Chapter 6 - The hunter system!

In a spacious room designed for half-giants, a single bed held a sleeping baby, Adam. One minute after his parents left, he slowly opened his eyes, taking in the grandeur of the room. The walls were lined with tall bookshelves and elegant furnishings. Dragons, in their human forms, were typically tall—averaging six feet, with the largest reaching ten feet. Adam's small frame felt even smaller in this grandiose setting.

He closed his eyes again, focusing inward to assess his body. 'Mmm... it seems my body is compatible with every fighting style and every elemental magic. I can learn anything if I want!' he thought, not surprised since his main body had modified his form for maximum potential

Delving into his mind, Adam visualized a library filled with countless books, each labeled with different class titles: Mage, Alchemist, Doctor, and more. 'It will take too much time to read everything….however, time is what I have since I am still a baby, how troublesome.' He imagined a book on swordsmanship, and it appeared in his hands.

He chose swordsmanship first because it fascinated him. He planned to master every class until he was the strongest in each. For half an hour, he read the basics of swordsmanship until he reached his mental limit. For a normal baby, minutes would have been overwhelming, but Adam was no ordinary infant. His adult mentality and dragon heritage made him exceptional.

Returning to the real world, he heard a sound in his head.

*Ding*

Looking around, confused, he quickly realized what it was. A translucent blue screen with white letters appeared before him.

[Ding! System is loading! Please wait for a moment]

[Loading....5%....20%....

…39%.....50%.....66%...

..88%.....100%..loading complete!]

[Welcome, host, to the hunter system!]

'Just call me master.'

[Yes, master!] The system responded immediately, thrilled to address its host as "master."

'Now then, care to share your functions?'

[With pleasure! As my name suggests, I only have one main function which is to tell the master about the different monsters the master can hunt. It also comes with rewards! However, the system is not the one to give the rewards but the monsters will!]

Adam understood the first part but was puzzled by the latter. Seeking clarity, he asked the system to elaborate!

'System, what do you mean about the last part?'

[Alright! When master kills a monster, rewards are given through the monster's orb. Weak monsters provide money or items, while stronger monsters offer abilities, armies, or possessions. Killing legendary or god-level monsters grants the master the monster's class at its peak. For instance, if master kills Death, master becomes the new Death, gaining its abilities and everything else by consuming the orb left behind.]

Adam pondered the information. 'Basically, if I kill the universe creator, I will gain its power and own the universe?'

[Exactly! Master is wise!] The system was ecstatic, pleased that its master had grasped the concept so quickly.

Meanwhile, in the Elven Kingdom, a similar conversation was unfolding. Violet, Adam's counterpart, also possessed the Hunter System. Their main body had shared this crucial information with them.

'Violet should be ready. I should send her an invitation first,' Adam thought, directing his attention to the system.

'system, can you sent an invitation to violet'

[Yes master!]

[Notice: party invitation sent to player Violet Vylan]

'Violet Vylan, huh? What a simple yet great name for my Violet~' Adam waited, and soon, the system notified him.

[Notice: Invitation has been accepted!]

A group chat opened, with two members: Violet and Adam. Both were online, and Violet sent the first message.

[Chat Room:

Violet- darling~, you are here as well?

Adam- yes, what? You didn't know?

Violet- of course I knew! I just wanted to make sure!

Adam- yeah, whatever.

Violet- trust me!

Adam- Alright! Alright! But enough about that, where are you right now?

Violet- In the elven kingdom from what I heard.

Adam- so you're an elf?

Violet- yes! But where are you darling~?

Adam- in the dragon empire.

Violet- oh! So you're a dragon…how cool! Nee~, Nee~, can you breathe fire from your mouth?

Adam- …I'm still a baby! How could I do that?!..but I suppose I could since I'm still a dragon, but that will happen in the future.

Violet- okay~

Adam- …you do have pointy ears right?

Violet- hehe~, of course I do! I am an elf after all!

Adam- "…."

Adam- right…who's your parents?

Violet- hehe~ behold! My mighty parents! The elf king and queen!

Adam- oooh!

Violet- I know right! Come on, praise me more!

Adam- yes indeed! You are the magnificent violet! Worthy of such parents!

Violet- Muahahaha!

Adam- "...."

Violet- ….Anyway, who's your parents darling~?

Adam- the dragon emperor and empress.

Violet- "...."

Adam- "...."

Violet- ….what?

Adam- you heard me

Violet- Eeeh?! Your parents are the emperor and empress?!

Adam- yes

Violet- …Ahem, Ahahaha! As expected of darling!

Adam- "...."

Violet- anyway, what are we doing now darling~?

Adam- ….Just focusing on growing for now.

Violet- right.

Adam- have you decided on your first class yet?

Violet- yes!

Adam- what is it?

Violet- hehe~, guess!

Adam- …..swordsmanship

Violet- "...."

Adam- am I right?

Violet- ….No fair! You know me too much!

Adam- Don't worry, I picked the same class.

Violet- really!

Adam- yes, So just focus on reading about it for now.

Violet- yes, darling~

Adam- I have to go, this body has been exhausted already.

Violet- me too, I feel like I might sleep at any moment now.

Violet- bye, honey~

Violet- !!!...Yes! Darling~!]

Adam sighed at the content in the chatroom. 'How lovely,' he thought, a small smile appearing on his baby face. In this form, it looked endearing rather than handsome, but a pity no one was around to see it. He closed the system and returned to sleep.

Meanwhile, in the Elven Kingdom, Violet lay in her white-and-pink room. Though her face appeared peaceful, her thoughts were filled with excitement. 'Darling~, darling~, darling~!' She longed to be with Adam, but as a baby, she couldn't walk or find the Dragon Empire. She knew she had to endure this separation, trusting that Adam would do the same for their eventual reunion. With that thought, she drifted into sleep.
