Chapter 4- Dangers of hunter world…

I searched on phone for some public information on damaged tomb dungeon as to get a idea what kind of monster would I be dealing with.

Search wasn't much useful except some vague term used for explaining physical appearance of beasts in dungeon. All I figured that It is some sort of insect based monster.

Spending hours surfing on internet was like mirage that left me with only some town to eat and sleep.

Getting good food wasn't option so I had to do with whatever I could afford, eating food was the good part of the day because it didn't have me any tension or suspense to keep thinking about.

I was ready to sleep and many thoughts kept passing through my brain which haven't fully grasped hunter world and its riches, as I was thinking that I can do job being a body guard or use my wolf for luxurious transportation service.

My eyes slowly fell into domain of sleep as it took me into the world of dreams.

"Boy, don't be too impatient because you impatience is always your undoing in end but still keep your progress smart, safe, and fast."

I heard a voice telling me this while I was going through a dream of becoming strong hunter step by step.

…

Waking up, I left the rental staying service which I already paid for to go get a coffee. I was slowly becoming detached from social life so was also in part of using phone.

*Bzzzzzt*

*Bzzzzzt*

*Bzzzzzt*

My phone vibrated which finally made me look at it while I took it out of pocket very lazily.

( Time for team meeting will be 3 pm today and place will be third cafe in hunter corner. - James )

( I will be there in time. - Ariyan )

What kind of skills will these hunters have, do they have some rare skills or they have great proficiency in it. I was unaware of their skills while they know about mine was kicking some kind of self preservation instinct in me leading me to worry despite that hunter corner is one of many safe places if not the most safe one.

Day had just started and it is already this tense which was sort of realization that not everything that painted in image of someone is true like I did in case of hunters.

Hunter corner can only be accessed if you have hunter licence or some special permission card from hunter association. I saw that said place was only 14 kilometres away from where I was standing.

'Empty account and pocket sugggested that it is clearly a good idea to just walk to reach there. It's not like I had anything else to do.'

Walking along the way of shorter route there had lead me to saw see two highly secured areas.

These 2 dungeons that have monoliths build around it to safeguard it and keep eye on it in case of break. These Dungeons were D- Rank Serpant Gave, and B- Rank Death Echo.

Out city's highest rank dungeon is B- Rank Death Echo was most dangerous and it is cleared by most competent team of hunters which involve strongest hunter of our city, Dongista Heart, he is the only B rank hunter that our city have.

My aspirations were to be among that team members who clear this highest rank dungeon and never let anything happen like what happened with my parents.

It was tiring to walk this much without break, I mean I could summon wolf and ride on it but this can cause some confusion, commotion and panic.

[ Ding! Skill proficiency have reached 7%. ]

My skill proficiency continued to increase but speed to slow for any evident change in short time.

I entered the hunter corner, and it was silent unlike what reputation it held for being hustling and bustling with hunter sharing stories and flexing to their friends about how they amazing they performed in the dungeon they have raided so far.

This creepy environment with my overthinking head was creating so many worst scenarios that I had lost the ability to think rational like I would have in case of normal situations.

A man whose clothes were drenched with blood probably his own walked toward me and his eyes looked it were begging for help, I was ready to use my skill to summon wolf to help this guy but this ideas was only there for a spoilt second which was torn into pieces by a menacing hound monster coming behind that man with attention of hunting the pesky creature in front of it.

"Please help." A weak voice escaped man's mouth as he fell to the ground.

Overload of fear eventually broke as Aryan quickly used shadow spell to summon wolf from his shadow, but something happened as mana saved in mana pool slowly dwindled and a portal opened from which came a new wolf which was apparently related to the speed.

Speed wolf picked up Aryan in his mouth with soft but strong enough force to carry him, and then he moved toward the injured man which Aryan carried in his arms when wolf bent head to get close to ground.

All this while, giant wolf from shadow of Aryan stood between them and monster which was making its way toward them.

Wolf had understood that he is not strong enough to have fight but he also had a understanding that it can buy his master some precious time in which they can probably escape.

*Clap*

*Clap*

*Clap*

A thunderous sound of clapping applause rang from all sides as a tall hunter walked from side and with his one gesture that hound monster sat on ground and stuck his tongue out while wagging his tail. All previous image of menacing beast was shattered that instant.

"You did great boy, you actually had an ability breakthrough right there in moment. That does show your promising talent for becoming a good hunter but now you summon these wolfs back because it can just suck out all your mana within few minutes." That hunter said in a happy manner with some deep pain hidden in it, which I couldn't understand.

'Hell even now, it all wasn't making sense to me. What had just happened?'

I could look only to the sides to get idea what had all this mean. Every hunter I looked at smiled back at me with such goofy expressions.

"Youngling it is just a prank and entering test that you cleared with rather splendid scores." Someone out of crowed from sides and said this with proud and happy eyes.
