2024-05-13 23:09:31News about Alexander's greatness and bravery in eradicating all the dragons that attacked his country and neighboring countries became the number one topic of conversation for the past two days.
He became more and more famous. The women increasingly expected to be stared at by him, and he returned their smiles. Alexander used to not like people talking about him, but now he likes it because they didn't talk about him being the son of the head of the dragon hunting Klaudstion organization. Alexander could be proud of himself, even though he was able to kill all the dragons with that massive bow thanks to the mysterious power he obtained after being given the chance to restart his life. No one dared to mock Alexander anymore because he couldn't fight with a sword. He accepted the nickname given to him by everyone in his country happily. “An excellent archer.” Francis called Alexander by his new nickname. Alexander looked at his friend with an expressionless face. The nickname made him even more passionate about killing all the dragons and expelling the devil from this planet. He wouldn't let all humans die, and this planet would only be inhabited by dragons and devils. "You can't smile, huh?" Francis squatted in front of Alexander, who was sitting on the grass. “Your face is very stiff. Your father's face is not as scary as yours.” Alexander threw a stone at Francis' cheek. His friend wasn't angry; he just grinned broadly. Francis enjoyed teasing Alexander. “I regret watching you practice.” Alexander was about to stand up, and Francis hurriedly pulled his hand with all his strength. Alexander's butt landed sharply on the grass. "If there was a rock, my butt would have a hole in it." Francis chuckled. “You're overreacting.” Alexander's gaze was fixed on the hunters who were practicing using swords. He used to be too lazy about coming to this place because the hunters would talk about him being very weak in battle, but now Alexander could watch Francis train with confidence. Alexander never cared about other people's opinions about him, and his father was never disappointed or embarrassed to have a child like him. Alexander just wanted to save his ears from hearing their ugly voices and laughter. “I love seeing sword duels,” Alexander said. “I love watching my dad fight Ezra.” He looked at Francis, who was also looking at him. “I also like watching you fight with Hendrick.” Francis grinned widely and showed his cocky face. “I'm so great, aren't I? So far, the ones who can beat me are the head, vice head, coach, and several seniors!” Alexander nodded without interest. He forgot that Francis liked to talk about his own greatness. “Don't be sad that you can't use a sword well.” Francis suddenly patted Alexander's shoulder. “Everyone is jealous of your archery prowess, and other archers want to be as good as you.” Francis wasn't like other people who thought Alexander was heartless just because Alexander never returned their taunts. Francis and Luca often found Alexander brooding, with sadness evident in his green eyes. “I never expect others to envy me or for them to make me their role model.” Alexander shrugged his shoulders; his response matched what Francis was thinking. “I never want to hold a sword again.” Alexander looked down at his hands. “My hands only want bows and arrows.” “I'm the same as you,” said Francis. “I also have no interest in trying to use other weapons.” Francis looked at his beloved sword. “I don't want to leave him, even for a second. I'm crazy about him." He chuckled. Alexander shuddered in horror. It was the first time he had seen someone love something he owned so much. *** While lying on the bed, waiting for his eyes to close so he could drift into dreamland, Alexander wondered if his strength and speed points would work when he used weapons other than bows and arrows. Then he thought, maybe his strength and speed points were working fine because he was already skilled with a bow and arrow, but he had intelligence points. Could intelligence points allow him to quickly master fighting techniques using other weapons? "But I'm quite satisfied with my abilities now," Alexander muttered. He decided that, for the time being, he would focus on killing the dragon with arrows. “Giant bow and arrows, made from the number one quality steel and iron on the planet.” Alexander looked at the giant arrow in his grasp. “This arrow became great and cool because of the strength and speed points that I have.” A strong wind like a storm blew his brown hair. Alexander was on top of a 30-meter tower. Luca was a few steps next to him, practicing his wind magic. “Would these arrows be great if someone else used them?” Alexander muttered, ignoring Luca, who was controlling the clouds with his wind magic. “I was the first to tame this giant bow and arrow.” Sometimes Alexander was tempted to brag about his achievements. After all, he was always able to kill the dragons. His strength and speed points were numerous and would continue to increase as long as he succeeded in carrying out the duties from that foreign voice. "Hero." All the hairs on Alexander's neck stood up. "That foreign voice once said that I was in the hero system, and she always said I had been chosen to be a hero every time she gave me a task." If these three status points required him to be a hero, that means Alexander had a big responsibility. “Did you come here to mumble and look at your new friend with admiration in your eyes?” Luca couldn't stop his mouth from commenting on Alexander's strange attitude. “You're just like Francis now. You guys like to praise and talk with your weapons," said Luca. He glanced at Alexander briefly before he refocused with his wind magic. “I'm different from Francis. I'm just confused about why I can shoot the dragons on target and I can become so rich if I want to receive the proceeds from selling the 20 dragons," said Alexander. In his second life, Alexander was very clever at lying to hide his secrets. Alexander put the giant arrow back in its original place, next to the giant bow. Then he stood next to Luca, and his green eyes observed Luca's wind magic, which had succeeded in shifting black clouds over the vast expanse of fields near their country. “Wow, you're so great.” Alexander clapped with rounded lips. His two friends were so cool and great. They weren't the only ones who were proud and happy to have a friend like him. “I can only control the wind,” said Luca. He took a deep breath and exhaled quickly. He was panting after using half his magic energy. “Not everyone can be like you,” said Alexander, resting his elbows on the wall railing with his lazy gaze fixed on Luca. “You're not like the person I know. Luca never feel inferior.” Luca laughed. He looked straight at Alexander and put his hand on his best friend's shoulder. “I'm not feeling inferior. What I said is reality. I can only control the wind, and I never complained why I only got wind magic.” “Mm, you're cool.” Alexander nodded. “Never forget that mine and Francis' bodies cannot absorb magic stones.” He dropped his gaze downward, looking at the people walking on the street. “Many people are depressed because they can't become magic hunters.” "You're right." Luca nodded. "Therefore, I can't complain, and I’m never tired of learning to control my wind magic." Luca's index finger created a small wave of wind, and Alexander tried to grip it, even though he knew he couldn't. “But I'm just like any other magic hunter. I want to master other magic. I hope my body can absorb magic stones that contain fire or water magic.” The wind wave Luca created disappeared after he blew it. “Humans can never be satisfied,” Alexander said. "You're right." Luca nodded, and then he looked at Alexander, who was looking at the sky. “But everyone has different goals. There are those who want to be so strong because they want to help many people, and there are also those who just want everyone to respect them.” Alexander looked straight at Luca. "How about you?" He asked, even though he already knew the answer. He knows his two best friends very well; they have been friends since childhood. "Of course, I want to help many people." Luca smiled broadly. Then his gaze turned sad. “But you don't need me. You can shoot the dragons without me needing to control the wind.” Alexander was stunned. Gosh, why did he forget that? He was too happy and confused by his strength, which was able to kill dragons with arrows. “I'm going to need you.” Alexander said it seriously. “You can control clouds with your wind magic. You can push and pull the clouds.” “I will practice every day,” said Luca. "I want to be your friend and work partner." He grinned. Luca was a person who always thought positively. Alexander promised himself that he would always ask Luca for help controlling the wind when he wanted to shoot the dragon. In his previous life, if Luca hadn't been his work partner, the arrows he released wouldn't have been able to hit the dragon's body. “When will the dragons attack again?” Alexander muttered, but Luca could hear him. He groaned when Luca hit him on the head. “Why do you expect such bad things?” Luca glared at his friend. Alexander pressed his lips together. Alexander had killed 20 dragons two days ago, but it seemed like a long time ago. Time appeared to pass slowly. [7 days after the devil's subordinate dragons attacked humans.] [You have been chosen to be a hero. Your third task lasts five days.] [You must persuade them that the dragon that attacked them is a subordinate of the devil and that they have committed the sin of murdering the dragons who live in the forest, mountain, and cave.] [If you fail. You will get a penalty.] [You are powerful, but your status will decrease if you fail your task.] "What?" Alexander was taken aback for a moment, and then he smiled crookedly. “A very challenging task.”

Luca looked at Alexander with a frown on his forehead. Lately his best friend had been muttering a lot, and sometimes he could hear it. "Did you get an assignment from your teacher to shoot wild animals?" Alexander was shocked. He forgot that Luca had quite sharp hearing. "No." He shook his head. “My new teacher is no fun.” Alexander snorted. “He always gave me tasks to shoot birds.” Alexander pointed to a white bird flying near the tower. “That's because you have the responsibility to shoot the dragon from the tower. Your teacher really knows what training you need," said Luca, as usual he enjoyed lecturing his two friends. Alexander nodded. "I know it." To be honest, he didn't need any more training because, as long as he had the power of the system, he would always be able to kill dragons and other animals. “Then why are you mumbling about a very challenging task?” asked Luca. He didn't get an answer yet; his curiosity wouldn't disappear. Alexander supported his chin, an

Rowan went to all the hunting teams to listen to their plans and provide some solutions. He never forgets to remind fellow team members to help each other and must not be selfish. Rowan was on a hunting team that would hunt a dragon not far from his country. As a hunter and head of the dragon hunting organization in his country, he cannot go far from his country because he must be able to return as quickly as possible if something bad happens to his country. Ezra and Rowan were on different teams. The head deputy of the dragon hunting organization was in the same group as Alexander, Francis, and Luca. Ezra was delighted when he met Alexander. In the past, he kept his distance from his best friend's son, whose conduct frequently made Rowan dizzy. Alexander sat with his team. He didn't give any ideas at all. His sense of hearing caught their conversation, but his brain was thinking about something else. No one reprimanded Alexander for daydreaming because he was like that. He was to

The hunters and magic hunters have been preparing their weapons since last night. They didn't forget to sleep, even if it was only two or three hours.They ate breakfast before departing. They ate a lot till they felt full. Then, do some mild workout to warm up your body and prepare to hunt dragons.The atmosphere in the Klaudstion dragon hunting organization building this morning was very busy. The hunters and magic hunters who didn't participate in the hunt also had breakfast there.Alexander wasn't in good spirits. Ezra, the deputy head of the Klaudstion dragon hunting organization, patted Alexander on the back hard enough that Alexander's chest hit the table. Ezra grinned broadly, not feeling guilty and not caring about his best friend's son's annoyed look."Since yesterday you haven't shown your enthusiasm," Ezra said. "At that time you were so enthusiastic about killing the dragons that attacked our country and neighboring countries." Ezra sat next to Alexander and then sipped h

Alexander's green eyes widened. He was shocked by what he had done. He had no other choice but to prevent them from entering the forest. Luca didn't expect Alexander to do something quite crazy like that. Yeah, that's the Alexander he knows; his best friend didn't care what other people thought of him, and Alexander would continue with his life even though many people didn't like him. "What do you mean?" asked Francis, who was standing to Alexander's right, he was the first to recover from his shock and confusion at Alexander's actions. "The dragons in the forest are innocent?" Francis pointed at the entrance to the forest a few meters ahead of them. "Yes. They are innocent.” Alexander nodded with confidence shining in his green eyes. “The dragons are divided into two groups. The dragons that attack our country and other countries aren't dragons that live in the forest!” Everyone looked at Alexander in confusion. They stared at each other, believing themselves that everyone heard

Rowan stopped walking and quickly looked back, staring at Alexander sharply. “Stop talking nonsense, Alexander!”"I'm not lying!" Alexander raised his voice. “I will prove my words. I will look for the base of the dragons who attacked us!”Alexander wasn't an obedient or rebellious child. He would listen to his parents' counsel if he thought it was good for him, but he frequently protests, especially when his father prevents him from doing something he enjoys and tells him not to return home late at night.Apart from being stubborn and rebellious, Alexander didn't have much patience. He easily ran out of patience, and tonight he couldn't stop himself from confronting his father, who didn't believe in him.“Where are you going to look for them? The world is wide. You just graduated from the academy three weeks ago, and you've only participated in hunting dragons in the forest twice," said Rowan. “Oh, I almost forgot; today you ran away from your team after saying that ridiculous thing.

“I have a map.” Francis handed Alexander a roll of paper. “Save the map. You can't get lost in this wide world.”Alaxander immediately sat down and smiled brightly when he received the map from Francis. “Thank you so much, Francis.”Luca looked at Francis flatly and then secretly sighed when he saw Alexander. Francis supported Alexander in escaping, even though Rowan asked them to resuscitate Alexander.“Why did you give him the map, you idiot?” Luca hit Francis on the back of the head. His best friend grimaced in pain and looked at him in annoyance. “We have a mission to prevent him from leaving.”“I can't do it,” said Francis. "I know I broke my promise to the head." He showed a sorry face and he was ready to accept Alexander's father's anger.“I immediately realized that I couldn't stop Alexander from doing what he really wanted to do. He never got tired of encouraging me to get back to wielding a sword.” Francis glanced at his right hand, which had been broken two years ago. "At t

Alexander walked casually past the many people who were drunk in the tavern. Some of them were hunters and magic hunters, and of course they knew Alexander. Who doesn't know Rowan at Klaudstion?“Where do you want to go, Alexander? Do you want to prove the dragons who inhabit the forest are innocent?” shouted a male hunter who was sitting near the bridge. His friends laughed."He is lying. I'm sure he just wants to kill all the dragons by himself. He wants to maintain the title of excellent archer.” A female hunter with a spear on her back gave Alexander a mocking look.“Ah, you're right. He is confident he can kill all the dragons.” A male hunter with purple hair nodded.Alexander looked at them with an expressionless face; he didn't show his emotions at all. He was annoyed, of course, but he was most lazy about fighting over trivial matters.“I don't care what you all say,” Alexander said. "Laugh and mock me now, but if one day what I say is the truth, you don't need to apologize to

Alexander swallowed hard, looking fearfully at the ten bandits standing five meters in front of them. Their bodies were big and tall, and they had different weapons. There was a woman holding the samurai, and she was chewing gum.The woman was standing in the middle among her male friends. She returned Alexander's gaze, and she didn't forget to give the green-eyed man a scary smile. Alexander shuddered in horror.That bandit woman, if she didn't have her long, bright blonde hair braided and her breasts weren't big, Alexander and his two friends wouldn't have known that she was a woman.“I know what you guys think of me.” The woman with light blonde hair pointed her samurai at the three young men whose wealth they wanted to seize. “Don't underestimate me. Even though I'm a woman, I can cut off your ears with my samurai." She laughed, and her nine friends laughed too.“What a terrible laugh,” Luca commented.“I'm not looking down on you,” Alexander said honestly. "Of course you're stron

“Francis!” Alexander shouted, calling Francis. He spurred his legs to run faster until he and Francis were only five steps away.The small black dog chased Francis while barking. He looked furious at Francis.Alexander had never faced a fierce or angry dog and didn’t know how to handle a small dog.“Alex. Help me!” Francis ran towards a dead end alley, his eyes widening when he saw a green garbage can.Francis hurriedly climbed onto the garbage can and stood on it, ignoring the stench emanating from the pile of trash. Perhaps the garbage can was whole, causing people to place their garbage around it.“You can't touch me, little dog,” Francis said arrogantly.Francis laughed heartily as he watched the little black dog jump up and down and climb the trash pile just to bite Francis’s legs. He didn’t give up even though he knew he would fail because he had tiny legs.Alexander stopped in front of the alley. He stared at Francis blankly. His friend was so happy to see the little dog suffer

Alexander and Francis stared at Luca in shock. Luca had already expressed his brilliant idea twice without telling them first. Luckily, they agreed with Luca.“I like Luca’s idea.” Francis nodded, and his gaze fell on Pamela. “Let us sell your donuts, Mrs. Baren. We’ve never traded before, but we’ll try to sell them all!”“Although we won’t be in this country for long, let us help you, Mr. and Mrs. Baren.” Alexander stared at Pamela and Jaceb, who were still in shock until they couldn’t respond to the three young men’s words.Francis and Luca stared at Alexander. They forgot the purpose of running away from their country without saying goodbye to their families."We will be in Natrana for three days, but we wanted to do something we have never done before. It just so happens that the three of us like assisting those in need," Luca said softly, his sweet smile melting the hearts of everyone he spoke to."We haven't repaid Alexander's kindness for paying our debt, buying us food, and bu
Chapter 46
As they stood in the alley, quite far from the family’s house, Luca told his two friends about his idea, and as he had expected, Alexander and Francis had the same thoughts as him.“We have to help the family so they can earn money. If they have money to eat, they won’t be tempted to borrow from that old man again,” Luca said.“This time, they were saved because Alexander heard Jaceb’s voice begging the fat old man not to kill his wife and son, but luck like that won’t come twice,” Francis said.After that, Francis and Luca looked at Alexander with questioning eyes.Alexander raised his eyebrows, wondering why his two friends gave him that look. Then he scratched his head and turned his eyes towards the lovely house across them.“How did you suddenly have such sharp hearing? Are you sure your ability just appeared suddenly?” Francis narrowed his eyes, suspicious of Alexander.“Ever since we went on an adventure looking for demons and their subordinate dragons, you often made me and Lu

“You guys aren’t afraid of death, huh? Don’t you realize that you’re just kids?” The fat man glared at the three teenagers, who showed no fear at all.“Even though you’re hunters, you won’t be able to win against my men. Your abilities are only used to kill dragons. While my men fight humans, and you can’t estimate how many people have died at their hands.” The fat man said proudly.The ten men of the fat man smiled creepily. They were ready to gang up on the three teenagers until they were battered.“Don’t underestimate us, old man.” Francis smiled crookedly and held the hilt of his sword tightly.“We’ve faced bandits three times. Their bodies are muscular, and their faces are scary, just like yours.” Francis pointed his index finger at the fat man and his ten men with an arrogant face.“We won’t be able to fight them, idiot,” Luca whispered. He stood between Francis and Alexander. “They can fight without using weapons. Unlike us, who rely on weapons. They could just invite us to fig

Alexander was shocked and blinked three times. He couldn’t believe the words written on the transparent blue window floating in front of him.It was the first time the system had asked him if he wanted to see his rewards and points.It was strange. Usually, the blue window would immediately show Alexander’s status, rewards, and punishments.Alexander stopped walking because he needed to think. He didn’t tell his two friends, who continued walking without realizing that Alexander was daydreaming with a severe face.“Yes, I want to see it,” Alexander said to the system, but the words written on the transparent blue screen floating in front of him didn’t change. “Didn’t the system understand what I said?”Alexander tilted his head. His decision to stop walking was correct because he seemed to be taking a long time to answer the system's questions."I want to see my rewards and status points," Alexander said confidently. Maybe the system wanted a specific answer.No. Alexander has not bee

Francis and Luca stared at Alexander in confusion and stunned. How could Alexander know that Licore was robbed?The five young men carrying weapons turned to Alexander, Francis, and Luca. Then they walked out of the gold shop together. There was no gold there; they were too late to rob a country the dragon had destroyed.“Wow, wow. We didn’t know people were still alive in this country,” said the young man wearing a green shirt. He stood before his four friends as if he wanted to tell them he was the group's leader.“Aren’t you afraid to live in this country that has been destroyed? You better move to another country,” said the man wearing a black shirt.“I’m telling you because I know you don’t have any money. Before you leave, you should search every building for valuables, and then you can sell them at the second-hand shop.” The man in the green shirt lowered his voice, not wanting others to hear what he said.“We’re not from Licore, but we’re not like you who come to this country

The physician had treated Francis and ten hunters from Licore. A few minutes after breakfast with bread, they decided to rush to the traditional market to buy cooking ingredients, vegetable seeds, fertilizer, gardening tools, and tents.They did not spend all the money. Two bags of gold coins were still intact to buy other necessities tomorrow or the day after.The thirty young men returned to Licore slowly because they were carrying heavy luggage. In the morning, there were no bandits, so they could walk leisurely until they arrived in their country.Everyone in Licore welcomed them happily, and they complained that their stomachs were rumbling.The thirty young men agreed not to tell the people of Licore what happened to them last night because it was a risk they had to bear as hunters who sold dragons at the Free Trade Union office.Luca handed the cooking ingredients to the women. He didn't need to tell the old and young women to save them because they were well aware that they ne

The five senior hunters immediately attacked the eight bandits fiercely. They asked Luca and 22 hunters from Licore to hand over the bandits to them.Alexander grimaced, seeing many injured hunters of Licore. A magic hunter with healing abilities could only help a few people; his power was limited.Alexander looked straight ahead, and he found Francis and Luca. He couldn't see clearly what his two friends were doing because the fight between the five senior hunters and the eight bandits blocked his view. He hoped his two friends were okay.The fifteen hunters of Licore ignored the pain in their bodies and immediately surrounded Alexander, who was hugging his dragon skin backpack tightly. The woman with shoulder-length purple and red hair stood before Alexander with her hands on her hips.They watched the fight between the five senior hunters and the eight bandits in unison. Their numbers were not balanced, but the five senior hunters did not show any anxiety or complain; they actually

No one heard Alexander’s scream. The sound of swords and spears clashing dominated the room.The bandit was dueling with the woman who entered through the window. The spear hunter and the magic hunter, guarding hundreds of gold coins with Alexander, were focused on watching the fight and ready to help the woman.“Hey, don’t you see the fire on the curtain?” Alexander looked at the spear hunter and the magic hunter and pointed his index finger at the burning curtain.“Tell everyone! I’ll put all the gold coins in my backpack.” Alexander put down six brown bags containing 600 gold coins. His hands didn’t shake because he was used to holding a lot of money.“Fire! Fire! This place is going to burn!”“We’re going to be roasted!”The spear hunter and the magic hunter shouted to make sure those fighting heard their voices, but Francis, Luca, and the 25 hunters from Licore could only turn their heads for a moment because the nine bandits would take advantage of their carelessness.“Damn it.”
