The Abandoned Hunter Chapter 2
Advertisement
"This is really weird. I don't know why but I'm feeling a bit uneasy. Hey Kim bro, why don't we return for now?"Jay said this with a shrill voice. His words were wavering as if they didn't want to leave his mouth.
"Hahaha, what are you saying? We are having a wonderful time here. We are almost at the boss's room. We will clear it and return at once. Don't be scared. Hahaha"was what Kim said to attract attention to himself.
The remaining hunters were also laughing at what Jay had said. He was a bit frustrated as his words were completely neglected but at the same time the feeling of uneasiness kept on bothering him.
Jay was turning his head towards his left and right again and again repeating it every second. And on seeing this some of the hunters criticized him and were asking him if it was a Circus show.
But no matter how angry Jay was, he kept his cool and humbly accepted all the criticism.
Soon 30 minutes passed and all of them reached the boss's room.
Well it was quite unusual because the door at the entrance was 20 times bigger than any other door that was found till now.
All of them were quite bewildered at the sight. They were surprised as well as happy as they believed that they would get would get greater rewards.
So they immediately tried to open the door that was standing majestically. All the hunters used their brute force to push the door open, however their efforts failed.
They repeated the process and tried again and again. However, every time they would fail to move the door even by an inch.
So they decided to take some rest and then try later.
Some of the hunters had the expression showing that they were tired and some were breathing quite heavily.

Some or the other way they all had lost their confidence and dedication. Some had even lost their patience and wanted to go back immediately. The atmosphere was dull and all they could do was cuss about the door.
But no one had paid attention to Jay Down.
He was the only one among them who had a different expression.
He was quite shocked by seeing the door.
"This... this door. Where have I seen this before?" While scratching his head Jay started to think deeply about it.
Jay felt that he was somewhat close to the door. It was as if he had already seen the door previously somewhere.
He was lost in his thoughts and before he could realize, he was already near the door.
"Fabulous... this door... no... This isn't door!!!"
He suddenly remembered something.
"This... this is a gate! The gate of Reus"
He suddenly said that without even knowing anything. It was something that suddenly came up in his mind.
He slowly went close to it and touched it lightly.
"Eh? What am I doing? Sigh... I should go back and eat something."
He immediately started to walk with his back faced towards the gate.
He had hardly walked 20-30 steps when suddenly, the door started moving.
"Wh-what is happening? The door! THE DOOR!"
All the hunters shouted by looking at the door.
The door moved all the way and a wide entrance was created.
All the hunters suddenly stood up and started running towards the entrance as they wanted to be the first one to get the reward.
Jay was no different. He too wanted to get the rewards and by seeing the hunters go, he started following them. But as soon as he had decided to go, a voice suddenly told him something.
"D-don't go... it is dangerous."
"Eh? Who"

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.
