Loading... please wait.

I woke up the next day before anyone else, so I stayed in bed and just lazed around on my phone. After around an hour of doing nothing productive, Claire sleepily raises her torso while rubbing her eyes.

"*grumble*."

"What?"

"Good *yawn* morning"

"Oh, yeah. Good morning."

"What 'cha doing?"

"Nothing."

She stared blankly at me, ruffled her hair, and got up with another yawn.

After another half hour, Biro and Julia wake up and leave the room. I continue to scroll on my phone for fifteen minutes before Claire pops her head into the room.

¨Are you going to get up?¨

¨Uh uh¨

¨Well, do it soon. I made breakfast.¨

I get up with a grown and head towards the dining room. When I entered, I saw Julia and claire eating breakfast while Biro was chewing on some meat under the table. I sat down before my plate and started eating.

After breakfast, Claire asks.

¨So, what's the plan? Do we get started on the situation with Ren?¨

I groaned.

¨Urgh, Yeah, I guess.¨

¨Why are you so reluctant? It was your idea.¨

¨I know, I know, it's just sooooo boring.¨

¨Well then. Do you have another idea?¨

I slump onto the table.

¨No, I'll do it. It's the best way. Urgh.¨

Claire gets up.

¨Great! Then let's get started. What do we do first?¨

I take out my phone.

¨First, let's look online for the law concerning skills.¨

We all began our search.

After around an hour of scrolling through the government page, Julia exclaimed.

¨I think I found something.¨

She sent us a link.

[New hunter law: article 74]

All possessors of a skill that fits in this list are obligated to report to the local hunter association or government building.

Failure to do so will result in varying punishments, up to 10 years in prison, depending on the skill.

-Crowd control
-Mind control
-Poison
-Race-change
.....

Denunciation of non-declared skills present in this list will be rewarded depending on the skill.
[]

I blankly stare at the page.

Claire speaks up.

¨Then, all we have to do is tell the police, and they will arrest him and reward us?¨

I nodded.

¨Seems that way.¨

Julia asked.

¨Isnt this... Too easy?¨

¨Yeah, I know. It's crazy what can happen when you actually take the time to learn the law of your country.¨

¨So that's it? We just go to the police, and they'll throw him in jail?¨

¨Well, maybe not in jail since he has his brother backing him, but he will surely have his skill restricted or something.¨

We all just sit there in silence for a few seconds when claire stands up and says.

¨Well, let's go then. What are we waiting for?¨

We quickly get up and make our way towards the nearest police station, which is more than an hour away. When we get there, we quickly make a complaint and explain the situation to the officers. After we finished, they told us.

¨Well, thank you for your time. We'll contact the higher-ups, and we will launch an investigation. We will contact you with the result, or you can just look at the news. With something like that, the media will jump on it. Anyway, thank you for your time, and try not to yell around that you've reported him. We have witness protection, but we can't do anything if the witness doesn't protect itself.¨

And just like that, we were off.

¨Sooo, that's done.¨

¨Yeah.¨

Julia asks.

¨What do we do now?¨

¨Well, I guess we just need to wait. Oh! I know! Let's level up and prepare for that dungeon in time square.¨

Claire responded.

¨Err, I don't know if I want to be part of that.¨

¨No problem. We only have one week anyway, so there would be no way for you to level up enough.¨

¨Yeah, exactly.¨

¨But you'll still hunt with me and Julia.¨

Julia intervened.

¨Eeeeh! Me too?!¨

I glanced at her.

¨I thought you wanted to get stronger?¨

¨Um, yeah, but, I mean... My father banned me from hunting until I reach level 30 in swordsmanship. I'm only level 20.¨

¨Uuuurg. Who the hell cares! Fuck your father, if I say we're gonna go hunting, then we're gonna go hunting. Your father is no longer the one in charge, I am, but unlike him, I'll actually do my job and protect you.¨

She blushed and nodded with a slight smile.

Meanwhile, Claire got closer and grabbed my arms while pressing her chest on me.

¨I don't really want to go hunting, you know? Couldn't you exclude me?¨

I turn to look at her, and with a big smile on my face, I respond.

¨No.¨

Claire's smile falters for a second before she continues.

¨Come onnnn. I'll give you a blowjob.¨

I laugh.

¨I'm serious. If you let me stay back, I'll give you a blowjob tonight.¨

I responded while still chuckling.

¨Come on, you can't be serious. We both know you want that blowjob more than I do. Stop trying to escape and accept your fate.¨

She started sulking.

¨No blowjob for you then *pout*.¨

I laugh again.

We made our way back and were greeted by Biro, and a small pile of monster remains.

¨Hey Biro, what happened here?¨

¨Woof!¨

¨Seriously? but we got an anti-monster ward.¨

Claire asked.

¨You can understand him?¨

¨Yeah, somewhat.¨

¨Uh, neat. Does the telepathic skill of the pack work with wolfs?¨

I stared blankly at her.

¨Um, yeah, I don't know. I actually forgot to add him.¨

¨Add Biro¨

^Name ¨Biro¨ not recognized^

¨Huh?¨

¨What?¨

¨ It says that it doesn't recognize the name of biro.¨

¨Why?¨

¨I don't know. I'll try something else.¨

¨Add pack member.¨

^List of possible members:

-Amaruq
^ ^

¨Amaruq?¨

I looked at Biro.

¨Is that your name?¨

He looked back at me, and with his tail furiously wagging, he barked.

¨Ok, then I guess we'll have to stop calling you Biro then. Add Amaruq.¨

^Invitation sent^
^Pending....^

Amaruq barked.

^Accepted.^

^Member Amaruq has been awarded the title: First warrior.^

¨Oh, he got a title, first warrior.¨

¨What does it do?¨

¨Let me check.¨

I use my status viewing ability to check it.

^Title: first warrior.^

Description: The first male of the pack other than possibly the leader

Effect 1: Increase fertility

Effect 2: Increase libido

Effect 3: +1 strength per level up

Effect 4: Receive an alert if the pack leader is attacked.

Effect 5: Once a month, the warrior can teleport to the pack leader's side
^ ^

¨It's a title given to the first male of the pack. It gives him +1 strength per level up and lets him know when I'm in danger.¨

¨Ooh.¨

I also took the time to see the rest of Amaruq's status. He was quite stronger than me, which didn't surprise me. I knew from the first meeting that he was, but since he was over level fifty, that meant he couldn't follow me in the dungeon. That means I would need to go alone this time. What a shame.

Next, I tried to use the mind link.

[Can you hear me]

[Yes!]

It seems it works!

[Nice, it'll be easier to communicate like this.]

[Surely, can the other join in with us?]

[Err, not right now. This skill uses a lot of MP even for just us both so we should not abuse it.]

[Ooh...]

Amaruq's head and tails drooped.

[B...but that doesn't mean we'll never use it! Anyway, we're going hunting, do you wanna come with us?]

[No, I'll stay here and protect the cave in case of other monster invasions. Also, at my level it would be detrimental to your growth.]

[...]

[What.]

[You talk more human-like than I would've thought.]

[Well, that's because I was raised by humans and that I have a high level.]

[Sure, anyway, I'm nearly out of mana so let's cut our discussion short.]

I ended the mind link and said.

¨So the mind links work. Anyway, since we're done with that, let's go hunting!¨

¨Eun!¨

¨Eeeeeeeeh....¨

Julia nodded, and Claire let out a groan.

......

4 days later.

We were all currently in the middle of the forest. I had leveled up 3 times and was now level 27. Meanwhile, Julia was level 14, and Claire was 12. I could have leveled more, but since I was with level 1, I had to start with weak monsters.

Tomorrow was the day of the dungeon, so we were currently making our way back after a day of hunting. As we were approaching the cave, our phones got connected to the internet and started vibrating all at the same time.

We all got it out at the same time and looked at the notification.

[Breaking news! Brother of the phoenix guild guild-master being accused of mind control!]

Ren Phoenix has been accused of possessing a non-declared mind control skill and making use of it. An investigation is still in progress, but current evidence has been enough to let the police post an arrest warrant.
......

Ren Phoenix seems to have fled as nobody seems to be able to find him. If you come across this individual, please stay hidden and call this number.......
[]

¨It worked!¨

Julia exclaimed.

¨Do not rejoice so soon.¨

I responded.

¨He's currently on the loose, and considering his obsession with you, it wouldn't surprise me that he come after you.¨

¨Eek, then what do I do?!¨

¨For now, you'll stay in the cave with Amaruq. He's currently stronger than me so stay at his side. As for me, I'll go to the dungeon and find a better solution after it, if this isn't over at this point. And Claire, you can do whatever you want.¨

¨I think I'll go back to my parent's house.¨

¨Perfect, so tomorrow I'll drop you there. Any question?¨

They both shook their head.

¨Good, good. Wanna watch a movie tonight?¨

¨Sure!¨

¨I wanna watch the new Fivar movie!¨

¨Ok then.¨

We spend the rest of the night cuddling while watching movies. At one point, I wanted to go do other things, but for some reason, they both silently agreed to watch 3 movies while forcing me to stay.
