Matthew dashed forward and headed straight for Harold. Harold immediately ran in the opposite direction. However, due to carrying Rose, he could not run as fast as he could and Matthew quickly caught up to him. Luckily, the Hunters, who were on standby, were able to intercept him. Matthew turned his attention to the problem in front of him first. The Hunters attacked him. One man with a broadsword swung his sword down on Matthew. Matthew caught the sword with one hand and punched the man with his other. The was sent crashing through the wall, creating a hole in it. Matthew proceeds to lash out his claws at another Hunter. He raised his shield to protect himself but the force behind Matthew’s attack was powerful enough to cause him to fall over. Before Matthew could stomp and crush the man’s head, another Hunter saved him. The shield wielding Hunter thanked the wolfman who saved him. The w

A little while before Megat and Shiro arrived at the battle, they had just teleported into the city. Megat immediately searched for Matthew’s signature. “Found him. There’s someone else there too.” Megat said to Shiro as he was just about to sprint towards them. “Hold on Megat.” Before he did, a familiar voice stopped him. Megat knew exactly who it was. Megat turned around and found the man in a blue suit standing in front of him with a pink haired girl in his arms. “Loki, what have you done?” Megat asked him. “My plan is going smoothly.” “Your plan? Your plan was to make Matthew go through that again?!” Megat honestly wanted to punch the man but knowing that he would drop Rose made him hold back the urge. “I understand that you are angry and that this is not th

A few days laters… News about the rise of a demon in the middle of the city spread around the world. The individual known as Matthew Dragunov had caused 17 reported kills and the destruction of 10 houses and 4 shops and damaged a total of 23 other buildings. A bounty was officially put on said demon’s head for 5,000,000 Bytes. This made many bounty hunters and Hunters in general excited because of the prize. This bounty was equal to taking down a Giga class monster. Of course, it would also mean it would be just as dangerous. However, that would not stop them. Aside from that, rumors about the return of an ex-Legendary rank Hunter including their members had also circulated quickly. The executives and the president especially were always questioned by other Hunters and reporters who were looking for a scoop. Cecilia returned home shortly after the event, traumatized after what she experi

Matthew and Susan finished their meals after everyone else had already left. They picked up the plates and put them in the sink to be washed. Susan and Matthew stood side by side at the sink, scrubbing and rinsing the dishes together. Matthew was quicker and more efficient in doing his chore than Susan. “You know, we used to always do chores back in our house.” Susan started speaking. “Excuse me, our house? When the hell did you live with me?” Matthew asked. Susan chuckled. “Haha, we were in an.. Academy, I guess. You, me, Megat and a bunch more other kids. Our batches were divided into houses and we were in the same house.” Susan paused to put a plate on the rack. “As any school goes, they tend to make students do chores here and there. You would always volunteer and Megat and I would get dragged with you.” “Oh, uhh sorry about that.”

Rose woke up in a room. It was already bright outside as the white sunlight shone through the open window. She felt a slight pain in her head, probably from being hit earlier. She remembered everything. Judging from the time of day, at least an entire day had passed. This room was unfamiliar. The walls were made from wood while the furniture was very simple. The window showed the scenery outside. The area was surrounded by trees and there was also a faint sound of water flowing, a river perhaps. Rose did not know where she was but she knew she must get out of there. She got out of bed and checked herself. It seemed that she was unharmed. She reached for the door and opened it. To her surprise, there was someone already standing behind the door. The man also seemed surprised as well. “Oh, so you’re up-” “[Wind Blast]!” “Uwaa
