Raised deep in the mountains by a pack of wolves, she doesn't know how humans are supposed to act. Even though she's half-human, half wolf, she had long ago shed her human skin in favor of her wolf form. Then, everything changed.

After a week of walking, the wolves reach the headquarters of the rebellion. Situated in neutral territory between the Land of Fura, and the neighboring country, it is divided by a long stretch of mountains. 

"Wait, I heard there are dragons that live in these mountains and guard this territory." One of the wolves says.

"That's just a myth, but it does keep the humans away from this place." Hakan replies.

They make their way through the forest with Hakan leading the group. Many of the new wolves they freed, wonder how he knows where to go without a distinct path to follow. Before long, they reach a large chasm that runs straight through the mountain. Walls on both sides that stretch upward as far as the eye can see.

Fissures in the walls are everywhere, each one narrower than the chasm they are walking through. They all seem to go a lot deeper into the mountain, making it seem like it would be a maze if you wandered in too far. 

"How does something like this form?" Fenrir asks.

"From what I've heard from the dwarves that live here, something as big as splitting an entire mountain in half doesn't occur naturally."  Hakan says as he points at the walls. "If you look closely, you can see that the rock is smooth and almost looks like glass. No one knows for sure, but it seems like it was cut using magic."

"Something this big was made by humans?" One of the wolves says. 

"Maybe, maybe not. Recently, more evidence indicates that magic beasts roamed uninhabited places like this far longer than we thought. Probably brought here accidentally by the ones who made the magical artifacts long ago." 

"It's hard to imagine something was strong enough to cut a fucking mountain in half." 

"I'm not an expert on rock formations. I'm just relaying information that I've been told." 

Hakan leads them into one of the fissures, and they eventually come across a large structure chiseled into the face of the wall. Two dwarf guards are standing by the entrance, their short stature makes them look less dangerous than they actually are. As they approach, one of the guards clears their throat and speaks. "I see that you brought more refugees Hakan, I take it that you informed them of their duties for staying here." 

"Actually, I didn't tell them yet." Hakan replies. 

"How many times do we have to tell you? You can't just do whatever you want here, there are rules. So before I let any of them in, we have to go over the rules." The dwarf stares at the newcomers while stroking his long beard. "First of all, there is no fighting allowed inside. This is a safe haven for all magical beasts as well as humans who want to trade with us. Second, if you plan to stay here for long periods of time, then you need to contribute to earn your keep. And third, this is more of a warning than a rule, don't drink too much dwarven ale, it's much stronger than the alcohol beverages humans make."

"A safe haven, you told us that this was your headquarters." One of the wolves says. 

"Well, our headquarters is inside. No humans will bother us here, the dwarves will make sure of that." Hakan says. "With that being said. Since we are staying here, we have to help them keep order within. That also includes helping fight battles. They help us, so we help them." 

"Won't the humans try to retaliate if they find out that we are bringing freed wolves here?" Fenrir asks. 

"Unlikely." The dwarf answers."This is neutral territory, and it's home to the largest trading center next to the capital. The humans buy many rare metals here that they can't mine themselves.   If they attack us, their supply would be cut short. But if they did attack, we have an army to defend this place. Why do you think we are taking all of you in?"

The other guard that has been quiet to this point now has fallen asleep and is snoring. He is only being held up by his sword that is now digging into the ground. "Hey wake up, I told you not to fall asleep." 

He wakes up in a confused state. "Oh, what? I guess I must have dozed off again. I haven't had my morning ale to keep me going through the day."

Fenrir is trying to figure out how drinking would keep a dwarf awake. But before he can come up with an answer, they are lead inside the stronghold. Once inside, the group is met with an array of dwarves all hammering metal into the forms they desire. The long hallway is in the shape of a perfectly symmetrical trapezoid, this design provides some stability to the hollowed-out section. On the ceiling, orbs of light are used to illuminate the cave using a form of magic. 

"This is one of the many back doors into the stronghold, once we get to headquarters, I'll show you the entrance we normally use." Hakan says.

As they continue further into the cave, they come across a large cavern. However, unlike the rest of the cave they have seen, this part is lined with smooth cut stone. Corridors surround the cavern, leading in different directions. The cavern looks like a lounge for wolves to hang out and relax, and that's exactly what many wolves who are already here are doing. 

"This is the lounge area, down these many halls are the sleeping quarters." Nia says as she steps in front of the group to address them. "Before we go any further I will need to write down all of your names." 

Nia goes up to each wolf asking for their name and writing it down on a piece of paper. All except for Fenrir who she already met. "Alright follow me." Says Nia. 

She leads the group down one of the many hallways, Hakan follows behind the group. She stops at a door, opens it and motions to the rest to enter. The room is filled with chairs surrounding a large round table. Skoll sits next to  Lokota on the other side of the room. 

Fenrir starts to get nervous, his heart starts racing at the chance that Skoll will recognize him after all these years. Lokota stands up and addresses the new wolves. 

"First of all I want to welcome all of our new recruits. Of course, it is your choice if you wish to join us or not. We are looking for strong soldiers to join our cause by helping to free our species. That being said, I want to see how strong each and every one of you are. So starting tomorrow morning, we are going to have a sparring match. That is all, dismissed." 

As the wolves leave to the room, Nia apologizes for Lokota's militaristic speech. "I'm sorry, he's just used to addressing new recruits like that back in his army days. He is usually more friendly when he gets to know you." 

The door opens, Lokota walks over whispers into Nia's ear and walks back into the room. "Fenrir, it seems like they want to talk to you" Nia says. 

Fenrir's heart starts beating faster. 'Shit, I should have known it was a long shot to expect Skoll not to recognize me. Well, it's time to get this over with.' 

Fenrir follows Nia into the room, Lokota and Skoll are both standing on the other side of the room. Skoll is the first to speak. "Tell me Fenrir, what happened to Luna?"

- Yamisen •••

We left the city in the morning and go to the northeast forest. Our mission today is to subjugate at least 20 monsters of any kind. I told the girls about the reason why such request was put up by the guild. It was to reduce the chance of over population of monsters and to make sure the monster will not attack the city once they grow too much in numbers. Some monsters are quick to breed after all.
"I see. So any monsters is fine for the request, right?"
"Yes. And we can collect useful materials from the monsters so we can get more reward. This is the most taken request in Mellian City. We might even met another party who took the same request. So make sure that we won't meet any of them in case they accused us of taking their prey."
I answered Angela and told her to get away from other parties. Most hunters are selfish people like that. If they accused us, it might end up in a fight.
The guild doesn't care if we kill each other as long as it's not inside the guild. If other party decided to pick a fight with me, I will kill them if possible. But if I do that, even if the guild act like they don't care, there will still be rumor because we took the same mission. That's why I told the girls to change spot if we met other party. Even if they didn't pick the same mission.
On the way to the forest, we saw other parties also getting in the forest. So we go deeper where no one dares to approach. It was also to see if the monster I need to defeat to get a special ability is there.
We haven't entered the forest deep enough that we still met other party fighting monsters. Each time we met other parties, we would just ignore them and continued walking deeper. Some even tried to stop us to get deeper in the forest but we ignore them. There are still good hunters out here.
Finally we're in an area where we don't see any people. I also can't sense other people than us here. Maybe it's because the level of monsters here are much higher than other area.
"Let's start from here. There's no more people around us so we can fight as much as we like."
"As much as we like... but the monsters here in the deeper area of the forest are stronger than before. How can we fight as we like?"
"Not all monsters here is too strong for us. For example those wolves that have been following us for a while. You two can take them on. There's only five of them. Which means we need fifteen more to complete our mission."
"Wait. I'll do it alone. I also want to test my own firepower. I know that Angela has much stronger firepower and that makes her the main attacker when it's just the two of us. But I also want to see my own strength. There's also something I want to try."
It was Kayla who said that. She also shows her desire to get stronger. She must be worried if she ended up on her own since she rarely shows her power. Usually she would just use Earth Wall to protect us, Blinding Light to blind the enemies, and healing magic.
Although all of Kayla��s element only have few attacking spell, she wanted to fight the wolves on her own. It's praiseworthy. Maybe she has some sort of enlightenment in using her elements. Instead of using magic that was taught at school, she may be forming some sort of magic only for her.
"Alright. Do your best!"
"Okay!"
Kayla moved toward where the wolves are alone. I'm curious of her plan.
"You sure she's okay on her own?"
"Let her do what she wants. Even if there's a danger, we can help her then. But with her confidence, I don't think we're needed."
Angela seems worried of Kayla. Well, they are best friends after all. I've always see them together ever since they met. Never once I have seen them going alone somewhere. I know that they must have separate at some point, but I just never saw them going their own way.
"Hmm? She stopped? Does she want to kill the wolves with trap?"
Kayla stopped even though there are still some distance from the wolves. What will she do?
Kayla put both her hands on the ground. And that's when the wolves think of her as an easy prey. Two of the wolves charged toward her. But Kayla is one step ahead of them. She made spikes grown from earth and stabbed the two wolves. She makes it seems easy.
Now there's only three wolves left. They are now wary of her magic. Three on one might be a bit difficult for the current Kayla. But this is still an important experience.
The three wolves are wary of her and watching from a bit distance. The distance where they think it's safe from Kayla. But they were wrong. Kayla still crouching down with both hands on the ground and used the same magic again. But this time the location of where the spikes appear is not around her. They're right under the wolves!
Again, two wolves down. Kayla used strategy instead of raw firepower to defeat four wolves. First she made them think that spikes only grow within her vicinity, then when they took a distance, she will raised another spikes from below the wolves.
According to what the school taught, earth magic 'Ground Spike' can only protrude within one meter of the caster if they're still a beginner level. But for Kayla to do what only advanced level mage can do, must take her a great concentration to succeed. And also high quantity of her magic is used. She's already tired now.
"Kayla!"
"Wait! She's still not done yet!"
"No! Her magic is depleted with her last attack! We have to help her!"
"If we do that, she might end up hating us forever. Look at her! Is that the look of someone who's about to give up?"
I pointed at Kayla to make Angela calm down. Kayla still looked as if she still has some trick under her sleeve. She doesn't have any look of resignation on her face at all. In fact her face is brimming with confidence.
Then the last wolf move forward. This one must be the leader of the pack. And he's angry of how his kin are killed. But since he can see that Kayla is exhausted, he didn't step back and escape.
And Kayla stood up. She grabbed one earth spike that's still protruding in front of her which is from the first magic she used. Then she pluck it off the ground and making a stance as if she's using a spear.
"Oh! She's copying me! She's trying to use a spear! This must be what she wants to try! She must have wanted to be a one on one battle and that's why she's killing the first four so she can practice her melee fight with the last one!"
If she can use spear or other melee weapons, she can cover her weakness of lacking offensive magic with her close combat. Although she can't fight in a long range, it's still better than nothing.
Both of us were looking at how she fights. Although the wolf scratch her few times, she still fight. She used a tiny bit of her magic left to cast healing magic on herself. That's how she can fight this long even though she's just an amateur in melee battle. And more importantly… looks like spear is not a good choice of weapon for her. The length is the same as my spear. That must be the reason. And so I gave her an advice.
"Too long!"
It sounded like I was complaining about how the fight took a long time. But it's to tell Kayla that the weapon of her choice is not suitable for her because it was too long.
It took her a while to realize my intention and she broke the spear in half. Now the spike in her hand is held only with one hand and her movement is much swifter than before.
"Hmm… Rapier suit her better than a spear. I thought it would be a short spear but rapier is a better choice for her."
Seeing how she also slashed using the spike and how she's holding it on one end, not the middle part, she's better in using a rapier. Maybe a sword will do. But she's more inclined in thrusting attack. Which makes rapier is better choice.
"Now is the finishing move."
I commented as I watched her fight.
Kayla pulled the spike back and when the wolf charged toward her, she thrust the spike forward and it pierced the wolf's neck. Her target must be its head but she missed due to lack of proper training. That can be taken care of later when I train her.
Then Kayla dropped to the ground due to exhaustion and Angela run toward Kayla. I also approach her and I didn't forget to give her compliment.
"Kayla. You did great. Using weapon to cover for your lack of offensive magic is amazing. And seems like you have affinity with rapier. I'll teach you later so you can rest for now. Don't worry about the mission. I can fight while carrying you on my back after all."
"No. as for the rest fifteen, I'll try to fight them on my own. Roy will carry Kayla and do not fight with her on your back!"
That's much better actually. Now I can just watch Angela from the sideline and let her finish the mission without me doing anything but carrying Kayla. Kayla and I will only watch from now.
"But if the monster is too powerful, I'll join the fight, okay?"
And so, we continued searching for the next monsters.

Roy died during a war against the Evil God Cult, but somehow, he returned back in time to 30 years in the past where he was just a boy who awaken his summoning magic. 
Just a few days before his death, he became the only Aura user in a world of magic. 
Using his knowledge and experience, he will become an Aura user again, faster than his previous life. 
Accompanied with a shape-shifting black slime, he will make sure to protect everyone he cares about and win against the Evil God Cult.

After saying that to motivate himself, he then made his way towards a bunch of wolves as he gripped tightly on his silver wolf fang. Unfortunately for him, just as he was about to enter the radius at which he would attract the aggro of the wolves, John pulled him back before he could enter, leaving Jean with a slightly confused expression on his face.
With his father's hand tightly gripping on his chestplate, he could not help but look back and ask, "Dad, why are you stopping me? When grinding rare materials with a party, isn't there a member in the party that would attract the aggro of the Stray Bit that they want to hunt, accumulate a great number of them behind the one attracting the aggro before bursting them down to death with tons of damage?"
"Normally, that would be the case." John nodded to his son's explanation of how a party worked since that was how it normally operated. But before Jean was about to say why his father barred him from attracting the aggro of the wolves, John then said, "But remember that you have two peak level Cleaners with you, not two Cleaners at around the same level as you. We could even attract the aggro of hundreds of wolves and still come out unscathed."
"Now, at your current level, do you think you can do that?" John continued, to which Jean replied with a slightly disappointed expression, "I just wanted to help though…"
Hearing his son's reply, John had a light smile on his face as he replied, "Leave it to us two for now. Your main stage will be the fight against the Wolf King."
Noticing a determined expression on his father's face, Jean decided that he could not persuade his way to helping out his parents, so he stepped back, allowing John to replace his place as the one that attracted the aggro. Jean made his way towards his mother, who currently had a spellbook hovering in front of her.
Nonetheless, this did not stop her from noticing Jean coming closer to her, saying, "Did your dad tell you to step back?"
"Yeah." Jean nodded. "Is there any reason to it?"
"Tons." Jane had an excited smile on her face as she responded. She then raised her staff before channeling the mana in her body towards the tip of her staff. While doing so, she told her son, "Look at what your dad is going to do."
Whoosh! Whoosh!
At this moment, John had his eyes closed as he felt the wind blowing through his armor, which was quite chilly since it was night. Nonetheless, he brushed off this cold wind like it was nothing, sensing the distance of the wolves in the area relative to where he was. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes and grabbed the silver axe on his back with one hand.
Thud!
With a decently loud thud, the blade of the axe fell on the ground due to the weight, even attracting the attention of a few wolves. But after they noticed that the sound came from an area that was outside their territory, the wolves did not mind it and continued on with what they were doing.
Until a loud shout broke that.
"Mass Aggravation!��� John shouted all of a sudden, radiating a red aura that enveloped his body. Not long after, this red aura expanded to a great radius, enveloping almost all of the wolves that could be seen from his field of vision. At the very instant this red aura enveloped the wolves, it seemed that their usual rational and logical personalities had been swapped with that of a senseless and berserk creature, looking at the origin of the red aura as they growled loudly.
While this was happening, Jean, who was outside the area of this red aura, could not help but have his mouth agape as he muttered, "So that's why dad told me to step back? It was because he had a skill that could attract the aggro of a lot of Stray Bits?"
At this point, Jean could not help but wonder as to where he could obtain skills and act like his father. He decided to look at his mother, who was beside him, who was actually looking at him with a smile on her face as she said, "It seems you wanna know where to obtain skills. Did your father��s skill activation make you motivated to get skills?"
"Well, yeah," Jean replied in a straightforward manner before asking, "Could you tell me where to get them, mom?"
"Hmm…" Sensing that a lot of the mana in her body has now made their way towards the tip of the staff she was holding up, Jane decided to answer Jean's question, smiling as she replied, "Sure, why not? You'll get skills eventually, but there are still skills you can get outside the normal method."
"Anyways, skills are split into three types: Class Skills, Status Skills, and General Skills," Jane started to explain as the tip of the staff she was holding took on a faint shade of red. "Class Skills are skills you could obtain from your class once you reach a certain level. At most, you could obtain around 6 skills from your class. The skill you get from the first time you enter the World Net is considered a Class Skill as well."
Whoosh! Whoosh!
At this time, the intensity of the red on the tip of Jane's staff had increased, even forming a whirlpool that seemed to absorb the energy in the surroundings. While listening to his mother's explanation regarding skills, he could not help but notice this, asking, "What's happening to your staff, mom?"
"I'm just charging up a pretty strong spell," Jane replied to his son's question. "Oh, right. Spells aren't considered as skills, but us Mages can only have 5 spells at most alongside our skills, which are all support skills. Not to mention, those spells should be appropriate for any situation that may come our way."
"After Class Skills are Status Skills. These are skills that you can obtain once you reach a certain value for a certain stat. The type of skills you could obtain from your stats can range from active skills, to passive skills, and even ultimate skills. Take for example a Status Skill I have named [Greater Mana Affinity]. I gained that after I had 100 points in the Intelligence stat, reducing the amount of MP I need for a spell, as well as increasing the damage output of the spell."
Just as Jane was about to explain the third type of skill, a boisterous laugh could be heard coming from far away, prompting the two to look at where the sound was coming from, only to find out that it was coming from John. At this moment, around a hundred wolves were already circling around him, wanting to take a bite at his body. Unfortunately for them, due to John being used to situations like these where he had to attract the aggro of a lot of wolves, he had a lot of ways to avoid the multiple attacks of wolves. There were even times where he would go ahead and hit a few wolves with a swing of his axe, reducing the amount of health they had in order for Jane's spell to deal more damage.
Indeed, Jane and John were a duo, with John being the one who attracted aggro, and Jane being the one who dealt all the damage. At this moment, they were doing the same thing in front of their son, allowing their son to see the prowess of his parents.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Right now, the whirlpool on top of Jane's staff had expanded in radius by quite a large size, its shade now becoming crimson due to the amount of energy it had amassed. Nevertheless, Jane knew that it could go even further, taking note of the spell's progress as she looked at her son and continued explaining.
"Last but not least are the General Skills. These are skills you could obtain from the NPCs in the cities. From the name alone, these are skills that can be used by any class. In exchange, the effect they bring is less potent when compared to Class Skills or Status Skills. That does not mean there are no strong General Skills out there though, but you'd have to pay a lot of Bits to obtain them. Other than that, you can only have a maximum of 3 General Skills equipped."
"And that's all," Jane looked at the whirlpool on top of her staff and noticed that a smaller whirlpool had formed over the large whirlpool, taking on a crimson color as well. Noticing this, she thought to herself that she could spare a bit more time to talk with her son, saying, "If you want, we could go and buy a few General Skills after we kill the Wolf King."
"I would love that, mom." In response, Jean had a smile on his face before he proceeded to look at his father. At this moment, a few hundred wolves had already surrounded John, with his body appearing here and unscathed. It seemed that this was just child's play for him, making Jean look at his father in a new light.
Fwoosh!
Not long after, he heard a loud sound resound from over his mother's head, prompting him to look at where it came from. Once he turned his head to look at what made that loud sound, he saw two crimson whirlpools on top of one another, radiating an energy that seemed like it would be able to ignite anything that came across its path. He then looked at the face of his mother, which had a slightly excited expression on it.
"John, my spell's ready! Get out of the way!" Since the spell was now fully formed, Jane started waving the staff she held in circles, adding momentum to the spell she had conjured. She then shouted to obtain John's attention, to which John replied, "Alright! Make sure to get each and every wolf in your spell!"
Whoosh!
At the very moment John had gotten out of the encirclement filled to the brim with wolves, Jane waved her staff forwards, sending the crimson whirlpools flying towards the wolves as she shouted, "Ardent Field!"
Shhhhh!
In an instant, the two crimson whirlpools expanded at a visible rate, enveloping all of the wolves John had aggravated in what seemed to be a field of flames. Not only that, a field of flames also appeared above them, seemingly burning them with fire from top and bottom.
"Awooo! Awooooo!" Thanks to this spell, all of the wolves could not help but howl in pain, turning into a crisp in a matter of seconds. Not long after, these bodies that looked like roasted wolves gradually transformed into ones and zeroes as the spell Jane sent out gradually dissipated as well.
"Tsss…" Jean could not help but suck in a bit of cold air as he looked at the amount of destruction a single spell conjured by his mother could do. He could not help but mutter to himself, "I took around 5 hours to kill over 500 wolves, but they only took like a minute or so for them to do the same thing…"
At this moment, he now realized how strong peak level Cleaners are. Not only that, it gave him more motivation to reach the same level of strength, and possibly even surpass it. Nonetheless, although he now knew how capable peak level Cleaners were, he still did not have any clue as to what level would one be to be considered a peak level Cleaner.
With that question in mind, he looked at his mother, as well as his father, who was getting closer to them, and asked, "Mom, dad, being a peak level Cleaner means you two have reached the maximum level, right?"
"Mhm." John and Jane responded to their son's question simultaneously. Not long after, John then asked, "What about it?"
"What's the maximum level a Cleaner can reach?" Jean questioned them, to which their parents noticed the glint of determination in their son's eyes, making them look at each other with a light smile. Soon after, Jane responded to his son's question, saying, "The maximum level is 100. I'm pretty sure the same goes for the Devourer rank as well."
"Level 100…" Although he was quite confident that he would eventually reach this level, he could not help but wonder as to how long of a time he'd take to reach it, seeing as the amount of experience needed for a single level greatly increased every time. Nonetheless, he knew that by reaching this level of power, their family would be able to amass more Bits, allowing them to live more relaxed lives.
Whoosh!
Just as he was about to ask questions regarding methods on how to obtain experience faster, a holographic screen appeared in front of the three, telling them of the rewards they had received from killing a lot of wolves.
'The party has obtained 11,880 XP. This experience has been equally distributed among the party members.'
'Congratulations! Tenebris has reached Level 9!'
'The party has obtained 6 [Wolf Fur].'
'The party has obtained 3 [Wolf Spine Ring].'
'The party has obtained 1 [Sharpened Wolf Fang].'
'The party has obtained 2 [Magic Infused Wolf Bone].'
'…'
The three of them had obtained a lot of equipment, as well as experience from this single bout since they killed a lot of wolves, but the one who gained the most from this was none other than Jean. He had obtained enough experience to increase his level by one level, obtained more than enough Wolf Fur to finish upgrading all of his equipment to Starter+ grade, as well as obtained the remaining rings he needed to fill his ring slots to the maximum.
Although John and Jane had reached already the maximum level for a long time already, the two of them could not help but be happy that their son had gotten a bit stronger, with John telling his son, who was currently looking at the rewards in a slight daze, "What are you waiting for? You leveled up, you even got enough Wolf Fur to enhance your equipment. Are you going to make us two wait for a long time before we fight against the Wolf King?"
"Ah!" John's words snapped Jean back to reality, prompting him to close the holographic screen in front of him before starting to dash towards the outside of the Azure Forest. "I'll only take a while to allocate stats, so please wait for me."
Whoosh!
And just like that, Jean was gone, leaving the two alone for themselves. They could not help but look at each other with a smile, both of their minds occupied with the prowess Jean has shown before they went ahead and killed all of those wolves.
"It seems we've given birth to a good son," John said to Jane.
Jane lightly chuckled as she said, "He'll surely become someone great in the World Net someday. I'm sure of it."

Jean Darke was born at the Age of Unity, an era where anything and everything could be obtained through the World Net. Money, power, and even authority, it was all possible through the World Net. With that in mind, by the time he turned 17 years old, it was a given that he accepted his father’s offer to become a User, in other words, a citizen of the World Net. Since he was brought up with the idea that the World Net would allow their family to live better lives, he would do his best to try and make that happen.

Unfortunately for him, it was only after he entered the World Net did he realize that his dreams seemed to be near impossible to achieve, due to the World Net actually being a world filled to the brim with corruption. It was then and there that his great dreams dissipated in a matter of moments, changing his great dreams to a dream where he wanted his family’s burden to be alleviated just by a bit.

Thankfully, the world was not all that bad, allowing Jean to obtain an item within the World Net that could possibly change the whole landscape of the World Net itself. It was also thanks to this item that his great dreams were rekindled and soared to a height that went even further, a dream where he wished to establish a place in the World Net free from corruption.

And so, let us witness his journey in becoming a great entity in the landscape of the World Net, as well as his establishment of the Den of Freedom.

I was now alert about my surroundings.
I stopped jumping around like a crazy monkey as before instead now I was quite sneaky. I had to check my surroundings before leaping on to another tree without making any noise.
A few moments ago two to three wolves just went past by, in a hurry towards the rocky waterfall cliff. Thankfully it didn't notice me. This fruit paste and soil rubbed over my body worked wonders. Although, it's a bit itchy but still bearable.
I must be just a dozen of meters away until I reach the edge of the waterfall riverbank. The loud sounds of the aggressive wolves howling and screaming accompanied by explosions of various spells being used can be heard loud and clearly. With the battle screams of wolves and mages, there was also the sound of a waterfall down from the cliff but this sound again would be suppressed by the sounds of the fierce battle.
It wasn't until few minutes of sneaky and cautious approach that I reached near the edge of the riverbank and hid amidst the lush green leaves of a tree.
It was then the scene of the intense battlefield came into view.
The vast river bank had vast rocky floors spread long and wide. There were just small patches of bushes, no trees around the 200-meter radius of around the stream was flowing.
Behind in the background, there were wide walls of tall rocky cliffs dividing the two grounds. In the center of the cliff, there was a fierce stream of water gushing down like a serpent and crashing down on a wide pool created from the natural erosion from the waterfall.
*Boom*
Just when a bright flash appeared in the corner of my eyes.
I glanced in the direction to find a young boy about 12-13 years old with red fiery spiky hair standing all alone near the riverbank. From the palm of his hands smoke was rising and didn't seem to bother him much. He was dressed wore a bright red jacket and a pair of black shorts.
To my surprise, he was surrounded by an army of wolves in a circle. Everyone glaring at him and growling fiercely as if they had long enmity since birth. There should be at least hundreds of wolves surrounding him from everywhere. Many of them looked injured and some had burnt skins yet they looked more ferocious.
There were a lot of charred corpses of wolves laying on the sidelines. Some corpses missing bodies and guts laying everywhere, there were also corpses burned to cinders. No wonder the air smells so repugnant.
Although more wolves would appear from the forest and join the encirclement to kill the red-haired brat.
Despite such a horrendous situation, the red-haired brat still had a brazen smile reaching the corner of his eyes.
"Hehe! Is that all you got! You are no wolves just a bunch of incompetent mutts." he then slammed his fist in his palms. As soon as his fist meet his palm there were sparks of fire.
"Come on, I can do this all day long," he screamed.
The wolves despite not understanding human language, the taunts from red hair brat irked them.
Soon some of the wolves, first in line charged fiercely.
These wolves were the injured ones among the pack.
The red-haired brat was also quite skilled and his eyes scanned the approaching wolves.
He quickly stretched his both arms and suddenly there were bright flames appearing on the top of his hands. He then waved his arms in a circular manner creating a ring of fire blasting towards the approaching wolves, 
"Some roast wolves coming up."
The fire blast was quite fierce that even I could feel the heat standing here so far away.
The wolves that attacked the red-haired brat were burned to a crisp. No one survived his flames.
"This guy must be the so-called wizard," I said to myself.
In the books, I read about mana there were people called wizards. They are said to be the best mages in manipulating mana than your average mages.
Normally when a mage who has to use mana needs to rely on a magic circle embedded with runes. Mages would inscribe these circles beforehand on their weapons or other stuff as a medium. A veteran mage can draw a magic circle in the air and then cast spells. For example, how Metrina had cast that healing spell.
But there are some people who can manifest mana at will. They can draw mana just from their bare skin. They don't need to rely on magic circles to cast spells. They are the ones entitled with the title of 'Wizards'.
Wizards are quite powerful and even revered as people blessed by mana but the existence of such people is very rare. Most of the existing Wizards are nobility coming from big backgrounds.
The red-haired brat clearly wasn't wearing any types of equipment on his hands nor there was any magic circle when he used to create flames. I clearly saw bright red flames appearing on the palm of his bare hands. If this guy isn't Wizard then I don't know what he is.
He was so young about a 13-year-old wizard who had manifested mana core not too long ago. Still able to show such firepower and skills as a veteran mage. No wonder he was so brave in front of the army of the gray wolves.
Although the other wolves who had encircled the brat were unharmed. They maintained enough distance to not get attacked by the red-haired brat's flames. They only kept growling and barking at him.
Some wolves would try to attack from time to time but would get burned down to cinders. He still kept on taunting the wolves with a lunatic smile.
I kept watching in distance without moving.
More wolves poured in from the forest joining the encirclement. There don't seem the wolves would stop coming anytime soon.
Some time passed and the red-haired wizard stood his ground burning wolves to a crisp. 
This time he used his flames as usual but his feet suddenly started to become wobbly. His eyes flickered as if he felt dizzy.
That fool must have depleted his mana reserves!
Fighting such a big army of wolves all alone. Even if he's a wizard that doesn't mean he can fight all the wolves till the last one of them. What was that fool even thinking?
Seeing this wolves quickly sensed something was off and this time they all attacked at the same time.
The red-haired brat's eyes were closed and his legs were wobbly. It looked as if he was sleepwalking. He wasn't even aware of the approaching wolves.
Metrina and Halberd would still take some time to come to his aid. He won't be able to survive until then.
Just when…
"Oi brat, wakey-wakey" suddenly a female voice echoed.
Out of nowhere shards of ice-long icicles rained on the approaching wolves. The icicle shards were long and thin as a normal arrow but more deadly. These icicle shards pierced through the wolves' vital points like pin cushions.
But after getting impaled with these ice arrows there was a chilling effect that would freeze nearby flesh of the wolves. Most of the wolves died on spot and many who were injured wolves' speed and mobility greatly reduced.
Hearing the female voice, the red hair brat finally came to his senses.
He first glanced at his situation and saw the wolves impaled with ice arrows. His smile disappeared and looked quite upset,
"You lowly dogs, I will blast you all to hell."
Suddenly his body burst into big flames burning any wolves approaching him.
The remaining wolves had no choice to back off.
The body on his flames lasted for few seconds and disappeared.
Red-hair brat glared at the wolves angrily.
He stretched his hand, his palm facing toward the wolves horizontally.
Suddenly there was a fire floating in front of his palm which started to shrink to a size of a small orb. Even if the red orb looked small it was glowing brightly and getting brighter by the second.
With other free hands, he creates a fist engulfed in a fire.
"Eat this!" he then punched his flame fist on the back of his hand which had the orb, "Layrion's flame gun!"
As soon as his fiery fist came in contact with his other hand, the flames from his fist transferred to the orb and shot towards the wolves. The orb was shot like lightning and hit in the middle of the wolves. In an instant, the orb grew in size in impact and exploded.
All the wolves in the center were blasted to tiny meat fragments and the other wolf were blasted away like rag sacks. Everyone caught in the explosion died or fatally wounded.
Suddenly there was a wide hole in the encirclement.
The remaining wolves backed away in fear.
The red-hair brat grin then disappeared and then turned his head in a certain direction.
"Hey, Artecia! Could you stop calling me brat already? The name's Belmethor Inyake Radiz. If the names too long you can just call me Bel. I will allow you to call me so." he then folded his arms, "I don't owe you any thanks. I could easily handle these mutts."
So the red-haired brat called himself Bel. From the arrogant tone he's using, he's definitely one of those nobles, no doubt.
"Nah, 'brat' will do fine." the female voice responded.
That's when I saw a girl in a distance sitting on a tree leisurely holding a bow. She had beautiful long white hair and enchanting emerald blue eyes. She was dressed in a beautiful green top and shorts which made almost camouflaged between the trees.
Just when I spot something, her ears. She had long pointy ears poking out of her long white hair. She's from the elf race.
According to Bel, the elf girl's name was Artecia. From the way she was holding on to the bow, she must be the one who launched those icicle arrows.
She sat back on the tree branch leisurely and let her long legs just hanging around. It looked like she was here to just enjoy the breeze.
"Well, being a noble fire wizard and you can't even climb a tree? Are you sure you're up to becoming an adventurer?" she asked with a sneer.
Bel's face turned red with embarrassment,
"Hey! I can climb a mere tree with ease. I just happen to be in a mood to hunt some wolves that's all."
From the way his face turned red, it seems the girl was speaking the truth.
What the hell!
A fierce noble fire wizard and can't climb a mere tree. Anyone who hears this could laugh it off. No wonder his pride would allow him to admit it.
"I can help you climb up a tree if you want," said Artecia with an innocent smile.
Bel gritted his teeth and launched a flame spell at a nearby wolf that tried to attack,
"Radiz family never take favors from others. I am fine, you needn't worry about me."
Saying so Bel took out a vile of potion from his pocket and drank its contents in a gulp.
Suddenly there was a glow in his body and his tired complexion turned rosy.
That must be some kind of mana potion.
Potions are quite rare and expensive brewed by witches. They come in very handy during dire situations like this and give mages the explosive power to overcome hard situations. Such potions have saved a lot of mages countless times.
Bel seems to come from nobility so he should definitely have some potions on him. It's so nice to have such strong background. Although heavily relying on magic potions and magic capsules would also weaken the foundation of a mage. Hence mage's must restrain the usage of such things only if necessary."
"Suit yourself," Artecia replied.
After saying so, she just lied her back on the tree trunk. She hugged her bow and closed her eyes as if she was taking a nap.
Bel again focused his attention on the wolves and attacked them fiercely.
After killing more than more dozens of the wolves he started sweating a lot,
"Hey, where's Razor? How long are we gonna sit here!"
Artecia just shrugged her shoulder and didn't even bother to open her eyes.
For some reason, the wolves weren't approaching her. It was as if she was invisible to the gray wolves.
"The Leader's here." suddenly another voice echoed, "Get ready."
That's when I turned my head to look in the direction of this sound.
There was another guy on a nearby tree. He was sitting on the tallest tree around the area and had climbed all the way to the top. From the looks of it, he must be another one of their comrades. If hadn't shouted I wouldn't even notice.
This new comrade was wearing a weird bandana on his head and wore a purple pair of pants and a shirt. Sitting on the top of a tall tree's topmost branch. I couldn't see his face sadly. And the way he was facing, he was looking in a certain direction.
After hearing the man Artecia opened her eyes and held her bow. In an instant, an ice arrow appeared on top of the bowstring in thin air.
"Finally some real action! He took his sweet time to get here. I was almost about to fall asleep from boredom." said Bel arrogantly with a wide smile.
"Or from mana exhaustion," added Artecia with a mocking expression.
"Huh! Stop talking nonsense. I have more than enough mana for the likes of these little pups."
Suddenly loud rumbling came from the direction the man was looking.
*Awwooooo*
A loud howling thundered from the direction the man was looking at.
The sound was so loud that even my eardrums started to go numb. I had to block my ears with my hands to ease the pain.
Just when there was white light flying in the sky like a meteor heading towards the cliff waterfall.
As soon as it reached the battlefield it changed its trajectory and crash-landed in the army of the wolves.
The white light dissipated and a man was revealed standing there. He looked like a middle-aged man, in his 30's with long grey hair reaching to his shoulders. He was wearing light metallic armor covering his torso and legs. There was a long green cape hanging on his back fluttering in the air. In his hand, he held a thin sword with a beautiful curve handle.
The wolves were dumbfounded looking at the guy vigilantly.
For some reason, they didn't attack and backed away shivering in fear.
"Oh, what a group little Bel has gathered to welcome my return. I am flattered," he said and then gently swung his sword in an arc.
In an instant, the wolves in the vicinity were cut in half, and blood splatter all over the place. Blood and guts of the wolves stained the river bank. Not even I could see how his attack struck the wolves in the first place.
Bel rushed to this man and patted his shoulder,
"Razor! It's good to see you back in one piece. So did your so-called plan work?" asked with a bright smile.
Razor let out a sigh,
"Don't worry-"
*Awoooo*
A loud deafening wolf howl again echoed throughout the woods. This time it was louder and closer than before. Cold sweat appeared on my brows. There was strong bloodlust coming from that scream. That grey wolf must be the leader of this group of grey wolves.
Razor glanced in the direction,
"Well, I nearly died confronting that thing. Hope you guys are ready- wait" he glanced around, "Where's Halberd and Metrina?"
Bel just scratched his head,
"They are on their way here. Don't worry."
Hearing this Razor frowned hearing.
"We will need big guy's earth support magic to take down that ruler class dire wolf." he then swung his sword and butchered more wolves, "Hope we survive until he returns."

The Demon Overlord was assassinated by his own men during the celebration of his first wife’s pregnancy announcement. He was stabbed in the back with 12 divine holy weapons and was even made to watch his beloved wife being killed by the very demon generals who once served him.

Before his death, he cursed and promised to get revenge at any cost.

Later he reincarnates as a human to a couple of humble merchants with his previous memories intact. His parents later named him Benjamin.

Now Ben, who was once used to be an 800+-year-old Demon Overlord, has to learn the ways of the people who live in the mortal realm as a human.

Being a prodigy, he quickly adapts to the new realm. Later he learns that the most powerful people in this realm are those who can manipulate mana called Mages. Hence, he starts to train early as a kid to become one of them so that he could pursue his vengeance.

Although fate isn’t as kind as Benjamin has hoped, it will be.
The journey to vengeance is filled with lots of ups and downs, but it is surely going to be one hell of a ride.

Then we started walking through the forest in search of some animals for us to get the meat. Of course, we didn't get too close to the region where Sindy's old house was. We were too far away, so I guess I shouldn't even worry.
"What kind of animals are we going to hunt?" I asked Sindy since I didn't have much experience in hunting and I didn't know what kind of animals existed in this region, probably in how everywhere else in forests, there must be wolves, bears and the like.
Perhaps there are also wild boars? Well, I don't know much about the fauna of this world, so I won't be able to say precisely what we can find here, and I don't think we're going to encounter a dangerous monster I hope not.
"We can hunt wolves as they are in greater numbers here, and their meat is delicious." Sindy had a lot of experience eating animal meat around here, so the only thing I could do was to confine her words.
We started walking in part with more trees in the forest, and it was a more closed forest where we are more likely to have animals since they prefer to keep away from humans.
I thought they went after humans to kill, but Sindy said that they usually are quiet and do not go after humans. Often, it is the humans who go after them in search of their flesh, and they retaliate the attack.
'So humans are like that even in this world.' Although in my old world, humans were much worse, those humans were a plague in the world, and our race should have been extinct on that planet long ago.
I think I'm holding a grudge against my past, I don't think it's a good idea to think about things from the past and end up sad or end up being angry about certain things that happened in my past.
Sindy kept walking in front of me until I heard her words a little lower "Here are some, hide."
She said in a soft, low voice so as not to draw the wolves' attention so that they do not run away or attack us, and she has a lot of experience in hunting, well, she has lived in the forest for many years I think this is no surprise.
I hid behind Sindy, and then we continued walking slowly towards the wolf pack, it was a small pack, there were only four wolves in it.
Will we kill everyone? I don't think we need that much meat, and I believe that only one wolf will be enough for us to eat until we get to Sindy's house, which shouldn't be too far away now.
I was a little worried about this, so I decided to ask, "Sindy, will we kill all the wolves? I think only one will be enough."
She looked at me with a face of disbelief and then answered my question, "Look, if we kill only one of the wolves, the others will attack us, so it makes no difference that we kill only one and leave the others alive."
Until that makes sense since the wolves also have intelligence and consider themselves friends, so they will attack us if we kill one of their friends, so I think there is no way to kill just one.
##########
We kept waiting a while, and I didn't know why, if we attacked quickly they wouldn't have a chance to defend themselves, and I think we are much stronger than them, I don't think it's necessary to wait so long to attack them.
Sindy watched the wolves for a moment until certain words came out of her mouth "Get ready, I'll count to 3, after that we'll attack together, you can attack any way you want as long as you kill him, right?"
Of course, I'm going to kill them, it's an excellent time to test the cut of these daggers, I think they are very sharp, and it will be cool to cut monsters with them.
After that, Sindy started counting.
Three ~~
Two ~~
One ~~
When she got to 1, I started running towards the wolves, and I also started running along with her. We were very fast, and we arrived at the wolves' side in an instant, they didn't even have time to do anything.
I took my dagger from my right hand and put it around the neck of one of the wolves, the wolf's head flew off the body at the same time "This dagger is very powerful." It was the only thing I could think of at that moment.
After that I took my dagger from my left hand and stuck it in the middle of one of the wolves, it was much easier than I imagined, wolves are weak animals, I think I expected a lot from them.
When I looked at Sindy, she had already killed the other wolves, the two wolves were perfectly cut, and without the head, Sindy knows very well how to wield a sword.
After that we took the wolves' bodies and carried them to the wolves where our camp was set up, well, it was not a camp since there was nothing there, but it is a place that we are staying for now.
We need to clean these wolves to eat later, I don't know if it will be too much work because I never did it before, but I hope not.

The people that followed Leopard were envious of him. They were working normal tasks like cutting or simple labor but Leopard was the only one given a bow. Leopard loved the bow and would occasionally stroke it lovingly.
"Leopard you are now a captain with a bow too. Just look at what we're stuck with."
Said one of the men that followed Leopard to run from Cloud tribe. The men were being taught by the people of the Flying Eagle tribe on how to cut apart antelope's belly and how to hang it upside down to drain it of its blood although they were not doing a good job at following along.
"I dream of the day when I can get my own bow and would be able to hunt in the wild. Their bows are many times better than the one Wolf had and remember how the whole tribe was envious of him?"
Said another of the men who had followed Leopard.
As they were talking amongst each other, Edward had returned to the tribe and heard them talking.
"If you all work hard and prove yourself then it won't be long before each of you have your own bow and not only that but shoes and thick furs too."
"Really?" This time it was not those men but instead Leopard who replied.
In fact Leopard was worried that the people who followed him would not be trusted and only sidelined but he was joyous to hear that they would be given the chance to prove themselves.
"You are a captain and later these men who followed you to join us will follow you in hunting while you would be their captain. How can my hunting team not have bows?"
Edward asked back in response.
While Edward was busy talking with Leopard and his men, people who had gone to gather stones along with Edward started to return back to the tribe while carrying huge loads of stones. Even though the work was hard and tiring but everyone had a look of happiness on their faces. They all knew that they could not understand what the meaning of the work they were doing was but as long as it was something commanded by their leader then it was bound to be something great.
"Light leader, let me and my brothers also join the stone moving work. We have been given such delicious meat and everyone has been really good to us. Let us work too!"
Leopard spoke with a look of admiration on his face. He knew the real potential of Edward and also knew that he had to work hard and make a place for himself instead of lazing around.
Leopard knew that as long as others understood the real value of Flying Eagle tribe, they too would never leave this tribe so Leopard had to make his position strong before more people joined the tribe.
"Don't worry, it's all good. Most of the work has been done for now. Stay here and rest after which you would be given bows to practice and learn with." Edward spoke while patting Leopard's shoulder.
Leopard shook his head and groaned, seemingly wanting to say something but unable to. Edward noticed it clearly and so said:
"There are some extra meat we have so if anyone of you want to leave then we can gift them to you and won't stop you from leaving."
"No….never leader!" Leopard shouted while denying Edward.
"It's just that my brothers have families still present at the Cloud tribe and you see..."
Leopard spoke but simply trailed off towards the end of his sentence.
"Was it just this? This is very simple," replied Edward before calling Roc who was busy organizing everyone.
"Roc discuss the details with them, I want you to bring their family over to our tribe. Don't leave any of them behind! If someone else also wants to join then bring them along too."
Hearing the stern tone of Edward brought a sense of happiness and relief that they almost cried with gratitude. They originally thought that the Flying Eagle tribe would not accept their families. But hearing how strictly he was ordering Roc to bring their families gave them a sense of relief.
******
In the evening, a bonfire carnival was held where large pieces of meat were offered to everyone from the game the hunting team had brought.
Leopard looking at the two beautiful ladies sitting on both sides of Edward with an envious look.
'This is how a man should be! He makes new things, has the most beautiful women of the tribe and also strong men like Roc under him. He isn't blinded by power but works to be even more strong.'
This led him to think about his own Cloud tribe where there were nights when he had to go hungry and spend his nights in cold darkness.
After talking things through with Roc, a plan was formed to get the family members of Leopard's men back. After getting Edward's approval a few archers along with Leopard and Roc left in during the night towards the Cloud tribe.
******
Particularly everyone was tired at the Flying Eagle tribe. The peaceful night was broken by loud howls of a wolf. Panicked, Debro rushed towards Edward's tent. Edward was already awoken by the loud howl.
"Bad…. This is bad. I…forgot to..feed the wolves today!"
"What are you talking about?" Edward asked when rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
"Light, light brother, how did you forget... Forgot? Didn't you say a few days ago to feed the wild wolves each night?"
Edward immediately remembered about the wild wolves he had told Debro to feed every night in an attempt to tame them somehow.
"There were too many things lately...I forgot to ….feed them today." Debro replied with visible worry over his face.
He was not just scared by how the wolves might react but he was more concerned that he had failed to follow Edward's command.
"Were you feeding the wolves the way I told you too?"
"Ye…yes!"
"We should go and take a look then."
While Edward and Debro were busy discussing, Night and Daisy also walked out of the tent. The two obviously had an impatient look as not only them but everyone from the tribe was tired from the heavy work they had done.
"Light, what happened? Was that the wolf you were trying to tame?"
"Don't worry my love, it's nothing serious. The wolves are just confused that they did not have their food for today. Go back to sleep."
Just as he finished replying to Night, Daisy also appeared out of the tent. However, what greeted Edward were a pair of well-rounded white breast. It was obvious to Edward that Daisy had forgotten to dress herself before coming because she was still in half sleep. Edward rushed forward and covered her up before pushing her back inside the cave.
"It's nothing Daisy, go sleep."
Edward knew that these savages didn't really placed as much importance to breast as he was placing on them. This was just one of those few habits he had yet to change with the new environment. Edward could safely bet that half the people would usually walk around naked even.
Having dealt with both of them, Edward left with Debro towards the toilet section of the tribe where the wolves were feed at night.
The moon was in its full glory with shedding everything with a white silvery color. It was very visible that Edward could clearly see the details of the toilets he had made. Inside Edward was somewhat proud that one of his invention was working properly.
At the end of the toilet walls, Edward could see from the distance two wolves looking around. The wolves gave a cry that posed less of a threat and more of a kind of resentment.
Edward stood at one side of the wall as the wolves stood at the other side of the wall. Edward could clearly see two pairs of green eyes looking back at him. He also saw another tiny wolf sniffing around and roaming in circles around the two wolves.
A pungent smell of urine rushed to Edward's head. Edward frowned and held the wall.
With trembling hands, Edward lifted the water pot as he poured it down the wall towards the mouths of the two wolves.
Edward took deep breaths as he gestured the wolves to come near the wall. This was something Edward had told Debro to do every time he fed them, a gesture to tell them when its food time.
Edward held his breath as he saw the wolves nearing the wall. Eventually, they got close to the wall and opened their mouths with their tongue sticking out.
What was in front of Edward was not some wolves but something he could train. What Edward saw was thousands of possibilities in front of his eyes.
Slowly Edward poured water aiming for the open mouths. The wolves took the water in and simply closed their jaws. They stood as if they were waiting for more.
Edward's heart finally relaxed after which he threw a whole antelope that was hunted by the hunting team towards the wolves before retreating down the short wall.
"Light.... Brother, you, you, you scared me!"
In reply, Edward simply patted Debro's shoulder and said:
"Brother, it won't be long before we got our self some very powerful helpers!"
