One: The Man Nobody Sees
Sweat dripped from his skin, while his legs shook rapidly underneath the table.His heart made a little prayer, that the man before him considers his plea for money.The man was in a fine tailored suit with colourless glasses on. He was in his late 40s.His eyes were fixed on his laptop and didn't raise his head once to peak at Nathan.His phone beeps a call, startling him almost immediately.Deepening his hand into his pocket, he took out the phone.His weary eyes rose in high alert as he read the name on the pop-up screen: The Don.He swallowed and ignores the call."Please sir, I beg you to recondition. I promise, I'll pay you back the money." The young man crossed his fingers together, pulling closer to the table that separated them."This is an organization not a charity center. Don't think it's because you're dating my daughter, you can come here and demand money from me. I've already told her how useless you are, I wonder why she's still under that roof!" The man spoke with a r
Two: Hope Is Only A Word
He drags his feet through the door as he enters the house.His head bend from the disappointment he had faced earlier.The zipping sound of a bag pulls him back together and he lifts his head.It's Elsosa.Her clothes were neatly arranged in the bag she just closed.She took hold of the bag's handle, ready to leave.Nathan stood still before the door with eyes widened by shock."Elsa...What are you doing?" He asked her.Elsa was what he usually call her as a cut from Elsosa."What does it look like I'm doing? I'm leaving." She said while pulling her bag on the floor as it felt heavy to carry."Why..." His voice breaks.Elsosa’s got her duffel bag slung over her shoulder, zipper half-broken, the strap fraying at the edge. Her eyes are not wet. She doesn't look at him. "Move aside!"Nathan stands between Elsosa and the door. His shirt clings to his back, damp with sweat.“Please don’t,” Nathan says. The word comes out low, thick, like it’s been dragged up from his throat. He holds out
Three: Back To The Trench
He was going to jump off the building the day Elsosa met him on the roof.He had made up his mind to have no reason to live.But then, he found a new purpose of living, thanks to her.She had hidden him in the house without out the knowledge of her parents.She even stole her father's money, so he could complete highschool as she had fallen in love with him.It's been two years since he completed high school and eventually four years since Elsosa has been hiding her under her father's roof.Eventually, Mr. Edgar figured them out and chased Nathan out of the house.Elsosa made a trantrum at her father's decision and left with Nathan.Nathan got a job few weeks later, where he fend for a little apartment. But, it didn't last more than two months before he was fired.His boss accused him of seducing his clients.It was a stupid excuse to get him kicked out.After he lost his first job, he was unable to get another.Despite all his applications.Employers insisted that he had a university
Four: At The Mercy Of Don
The Don. Leader of deadly scavengers that'll kill for thirst.They don’t say his name out loud in the lower districts. Not if they still want to survive another day. Or sleep through the night.They call him “The Don.”He’s huge— not the soft, padded kind of big that comes from rich food and no work, but the dense, heavy kind that comes from years of violence and muscle that was built lifting, dragging, breaking. When he walks into a room, people don’t look him in the eye. They look at the floor, at the door, at anywhere that isn’t him.His tattoos are like a map on his skin. Black and red tattoos coil around his arms and neck like serpents.The Don doesn't rule with a crown on his head. He rules with control. An ultimate power that bends his subject to his will.The underworld literally belongs to him.It's not like the glamorous casinos and penthouses in the city. But the back alleys, the abandoned warehouses, the black markets that runs through routes in the sewage tunnels.He is
Five: The First Raid
Those who submitted themselves before Don after the bell stopped were punished. Nathan and Malik were lucky to escape.The defaulters were prohibited from going on the raid. For that they owed Don money.Everything seemed new to Nathan. Although, one thing he grabbed was that they are rules under Don's building. Failure to abide might just increase the debt you owe him.It was too early to ask questions, but he was too curious to ignore it.He patted Malik by his side and whispered, “What is going on?”“Shh! Don will brief us about it.” He replied in whispers.“Listen y'all! Today's raid is going to be quite different. Our victims are wrapped in the skins of humans. However, they possess red eyes and once shot once, they transform.”Nathan gulped on hearing this information. Fear gripped him immediately.He could feel sweat tripping from his skin.So, the enemy isn't even human? He asked himself.A second thought crossed his mind. Should he forfeit this mission?He'd probably be beate
Six: The Secret System
“What are you waiting for? Pull the trigger.” Malik forced himself to say.His neck was being choked by the vampire lady. She was going to bite him.Nathan was behind them both, guns pointed to her back while his hands staggered.“Don't be such a weakling. Plea...se.” Malik pleaded. He was dying.Nathan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.He shot twice, hitting her back with his bullet.She collapsed on the floor.The blue screen popped up above his head, revealing a message.[No reward gained. Weapon used must be from the system store.]“The system's store?” He muttered, wondering what that was.Malik felt his neck. Her finger marks were on them. He whispered a prayer and gave a thumbs up to Nathan.From the kit, Malik took a blade.“What's that for?” Nathan asked.“For their fangs. There's money in them.” He replied and took out her fangs.“That's... That's a real vampire isn't it?" Nathan pointed out with a trembling voice. He couldn't believe his eyes.“Yeah! On my first day I
Seven: Power
The vampires were swift. Strong.The hunters were no match for them eventually. Even Nathan and Malik weren't left out..Malik barely stabbed two, while Nathan did nothing but stand there, behind Malik shaking.Malik couldn't blame him. He was also afraid at this point.It was obvious that they were going to lose the war.[Store: Acquire a weapon][Skills section: Acquire a skill]--Nathan breath faintly. His eyes blurry with his blood crawling into his eyes.He was lying helplessly on the floor as he was thrown to the ground by a vampire.Malik on the other hand barely breathe. His leg was broken and he was about beaten by a vampire.[Store: Acquire a weapon][Skills section: Acquire a skill]The screen before him kept displaying the notifications. Even after he neglected it finally.“What strength do I have to use a weapon.” He said to himself.As he laid on the floor, a memory flashed before him. A sad one.He recalled how his father chased him out of the house. How Elsosa's fathe
Eight: The Power System
“The weak will always be trampled upon.” Those words echoed in Nathan's mind.He was on the floor. Almost as good as lifeless.On the screen was a healing elixir. Only one.He had no choice. He'd definitely die if the vampire king gets another hit on him.The strength had weakened. It's like a battery that runs down when excessively used.He took the elixir and drank half of it's content.He was healed instantly. No scratch, sprain or broken bones.“Man! I should have drank little of that.” He muttered to himself.“That was impressive. So you're a magician?” The vampire king was curious.Nathan swings his fist to land a punch on the vampire's jaw, but the king doesn't flight. Not even a blink. He smiles, slow and his fairly opened mouth reveals his fangs that are too sharp.Then he hits back.It's just a strike with the back of his hand but Nathan found himself coughing.“Damn!” He exclaimed as he remembered he forgot to pick a skill.There's still so much he needs to learn from this
Nine: Battle Of Legends
A Bentley truck stopped by the bar of the underworld. Two hunky men dressed in neat suits walked out of it.They both wore black goggles and kept a strict look. One with gray hair, a bit older in age and the other blonde, young.They marched into the bar. Their feet moving in rhythm.As they entered, they didn't sit at a table or go to the bartender. Instead, they went straight to the door that led to Don's territory.The bartender tried to stop them but a swift punch had shit him up instantly.Don was sitting on his chair when they arrived. His cigarette taking smokes to the air as he kept to his phone's screen.“Ryder.” Don called, surprised to see him.“Don.” The gray hair man said coldly.“You never told me you're coming around. You and your...friend?” Don muttered with his eyes shaky.“I'm Mani. He's assistant.” The blonde hair waved.“Reports have reached the association that you send out unqualified hunters to high rank portals to raid. I mean.”“You mean 'F' ranks hunters? No
Ten: The New Hunter
He was blinks his eyes open gently. The rays that escaped from the windows made him squint.He's dead. He's sure of it.“Is this heaven?” He stuttered to himself.He lowered his gaze to see his legs stretched in a comfy duvet cover.The bed which he was lying upon was equally soft.He sat up. His hand holding his forehead as though it could wedge the pain he was feeling in his head.He wondered if he was actually in heaven or it was just a mere dream.His clothes were changed to a white linen which triggered the thought.The room was large and looked luxurious. He definitely can't afford such a room in real life.He could feel his hands and his feet, which meant he might be alive.Just as he thought about it, the screen popped up revealing it's visibility.SYSTEM UPDATE: [First mission accomplished.][Gifts acquired. 100 coins.]“Ugh!” Nathan groaned. “So, it's real.” He smirked suddenly. Happy that it was actually real.“Is it even a real coin? I wonder what I can do with it?”He fo
