Chapter 53
As Miles walked, his phone suddenly buzzed in his pocket.Miles pulled it out.A notification flashed across the screen.Reminder: School Resumes TomorrowMiles stopped walking.“…Oh.”He stared at the screen for a moment before letting out a quiet sigh.He had been so focused on hunting, earning money, and getting stronger that he had completely lost track of time. His two-week suspension had passed without him even noticing.Thankfully, he had set a reminder beforehand—just in case.Otherwise, he might have missed the first day back entirely.Miles slipped the phone back into his pocket.School.It felt strangely distant now.Just two weeks ago, he had left those halls as a powerless student—someone looked down upon, someone who kept his head low, someone who avoided confrontation because he had no strength to back it up.Now…Everything had changed.The next morning arrived quickly.Miles stood in front of the towering school gates, staring quietly at the familiar sight.It had on

Miles’ eyes remained steady.“I’m doing fine on my own.”The silence between them stretched briefly.James exhaled softly, then smiled again.Well… I can’t say I didn’t expect some resistance. Still, I must admit, I’m impressed. Most hunters would have signed without even reading the second page.”Miles shrugged slightly.“I’m not hunting for comfort.”He thought briefly of Mia.Every decision he made revolved around her.Freedom mattered more than security right now.Speed mattered more than stability.He couldn’t afford delays.He couldn’t afford being assigned to guild missions that didn’t align with his goals.“You’re serious?” James asked, shaking his head slightly. “You might be too young to fully understand what you’re turning down.”Miles didn’t respond.James leaned forward, his tone becoming more persuasive.“Mr. Reed… may I offer you a piece of advice.”Miles looked up.“Solo hunters who grow too quickly tend to attract attention. Not all of it is friendly.”Miles’ express

After a moment, Miles nodded.“…Alright.”James smiled.“This way, please.”The two of them walked side by side down the street. A few minutes later, they arrived at a quiet café not far from the trade center. The late afternoon sun filtered softly through the glass windows, and the atmosphere inside was calm.They took seats across from each other.James folded his hands neatly on the table.Miles leaned back slightly, watching him carefully.Whatever this proposal was…It was clear his quiet solo hunts had finally drawn serious attention.James Kerr leaned back slightly in his chair, maintaining a polite smile as he began the conversation.“I must say, Mr. Reed… you’ve become quite popular among the hunters who frequent the Outlands recently. Many of them have started referring to you as—”“The Hoarder,” Miles finished calmly.James chuckled softly. “Yes. That’s the nickname going around. It’s not often someone attracts that kind of attention in such a short time. Especially a solo

For the next several weeks, Miles maintained a routine that quickly became second nature to him. Every morning, he would leave early, ensuring Mia was either asleep or distracted, careful not to reveal where he was truly going. To her, he was simply taking on small hunter-related jobs, nothing too dangerous—just enough to earn money gradually. She never suspected that her quiet, reserved brother was venturing deep into the Outlands alone day after day, fighting demonic beasts and pushing himself to the brink.Each trip followed a similar pattern. Miles would cross the border gate with minimal conversation, sprint across the familiar terrain, and hunt relentlessly until the sun began its descent. Goblins, kobloids, horned wolves, spiked lizards—anything that crossed his path became prey. His movements grew sharper with every hunt, his reaction speed faster, his control over his abilities more refined. The hell flames he once used cautiously now flowed more naturally, burning hotter and

Inside the bag were dozens of shimmering mana stones, each glowing faintly under the bright lights of the trade center. Mixed among them were carefully stored monster materials—claws, horns, teeth, and other valuable parts harvested from demonic beasts. For a moment, she simply stared. Then she slowly looked back up at Miles. “…Did you hunt all of this today?” Miles nodded. “Yeah.” The woman blinked. Hunters normally returned with a handful of stones after a hunt. Even organized raid parties often brought back less than what Miles had just dumped onto the counter. Yet here was a single hunter—one young man—unloading an entire backpack filled with valuable materials. She swallowed. “Please give me a moment.” Her tone had shifted noticeably. She immediately began sorting through the contents, placing mana stones into the evaluation scanner while cataloging the monster materials. The machine hummed softly as it processed the stones one by one. Beep. Another stone entered
Chapter 48
For the next several hours, the hunt continued. Miles moved like a phantom, shadows dancing across his path. Each encounter followed a rhythm he had perfected over years of practice and survival. He would spot a creature, measure its distance, anticipate its attack pattern, and strike before it could react.He harvested mana crystals from the corpses, vital organs, and rare components from the beasts—careful to gather everything that might carry value in the human realm.Every step, every strike, every crystal gathered… it’s for Mia, he reminded himself. Everything I do out here, every risk I take… it’s for her.He paused briefly at a jagged cliff, gazing over a valley alive with residual mana currents. The sun was dipping lower, painting the Outlands in streaks of crimson and violet. His body ached slightly from exertion, but his regeneration ability had long healed his minor cuts and bruises, leaving only a light sheen of sweat across his skin.Finally, after a relentless day of hun
