Chapter 12 : Solo-raid

The hunter's agency are being manage by a certain man, who became the first S-rank hunter in the Philippines when the agency was build. He himself implemented the build of the agency with the helped of Pres. John Torres, he requested financial assistance from the government. The President likes him so he agreed on, when the President gave the word, he had a researcher invented a machine that measures people's capabilities and strength who wants to be a hunter.

He's been the chairman of the agency for 14 years, an average-size height, brown-skinned, mixed bland and white hair and hairy-looking man with great physique in his 40's. He's sitting at the back of his table with a pipe in his mouth, "Secretary Ma.Cristina Jean y Perez, have you receive the report on the mysterious door incident that had happened recently?" he asked as he blows the smoke out of his mouth. "Chairman Daniel! I said not to call me by my full name!" Cristina was carrying the papers about the incident, she put down the documents on Daniel's table, "Here it is, all of the reports about that incident are there" she said. Daniel had picked up a paper above all the other paper's and silently read it. "Did this hunter Leo take a re-evaluation?" Daniel said, he was patting the ashes off the pipe. "Nope, he just got discharge from hospital, should I personally escort him?" Cristina sat down on the chair in front of Daniel's table.

"Umm, no, there's no need. it seems that he's been told to take a re-evaluation. He'll take it himself" Daniel rubbed off the pipe at the ash tray. He re-arrange the papers placed it at the side corner of his table.

Leo just finished his dinner pair with a cold beer, the sun ray hitting his skin. It's a hot day, he closed the curtains to cover up the sunlight coming from the window then he went back to his seat. Leo open up the window, clicked the storage button then clicked the entry passed he received as a reward. [Entry Pass: C-Rank raid] (The player will spawn a gate using the entry pass. Once the player entered the gate, he can not abandon the raid unless , he has a 'save pass' a pass that let you leave, save your progress and can even continue whenever the player wants. But if the player decided to finish the raid and succeeded on doing so, after collecting all the rewards, the player will be cast out in a random place in his country.)

"I don't have a save stone, there's no turning if I'm gonna do this and I can't postpone this" Leo looked at his mission's timer [Mission expires in 23:20:47]. Leo made up his mind, he closed the window and step outside his house while the entry pass window is still open. [Do want to use this item? Yes/No] Leo was wearing his newly bought clothes except for the shoes, he smashed the yes button. A small black thing appear in thin air then it expanded to fit his height. 'Let's do it' he said to himself as he walked inside the gate. [C-rank gate successfully spawned]

The darkness swallowed Leo whole, he closed his eyes and the time he opened it, he was inside the gate. He was on a forest, the trees were tall, he couldn't see the top of it. He tried to hug it but his hands didn't reach each other because of it's thickness. 'This is new experience for me, I've never went on a forest' he took a straight path, the wind was blowing and the leaves rustling. 'I've never been on a parallel gate before but I've heard rumors that parallel gates transfer you to a different world and considered as A-rank gate maybe even S-rank' the window suddenly showed up, [This isn't a parallel gate, the player were transferred to a different.place but space and time were distorted, so even if there are people around the place you/they can't interfere with each other.]

Leo was totally dumbfounded because it's as if his thoughts were answered by the system. 'So you can hear me or something, if you can, let me ask you something' there was a really small word at the end of the message, 'note' was the written word. 'Don't BS me!'

The rustling of the dried leaves got louder and nearer as Leo continues walking. A mischievous, ugly, dwarflike creature of folklore showed up, 'Hobgoblins!'
