There are a total of thirty people who came to the forest to hunt down Claire. They are fully committed to the mission because of the reward that awaits them. And part of this group of mercenary are the high profile ones. Mercenaries who don’t usually join in any operation.This just proves how promising Gerald Ragencliff’s rewards are. This isn’t just some generous donation after all. The one who wins that evening will be given a property that will continually generate cash for them. Meaning, they don’t need to stay in this line of work anymore. After they get their hands on Claire and Rune, they will be free from the life of mercenaries.Some of the mercenaries have already begun thinking of the good life that awaited them. Some thought of all the women that they can sleep with after they get that wealth. Some thought of gambling and paying back mountains of debts. Still others thought of leisurely spending the rest of their days. Burning the cash every month and waiting for their p

Octavia and the others didn’t remain idle during the whole duration of the fight. In fact, as soon as the first explosion came about, they woke up instantly. After all, there probably wouldn’t be anyone who could stay asleep with the amount of commotion that Asther made.This is also part of the reason why Asther started of the attack in that way. He wanted them to wake up because, through this, he wouldn’t need to worry about them getting killed or kidnapped in their sleep.However, as for the action itself, the group didn’t get to do any fighting at all. When they arrived at the scene of the battle, there isn’t anyone left for them to fight anymore. Asther and his undead have taken care of all the mercenaries.[You have cleared the first Sub Quest!]“Alright. Two left.” Asther said as he closed the quest window.“What on earth happened here?” Octavia asked as soon as she got close to him. Making the necromancer notice her presence.“So you guys finally woke up.” Asther said.“Come o

Asther positioned himself on top of a roof. As a sniper, having high ground like this is optimal for him to scan the surroundings. Although he doesn’t have binoculars, night goggles, or any other device that would help him out in that situation, he still has his Keen Eyes. The same ability that has been of great help to him since he acquired it.With this, Asther is able to see the number of guards positioned around the manor of the Ragencliffs. The place is heavily guarded, making it close to impossible to get in without alerting security.But this dilemma only exists for inferior assassins. Asther himself finds no trouble in the current situation he is facing. With all of the experience he built up on earth, medieval security methods is a piece of cake for him. Especially with all of the spells that he has at his disposal.Thirty. This is the total number of guards around the household. This is only an estimated number and, Asther has yet to place the guards that could be inside the

Darkness. Asther doesn’t like sleeping that much. In fact, he wants to avoid this as much as possible. And that’s because of the things that it shows him. Or rather, what it fails to show him.Within his dreams, Asther sees nothing but darkness. Whereas other people dream of lives that are far from reality. Where kings and castles and mystical creatures even exist, Asther himself has never experienced anything else other than the darkness.And that moment is no different. Asther has nothing but the pitch black emptiness that he has never gotten used to. A void that can never be filled by anything. And just like any other time, he only realizes that he is out of this “dream” when light begins to penetrate.“Hey guys, I think he’s finally awake.” These are the first words that Asther heard. Words that came from a familiar tone. That of Octavia.“What…”“Whoa slow down. You shouldn’t talk just yet.” Octavia said. “Wait a moment, I’m just gonna get a towel.”Right after Octavia said this,

Hades Dungeon. This is the one that is closest to the current location of the group. There is actually a good number of dungeons within Jhinn. In fact, these places come in abundance.Although they are all filled with monsters, the said creatures aren’t actually able to leave the place until they are called forth by the Demon Lord. And since this entity has long been slain by the hero, the dungeons have remained in a dormant state. Meaning, they aren’t worth getting worked up about to the point that they need to be guarded. Nor is there any group fond enough to enter them.The only way a dungeon can be destroyed is by taking out everything that exists inside of this. But as has been mentioned, nobody wants to enter them because of the risk of not being able to escape them anymore.But Asther’s group is different. They don’t have any other choice but to enter this for the sake of training. They need to go inside in order to get stronger. All for the sake of ensuring the safety of Clair
