In a cozy, medieval room setting, a family of five seemed to be eating. But on their plates, there was nothing but raw meat that still had blood on it, while glasses filled with red liquor were set aside as they all used their forks and knives to cut through the meat.With the meat oozing blood from the effort of separating it, the man sitting in the middle chair suddenly shivered, as an expression of anger appeared in his eyes, and immediately, the remaining people sitting on both sides of the table shivered as well, as they all went silent without making even a single sound in hopes of not offending the man.“One of the Bloodless from my treeline has just been killed, and from the location I’m sensing, it seems he was killed inside Phoenix City,” the man said.“Hmm. I thought they were only meant to hunt in the lower region until they fully evolved into Fledgling Vampires,” one of the vampires at the dining table mentioned.“I can’t really tell if he was located by someone strong, n

Jake was finally out of the infirmary by nighttime, he also had a little talk with his team, who had gone to see him with Tess thanking him continuously, and they planned to meet the next day at the captain’s office to receive their reward.(Lionel dealt with all things related to squads, so his office was the one they were planning to go to.)However, on his way home, Jake noticed something strange. A lot of kids playing around were wearing custom-drawn symbols that looked exactly like the Scorpio Team’s emblem. He even heard mothers talking to their children and telling them that if they acted badly, the Scorpio Team would come and arrest them.It had only been a day, but it seemed most of Region F now had a basic understanding of who the Scorpio Team was, and they were clearly happy to have them. It made Jake feel that maybe being recognized wasn’t such a bad thing, as he headed home to his pet hamster, who he was sure would be hella grumpy by now._ _The next day came fast, an

“Before we go deeper into the reason why we are here today, I just want to use this opportunity to thank the great soldiers who have sacrificed their time and energy, day in and day out, to protect the open portals around our region.”“Though we might be the poorest and weakest region, it all comes with a reason, and that is the fact that the number of dungeon portals opening in our territory is far more than we can handle, since our sector is closer to the badlands and forests that housed the demonic beasts.”“So most times, we have to hire either guilds or release some mining rights for a certain period of time to the military of other regions in order for us to continue taking care of the F sector so an outbreak doesn’t occur.”“However, now a situation has come up, there are two Space Gates on the verge of having an outburst today, and others are coming soon, but for now, only two are on the verge of spawning out all the demonic beasts and intelligent lifeforms inside those dungeo

“Ahhh—” Lionel started coughing violently from laughing so hard after entering the portal as he removed the big cigar from his mouth and placed it back into his front pocket, he was completely done with swagging.After he entered the dungeon, the first thing he did was laugh out loud.Meanwhile, the rest of the people around him were trying their best to get a look at their surroundings, especially Jake and his team, who were busy observing everything around them since this was their first time entering a dungeon.But nothing in their minds could have prepared them for the scene before them, there were short green-skinned creatures standing ahead, staring at them like they were prey.Jake, on the other hand, had been quite quick to summon his combat suit, as it started covering him in an instant, they were in some type of underground mine, with flaming lamps placed on both sides of the walls to light up the place. But what looked completely out of place was the castle-like door that

“Fuck. No matter what happens, make sure you all stay together with me,” Jake said towards his teammates as everyone started running the moment they heard Lionel’s order.“Hey, let's meet up on that peak.” Jake said towards the other teams that seems to be moving around chaotic, however now with a target in mind despite the fact they were moving from different locations they at least still looked to be cooperating with each other.Meanwhile, Lionel still held his ground as he switched his Longarm sniper for the Gauss rifle he had assembled earlier and placed on his back strap.The Longarm sniper might have the best damage, but it was a weapon more suited for long-range warfare. In fact, due to the perks of the weapon, the longer the distance, the better, especially because of the recoil and the break that needed to be taken after firing a shot.With all of these disadvantages piled together, it was the very reason he had switched to the Gauss rifle, as it had an adaptability ability,
