When Leit opened the door to the outside world, he found himself just outside the apartment he was living in. There was a long hallway with many doors with numbers on the them. His apartment was numbered 499 and seemed to be the last apartment so Leit chose left and walked calmly in the hallway. 

Everything he came across didn't feel new to him, it was new to him. At the end of the hallway was the elevator and Leit entered it. Anime had taught him many things about the outside world and technology and it was now time to apply this information in real life.

The elevator opened a bipedal iguana family walked out of the elevator and ignored Leit who was looking at them with curiosity and awe. Leit then quickly entered the elevator and pressed one. The elevator doors closed and for the first time in his life, Leit experienced inertia and it wasn't a good experience. A few minutes later, the elevator doors opened and a huge lobby with different bipedal species was revealed to Leit. 

The place looked luxurious and high class like it was for the wealthy. Leit looked at everyone with curiosity but they just ignored him, who would care about a skinny old man, they got better things to do. Leit saw the entrance and exit of this building and quickly walked towards it and the doors opened automatically and finally, Leit was out of his hell hole. 

Once outside, Leit didn't expect it to be so dusty. 

‘So that's why everyone was wearing scarfs and masks.’ he thought as he chose a random direction and ran away. 

Swoosh! 

Leit's speed was so fast that he left a dust trail behind since the road wasn't paved or built using any special material. Leit was running at an impressive speed of 45 000 kilometres per hour, 750 kilometres per minute and 12.5 kilometres per second. He was ten times faster than bullet speed but he didn't know that, at least not now. 

‘How do I stop?! How do I stop?!’ thought Leit as he was about to crash through a group of fancy armoury wearing people. 

“Rirr, incoming!” said the bird headed man and a tall and muscular beetle headed person wearing heavy armour stood in front of Leit. The heavy armour was D-Rank equipment so it was strong but when this Rirr guy came into contact with Leit, he knew, he fucked up. 

Bang! 

Whoosh! 

Rirr's armour shattered and Leit passed through his body like he was a curtain of water. Leit then tumbled on the ground before coming to a stop. His clothes were dirty and covered in blood and sand, even his hair and face had blood on it.

Plop! 

“You killed him… You killed Rirr! Why did you kill our teammate?! Huh, why did you kill him when he was only trying to help?! If you don't give me a valid reason then I'm calling the cops!” said the bird headed man but unfortunately, he didn't understand a word he was saying. 

“Captain, I don't think he understands a word you're saying.” said a gorgeous lady with snake eyes and tongue. 

“Take this! Put it around your neck! Put. It. Around. Your. Neck.” said the bird headed man, slowly, while also making gestures. Leit had seen Tom wearing a similar gadget so he also wore it around his neck. 

“Do you understand me now?!” shouted the bird headed man. 

“Loud and clear, there's no need for you to shout.” said Leit while covering his ears. 

“Why did you kill my teammate?” asked the bird headed man while pointing at Rirr who had a humanoid hole and nothing in that hole. 

“I'm sorry for what I did and I'm sorry for your loss. This is my first time outside my room so I got a little carried away and didn't control my speed, if there's a way to peacefully solve this then I'm all for it.” explained Leit. 

“What? Your first time outside your room? Do you think I'm going to believe your nonsense?! Why would you keep yourself cooped up in your room your entire life?”

“Huh, I was… practicing! Yes, I was practicing. I started practicing when I was seven years old and I'm now eighty two years old. I've been practicing for seventy five years and a few days ago, I was enlightened and my strength rose from F-Rank all the way to B-Rank. That's why I'm behind the times.” said Leit calmly.

“Wait a minute, you're a B-Rank Awakener?!” exclaimed the bird headed man. 

‘Phew, fortunately you didn't ask me to explain how I got enlightened.’ thought Leit. 

“I'm a Low B-Rank Awakener.” answered Leit. 

“Really, then would you like to join my team and become a mercenary? We travel a lot so you'll come across a lot of unbelievable things, make friends and go to different planets. Someday, we can even go to Earth where all the strong people live.”

The bird headed man was no fool and wasn't a mercenary leader for no reason. From the little information that Leit gave them, he collected it all and created a larger web then connected the dots. From Leit's bumpkin-like appearance, no devices on his person and lack of strength control, he deduced that what Leit said was mostly the truth.

“Earth?! I went to go to Earth, take me there!” said Leit with glowing eyes. 

“Join our mercenary group first.”

“Okay, I agree to be a part of your mercenary group now take me to Earth!” said Leit. 

“Calm down. I'll explain everything to you on the way, let's talk while we walk.” said the bird headed man and began to explain everything to Leit. 

It turned out to be far more complicated to enter planet Earth. Firstly, you had to have not just a lot of money but also connection with people in high places because there were only two ways to go to Earth, either with a spaceship or with a teleportation channel which was very expensive. Secondly, one had to be an A-Rank Awakener or just one A-Rank Awakener in a group would suffice and thirdly, you had to register at the Awakener Association and have a clear record.

    The Awakeners Association had its base deeper in the city in a cool looking spiral building with glass from the doors, to the walls, to the roof, it was just glass. The bird headed man whose name was Goma led Leit inside the building. “Mr Goma, I'm the one who'll be assisting you in your teammates assessment, please follow me this way please.” said a rat headed person wearing a suit. While chatting, Goma had also made an assessment appointment with the Awakeners Association. Making an appointment saved time and the process was very quick. Goma and his group were led to a huge room with a black pillar with a radius of fifty meters and a height of a hundred meters. Beside the pillar was a treadmill designed machine and beside that was a massive transparent orb that levitated in the air. Leit was first asked some general questions, had his fingerprints and blood taken and even a voice recording and eye scan. After that was done, it was finally time to test his rank.

    Leit and the two girls travelled so deep into the forest that they actually found an Orc tribe with many C-Rank Orc Warriors. Orcs were also green in colour but much taller and muscular than both goblins and humans. Orcs were a race that loved war and battle so their battle IQ was extremely high and their bodies were built for war. Leit spied on them from afar and listened to Sally's explanation about this race of two metre tall humanoid creatures. “The Orc Tribe is a Matriarchal based society, this in itself tells you just how terrifying female Orcs are. Even though they are much smaller and slimmer than male orcs, they are much more vicious and cruel than the male orcs. I heard that orcs only mate once a year and females fight it out for the males in the tribe. The males in the tribe will then copulate with the females that choose them. The male harem can be as small as four males and as big as ten or more but only for that one day.”Leit carefully observed the female orcs and the

    Leit didn't know what the Matriarch Orc said but after she spoke, the mood suddenly changed and the female orcs looks at each other warily but still walked towards Leit. Suddenly, one of the orcs pulled out a hidden knife from her thigh and attacked the orc closest to her and severed her neck. After she made the move, all the other orcs made their move and started killing each other. Leit was confused by their actions because all the orcs were beautiful but his mind was suddenly taken to another place when the Matriarch Orc went on her knees and started giving him a blow job. “Mhmm~” Leit moaned in pleasure and closed his eyes. He didn't want the fighting and killing to ruin his enjoyment. While in bliss, the orcs continued to kil each other in cruel ways like decapitation, mutilation, cutting open heads with wraps on the ground, cutting open the stomach and guts pouring out and other kind of cruel ways. Their speed was very close to that of Leit and it was due to their ranks that

That's Two Straws, a High C-Ranker with exquisite Knife Skills. It's said that he could skin you alive and you wouldn't even notice. I'm only a Low C-Ranker and you're all D-Rankers, trust me, we aren't his match, especially when it's dark.”“Boss, look over there, it's a campfire! Should we go over and ask for help?

Hunting Chameleon is one of many assassin organisations that exist not just on Mars but also all over the solar system. What's different about our organisation is that we target anyone with money or is wealthy. Your target can either die or buy their life from you and you have to abide by only these two rules.
