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 was sleeping soundly when he felt a sudden urge to call Jeremy. He knocked on the latter's door but heard no answer.

"If you're looking for Jeremy, he's in the kitchen," Gwen said and smiled. "None of us can sleep. Gary is there too."

Allen smiled back. "Alright. Let's go."

It was already midnight. The four of them were drinking coffee and eating snacks in the kitchen while talking about how far they have reached.

"You are a big-time person now," Gary teased. "From the Wandering Trader, to the man above the food chain."

"I couldn't have done any of these without you though," Allen said. "My success is also your success since we've helped each other out from the start."

"How will you weed Roger Huntsman out?" Jeremy asked. "Or could we even do that?"

"That's why we recruited all of the Bearers except for one, Claire," Allen said. "By far, she has been the most suspicious of them all."
