《The First Hunter》Chapter 83: A+, Part II

Jingle! A fine jingle that they had never heard before appeared in Mount Cheonggye, which was filled with the cries of the Goblins.
Ki-yi? To the innumerable sounds, the Goblins showed curiosity before hostility.
Kiii, Kiii! Curiosity drove the Goblins. There was no hesitation or caution. It was because Mount Cheonggye was as good as heaven for Goblins. There were a large number of Goblins, definitely over a thousand, and the White Goblin, a ghastly green-eyed monster, reigned as the king of the Goblins. There was no reason for Goblins to be wary in a land where only Goblins could survive.
Kiii! Then the Goblins began to gather in the direction of the sound.
It was a man who welcomed such Goblins. He wore a thick protective coat, a knife-case on his back, a large bag on top of it, and he wore a pair of gold earrings on his left hand that did not match his appearance.
Jingle! The sound that had brought the Goblins' curiosity was the sound of the earrings on his wrists.
Kiii! Of course, the moment they found the man, the Goblins were longer curious.
Kieee! Immediately, they expressed hostility with the screaming, and some acted before expressing hostility.
Pabat, Paat! A dozen Goblins began to rush toward the man like wild boars.
They were not hesitant at all.
This was a heaven for the Goblins, or hell for any other beings except Goblins. Everything else that appeared to the Goblins was just prey. Furthermore, there was a reason for the Cheonggye Mountain Goblins to have such confidence. There were many Goblins here: not only the Goblins with very powerful combat power but also the Goblins with mysterious magic!
Kirururu! Most Goblins was very weak but the Hobgoblins made them strong warriors.
Kiii! The eyes of the Goblins who ran ahead at the magical crying of the orange eyes Goblins that had been heard somewhere began to flutter.
Krrr! They looked drugged. Furthermore, the disturbance that started like this spread around. It moved all the Goblins of Cheonggye Mountain.
Kukuku! The ground was shaking, and the trees began to tremble. It was like a mountain crying.
Kim Tae-hoon, the man facing the waves of the Goblins, blackened his eyes.
Jingle! His wrist, which was as black as his eyes, made a clear sound and dug into his ears.
The pure tone that dug into his ears made his mind clear. It was not negative, but the opposite.
'Everything is clear.' It was a pure white paper which could accept anything. He felt like he had been drawing TK pictures on a dirty board and received a white drawing paper for the first time. He felt like everything he drew would be clearer than anything else.
The scenery Kim Tae-hoon saw was also so clear it couldn't be any clearer. It was like coming out of the light after the darkness. So he was worried at this moment.
What should I draw in this scene?
Should I use arrows to make small holes in this broad space?
Or should I use the Sword to make headless bodies and scatter them?

Kieee! The worry continued until one Goblin was close enough to bite him, and he could smell its rotten breath.
Jingle! At that moment, the gold earrings on his wrist made a sound. But it was no longer a clear sound.
Kwa-reung! It was a sign of the appearance of a thunderbolt.

Lee Jae-seok.
As an Awakener, he had survived since the advent of monsters. It was not easy, but in return for his survival, he was able to gain superhuman power. He ate the monster stones, and his ability was steadily strengthened.
From a certain moment, it was possible to gain power that could not be compared to an average man, and even those who were called professionals among the public.
He had felt strange emotions at that fact. The joy of being chosen, the sense of superiority that ordinary people could not rival him, and a sense of relief in a world where living without power had become a pain.
'Oh, my God.' But at this moment, the scenery seen through the expensive camera lenses broke down Lee's feelings.
Kwa-reung!
"What, what?"
"Crazy!"
It was a powerful explosion. A ring of flames was created around Kim Tae-hoon's body, and the ring quickly spread out with an explosion.
Kwa-kwa-kwa! Exposure to the explosion had become a terrible thing. The trees with shallow roots were pulled out, and the deep-rooted trees were broken. The weak Goblins' bodies were crushed and hurled away.
'What the hell was that…'
'Is it true what I'm seeing right now, not a movie?'
Everything for a hundred meters around him was a charred ruin. But even more intense was the horror that swept through everything after with the explosion.
Anger.
It was anger. Expressing this anger was not different from expressing hostility and murder to the other party. The explosion caused by Kim was deeply mixed with the anger. And it was not just anger.
When a tiger expressed anger toward a rat herd, the rats were bound to be frightened.
Here in Cheonggye Mountain, Goblins were rats, and Kim, who had expressed his anger, was a tiger. The Awakeners of the Capital Defense Command, who watched the scene from a safe distance, were big rats.
There was no one who could stay calm in front of Kim's fear.
The sound of men swallowing was over the place. Those who ended up just swallowing were the strong Awakeners.
The bodies of those with low Energy rank were now shaking badly, as if they were naked during a past winter's night.
Snap, snap, snap! During the trembling, the camera shutters blinked, the sounds of some of their trembling fingers pounding the camera shutter button. The sound of the camera shutter sounded like a scream that the tongue, which had been frozen in fear, could not voice.
The only thing in this situation that could answer this anger without fear, was anger.
Kh-uh-uh-uh! Only the owner of Cheonggye Mountain, the White Goblin with green eyes, was willing to punish the one who dared to spit fear in its realm!

[Anger Soaring].
The power of the Gamecock caused an intense explosion and gave Kim enough satisfaction. The ability was also powerful, but the true significance of Anger Soaring was that he could conditionally use the fear.
Monsters were able to exert overwhelming violence against humanity because of the influence of fear. Even if they held a powerful weapon, they became helpless when they were exposed to the fear.
It was the same with the monsters. In front of him, who was able to use the fear, the monsters were also defenseless. Of course, the price was not small.
'It's very Energy-consuming.'
In return, Anger Soaring demanded all of his Energy. Energy consumption could not be controlled. It was also a risk to consider when using the Anger Soaring. When Energy was consumed, physical ability, as well as resistance to fear, were reduced. It made the enemy defenseless, but he was defenseless, too.
His trump for that part was the Gilt-bronze Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva
Statue.
The relic from Buyeo showed its ability in the bag that he was carrying. His Energy, which had been empty, was restored quickly.
Kh-uh-uh-uh! At that moment, the cry of Albino Goblin knocked on his eardrum. It started at a long distance, but it was not a long distance to his hearing, and his spine stood up to the sound of Cheonggye Mountain echoing the cry.
The Energy that started to gain weight again wriggled and protected its owner from the fear.
'I can hold against the fear of the green-grade monster.'
However, although his reduced Energy did not completely protect him from the fear of the Albino Goblin, it was not enough that he could not demonstrate his ability.
Moreover, the gold earrings hanging on his wrist sharpened his concentration and mental strength. Thanks to them, at this moment, even though he was about to battle the green-grade monster, he was able to assess the battlefield coolly.
'I'll hide the Gilt-bronze Incense Burner of Baekje.' Once he tried to hide its existence. He used it in battle with the Gamecock, and the report was passed on to the Capital Defense Command through Oh Se-bum. But they only knew that he was playing with golden smoke animals.
Moreover, it was not Lee Hyuk who knew the fact, but the Six Snakes, who wanted to take the power of the Capital Defense Command. In such a situation, it was not necessary to show the existence of the Gilt-bronze Incense Burner of Baekje.
It was a different kind of thing to show a strong hand and show all your cards.
'I will also exclude the Horse Figure Type Earthenware.'
The Horse Figure Type Earthenware - Servant Statue was new, so it was not unreasonable to use it, but the story was different if it was the Master Statue.
The Horse Figure Type Earthenware was originally owned by the Capital Defense Command, but it was lost in the Incheon entry operation to rescue Kate Kennedy. It was not strange that he found it in Incheon and used it, but it was not good for the Capital Defense Command.
Was there a single human being who liked to see things lost from the original owner's hands being used in the hands of others?
And the best relics he had were, of course, a Sword and an Arrow.
Ts-reung! The Sword of the Imperator sheathed behind him hummed, waiting and willing to appear.
'Hmm?' Whoo-woong! At that moment, a stone of the size of a person's body came flying by itself from behind him.
Chop! The Sword of the Imperator immediately cut the stone flying toward its owner in half. The two stones crossed to either side of him.
Thump! Thump! The sound of two stones hitting the ground stimulated his sensitive hearing. At that fact, he glared at Albino Goblin coming from his front.
In the meantime, once again, stones started to fly to him, this time several of them.
'It is using Telekinesis', he thought. The ability Albino Goblin had was Telekinesis.
After he realized the fact, he stopped thinking because he no longer needed to think about ways to hunt it. He now began to run toward it with his arms black.

Kwa-reung!
When Anger Soaring shook Cheonggye Mountain, there were those who watched the scene from far away.
"Wow, that's not a joke."
Two men were twin brothers, apparently of the same appearance. "I can't believe there is such a human being. How many monster stones do we have to eat to be that monster?"
But their temperament looked different. "That's awesome. Can I stop him? Huh? Thirty-seconds would be great. I have to deliver a letter to him and is there a chance for me? Damn it, I've come to Seoul after a long time, but I am going to risk my life delivering a letter, rather than taking a cup of coffee on the boulevard. I did not have to come here. I think cleaning the Military Demarcation Line would be safer than here, right?"
One was constantly talking, and the other, who was far away with a camera in his hand, was silently filming Kim.
"Shut up." The man who had been silent then spoke for the first time.
"What?"
"Is that what you're saying?"
"There's no reason not to tell you. Shut up. Is that what you're saying?"
"You're my brother, and I think you stopped at the level of shut up." It was the conversation of brothers that could not be seen anywhere else.
"Look at this? Are you trying to get impudent?"
"Shut up a little bit."
And as with the brothers' fights, the two began to raise the level of the struggle.
Kh-uh-uh-uh! It was Albino Goblin's grudge that stopped the fight between them.
The two of them were silent at the shouting and focused on the battle of monster and monster that would begin now. On the left arms of the uniforms they were wearing, there was a mark with two circles attached like a snowman. It was the mark of the Eighth Mechanized Infantry Division, the Ottuki Unit.

The carnomancer
Jackson was but a normal american just looking to get by in life. unfortunately for him life had other plans as a terrorist bombing took place in the air port in london where he was getting off at. The resulting explosion killed him instantly, and now he has been reincarnated into the world of Rokna.In this new world of magic, monsters, and conflict join him under his new identity Adimir freelancer the adventurer half-elf as he seeks a way to live out an exciting life of researching new and creative ways of combining magic and science. But with a tyrannical empire beginning to prepare for a bloody war the signs of turmoil begin to loom on the horizon. Adimir will face numerous challenges. Both challenges to those native to this world, and against other people have come from earth. Author's comment: I'll be uprfont with you on the entire war thing that the description hints at. Yes it will eventually happen, and many of the strange and out of place things in the beginning will tie into that. Not that it will be explained until much later in the novel. In fact the first 100 or 200 chapters will be spent on the main character growing stronger as an adventurer before the entire war even begins to start rearing its ugly head. So for those eager for the war to kick off sorry, but there won't be a big explosive war so early. At least not with the empire (although if you read carefully you may be able to pick up signs of how close the war is with what happens in the story). But the wait (I hope) will be worth it as it will be diving into some of the stuff a otherworlder in a significant position of power could do with the right knowledge. With that little warning over with I hope you enjoy this novel of mine. Its my first actual attempt at writing a story for people to read so please keep that in mind. If you have any criticism please tell me. I'd love to read them and will be using them to help me in improving my writing quality as time goes on. Experience is the best teacher after all.
