The balance of the world collapsed when portals opened up to different worlds. Humans were granted systems to hunt the beasts in the Otherworlds. These beasts could give the Hunters their Codes, granting them special abilities and weapons.

In this world, Allen was born with an incurable disease that rendered his throat unable to utter words. He could only produce hissing sounds that made the other Hunters to bully him relentlessly.

He was the freak without a family.

But his world had shifted when he accidentally killed the lost beast and gained its Code. The Code of the Primordial Snake, one of the strongest beasts of the Otherworlds.

Allen watched as Corry and Ash cleaned their blades. He felt too conflicted as to what to feel after witnessing them stab someone with their swords, their movements too swift to be seen by the eyes or felt by the skin.

"Y-You…" Allen trailed off. "Who are you two?"

"The debauchery duo of the Zodiac. Ashtor and Corrux, or Ash and Corry for short," Ash introduced.

Corry and Ash were the supposed couple that Allen saved from the black bear a while back. While they did flee the scene, they saw Allen again after a few weeks and that's when they gave him good quality Codes that he first used to get by.

Corry nodded, "We found out what Leo wanted to do to you, so we decided to just abandon him and his lousy plans. He wanted power all to himself, that's why he didn't want you to exist any longer."

"But what does that mean?" Allen asked. "I'm not doing anything to him or to anyone outside of our world."
