Marcus dashed straight at Elijah. Within seconds, both of them were within arm's length. Elijah stood in a defensive stance, while Marcus took a completely aggressive approach. Marcus unleashed a constant barrage of attacks, but Elijah was able to easily parry them all. Although Elijah clearly had the upper hand, Maxwell and Jaxen utilized every opportunity to help. Whenever Elijah tried to co

Chapter 51 : Dark elves.
The raid team entered the B+ rank dungeon. Unlike last time, Benson had prepared more than adequately for this raid. The raid team was almost up to fifty raiders. Most were low C and D ranks, but it also consisted of some heavy hitters. Among them were Garret, the C+ rank spearman, John, a B-rank hunter, several other B ranks, and the strongest by far in the group—Miguel. Jaxen walked up front with Benson. He wanted to avoid walking next to Miguel as much as possible, fearing Miguel would notice his true identity. He kept his head down, his mask firmly in place, his posture deliberately different from how he usually carried himself. Sadly for him, Miguel knew everything. But he kept things on the low. For now. The portal rift shimmered behind them as they stepped through. The transition was always disorienting—a moment of weightlessness, then solid ground beneath their feet. "So what have you been up to, kid?" Benson asked, his voice jovial. "Haven't heard from you since t
Chapter 50: Miguel and the grayzone . An unbalanced combination.
Jaxen woke up to the gentle hum of his phone vibrating against the nightstand. He reached out blindly, his fingers fumbling for the device before finally grasping it. He blinked against the brightness of the screen and read the message. Liberty Guild Notice: Good morning, raiders. Today is a mandatory day off following yesterday's successful raid. The guild will be calculating profits and assessing performance metrics. Rest and recover. You've earned it. See you tomorrow. Jaxen read the message twice. A day off. He'd almost forgotten what those felt like. The academy had been nonstop. The guild had been nonstop. Even his days off before had been spent worrying about his sister, about money, about survival. He stared at the ceiling for a moment, letting the news sink in. A day off meant he could do whatever he wanted. No meetings. No briefings. No raids. Finally. He sat up and swung his legs out of bed. His body ached from yesterday's fight—his muscles were sore, his arms
Chapter 49 : The Black Knight.
The raid team entered the dungeon gate, with Jaxen and Anthony leading the group. They were a total of sixteen raiders—a mix of ranks, classes, and experience levels. Upon entering the dungeon, they noticed immediately that the interior was unique compared to most dungeon gates they'd encountered before. The interior wasn't a standard cave, swamp, or village. Rather, it seemed to be the inside of some sort of castle. The ceiling stretched out meters above them, too far to even think about jumping high enough to reach it. The walls had no windows, no doors—just smooth, polished stone that seemed to absorb the light from their torches. Only one straight passageway led them forward into the unknown. Jaxen scanned the area, his senses heightened. The air was still. Too still. "Jaxen," Anthony said, his voice low as he walked a few steps ahead. "You used to be a scout type, right?" "
Chapter 48 : The raid begins!
Jaxen woke up to the faint glow of morning light filtering through his apartment curtains. He lay still for a moment, staring at the ceiling, letting the events of the past few days settle in his mind. The trial. Astra's fall. Miguel on the run. Focus on today, he told himself. The raid. That's what matters. He swung his legs out of bed and made his way to the small kitchen. He brewed a pot of coffee, the rich aroma filling the apartment. He found some muffins in the cupboard—store-bought, nothing fancy—and ate them quickly while standing at the counter. After finishing breakfast, he took a quick shower. The hot water helped wake him up, washing away the last traces of sleep. He dried off and dressed in a simple black t-shirt and dark pants, his training clothes underneath his gear. He walked to the living room where his new equipment was still spread across the couch. The short swords gleamed under the dim light. The black leather vest sat beside them, along with the gloves, boo
Chapter 47 : A New threat is on the run.
The morning after the trial felt different. Lighter. Jaxen woke up in his apartment and stared at the ceiling, letting the events of the past few days sink in. Astra was gone. His sister was safe. He had a job, a guild, and a future. But Miguel's threat still echoed in his mind. This isn't over. Jaxen pushed the thought aside and got out of bed. Today was about preparation. Tomorrow was the raid. --- He arrived at Liberty Guild headquarters an hour later. The building was already busy—staff members rushing through the halls, hunters in training gear stretching in the lobby, the receptionist fielding calls. The guild was alive. Growing. Jaxen made his way to the medical facility on the third floor. The room was quiet, the machines beeping softly. His sister lay in the bed, her face peaceful, her breathing steady. A nurse was adjusting the monitors. She looked up as Jaxen entered. "Mr. Vane. Good morning." "How is she?" Jaxen asked, stepping closer. "She's doing rema
Chapter 46 : The trial begins!
The morning of the trial arrived cold and gray. Jaxen stood by his apartment window, watching the city wake up beneath a blanket of clouds. His new suit hung neatly on the back of his door. His hands were steady, but his mind was racing. Testify. Don't testify. Protect her. Risk her. The decision had been eating at him for days. Astra had threatened his sister. They had made it clear—if he spoke against them, she would pay the price. But if he stayed silent, they would keep doing what they did. Experimenting on monsters. Using human lives as bait. Killing innocent people without consequence. His phone buzzed. Bill. Jaxen answered. "Jaxen." Bill's voice was calm, businesslike. "I'm sending a car to pick you up in an hour. We need to talk before the trial." "I haven't decided yet," Jaxen admitted. "I know. That's why we need to talk. Trust me, kid. I'll make this right." Jaxen ended the call and stared at his reflection in the window. Trust me. Those were dangerous words. He'd
