" His grip tightened on his sword, the blade beginning to glow faintly with the power of his blood magic. "Why? Why would you do something so monstrous?

    After venturing into the portal, the fate of all the hunters were left in their own hands. Each of them were sent to a new world to face a different challenge. A large numbers of the hunters died the moment they appeared!Some fought with their last bits of strengths, the zeal to survive pushing them further. Nevertheless most of them were unable to wrestle against their own fate. Some like Carson and Gregor survived. A lot faced unfortunate deaths, their fates ended! This was the job of the death tower after all. ....Mark found himself standing in a desolate wasteland, the ground cracked and barren, with jagged rocks jutting out of the earth like broken teeth. The sky above was a swirling mass of dark clouds, and the air was thick with the smell of sulfur. There was no sign of life, no movement, only the oppressive silence of a world that had been long abandoned."Where am I?"

    Gregor awoke to a world of fire and smoke. The ground beneath him was hot, the air thick with ash and the smell of burning flesh. He groaned as he pushed himself to his feet, his body aching from the strain of the previous battles. But as he looked around, he realized that he was alone.“Carson? William?” he called out, but his voice was swallowed by the roar of the flames that surrounded him.He was standing in the middle of a volcanic wasteland, the ground cracked and scorched, with rivers of molten lava flowing through the fissures. The sky above was a dark, stormy gray, with ash and embers swirling in the air like a deadly blizzard. In the distance, he could see massive volcanic peaks, their slopes glowing with the intense heat of the lava flows.There was no sign of his comrades, no trace of the others who had fought by his side. Gregor clenched his fists, his mind racing as he tried to make sense of the situation. “Where am I? What is this place?”But there was no time for a

    As the hunters leaped into the light, they felt a sudden, jarring sensation as if the very fabric of reality had shifted around them. The blinding brightness enveloped them, and for a moment, it felt as though they were floating in an endless void. But then, just as quickly, the sensation ended, and they found themselves standing on solid ground once more.The light receded, and with it, the warmth that had surrounded them. Each of them opened their eyes to a new reality—one that was far from the serene landscape they had glimpsed before. Instead, they were plunged into separate worlds, each one a twisted, chaotic reflection of the challenges they had already faced. And worst of all, they were alone.Carson blinked, trying to make sense of his surroundings. He was standing in a dense forest, but it was unlike any forest he had ever seen. The trees were gnarled and twisted, their branches clawing at the sky like skeletal fingers. The air was thick with the stench of decay, and the

    The robotic voice barely finished speaking when the ground beneath the hunters began to tremble violently. Before they could react, the floor cracked open beneath their feet, creating a gaping tunnel that spiraled downward into darkness. Without a moment’s hesitation, William shouted, “Into the tunnel! Move!”The hunters, their instincts honed by the countless battles they had fought, didn’t waste time questioning. They jumped into the tunnel, their bodies sliding down the smooth, obsidian-like surface as the walls blurred past them. The descent was steep, and the sensation of speed was dizzying, but none of them allowed fear to take hold. They knew that whatever awaited them at the end of this tunnel was the final challenge of the tower.The tunnel seemed to stretch on endlessly, the darkness oppressive and suffocating. But far ahead, a faint light appeared, growing brighter as they drew closer. The sight of it brought a spark of hope to the hunters—they were nearing the end.Howeve

    In the inferno purgatory, Willaim and the hunters heard a very loud shriek that pierce through the core of emotions and inflicts all sort of negative emotions, including fears. William quickly pun around, his eyes scanning the horizon for the source of the noise. The flames flickered and danced in the distance, casting long shadows across the cracked ground, but there was nothing else in sight.But then the shadows began to move.From the darkness between the flames, figures began to emerge. At first, they were little more than dark shapes, but as they drew closer, their forms became clearer. They were tall, towering over the hunters, with long, tattered robes that billowed around them like smoke. Their faces were hidden beneath deep hoods, but their eyes—glowing a sickly green—burned with a cold, unholy light.Each figure carried a massive scythe, the blades glinting wickedly in the firelight. They moved with a slow, deliberate grace, their skel

    As William stepped through the portal, the world around him dissolved into a blur of light and energy. The sensation was disorienting, as if he were being pulled through a tunnel at breakneck speed, but it lasted only a moment. When the light faded, he found himself standing in a place that defied all sense of reality.The ground beneath his feet was blackened and cracked, as if the very earth had been scorched by an unrelenting fire. Flames flickered and danced across the landscape, casting an eerie, orange glow that bathed everything in a hellish light. The air was thick with heat, and the smell of sulfur and burning flesh hung heavy in the air, making it difficult to breathe.All around them, the landscape stretched out in a twisted, nightmarish expanse. Jagged mountains loomed in the distance, their peaks wreathed in fire and smoke. Rivers of molten lava snaked through the land, their glowing currents radiating an intense heat that made the skin prickle. And everywhere they l
