Hunter in Black

This is a world of combat and magic, where adventurers thrive, leveling up, and killing monsters for loots and glory. But that's not the story I'm here to tell. Decades have passed since All-father, the world's Creator, ended the ever catastrophic conflict between humans and dragons. Lives have fallen from both sides, leaving humanity only able to support their last haven, the capital city of Ratna Kingdom. And now that they're at their weakest, someone wanted to carve a tombstone for their grave. He was called the Pretender, a figure disguised as All-father himself. He travels through the continent with a quest to gather forces from those who fell victim to humanity's sins. If no one puts an end to this act, then catastrophe will surely come knocking on the kingdom's door. So a call was made to prevent this. A Veteran Hunter and his apprentice were dispatched to take down each of the leaders under the Pretender's influence. He himself was a mysterious one, dressed in black, hiding behind a bear mask. Not a lot was known about the Hunter, not his race, not his family, not his face. Though one thing is for sure, he's damn good at his job.

Blazing Breath

A scream broke, piercing the air with its screech and pressure. The knight comes running towards Staas, but with all the loud noises around him, the boy is still stricken in shock, unmoved while his whole body trembles in disbelief.

Suddenly the number of footsteps grow. There's another one that comes rushing towards him.

It was Gytha, and hastily she grabs the absently Staas pulling him away from the knight. But it's too late, she must use desperate means to protect the boy from that icy blade.

She turned his body, putting her between him and the knight, covering him as a shield from the incoming attack.

*Slash!*

And the knight strikes his sword, cutting deep into Gytha's back, leaving her immediately fainted from the tremendous pain he caused her.

The wounded girl brought Staas back to reality. Gytha's body limply fell into Staas' arms, with her back shredded like a giant cliff, and blood dripping profusely from it.

"Gytha…?"
