The combination of attacks was devastating. The powerful electric kick landed full of the creature as Barry's plasma burned his courace. It let out a horrible scream, a mixture of pain and rage, as it was consumed by the powerful energies. With a terrible battle finally over, the trio was left exhausted and injured. Leonard, Barry, and Alice were destroyed by the effort, their bodies marked by scratches, bruises and small cuts from the encounter with the monstrous. Their clothes were worn and dirty, and they felt the pain pulsing in every muscle. Leonard, after masterfully hitting the target, landed on the ground after rolling for some distance. His muscles were tense, and he braced himself with his hands on the ground as he tried to catch his breath. His face displayed a mixture of satisfaction and concern. Alice, realizing what had happened, rushed to her aid with her remaining strength. She was exhausted, her energy completely drained, but relieved that they had defeated the crea

The group was stunned by what they were witnessing.Carefully, Adam removed a body from within the creature's shell, after removing it from roots that attached to its body. He was a tall young man with black hair, and at that moment he was unconscious.He stank, being covered in dirt and bruises, but he was alive.Chloe was the first to react, concern evident on her face. She exclaimed, "My God, look at him! He's alive!"Adam put him down and immediately started checking the man's vitals. He was tense, the group too. Everyone watched apprehensively when Adam finally let out a relieved sigh."He's weak, but still has a pulse." He said, "We need to get him back to the village as soon as possible, so they can take care of him."Rachel was still baffled by the situation, not wanting to leave without solutions to the bigger question."Who is he? What was he doing inside that monster? It doesn't make sense."Leonard looked at the man with a thoughtful expression. "To some degree he is relat

“Miss Jenkins!” Said the mayor, visibly upset. He had been taken by surprise, raising the scare at the exact moment that the lady had arrived. She kept a steady Nelore gaze, while the group felt uncomfortable in this situation. Leonard tried to sneak away, but Adam let him by his coat cap.Marcus cleared his throat before continuing, bringing with him a tone of authority to try and mask his embarrassment.“You see, Mrs. Jenkins, we are having an important meeting. You cannot enter without being called, and in this impoliteness.”But the lady didn't move a foot, returning in kind.“We villagers are part of the village, and we need to be integrated into the affairs. Even more so when it comes to something to do with the possible state of OUR children.”In the face of this onslaught, the mayor faltered, his eyes now drifting to the walls."Ms. Jenkins, please understand that we are doing everything we can to handle this situation as best we can."Mrs. Jenkins wasn't about to listen to ex
The Beast Hunter System is Flawed! 1: The Wolf's Mystery (I)
In the quiet woods on the outskirts of small Tobata Village, something peculiar was happening. It had rained the night before, so the dew drops were still clinging to the leaves on the trees, and muddying the ground with puddles in the process. However, suddenly one of these is trampled by a deep and swift step, spreading muddy water around it. A child, with blond hair cut short, desperately flees into the depths of the woods. Running at a brisk pace, the boy does everything to increase the distance between him and his mysterious pursuer, while the despair on his face as he looks back tells otherwise. From afar, he glimpses the cursed executioner again. A big white wolf jumps out from behind the bush, while the child is already a little way off. His withered belly and semi-exposed rib explain that he hasn't eaten for days, and that he would do anything to have a bite of a large piece of meat. As the little one tires, and they get closer to the side of a mountain, the helpless prey se

The Tobata Library, located at the edge of the village and next to the church square, was a common space. A huge building containing a vast expanse of years and years of history and knowledge of all kinds. Even with its wide range of books from the most varied genres, all individuals, inside, are treated as equals. Either you borrowed a book to take home, or you retreated to a small table, so you could read, and this was exactly the situation that a particular individual found himself.Seated at a small table by the window, with the sun's rays illuminating the pages of time-worn paper, the individual known as Adam Archen was quietly reading the book he had just chosen.In a question of appearance, he was a dark young man, a little short for his age, with dark green hair parted across his forehead. For clothing, he wears a long-sleeved white shirt and an orange tie, covered by a black vest with yellow buttons, dark brown pants, and black shoes.In the early afternoon, Adam's reading pr

At the orphanage gate, Leonard faced the forest across the street, his eyes scanning the surroundings where he believed the missing child might have ventured. "It can only be there," he thought, weighing the possibilities in his mind. "If the kid had gone through the back, the cooks, and Adam himself could have seen and stopped him. Other than that, jumping the gate through the laundry room was going to get a lot of attention. Only the main entrance remains. But the gate is closed. Anyway, something is wrong in this story, but soon, the pieces will fall into place." Once through the first thicket, Leonard stumbled upon something peculiar and knelt down to examine it closely. "Fight marks on the floor," he observed, his brow furrowing. "Looks like someone rolled over here. They tried and managed to master something." Leonard stood up, scanning the area towards the north of the marking. Whatever had left these marks could have gone in any direction. However, the dense forest ahead s

The man runs out the door and Leonard goes down through the basement, to find a desperate scene.The messy hair guy had his arms and legs bleeding and extremely injured, while he was going to be devoured by the werewolf, who at that point in time, was half transformed. With only its arms, head and foot in the form of a wolf.Leonard lunges in to interrupt the action, hitting the lycanthrope with a bewildering slam that knocks the man to the ground. Then the boy does it again, trying to buy the man time to get away."RUN FROM HERE!" Shouted Leonard. His request is granted, and the guy with the messy hair starts to crawl in search of freedom.Meanwhile, Leonard faces the wolf. Tired of just being beaten, the lycanthrope tries a diagonal attack with the aim of tearing the boy's skin. But the dodges the blow just by jumping back.The wolf tries again, but Leo ducks to dodge and slashes at his opponent's belly. In order to make a stronger attack, the boy takes advantage of the wolf's momen

"The battle between Adam and Chloe against the werewolf continued, but now, things started to get complicated.With Adam as the only one on the front line, Chloe had to alternate between attacking on her own and providing cover. In addition, fatigue and exhaustion were taking their toll on both of them, even more so when facing a rabid beast of that size.On the other hand, the werewolf's momentum made him tireless, unstoppable. Every dodged attack, every hit taken, all of it made the lycanthrope go crazy with rage. Little by little, the beast began to stand out, until, in a single movement, it became clearer.Adam prepares to land a decisive move on the werewolf's chest, a direct, fast and extremely hard punch. But when he does, to his surprise, his opponent absorbs the blow, taking the damage to launch a counterattack.Its claws attach to its opponent's neck, and the lycanthrope lifts Adam high, as if he were a trophy, taking the young boy hostage.Adam tries to react, moving his ar

Barry's heart was pounding wildly in his chest, nearly drowning him with the deafening sound.His body seemed to freeze, a mixture of fear and uncertainty gripped him, preventing him from moving. Every muscle seemed to stubbornly refuse any command his brain sent it. The feeling of cowardice that enveloped him was overwhelming, an inner voice told him that it was better to run away, escape from that situation that seemed impossible to win.His heart, uncontrolled, hammered in his chest, as if he wanted to escape the approaching danger. Barry felt his mouth go dry and his stomach churn.An internal struggle raged inside him, a battle between fear and the will to make a difference. He was afraid to return to combat, wanting to remove his allies from the battlefield. But his body refused to move.But then, something inside Barry started to change.

Although a silence had settled in the clearing, tension still hung in the air.Leonard watched the fallen creature with a serious expression, his eyes fixed on the crystals that still emanated a faint light of energy. He could feel the confusion and worry building in her eyes as the creature's nature defied his understanding.Beside him, Alice was deep in thought, her eyes watching the creature's slow regeneration. She knew something unusual was going on here, something they couldn't ignore.Barry, on the other hand, was getting and coming in the encounter of the other two, with a tired and frustrated expression on his face. He had broken out of the creature's prison, as his strength had stopped for a while. Things hadn't gone as expected, and for that reason, he wanted to use that moment to gather as much information as possible.Leonard finally broke the silence, his words charged with confusion. "What the hell is this thing? I've never faced anything like this before."Alice, still

“URHG!” Leonard said, putting Alice and Barry down.When he glimpsed the attack, the young man immediately sprang into action. With his arms, he leapt, carrying the pair into the air.Leonard helped Barry and Alice to their feet, his gaze fixed on the raised creature in the distance."Is everyone okay? This thing doesn't play around," he asked, concern evident in his voice."Just a few scratches. It could have been worse," Alice replied, her voice quiet but determined.Barry quickly inspected his machines, his face expressing a combination of worry and focus. He knew the situation was serious, but his resolve was clear in his determined expression."My things got the worst of it, but I think it's still functional. At least it gives us a chance," he said, his voice charged with resilient determination.Leonard turned to the creature with a serious look, his brows furrowed as he assessed the creature's wooden cuirass. His mind was working at full speed, looking for weaknesses and plans

The group ventured further into the mysterious forest, their minds still reeling from the disturbing sight they had witnessed earlier. The weight of their mission weighed heavily on their shoulders, and they were all too aware of the urgency of finding a solution before it was too late.In the afternoon it was sunny, under the sheet of dense forest, the group investigated the trail, with their attentive eyes hoping to find some trace. Any strange noise would be a good clue, but other than birdsong and running water, the whole place was silent.Crossing the river, they came across the place where Evangeline had been found. It was a huge clearing, with the trees forming a green wall that isolated this location from anywhere else in the forest."We'll have a good area to cover,'' commented Leonard, as the six split up to search each direction of the place.He, with his quick eyes, scanned all parts of the east. Barry used mysterious metallic spheres in the west, emitting a red glow from

As the group arrived at the mayor's house, they were met with a mixture of surprise and confusion in the mayor's eyes. His jaw dropped slightly, taken aback by the presence of several young adventurers before him. For a moment, he looked speechless, struggling to comprehend the situation unfolding before him.The adventurers exchanged puzzled looks, trying to hide their awkwardness at the mayor's confused state. As they entered the house, the mayor fumbled, trying to regain his composure as he led them inside."Thanks for having us, Mayor. We heard about the disappearances in the village and came as quickly as possible to help," Adam said respectfully."Yes, yes, of course. It's just... I hoped... well, never mind. The important thing is that you are here now. Well..." the mayor stammered nervously.Seeing the mayor's confusion, Charlotte immediately asked, "We came for the mission, we don't know who requested it, so we thought you might be the most recommended person to guide us thro

8: The Village Report (I)
As the group advanced through the dense forest, hours passed by in the embrace of nature's lush beauty. Barry cleared his throat, a hint of nervousness blending with his determination. "Listen up, everyone," he called out. "I have been thinking about leadership and what it takes to keep this team together, focused, and strong. I believe that to succeed, we need someone who can make quick decisions, inspire confidence, and lead us through any challenge that comes our way. He will have to be strong, powerful, and with an extremely firm hand. That's why I believe that this person should be none other than myself." Barry said that, exuding confidence, but no one really cared about what he was saying and just continued to walk. Except, obviously, for Leonard, who crossed his arms as his competitive spirit awakened. "Not so fast, Barry. I've got charisma, wit, and a unique ability to think on my feet, and manage to make sure people always come out of difficult situations unscathed, always
