20 Years Ago. Bunch of Unknown Energy Source appear all over the world. People started to take interest of the energy source. But things take turn for the worse when suddenly, that unknown energy source, also known as gate... Pour a lot of monster out into earth...
At first, only few selected individual were chosen to take care of this matters... They're known as the original awakeners. But as time goes on... Many people started to awaken as hunters. The lowest ranked Hunter, usually are stronger than average adults.
So when you become a hunters... Essentially, you are set on life. It doesn't matter what path you chose. You are a hunter. And that's an S Plus. Even if you're D Rank Hunter. The lowest Rank of them all... You are still stronger than most average human...
Currently, There's 6 S Rank Hunters in my Country... Well, technically speaking, 5. Since one of them pass away recently.
Now, S Rank Hunter are so important in this current age that when they died... It becomes a National Holiday. Government give their praises to the S Ranker that has passes away...
Even though it's sad... It gives me, a Student at my last year of high school... A break once in a while... Although... I'm in school right now. Because it's not time for the national holiday to come...
"Alright students. That's all for my time. Don't forget your homework. Put it all on my table later. Good Afternoon."
"Yes Teach! Good Afternoon! Have a nice day!"
Haaa... I really want to get out of school already... Graduation is around the corner... And when that time comes... I want to become a hunter...
I've been training ever since I remember being alive... Every single day... I spend all the break I get to train... I eat healthy, I train hard... I grind my life out so that when I become an awakener... I'm ready... I don't want to become an awakened person without any prior training.... When the time come... I'm going to be ready.
That's what a famous sport legend once says early in his career... So I will do exactly just that. I train my heart out so that when my chance come... I'm ready to go.
"Yoo~ Taiga~"
Guuuh... It's them... The group of 3 people... Three of them are the biggest bully in my school... They're what you call a bastards... The reason being... The leader of the bully... Is an Awakened.
"What do you guys want? I have no money or food. I'm struggling to survive these days."
"I don't care. Bring me 100 Bucks later. I don't care how you get it. Just bring it. If not... You know what I will do to your family~"
Fucker. He's been threatening me using my family lately. My family consist of me, My Mom and My Little Sister that is really smart... Currently, the one who's holding our family together is my Little Sister...
She's a writer. So she gain money from home and provide us food... Even though she didn't know it... I really appreciate her and I'm willing to sacrifice everything to keep her safe. And Mom safe... No matter what the cost...
That's one of the reason why I want to become a Hunter... I want to repay all of the kindness my little sister has given me. And provide better future for both her and mom...
But this fucker... He's using his status as an awakened to threatened people... Everyone is not safe from him. So everyone just look away from my situation. But it's cool.
You can keep forcing me to do something. But when I get my chance... You're the first person I'm beating... I don't care what happen next... I will beat you up to the point where you beg for your life to be ended!
"Alright... I will bring you 100 Bucks later. So, don't bother me."
"Cool. See you after school~"
Jimmy... I swear... Once I become an awakened... I will kill you with my hands... For threatening my family... Your life will be the cost!
Anyway... He left me alone... I walk out of the classroom straight toward the Bathroom to clear out my thoughts...
And then suddenly... A Small earthquake hits the school...
"Hmm? What just happen?"
I don't know what's happening right now... I'm just taking a wee and suddenly a small quake hit the school? I hope everyone is alright... Anyway... I clean myself and then as I'm washing my hand...
"GYUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
I hear the loudest, sharpest, and highest pitch scream that I ever heard... Chills comes down by spine... Cold Sweats just comes out all of the sweat glands...
"T-This Feeling..."
This sharp and dangerous feeling... It's a Dungeon Outbreak... It's ominous and scary... My first instinct is to run... But considering there's no route to safety in the bathroom... I immediately go out of the bathroom...
"HELP ME!!!"
I hear screams upstairs... I see a puddle of blood going down from the stairs... I gulped nervously...
"The monster is upstairs... I should run away outside... It won't be long...."
Run... Run... Run for your life...
That's what my instinct keep telling me... But, Even though my heart telling me to run... I want to fight! I want to fight.
Fight. Fight. Fight! Overwhelm your instinct with your mind!!! FIGHT!
I decided to rush the stairs... I ignore the puddle of blood and some corpse on the ground and head upstairs.
"Help me!!!"
From behind... I hear a girl scream. It's not too far... And from the intensity of the crowd... There's only one person... Everyone left her as a sacrifice it seems like... So I can't let her be that!
"HEY MONSTER! OVER HERE!"
I scream toward the monster. The girl look at me fill with hope... I just look hopeless against the monster...
The monster that we're facing... Is Goblin... A Simple Goblin. But for us, who aren't awakened... Goblin is strong!
What do I do now? I can't let her die. If I want to be a Hunter. I need to care about the weak life... I need to put my life on the line for her...
"Come here you bastard! Your opponent is me!"
As I scream that... Everything stopped... It seems like the time has stopped... I don't know what's going on... But a single figure appear right in front of me...
"Your Courage has impressed me."
... Who?
