VERNER: The Devil Hunter Blood red flames
Sunflower Village, 8 years ago The bright full moon lit up the night sky, the sun had just set an hour ago and young Verner was in trouble; "Mom is going to kill me!!" he cried and he ran home as fast as he could, sweating heavily. His mother had sent him to get some spices from a nearby market away from the village earlier, but he got carried away by street games and lost track of time. He was really late and had to run as fast as he could before the night got even lonelier. Bats whistled, crickets chirped, owls hooted, the young night was filled with sounds, but as Verner got closer to home, they disappeared slowly, making the journey even scarier "My legs hurt..." he muttered, he stopped to take a break and breathe, sweat dripping from his smooth little boy face. His legs were hurting terribly and so he had to start walking instead of running because he was too tired. All of a sudden, the quiet night became louder, a lot louder, not from bats and crickets, but people, people cry
VERNER: The Devil Hunter To be a devil hunter...
Willow Valley, Present day. "I'll get him this time, this is the best chance I've got". Verner said as he tied a rope to a trap he just set in the forest pathway, waiting for master Rodric to walk by. It's been 8 years since that night, the night he lost his mother, the night his hometown, sunflower village was burnt to the ground. Verner was now 15 and had spent all these years growing and training to be a devil hunter just like master Daegan, the hunter who saved him from the fire that night. Daegan raised and trained Verner personally until he was 12, then handed him over to Rodric, his disciple, in order to help Verner learn from other people as well, but Rodric had other ideas. "I'll prove to him that I don't need any Qi or powers to be a powerful hunter, and I'll do it by beating his ass today". Verner tied the ropes with a sinister smile as he applied finishing touches to his set of traps. Master Rodric walked this path everyday to get to his tea plantation and a set of tra
VERNER: The Devil Hunter Thunder Flash Spear
The sun was shining very brightly on the green leaves in Willow valley which were looking even fresher with water droplets from the morning dew. Verner was back home after his horribly failed attempt to ambush master Rodric. He couldn't help but think about Rodric's challenge. It sounded very casual but there was a huge chance that he wasn't going to be alive by this time tomorrow. He sat in the dojo behind the house, staring at all the swords and weapons hung on the wall. Many of them were enchanted; weapons that have been laced with Qi or spells to give them special abilities. He had only ever used regular weapons during training, but if he was going to survive the night, he had to burrow some of them. "Rodric wouldn't mind if I took a thing or two". He took a bunch of pocket blades and fixed them inside his coat, then he glanced over the swords until he chose one that had a metallic blue coloured blade with a spell inscribed on it. "Thunder flash spear", he read out, slightly con
VERNER: The Devil Hunter The Devil at daytime
" One...two...three..." Verner counted as he waited for whatever was in the bushes to attack him, his sword almost drown out completely, and then... 'SLASH!!!'He whipped his sword out and slashed the air, expecting a way bigger target, but it was just a rabbit, it ran between his legs and hopped off into the bushes again. "Phew..." he picked up his basket and hung it on his back "can't believe I was actually afraid of a bunny" he thought. He wiped sweat off his forehead as he continues his journey home, but he began to hear the rustling sounds again, this time a lot more precise. He paused and looked around, drew his sword out completely this time. "Hello...is anybody there?". The forest was silent, only the birds were chirping, but he wasn't going to let his guard down, he was very sure someone was creeping on him. He stood still, holding his sword with both arms, waiting to strike, and that's when he noticed some vines twisting around his legs, but it was too late... 'GBAM!!...G
VERNER: The Devil Hunter The Six elements
Rodric stood on a hill and looked over the tea plantation, he watched as a few locals picked leaves and put in the baskets hung on their backs, with straw hats to shield their faces from the sun. Rodric owned a large strip of the plantation, and made a lot of money from here. Being one of the Sentinels in the guardian society, Rodric had the luxury of never being sent on missions or to track devils, that was for scouts and majors, sentinels only watched over their home lands, run the business of their respective clans and only get summoned to fight in other lands if a black grade devil or higher emerges. "That kid, I don't even know why I agreed to train him", Rodric rubbed his little purple goatee, his long dark purple hair was covered by his straw hat. "I and Daegan have sold him a dream that will never come true, now he's gonna die young, for nothing" Rodric's face turned very sour, he was deep in thought. "Even if I drop the challenge and force him to shut up I can't protect him
VERNER: The Devil Hunter I'm not special
"Thunder Flash Spear... RELEASE!!!"In a split second, Brogan's saw a flash of lightning blitz past him, then Verner appeared behind him, taking the exact same stance he did before the flash attack. "What is this, I can't move my body, how did he pull this off?". Brogan thought, he tried harder to move but couldn't. "Everything...the world seems to be in slow motion, including my body", he noticed a bug that was flying past him, except that it was frozen in mid air. "I only saw a flash of lightning and the boy just disappeared, if my theory is correct, and what I've heard is true, then..." "After lightning...comes the thunder"'GBOOMM!!!' A roaring thunder sound exploded through the air and a massive slash opened on his chest, the rocks that coated his arms broke into pieces at the same time. The thunder flash, an attack so fast his body didn't even sense that it had been cut, and this brat with no Qi just pulled it off. "Did I just...lose?" he asked himself as he collapsed to h
VERNER: The Devil Hunter Sunset
The sun slowly faded away in the evening sky, the night drew nearer and nearer, with it's devils that dance under the moon and stars, and eat any human that they come across. Rodric walked back home, he walked through the same path he followed in the morning, the path he followed every day, he scoffed when he came across the traps Verner set earlier in the morning. "I wonder what he's up to" Rodric said as he continued to walk home, feeling a little uneasy, a little guilty. "It's part of the training...it's part of the training" he repeated, trying to make himself feel less guilty, even though he knew he wasn't supposed to be. He arrived at his house, it was very quiet, unusually quiet, "aren't the boys home?" he started feeling uneasy again, but then... "Honey...you're home" Amah came out of the door, combing her long black hair, she leaned for a kiss but he didn't respond. "Why are the boys so quiet?""The ate a little too much this afternoon, so they fell asleep early" "Where's
VERNER: The Devil Hunter The Devils' dance
Pine grove valley, 3 nights ago. The half moon in the night sky was shining brighly over the little village. Most families had already locked their doors and shut themselves off for the night as they heard rumors of a devil in the mountains. Their only source of confidence was that a sentinel hunter lived in willow valley which was a few kilometers away, probably why only a few devils dared to come close to the village, but that wasn't enough. Tito, a man was riding on his bicycle through the forest path with his 9 year old daughter seated at his front, he elongated the bike saddle so both of them could sit properly, they were coming back home after a good day at the market and the sun had set just an hour ago. "Dad I'm scared..." the girl said."It's ok Nina...nothing will happen, we're just a little late, we'll be home any minute from now" he comforted his daughter. He was terrified too, the nights these days were so quiet because everyone got into their homes as soon as the sun
