"What a surprise, another little guy who looks pretty tasty," he said, breaking into a monstrous grin as he widened his eyes.Minseok quickly moved towards Miguel, who was completely paralyzed with fear, grabbed him, slung him over his shoulder, and started running at full speed. As he ran, he thought, "How did I not notice this Wanderer? It must be at least a Grade 2." Minseok seemed familiar with these kinds of creatures, which is why he was able to react so quickly."Damn Miguel, what are you doing just standing there like a statue?" he said in a serious tone, completely different from what Miguel was used to. Minseok had become a completely new person, someone Miguel had never seen before.The unidentified Wanderer started chasing them. The streetlights began to flicker. Faced with this situation, Minseok started running towards his house."But this little guy is pretty fast, what an interesting human. With every passing second, I want to devour them even more," it said loudly.The young man was running at a speed comparable to a world-class athlete, even with someone on his shoulders. But there was a big problem: fatigue was starting to set in."Shit, wake up, man, what do you think you're doing?""Ha... ha, ha, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!""This nightmare again, HAHAHA""I'm sure it's another nightmare," he said with a slightly lunatic expression as he put his hands on his head.Minseok turned onto the avenue and could already see his house.The creature began to realize Minseok's plan. The creature's instincts were abnormal, which was very bad luck for the two of them."This human is very fast, he's no ordinary person," it thought.Then it realized that Minseok was leading it towards a barrier, so the monster started laughing."HIHIHIHIHI!""Well, it's a shame. If I can't eat that child you're carrying, I'll just eat your parents. They must taste good too."The creature stopped and stared fixedly with a wide grin on its face as it continued to laugh.Minseok realized he was no longer being followed and froze after hearing the monster's words. He looked back and saw that expression on its face."Miguel, run to my house while I hold it off.""This nightmare won't end, I have to wake up soon, hahaha."Minseok slapped Miguel in the face and said, "WAKE UP, DAMN IT! This isn't a game anymore, this isn't a nightmare, this is real life!"Overwhelmed by shock, Miguel realized that it was real and the penny dropped. Fear, the instinct to survive, made him obey the order and run towards Minseok's house. But the Wanderer had an abnormal intelligence, a natural manipulator."Oh Miguel, my little boy, are you going to run away and let your parents die?"Miguel froze again and went into a trance. He started to think, "I need to survive, my parents need to survive, I'm scared, but I need to fight. Why do I have to fight? I didn't want this, I just wanted to have a quiet life. Why is this happening to me? What did I do to deserve this?"Faced with such thoughts, the most normal human reaction a person can have is simply to cry. Miguel started to tear up and tremble.The Wanderer laughed very loudly, laughing at the boy's despair."That's it, more, I want more, cry, CRY MORE, WHILE YOUR PARENTS' LIVES ARE ON THE LINE KEEP CRYING!"Faced with the situation, Minseok took a deep breath and said, "Miguel, the choice is yours, you don't have to fight, I'll take care of him."But for some reason, even faced with such fear and despair, the boy thought of his parents who had always loved and protected him. So he picked up a metal bar that was next to a garbage bag in front of a house nearby and assumed a kendo stance. His hands were shaking, his body was trembling, sweating cold, he said, "Let's end this."Well, that's what he meant to say. The fear was so great that he couldn't say a word.The monster lunged towards Minseok and with its left-hand claws attacked from top to bottom. Minseok dodged by a hair's breadth and returned with a well-aimed right punch. The blow connected, but the Wanderer took advantage of this blow to slip past where the stance was open and feinted an attack that made Minseok go on the defensive, but it was all a trap to go straight for Miguel."Got you, little boy."Miguel had no reflexes or strength to defend against the Wanderer's force. The Wanderer attacked with everything it had, aiming for the head. By some miracle, he managed to deflect the attack very poorly and ended up getting a cut on his nose, and his stick flew away."Bye-bye, thanks for the meal."In an instant, Nari appeared from behind the tree next to Miguel and kicked down from above, smashing the Wanderer's head and creating a small crater in the ground from the impact."Ahhhh, what the hell is this? Why is there a Wanderer chasing you two?"Miguel, not understanding what was happening, was in complete shock."W-Wanderer?""I remember, he doesn't know anything, does he? Wait, your nose is bleeding." So Miguel put his hand to his nose and saw his hand was bloody, he fell on his butt and froze completely."Bloo-Blood""Hey, brother, it's over now, that Wanderer with its head smashed was pretty funny." Minseok's personality returned completely to what it was before. Minseok extended his hand to Miguel while laughing as if it were a funny situation."Get up, let's put a bandage on that nose before it gets infected.""How come a dimwit like you couldn't kill that chicken?""I was without my bow and it also seems that Wanderer was very intelligent, it's very strange to have a Grade 2 Wanderer like that."While they went into the house and bandaged Miguel's nose, he ended up asking a question."What are these Wanderers? And what do you mean they have Grades?""What a pain, we'll explain later, go to sleep now," he gave him a light tap on the head.Minseok and Nari went to their rooms while Miguel lay on the couch and called his parents saying he was going to sleep at his friends' house. He was scared, trembling, and crying, but after a few minutes he fell asleep.The nightmare didn't appear again this time. When he woke up, he realized it wasn't a dream. He heard the door open roughly."I'm home, kids, a great morning for training, huh?" said a man with fair skin, about 1.82 meters tall, with reddish hair and slightly orange eyes.He looked at the couch and saw Miguel."Look, we have an interesting child here, I feel a good amount of energy," he said with a slight smile.
