Chapter 182: Scraps
"What a load of bullshit."Kyle stood by the gear table, his fingers brushing over a scratched-up dagger. It wasn't shiny or cool like the swords the other recruits were grabbing—it was small, chipped, and kind of sad-looking.'It's something, I guess,' he thought with a smirk. He slipped it into his belt, then grabbed a basic vest that smelled like old sweat and metal. It hung loose on his skinny frame, but it'd have to do.Around him, the other newbies were buzzing with energy. Muscle Guy flexed in his new vest like he was posing for a billboard, while Red Hair twirled a knife between his fingers—until he dropped it and cursed loud enough to echo.Bow Girl was quieter, testing the weight of a short bow with a nod, like she already knew what she was doing. Kyle just tried not to trip over his own boots as he shuffled back to the benches.Instructor Wolfe stood on the platform, arms crossed, watching them like a hawk. His scar gleamed under the warehouse lights, and his gravelly voice
Chapter 181: Test? Already
Kyle leaned against the wall by the east door, his hands stuffed deep in his pockets. The Tiger Guild lobby still hummed around him—people coming and going, their voices a low buzz that made his head spin.He could still feel the weight of everyone's stares, the whispers about the "slum freak" who'd knocked out Scarface with a single touch. His patched jeans and faded shirt felt like a neon sign screaming "I don't belong here." But he was in. Barely, sure, but in.He shifted his weight, wincing as his boots squeaked on the shiny floor. His legs ached from the ten-mile walk, and his arm still stung under the bandages from that monster fight. 'Man, I need a nap,' he thought, rubbing his eyes. '"Or a sandwich. Or both.' His stomach growled, loud enough that a guy nearby—a slick-looking dude with a sword slung over his back—shot him a weird look."Uh, sorry," Kyle muttered, turning red. Sword Guy just smirked and walked off, leaving Kyle to slump back against the wall. 'Great. Even my sto
Chapter 180: I'm in?
Kyle slouched in the hard plastic chair, his patched jeans creaking against the seat. The Hunter Guild lobby buzzed around him—people chatting, boots clacking on the shiny floor, and the hum of that fancy air conditioning making his skin prickle. He stared at his boots, scuffed and muddy from the long walk, trying to ignore the whispers and smirks from the other applicants. 'Natalie believes in me,' he told himself, clenching his fists. 'That's enough.' He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice the three girls walking up to him until they were right there. They didn't look mean—no sneers or fancy coats like the jerks outside. Just curious, maybe. One had short black hair and a freckled nose, another rocked a ponytail and a bright green jacket, and the third had glasses that kept slipping down her face. "Hey," Freckles said, tilting her head. "You're from the slums, right? Like, the real slums?" Kyle blinked, caught off guard. "Uh... yeah? Why?" Ponytail grinned, lean
Chapter 179: There's a system?
Kyle walked down the sparkling streets, his head tilted back, mouth half-open like a kid seeing the sky for the first time. The buildings here were tall—way taller than anything in the slums.Glass and metal stretched up so high he swore they were scraping the clouds. Lights blinked on giant screens, flashing ads for energy drinks and Hunter gear, and he couldn't stop staring.It was like stepping into one of those old sci-fi movies Natalie loved to ramble about."Wow," he muttered, tripping over his own feet as he craned his neck to look at a billboard with a Hunter posing—some guy in sleek black armor holding a glowing sword. "That's so cool..."Beep! Beep!A loud honk snapped him out of it. He stumbled back just as a shiny red car screeched to a stop, inches from his legs. The driver—a guy with slick hair and sunglasses—leaned out the window, face red with anger."Watch where you're going, you dumb slum rat!" the guy yelled, shaking a fist. "Get out of the road before I run you ove
Chapter 178: Until Now
The city of Necrus sprawled across the horizon like a beast that refused to die. It was massive—like two cities smashed together, then stretched even wider. Towering skyscrapers gleamed in the center, their glass and steel catching the sun, while sprawling slums and crumbling districts fanned out around them. Three years after the Abyss Gates opened, Necrus had become a patchwork of hope and despair. The rich and the Hunters lived in the heart of the city, surrounded by clean streets and guarded walls. The rest? They clung to the edges, where Kyle and Natalie called home. Kyle's part of town was the worst of the worst. Broken pavement, rusted husks of cars, and the constant stink of rot and smoke. It was where the poor ended up, the ones too weak or too unlucky to climb out. The slums weren't just neglected; they were forgotten, left to fend for themselves when monster breaks happened. Kyle had grown up there, scraping by, dreaming of something better but never quite believing i
Chapter 177: Huh?
Kyle's heart hammered in his chest as he stared at the monster he'd just punched. It wasn't dead—not yet. The scaly beast shook its head, dazed, then let out a guttural roar that made his stomach twist.Sure, he'd absorbed something from that dead monster corpse, and yeah, he felt stronger than ever, but this thing? It was still terrifying. Its claws glinted in the light, and its jagged teeth snapped at the air.This wasn't a video game. This was real, and Kyle was *not* ready."Crap, crap, crap," he muttered, stumbling back. His newfound strength buzzed in his limbs, but his brain hadn't caught up. The monster lunged, swiping a claw at his chest.He dodged—barely—but the tip sliced through his hoodie and grazed his skin, leaving a stinging red line. "Ow! Son of a—" He swung his fist again, aiming for its head. The punch connected, a wet crack echoing as the monster's jaw twisted sideways.It staggered, but Kyle's confidence faltered when it roared again, louder, angrier. He wasn't a
