Chapter: 7An atmosphere of shouting and chaos prevailed in the Nameless section. Manas was trying to calm everyone down. Those in the group felt that the humiliation inflicted upon their friend was inflicted upon them as well; they wanted revenge. Realizing he couldn't silence everyone, he climbed onto the table and shouted for them to quiet down, and all sounds in the hall suddenly ceased. Speaking up again, he said no revenge would be taken, as no one supports us in the academy. Making a wrong move would get all of us expelled.From amidst the crowd, a pale-skinned, black-haired, thin boy named Drutan stood up and said that there is actually a fair and rule-compliant way for revenge; we can challenge them to a match. Right now, they still can't use their powers like us, so this way we can teach them a lesson.Manas angrily said that is true, we can defeat them now, but what will happen when they grow stronger? If they try to take revenge on us later, it won't be good for us at all. Remember t

Chapter: 6Chapter 6Hearing his number, Kayn headed towards the door with trembling steps; his heart felt like it was about to jump out of his chest from excitement. The official quickly shoved the pill into the hand of the boy in front of him. Kayn swallowed the pill in a single gulp and began to wait; with each passing second, the fear of failure multiplied.Just when he thought he had failed, he began to feel a warmth in his chest; the warmth slowly enveloped his entire body. He could feel his power down to his marrow. At that moment, the life energy radiating from his body was enough to leave everyone's jaws dropped.The life energy was black in color, not transparent like the others, but completely dark. Those in the crowd whispered among themselves, "This is a boss-class!"Hearing them, Eric didn't understand what was going on, nudged the boy standing next to him, and asked what this meant.The boy was surprised by the question. Turning to Eric, he laughed and said, "Don't you really know

Chapter: 5Eric POVWhen the morning sun illuminated the horizon, the cool and sweet morning breeze caressed Eric's face. Rubbing his eyes, Eric looked around; since he had slept in front of the stable, what happened yesterday was not a dream but reality. He got up cheerfully and stood up.After yawning to shake off his sluggishness, realizing his stomach was empty, he went in front of the hut to have breakfast, and as he was returning to the stable to start his chores, he noticed Kayn coming toward him from a distance. There was a very surprised expression on his face.Coming over to Eric, Kayn hugged him and said, "Thank you, and I'm sorry for everything, please forgive me, I said very bad things to you."Stepping back, Eric looked at Kayn and replied, "It doesn't matter, you're my friend after all."Actually, with these words, Kayn would trust Eric even more, and this would work to his advantage.Kayn still couldn't believe what had happened. Despite saying such bad things to him, Eric had st

Chapter: 4Chapter 4Eric POVFergus was quite surprised by what he heard. Fulfilling this request wasn't a problem for him, but to become a hunter, one needed to be able to use life energy, and such individuals came from specific bloodlines. The probability of a commoner possessing such a talent was one in 100,000.Despite knowing this probability, Eric trusted his luck. Or rather, a gut feeling deep inside told him so. His instincts had never failed him up to this day.With a surprised expression, Fergus asked, "Are you sure about this? Is there anyone in either of your bloodlines capable of becoming a hunter?"Stepping in, Eric replied, "At least I want to try. If it doesn't work out, you can send my friend and me to another country, right?"Fergus found this idea smart; either way, the children would benefit, and he would come out ahead.Looking at Eric, Fergus said, "Alright, that works for me. Now go get some rest; I'll send you and your friend to the academy trials in 2 weeks."Hearing th

Chapter: 3 Eric POVHe was following the man who made his way through the silent darkness of the night, having no intention of turning him in just yet, merely curious to see what he would do. In Eric's view, the man was a thief with a plan to take advantage of the banquet to rob the house, so he continued to watch him.However, there was one thing he couldn't understand: why would a life energy user, moving like a shadow, engage in petty theft?According to what he had heard, individuals capable of using life energy became extremely powerful, and they were commonly known as hunters.Hunters were a large community that hunted monsters in the wild lands belonging to the Kingdom of Arkadia.When Eric looked ahead again, he saw the man climbing through a window. He was very excited, but at the same time, he rather enjoyed the feeling, imagining himself as a true hunter.For Eric, who lived a monotonous and boring life, even the simplest adventure felt like something wonderful. He pushed his thought

Chapter: 2The soldiers behind him stopped running, drew the bows from their waists, nocked their arrows, pulled the bowstrings taut, and waited for the order. At the commander's order to "fire at will," arrows came whizzing through the air toward the man.The old man could now taste death in his throat as six arrows pierced his back simultaneously. He groaned in pain and collapsed to the ground. His journey had finally reached its end. Dying this way caused him deep agony; he had never experienced happiness throughout his life: his father was killed, his mother was forcefully taken and sold as a slave, and he had no brothers or sisters. Later, he got a new family, but his bad luck still refused to leave him. His first three children died of disease, while the last one was sold as a slave, leaving goodness knows what fate in store for him. On top of all that, his beloved wife, Alya, had suddenly fallen ill and passed away before he even understood what was happening. He began to cry, asking hims
