Hey, You're Finally Awake

"Humanity will prevail!"

A stout looking middle aged man shouted loudly.

He was half-kneeling while his right hand holding a huge black sword that was supporting half of his weight.

His face covered in blood, his left eye was closed.

He wore black armor that covered his whole body, but it looked broken right now.

The surrounding was filled with sea of people, but none of them was moving. They are all dead people.

Some was intact, some was dismembered. A lot of them were charred like a charcoal.

'What happened?'

This was my first thought.

'Didn't I sleep in my room? What am I doing here?'

'And why that middle aged man screaming at me? Am I at the cinema right now?'

"RRRRROOOOOAAAAAARRRRRR"

But the answer was a defeaning roar that shook his soul.

The roar was so powerful that it makes him very dizzy. His head was buzzing, but he still endured and looked at the scene in front of him.

And right then, everything was engulfed in torrent of red lightning.

The scene was simply out of his imagination. This was the so-called apocalypse right in front of his eyes.

Everything was easily annihilated in front of this power.

He hurriedly looked at the middle aged man.

The middle aged man was just looked at him strongly and softly whispered.

Even in this sea of red lightning, he could still hear the whisper.

"Wait for the day of your doom, damned god."

-----

"Huh?"

The dream stopped as he opened his eyes. He looked at his surrounding and noticed that this was not his bedroom. In fact, he was laying down on a wagon's side bench.

"Aimer? Are you alright?" A soft voice filled with concern came from his left side.

He looked at the source of the voice and noticed it was from a girl appeared in her teens.

She had long blond hair that reached her waist. Her eyes were red, but it didn't give the feeling of malice but instead a precious ruby.

She had partially braided hair behind each of her ears. Giving off the image of gentle girl.

She wore a white coat, and brown gloves.

"Rize?"

A name instantaneously popped out in his mind, and he blurted it out.

"Are you okay?" The girl, Rize, asked again once time.

But the answer was silent, the boy looked at her confusedly.

'Aimer? I'm transmigrated?'

He quickly digested the information that was suddenly appeared in his brain.

Yes, he was transmigrated in the body of a boy named Aimer.

Aimer was an orphan in a small village, Kokoto Village.

He is now residing in this 16 year old boy body.

Apparently the boy was knocked unconscious by a beast that was charging at him.

Beast? And then he, now named Aimer. Sit straight up and looked at another wagon right behind his current wagon.

That wagon was driven by an old man, but the main focus was the thing behind the old man.

And what he saw there confirmed his guess.

It was a boar-like creature. Mainly covered in brown fur, they have whitish underbellies along with darker grayish tufts on their heads and backs. Jutting out from their backs are two rows of boney spikes. Their heads have a pair of small pointy ears, a long pointed snout, and a pair of large tusks that stretch out forward and curve upwards at the tip.

No doubt, it was bullfango!

This is the world of Monster Hunter.

He was a big fan of the Monster Hunter franchise. Even, he managed to complete the first generation of Monster Hunter in PlayStation 2, the hardest Monster Hunter game ever made. (Try it guys, its fun really.)

But, the excitement was short lived as he suddenly felt a stinging pain on his head.

Aimer instinctively touched his head. He just noticed his head was covered in bandage.

"Oh, the dreg has woken up?" A mocking voice sounded. It came from the driver of the wagon he was on.

Aimer looked at the person who mocked him. It was a guy at the age of 20.

He had soft short blonde hair and blue eyes, he looked quite handsome if not for his condescending expression.

He was wearing leather chainmail that looked quite light.

His name was Viktor, Rize's older brother.

Rize had her ruby eyes from their mother, while Viktor eyes resembled their father.

"Brother, you aren't allowed to talk rudely to Aimer." Rize shouted at her brother while crossed her arms around her chest.

"Rize you spoiled girl. I had enough of your willfulness." Surprisingly, Viktor was fuming mad when he heard his sister words, he continued, "If not for my timely help, maybe we would never meet again. YOU UNDERSTAND?" At the end, Viktor even roared loudly.

Rize could only bowed her head in silence. She poster her mouth while sobbing quietly.

Having recalled the memory, Aimer blushed in shame as well.

It all started in the village, when Rize asked her older brother to a group hunting with Aimer for practice.

Of course Viktor refused it straight away and wouldn't budge no matter what.

The reason? Because Aimer was an orphan, while Rize was the granddaughter of the Village Chief. She was the Jewel of everyone's eyes.

Moreover, Aimer wasn't a notable hunter as well. He was just 0 star hunter.

You must know every kid can choose to be a profession when they reached age of 15, and completed the basic education of the village.

Aimer and Rize choose to be a hunter. But Rize was quite capable, as she reached 1 Star hunter in a few month after she started hunting.

That was why Viktor didn't accept Rize's request. It was just wasting his time to help untalented hunter.

But, Rize, this genius girl suddenly had brilliant idea or a stupid one.

She brought Aimer out of village without anyone noticing, and went out to the peripheral of the forest to hunt some beast.

She thought, by bringing home a beast would show anyone that Aimer was also qualified to be an 1 Star hunter.

The idea was fine, the execution was disaster.

Rize was a support hunter. Meaning she was not suited in direct confrontation with a beast. Her weapon was light bowgun with some adjusted part to enhance the damage. While Aimer used Sword and Shield, balancing between attacking and defending.

It was fine if her front liner was capable, but Aimer was complete amateur.

Even he as a modern person must admit that the original Aimer was slow reflexed, and quite stupid.

As soon as they found a bullfango, they immediately thought it was perfect.

Since bullfango was not particularly hard to deal with. It just had 1 kind of attack, charging ahead.

When they hunted it, everything was going according to the plan. As long as you were careful, you can easily dodge it.

Of course for the amateur like Aimer, it was not so easy to read the moves, especially when the bullfango was right in front of his eyes. But, he teamed up with Rize who was very observant.

Even she managed to forced the bullfango to stop its charge attack several times.

You know, this is not a game where every beast could temporary ranked every attack.

Bullfango had soft fur, meaning it took quite a damage and even flinched when an Arrow hit it.

Alas, amateur was amateur, or rather they had a bad luck.

Rize accidentally stepped on a pitfall trap because she couldn't tell the difference between the trap and the grass. So she was trapped and couldn't move.

The bullfango didn't waste the chance as it charged straight to Rize.

A human body could not withstand this kind of direct attack. It was like a person contronting a running car.

But it was at this time, the original Aimer didn't even think. He brought up his shield in front of his chest.

And it was at this time, Viktor, who was searching for his sister, came.

Viktor witnessed how Aimer used his body to took the bullfango charge head on without hesitation.

Even he, a 2 Star hunter wouldn't dare to do the same.

That was why Viktor is now fuming mad at his sister antique. Hunting is life and death, not a game.

"You understand?" Viktor asked once again while squinting his eyes at Rize.

"Understand, but..." Rize wanted to complain again, but she was cut short by Viktor.

"No but!"

"Hihihi, Viktor stop being mad. In the end, everything is fine isn't it?" This time, the feminime voice came from a woman beside Viktor.

She had a bulky body with tanned skin. A brown short hair with black eyes. Honestly, she looked more like a bodybuilder than the bodybuilder himself.

She was Seria, Viktor's wife.

As for why she was chosen by Viktor? We could only say everyone has their own taste.

Viktor didn't have the time to asked any help, so he just brought his wife to search for Rize.

"At least, we witnessed the birth of a real man." Seria smiled and looked provocatively at Aimer.

His body suddenly suddered under that gaze.

'Spare me, i'm innocent.' He thought.

"Tsk." Viktor only sulked, giving a way out for Rize and Aimer. He didn't purse it any further.

"Aimer, I'm sorry." Rize tugged Aimer's sleeve while holding back tears.

After all, Aimer's injury was her fault.

"Hehe, like sister Seria said, in the end, everything is fine. Don't blame yourself." Aimer laughing while patting her head. After all, who could hold a grudge against this kind of soft girl?

Rize blushed and bowed her head even deeper. She was secretly smiling while enjoying her head being caressed. (Ok, everything has its own backstory, i will tell you later)

'Not bad, the original owner of this body managed to land a huge deal. A girl of this caliber having a crush for him. Even I was inferior in my past life.' Of course, Aimer who was experienced in the world noticed that Rize liked the original Aimer.

It was just the original Aimer was too dense and stupid to notice! Typical japanese main character.

'Aiya, you died because of rammed by a bullfango. Now I got all the benefit, it was very unfortunate but thank you.'

Aimer who was happy suddenly froze.

He heard a voice very familiar, it was not very noticable unless you paid attention carefully.

It was a roar, of a bird?

Rize noticed Aimer's strange expression and asked, "What happened?"

Aimer looked up and noticed several blue creatures jumped from a hill. And slowly expanding, their target were the wagons!

"BE CAREFUL" Without second thought, Aimer jumped out of the wagon while grabbing Rize.

Everyone was confused by his sudden outburst and looked towards him. But,

CCCRRRAAAAASSSSHHHH

The wagons were destroyed, everyone was thrown out and rolled on the ground.

"Cough cough, what happened?" Viktor asked while coughing. He looked at Aimer who was shocked like he lost his soul.

Then, he followed Aimer's line of sight.

There were several blue creature with orange crest on their head.

"This is bad!" Aimer said with trembling voice.

The pack of beast that was commencing a surprise attack was velocipreys.

But what made him really frightened was the one who currently feasting on the old driver.

It tore the old driver's head easily while swallowing the head in a single gulp.

Aimer, a soul from modern world was not used to this scene. He trembled while having cold sweat on his body.

"This is bad." He said it once again while looked at the biggest velociprey.

"Really bad."

Its size was far larger than the other velociprey. The orange crest was also bigger and also deeper in color.

The alpha velociprey, Velocidrome.
