章節 2: Evan

"Damm! How could I oversleep on the first day of my job? I worked so hard to get this job, and I really don't want to arrive late on my first day," Ray, a young man, said while running as if his life depended on it.

But he had to stop when he reached the main road because of the red light.

"This cursed light is always green when I have free time, but now that I'm in a hurry, why is it red?" Ray shouted, nearly throwing a stone to break the traffic light signal.

Ray stood there, glancing at his cheap wristwatch from time to time. After one minute, the signal finally turned green, and Ray dashed forward without waiting for even a second.

Horn-!

But just as he dashed forward, he heard a loud car horn. While still running, he glanced in the direction of the horn and saw a black car coming towards him at high speed.

Ray's mind went blank seeing the speeding car, and even before he could think of anything else, he felt his vision turning upside down.

For a moment, he didn't understand what had just happened. He tried to move his hands but found that he couldn't feel them.

Soon, he felt a warm liquid flowing down from his head, and his vision started to turn red.

He tried to move his body to understand what was happening, but he found that he couldn't even feel his body.

Warm liquid continued to drip from his face onto the ground, and a metallic smell assaulted his nostrils. He started losing consciousness, and his surroundings began to blur.

As his vision started to blur, Ray finally understood what had happened.

'Seriously, am I going to die like this?' Ray thought bitterly, 'I know I should have just stayed home and played video games instead of looking for a job. I didn't even get a chance to try the newly launched 'Lily's Secret' game.'

Soon, Ray lost consciousness, and his vision turned completely black.

"Hmm," Ray opened his eyes and saw a familiar, yet unfamiliar, ceiling of the room.

Ray looked around and saw that he was lying on a bed in a small room.

"Is this the hospital?" Ray thought while trying to sit up. Surprisingly, when he tried to sit up, he didn't feel any discomfort that he expected to feel because of his earlier accident.

He raised an eyebrow, feeling strange about his situation. He looked around the room and saw that it was a small room with nothing but a bed and some daily necessities.

'This is not a hospital,' Ray instantly realized after inspecting the room. For some reason, while looking around the room, he found it quite familiar, even though he was sure that he had never seen this room before.

He tried to stand up and was able to do so without any problem. There was no discomfort even when he stood up.

"How can my body be completely fine after that accident?" Ray said out loud in a shocked voice, looking at the condition of his body. There wasn't even a scratch on his body, and his skin looked even better than before.

He looked around the room and, after spotting a mirror in the corner, he immediately walked towards it.

When he stood before the mirror and saw his reflection, his eyes widened.

"Who the f**k is this dude?" Ray mumbled while looking at his reflection.

Suddenly, he felt a splitting headache, and he dropped to the ground, clutching his head tightly.

"Arghh!" Some foreign memories started to flood his mind, and the headache intensified, causing him to cry out in pain.

Strange memories continued to appear for around five minutes. The pain was so severe that Ray almost lost consciousness once again.

After five minutes, the memories finally stopped flooding in, and the headache began to subside.

"Evan," Ray muttered while lying on the floor. His entire body was drenched in sweat, and his heart was beating like a drum.

After around ten minutes, when his headache had completely disappeared, he finally stood up.

"I can't believe it. Even though I was hit by car-chan instead of truck-kun, I still got a transmigration ticket," Ray muttered while looking at himself in the mirror.

The world he had transmigrated into was called the 'Arora World,' where people could use magic and skills with the help of mana.

"Can I also use magic?" Ray wondered, feeling excited. As an Otaku who had read dozens of novels, he accepted his situation very easily.

He checked the memories he had just received to find out if he could use skills or not. However, as he sorted through all the memories, his face turned grim.

In the Arora World, many people awakened special powers. Most people awakened their powers before turning sixteen years old. Evan had awakened his power when he was fourteen years old and joined the Hunter's Academy to train himself and learn more about superpowers.

Being an orphan, he was relieved when he awakened his power because not only did he awaken his powers, but he also awakened a physique called the Shadow Physique.

He possessed a skill called 'Shadow Walk' that allowed him to turn himself into a shadow. While using Shadow Walk, as long as he provided enough mana, he could even pass through barriers without being hindered by them.

After joining the academy, he learned how to improve his power. To do so, he had to use the cores of monsters.

Cores could be obtained by killing monsters in dungeons or in the wilderness. Cores were very rare, and only a few monsters dropped a core after being slain.

If you killed a fire-type monster, you could obtain a fire-type core from it. Similarly, killing a water-type monster would yield a water-type core. It didn't matter which type of core you obtained because you could improve your power by absorbing any type of core.

Usually, you could only absorb around 30% of the energy from a core, with the remaining energy dissipating into the surrounding environment. However, if you had a fire-type skill and absorbed a fire-type core, you could absorb around 50% of its energy.

But when Evan attempted to absorb a core for the first time after joining the academy, he found that he couldn't. His body inexplicably rejected all the energy he tried to absorb from the core.

At first, Evan thought that maybe the core he had absorbed was damaged, which was why he couldn't absorb it. However, the same thing happened when he tried to absorb a different core.

Evan was confused as to why he couldn't absorb the cores. He even asked the academy's teachers, but they too were perplexed by his situation, as they had never encountered something like this before.

For some time, Evan couldn't find the reason behind his inability to absorb the cores. But one day, he thought about his unique physique, the Shadow Physique.

Using his saved-up money, Evan bought a shadow-type core. To his surprise, when he absorbed it, he was able to absorb it effortlessly.

After this discovery, Evan decided to hunt shadow-type monsters to obtain their cores and improve his power. However, the lowest-ranked dungeon where he could find shadow-type monsters was at the D rank. As an F rank hunter, it was almost impossible for him to hunt them normally.

Even if he wanted to buy shadow-type cores, he couldn't easily afford them due to a lack of money.

"My new life already ended even before it started," Ray muttered, feeling that he had received a defective body because he came here through car-chan instead of truck-kun.

章節 3: Invisibility Potion

Evan came out of his room and started walking towards the exit of the boys' dormitory of the academy.

It had been two years since Ray transmigrated into the Arora world. During these two years, he had completely replaced Evan and assumed his position in the academy.

Nobody suspected a thing because Evan had no friends there. Everyone in the academy looked down on him because, even after all this time, he was still an F Rank hunter and had been unable to increase his rank.

Ray, on the other hand, wasn't bothered by this. In fact, he was relieved that Evan had no friends since he didn't have to pretend when interacting with others.

During his time in the academy, Ray had attempted to increase his rank by purchasing shadow cores with the money he earned. However, only D rank or higher level shadow cores were available in the market, and a single D rank core cost around thirty thousand credits. To raise his rank from F to F+, Ray needed to absorb around five or six D rank cores.

Despite his efforts, Ray had only managed to buy two cores with the money he had saved over the past two years.

Now, he had saved up enough money to purchase one more core, but this time he had a different plan in mind.

In the past two years, he had also devoted time to learning swordsmanship. Although his talent with swords could be considered subpar, he had managed to master basic swordsmanship during that period.

Evan walked out of the academy and headed towards the nearby taxi station. When other students saw him, they either ignored him or looked at him with ridicule. Evan, however, didn't care about how they were looking at him since their opinion held no weight for him.

Currently, he was living in the academy as all students who joined were allowed to stay there for free.

However, the duration of their stay was limited to four years, and this was Evan's final year.

Upon reaching the taxi station, he hailed a taxi and asked the driver to take him to the city plaza.

As Evan sat in the taxi, he closed his eyes and contemplated his plans for the day. His objective was to purchase an 'Invisibility Potion' from the city plaza.

It was a Rank Two potion that could render its user invisible for three hours. After consuming this potion, no one below C rank would be able to detect him. Evan intended to enter a D rank dungeon called 'Shadow Kingdom' alone using that potion.

Over the past two years, he had taken on numerous jobs and hunted monsters in other low-level dungeons to save up money. However, the value of F and F+ rank cores was very low, and their drop rate was also not high. Consequently, despite his efforts, he hadn't been able to acquire enough cores to rank up even once.

Now, as it was his final year in the academy and he wouldn't be able to stay there any longer, Evan decided to try a different approach.

He planned to use the invisibility potion to hunt some D rank shadow monsters, although he was aware of the risks involved. Nevertheless, he believed it was the best way for him to increase his rank at this point.

After a fifteen-minute drive, the taxi driver stopped in front of a large building. Evan paid the fare and glanced at the building before making his way towards it. Upon entering, he took the elevator and arrived at the seventh floor, which housed a variety of herbs and potions.

Exiting the elevator, Evan approached the receptionist counter where a young man was standing.

Yup! A young man instead of a charming big sister.

Seeing the young man Evan gave the service of the city plaza a poor rating in his heart.

"Good day, sir. How may I assist you?" the young man greeted Evan with a professional smile on his face.

"Do you have any invisibility potions?" Evan inquired, stopping in front of the reception.

"Allow me a moment to check our stock," the receptionist replied, looking at his computer screen.

After approximately ten seconds, he nodded and said, "Currently, we have rank one and rank two invisibility potions available."

Evan nodded and asked for the rank two invisibility potion. The rank one potion only provided one hour of invisibility and it couldn't hide the user presence from D rank monsters.

Upon hearing Evan's request, the receptionist made a call, and soon a man brought a small box to the counter.

Seeing it was another male Evan couldn't help but think that the owner of the establishment had something against females which is why all the staff members are male.

After handing the box to the receptionist, the male staff member left.

The receptionist opened the box and retrieved a bottle filled with dark blue liquid.

After taking out the bottle, he handed it to Evan who touched the bottle, and its details appeared before him.

---) Invisibility Potion (Rank 2): After consuming this potion, the user becomes invisible for three hours, and no one below rank C can detect them.

Satisfied with the details, Evan nodded his head and asked its price.

"This potion is our bestseller, and many people want to bu_,"

"Just tell me the price. I don't care if it's your bestseller or worstseller," Evan said, cutting off the receptionist's sales pitch, since he had no interest in listening to his professional bulls*it.

"It is priced at forty thousand credits," the receptionist answered with a professional smile he was not offended even though Evan interrupted his passionate speech.

Evan cursed these people inside his mind for being robbers, but still purchased the potion.

"Thank you for your purchase, sir," the receptionist said after Evan paid the money.

While crying inwardly because of his now empty bank account, Evan left the city plaza. His next destination is D rank shadow kingdom dungeon.
