Chapter 1: Young Wolf

"Target found"

Said the young boy as he aim his bow to an unsuspecting monster. He grips his bow tightly with his right hand as his left hand pulls the string as hard as he can with an arrow in between. As he concentrates he take in a small breath and then released the arrow.

Although the monster notices the arrow it is too late as the arrow penetrated it's head causing to collapse from it's spot and died.

"Dinner secured"

He went down from the branch of a tall tree and went his way into the fallen prey as he looks around to make sure no other monster are present. With no monster near him, he quickly arrives at the prey's location.

It's bigger than i thought. It's twice the size of an adult man and it's quite bulkier. I'm sure the meat will be delicious since it looks very healthy. Well not anymore but dinner is still dinner.

"Well then, time to dismantle it"

The monster is called "Elk" a herbivore type monster that dwells on forests and plains. Although they are a very common monster, they are still hard to hunt. They are very sensitive to danger and runs fast enough to escape the said danger. It's a popular monster because all of it's materials are quite valuable and it has many uses. The meat is delicious, it's antlers can be used to make tools and medicine, the blood is used for alchemy, the skin can be tanned and made into leather and even the excrement can be used for fertilizer. With this i'm sure my dinner will be satisfying.

"...and it's done"

It took 25 minutes to dismantle everything from the skin to the it's bones. On the ground where i dismantled the elk lays a pool of blood. Although it's a waste, there is nothing i can do about it since blood was already leaking by the time i arrived. I'm sure other monsters especially carnivores will gather here so i went back to my camp to avoid confrontation.

"There we go"

I put the last piece of meat inside my pouch. The meat in my hand is sucked in and the pouch automatically closed. No matter how i got used, it never fails to amaze me. This pouch is called "Magic pouch" a very straightforward name since it stores all kinds of stuff. This can hold 250kg and can be carried anywhere which makes it very useful for travellers, merchants and even common folk. It was a gift given to me from my grandfather so i'm very grateful for it. Humming in good mood, i went back to my camp.

"That was delicious"

The elk meat is very delicious as i hoped. Satisfied with my dinner, i put out the campfire and went inside my tent.

As i put a maintained and clean my bow and knife, i heard a howl from very afar. Although the howl came from very far away, i'm sure it's from a monster called "Wolf". Even though i'm sure it's a wolf, i don't know what type it is. As i listen more, there came along another series of howling. It may look alarming but i'm sure i will not encounter any of them.

I'm inside a very large forest so i'm sure encounter will not happen. Not only that my camp is in an area filled with floras of many kind but is is also blended to look like my surroundings. Camouflaged both in smell and sight, this area is very safe. It is near a river too which is very convenient. So i'm relaxed as i should be. The howling reminds me of my home, a place where we train to become an agent. A clan where many strong individual gathers and train to become an elite. We acknowledged the monster "Wolf" as the symbol of our clan and made it our belief to show our strength. Although i'm still young, i'm also a "Wolf" and i'm proud of it. I tucked in with my blanket with the howling as my lullaby and the moonlight shine as my nightlight.

Thinking about hunting tomorrow, i whispered "good night" and fell asleep.
