Finding Dawn Arc - Chapter 9

Chapter 9: ???

[*???'s POV*]

(Two Years Ago)

"What is happening?"

I was just doing my homework when I suddenly heard strange noises coming from outside.

But it is suddenly so quiet now, what is going on right now. I better check downstairs and see for myself. I think mom and dad are still watching the news as I can still faintly hear the sounds coming from the tv.

Our house is just a normal-looking two-story one, its not that unique in our residence as there are even others with four-stories and more. My room is located just beside the stairs so as soon as I got out of my room, I reached the stairs.

Going down from the second floor, I saw my mom and dad near the stairs while there was a strange green creature in front of them.

"Mom?"

I called out for my mom as soon as I saw them, the green creature also turns to look at me which made me scared.

"Sweetie down go down. Just stay up there, okay?"

I nodded to my mom as I couldn't even muster any courage to speak at this moment. The looks that the green creature giving me is making me really terrified.

"Hah!"

My dad is confronting the green creature, he was holding a cleaver knife which I am familiar with as my mom uses it all the time when she's cooking.

The green creature in from was holding a wooden branch, which it most likely have gotten from the tree on our backyard.

I then saw my dad whispered something to mom, in which after that, mom came to me and told me that she will bring me to hide in my room.

As I was scared, I didn't have the strength to move as my legs were almost about to fail me. My mom carried me back to my room as she then locked the door and returned downstairs. She told me that she will help my dad and will come back later.

All I did was nod to her, I can't distract them right now as I know that whatever creature it is downstairs, it must have been a dangerous one. Especially when it looks like a goblin.

'Goblin. Goblin?'

'How did I know that? I don't even play games or watch movies, how come I know about that.'

Wait! I can faintly remember that a boy told me that, but who is that boy?

"I-I can't remember his name... I can't even remember how he looks like."

But why do I feel like, he's someone important to me? Someone, precious?

"I-I..."

I didn't realize it back then, but I fainted because of the stress I was feeling at that time. When I woke up, my father was wounded but still okay, while my mom by my side, caressing my hair.

She looks really exhausted and it was at that time, I promised myself that I will get stronger to protect them.

-Two Year Later-

I can now say that I am strong enough to protect my mom and dad. It was later found out that I have awakened as a Hunter and my skills are also strong.

I trained really hard even to that point of participating in raids lead by the government. They saw my potential and have reached out to me and gave me an offer, that was really tempting.

But I did not accept it nor reject. I still have to think about it more carefully.

I also want to try my luck and see if I can join the King's guild. It was said that they don't care what your nationality is, as long as you remain loyal to the guild, they will accept you.

I even heard that they are the strongest guild in Southeast Asia and possibly the whole world if it weren't for them staying low-key. The guild master, which was Rune Hero is really famous around the world.

He is said to be the first person to close a gate and it was even a B-rank dungeon. It was really hard to believe it but evidence and witnesses say so.

That is why I admire him and want to be the same as him. He can do anything he wants but did not commit any bad deeds and instead, helped others.

He even made a deal with Kingscrown Corporation to mass-produce the Rank Measuring Gun which had greatly helped in identifying the level of dungeons inside the gates.

The word 'Kingscrown' does ring a bell and it made me even more curious about it when my parents told me that I had a friend before named Sam Kingscrown.

And coincidentally, there is also another person who is almost equally as famous as Rune Hero in the Philippines.

Sam Kingscrown

I don't know why but this name sounds really familiar, my parents told me that I lost most of my childhood memories, must be the reason why he sounds familiar.

My parents told me that I was really close to Sam, I can't remember him but it seems likely to be true. Besides, he's so handsome and most of the female hunters besides me always talk about him.

"Hunter-nim, team leader said we have to move now."

One of my fellow team members called out to me. We are currently in the middle of a raid. I should get going now.

"I'll be there in a second."

"Okay then."

As soon as she left, I stood up. Look up as I then turned around and head back to my team.

***

I will post a 2k words Chapter for each 50 power stone voted. I made my requirements higher since I don't want to end up writing 5-6 chapters a day.

Note that my normal chapters will have 1k words, while if I'm in a good mood, it will reach 1.5k... So a 50 power stone vote for 1 chapter with 2k words will be not included with my goal of 2k words per day. Meaning I will either publish 2 chapters with 1k words or 1 chapter with 2k words.

It is confusing but you guys deal with it..haha
