Chapter 12

The Hunter

From as far back as he could remember, Wijihoyun was raised to be the Vice-Head of a cult .

He remembered the bookshelf . The shelf filled with martial arts manuals . From as early as when he first learned to read and write, Wijihoyun lived with the arts . His father, who stood at the pinnacle of the cult, put his one and only son towards extreme studying

Reading, Memorizing, reading, memorizing, that cycle was continued ad infinitum . Instead of toys, he had weapons . To get familiar with them, he was taught with killing . First, a bug, then a rat, rabbit… then a person .

Sometimes, his dad came . He looked over Wijihoyun’s arts and gave him medicine . What his dad wanted was not a son, but a head of a cult that could rule the entire world .

Wijihoyun tried his best to fit in with that mindset . The medicines and the martial arts that the head created combined with the genius of Wijihoyun made it possible for him to succeed .

When he was 10, Wijihoyun was finally able to leave the library . From that point, Wijihoyun was used to murder and had the foundations necessary to learn the [Pegasus’s Grace] that only the cult heads were allowed to learn .

3 years later, Wijihoyun studied the [Pegasus’ Grace] . It was all he remembered from his past . He had… no one around him . All that was around him was a head that was like a God, and servants who followed orders .

‘Friend . ’

It was a word that Wijihoyun didn’t know . He had never had such a thing like a friend . There was no one who was capable or had the requirements to be a friend with someone like Wijihoyun .

‘First friend . ’

Wijihoyun looked down outside the window . If it was his past world, he wouldn’t have looked at him . No, there would be no reason to meet him .

This place was different . There was no guilt here . There was no God like head . This was a world called Eria .

He didn’t want to go back . It had been a month since he came . In that month, he worried that when he slept, he would wake up thinking that this was a dream . When he woek up, he would be relieved that this was not a dream .

“ . . . What a shame . ”

Wijihoyun muttered . He tied his hair back up and sighed .

“He has no talent . ”

Wijihoyun muttered .

Lee Sungmin was sweating as he was swinging his spear around .

The [Amethyst Cloud] was a technique that could be counted as one of the best out of them all . It was nothing compared to the Pegasus’s Grace, but if he learned the AMethyst Cloud, it would be easy to conquer one area .

However, like all techniques, the Amethyst Cloud was for the geniuses . Wijihoyun said it . The apex techniques and the first rate techniques had a difference .

Yet, that wasn’t for normal people . The names that usually learned these techniques were for people who had been named geniuses in their early age .

The grace techniques had more ‘kindness’ than the apex techniques and Amethyst Cloud was one of them . As a genius, this ‘kindness’ could be understood as ‘kindness’, but not to a normal person .

Lee Sungmin, in Wijihoyun’s eyes, was very far from a genius .

Sungmin knew that as well .

He practiced for a month . The manual he memorized completely . He practiced it every time .

At first, he was hopeful . The hope that he would get stronger by learning a grace technique . He had never learned something like this in his past life . He had only learned second rate techniques .

It didn’t take long for that hope to disappear .

It was obvious if he thought about it . It took him 13 years to get to level 8 with his second rate technique . Amethyst Cloud… this was a grace technique .

But it didn’t fit him .

‘I’m not a genius . ’

Sungmin breathed . The power of the Amethyst Cloud was going through his body . His breath stabilized .

The rate that he wanted to learn the technique was way slower that he expected . The kindness… it was unkindness to Sungmin . He wasn’t a genius, but he couldn’t understand the kindness that was meant for the geniuses .

Sungmin practiced the Chase Soul technique as well as the Amethyst Cloud . Even though the Amethyst Cloud wasn’t right for him, the Chase Soul technique increased quickly combined with it . He didn’t have enough inner strength yet, but the inner strength that was given by the Amethyst Cloud wasn’t nothing compared to the Genuine Heavens .

“Is there no way to increase my inner strength?”

Sungmin asked as he breathed . He was asking to Wijihoyun who had come down from his room and was sitting in the shade .

“Medicine . ”

Wijihoyun answered .

“That’s the fastest way . ”

Sungmin knew that was the fastest way . He was hopeful that there was another way .

“There is no other way . Yet, the good thing is that… in this world there is a lot of qi . Usually when we say the size of inner strength, we use a sexagenary cycle . Therefore, in one cycle, it’s about 60 years of inner strength .

He laughed as he said .

“To get one cycle of inner strength, you need to study 60 years . To cut down the time we use potions . ”

Therefore, he still needed to get the Potion from the Colosseum . He didn’t know how much he would gain, but he needed something at this point .

“Are you going to the woods today as well?”

Wijihoyun asked . Sungmin picked up a towel and wiped away the sweat on his forehead .

“Yeah . ”

“You need money?”

“Yeah . You’re not going, right?”

Wijihoyun had interest when he first arrived . However, in just a week, Wijihoyun lost the interest in the forest .

As a hunting ground, there was barely rabbits and boars . Maybe some bears . A bit deeper, and there were goblins .

Sungmin usually went to the goblins . He could go for the orcs at this point, but he didn’t want to overextend himself .

Going to the forest to get money was one of his jobs . It had nothing to do with Wijihoyun . Wijihoyun was tired of doing the same thing over and over again after a week of it .

Wijihoyun had another hobby now . When Sungmin went to the forest, Wijihoyun went around Genavis .

“I’m going to the library . ”

He pulled out his hand towards Sungmin . Sungmin sighed and pulled out 10,000 Erie .

“You already used up the money I gave before?”

“It’s been 4 days . Of course . ”

Wijihoyun laughed and answered . Instead of Wijihoyun who didn’t hunt, Sungmin gave him money . He didn’t think it was a waste, to be honest . Wijihoyun helping him study everyday was a great help to Sungmin .

Leaving Wijihoyun, Sungmin left the inn . Using the One Thunder, he ran towards the hunting grounds . With the slow growth of the Amethyst Cloud, his inner strength still increased a great deal . A month ago, he lost all his strength after just 10 minutes, now he could be a bit liberal with his strength .

Still, it wasn’t enough to get to the hunting grounds without stopping .

*

Body .

He looked down at the body . It wasn’t the first time he saw it . There wasn’t as much at the entrance, but as he went inside, there were more bodies .

They were usually No Classes . Martial artists and magicians had enough power to stand up to these monsters, and they didn't’ stay in Genavis for a while . They know that they can’t do much if they stay here hunting goblins and orcs .

But No classes were different . They didn't’ have any strength to leave the city . It was an issue for the No Classes .

They had to stay here for a long time, either getting money for art manuals, or magic, or other skills .

It wasn’t something done in a short time . His past self stayed for 3 years .

‘This… was a human . ’

There was distance left to the goblin area . He moved down and examined the body . 2 bodies . The weapon… was a knife . At least that’s what he thought .

‘No weapon . The person must have took it . Goblins can’t be out here . . . it’s a person . ’

There was something . Sungmin remembered back . It was this time? Sungmin wrinkled his face .

His past life . There was something called ‘No Class Hunting . ’ that was a fad for a while .

It didn’t stay for long . Just a week . A person hunted the No Classes who came to the goblin area .

The purpose was to get the money and equipment . He didn’t know who it was, but he only went after No Classes and stole their money and equipment .

“Tsk . ”

Sungmin clicked his tongue and stood up . In his past life, Sungmin didn't even get to the goblin area .

‘Bad luck . ’

He was going to have to leave this area in a hurry . The blood hadn’t dried yet .

Sckk .

Sungmin shook . ‘Bright ear . ’ The skill that he had gotten in 2 months, it was a skill that increased hearing in forests .

‘Bad Luck…’

Sungmin ran forward with no hesitation .
