Beginning!

In the center of the mountain near City 97, a goblin can be seen running intimately. Its face was full of horror like it had seen a monstrous enemy before and starts running to save its life.

But before a goblin could distant itself, a knife emerge from behind the goblin and quickly penetrated its neck from the back! The goblin immediately died as the knife pierced so deeply!

Soon, a boy emerged from the trees behind the goblin, swirling a dagger with his hand, while seemingly playing at it. Whats more captivating was that the boy was well-equipped from bottom to top!

The boy got near to the dead goblin and was about to pick up the monster core when suddenly, a loud roar was heard!

' Roarrrrr '

The roar was so loud and can be ear-piercing, causing one's esteem to decline greatly, but amidst of it, the boy was still calm as if the roar was just from ant!

After a while, a Hobgoblin appeared from the dense forest! It was the same height as the boy but looks more bulkier.

' Roar '

The Hobgoblin roared again, hoping to bring fear to boy's spine, but it was wasted, as the boy was still as calm as before!

In fact, instead of being afraid, a smirk forms on the boys lips!

The hobgoblin got provoked as he saw this and quickly pounce on the boy! Every step it took cause the area to shake minimally.

The boy remain standing and when the Hobgoblin got nearer and nearer, it thrown its crude knife with a great force!

A shield appeared out of nowhere and swiftly blocked the knife! Then deactivated again as the knife falls on the ground.

The hobgoblin keep on pouncing on the boy, and when it was nearing, it withdrew its fist backward, seemingly aiming for a punch!

It instantly throw a punch toward the boy and uses its skill 'low strength'! The hobgoblin overjoyed upon seeing it as it seems that the boy was clueless about its strength! Cause the boy was still smirking and looking at the hobgoblin with a calm look!

Soon, the punch hits something and a large high-pitched sound was heard! The hobgoblins step back due to the recoil and withdrew its fist as it hurts!

The hobgoblin take a look at what blocked its attack and as it take a glance, it saw a golden shield floating before the boy!

It got afraid as it thought of having its mightiest attack being blocked easily by the shield, so it immediately thought of running and was about to turn its back to the boy when suddenly, a dagger pierce its back!

The dagger penetrate deeply! And instantly killed the hobgoblin!

Soon, the boy starts to walked towards the dead hobgoblin and picked up the monsters core then absorbed it, and said...

" Thats the 51st E-rank core! "

A later while, commander emerge from the trees behind the boy while smiling so widely!

" Thats great! You can now kill E-rank monster easily! I guess you now have a chance to passed the hunter exam! ", commander said feeling so proud

" Thank you for the one month you trained me commander, Ill be sure to find you a regeneration potion soon! ", the boy said full of vigor!

The commander got touched at the word of the boy, then addedd..

" You better pass the exam, Adam! "

" Yes! I will! " , Adam said, then starts walking down the mountain, 15 days had already passed and tommorrow was the day of his departure!

While walking down the mountain, Adam first checked his 'system' and look at his progress so far!
