Lukas opened his eyes and found himself in a room. The room was spacious, the walls were painted white, the bed was soft and the sheets smelled nice. 

Lukas looked around the room and fixed his gaze on the door. There were voices behind the door. It sounded like a woman and a man were discussing something. 

Lukas removed his gaze from the door and looked outside. As he was admiring the view from the window the door pushed open and a person entered.

The person who entered the room was a young woman who looked to be in her mid twenties. She wasn't tall, probably 5'2 with brown hair and green eyes. She was dressed in a gray camisole and gray slippers. 

She wasn't beautiful but her face was very pleasant to look at. She walked towards where Lukas lay before sitting on a chair opposite him. She and Lukas looked at each other for over a minute before he coughed and looked away.

"How is your arm?" She asked. Her voice was very soothing to the ears. Lukas found himself lost in her voice before she coughed and repeated her question again.

"My arm?" Lukas then glanced at his left arm and to his shock his left arm was perfectly alright. Lukas was dumbfounded. He clearly remembered his left arm being ripped out by the four eyed monster wolf. But now his left arm was perfectly alright as if his arm being ripped out was nothing but a lie. His blistered legs were also healed. His skin that were filled with bruises were also healed. He was even wearing a new set of clothes; his previous torn clothes replaced.

"Well? How is it?" She asked again. Her voice jolted him out of his reverie.

"It's fine miss."

She heaved a sigh of relief at his response. Another minute of silence passed between them. She brought out a notebook and a pen before she broke the silence again.

"What's your name?"

"Lukas" 

"Last name?"

"I don't know."

"How did you get inside the forest?"

"I don't know"

"How old are you?"

"I don't know"

She brought her head up from the book and sighed. This was tough for her. The boy before her didn't know anything apart from his name. She was part of the police and it was her job to take care of any peculiar incidents she came across. But if she couldn't gleam any useful information from the boy then she wouldn't have anything to report to her superior. She sighed again before standing up. She went to over to where Lukas lay and brought him out of the bed. 

"Come. Let's take a walk." 

Lukas then followed the woman. Together they walked in silence. From his room, they took the stairs and arrived at the rooftop. When they got to the rooftop, She looked at Lukas before saying

"I'm supposed to ask you about everything, who you are, where you are from, how you got inside the forest. But as it stands now you don't know anything about yourself. "

Lukas looked down at the people walking and going about their business. He then turned to the woman and asked

"What's going to happen to me now?"

"There are two things that could happen to you. After this week you will be forced to leave the hospital and will have to fend for yourself. Or I could send you to the Military academy; but if you join the military you will have to enlist or leave the Military in the next 3 years."

"Military?" 

"Yes."

It then occurred to Lukas that he knew nothing about this world. He didn't know how he got here or anything about how this world worked. It was too soon for him to make a decision. 

"I know it's too soon for you to make a decision so I'll leave now. You should think about it but remember you have a week. Once the week is over you should have made a decision then or I won't be able to help you anymore."

She then turned and left, leaving Lukas alone on the rooftop to come to a decision.

***

A week passed in the blink of an eye. Lukas had contemplated about which choice to make during the week. He was sitting on a chair in the corner of the room when the door opened. A young woman with brown hair and green eyes entered the room. She was wearing a brown shirt and gray jeans with boots to match. She walked towards where Lukas sat, brought another chair and sat down. 

"So? What's your decision?" She asked, getting straight to the point.

Lukas looked at her before opening his mouth.

"There's something i want to ask before I make my decision."

"Ask away."

"If I go to the military academy, after 3 years I'll be free to leave?"

"Yes, after 3 years you'll be asked to either join the military or leave to fend for yourself."

Lukas closed his eyes, opened them again before looking at the woman. 

"I'll be joining the military academy"

There were a plethora of reasons why Lukas decided to join the military. For one he didn't know anybody here. Everything in this world was unfamiliar to him. He wasn't sure how long he could survive on his own if he chose not to join the military. He was sure that he couldn't be older than 10 years of age. There was little such a young boy could achieve on his own. He needed a shelter, a place he could stay until he got a clear grasp on where he was and how he was going to live in this world. He decided that he was going to join the military academy until he was able to fend for himself.

"That's great. It's chaotic outside and I'll only be relieved that you are in a secure place. There's no place better than the military now. Get up then, we're leaving now"

She stood up, then paused before looking at Lukas. "My name is Tasha." She said before making her way out of the room.

Lukas then stood up, looked around the room one last time before making his way out of the room. 

He was joining the military.

  • Chief Keef's Strength

    Ciel was still shocked at the identity of the masked hunter. Although she had some suspicions, there were merely suspicions. What were the odds of the masked hunter that was her teammate being Lukas himself?From what she could tell, she could see that Lukas was very experienced as a hunter, even more experienced than her. She easily deduced that Lukas had thoughts along the same line as her after the traumatic experience at the Zivel forests, and decided to increase his strength by becoming a hunter.However, she did not account for the speed at which he grew. By some coincidence, they even managed to join the same guild, and were assigned to the same team, which was the only reason she was able to deduce his identity. With tumultous emotions raging wildly in her heart, she joined the village guards and started to help evacuate the helpless villagers while fighting against the saber toothed tigers, taking a passive stance in the heated battle.Lukas who had no idea that his identity

  • Saber-toothed Tigers

    A surprised expression immediately appeared on Chief Keef's face, and the powerful aura that he had kept hidden suddenly skyrocketed. Without even sparing the three guests in his small hut a glance, he exited the hut in a haste. Amanda glanced at Lukas and Ciel briefly before exiting the small hut, leaving both Lukas and Ciel no other choice than to do so. When Lukas and Ciel appeared outside the small hut, the scene before them was one that they did not expect at all. Several huge monsters could be seen charging at the weak villagers. These monsters were incredibly huge, easily towering the villagers at more than 3 meters tall. They bore an uncanny resemblance to the tigers on earth, with few differences. The teeth of these monsters were incredibly sharp, cutting through the weak defenses of the villagers like tofu, and the four front canines were shaped like sabers, hence their name saber toothed tigers. At a single glance they could see more than fifty saber toothed tigers; an

  • Gien Village (II)

    “What do you think you’re doing in my village?”Amanda swung her wand when she heard the voice, pausing the terrified villager’s fall. The villager had his heart in his mouth at that moment, as his face inches away from the ground. If the voice hadn’t interrupted Amanda from her actions, he had no doubt that he would have been face planted on the hard ground and turned into mashed paste.Lukas and Ciel were both shocked and curious that someone was capable of making Amanda cease her actions. They had no doubt in their minds that the villager was a goner when he mocked Amanda’s outfit. They were instead worried about how they would explain the injury of the villager to the Hunter Association when they submitted their quest report for clearing.Amanda slowly turned around to face the owner of the voice. There was shock in her eyes as she gazed at the chief. She was a silver ranked hunter and a Great Mage, which spoke volumes for her physical strength, but she was unable to sense the chi

  • Gien Village (I)

    The journey to Gien village was a smooth one, albeit a long one. It took seven hours for them to get to their destination, one hour longer than the usual time needed. Throughout the duration of the journey, both Lukas and Ciel maintained complete silence. Lukas instead spent the whole time looking outside the window of the van. He found himself missing Eipi all of a sudden. At least, the journey would not have been this boring.When they arrived at Gien village, the van dropped the three of them off before driving off speedily.Lukas and Ciel looked around the village as soon as they alighted from the van. As the name suggested, Gien village was truly a village. At a single glance both Lukas and Ciel could tell that it was very underdeveloped.The van had dropped them at Gien village, but they still had to walk a short distance before they got to the gate to the village.As the trio walked towards the gate, they ran their eyes around their surroundings. Lukas in particular was very al

  • Summons

    The night passed quickly with Lukas following his daily routines which were his usual meditation and exercises.The next morning Lukas woke up early as usual. Amanda had informed them to arrive on time to the Guild building so that they could leave early and get to Gien village on time.Lukas dressed up in his usual hunting outfit, which were his stylish combat clothes, his jacket and most importantly his mask, before exiting the dorm.The dorm was still empty as usual, as the backlash from the attack had yet to die down. Lukas however wasn’t bothered about that. He would use this period to increase his personal strength. That had always been his goal.He took the cab as usual and got to the Guild building early. The meeting room was empty meaning that he was the first to arrive.Only a few minutes passed before the door to the room opened and a beautiful lady with blue hair stepped inside the room.It was of course Ciel. She was also dressed in her combat suit, which was blue in colo

  • Choosing a Quest (II)

    “Denied.” Amanda said authoritatively, twirling her wand as she spoke.Ciel let out a light groan when she heard Amanda’s response. This was the fourth quest she had suggested to Amanda but she had denied it just like the other three she submitted to Amanda.Lukas stood up and handed over a document to Amanda. He didn’t read it this time because Amanda told them not to read out loud anymore. Their voices were sickening and would give her endless nightmares according to her.“Denied.” Amanda said again, still twirling her wand as she spoke.Lukas didn’t groan like Ciel. Instead he just turned and went back to searching for a new quest. After having his quests rejected eight times, twice that of Ciel, he gave up on complaining about the rejection. The time he used to complain was better spent on searching for new quests. He had learned from numerous rejections that his complaints meant nothing to Amanda.And just like that, two hours of their time were spent searching for new quests. Af
