Chapter 1

Arc I: Ryu Izumi

THE ALARM SOUNDS

Ryu: * stops the alarm * I'm up now ... ha .. as always, I don't know why I have that habit if I live alone

My name is Ryu Izumi. I am an 18-year-old single boy, I live alone in my apartment. Normally, think about how I support myself because it is easy. I worked on the cracks or fractures. They are dimensional phenomena that began in late 2020.

Ryu: * grab two pistols * this will do for today

These phenomena bring with them an infinite variety of monsters. Imagine that you say to see the ugliest monster in the world seen because these cracks when they open make you retract your words when something worse appears, but you will think how humanity prevail is simple as well as Hell was unleashed by these phenomena, also heaven sent its troops, approximately on January 10, 2021, humans acquired special abilities, this is how the dream of having super powers is not an illusion.

Ryu: * I open the door * mmm how long until I start

This immediately made many panic but it was managed to calm down even for that many things happened only 80% of the people in the world were born or were blessed with these skills immediately the ONC (world organization of hunters) was formed so we did not call with our skills we hunt the monsters and keep in peace already saved the world

Ryu: * walking *

Vendor: You are going to go hunting ryu again

Ryu: its sir how is the food today

Seller: well do you want some

Ryu: no thanks I've already eaten

Only there is a mishap and it is 10% of those who do not have skills, many support in the trade, giving or stealing information or create their guilds to stay but the truth is that many who do not have skills want to prove their worth in hunting either out of necessity or selfish fame but it has been shown that many who have no skills and attend die sooner or later

Salesman: These Now Kids Should Go To School To Learn To Control Their Skills

Cook: you don't know that ryu boy was not born with a skill

Seller: seriously

Cook: if he has participated in many phenomena but almost always gets injured and ends up in the hospital

Salesperson: because he does not give up even looking for a job is easier than giving his life day to day

Cook: apparently he can't is his family's business

Seller: uh .. of if family what is with your family

Cook: well ....

The truth is that originally I was born from the unapproved union between my mother, a member of the yang family, one of the most prestigious families there is, and my father who had no luxuries and fame, the yang family became famous for my great-great-grandfather luxius yang, one of the best hunters in the world, appeared as in 2034 he revolutionized the whole aspect of hunting, currently it is 2115, many years have passed since then, what happened with my father and my mother .....

Ryu: hello hunter ryu reporting se

Director: welcome soon you will be given the explanation of the area of ​​the crack caused by the dimensional phenomenon

Kong: oh look but if he is useless

Ryu: tch ....

Kong: what's up, you're not going to answer useless

Ryu: I have nothing to talk to you kong

Kong: bastard !!

Director: Sir remember that it is forbidden to go to fight in non-designated areas

Kong: well then I'll go but don't ask me for help when you're going to die you dirty-blooded bastard

Ryu: * angry *

My father disappeared a long time ago when he said that he was going to hunt, they soon found his body and I confirmed it, he had died as for my mother, the yang family scold her for her actions and forgot about me who would say for her I did not exist, one day I went to see her and took blows for her and her guards everyone knew about me they called me dirty blood that without any ability I kept my father izumi's last name and every day I hunt is to survive and take revenge on those monsters that killed me father although I am far from my goal but still I must keep fighting

Director: Gentlemen, we have told you that the area seems to be a dark cave with humidity, there are several giant insect-type monsters, be careful because of the extensive network of tunnels that exist and despite being a cave it has cliffs we have not measured its depth so no fall down this is a level 2 crack so calm down but I don't know trust it because of its low difficulty we have called rank B hunters to support you we don't know what might be in a cave

In this world the dimensional phenomena that cause cracks are listed according to their difficulty ranging from 1 to 5, with one being the easiest and 5 being the most difficult normally requires hunters rank S, the hunters are divided into ranks ranging from F, D, C, B, A, S, SS and SSS It is usually thought that those who are in rank D are hunters without skills but hunters with not very good skills are also found even among the skill holders there are different classes and those in the world ranking it is that go from S onwards are the possessors of powerful abilities are real monsters

Ryu: * looking at the crack * well here we go

Kong: with those guns and that weak team will make you mush better stay behind

Ryu: tch .. * enters the crack * it's very dark * I activate the flashlight and move on *

The good thing about when you are hunting is that the meat, organs and other parts of the monsters can be sold and used to create equipment, this has allowed various cures for diseases and scientific and technological advances, society today is healthier

Ryu: I don't see any monsters near where the hunter platoon and the rank B hunters are

Chirp

Ryu: what the hell was that ...

My eyes did not believe it despite watching the B rank hunter team was slaughtered on the floor eyes torn out, guts coming out of its stomach, larynx coming out of its mouth, body without head or skin could not contain it the way they were murdered

Ryu: * vomits * ha !!

Kong: help !!!

Ryu: that's kong that happens as soon as we just entered how things are here

Kong: you didn't just come in, 1 hour passed ... * terrified *

Ryu: I have but it's impossible despite being separated at least one or two minutes it should take me to meet you !!

Kong: you don't understand, it's a black crack !!

Ryu: no god can't be * shocked *

Many dimensional phenomena cause cracks, we already know that they have a difficulty level of 1 to 5 but the black cracks are special they appear to be normal but everything inside them changes and evolves, it may seem like a level 1 environment but as time passes the monsters of its Interior change and evolve .. something is certain if a black crack appears it takes more than one S rank hunter

Kong: we are going to die god we are going to die * crying *

Ryu: calm down kong we are not going to die

Kong: of course you are a mudblood without powers and I am a boy with an ability to increase his strength that can be used with that bastard

Ryu: who?

Kong: the one who killed them all, was stuck on a kind of horse, it was like fire and he killed them all while he killed them, he ate them to regain strength

Ryu: so that's why these horrible corpses ... I don't want to imagine what they suffered

Kong: that bastard is strong we will die here

Ryu: we must not run away

Kong: where when we enter the portal is closed and only appears when the crack is finished or go forward until you find a portal that are always at the end

Ryu: that option is not better, we can escape if we go to the other side

Kong: you're not listening to that bastard walking around, just what if we meet him? Also if we stay here we will be fine as a group he will enter and we can escape when the portal opens

Ryu: and how long will it take until then is a black crack, you forget it, they wait for our returns and the time here is different, we don't have food, you don't understand, we have nothing going for us, we have to escape, no matter how minimal the possibility may be.

Kong: I will not go if you want to see you

Ryu: despite everything kong if I manage to escape I will bring help and inform you all * I start to run *

Kong: we will all die here today there is no way out, you don't understand it .... I have a trace of blood ... perhaps I .. * shocked * my leg but when ... there is a god .... that means .. no monsters are very dumb they couldn't follow me on a trail

Ryu: * running * I have to hurry a characteristic of a black portal is that as its monsters evolve over time they not only get stronger but they get smarter

Kong: he ... what is that sound ... hey, you're ryu right ... stop scaring me ... dirty-blooded bastard ... your family abandoned you for not serving ... how do you go about scaring me if I was born with an ability ... you heard you are nothing you are just a child with the rejection of his mother and a dead father you have nothing !!!

A figure peeks out of the shadows

Steps

Kong: there you are, what happened you cower and that's why you come to my truth I did not tell you it is safer here there is no way you can escape he ... what happens look damn get on your knees to ask me to protect you that's why you're here no

Ryu: I must not stop if I do it who knows what monster I will find, the explorers said that there was another portal if you followed the direction head-on, many explorers disappeared I must imply that it is because of the monster although the exploration work is just as dangerous than the hunter

Screams

He has !!

Ryu: * running * those were Kong's screams, I shouldn't stop if the monster has already located him then he will be looking for me but there is no way he will find me despite being his territory a monster cannot find someone he has never seen in his life

Steps, knocks, thumps

Ryu: I have, but how could you if .. * I look down * my steps, that damn thing was perhaps following my footprints left on the ground, not yet the footprints disappear quickly.

I ask that monster is faster than me but at the speed at which I run and some tracks must have been erased even when stepping on the footprint mold, it cannot be left on the ground perhaps ..... I don't know that they get stronger but .... this is....

A black figure with red maracas all over her body and mounted on a kind of horse which was connected approached holding a head revealing the spine was the head of kong

Ryu: * scared * that thing that is ... * running * I must not stop it will be a suicide if I do it * I draw my pistols * at least I must see how to delay it * I start shooting him *

He only shielded himself with his own body and the bullets were burned on contact.

Ryu: damn this is impossible of something I'm sure that thing if it touches me I'm dead and the ammunition will not tell me forever ... * I look at the portal * there is God I have to go through it no matter how the portal is ... .. * jump * I'll do it

But at that moment the monster creates a belly of fire and throws it at Ryu's chest ...

Ryu: * goes through the portal * he .... * spits blood *

Director: fast !! we need a stretcher and medical personnel !!

Ryu: * closing his eyes * it can't be to if my life is going to end. When I finally achieve something like escaping from a black portal I die, don't fuck with me my mother rejected me .. my father died ...

Flash back

???: Ryu when you come back you want to play a video game ...

Ryu: yes dad

End of flash back

Ryu: I wanted to play a game with you dad ... that hurts ... but you know ... I'll see you soon ... No !! my father did not want to see me like that I cannot die, I am the only thing that remains of his legacy ... I must live, I will live and I will become stronger at all times. I will show everyone that I can do it !!
