Chapter 12: Going viral
Chapter 12: Going ViralJonny had no idea his life had already changed.He was halfway home, humming quietly to himself, when Sophia Hart sat inside Hunter Weekly's tiny newsroom, refreshing her article for what felt like the hundredth time."Come on... At least one hundred views..." She sighed. "No... Even fifty would be nice."The article had been online for less than five minutes.It read: Meet the F-Rank Hunter Who Accidentally Broke the Awakening Crystal, and was worried more About Paying for It.Beneath the headline was Jonny's awkward smile.And his quote."I just hope they don't send me the repair bill."Sophia leaned back in her chair."Maybe it really isn't that interesting." She murmured to herself.Suddenly... Ping!Views: 127"...Already?" She blinked.Another notification appeared.Views: 684"...Huh?"Refresh.2,481"What?"Refresh.9,803Sophia sat upright. Just then, her editor rushed over. "Sophia! What did you post?""I-I don't know!" She replied.The numbers conti
Chapter 11: The First Heroine
Chapter 11: The First HeroineJonny stepped out of the Earth Hunter Association building, his brand-new Hunter License tucked safely inside his jacket pocket."...I actually did it." He whispered to himself one more time as a smile crept across his face.The blue System window appeared.-----------Congratulations, Host.New Title UnlockedThe Weakest HunterTitle Effect: people are more likely to underestimate you.-------------Jonny stared at it."...Is that supposed to be a good thing?"[Situationally advantageous.]"I don't think that's how titles are supposed to work."The System remained silent.Jonny laughed softly.As he descended the stairs, he failed to notice the dozens of reporters gathered outside the Association gates.Most of them were packing away expensive camera equipment."The S-Rank interview's cancelled?""Looks like it.""What a waste of a morning.""I wanted to ask Aurora Frost about Harbor City."One reporter sighed."Nothing exciting happened today anyway."A
Chapter 10: Awakening Test
Chapter 10: The Awakening TestThe examination hall was eerily silent as hundreds of candidates watched as Jonny walked toward the Awakening Crystal.The crowd whispered among themselves."That's the old guy.""The one with no mana.""I still can't believe he actually stayed.""He's about to embarrass himself."Jonny heard every word and just ignored them.His footsteps echoed across the polished marble floor.Soon, he stood before the Awakening Crystal.Up close, it was even more magnificent.The translucent crystal towered nearly three meters high, its interior swirling with rivers of blue mana.It hummed softly, filling the room with an ancient pressure that made breathing feel heavier.The chief examiner stepped forward.He was a stern middle-aged man with silver hair and sharp eyes. "Place your hand on the crystal." He ordered.Jonny nodded. "...Like this?""Yes." The man added. "Remain still until the examination is complete."Jonny swallowed as his palm slowly reached forward.
Chapter 9: Hunter examination
Chapter 9: The Hunter ExaminationJonny stood quietly outside the warehouse after his shift ended. The evening breeze carried the smell of rain."Leon Valor. The Hunters. Every one of them possessed overwhelming strength yes, but what came first?" He questioned as he walked home. "Is it Power, or is it fame? He thought.Jonny sighed. "...System."A familiar blue window materialized before him.[Awaiting Host Query.]He shoved both hands into his pockets."You've been telling me about Hunters ever since you appeared."[Correct.]"You've shown me Gates, Monsters, Mana and everything other thing.""But..." He added as he looked at the evening sky"What does any of that have to do with me?"[Everything.] The system answered."I don't understand." Jonny said.[Without strength... Your fame will eventually fade. And without influence, your strength will eventually stagnate.]"...So I need both."[Correct.]Jonny hesitated before asking the next question. a question had been bothering him s
Chapter 8: Hero
The break room fell into complete silence, not a single person blinked nor spoke. Every pair of eyes remained fixed on the television.The enormous black Gate hanging over Harbor City continued to split apart as the air around it distorted violently and purple lightning crashed across the sky.The cameraman stumbled backward."H-Hold the shot!"The image shook violently. Just then, Something emerged. A massive claw it was jet black. Large enough to crush an armored truck.It slowly gripped the edge of the Gate before pulling itself forward. The creature's head followed, it resembled a wolf...That would be If wolves stood nearly twenty feet tall. Its crimson eyes glowed like burning coals and rows of razor-sharp teeth stretched into a terrifying grin.The news anchor's voice trembled."Confirmed visual... A B-Rank Shadow Direwolf..."The monster released a deafening roar.ROOOOOAAARRR!!Even through the television speakers, the sound sent chills through the warehouse. One of Jonny's
Chapter 7: The Mana Apocalypse (Back Story
Chapter 7: The Mana ApocalypseThe warehouse floor echoed with the rhythmic hum of conveyor belts. Boxes slid across steel rollers. Forklifts beeped as they weaved between towering stacks of cargo.Jonny wiped the sweat from his forehead before lifting another carton onto a wooden pallet.His body moved on instinct.Lift.Stack.Turn.Repeat.It had become second nature after nearly three years of working at Graystone Logistics.Normally, he would've been counting the hours until lunch but today his thoughts were elsewhere."Become unforgettable..."How exactly would an ordinary warehouse worker become unforgettable? Without embarrassing himself, Or getting arrested."...Definitely not robbing a bank," he muttered."What?" Mark, the loudest worker in the warehouse, looked over. "You say something?"Jonny quickly shook his head. "N-No. Just talking to myself."Mark laughed. "You've gotta stop doing that, man. It makes you look crazy."Jonny forced an awkward smile. "If only you knew...
