He knew that now the only way for him to come back was by dying.

He had already given up on any other thought and just closed his eyes.

'BAM'

The sound was not that huge and obviously not that of someone falling from great height.

Instead, it was of someone throwing something from the first floor to the ground.

In reality, someone had actually thrown from garbage bags into the can write now and that too from the first floor and probably that was what made the sound.

Whereas for Jay, he didn't collide with the ground or the roof of any building.

Instead, he indeed up being in a sea and just fell in it.

'SPLASH'

He opened his eyes right away the moment he felt the cold water touching his skin.

He looked here and there and held his breath and confirmed after looking at the fishes around that he was indeed inside water.

But it was too fast of a thing and he couldn't understand what had happened so he looked towards the surface of the water and started to swim towards it.

Within a matter of 30-40 seconds, he was able to reach the water and surface.

'PUAAAAA'

After coming out from the water surface and holding his head high, he took in deep breaths as he had been holding his breath since earlier.

Moreover the fact that he was in the Sea was the most confusing fact because without a doubt he had seen the buildings that were right under him so it was quite surprising for him to end up in a sea.

"What just... happened?", he asked himself while looking here and there.

He then turned his gazes towards the sky to see if it was really the place from where he was falling when he found out a circular opening in the air which seemed like that of a window.

"Eh? What's... what's that?", he asked himself and was astonished to see that.

For a second he had thought that he had been dreaming but then again after being fallen into the water and being drenched by it, he could r have still been dreaming.

Also the feeling was quite real and thus he concluded that it was indeed reality.

But moreover after looking at the circle chapter opening, he recalled something and right away recognised it.

"Ah!!!! Isn't that...", he raised his voice while extending his hand towards it.

"Isn't that a Portal!!!?", he asked himself.

It has already been quite Iong since he had gone through some Portal or had experienced it.

Moreover the portal that wa sun front of him was appearing to be quite familiar for some reason.

When he recalled, he found out that it was the same Portal which had sucked him earlier when he was running and hence concluded that someone had definitely used his power Order to save him.

'Could this be the work off...', he was trying to guess if it was indeed the person who was quite oftenly mentioned in the news when all of a sudden the portal started to move towards him.

"Huh...!"

He saw it rushing towards him and just after that he vanished from the place.

He ended up entering the portal along with some water which had entered his pants and had already drenched his clothes and himself.

He just fell on the floor and looked here and there.

"Sigh, ans here I thought I had rejected to help me..."

Jay heard a voice and just after that he turned hisbhazes towards the person.

"You are..."

The moment he looked at him, he knew it right away that he was standing in front of the great 'Don Res'.

"Oh my God... are you really...", it felt as if he had already met him, but for some reason he was able to feel the overwhelming presence which felt quite unfamiliar at the same time.

"Weird... just weird...", he said to himself.

Jay just kept listening to him without opening his mouth even by a bit.

He could literally recall all the news that they had even heard or seen about Don Res.

Don Res, was someone who was one of the early rankers of the era and was ranked as S rank.

But in reality, his rank far exceeded the S rank and without a doubt he could be considered as a Natinal Level hunter or even stronger.

Jay could have thought that this news was fake, but when he took a look at the body which was built almost perfectly, he understood that the title 'Titanium Hunter' was no joke.

Various hunters who have contributed to the country receive various titles and one of them was the 'Titanium Hunter' title.

This title was essentially given to the hunter who has successfully stopped or completed 10 S rank gates.

Moreover the person should be talented enough to defeat 1 S rank monster on his own at the least.

Unlike monsters, humans could onmy measure a maximum rank of S rank.

When they would see some hunter whose power would be immediatable or considerably greater than S ranker, they would eventually give him the rank S+ and Don Res was soon going to be given that rank.

Jay just gulped the large amount of saliva as he watched the man walk away.

"R-res sir...", Jay mustered all of his courage and called out to him.

Don Res who was quite a moody person and would always do things on his own or if it is to his liking, stopped the moment he heard that.

He turned back only to see if he had anything important to say.

"T-thank you for saving me...", was what Jay said.

But it seemed like he failed to hear that. Res was already lost in his own world with thoughts about the past.

He could visually see Jay in the form of a baby and could recall everything else.

The image of him holding Jay in his hand was also visible to himself.

"Umm... Res sir...?", Jay called out yet again after seeing him spaced out.

After hearing his call once again, he returned from the imaginary world of his.

"Go... take a proper bath and change into a good pair of clothes...", Res said.

"Huh?", Jay failed to understand what he asked but when he took a proper look here and there, he found out that he was inside some room.

"Ah?", he then looked at the bathroom that was right beside him and rushed there.

He washed himself with warm water. He then took a look at vast number of clothes that were placed there.

"Uhh... now which should I wear...?", he wondered.

But then again it didn't matter to him and he took out the very first clothe which was greenish in colour, but it didn't fit him.

Rather, it was quite loose. The same went for other clothes too.

"What the..."

It was indeeed expectable because all those clothes belonged to Res and without a doubt his faint body was bigger than that or Jay.

"Tsk what do I...", he was about to just wear the towel and walk out in order to ask Res when he found a photo frame that was on the wall.

"That's...", when he took a closer look, he found out that there was a black cloth inside that instead of some picture.

He extended his hand and grabbed the phtoto after climbing the bed that laid there.

He then removed the clothes from that and tried to wear them.

"Wow! It's exact fit!!!", he said with a smile.

"Are you done with it yet?", all of a sudden Res opened the door as he was tired of waiting outside.

"Huh...?"

Res was completely shocked when he took a look at Jay.

His eyes were wide opened and he was constantly staring at him.

'He... he looks just like him...', was what he said to himself in his mind.

"Sir Res, is something wrong? Perhaps I shouldn't have wore this...?", he asked.

Res just shook his head and said, "Ah no... consider it yours..."

Jay was confused by that and just nodded his head.

For some reason he was too calm till now when all of a sudden he remembered about the sky dungeon and sera.

'Just... just what the heck am I doing?', he asked himself.

He then almost immediately decided to teleport away to the roof and then thought about going to the sky dungeon.

'Teleport!'

'Huh?'

Unfortunately he failed to Teleport which came as a shock to him.

'Why am I unable to...', he was about to ask himself the reason because of which he failed to do that when all of a sudden he took a look at the system message which flashed in front of him.

==========

[ Skill 'Teleportation' cannot he used ]

[ All skills have been blocked by the system. ]

[ Time Left ]

-> 00:00:39:56 [ 39 minutes 56 seconds ]

==========

The moment he took a look at that, he realized that he couldn't use any of the skills for at least another 40 minutes.

"Sigh... what a blunder..."

"..."
