A man was standing in front of the incubator device as Jordan opened his eyes, and after confirming he was still alive, the man spoke. “Well done boy, you did a good job. Proceed to the attribute section where you will be tested and the choice to join the hunter academy will be given to you.”After the man said this, he stepped forward and helped Elion out from the incubation dream piercer.Elion walked to the section he was directed to go, and along the path, he was the only one walking. Different dream piercer machines stood side by side, at his end, already open, and this startled him, meaning he is the last to wake up of the dream piercer machines.He could have died, but somehow he survived. There is a specific time fixed on the device, that if one couldn’t wake up within that frame, he or she will be proclaimed dead, but somehow Elion did the impossible; he woke up after about twenty minutes of the time which ideally was fixed for all dreamers to wake up.The soldier who had ope

Elion stared at Muzan and Muzan stared back. He was trying his possible best to contain himself, and when he did, he smiled gently at the boy before suddenly frowning. “Sorry kid, we can’t accept you into the Hunters Academy. If you had awakened your core and as well have an attribute, then you would have had the chance of partaking in the process of becoming a Hunter.”Elion’s eyes widened in disbelief after hearing this. He was more terrified compared to the devil being he just saw. The bird mark on his chest didn’t fade out, thus it didn’t make any difference. If the spell didn’t kill him at thirteen when he was supposed to, then what makes it become something that will kill him now that he’s sixteen?Elion leaned forward, his eyes welling up in tears as he tried to speak. “Please sir, this has always been my dream. I want to become a Hunter. I want to help fight those monsters that have been the cause of my father’s death and as well protect the city.”Tears dropped down from Elio

Muzan’s hand gently ran down his long beard as he stared at Elion, who was still standing at the threshold of the door. Elion was just so still that it felt like his entire consciousness was taken by something, by something more darker than expected.Muzan wasn’t going to jump into the hero state by going forward to save James; he could tell that whatever was emitting from Elion’s body was very dark, so dark that even he couldn’t comprehend.“This is unpredicted, never have I thought I would ever sense this kind of energy again.” Muzan mumbled the words, so deep that it felt like fear was crawling in every part of his body.This was the exact feeling he had when he was almost killed at the second gate they went through, where Muzan’s teammate Zarek came, fought, and sacrificed his life in order for him to survive. He couldn’t vividly remember what had happened, so wildly that he can never forget that day, but here lies the question: what exactly is happening now? Why is such energy se

They both headed out of the room, and while passing through the passage, Elion’s gaze darted around. He never knew a place like this ever existed inside the city, or perhaps could he be taken to somewhere else?The passage was long and stretching, and side by side lay glasses that are transparent, making it vividly clear to see the rooms inside. And it looks similar to the room Elion was placed inside, and inside these rooms, Elion could see other humans like him laying on beds. Some were with mechanical joints, as though they had undergone something terrifying that needed their body to be fixed.A lot of other things stretched before Elion’s eyes, making him shiver in fear, but he wouldn’t let that fear showcase. He was going to gulp it down; all he wanted at the moment was to see his sister. But before then, he became curious to ask if she was fine. Thus, Muzan had made it clear to him that she is, but the need to ask became so necessary that it made Elion pause on his steps.Muzan

“Yes, sir. I won’t proceed with the investigation. I will do as you have said,” Amanda pretended like she had agreed to the instructions from Muzan, and so she ended the call.Muzan from the other end sighed. He knew Amanda wouldn’t stick to that order, but at the same time, he knew how strong Amanda was. She is one of the S-rank hunters with fully built skills and a modified body, and she had gone into multiple gates and came back alive, so getting into one of such shouldn’t be something he should be burdened about.“---”At the other end, Amanda was still behind a tree, waiting for the right time she will get in, but the men hadn’t yet finished packing their boxes into the gate.The gate is like a swirling sparkle of blue dust, which, even if the eye tried to see what is behind the gate, it will fail. The only way one could see what is behind the gate is by going through it.After a while of waiting, the men were finally done packing up, and the last person who is holding the last b
