With his newfound power and the Divine Artifact, Haru was ready to take the world by storm. He began training relentlessly, honing his stolen skills and mastering the intricacies of the Regressor's Seal. He spent countless hours in the dungeons, facing increasingly dangerous foes and emerging victorious.
His reputation grew rapidly. Once the laughingstock of the Hunter community, he was now revered as a prodigy. People marveled at his extraordinary abilities, whispering about the mysterious power that fueled his strength.
However, Haru knew that true power lay not just in strength, but in knowledge and strategy. He delved into ancient texts, studying the history of the world and the secrets of the dungeons. He sought out experienced hunters, picking their brains and learning from their wisdom.
As he grew stronger, he also began to use his power to help others. He rescued trapped hunters, defended villages from monster attacks, and even aided in the exploration of high-level dungeons. His actions earned him the respect and admiration of the people.
But Haru's ambitions reached far beyond local fame. He yearned to uncover the truth behind the portals, the dungeons, and the Awakening. He believed that the answers to these mysteries lay in the highest levels of the dungeons, where the most powerful creatures and the most valuable treasures resided.
With each passing day, Haru drew closer to his ultimate goal. He would become the strongest hunter, the ultimate Regressor, and the savior of the world.
