Requiem Of A Failed Hero

“Do you want to talk about the gate?” An agent standing before his held with a note and pen asked, behind the agent was Agent Jong-Su.

“There was a monster… a humanoid monster. It was really strong.” Raith replied.

“Hunter Raven… can you tell us in detail exactly what happened?” The agent insisted with sweat running down his temple. He was fed up, no matter how much he tried to get information out of Raith, Raith just ended up saying the basic stuff such as the monster was strong, or he lost to the monster.

Jong-Su tapped the agent and nodded to him, “I’ve got this…” He whispered and the agent left the room, leaving only Jong-Su and Raith.

“It’s been a while agent Jong-Su. I have a question for you.”

“Go ahead merchant Raven.”

“Who the fuck is after me?”

“Ah,” Agent Jong-Su slapped his face and sighed. He brought out his phone, scrolled for a few minutes then shows Raith the picture of a man.

“That man is Kylan Turner. One of America’s strongest hunters.”

“By one of America’s strongest hunters, how strong is he?”

“He’s a Catastrophe rank.”

The whole place got silent with that revelation. Then Raith asked.

“Isn’t that annoying fine boy you guys sent me Catastrophe rank?”

“Ah” Jong-Su giggled at the way Raith described Mok Jae-Hwa. “Hunter Mok Jae-Hwa is a disaster rank. Korea only has two disaster ranks, we don’t have a Catastrophe rank.”

“Shit, I lost to a disaster rank? The way I keep losing to people these days calls for a mental check.” 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑙．𝑐𝘰𝘮

Agent Jong-Su’s eyes stayed on him for a few minutes.

“You are talking about the monster you met in there right?” He asked, “…was it that strong. At max, it was an A-rank monster.”

Raith chuckled, “A rank? You belittle me.”

Agent Jong-Su was taken aback by his solemn and sorrowful expression, ‘…did he really hate that he lost like that…’

“Do you have more dungeons for me? I need to resume going to dungeons.”

“We do but we want you to calm down. Prioritize your recovery.”

“What recovery, what do you think I’ve been doing here for the past four weeks, sleeping?”

“I mean, you clearly were sleeping to me…” Agent Jong-Su mumbled looking away.

Raith stood up, “I’m ready for action.”

Ring! Ring!! Ring!!! Ring!!!!

Agent Jong-Su gently picked up the phone– at the same time, he picked up the phone Raith squinted his eyes and looked towards the window outside.

“Agent Jong-Su!! Move Hunter Raven away from that hospital room as fast as you can!! He’s here!!” Mok Jae-Hwa shouted.

“Huh?” Agent Jong-Su who was late to process what was happening suddenly so Raith clench his fist with a grin and turned to the window.

A second later, something was coming at them and it was like a shooting star, but instead of it falling was freely moving and was moving toward them at an incredible speed.

BOOOOOOOM!!!

The part of the towering hospital building that embodied Raith’s room exploded from outside as the entity collided with his window.

Raith immediately flew out, grabbing Agent Jong-Su by the collar, the two of them were unscathed even though they were caught amidst such an explosion. And one more thing to note, Agent Jong-Su’s body was blackened just like when Raith uses black Armor.

They landed on the flat top of another building.

“Oh, my God! What is this?! What is happening to my body.” Agent Jong-Su freaked out, looking at himself.

“Shut up, it is my skill, I used it to protect you from the impact of the explosion. And I will also be using it to protect you from the fall.”

“Uh? The fall? What fall?” Agent Jong-Su asked with discomfited expression.

Like his fear had suggested, immediately he got kicked off the top of the building.

Agent Jong-Su let out a big scream as he fell off the building shouting and crying.

He smashed into the ground like heavy metal and as he stood up, the blackness on his body began to fade. He was surprised, as he looked at his body.

“I’m alive! I’m alive!!!” He shouted throwing his hands in the air and shaking his waist. He must have really thought he was going to die.

Raith smiled as he looked at the agent act funny but his smile did not last forever, he shifted his gaze to the hospital window that someone had crashed into.

“You cockroach! I will destroy you today.” The guy on the window says, fuming with anger with his red hair fluttering in the wind.

Two weeks after Absalom’s debut as a hunter. He had come for Raith’s head.

That showed how much urgency was in his heart when it came to the matter of saving Volmak.

Japan was on fire and all the attention was on him because he was their first disaster rank hunter. But this guy paid no attention to anyone and for two weeks straight he continuously raided gates over and over again. Accumulating the money to fly out of the country– but he ends up making even more.

Upon hearing that he had made enough to buy a private jet. Absalom immediately bought one and flew out of the country.

His destination was Korea.

Japanese Association was scared, they tried their best to prevent him from leaving because they thought he was going to migrate but Absalom was unstoppable he was fixated on what he was going to do even with all the restrictions and distractions.

Eventually, the Japanese Association Of Hunters decided to send people with him, which he didn’t mind, while they were just preventing any other country from recruiting their hunter, all Absalom wanted was to kill Raith and take him back to Felfhiem.

Raith widened his eyes, “Holy shit… how is that bastard here?”

Absalom came out of the building, floating closer to Raith and finally landing softly on the same building that Raith was standing on.

‘Shit… he can even fly?’ Raith frowned.
