The next day, Arjun woke up with a renewed sense of purpose. He quickly completed his daily quests, eager to see what rewards awaited him.
"System," Arjun called out, "give me my rewards and spin the lottery."
"Processing your request," the system replied.
A virtual screen appeared before Arjun, listing his newly earned rewards.
Daily Quest Rewards:
Strength Potion: Temporarily increases the user's physical strength.
System Points: 100
System Upgrade Points: 100
Arjun nodded in satisfaction. "These will definitely come in handy," he thought.
"Spinning the lottery now," the system announced.
The colorful virtual lottery wheel spun rapidly, and Arjun watched intently as it gradually slowed down. It finally stopped on a segment labeled "Epic Armor.
Lottery Spin Reward:
Epic Armor: A suit of armor that provides exceptional protection and enhances the wearer's agility.
Arjun's eyes widened with excitement. "Epic Armor? This will give me a huge advantage!"
Feeling more prepared than ever, Arjun decided it was time to take on the mysterious monster. He knew the mission from the system awaited him, and he was ready to prove his worth.
"Now I will go kill the mysterious monster and complete the system's mission," Arjun declared.
"Understood," the system responded. "However, you must wear a mask to conceal your identity. No one should know who you are."
Arjun nodded. "Alright, I'll wear a mask. But tell me, what rewards will I get if I kill the mysterious monster?
The system provided the details:
Mission Rewards:
System Points: 1000
System Upgrade Points: 1000
Rare Reward: 1
Epic Reward: 10

New Ability: Spider Sensor
Arjun's heart raced with anticipation. "Spider Sensor? What's that?" he asked.
Spider Sensor is an ability that enhances your sensory perception, allowing you to detect danger and sense the presence of enemies within a certain radius. It's like having a sixth sense for threats," the system explained.
Arjun grinned. "Perfect. With all these rewards, I'll be unstoppable."
Arjun had spent the last three days meticulously crafting his suit and mask, completing his daily quests with diligence. He finally finished the suit, feeling a sense of accomplishment as he admired his handiwork. The suit was designed for both protection and stealth, with the mask adding an element of anonymity.
He spoke to the system, "System, I've made the suit and mask. How does it look?"
"You've done an excellent job," the system responded cheerfully. "I'm pleased with your work. Here's a reward for your effort."
New Ability Unlocked: Earth Shatter
Earth Shatter: When you strike your hand on the ground, it temporarily impairs the hearing, vision, and speed of all individuals within a 10-meter radius for 60 seconds.

Arjun's eyes lit up with excitement. "This ability will be very useful," he thought. Then, he remembered something. "System, I haven't received my rewards for the last three days of daily quests."
"You did receive them, but you never opened the system to claim them," the system reminded him. "You also have three lottery spins you forgot about. Let's take care of all that now."
"Alright, let's see what I've got," Arjun said, eagerly.

Arjun smiled as he saw his daily rewards appear. "These will definitely come in handy," he thought. Then, the lottery wheel spun, and he watched the segments blur together until they slowly came to a stop.

Arjun's happiness grew with each reward. "These abilities are incredible," he said, brimming with confidence.
The system then interjected, "Do you remember the mission?"
"Yes, I do. What's up?" Arjun asked.
"I have found the location of the mysterious monster," the system explained. "However, it's a dangerous place. The monster is in Alibaug, inside a dense forest. The Indian Hunter Association is also there, so you'll need to be careful."
Arjun nodded, determination in his eyes. "We're not afraid of danger. Tell me what I need to do."
"You should leave your house at 3:00 in the evening," the system instructed. "Catch the bus to Alibaug, and you'll arrive by 5:26. Book a room in a hotel and rest until 9:00. Then, sneak out wearing your suit and mask and head into the forest. Be cautious; there might be powerful hunters around. Your mission is to quietly enter the forest, locate the monster, and kill it."
"I understand," Arjun replied. "I'll do exactly as you say."
The following day, Arjun prepared for his journey with meticulous care. He double-checked his suit and mask, ensuring everything was in perfect order. After completing his daily quest, he asked the system for his rewards.
By 3:00 PM, Arjun left his house and headed to the bus stop, boarding the bus to Alibaug. The ride was uneventful, giving him time to mentally prepare for the mission ahead. As the bus approached Alibaug, the sun began to set, casting long shadows across the landscape.
Arjun arrived at 5:26 PM, just as the system had predicted. He quickly found a small, discreet hotel and checked in. The room was modest but clean, offering a quiet place to rest and gather his thoughts.
At 9:00 PM, Arjun donned his suit and mask, feeling the familiar surge of confidence as he transformed into his anonymous alter ego. The suit was snug yet flexible, allowing for swift and silent movement. He carefully exited the hotel, making sure no one saw him. The streets were relatively quiet, with only a few late-night wanderers and the occasional vehicle passing by.
The forest lay on the outskirts of Alibaug, a dark and foreboding expanse that seemed to swallow the light. Arjun moved with purpose, following the system's directions. The closer he got, the more he felt the weight of the mission ahead. He had to remain unseen and undetected, especially with the Indian Hunter Association potentially patrolling the area.
As he reached the edge of the forest, the system spoke up. "Remember, Arjun, this place is dangerous. Use your abilities wisely and stay alert."
Arjun nodded. "I will. Let's do this."
The dense foliage and towering trees created an eerie atmosphere. Arjun moved silently, his senses heightened. He activated **Shadow Insight**, scanning the area for any signs of danger. Shadows danced around him, but none revealed any immediate threats.
He continued deeper into the forest, navigating through thick underbrush and stepping carefully to avoid making noise. His heart pounded in his chest, a mix of adrenaline and determination driving him forward. The system guided him, marking the path to the monster's lair.
Suddenly, he heard voices ahead. Arjun quickly took cover behind a tree, using **Shadow Insight** to gauge the intentions of the individuals. It was a group of hunters from the Indian Hunter Association. They were on high alert, patrolling the area for any signs of the mysterious monster.
Arjun waited patiently for them to pass, holding his breath to remain undetected. Once they were out of sight, he resumed his journey, even more cautious than before.
Arjun approached the fallen monster cautiously, its grotesque form illuminated by the moonlight filtering through the dense canopy. The creature's breathing was labored, and its red eyes glowed with a malevolent light.
Arjun's heart raced as he prepared for the fight. The monster, a towering, hulking beast with scales as tough as armor and claws like daggers, roared defiantly. Arjun activated his abilities, ready to engage.
The fight was intense and grueling. The monster was far stronger than anticipated, with a ferocity that tested every ounce of Arjun's skill and endurance.
First Strike: Arjun started with a Fire Kick, the flames scorching the monster's hide. It roared in pain but quickly recovered, charging at him with terrifying speed.
Counterattack: Arjun used Earth Shatter to impair the monster's senses, but it seemed to adapt quickly. The monster swung its massive claws, forcing Arjun to dodge and weave to avoid being hit.
Relentless Assault: The battle dragged on as Arjun tried to outmaneuver the beast. Each attack was met with counterattacks that left him bruised and battered. He used every trick he knew, from quick strikes to evasive maneuvers, but the monster's resilience was remarkable.
Critical Moment: At one point, Arjun was nearly overwhelmed. The monster's claws grazed him, causing a deep cut. He felt the sting of pain but pushed through, focusing on his mission. He used a Healing Potion to stabilize his condition and continued fighting with renewed determination.
Despite the odds, Arjun's persistence paid off. He managed to find a critical weakness in the monster's defenses. With a powerful strike, he drove his blade into the monster's heart. The beast let out a final, anguished roar before collapsing.
The monster's body twitched and then lay still. Arjun, exhausted but triumphant, took a moment to catch his breath. The system's voice broke the silence.
"Congratulations, Arjun. The monster has been defeated. Its name was **Gorath, the Dread Beast.

Aftermath: As Arjun collected his rewards, he noticed a drone hovering in the distance, its lights blinking intermittently. Realizing it might be monitoring the area, he took a small stone from the ground and threw it accurately, knocking the drone out of the air. The drone crashed silently, its operations disrupted.
With the area secure and his mission complete, Arjun slipped away quietly, making his way back to the hotel to rest. The battle was over, but Arjun knew that this was only the beginning of more challenges to come.
Meanwhile in the The Indian Hunter Association's headquarters was abuzz with activity. The recording of Arjun killing the mysterious monster had spread quickly, sparking intense interest and concern among the members. A special meeting was convened, and the twelve key members gathered around a large, round table, with the Chairman at the head.

2. Vice Chairman: Aarti Deshmukh - An expert in ancient relics and lore, highly respected for her knowledge.

12. Member 10: Nisha Singh - A formidable fighter with a sharp mind.
13. Member 11: Maya Joshi - At 21, she is the youngest member, a prodigy in combat and strategy.
The meeting commenced with the Chairman, Rajesh Kumar, showing the footage of Arjun's battle against the mysterious monster.
Vivek Sharma: (standing up) "Chairman, this guy killed the mysterious monster. Does he belong to a cult? Because why else would he kill such a beast?"
Priya Nair: (rising) "I think some outside hunter association must have asked him to kill the monster. It's possible he's working under someone else's orders."
Rakesh Gupta: (interjecting) "Or maybe he's a rogue hunter. Someone with skills like that doesn't come out of nowhere."
Anjali Mehra: "But why would a rogue hunter take such a huge risk? There must be something more to this."
Suresh Patil: "Perhaps he's seeking recognition. Killing a mysterious monster could elevate his status among hunters."
Kavita Jain: "Or he could be on a personal vendetta. There's always a story behind such actions."
Rahul Kapoor: "He might be testing his abilities. Taking down a monster like that requires incredible skill and courage."
Sneha Reddy: "What if he's looking for something? A reward, maybe, or information?"
Deepak Verma: "Or he might have had a run-in with the monster and killed it in self-defense. We shouldn't jump to conclusions."
Nisha Singh: "Regardless of his intentions, we need to find out more about him. He could be an asset or a threat."
Maya Joshi: (standing up, her eyes focused) "Chairman, it seems to me that he acted alone. He doesn't belong to any cult or hunter association. I'm interested in this guy. No one fights a mysterious monster like that without exceptional skills. I've faced these creatures myself and know how tough they are. He fought brilliantly, even though he weakened at times. He managed to kill the monster, and that's no small feat. I believe we should bring him into the Indian Hunter Association. He could be a valuable asset."
Chairman Rajesh Kumar: (nodding thoughtfully) "You make a compelling argument, Maya. Finding this individual will be your responsibility."
The Chairman stood up, signaling the end of the meeting. "We need to proceed with caution and gather more information. This could be an opportunity or a threat, but we won't know until we find him."
Maya's Thoughts:
As the meeting adjourned, Maya remained deep in thought. She was intrigued by Unknown Person abilities and determination. At 20, just a year older than him, she felt a strange connection and curiosity about his motives and skills. She was determined to find him and uncover the truth behind his actions.
