(Some memory in the past.)
Vengeance Hunter is training his abilities as Black Merchant suddenly opened a discussion, a discussion that will give Vengeance Hunter some time to halt himself.
" My mom still alive? " Vengeance Hunter asked.
" How did you know? What's her condition? "
" Easy there... " Black Merchant tells him.
" Even if I relay it to you, it will still hurt you and- "
" Say it, Merchant! " Vengeance Hunter is getting impatient.
" Okay, okay, I get it. " Black Merchant replied.
" Using My eyes and ears, I tracked her in the place those Heroes and imprisoned her into. "
" She's still alive, as the Heroes who made them leave you and your dad behind decided to abandon her as they lost interest over her per your 'demise' in the Dungeon. "
" Because of your 'death', the contract that you once signed, was abolished... "
" And because of that, your Dad... "
" I know... " Vengeance Hunter replied.
" They left him freezing in that morgue for years. "
" To think he already, keurkh! " Vengeance Hunter clenched his fists.
" To think it happened during my University's Second Years. "
" Dammit, that was even before the Dungeon, that incident with Prof. Vile! "
" I found out those Heroes decided to give her to one of their Villain Associates..." Black Merchant tells him.
" I investigated it and found out that they're offering your mom for... "
" You know..., things they sell using women...? " Black Merchant says it, which Vengeance Hunter immediately catches the notion.
" Prostitution? "
" That is the worst-case scenario... "
" But you still have time... " Black Merchant says that as the scene changes. Fast forward, the scene shows a placed burned into flames while a villain decides to flee from the fire.
" Haha, you'll never catch me, you'll never catch me, hahaha! " Said the Villain as in that moment, Vengeance Hunter is holding a woman, his mom that has been gone for years, now held on his arms, weak.
* Vengeance Hunter's mom had trouble in her breath. *
She was weak from the moment Vengeance Hunter found her, now, with mere breathes left, Vengeance Hunter wastes no time, quickly unmasking himself, calling his mom out loud, even calling her name in midst of the raging flames as he protects her with his abilities as much as he could.
"(God, please return her to me.)"
"(God, Lord, I...)"
" S...on. " Vengeance Hunter's mom finally made her words as she uses her weakening energy to see his current unmasked face hidden behind the mask.
Seeing his face, despite it had changed so much, Vengeance Hunter's mom shed tears for it seems she knows who he is despite the drastic face change. After seeing all that, her breath stops, her hand falls in front of Vengeance Hunter, immediately giving Vengeance Hunter a huge breakdown as it happened.
" You did well... " Black Merchant says after Vengeance Hunter returned her body to him, in order for him to prepare her burial, where she will be placed alongside Vengeance Hunter's dad.
" I had nothing to say, for none of it will please you. " Black Merchant says.
" You got that right... " Vengeance Hunter replied in his annoyed state.
" If your eyes and ears are faster, than these would've happened to her. "
" But as things goes, I lost her too... "
" As if this were her fate to begin with! " Vengeance Hunter expresses his disappointment.
" It wasn't..., it was all forced. " Black Merchant replied after finished burying the two.
" As those who forced this to her is still out there, you even let one of 'em escape. " Black Merchant tells it.
" But despite all that, you were right to let me make sure to have 'em rest together. "
" For still, in this Vengeance you vowed upon yourself, wouldn't it be hurtful to let your parents see it? " The question was given which made Vengeance Hunter went into full silence.
" With this, the only thing you need to keep in mind in the future is to unleash more of your vengeance and keep on the hunt over the Heroes and Villains, to prevent letting the people to feel your pain. " Black Merchant approached the silent Vengeance Hunter.
" Listen to me, your parents are all in the better place. "
" It's time for you to accept it and continue what you were prepared for. "
" Vengeance Hunter! " Black Merchant says as the memory slowly fades as Vengeance Hunter's surroundings began to fade into dark, leaving him alone in the blackness of the realm.
" To think I would experience it all in such a short time... " Vengeance Hunter says to himself.
" All of it, all of it that made me what I am. " He sighs.
" You're right, Black Merchant. "
" Instead of being held back by the chains of the past, I should've instead unleashed more vengeance and hunt even more. "
" For I am the 'Vengeance Hunter'. " Vengeance Hunter says after hearing a certain beep.
" Where were you? " Vengeance Hunter asked the System, as it finally appeared again before him after some time.
" Really, a [Hidden Quest]? " Vengeance Hunter asked the System as the System processed the Reward that shall be given.
<...>
<'Vengeance Hunter' it's time...>
" I know... " Vengeance Hunter says as he receives the reward, the red eyes of his mask glows as he grips his hands.
...
" That's the reason why Vengeance Hunter is sent to the trains..." Black Merchant says to the woman that Vengeance Hunter saved after dropping her in her place using his Teleportation, completing his work.
" Not because to just cure his trainsick before things get weird, but also... " Black Merchant closes his eyes, while on Vengeance Hunter's position, as the woman with her spider-armoured suit webs him, she dragged him in order to bring her into the place she's heading.
But during her chilling walk.
* Stab *
A Black Blade pierces through her chest from behind.
" I evaded your heart on purpose. " Vengeance Hunter says as he comes out from his web with his body filled with Black Aura.
" Arachon Soldier. " Vengeance Hunter says that as he pulls the blade from The Arachon Soldier's chest as she screeches afterwards as she somehow gets weak after that attack Vengeance Hunter did.
" Now, Arachon Soldier. "
" You will bring me to W.E.B.* "

Announcement:
Hello guys, KJVZeanso here.
After this Chapter since the schedule of the publishing might be conflicted with the publishing of my other Novel I mainly focused "I Leveled Up To Fight The Gods". I've decided to write the max of 20 Chapters of this Novel for now before I go on indefinite Hiatus.
It's alright, don't cry...
I will still develop the story behind the scenes.
And by the way, Spoiler alert.
After this, perhaps I'm gonna publish a special comic chapter regarding the last train arc in Webnovel (If Possible), I already published it on Tapas for the comic competition, but it seems I gotta wait the results until July 1st (the deadline). So please be informed that the comic will probably publish in Webnovel (again, if possible, never published a webtoon comic on Webnovel before, but still, I'll let you know when it happened. Thank you.)
