A big shock wave was going through the Global Hunter Associations main office. The report from the three Hunters, the SSS-Rank Hunters had woken up the First Generation. The First Generation are like legends they are the leaders who had been hiding from the world for more than 20 years. They were doing training all this time. The First Generation had been out of sight for long. Now the report from the SSS-Rank Hunters had brought them back, into the picture. The Global Hunter Association was feeling the effect of the First Generations return. It was a big deal. The SSS-Rank Hunters had sent a report that was important enough to get the attention of the First Generation. That was saying something.
1. The Secret Council of Elders
Inside an old temple on a mountain in the Himalayas the air was so thin that normal people could not breathe.. Four people were sitting in a circle there. They were more than 70 years old. However their World Guardians Mana was very strong. The snow around them would not melt because of this power. It was, like something invisible was stopping the snow from melting. These four people were the World Guardians. They were the Masters of the First Generation and they were SSS-Rank. The World Guardians were very powerful. That is why they were called the true SSS-Rank Masters of the First Generation.
"Is it really true?" a man who was blind asked his voice was so loud it was, like a big noise. "The son of Kang Min-ho is actually alive?. He beat a really tough Half-Step S-Rank monster all by himself?"
The Hunter with eyes said "Yes Master" and bowed really low. His sword fighting style was, like Min-hos.. It was a lot scarier and darker. He was using the power of the Void. The Void is bad news. The Hunter was actually using its power.
The four Masters looked at each other in surprise. They were talking about The Void. This is a power that not even Min-ho could completely control. If this is really true then that boy might be very important for the coming Great Darkness. The four Masters were thinking about The Void and what it could mean. The Void is a deal and that boy might hold the answer, to what will happen during the Great Darkness.
2. Jin-woo's New Challenge
Back at the army base Jin-woo sat on his bunk looking at the Void God Atharv, his blade. He knew people were watching him now. The people in the world they were all looking at Jin-woo. He was not hidden anymore. The Void God Atharv, his blade was very important, to Jin-woo.
All a sudden the System let out a notification sound.
[ System Alert! ]
You are getting more famous and that has caught the eye of some people who're not very nice these people are called 'Hidden Enemies.
[ New Daily Task: 'Breaking Limits' ]
[ Objective: Increase your 'Mana Circulation' by 20% within 24 hours. ]
[ Reward: Skill Book - 'Shadow Blink' ]
Jin-woo smiled to himself. Closed his eyes. The fact that he was, at level 34 was the start. Jin-woo needed to get a lot stronger really a lot stronger if he wanted to achieve his goals.
3. Colonel Vikram's Sudden Shift
The morning, when Jin-woo got to the training grounds everything felt different. Colonel Vikram, the guy who had acted like Jin-woo was nothing just a few days ago was now standing up straight and saluting him.
The Colonel said "Jin-woo, I mean Master Jin-woo". He sounded really nervous. His face was very pale. He told Master Jin-woo that they got some orders from Headquarters. Now they have to make sure Master Jin-woo is safe that is the important thing. Master Jin-woo does not have to go on the patrols anymore. Instead they are going to let Master Jin-woo use a dungeon it is called an "A-Rank Dungeon" and Master Jin-woo will be the only one using it. This way Master Jin-woo can get stronger, in private.
The other students, including Ryan and Soo-yun were completely stunned. They could not believe what they were seeing. The boy who was a C-Rank student the day before was now being treated like the top Hunters in the country. People were looking at him with the respect and admiration that they had, for the countrys best Hunters. The boy, who was a C-Rank student was now being treated like a deal.
4. The Danger in the Shadows
There was a lot of respect and awe around. A man was standing in a dark corner of the base. He was talking softly into a phone that was very secure. The mans eyes had a red glow, in them. This was a clear sign that he was a Demon. The red glow was not very bright. It was definitely there and it meant one thing. He was a Demon.
Yes he is really here. The blood of Kang Min-ho is inside him. Kang Min-hos blood has awakened. If we do not stop Kang Min-hos blood now Kang Min-hos blood will become the threat, to our Lords.
A deep and fuzzy voice spoke up from the end "Do not kill him yet. Take the guy to the Restricted Dungeon in Sector 7. The Restricted Dungeon, in Sector 7 is a bad place so let it deal with him for us."
Jin-woo got a bad feeling. It was like someone was staring at him. He knew it. He did not turn around to see who the person watching Jin-woo was. Jin-woo just kept walking trying not to think about the person watching him.
"The game has officially begun," he whispered
