"Leveling up is getting more and more difficult with only the daily quests, and Arkon and Sylgard can't leveled up with me," Sora finished putting his stats points and began to consider a new problem.
Arkon and Sylgard left his shadow and appeared in his room.
They seemed curious about the place their master lived in.
It was the first time Sora let them leave his shadow, because on the hospital there were many eyes and it was dangerous.
While the two shadows explore every corner of the little room, Sora checked their levels.

"Wow! They are old!" Sora exclaimed with surprised.
Sylgard seemed to react to the sudden comment of Sora and look at him for some seconds. Sora didn't notice because he was looking for a way to help them level up.
"Sora!" Someone called him.
Sylgard and Arkon quickly hide in his shadow and Sora opened the door of his room.
The one who called his name was Rasha, who seemed more timid than the last time he met her.
"Ma'am Diana told me that you have returned, and I looked for you… how are you doing?" She asked sheepishly .
Sora smiled warmly.
"I am ok, don't worry and thanks for asking, Rasha," Sora answered her.
"Well, if that the case, come with me," Rasha began to pull his shirt softly.
She was as cute as ever!
Sora nodded and followed her.
After walking for some time, Rasha brought Sora to one of the gardens. There, his "generation" was talking lively. Only to people were missing: Rose and Heller. They were fighting inside the Shadow Underground Base dungeon to get some points and items that monsters usually dropped.
"Congratulations from being released from the hospital!" Everyone cheerly said.
Sora smiled, his family was a good one.
Viktor looked at Sora. Sora noticed Viktor's gaze and saw him more timid than before.
Sora gesticulated, "Are you alright?"
Viktor nodded and returned the question to Sora who also nodded.
Sora knew that their experience in that dungeon, that was now catalogue as a B-Rank dungeon mainly for the numbers than the levels of the monsters, was something that got them terrified. However, Sora was now a dungeon master, so for the same reason he maintained his calm even if he was completely terrified of their situation.
It was different for Viktor, who always was carefree. He felt that they were facing their end at that moment.
The small party continued.
They ate the food Jin and Finn brought. It was perfect as long as they didn't eat the things Ma'am Diana gave them.
"Alright! Everyone! Listen to me!" Jin told them after enjoying the delicious food.
All the kids looked at him waiting for his words.
"I have other news! They may be sad, but its better for that person. He will be in a better ambient than this orphanage. Viktor is leaving today with his big brother Ivankov. He is going to Russia," Jin gave the news and saw that everyone was showing a complicated expression.
They were happy for Viktor because his brother finally could get the permission for both governments to take his younger brother with him, however, they were sad that Viktor was leaving the orphanage.
Kids leaving the orphanage was common, but it was the first, well, the second time this little family was experimenting the sudden leave of someone.
"Viktor Petrov, your brother is here to pick you up. Your luggage is already prepared," Ma'am Diana's voice sounded from the door.
She was standing up next to the frame of the door, and on her left was the bag with Viktor's belongings.
"I-I'll remember you all, and also miss you!" Viktor hugged them.
Sora was the most surprised one with the news and sudden leave of Viktor, because of he being at the hospital for 40 days.
"Take care Sora, hope we see each other again as hunters!" Viktor hugged him and told him with a bright smile.
Sora didn't know how to answer him and just nodded.
"Petrov!" Ma'am Diana was not a patient person.
"Take care!" Everyone said to him with a smile.
Rasha and Dolores were crying, but also said good bye to him.
After everything was cleaned up, everyone left to do what they always do.
Sora was leaving again to his room, but Jin stopped him.
"I remember that everything happened when you were shopping with Rose, but you lost some things, like that black jacket. I'll take you now," Jin smiled and told him the reason why he stopped him.
"Alright, thanks!" Sora smiled gratefully.
Jin took Sora like he said, and went shopping.
Of course, Jin let Sora chose whatever he wanted, he wasn't like Rose. However, the real reason for him to take Sora to buy clothes, was that Jin wanted to observe again Sora's shadow.
After the System gave him that message, Jin was careful with his guild not to notice. He even lied about his new position in the ranking. He knew that the "clue" he got, was related to Sora, more accurate, Sora's shadow.
He wanted to know what happened to Sora inside that dungeon. Jin knew that something was different with Sora the moment he woke up and talked to them. That strange scene of everyone answering him was shocking.
The more Jin watched Sora, the more he suspected that Sora was possessed by a shadow, a strong one, and that the group didn't notice because of Sora being faint.
Ping!

"Again?" Sora thought while looking at Jin who was lost in his thoughts, "But I didn't do anything this time nor Sylgard and Arkon…" Sora continued looking for clothes.
The reason he was taking so long to choose clothes compared to two months ago, was that now he knew he could sell them at the [Shop].
After some time pass, Jin didn't get more clues and was afraid of the suspicion he had.
Sora chose two black jackets, one with a cap and another without a cap, two black T-shirts and a white one. He also chose some underwear (remember what happened to the one he had) and two pairs of jeans, one of them was black while the other one was dark blue.
Jin payed for them and then took back to Sora to the orphanage, however, before they arrived, he took Sora to a park that was close.
"Sora, you can trust me. Did something happened to you inside that dungeon?" Jin asked directly.
Sora looked at the worried face of Jin and knew that he was really worried for him.
"I was chased by a horde of shadows, and… while running… I didn't see the hunters and continued running for my life," Sora didn't like to lie, but he didn't want Jin know his secret.
Sora didn't know how he could explain what was happening to him.
Jin felt that Sora was hiding something but he couldn't demonstrate anything.
"Ok, let's go. Rose and Heller have returned and want to see you before they go to their homes," Jin stood up and took Sora to the orphanage.
Suddenly, Sora thought of something and looked at Jin.
"Can anyone enter the dungeon?" Sora asked.
"Yes, but they'll never let a kid of your age ingress. If sis Rose hear you she'll kill you," Jin answered in a joking tone.
"Of course I'll not return!" Sora told Jin while thinking and shivering about Rose's reaction.
They arrived at the orphanage, and saw that Rose got some bruises on her arms and Heller had a bandage around his left arm and right hand.
Heller was a close combat fighter, one of the warriors' classes.
"Sora! You're finally back. Rose was worried about you!" Heller ran towards Sora and shook his hair with his wounded hand.
"It's good to see you in a better state," Rose smiled, always calm as ever.
"You two got some injuries, why does Rose don't heal them?" Jin got a bit worried after looking at Rose's injuries. He completely ignored Heller.
"The battle was intense. The guild's uppers said that something change in the shadows' usual behavior. After that, we were attack by five night creatures," Rose explained to Jin while Sora listened quietly.
"There was a VAMPIRE between them! It was like it was commanding them!" Heller added to Rose explanation.
"A vampire?" Sora thought, and then said to the three hunters, "I'll return to my room and sleep. Good night everyone!"
"Good night Sora, take care of yourself," Rose smiled at him with her beautiful face.
"Good night little Sora!" Heller said joking.
"Rest well," Jin simply said while in deep thought because of Rose's and Heller's report.
Sora returned to his room.
* * * * * * * * *
Finn, Heller, Jin and Rose were in the same guild. The guild's name was…
It was one of the strongest in the country. It was on the 10th place in the ranking.
"So you found a VAMPIRE… this is the second one that appeared during the event and only two months have passed. I assume that the difficulty of the Event is going to increase with the appearance of this monsters," Jin began to talk with them about the information the Hunter's Organization released.
"Yes, but those VAMPIRES are not the strongest ones between their branch. I believe that their are the weakest and that they weren't the ones commanding the other night creatures. Remember that there are different species in that group, and the majority don't have a lot of intelligence," Rose remembered.
"I agree with Rose, the monsters that attacked us were like zombies," Heller said while frowning.
"Also, I have something to talk with you about Sora, let's wait for Finn to arrive. I just call him to come.

"Let's check the details again about the event. I now know that they are completely different from the hunter's," Sora opened the Event Notice and re-read the details.
