Kyle started to run down the mountain, the hidden portal is something he found during the times he was training in the mountains, and not even a single person came near that place, so he made that place his training spot.
Kyle took the first step, putting all the power he could, wanting to return home immediately but instead he crashed into the trees, making him confused as the strength he had now is something he should be able to control...but he can't.
[Host, the strength you have now is what you could control.....but it doesn't mean you could easily use the full strength of that, you have to start slowly and gain control like that.]
Kyle nodded, understanding that he took the things way too calmly, 'Looks like I could use the time to reach home as training...'
He then started to run slowly down the mountain, while also increasing his speed at a constant phase when he felt like he had full control over his strength. And in just some minutes, he earned full control over his speed, making him confused, 'Isn't it too easy....to gain control like this...'
[Host, you are wrong here....you are the Ruler of [Blank] so, if you need time to take control over this measly increase in your strength, then you could forget about becoming a real Ruler....]
Kyle looks at the screen in front of him, which showed a disappointed expression, 'Looks like I have more perks now....and it seems that the previous increase was too much for me....'.
"I see....and Eve, could you just talk in my head...."
[But, I am talking in your head the whole time, Host, it's due to my structure that you heard it as it comes from outside..]
Kyle stopped speaking, becoming lost in his thoughts but his body moved at a constant speed while showing reflections of the surroundings, 'Looks like I don't have to worry about things like that then.....as it would be weird talking to yourself....wait...I could feel the weirdness now...huh...'
[It's because you are naturally affected by your emotions too much, Host, due to the life you had lived till now, making you a very emotional person, and this is like a part of you, giving you more emotions within a small passage of time....]
"I see....."
Kyle then stopped talking and focused on running out of the mountain, and it took him only 10 minutes to get out, but generally, it took him 30 to 40 minutes to climb to the top.
Kyle paused at the bottom of the mountain, looking at the path from where he came from, with a confused expression,
"Eve...is there something wrong with this mountain, and is it related to that gate at the top?"
[Yes, Host, but I advise you to find about it yourself, but I could say that it will be helpful to you.]
Kyle nodded, he was also planning the same, but he was curious about the mountain which no one traveled in.
[Congratulations! The host earned a new skill! Sprint.]
[Sprint- A passive skill
A skill that improves the posture of the Host's body, helping the Host gain max efficiency while running. This skill helps the Host earn more speed than he could.
Note- Being a Passive Skill, it doesn't require the use of any energy.]
[Turn ON/OFF]
Kyle looks at the screen which appeared in front of him, and reading through that, he quickly clicked On, and felt something in him change, like he felt himself becoming one with the wind, and he could run even faster, 'Well, I have another thing to ask Eve about....'
And started to run in the direction of his Apartment.
['Looks like Host still put more importance on his family, than himself....he felt his entire body change a little but still decided to visit his family first, not asking the reason..... his personality only matched only a single previous Host...the rest were just some power-hungry, or some wanted to have the pleasure that the strength bought...I hope this time, my Host doesn't walk on that path....']
Kyle stopped in front of the city gate, in this world, if you want to enter a new city, you need to enter through the gate, while having proper identification, since the last time intelligent monster showed up.
Kyle walked in the line, his clothes were also restored to their previous condition when Eve healed him, preparing the tear mark and blood when the sword entered his chest.
The moment Kyle appeared in front of the gate, he attracted all the attention to himself, even before he got Eve and become stronger, he always become the symbol of attraction, no matter where he went due to his face...but now, with his brown hair, his blood-red eyes, shining in coldness along with the tattoo mark on the left side of his face, which complemented his body, which is now fully bulked up, like a bodybuilder, but with a limit, and his body lines showed completely, with his previous clothes, which are somewhat tight now.
"Is he some high-ranked or some star?!"
"I think I saw him before....."
"Hey! Do you think he is single?!"
"I am going to him first!"
Kyle heard all that, and felt all the gazes on him, making him turn his head, looking directly in the eyes of everyone, making them shudder from how cold his eyes seemed to them, but some girls or most of them started to blush, and screaming loudly,
"Kyaa! He looked at me!"
"Ha..ha...ha look at those cold eyes!!"
"Look at me!!"
While men are lowering their eyes, from the cold aura and Kyle's face, making them feel inferior.....
Kyle shook his head, 'Are there only fools filled here..?'
[Sigh...Host, you become more handsome than you already were, and your demonic bloodline makes your body more attractive....]
'I see...it could become a problem....', Kyle thought, but quickly ignored that as he had more important things to do now.
Since Kyle's eyes scanned over everyone, no one came near him, and if someone did, a single glance from him made them run away.....this much cold he becomes now.
Soon, Kyle turn came, and he took his Hunter I'd, giving it to the guard, who looks over it, while also scanning, but again looked at Kyle with a shocked expression...the picture of Kyle in the I'd card is way too much different than he looked.
Kyle seeing the look on the guards face immediately spoke,
"I have yet to update my I'd."
The guard shudder, hearing Kyle's voice this much close along with the coldness in it...he felt like standing in the middle of a glacier naked...and started to shiver.
Kyle seeing that put his hand on the guard's shoulder, waking him up to reality, but immediately lowered his head, not daring to look into Kyle's eyes again.
"I-i understand, S-sir! you c-could p-pass..!"
Kyle nodded, taking his ID back, and entered the city through the gate.
Meanwhile, another guard came beside the one who talked with Kyle, and patted his back, asking,
"Are you alright?"
Even if they are guards and hunters, they are weak, and the strong hunters released pressure from their bodies, overwhelming the weaker ones, so he thought the same happened with his partner, he then looked at Kyle's info still showing on the screen, and seeing the name and picture, his eyes showed surprise,
"Isn't he the 'Eternal Ranker'!?"
Hearing his loud voice, the first guard lifted his face, looking at the name and picture of Kyle, making his eyes open wide...
Meanwhile, Kyle entering the city quickly went and found a taxi, and knocked on the window, which quickly went down, and the middle-aged driver asked, in an annoyed tone,
"Where?"
"Take me to the Martin Apartments, outskirts of the city."
The driver shudder, looking into Kyle's eyes and hearing his cold voice, and replied in a fearful tone,
"Yes! please sit in the backseat."
Kyle nodded, not speaking anything, and directly entered the backseat, and sat there, and then said,
"Take me there quickly...."
The driver nodded and started the car, but before he started driving, a girl around 18 to 19 years old arrived and directly sat in the backseat, said to the driver,
"Uncle! Please take me to the Martin Apartments quickly!"
The driver looked at Kyle, who nodded his head but remain quiet. The girl seeing that turned at Kyle, looking at his face, stars appeared in her eyes, but only for a second before she quickly turned towards the driver who answered her,
"No problem, miss!"
The girl nodded her head, and the driver started the car and started to drive while occasionally looking at the back mirror, but stopped when Kyle looked at him through the mirror.
Kyle then sat there, closing his eyes, but inside, he was thinking about what happened, 'Looks like I have to be more careful from now on....and I can't just run through the city..else it would bring suspicion on me, which I will avoid for now....and, Mother and Sister would be too worried right now...if I knew it would have taken me this much time, then I should have done it on a later date, or informed them...."
Meanwhile, the girl sitting beside Kyle looked at him, and then at her phone, showing his picture but before the upgrades, 'Yup! It's Kyle!....but what happened to him...and it seems like he is going back home now...I hope that Emma and Aunty are alright...I should first inform her, as she was about to call the police...'.
