" We have arrive at Northern gateway"
The announcement was heard by every passanger, people who wanted to abort the bus started leaving one by one.
" Finally arrived "
Ryan has finally arrived at the northern gateway of the City. He took the earliest bus so it was still morning when he reached the gateway.
Even though it was ten in the morning people were seen moving in and out from the main gateway. Heavy vehicles with supply were seen every now and then, their were also people with military dress as well as people wearing armour were moving, it was quite a busy place. Allen City has four gateways while the whole City is surrounded by huge twenty meter fortress wall's.
Ever since the awakening five hundred year's ago, the planet experienced a major turn of events, not only people's but everythings like tree's, animal, soil etc... receive the ability to evolve. It became dangerous for people's to survive, humans were usually attacked by man eating monsters. But with great effort they survived and adapted so well that humanity again gain the right to rule the planet.
Even though major monster's are killed by the army or the great families. Their are still monsters present in the woods as they evolving quickly due to their awakening, so the higher ups made it an business for themselves and as well as new sector for people with lower Stander of power to survive.
' Monster Hunting'
Monster hunting became one of the major way for the average ability user to earn money. It is a dangerous job, every now and then people lose their lives in the woods but it was still less dangerous then going to unknown planet's, making it a very famous job within the lower group of society.
Ryan didn't waste around and went to the security check buth, every person who wants to enter the forest they have to inform the security about it, so if they went missing or killed in the woods, they could inform their family members about their well being.
He took out his smartphone and gave it to guards, as they checked his ID on the PC. The guard went through his data and looked at Ryan, with a doubtful face and asked.
" Are you sure, you want to go alone in the woods kid? "
" Yes Sir !" He responded with a determined tone.
Hearing his reply and confidence tone, the guard didn't asked any further and checked in his data in the server of the database.
" Kid I have inputted your data, I have also installed a software in your phone which show's the map of the forest area, it also differentiate the highly dangerous area from the safe area, so follow it accordingly"
" Yes thank you so much"
Witnessing the kindness of the guard, Ryan was really happy. He replyed back with ninety degree bow.
" Don't mention it kid, I also have child around your age, so I was just helping out a little bit I could, also wear this wrist watch it will allow us to track you incase of emergency as well as show us your vital signature, informing us that you are still alive, it will also allow us to send you any danger signal"
Ryan responded back with a nod as he looked at the black watch in his hand. He also paid attention to every instructions he may get from the guards, as his own life will be on the risk inthe forest.
"Okey now, move on kid others are still waiting behind you and also be careful in the woods" The guard said as he returns Ryan's phone as well as the wrist watch.
Hearing the dissatisfied sound's coming from the back, Ryan also didn't waste around he took back his phone from the guard and moved towards the highly guarded gateway.
While walking he looked at his black bracelet type watch for few sec and wore it. The moment it got contact with the his skin, a small red light started glowing on it surface, it also displayed his vital signatures other then that their nothing more to the watch.
He moved forward towards main gateway.
The guards looked at him for a sec and went back to their own duty. They were already used to their duty, and in the process they have seen many youngsters going in to the forest. They either return with scared heart or as a dead body.
It was a obvious outcome as most of the highly potential kid's are already selected by the army or the big families.
And the one's who missed thier chance try to prove themselves by showing their skills in the woods but usually they remained the same.
And incase of Ryan he already belived that he will not survive in the woods. They didn't even believe for a sec that he'll survive with his small thin body due to which they didn't even waste they're time talking about him and went back to his own work.
Ryan who was oblivious to their thoughts move towards the gateway which was covered with a blue film.
The blue flim was the force field created by the high technology of the military. They were strong enough withstand the full on attack of a High tier monsters.
Ryan stood infront of it for a little while as he looked at the dark forest in the front.
' Dark Forest '
It is a dangerous forest, even if the military did their job regularly their were still case's in which hunter's lost their lives inthe forest.
Ryan took a deep breath and went towards the blue filme of the force field, His watch beeped a green light giving him access to move through the force field.
He looked in the dark and gloomy forest as he walked towards it.
" Good Luck Kid "
The guard in the buth muttered as he looked at the silhouette of the boy, disappearing in the dark forest.
****
Ryan moved slowly, as he looked around the bushes around him.
He took out the dagger that made from a wasted iron, three days ago. It wa not perfect, but for him it was all he got.
Waving it a few time, he went further inside the bushes with great caution.
Swish. Swish.
Moving between the bushes he heard some sound from the bushes ahead of him.
Ryan hide behind the near by tree and moved towards the sources, as stealthily as possible.
After arriving a little over five meter, he jumped forward, as he aimed the dagger straight for it's head. The monster was caught of guard, it tried to avoid it but still Ryan's dagger went straight in it's chest.
Stabbing it's chest, Ryan slit his palm from the impaled dagger and let it flow inside its body. He didn't got scared as everything was going according to his plan.
The blood flowed through the dagger s
decaying the dagger and the wound of the beast. The monster tried to resist it but all went in vain as the decaying property of the blood was so great that within seconds it heart and other internal organs got melted in to disgusting guo.
The monster screamed in it's beastly voices but still died in the end.
Ryan observe the whole process with up most concentration , he looked in his phone and watch the time required for the whole monster to be digested by his blood.
Ryan didn't get repulsive by the whole process as it was his own ability, which he got after so much torture.
" This is my power "
