Chapter 44

There were three methods to be a 'Hunter'

1. Awakened via forceful summoning. 

2. Use Skill Book to receive special powers.

3. Use Monster drop equipment. Though people who were doing this were called 'Fake Hunter'. 

Mikael gave the two Skill Book to Klein. Klein would decide what Skill would he like to consume. An ordinary person could easily adsorb his first Skill Book.

"Kuya I select this Spirit Contract. I feel like this Skill Book is calling me...  "

Mikael nodded and took the other Book. 

" If you feel anything uncomfortable or any aching, just tell me."

Mikael nervously said. He knew nothing about the Skill Book. Maybe Klein would suffer an inflicting pain. 

"Sigh, Mikael. Absorbing a Skill Book is one hundred percent safe. Have you forgotten? When you first level up, you received a notification telling that you received a Skill. Book absorption is just like that. "

The man from the future told another information. Kyle reassured that nothing dangerous would happen. 

Klein took the Spirit Contract. The Book vanished and its particles entered his body. 

*ding*

He felt like his consciousness was traveling. It was a like his drifting for months.

He saw inside his mind that a creature agreed to form a contract with him.  

Klein began to glow and a silhouette formed near him. A wolf with a size of a meter appeared beside him. It has ash fur and its eyes were yellow like the full moon.  

"Awoooo"

The Wolf howled.

"T-this is my Skill. K- Kuya I'm a Hunter now!!"

Klein jumped out of happiness. He's officially a Hunter. 

[Klein Tibano]

[Level 1]

[SKILL]

[SPIRIT CONTRACT]

[1. ASH SPIRIT WOLF

-A spirit that can turn to smoke. ]

This was Klein's status information.  He's happy that a good Spirit accepted him.

"If you're serious about this occupation, then follow me. We will level up. General Lekta said that there's a Portal in Laguna Lake. "

Mikael gestured him to get out. As a Hunter, he knew that his brother needs to kill monsters to get stronger. 

"Really? O- okay! I will go with you! "

"Oi Klein. I want to tell you that this is not a game, Hunter is a job of killing. Their hands are full of blood. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Kuya... "

"Excuse me. Can I go too?" 

Christian asked them. Since he decided to become a Hunter, he wanted to see what kind of occupation would he enter. He's excited to witness the real world of Hunters. The Dungeon. He wanted to follow them in the Dungeon to see what's inside. 

" I have a car. I can drive you there"

"Okay, you're in. "

Mikael nodded. 

Klein canceled his Spirit Summoning. He went inside the car with Mikael and Christian. 

They traveled and reach the lake.

They found a Portal floating above the water. It has a yellow fragmented color.

"Yellow Portal... Tch! Well, it's bad to be picky. And it's a good place for you to level."

"A- are you sure Kuya!? The Monsters inside the Yellow Portal are super strong! "

Klein couldn't believe that his brother treated this Portal as a playground. 

"Pfft- not a problem. Those flying ants that I exterminated in Cavite are from the Yellow Portal. Besides, I got nothing to be afraid of, or are you? Hehe, your knees are shivering "

They could guess the strength of a Portal base on their colors. At the present, there were only two kinds of Portal, the White and Yellow.

There were still six Portals that the world never see. 

"What about you Christian? Are you coming with us? "

"... Yes"

Christian was sweating. He already saw a monster in real life. However, he never entered a Portal before, this would be his first. He couldn't blame himself for being afraid. This was completely different compare to talking to a rational people.  Monsters would attack no matter how talented you are in speaking. He's nervous, his glib tongue would not work in this place.

They went inside the Portal and saw a large land of nothing but desert. 

"A desert type Dungeon. Don't be afraid, as long as I'm here, these monsters can never kill you. In fact, I can't detect any dangerous monsters. I will kill the Dungeon Boss first and I'll leave some weak monsters that you can use to level up. Stay here for now. "

"Y- yes Kuya!!"

"Ye- yes!"

Mikael summoned his Spear. Lightning formed around his body and he charged to the dessert. 

"Roar!!"

A group of Desert Hyenas attacked him, but he slashed them. Their blood rained to the dried sand.  

Mikael surveyed the surroundings and detected a large lifeform underground.

"The Boss is beneath. I need to wake him up, I'm sorry for disturbing your beauty sleep but you need to die!! "

He activated his Lightning Spear and smashed the whole dessert. A large explosion shook the whole place. Sands scattered and a huge crater appeared. 

"Lkkrraaggghh!!"

A Giant Centipede emerged, it has thousands of sharp legs. 

"Hm. I only need three moves to kill you. "

Mikael cast his Void Spear. Any physical defense would become void.

.....

....

...

..

.

"Wow!! So this is how my brother fight. It's amazing!  Damn, so cool! "

Klein was astounded. He witnessed how his brother slapped the Giant Centipede like a b*tch. 

Christian gulped. 

"....You're right. I know that being a Hunter is hard, but when I saw your brother killed the Boss like it's nothing, I thought I'm watching a movie. He just cut the monster in half..."

Christian the billionaire was now watching the Rank 1. He swallowed his saliva. Mikael awakened a fire inside him. He clenched his fist. He's starting to idolize the man. A teenager fought a Giant Centipede head-on and won. His mighty figure stood at the top. 

"I can't wait.... I want to be a Hunter."

Christian looked at the strongest Hunter. He couldn't control his gaze and his eyes follow him. 

After killing most of the monsters. Mikael returned to them with two Hyenas on his back. He threw it in front of Klein. 

"Let's start with these two. Kill them and level up. "

"O- okay. Ash Wolf come out!"

Ashes transformed and turn into a Wolf. The Wolf showed his fangs. He was ready to attack. 

"... Why do I feel like I'm watching Pokemon? Anyway, Use this weapon"

Mikael threw a sword. This was an Item that he got when he slaughtered the monsters in Manila. 

"Eh? I'm going to fight too!?"

"Of course. You need to fight. Don't depend on your wolf. You must use your strength and face them."

"Y- yes!"

He grasped the sword and waddled slowly. He was waiting at how the Hyenas would move.  

"Roar!!"

The Wolf attacked the first Hyena and bite its neck.

"Aahhh!!"

Klein helped him and slash its body. The other hyena tried to fight but the wolf transformed to smoke and block it. 

After 5 minutes, they won and killed their first and second monsters. 

"Pant, pant guh! "

Klein was breathing hard, he was tired. He almost died. Fighting two monsters were not easy for a newbie like him. His palm was sweating and his shoulders were shaking because of fatigue. 

"What? You were tired already? Tch tch, stand up. There are many waiting in line. You need to defeat around 200 before we stop. "

"Hahh I can do it!!"

He panted. 

Klein ready his sword. This was the path he chose, he would never back down. He needs to be strong.
