"How should I know? I already said before that monocle of yours is a new thing to me. How do I know how it works? However, this Swamp Croc does have a camouflaging ability that could deceive a hunter's sense. So maybe it works the same way to your radar."
'But my radar can still track creatures in hiding. Like that Land Behemoth from before, I can know that it is a monster despite it was pretending to be a hill.'
"It was not pretending, it was simply sleeping. You lot were the ones that mistook it for a hill. And I said ability, not simply hiding. This Swamp Croc had an inherent ability to trick sensing ability. I think it was more or less like the invisibility effect of your Cloak of Shadow. I bet if someone else uses that cloak of yours to become invisible, he or she will not be detected by your radar as well. That's why you can escape Winston's detection, do you think such a high-level being has no ability to sense your presence?"
Jack thought about her explanation. If that's true, he should not allow himself to become too reliable to his radar. There might be other monsters out there that could trick his radar as well. He would be in big trouble if he assumed himself safe because the radar was empty while there were such monsters around.
After they managed to kill one hundred Swamp Boas to complete the quest, they came back out of the swamp. During this trip, Bowler had increased to level 16, while Fierce Flame reached level 17. The Man stayed at the same level of 17. Jack himself managed to increase his Warrior level to 18 after the end of the trip.
Jack checked his status. He had 12 free attributes points, 6 free Warrior skill points, and 4 free Mage skill points that were still unused. He thought about them and decided to use his 12 free attribute points. He divided them equally into the three main attributes, Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence, 4 points each.
While for his free Warrior skill points, he decided to spend 2 points to increase his advanced skills, Sword of Light to level 7 and Charge to level 5. He kept the remaining points for later use. He also checked his Container of Souls and found that it had 2132 souls inside. He used 2000 souls to upgrade his much-used basic skill Power Strike to level 5.

They then went and divided the trophy loots that had been collected in these hunting trips in four ways equally. The other three offered for Jack to get a bigger share, but again Jack insisted on equal distribution.
He ended up with fewer trophy loots compared to when he was with the Death Associates team since he only needed to turn over 40% share. But he preferred to quest with this team. It was better to receive less and share with his friends, rather than receive more but contribute to the enemy.
After they sorted out the shares. They activated the Town Return scroll to return to Thereath capital. Each scroll could only carry only one person, so each of them activated one scroll. A soft white glow enveloped their bodies and they found themselves instantly teleported inside the capital.
There was a huge central square in between the three districts of the capital. In the middle of this square was a large open structure for which they had no idea what it was used for. There were always four level 60 guards standing guard around this structure, they have no idea what they were guarding against. Now that they appeared at the center of this structure, they realized this place was a teleportation portal.
"That was efficient! I will buy more of this Town Return scroll!" Bowler exclaimed.
"Are you planning to go far away? What are you buying it for if you will only journey along the outskirt of the city mostly?" Flame asked.
"Well, you never know. It might come in handy. If we have this scroll when we were chased around by the Warriors of Solidarity, we can easily escape them," Bowler countered back.
"You are right. But you need to know, this Town Return scroll can't be activated if you are in combat," Jack told him.
"Oh, well, it can still be used as long as we can run far enough to break combat, so I'm still going to buy it," Bowler insisted. "By the way, I expect we to be teleported to the place where dead players resurrect. Turn out it was a different place."
"Where does dead player resurrect?" Jack asked.

"Over there," The Man pointed. Not far from where they stood was a large circular platform slightly elevated from the ground. There were another four guards stood over there.
"Well, you must have known because a lot of your subordinates had visited there," Bowler teased.
"How about I send you there then?" The Man threatened.
"Okay, let's us submit our request. Afterward, do you all want to repeat the quests again?" Jack asked.
"Maybe tomorrow?" Bowler said as he looked at the sky. It was going to get dark soon.
"What's the problem? We can always camp outside," Fierce Flame said.
"I can't tonight. Need to settle the boys. Tomorrow morning I'm free though," The Man said.
Jack nodded, "okay, let's do it again tomorrow morning. I can only do one run tomorrow, I will have other matters to attend to in the afternoon."
They went together to the Hunters Associations and turned in their quests and trophy loots. They received a bit of experience but lots of coins, Jack alone got 82 hunter points with 1 gold and 49 silver coins from the run. If they didn't split the trophy loots four-way, the total would be more than the incomes from the route Jack had given Death Associates & White Scarfs. Of course, they would need to subtract the earnings with the cost of Town Return Scroll.
Bowler and the others were thrilled by the number of coins they received. Jack bet they would faint if he told them he had 41 gold coins in his bag.
"Let's do this again tonight!" Flame said with excitement.
"This…," The Man was also tempted after seeing the number of coins he received. "Alright," he then said and sent a message to his subordinates telling them he would be unavailable tonight.
Bowler was not so dazzled by coins but since everyone was going, he tagged along as well.
They went and did the same route again. They camped outside in the night. Flame seemed to have gotten used to spending the night in the wilderness. She even had the uncommon grade tent, which would send out an alert if monsters were approaching.
In the morning, they repeated the same quests again. After a total of two runs, Jack had gathered a total of 164 hunter points, 2139 souls, and 3 gold, 12 silver coins from those runs. He used 2000 souls to strengthen the Power Strike skill again, bringing it to level 7. The skill would now deliver 210% damage, but the stamina required to execute had increased.
After finishing the third run, Jack bid them farewell. They seemed incline to take the hunting quests again by themselves. Jack thought it should not be a problem, they had gotten used to the monsters in the quest. As long as they were careful, there should not be a problem. The Man himself had become level 18 Warrior after their last run. Too bad Jack's Mage class had not yet leveled up, but it was close. He just needed a little bit more experience.
After separated from them, Jack looked for a secluded alley and changed into Unrivalled Arcaner. He sent a message to Scarface via the guild channel, who then had Bigarm gathered a team to go on a hunting quest trip with him.
He had informed Scarface before that he might not be available until the day of the meeting, but he decided to aid them another time before the meeting. Otherwise, they might get suspicious if he was missing and only appeared again during the time of the meeting.
Jack got the same member to his team except for Warpath. The guy was indeed an expert, he had managed to gain the attention of other prominent members of the guild and was recruited to join their team.
Jack was given another low-level member as a substitute. As expected of Bigarm, the guy was as narrow-minded as he could be. Jack did not mind, he was just doing this for show.

Fade
The story follows the life of John Grimshaw. From tragic beginnings to hopeful ends, John embarks on a quest for meaning. When visiting the cemetery he meets a girl named Jennifer Stone, a youthful teenager who quickly becomes a safety raft for John in turbulent times. But nothing could have prepared John for when he met the man in the pinstripe suit. The man with bright eyes, dark skin, and gleaming white teeth. The man claiming to the impossible and break the thin ice below John's feet entirely. (ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMER) This story starts off relatively dark. Those who dislike subject material surrounding loss, depression, grief, should probably not read. With that said, the story evolves into a supernatural thriller past the initial chapters. It’s a comparably low fantasy for a website like this but hope some of you still enjoy it.

Fantasy World
Spencer Underwood has little realistic hope of escaping his paraplegic, bullied, and friendless high school existence. At least until he and three classmates are unrealistically transported to Nibiru, a legendary fantasy world ruled by mythological gods and inhabited by strange races and nightmarish monsters. Spence can walk again, which is good considering he will have to use his online fantasy role-playing game experience to lead the dysfunctional party on the gods’ quest and summon the courage to finally stand up to Trey, his worst bully from school. Success means survival and earning respect and acceptance, especially from Morgan, his attractive but snarky Goth classmate. But Spence discovers Nibiru is more a world of science fiction than fantasy, and they are just unwitting pawns in a deadly scheme of the gods. If completing the quest doesn’t result in their return to Earth, the party may have to do the unthinkable and challenge the gods themselves. (The novel is complete at 56 chapters, so feel free to jump in without fear of it fizzling out in a premature demise.)

Mana World - Convergence
The story is complete it was a prototype and it is BAD.I do not recommend reading it, I will not edit it in any form, it is still here as a personal remained of how bad I was at the start. Mages are soo cool but without mana you can't become a mage. Well let's see how we can get mana to this world. I'm sure it would be a perfectly safe and excellent idea. First try at writing something like this. Dunno if I will update constantly or not, dunno what will happen with the story and the characters. Recipe: 3 cubic meters of science, 5 shit tons of pseudo science, 2 dantians of mistycism,1/2 cup of stupid references, 1 package of sarcasm, 1/400 tolkien epicness, 1 tea spoon of stupid commentaries, a pinch of craziness and dressed with randomness, uppps, too much randomness. Accepting all kinds of constructive criticism. Well prologue is finished.
