Chapter 22: I’m going to be rich!
The eerie silence that stretched across the corridor was shattered by the rhythmic echoes of their boots slapping against the moist stone floor. Gareth walked ahead, his hand never leaving the hilt of his broadsword. His body was stiff with purpose, his back impossibly straight. Though he said nothing, his posture screamed readiness. The team followed in an inverted triangle formation: mages conjuring balls of flame to light their path from the middle, warriors guarding the flanks, and assassins trailing silently behind.Leo lagged just a step from the rear, eyes not on the path ahead, but locked onto the glowing blue interface hovering before him.[SYSTEM UPDATE]Item: Abyss Wyrm Core (Mutated Variant)Options:Sell to Market (Value: 320 Crystals)Sell to System (Value: 400 Crystals)SynthesizeExtract Essence[Achievement Unlocked: Wyrm Slayer]Reward:+2 Stat Points1 Random Passive Skill1 Advanced Equipment Box+10 Hunter Reputation"Hunter reputation?

Chapter 21: Threat
Just as Leo was mumbling to himself and scrolling through the synthesis options the system had presented after claiming the Abyss Wyrm Core, the hum of the system’s blue interface illuminating his face, a heavy shadow loomed over him.One of the mages from the team—a tall, broad-shouldered man with a severe face and trimmed obsidian beard—approached him with a glint of suspicion in his pale gray eyes. His aura was sharp, cut from years of magical discipline, yet his energy wavered slightly—either from fear or barely masked insecurity. His name was Darius, a C-Class Fire Mage, and while he’d said little during the earlier chaos, his pride was loud enough to fill the chamber now.“Hey,” Darius said, standing before Leo with a puffed chest and crossed arms. “You disappeared back there. Without a spell. Without a portal. What sort of sorcery are you using? You know sorcery is banned within the Rift.”Leo didn’t even look up at first. His finger swiped lazily across the interface.“I’m not
Chapter 20: Chaos.
Screams and cries echoed across the cavern walls as the monstrous Abyss Wyrm rampaged, its mutated body thrashing like a beast possessed. Hunters scrambled for cover, magical shields shimmered then cracked under the force of its tail, and blood splattered the once-silent stone floor.Yet amid the mayhem, Leonis Ardent stood completely still.Invisible.Thanks to his newly updated Stealth Skill, Leo remained unseen, crouched within the shadows far above on a rocky outcrop. His eyes, glowing faintly with system interface data, observed the scene below with a calculating gaze.“Idiots,” he muttered to himself. “Let them do the hard work. I’ll just swoop in, finish the kill, and grab the prize.” He thought with a sinister smile adorning his lips.He grinned as his gaze locked onto the Abyss Wyrm’s neck, where the mutation had twisted the scales, exposing the faint shimmer of the rare core. A core that pulsed with corrupted energy—dark, unstable, but priceless.[SYSTEM WARNING: 3:00 Minutes
Chapter 19: The Wyrm Awakens
The battle had ended—or so everyone thought.Gareth Ryne, the team’s raid leader and the only S-Class among them, stood before the fallen corpse of the Shadow Wyrm, its massive body coiled in a grotesque death spiral. The stench of venom and scorched flesh lingered in the air, heavy and sickly. Blood pooled around its partially severed neck, a faint purple hue gleaming under the flickering enchantment torches.Gareth unsheathed his blade again—a titan-forged cleaver enchanted with obsidian runes. With a calm expression masking a burning frustration, he crouched beside the beast and whispered to himself, “How did that punk know the core’s location? What skill does that nobody have…?” He turned slightly and examined Leo who was having a chat with Sammy.He wasn’t used to being outshined, especially not by someone like Leonis Ardent—an F-Class rookie who’d come out of nowhere, spewing intel like a seasoned tactician.He gritted his teeth and drove his blade into the chest of the Shadow Wy
Chapter 18: The Wyrm in the Shadows
The screeches were ear-splitting, a grating mixture of hollow cries and guttural rasps that echoed through the jagged cavern walls of the Rift. Each sound vibrated with unnatural resonance, sliding like ice down the spine of every hunter present. The air itself seemed to thicken with dread.Everyone froze.Except Leo.His dark eyes narrowed with focus. He clenched the straps of the tactical backpack they had given him upon deployment, a bag that held basic supplies: water flasks, energy boosters, a few minor potions, and a change of clothes. Compared to the enchanted blades, mana rifles, and arcane amulets of the others, it felt insultingly mundane. But Leo wasn’t counting on the gear. He had something far more unpredictable.His mind.The hunters circled into a formation as Sammy, the Level 9 V-Class assassin, silently raised his gloved hand in the air. The motion was subtle, but the message was loud: Hold. No sudden movements.The hunters obeyed. Even the cockier ones. Silence took o
INTO THE RIFT
The morning air hung heavy over Cinder Valley, thick with fog and the iron-scent of distant magic. The sun had barely crept over the jagged horizon, casting long shadows across the group of armed hunters that stood like sentinels on the rocky edge. Clad in a chaotic medley of armor, robes, and reinforced suits, they ranged in power from battle-hardened D-class to the almost mythical S-class. And amidst them, like a drop of ink in a vat of steel, stood Leo—the sole F-class hunter.Leo swallowed, adjusting the strap of his light pack and wondering, not for the first time, how the hell he’d been roped into this suicide mission. His hood shadowed his face, and his fingers flexed around the dagger at his side—a pitiful weapon compared to the arsenal carried by those around him.A man stepped forward from the group. Tall and broad-shouldered with a cruel scar coiling from wrist to bicep, the leader’s presence silenced murmurs before he even spoke. His voice, when it came, rolled like thunder
