Chapter 2 - Hunting ground

[Next day, at the bluerose guild office in New delhi (India) ]

When Arun came at the bluerose guild, he saw that a man who has musculine body with grey hair stood next to Neha and they were discussing something. and he seemed in his late 30's. "Oh! you finally came, meet, this is the porter team leader, Narendra." Neha said. 

"Hello, nice to meet you, i'm Arun." arun said nervously. because he never worked as a porter before so he was a bit nervous about the type of work.

"Nice to meet you too." Narendra said formally. 'he seems a bit strict i think i have to work hard to gain his recognition' 

"Arun, from now on you will work under narendra, if you have any complains, tell him." Neha said.

"Okay, mam" Arun said. "why're you talking formally we're friends so please talk to me as before." Neha said. 'we met only a few times, when did i become her friend?!' Arun thought. "Hmm, okay.." Arun said.

"Narendra, please take good care of him, he is my one and only friend in this city."

"Okay, mam. now mam, please excuse us. and Arun, come with me." after that Narendra introduced him to other team members, and then he told him about the working rules.

"Arun, i have told you everything about our work, tomorrow, the porter team will go to hunting ground in Sri Lanka, so be ready tomorrow. whatever you want do it today, i don't wanna hear any excuse tomorrow." Narendra said strictly. "Yes sir." Arun said confidently like a soldier....

"Riya, i have prepared some food for you and kept it in the fridge so whenever you're hungry eat it. brother gonna for work from now on, okay."

"Okay, brother." Riya said innocently. his eyes became teary while he was feeding Riya. after feeding Riya he kissed on her head and said: "Your brother will do work hard and make plenty of money. so please endure it for some more time." "it's okay, brother it's not your fault, you did your best and also your sister is not someone who is gonna die that easily so don't worry, and don't cry if you cry i'm also gonna cry." 

"Okay, i'm not gonna cry anymore." and then he wiped his tears. and after feeding Riya, he take her in her room. "now go to sleep, i'm gonna for work and don't open the door no matter what!." "Okay brother and good luck for your first day of work." 

"thank you.." 'no matter what i have to do, i have to earn money for her treatment by these two months.'..... after that he went on work.

Few hours later, 

They arrived at hunting ground which was stated in a hilly forest in Sri lanka.

Arun heard some rumors that, Raghav was going to be the raid team leader in that raid who was a rank S hunter and India's rising star. and as vice leader, Tanya who a rank A hunter and also known as cold beauty. and there were also other high rank hunters. it seemed like this raid was going to be dealt easily.

And then Arun heard a familiar calling, he turned back and saw that he was Gautam. "What!..Arun, you have also work in the bluerose guild?" "yeah, i'm recently joined as a porter." Arun said annoyingly. because he didn't want to show Gautam his that side. "if you wanna any help please tell me." Gautam said earnestly.

After that he went towards the raiding team. and then raiding team leader, Raghav and vice leader, Tanya arrived. although he was looking at a distance but when he felt their mana pressure from that far his eyes wide opened and said. "What! a freaking strong mana pressure.. are they really humans?! they seem to be from another world!, so this is what rank S and rank A hunter look like"

After raiding team leaders arriving, the raiding team started preparing for attack. 

"After the raiding team dealt with the first wave of the monsters, we collect the mana stone from the dead monsters. and before their raiding finished, no can go near the hunting ground, so be ready." Narendra said strictly. and then he gave every non awakened a locket which protected from dense mana wave.

And then the raiding team entered the hunting ground, when they saw the monsters there, most of the low ranking hunters were trembling with fear from the boss monster's only presence. the hunting ground seemed to be like a large colony of the wolf monsters. where the hunters were surrounded by the wolf monsters, there were also many high ranking wolf monsters and their leader the rank S Boss monster who was standing on the top of the hill and emerging the immense dark mana, because of that he seemed to be like a predator and that seen was looking horrible for the hunters.

But the raiding team had also a famous S-rank hunter so high ranking hunters were not that scared and instantly attacked the monsters.

Because of monsters' number, most of the hunters were struggling against the monsters. and then a few of monsters were able to escape from the hunters and went towards the porter team and attacked them. Arun who was in the porter team was chasing out by a monster. while running, his legs slipped and he felt on the ground and the monster was moving slowly towards him and looked at Arun as his prey. Arun stood and screamed loudly for help. "please, someone help me.., i don't wanna die like this, i wanna see my little sister to be happy. if i die here who would save her...so please someone help me." no one seemed to be there for his help.

"No, this is not the time for crying i have to find a way to escape from this monster. if i can't then i have to fight against him." and then he picked up a stick that was lying on the ground. but when the monster was about to attack him, Gautam arrived there and started to defend him from the monster. "run towards the porter team, there were all monsters dealt." Gautam said while fighting against the monster.

Before he was started running towards the porter team, an another monster arrived there. while moving slowly towards Arun, the monster looked at him as his prey. so Arun started running towards opposite direction of the porter team, after running aimlessly, he saw a cave and without thinking anything he entered into it. due to the strange reason the monster didn't come to near the cave and returned towards the hunting ground.... 

"I can't see anything properly here because of the darkness, even though i can't go back in this condition... ouch!, my legs.." his legs injured badly while he was running from the monster. "Let's rest here for sometime before going back." and then Arun sat against the wall of the cave, after sometime he slept there... 

When he awake he sensed an ominous energy that was flowing deep inside the cave. "what's this feeling?, it feels like a lot of mana stone placed deep inside this cave. let's see what's there?" 

He couldn't control his curiosity and then he started walking towards deep inside the cave. when he reached there, his eyes opened wide to see a strange thing that he never saw before....

...to be continue.
