《Hunters Royale》Agony!!
Advertisement
Multiple sounds echoed through the corridor as Jin, Toby, and Jonathan shuffled through the marbled floor.
All three of them were glued to each other in a tug of war of collars and ties. Toby and Jonathan, synonymous to disgruntled bulls, lobbed haphazard qualms at the blonde who was clamped in between.
Every individual utterance amassed the volume of a Prima Divo as it thundered and ricocheted off the walls of the hallway they were walking on.
"WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU LEVEL 666!!"
"I DON'T KNOW TOBY!!."
"BUT YOU WERE GOING TO TELL SOMETHING TO US WEREN'T YOU??"
"YES JOE!!"
"THEN WAS IT ABOUT YOU BEING A FRIGGIN LEVEL 666??"
"YES!?? WHAT?! NO!!! CAN SOMEONE EVEN BECOME A LEVEL 666?"
"THEN WHAT THE HELL WAS IT ABOUT!!?"
"I WAS ABOUT TO SAY THAT I WAS A LEVEL 25 HUNTER!!!"
"YEA, YOU WERE ABOUT TO SAY THAT, BUT YOU WERE A LEVEL 666??!"
"NOO!! JOE AND TOBY... AAARGH"
The overshadowed hallway unfurled to light as the quarreling triad arrived at their school's open quadrangle (inner courtyard).
The walls were colored white on which black polka dots were festooned. It was a 4-way path. One of the hallways led to the boy's toilet and back to the steps which guided them back to their classroom.
In a resembling manner were the other 3 pathways. Two of them led to classrooms and the third one, which existed polar to where Jin, Toby, and Jonathan were strutting, in a unique way that is, directed to the Principal's office and the staff room.
The ceiling of the open quadrangle corridor was aided by concrete cylinders or generally labeled 'Pillars', with 5 on each of the pathways.
Infuriated and perplexed, Jin punched one out of the 5 neatly lined pillars, the one at the very front which abutted the other 4.
*Boom*
All 5 adjoined pillars blew into smithereens as dust and concrete smoke held their place.

"WHAT IN THE WORLD?!!"
Toby shrieked, his hands clenched and trembled as he jerked Jonathan's torso. The teenager who had his eyes widened through his glasses was just as petrified as his friend. Jonathan's jaw dangled loosely at its depth as he witnessed the pillars succumb into dust through his convex lens.
Jin was stupefied. He went motionless. The brain of Jin was processing the spectacle that his eyes had just glimpsed.
As if yearning for Jin to scream, his right hand thundered with pain, rendering him to bellow and bow down in agony.
"AAARGH"
Jin's scream ululated as he kneeled, clasping his tormenting hand.
'What's happening to me?'
'First the system and then this?'
'And what's with this pain?? It's killing me!!'
Jin thought, clasping his hand while tears rolled down his cheeks. He didn't want to cry -- No, he wasn't crying, but the piercing pain was victimizing him to do so. All he felt was pain, not the impulse to cry, but his tear glands were going nuts because of the affliction.
'But I never enabled my system'
'Enabling my system isn't even possible inside the school!'
.....
The 'Bountress City' school had its statutes. Not only just this school but the schools all over the world heeded them, particularly one of them.
The one rule which every school rigidly follows is the rule where pupils aren't allowed to, either activate their system or their powers inside the school.
In the outskirts of Country Eden, even after numerous warnings of the school staff, some delinquents, that were problem children, broke these rules which resulted in them hurting themselves and the students around them.
This complicated problem was debated throughout the world by the respected ruling government of the countries. After a whole year of thorough insight and research about the issue, the country in the west which was the government of Athena was able to conclude this issue with a more exemplary and pragmatic solution.

Which was a simple and effective... 'Joule Breaker'.
Joule Breakers set up by Magic Hunters acted as distinct cages which encompassed a particular area where hunters possessing a system of the maximum level of 35 become inept of using their birth-given powers.
But the system was still allowed to level up by the experience the students earned without their powers, even though it would only portray a drop in the ocean.
Well, getting something was way better than nothing.
Even though the pros multiplied, there were still cons, but it wasn't bothering to that extent to which the new rules had to be bent.
One of the cons being said 'What If a student besets the cap limit of level 35?'. It was, in fact, a good concern by the authorities. But it was very well and equally tackled by the fact that there were almost none who surpassed level 35 before the age of 18, that was before they graduated high school.
Almost None. It was only a momentous possibility of 1 in a billion in a world amassing 25 billion humans. Simply. The percentage would be 1.0E-7%.
Yet there were 25, 25 of them who bent the laws of logic. There was one who was born with a Level 50 system. That baby who was a grown-up man was now ranked the No.1 among the Hunter Monarchs.
Now, there was another... and he was almost dead because his right hand pained like hell.
"AAARGH"
'Now I get it!! My system!!. It's already Level 666!!'
"Tch... No wonder I did that"
His eyes winced as he grinned, he clenched his teeth through the pain rumbling inside his right hand.
"I've become too complacent of the Joule Breaker, that I forgot to turn off my system"
It was true. Since Jin forgot to turn off his system, his punch transmitted from his Level 666 arm had sent the pillars to the void. They were not destroyed, they skipped the dimension because of his power.
It was also the reason why his hand was rippling with pain.
"But what's with this pain!! Aargh"
[It wasn't your system... Using my powers out of the blue would only do you harm brat]
"Huh?"
Jin scanned around him as he heard a deep, raspy voice speak.
There was no one, except his dumb friends who were regardless of his screams of agony, gawking at him bewildered.
"Toby!! Joe!! Fetch the nurse for me"
"...."
"...."
"IDIOTS!!! DON'T JUST STAND THERE!! GOOO!!!"
Jin's call back to reality snapped them off their thoughts.
"Yes?....Ah Yes!!"
"Toby, it's this way"
"Ah, shit... I know Joe..."
The shuffling of feet grew distant as Toby and Jonathan scurried towards the nurse's office.
Jin sighed, the pain however hadn't yet lessened. His notions waltzed back to the deep, husky voice which had enunciated to him seconds ago.
[I'm still here though, you don't have to think about me]
"WHO'S IT!!!"
Jin yelled to the air, his wail echoed through the hallway.
"Don't play with me!. You did see me smash the pillars right"
[Stop talking to the air brat]
"Then who are you?"
[What do you mean, who I am???]
[I'm the DEMON LORD BRAT!!]
"Ga.."
[Don't gasp yet !!]
"..."
[Who I am you ask??]
...
...
...
[Hello Jin....]
[It's nice to meet you...]
[I'm glad to be of your service]
[And...]
[I'M YOUR FUCKING SYSTEM!!!]
"....."
*Pin Drop Silence*
[You can gasp now]
*100X INTENSIFIED GASP*
....
....
....
[Give me a scream as well]
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!"

They settle down in a small neighborhood known as Izzaya, in a city called Haggrew. Just a few days after moving, he finds out about a dark past from the Prohibition Era that still haunts the neighborhood, a dark past full of grizzly murders and kidnappings. Determined to know more about it, he finds out that there are ties to an old abandoned house he always passes by in the neighborhood, seeing it as a lead. Hesitant at first, due to the fear of breaking and entering. In order to find out more, he needed to go into the abandoned house where he finds a mysterious door that isn't like any other in the house. The infamous door that was presumed to be "The Culprit's Room." He enters the room where he suddenly got sucked in by an unstoppable force. He wakes up outside the abandoned house, to a confused girl in front of him trying to get him back into his senses.

The abandoned house looked newly built along with other old houses in the vicinity. Trying to understand the situation he's in with all the clues he has, he eventually asks the girl what year it currently was to confirm his speculations. To this, the girl replies with a serious tone, "1927." Steven doesn't know what to do with all this information. Will he be happy that he could know more about the dark past and possibly try preventing it? Will he be distressed in trying to figure out how to come back to his own time?
