108 Chapter 1: A Personal Touch to This World of Hunters (1/2)

Ripple, Mana lightly touched the surface of the pool and smiled as he head titled.

You're not going to Continue watching

”No,” Mana said as she touched the pool again and a different image appeared. ”I had my eye on his child for a while.” She said as she looked at the scruff beaten Young man that was being reflected in the pool.

Are you going to Transverse?

”Of course Not, at least no until Chrysanthemum is done.”

What are you going to do? With Him?

”I'm going to add a personal touch to his story…. I going to change the original names as well as a few other things” she said boldly.

But that's….

”I'm doing what I want to do.”

...You're shameless

”And you still going to write it.” her eyes glittered with a turquoise hue.

”Besides what can anyone do to me.”

…..

A phenomenon known as ”the gate” opened up 50 years ago and with that humanity gained mysterious ability's that certain individuals used to hunt the monster from the Gates. They are known as Hunters, and soon they became the sole force that would push back the creatures of a gate and leading heroes of the current modern world.

The is story takes place in 2029, Korea that had been united due to the extreme pressure from the gates during the first years it opened.

Sun Tae-Young an E-rank Hunter, a title that followed him around helplessly. Something in which he couldn't help. He was a week hunter who always got hurt even at the weakest dungeon. But what he didn't have in strength he had in determination and the fortitude to continue going. No matter what dangers that lied ahead of him he had a family to support Afterall he couldn't stop now.

Even if the pay was disappointing, he had to stay since the Hunter association was supporting his sick mother. Otherwise, he would have been quit and gotten a regular job in the office somewhere.

Tae walked toward the other hunter who was gathered by the hunter association for this supervised D-rank gate. He only recognized a few people who nodded at him. But other than that, they paid him no mind, not even the healers.

The appointed leader of this group was a hot-blooded old man, Tae noted as he walked out to grab a cup of coffee which turned out that there wasn't any left. The man apologized but didn't make Tae feel any better.

The group entered the dungeon after they got their refreshments.

Mana smiled as one of her tears fell from her face. It started to float toward the center of the pool and into Elfin. The glowing orb expanded and brightened as Mana stood up and sat on the edge of the fountain and continued to watch with a mischievous smile on her face.

It wasn't long before the hunters started fighting a monster and Tae getting hurt but healed by one of the nearby female healers. Tae followed the group helplessly with the only one low-level magical core he could earn from the clash of monster.

They finally stopped at a Cave which seemed to continue, making the leader of the group Speak.

”So, it's a double dungeon” Someone whispered

”Hey, Everyone, the gate does not close until the Boss dies. Since the gate is still opened the boss it still alive, right now, we can either go back to the Association and have them do it, or we can take care of the boss itself. So, let's vote” he said, ”Raise hands if you want to go back to the association.”

Eight people had raised their hands

”Okay now raise your hands if you want to fight it ourselves”

Another Eight people raised their hands

”Eight to Eight” The leader seemed to think before he looked at Tae who was looking down. The leader seemed to have noticed that he didn't vote. ”Hey, E-ranker. What's your vote”?

Tae thought to himself for a moment ”I'm going” he said with determination.

After walking down, the cave they came across a big blue door and conversations started among them

”It's strange.”

”Something feels wrong.”

”Yeah, doesn't something feel old about this”

”It feels like someone is watching us.”
