X-Rank Hunter

"Father..."Walking alone deeper into the woods, Jim Jabat didn't know where to go.Beasts and wind were suppressing their howl from all around and no beast dared to approach this child.Even trees and tall grasses and vines were as if giving way on his path."Why did you leave me..."A mutterings of sorrows echoed in the silent night. Moon was as if grieving and hid itself behind the dark clouds. As if it couldn't stand seeing the sorrows coming from this child.The trace of being left was painted on his eyes but as if he was already tired to cry, the source of tears had already been dried up.Walking alone in the much deeper parts, a giant gorilla finally approached this child with a mischievious smile surfacing on its lips.Seeing the beast in front of him, Jim looked up in nonchalance for a moment as he asked, "Did you see my father?"

Jim almost died many times because of his low grasp of World Energy. If not because of his incredible luck that he managed to either escape from the beasts or sometimes woke up and found himself in the middle of the corpses of the beasts that as if their blood were being sucked dry, he was very well likely to die long ago.For unknown reason, even though he had already awakened his power and was now able to absorb and use the World Energy, Jim could not tame even the weakest of the beasts or summon any Spirits at all. As if they despised him so much.It came to the point that he thought that summoning was not his forte and could only use some kind of illusions in his entire life.Even though he use the techniques of his father or the techniques that were taught in school, the beasts were still going wild against him and there was no spirit heeding his call.He sometimes thought that it was connected on what had happ

Speaking of which, World Energy was an energy that originated from the 'illness' that spread out thousand years ago, back then in the Forsaken Age.Ever since the First Awakeners had managed to make use of this World Energy and had awaken powers beyond imagination, they were able to pass down the energy through their bloodline making it possible for every next generations to awaken their abilities and make use of World Energy as well.Nowadays, for those who had awakened their abilities, the Academies would help them for their growth for 'five years'. After five years no matter what rank one would become, one would certainly graduate and would be given a hunter licence.Once an individual acquired a hunter licence, one could be admitted to the Hunter Association and join a certain guild to become a hunter in one of the three great forces of Maharlika Kingdom and protect the country.Those graduates who just became a

Thinking about Charley, she was the daughter in flesh of 'Laude Mausig', the guild master of 'Burning Legion', the top 2 strongest guild in Maharlika Kingdom. Charley was said to be an 'Advance Ranker' since she was a former member of one of the eight Royal Hunters!It was 'rumored' that she 'retired' being a hunter and quit as a Royal Hunter after she was married 12 years ago. After which, she kept herself low and live in a remote village as no one had ever manage to hold news regarding her interfering the matters of the kingdom.Of course, no one was allowed to retire as a hunter for as long as one was not heavily injured and couldn't continue doing one's job any longer. But for some reason, though Charley was still in her peak, the rumors still spread out far and wide that the Hunter Association and the King allowed her to retire.Nowadays, people called her the Queen of Illusions but back then in the civil war 15 years ago when

"!"  Where am I?When Jim opened his eyes again, he found himself in the middle of a white field that he was unfamiliar with.At a distance not too far away from him, he saw a small ball of blue light floating in the midair. Yes, it was the same blue light that appeared before him last time."You again?! Are you here to harm me again huh!?"Seeing the sight, Jim's first thought was to slaughter the blue light. But recalling how frightening it was and how he was completely helpless against it, Jim could only swallow his thought afraid that he might get slaughtered instead.He already presumed that he would suffer an intense pain the moment he saw the blue light.But this time, the blue light spoke to him. It was in a deep voice of a middle-aged man saying,"I am the fragment soul of one of the four greatest hunters who created the 'prison'."
