Outcast Hunter

The audience was left speechless. They held their breath as they watched the fight between Leo and Kratos. Victory from their faces had been washed away when Leo's sword did not pierce through the steel-like skin of Kratos, plus his thick skull.

Fear crept their whole body as they witnessed Leo getting pierced in his chest. There were mixed reactions from them. Some of them covered their child's eyes, some of them felt scared for him, but most of them was quite disappointed. Why? You know the answer, think for yourself.

After getting stabbed in the chest, Leo fell unconscious. The rest was all vague from what he could remember. He woke up in a room, a room only a noble could afford. So, the thought quickly struck him. He's inside a mansion.. Which mansion it was, was a question to him. A girl he know came in and noticed that he's awake. She rushed over to his side and said the words: "You're finally awake!"

The biggest event of the year had soon came to an end. Everyone's having a blast-- drinking beer and eating their fill. They were having so much fun. The whole Kingdom's in a disarray, but it's not because of some monsters causing a ruckus, they're just having fun and their happiness were causing a bit of a trouble.

There's a feast everywhere you go. Scavenger Hunt was not the biggest event for nothing.

The King and Queen of the Kingdom would soon make their speech and they would publicly allow their daughter to be a respectable Predator. One of her dream's to be part of the Kingdom of Warlock expedition. Selected candidates of Predators of about 20 members would go in a mission to fight and subdue monsters. And to collect materials, only the Kingdom of Warlock have.

They were doing it every six months and it was not a coincidence because, the leader of the Predators had it set up that after the Scavenger Hunt which was held every year.

Not all expeditions were successful. Some lost their lives and some of them made it back to Fallonia alive. A test will be held for the members of the Predators who wants to join the mission. The expedition was called 'Point of no Return'.

The others who were left at home were all bored and wanted to go outside and chill. It's been four days since Leo leave the Earth to find Grim.

Two days ago, All of their belongings were moved to another house, big enough to shelter a number of them. A three-storey house which was built on Leo and Tom's name. A gift from the Chairman himself. He had it built a few years ago and was just waiting for the right time to give it to the brothers.

They all agreed to go out on a raid. They all said that they wanted a change of pace. All they've done these past few days was just to stay at home and relaxed themselves out.

Everyone's all geared up and ready to go on a hunt inside a dungeon. Tom requested their raid to Chairman Daniel, and he agrees to it without any second thoughts.

"So, how strong are monsters here?" Drago said in an arrogant tone.

Tom was texting someone at that time and he did not clear exactly what Drago asked. So, he had to say the same question twice.

"Chairman said it's an A-rank dungeon. This will be a piece of cake for you guys"

"Of course! Who do you think I am?" Was he being an arrogant bastard or was he just confident. Well, past experience included, Drago's a no joke.

"Let's go end this quick. The weather's too hot"

Waiting in front of the gate that had appeared in an abandon area, the eight of them walked through the gate, where monsters lies ahead.

Inside the dungeon, one particular being who, again, will make his appearance and will soon bring forth Leo a problem only he can solve.
