《System Hunter》Chapter 5- Search and Destroy(2)
Advertisement
After talking with the God of Dimension. Ernesh finally have a deeper understanding to his situation. Ernesh was sent back to his own room after their talk. His surrounding warped until the familiar view of his own room entered his vision. The time that passed by on the God of Dimension was an hour long but on the planet, only a second passed by. The sun is beginning to rise when he looked at the window.
'This ain't that bad of a deal.' Ernesh thought as he watch the sunrise on his window. 'The feelings that I develop during this 5 years to my parents is still strong. I thought that by unlocking my memories It would disappear.' Ernesh began to remember the time before the war in his memories that killed most of his emotions. The happiness he had spent to his real parents. 'To think that I will experience this feeling again.'
It cannot be denied that the attachment he felt before unlocking the memories are still strong. Zane and Brighid has shown him their care very much. Now that he unlocked his previous memories, he began to appreciate it more than ever. As he muse to these happy thoughts, he then took a serious face and closed his eyes.
[TOTAL ANOMALIES: 43]
The number of enemies he had to hunt appeared in his mind. The God of Dimension called him an agent. A legal transmigrator or reincarnator paired with a system designed to combat other system. Some of the anomalies are souls from earth just like him. He has two ways to capture an anomaly. One to convince the system and the user to register as a legal system by cooperating with the Gods of the planet. The second one is by beating the shit out of both the system and the user. Killing.
[TOTAL LEGAL SYSTEM:8]
In the planet he is not the only one who has a system that followed the rule. However, he is the only one with an advance type that is the anti-sytem and soul from earth. Just like him, these users are given a mission to hunt the anomalies.
[BOON]
Another word has appeared in his mind. Boon represent the rewards that he gain. It is like a student with the system acting as the private teacher in-charge of teaching and grading.
[SPECIAL PLACE: REWARD FOR ACCEPTING MISSION. PLEASE FOLLOW DIRECTION BY THE SYSTEM.]
[SYSTEM GRADE B: PLEASE MAINTAIN GRADE C AND UP BEFORE DYING IN ACTION TO GAIN THE HUMAN REINCARNATION REWARD.]
Accessing the [BOON], two new words appear. The information and the system grading. 'During my time here, the system will decide if I really did my mission before I die and not just goofing around or trying to kill myself immediately. The information gives me the special information that will help me as a reward. Of course they are only information like the special place that I currently have and need to discover.'
Ernesh began to access the special place information when the number of anomalies decreased to 42. Ernesh raised his eyebrow and ask Zero, his system some info.

[SCANNING NEARBY AREA.]
One of Zero's function as an anti-system is the ability to scan the area 10 km around him for systems.
[SCANNING COMPLETE]
[A DEAD USER HAS BEEN ELIMINATED. THE ILLEGAL SYSTEM IS STILL INTACT.]
[CONCLUSION: THE ANOMALY HAS BEEN DEFEATED BY A NON-SYSTEM USER.]
[ERNESH, I REQUEST TO BE IN CONTACT WITH THE CORPSE IN 3 HOURS OR THE SYSTEM WILL ESCAPE AND FIND ANOTHER USER.]
In fighting anomalies, I must defeat the user while systems will handle the other system.
Angels who wanted to advance must acquire power. When the creator awakens and began to create planets, Angels fight for the chance of being an administrator of a planet and gain its dominion. Some weaker angels decided to become a system by converting their physical to a more spiritual essence. A system then needed native inhabitants and guide them at the same time. The more the user interact with them the more power they acquire.
"Please, lead the way." Ernesh nodded and prepared his combat attire. There is no arnor that is designed for him but there is one chain armor designed for the small clansmen. The chain armor was light but it measures until his thighs. 'I'm greatfull I have my father's physique. Now then, who is that unlucky cheater that fell.'
Going out of the room, Ernesh decided to come up with an excuse but when he saw how tired his mother and sleeping soundly in her room, he gave up and decided to rush to the direction Zero is providing.
[THE TARGET IS 8 KM AWAY.]
Ernesh followed and went straight to the west gate. Upon arriving, the guards number seems to have multiplied by 2. There are currently 12 guards in front. The guards noticed Ernesh approaching and made a smile. They asks him where he is going and how he is feeling. "I want to borrow the horses again and have some fresh air Mr. Ghan. I was sick yesterday due to a mysterious fruit that I ate. Now that I have recovered I want to freshen up my body a little bit." The guard's eyes widened. They all thought that he was attacked and some forces has been plotting against the clan or kingdom. The guards looked at each other and nodded. One of them went to the stronghold and made a report to the chief while another one went and fetch a horse. Ernesh smiles and wave at the guards before going on his way.
[SOUTH-WEST 7.1KM]
Ernesh gallop to the direction Zero provided.
*******
The Gram clan, located southwest of the Waterlake kingdom. The kingdom has 3 entrance from west, south and east. To enter the west gate you can chiose the route by going through the Gram clan or by passing the Gram clan further north and enter the Lionheart city. The road between the two has a spot where travelers can rest they called it the Traveler's resting area. It has flat land where green fresh grass grew that is good for the horses and a river on the west. Past the river is the forest where the Elven Kingdom's territory is. While the southwest or South of the Elven Kingdom lies the Blood Moon Empire.

It was an hour before the dawn when Zane and his clansmen arrived at the area. There are two groups camped seperately. Zane and the Gram clansmen didn't use horses and wears chainmails and leather armors painted in black. Their arrival gave the people on guard as their bloodlust from the previous raze is still fresh.
The Bavel Organization are group of people or scholars based in the Holy Center Empire's Center City. This group aim's the research of the rune language and deals with relics. They travel regularly in the Waterlake's King City during this season of Wind to trade and visit the Rune Temple. It took them 3 days using the horse carriage to reach the King City. At the second day of their travel they always make a full rest at the traveler's resting area.
Their travel is joined along the way by the merchants of a noble house. It was always peaceful traveling this parts because the forest is under the control of the Elves so as long as no one tresspassed into their forest all is good. Bandits fear the traveler's resring area due the Gram Clan. Clan's always love to fight and for them to discover bandits will be their pleasure. That is why the chance of encountering enemy here is low. However their rest was disturbed at dawn by a commosion.
The guard mistook the arrival of Zane as an enemy ambush at first and seeing big shadow and strong blood lust plus a hundred person at that, the first thing that they thought is to escape. It was the merchant's guard that met them first. Their bloodlust made their legs tremble and their plated armor heavier. They only have 10 guards and 4 of them are on the look out. Their fear was felt with extreme relief when the torch's light reach Zane's body. The crest of a golden sword piercing a brown dragon's head emerge on the chest of his brigandine armor. Upon seeing the crest of the 7-foot tall, bear body of Zane, they sigh in relief. The stronger people that has a greater sense of aura woke up as they look at their direction of arrival.
Seeing the group of merchant, Zane began questioning. It was still early and they needed more rest but upon seeing the Clan's Vice-chief with a hundred clansman, the merchants cooperated easily. Zane knew the merchants so he only ask a few question of their proof of identity and their time of arrival.
"We have arrived yesterday early in the morning with the other group. My lord, we never leave this area since we arrived. We needed a full rest to prepare ours minds and our merchandises. Since my lord has awoken us early, we would like to prepare for our depart now since all of us are awake and nothing else to do." A merchant wearing a green long-armed shirt and a tight white pants while a sheet of cloth made by a rabbit's fur wrapped on his body.
"Its okay Portis. All of you are cleared you may go as you see fit." Handing the sheet of paper back to Portis, Zane gave a smile but the bloodlust that every single one of the clan are still strong, Portis began to sweat and take off the sheet of fur cloth that's making him warm.
'Something must have happen and seeing their state, their will be trouble sooner or later. We better move on before it's too late.' Portis thought as he commanded his fellow men and merchants to leave in haste.
Zane and the others went to the next group. The group was wide awake now and only look at the commossion. The bloodlust awaken most of them and began to investigate but they are blocked by the Gram Clansmen and told that no one is allowed to leave.
Agatha a young woman in her 20's was the one leading the Bavel Organization. She is being trained by the group in hope to be one of the few that will leas their success. She leads a group of 10 scholars with 5 guards. It will be her first time to go in the King City and visit the Rune Temple. She was excited as the journey went on smoothly but then this thought vanished as she is now in front of Zane.
She looked up to meet Zane's eyes as they are standing infront of each other. She looks so small with Zane as she measured up below his chest. Her skin hair stood up covered by her white robe, as their gaze met. The bloodlust grew stronger and never toned down as they talk.
"Bazel Organization? Why are they sbeing lead young ones? Never mind. We are here for a special inspection and would like to ask you a few question. Also your proof of as a members of the organizarion." ,Zane said in a deep calm voice.
"People robbing and harrassing this early. Isn't this too much?" A young man's voice was heard between the conversation. Zane maintained his calm face but their aura became even more stronger. "It's just an inspection. No one is robbing or harrassong. If you want to get this done early then cooperate." Zane responded.
A young man with a black long hair that looked like a woman came in front. "We came here the same time as those merchants that are leaving. Judging by your actions, you are not looking for something but someone thay cause some trouble in your place. Sadly, the rest of us are here since yesterday and never advance so I think your search is meaningless." The young man said in a proud manner as he adjusted the sash on his blue robe. Zane looked at the carefree attitude of the young man then glanced the short sword hanging on his back before giving a reply.
"I don't care. Those who do not comply will DIE!"

All is not well among the people of the northern lands, however, as Jian discovers when she receives her own long-awaited Path.
