I wake up with the biggest hangover ever. 2 seconds later I'm good. Divine energy op af haha. Now, where is Wolfie? Where is my wolf pillow?!
Probably eating pie as usual. Time to get up I guess. The kitchen is empty. No soul in sight. Where are they all?
I do have some stuff I want to do today. I am a firm believer of the a banana is fine in the morning gang, but sadly there are none here. Not like I am purposely giving excuses to eat pie for breakfast again haha.
I make my way across town. Somehow there seems to be unrest. Guess I'll have to check it out later. For now, I am heading to the hunter's guild!
The previous 2 months of training did help tremendously with my ability to dodge feints. Like I am not expecting much, but I should be able to barely cope with a low rank 3 for a few seconds. That should be all the time I need to lend 1 solid reinforced punch.
I really doubt I could win the fight at all. But I guess I could make that guy take me seriously for once.
After that getting my hunter's license would be a piece of cake. I'm pretty sure I should qualify for a rank 2 hunter position. Not that it's called that way. It's just a basic hunter rank with no added benefit whatsoever.
But anyway. The technicalities are not that important. I just want the title.
I remember at some point in another life I used to enjoy titles very much. But then that was in a world where it would show above your character's head.
I would always go for super edgy stuff like world dominator but make my character a crafter or something.
Or on the contrary, give the most innocent name and title but go the hardcore PK way. It would show people messages such as you have been killed by Cuddly Lil Ducky.
Ah. Fun times.
But these were all games. I think at least? I mean if magic is real then systems exist for sure. I might encounter such things for real at some point.
Oftentimes I'm not sure what I personally experienced. I feel this might be a side effect of the champion summoning. Or maybe just a me problem?
The cultivator dude didn't seem muddle-headed at all. Well, to be fair he came off as too much of a dick for me to notice anything else about him.
I could go on an epic adventure to regain my memory, a nice trope right there. Go on for hundreds of chapters about trying to find a cure resorting to alchemy, have it fail. Then turn to a god's power. That would bring memories back of a childhood sweetheart or something. Then I would have to save her. I don't know I'm just bullshiting haha.
I could also use my (sealed) remembering ability too, but I kinda fear what would happen. I feel like there are memories better forgotten. Dark history is a thing for a reason.
But honestly, I don't care much.
Oh? I'm there already. The hunter's guild.
Guess I walked while on autopilot. Happens a lot.
The guild is surprisingly empty. Like really.
I get to the counter and ask the lady about retaking the exam.
I'd call her by her name, but I've forgotten it already.
At first, she doesn't want to let me. But I have learned from my mistakes!
I tell her that if she doesn't make it happen, I'll come back with the guild master's 2 old buddies as support.
And that gets her moving! Nice!
She comes back a few minutes later. I am perfectly ready!
"The guild master is sick and isn't at the guild today."
Wait this doesn't add up.
[Why did you go in the back then? You should have known it already if he wasn't there.]
"I'm sorry sir I really don't know anything."
Let me guess. He's hiding cause he doesn't want to let me have the license. Uh, what a grumpy dude.
Fine! You don't want to let me join! Imma start my own guild with blackjack and hookers!
And it will be the best!
Wait…why am I even jealous. I literally have a sect going. We might only have 3 members….4 if I count Wolfie.
But someday we will be a big corporation! We are just in the garage start-up phase right now!
Everything is going according to plan!
As I exit the building, I see hunters running around in a frenzy. It's even worst than before.
Suddenly I spot Zero.
[Hey what the hell is happening?!]
"My father is missing. That did put the whole town into emergency alert. No one knows the forest as he does. The only thing that would be able to delay him usually would be a beast king coming out. And a rank 4 beast outing is pretty much always followed by a beast tide."
Oh gosh! And I've been oblivious all this time?! Is even Wolfie helping with the search?
[What should I do to help?! We should go to the forest right now!]
"Actually it's not needed. We'll go with the biggest hunter group and a small elite one. Their chief is an old partner of my father. As for the other, I think you've already met Cayden. We'll scout carefully. Actually, I want you to do something for me. I want you to keep an eye on my mother. Make sure she stays in town. And safe. Can you do that for me?"
[Of course! Protecting the families of sect members is our duty!]
"Thanks. I owe you one!"
And he leaves running.
I feel like I could help a lot with the searching, but then again, I bet my friend wants to look for his father himself.
Plus he has lots of support. Hopefully, everything will be alright.
I guess no matter how scary his mom is at times, she is pretty weak, right?
I just hope she doesn't try and join the search.
But there is something weird going on.
After all, I've only seen 1 beast king myself and it was the black wolf. But chances of it attacking town are really low. Could it be the giant ant queen?
No point thinking about it. Maybe Wolfie will manage to pacify the situation before I even know it.
Aight time to head back.
Who needs a trashy hunter guild when you are a member of The Unnamed God Sect anyway. Throw your stones at this novel ! Need to regain top 10 male-lead!
