“4 vaults were infiltrated all around the country and countless around the globe. Is this really the start of new war with the mansters? All the infiltrations were primarily caused by a single manster now named as the ‘Shadow Manster’ which all went to hiding after the vaults were infiltrated.”

It was the news broadcast from a popular TV channel.

Saransh was lying in a comfy bed inside the best hospital in the defense vault. He wasn’t alone this time; his friend Vishal was also accompanying him in the spacious room.

“The Doctors said you will be fine. However, how did you reach the storage vault in the first place?”

Vishal felt very regretful after abandoning his friend after leaving him to die.

“Well… you tell me first!! Where did you guys go anyway?”

Saransh asked him instead of answering his question, since he had to travel to a different vault on his own just to find his friend.

“Actually, when we left for the storage vault, the Clan Leader of Pandemias Guild sent us a distress signal which told us to head towards the ‘defense’ vault and… you know the rest.”

“What???”

When Vishal reached the ‘defense’ vault, he was one of the candidate Huntsmen who volunteered to be a part of the search party in searching for survivors in the storage vault. This was how Vishal found Saransh in an unconscious state in front of the plasma tower.

“Bhai!! I still can’t believe how you managed to survive for this long!”

“Well, I had help from various people.”

“Wow, bhai!! So you have actually become good at communicating with other people.”

“Ehh?? Are you trying to complement me or make fun of me?”

Vishal burst into laughter.

“You can just count it as both!!”

Vishal looked at his wrist band and said.

“Bhai!! I guess it is time for me to go. My visiting time is almost finished.”

“Yeah bro!”

“See you later bhai!!”

“See you too”

Vishal walked out of the room with a smile on his face. He was genuinely happy after finding his friend alive.

“Why does everyone bring apples all the time?”

Saransh said while looking at the couple of apples on a stand near his bed.

“Well… it is not like ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’ inside a hospital right, since there can be no hospitals without any doctors.”.

*[Your jokes are so lame] *

Mira spoke up after being silent for almost a day.

“Then just don’t listen to it!!”

Saransh was getting better at creating counters.

*[Why am I stuck with this idiot?] *

“Ask your creator!!... Aahh, I just remembered! What should I do next?”

*[What do you mean?] *

Saransh was smirking this time.

*[What exactly] *

Mira was confused after seeing Saransh’s reaction.

“Something like 100 pushups or 10 km run… which might make me OP!”

*[Oh… Jeez! You already have a method, you moron!] *

“What really?”

*[For starters, try bringing back that long sword] *

“For what?”

*[Just do it!] *

“Ok Fine…!”

He pictured the sword in his mind and said.

“Creator’s Space!”

The sword appeared in his hands out of nowhere.

“What next?”

*[Use the synchronize skill!] *

“But that wouldn’t work right?”

*[Just do it!] *

Saransh was starting to get annoyed after seeing the aggressive mode of Mira.

“Ok Fine…!” and he started the skill by saying “Synchronize”.

*[You are starting to synchronize.] *

A message appeared soon enough.

Saransh started channelling the plasma much more intensely after seeing the notification.

*[10%......30%......50%......70%......99%] *

“99% again??”

Saransh was almost irritated after seeing the progress bar stuck at 99% again.

*[100%] *

“Ehh?”

*[You have successfully synchronized with the weapon.] *

“Ehhhhh?”

Saransh got to see a truly shocking notification this time.

“What???”

The sword which he had in his hand started glowing in red as if it has accepted his new owner. One can acquire the plasma based weapon of another user only if the actual owner had died. Since the shadow manster was dead, the sword had finally found a new owner.

“How is this even possible?”

Saransh was still shocked after seeing the weapon which just synchronized. He was shocked because of multiple reasons, one being the fact that he just synchronized with a different type of weapon other than a gun and the other one that he synchronized with a sword.

“Was I not incompatible with the sword?”

*[Well… I don’t know! There might have been some mistake in the past] *

“Wow!!”

*[This weapon contains multiple skills. Would you like to accept them all?]

He clicked the ‘Yes’ button almost instantly as if he had become a master in pressing buttons.

*[You have the acquired skills: Swift Blade(Lv99), Sword Mimic(Lv99), Blood Reaper(Lv99)] *

“What the hell??”

Saransh was spellbound after seeing multiple skills which was already at level 99!

“Is this really happening to me??”

Saransh who was termed as a looser for not being able to synchronize with any weapon could now synchronize with a sword and a gun, and nonetheless his skills levels in sword were already at level 99.

He almost felt like passing out while lying on the bed.

*[ You really are such an idiot!] *

“What?? Why?”

Mira ignored him and continued.

*[It is not actually at level99] *

“Ehh?? How??”

Saransh was confused now, since the wrist band was now sending him conflicting messages.

“Are you broken?”

*[Ok Listen! It is something called the …uh the … “Creator’s Boost”] *

“What… you just made that up, didn’t you??”

*[Nopp, Listen!... It will temporarily boost your skills until you managed to complete a quest related to the weapon.] *

Saransh wasn’t convinced by the explanation.

“What?? Sounds rather suspicious to me!”

*[Ok trust me! Why should I lie to you?] *

“Ok, I trust you! Then what is the time period??”

He had no other choice, since he couldn’t find an explanation for the abnormal level.

*[You have got 10 days more or less] *

Mira spoke up right away.

“What do I need to do?”

Mira sent the coordinates of a location through the notification this time.

*[27.0238° N, 74.2179° E] *

*[Go to this place!] *

Saransh got annoyed after seeing the coordinates and tried to ask in a peaceful way.

“Just tell me the name of the place.”

*[It is Jaipur in Rajasthan] *

“No way!!”

Elsewhere,

Mr. Nara Lokesh had just landed in one of the primary vaults in Moscow. He was heading to a meeting room where all the political leaders were summoned because of the recent incidents. Only a very few vaults were still capable of air support as well as communication support over long distances and this Moscow vault was one of them.

His PA and three other officers were also accompanying him while they were entered the conference room.

All the major political leaders were already present inside the room and India’s DM was the last one to arrive.

“Aren’t we late sir?”

DM’s assistant asked in a low voice.

“Nopp, the meeting will not commence unless they arrive.”

He said while heading to a seat near the China’s Prime Minister Zhong Feng where he was deemed to be seated.

“Well… hello Mr. Zhong Feng!”

Nara greeted in a polite way and Zhong Feng greeted back in Chinese.

A man who was waiting for the arrival of all the political leaders finally started briefing the content of the discussion.

After a while, the briefing was done and UAT’s Defence Chief was the first one to speak up.

“We Americans have secured all the 16 vaults which were infiltrated yesterday.”

“So… Why do we need such a meeting with them in the first place?”, he added.

“If you weren’t interested in a meeting, then why bother come all the way up to Russia in the first place.?”

Zhong Feng was the one who tackled his question with another question.

The American Chief didn’t answer back this time and Zhong Feng continued.

“We had a trade secret regarding the vaults which was broken now! So I have to get to bottom of it no matter what!!”

The Chinese middle aged man was almost loosing his temper. After seeing him, the man who just briefed the meeting spoke up.

“Exactly.”

It was none other than the president of the huntsmen association, Mr. Yury Lavrov.

“All the new mansters that were reported went into hiding for some unknown circumstances which we still are looking into. But today we got a report from Thailand which is much more shocking…”

Before he could complete it,

*THAK THAK*

Everyone heard a knock at the conference room’s door. The arrival of the anticipated entity was finally here and the door was opened paving the way for them.

Meanwhile,

After a day had passed, Saransh was still waiting for the hospital to discharge him.

He was literally bored from watching the news and following the repeated routine.

“I really wanted some ‘Dismantle’ time if possible”.

He sighed after looking at the ceiling.

“Maybe I should take a look at the mirror!”

He took off his shirt and headed towards the mirror in his room.

‘Usually, after a day or so when the hero wakes up, isn’t he supposed to have a muscular build or something?’

After taking a couple of steps, he was already in front of the mirror and he was stunned after seeing his transformed physique.

“Wow! Is this really me?”

He could only gasp at the muscular body he was actually having. Since he had become a level 4 huntsman in just one day, his body had undergone such sudden changes that he actually developed aps and biceps in one day.

“Amazing!”

*[It is only because of your stupendous levelling speed.] *

“But I’m still ‘Wow’!”

*THAK*

The door to his room was wide open and a lady was standing at the entrance with a bright red face.

Saransh who was admiring his own body tilted his head towards the door after hearing the sound.

“What??”

The lady shouted in an embarrassed tone.

As soon as he saw the lady doctor at the door, he rushed towards the bed where his shirt was lying.

The lady doctor, Lekha was still standing at the entrance with a tomato like face.

Saransh put on his shirt as soon as he grabbed it.

“I was taking a look at my wound.”

Saransh started convincing the doctor that he was not doing something out of behaviour.

“It’s okay!”

She replied while showing her palm. It was meant to say that ‘Please stop saying anything further’. She was actually pretty impressed by the amazing body he had but didn’t want to show it on her face. Well, she was a lady in her twenties after all.

“I was here for a final check-up since you were approved to be discharged”.

“Ok! What do I need to do?”

“Just stay still on your bed and let me check your vitals.”

“Ok Miss!”
