CHAPTER 52 - The Hunt

Captain Ruger, the leader of Lord Richter's elite fighters, was consumed by an unquenchable thirst for adventure and a relentless passion to push his limits as a warrior.

His ultimate goal was to become awakened as a true warrior, a feat he believed would bring him the recognition and respect he deserved.

Unlike most villagers, Ruger was an immigrant from the highlands, where his father had once served as a knight in the army of a noble.

However, his father's tragic death in a rivalry war between nobles left Ruger to be without a father at a tender age.

Despite his father's service, the noble withheld the promised compensation to the family, leaving Ruger and his mother destitute.

The same noble who had once employed his father mercilessly drove them out of their home, leaving them to face the harsh realities of life in the highlands.
