A few days laters…
News about the rise of a demon in the middle of the city spread around the world. The individual known as Matthew Dragunov had caused 17 reported kills and the destruction of 10 houses and 4 shops and damaged a total of 23 other buildings.
A bounty was officially put on said demon’s head for 5,000,000 Bytes. This made many bounty hunters and Hunters in general excited because of the prize. This bounty was equal to taking down a Giga class monster. Of course, it would also mean it would be just as dangerous. However, that would not stop them.
Aside from that, rumors about the return of an ex-Legendary rank Hunter including their members had also circulated quickly. The executives and the president especially were always questioned by other Hunters and reporters who were looking for a scoop.
Cecilia returned home shortly after the event, traumatized after what she experi
“Yo Metil, pass me the sauce will ya?” Jovanic held out his hand ready to accept a bottle of red liquid. Metil on the other end, handed the bottle to Jovanic over Hinata who was just quietly eating her bowl of rice with beef slices.“I want some too.” Jade held his plate out across the table for Jovanic to pour some sauce in it.“Oh, here!” Jovanic poured the sauce onto the plate which almost covered the entirety of the steak on it.“Wait, wait! Too much!” Jade pulled his plate away before Jovanic could pour anymore. Jovanic only laughed hysterically.“Jovanic Bonnivierre, don’t be wasteful or else you’ll do laundry for the entire month.” Marlin, who was still in an apron with a spatula in her hand, scolded Jovanic who was acting like a child.“No, wait! Fine, I’m sorry.” Jovanic apologised
Matthew and Susan finished their meals after everyone else had already left. They picked up the plates and put them in the sink to be washed. Susan and Matthew stood side by side at the sink, scrubbing and rinsing the dishes together.Matthew was quicker and more efficient in doing his chore than Susan. “You know, we used to always do chores back in our house.” Susan started speaking.“Excuse me, our house? When the hell did you live with me?” Matthew asked.Susan chuckled. “Haha, we were in an.. Academy, I guess. You, me, Megat and a bunch more other kids. Our batches were divided into houses and we were in the same house.” Susan paused to put a plate on the rack. “As any school goes, they tend to make students do chores here and there. You would always volunteer and Megat and I would get dragged with you.”“Oh, uhh sorry about that.”
Metil was chatting with Azazel out in the open outside of the house just by the sidewalk. Matthew closed the front door behind him and walked over to them. Both of them noticed Matthew approaching and stopped their conversation.“Sorry, did I interrupt something?” Matthew apologised seeing that they turned their attention to him.“No, it’s fine. We were just talking about some random things.” Azazel said.“I was waiting for you actually, boss was just keeping me company.” Metil said.“Well, I suppose I should take my leave now. You two have fun.” Azazel reached up to pat Metil’s shoulder and left Matthew and Metil alone.“You too boss.” Metil said before Azazel went inside the house. Then he turned back to Matthew.Matthew had to tilt his head back a bit to look at Metil’s face. Mat
Rose woke up in a room. It was already bright outside as the white sunlight shone through the open window. She felt a slight pain in her head, probably from being hit earlier. She remembered everything.Judging from the time of day, at least an entire day had passed. This room was unfamiliar. The walls were made from wood while the furniture was very simple. The window showed the scenery outside. The area was surrounded by trees and there was also a faint sound of water flowing, a river perhaps.Rose did not know where she was but she knew she must get out of there. She got out of bed and checked herself. It seemed that she was unharmed. She reached for the door and opened it.To her surprise, there was someone already standing behind the door. The man also seemed surprised as well.“Oh, so you’re up-”“[Wind Blast]!”“Uwaa
“You will fight with him.” Loki said while pointing his index finger at Rose.Rose was stunned. It would take a long time to know what Loki meant, however, Rose was confused by the way he said it.“What do you mean?”“You will support him in the front lines, possibly directly against the Scarlett King if needed.”“But how?! Even so, I don’t want to do that. We’ll both be killed!” Rose shouted at him.Loki maintained his calm demeanour and explained to Rose. “Everything that happened has a meaning. A reason. Fate had decided for the two of you to come to this world. Coincidentally, the Scaletts also arose during this time. It is no coincidence, it is fate.”Rose was not one to believe in such things as fate. It was ridiculous to believe that fate had anything to do with it.
In Cecilia’s mansion, Yuki was leaning against a wall beside a door that led to Cecilia’s room. Her parents were inside, trying to cheer Cecilia up who was currently traumatised.Voices of her parents constantly trying to persuade their daughter could be heard. Yuki’s heart felt heavy hearing them.The door opened and the parents came out of the room looking worried.“How is she?” Yuki asked the parents.“She’s fine, thankfully. I believe she just needs more time to calm down more. It was her friend that caused her fear after all.” Gustav gave his explanation.Yuki sighed in relief. “I can understand that. Even from way out here, I was also shaking. Cecilia who was right there with him must’ve been petrified. The amount of power displayed could reach even the ends of the world.”Gustav and Emil
(Sorry for not updating for a while. Been busy with exams.)Chaos erupted that night as flames covered the building. People had their phones out to record this event, incapable of helping. Brave men in fire proof suits were rushing to get the fire under control.A little boy was crying while shaking two bodies lying lifeless on the burning floor. The bodies were battered, bruised and covered in blood. Despite the fire surrounding him getting closer, the boy did not care.Two firemen entered the house. They saw the boy and the two bodies beside him. They rushed over to rescue the boy however the ceiling collapsed before they could.…..Matthew opened his eyes. His body was covered in sweat and he was breathing heavily.He covered his eyes and slowly regulated his breathing to calm down.…..“Hey, ea
A past that no one except for Matthew knows.Five years ago.The delicious aroma from the stew that was being boiled on top of a stove filled the house. A woman with black hair and golden eyes stirred the contents of the pots while humming a simple tune. Her name was Rin.“Hmm~ Hm~ Hmm~”A pair of feet stepped into the kitchen. Rin noticed the presence and turned around.“What is it Matt?” She asked the boy with blonde hair and bright blue eyes.“What’s for dinner tonight?”“Oh, just some stew. Since you’re here, why don’t you go set up the table? And call your dad to come down as well.”“Roger that!” Matthew replied and went to the cabinet and retrieved some bowls.Rin smiled and returned to her cooking. She scooped out
