Chapter 4 - Invisible Hunter

One can become a certified or registered hunter, either through Hunter Training Center(HTC) or one can take a Hunter Examination anytime 24/7 anyday at the regional HDO, Hunter of Dungeons Organization. Every registered hunter must have a Hunter Smart Watch.

Hunter Smart Watch is a versatile piece of equipment. This type of technology was impossible 200 years ago but now, due to the advances in Mana Research, Technology is evolving to the point of it becoming magical. Never imagined things in the early 21st century are possible now. Possible is an understatement. Most of those things must have been implemented already.

Hunter Smart Watch is one of such masterpieces it has over 20,000 applications already installed and more than a billion applications to be installed. All these applications designed and developed for the Hunter Smart Watch are signed and approved by the Hunter of Dungeons Organization themselves.

One of such applications is the Regional News Feed, through which you can see the news broadcast of various news channels.

Unlike Royal Consortium, where privacy is non-existent, Federal Republic is a nation which prides itself in privacy.

In hindsight, tracking hunters' location has always been a tricky thing for the politicians. They don't want the hunters to rebel, so they unanimously gave hunters the Right of Privacy. This Act has a clause states that hunters who enter a dungeon, won't need to record their names on the Smart Capture Devices in front of all Dungeons. They just need to show that they are registered hunters to the Smart Capture Device. This happens automatically. When one enters a dungeon, it scans their body in almost an instant for a Hunter Smart Watch and notifies the guards whether the hunter is registered or not. Non-registered hunters are quite common in Dungeons. But if a Non-registered hunter clears a dungeon, which usually never happens, it causes a commotion in public.

Sharing the information of clearing a dungeon is a lucrative business. All the Intelligence Companies look forward to such hunters, ready to sell important information so these companies can sell them. Clearing a dungeon is a thing to be proud of, it can give you opportunities to build connections with senior hunters and bring you to the spotlight.

Hence, Non-registered hunters are hunted by the public, who are curious about these elusive people so capable.

[ NV Hunters Central News Channel ]

If a hunter opened their Regional News Feed on their Hunter Smart Watch or any civilian who has access to the Regional News Feed by various devices open their Regional News Feed, they could watch the Breaking News by the [ NV Hunters Central News Channel ], which is the go-to news source for all hunters in the City of NV.

"As many of our viewers have been following our news series 'Pursuit of the Invisible Hunter' for the past three years, you may all know that this is about a strong Non-registered hunter. This hunter is known to have a very high speed that he passes through the Smart Capture Device can only record that he is a Non-registered hunter. Before the guards could even see the person he is nowhere to be found. After a few hours, the dungeon he enters lights up showing that someone cleared the dungeon."

"All of the Dungeons except the [ Ogre's Lair ] in NV City seem to have been cleared by this elusive hunter. Public wants to know the identity of this hunter. He seems to be invisible from the public eye. No one has ever seen or even could take a glance at him. He always avoids to hunt monsters which are near a hunting party. Only after all the parties are relatively far away from the Dungeon Boss, he will hunt it. This is the reason for why public has coined the term, 'Invisible Hunter' for this Non-registered Hunter."

"As for people arguing 'Invisible Hunter' has discovered the secret of becoming invisible, all of that is totally untrue. Both the Federal Republic and Royal Consortium have been researching about invisibility for the past 120 years but could not figure it out. Both have spent trillions of Mana stones for it and you believe some hunter without any resources nor knowledge can figure out invisibility? It seems like a fairy tail to me!" (A/N: I don't want to change the typo tail -> tale)

"Those who believe that this person's Intelligence attribute has to be more than 5000 is even more unbelievable. The highest ever recorded Intelligence recorded is 1029. Surely you won't believe someone has that high intelligence stat and a very high agility stat? I think we might be talking about one of the strongest people on Earth. Why would one of the strongest people on Earth come to City NV just to clear low level dungeons? Anyone can move through Smart Capture Device in milliseconds. If they are already sprinting at full speed that is. We can also see the consistent growth of the 'Invisible Hunter' just from how fast he has been sprinting through the Smart Capture Device."

"Now all of you may be thinking why am I recounting all the known facts about 'Invisible Hunter'? It is because we found out that a hunter similar to 'Invisible Hunter' has been registered. Listen to what I am saying right now. This is historic! According to the Smart Capture Device at [ Ogre's Lair ], a hunter was flagged as 'Invisible Hunter' by the system. The physique, mana and other parameters of this person is same as the 'Invisible Hunter'. The only difference is that this person is a registered hunter! That's right! You all heard that right, there is a very high probability that everyone's favourite 'Invisible Hunter' has been registered."

"According to our theorists, it may even be possible that this hunter may be a graduate of NV Hunter Training Center since this was recorded the day after all the graduates of NV HTC got their Hunter Smart Watches. That's right! You guys, this 'Invisible Hunter' can be a young teenage boy or girl with an age as low as 16 years. This young person has to be one of the biggest talents if our theory is true. This is why we are standing infront of the dungeon, [ Ogre's Lair ] waiting for 'Invisible Hunter' to pass by in hope of getting an interview from this elusive hunter."

"Stay tuned for more on 'Persuit of the Invisible Hunter' as we go through this episode's sponsors."

!!!Baaaam!!!

One of the viewers slamed their Hunter Smart Watch shut and started cursing.

"F*** this! My slow life is getting ruined! What did I do to deserve this???!!!!!"

This was indeed the 'Invisible Hunter' hunting in [ Ogre's Lair ], a HDO-assigned B-grade Dungeon. This 'Invisible Hunter' was indeed soloing the whole dungeon. The 'Invisible Hunter' was indeed a 16 year old boy graduated from HTC.

But, this 'Invisible Hunter' was also the person who had the Intelligence attribute of more than 5000. This 'Invisible Hunter' was also the hunter who figured out the skill 'Invisibility' three years ago, without any resources or 'knowledge' that the researchers had.

This 'Invisible Hunter' was very angry and frustrated at this moment.

Did anyone know the name of 'Invisible Hunter'?

Yes. One person knew this from the start and that person was 'Invisible Hunter' himself. The people around the 'Invisible Hunter', who also know about him do not know about the skill Invisibility Level 20(MAX).

The official name of the 'Invisible Hunter' was of course Theodore Blaze Adams, or more appropriately,

Theodore von Spencer.
