15: Hunting Area I
Date Created: Feb.3,2017
----------
The moment Kian logged on to the game, he didn't headed straight to Professor Perch's classroom but to the forest outside of Shade Academy. It wasn't the same one at the entrance but on the back gate.
There was a huge signboard that indicated that the place ahead was the hunting location for players.
Kian decided to hunt first and train his Enchantments before he proceeded to learn Dark element application.
It was currently in the afternoon so students and workers who just logged in to the game can be seen popping out in magic circles all around the area.
He didn't paid them any attention and headed to the thick black forest ahead.
Just like any other forest in the Gloom Faction territories, the place was eerie and hid something sinister. However, the blue spirits that circled around the place have it a kind of beauty that can never be seen back on Earth.
A few meters after he entered the forest, Kian encountered a signpost on a tree.
"Hunting Area I" he read the contents aloud before he proceeded.
This forest was named after Shade Academy, the Shade Forest. It was divided into three hunting areas where different ranks of monsters lived.
Hunting Area I was mostly for beginner Acolytes who still haven't ranked up to become Warlocks. All monsters that lived here were from level ten to twenty.
When Kian entered the first area, he quickly encountered a group of players who were gathered by a large tree. They were lead by a tall and huge man with a ferocious look on his face.
"Oi newbie!" the scary looking man called out to him.
Kian furrowed his eyebrows and shot a look at him.
"Hurry up and come here. We still have a lot of things to do!" the guy shot Kian an annoyed look before he turned around and ordered the other players to line up.
"Who the hell is he?" Kian's mouth formed into a sneer as he turned around and headed into a different direction.
The man just now realized Kian was walking away and released angry screams but Kian didn't turn back around.
The forest was silent except for the occasional roars of monsters. Kian passed by a place where gigantic purple flowers bloomed.
"Kyaaah!" a shrill scream sounded out from above.
A figure then fell down and landed on the ground. It was a large infant with a green body. A purple bud formed on its head. It didn't have the innocent face of an infant but a wide mouth filled with sharp teeth instead.

"Level 13?!" it was two levels above him.
However, he more worried towards the description than the levels.
Monsters that had ranking titles in their ames have the words usually indicated that it was a member of a clan or pack. Usually, killing one would lead to the whole group chasing you.
Kian quickly tried to turn around but the Bud Baby issued another shirll scream. This time, it had a different effect.
He felt strangely angry and picked up his gun then fired a shot of Bullet I towards the Bud Baby. The bullet went straight and landed on the monster's stomach.
However, it didn't die but only suffered a loss in its HP. It quickly spat a ball of acid from its mouth towards Kian who was still recovering from the Provoke Skill of the monster.
Kian was hit straight into the chest and felt a short tingling pain that quickly disappeared.
He looked at his chest and noticed that his clothes were already turned apart and red lines formed in his chest. His HP also went down to seventy percent.
"If that wasn't enough to kill you then how about this?" he screamed and aimed the pistol once again at the Bud Baby. This time though, two runes surrounded Bullet I. The runes merged with the skill creating a great spinning force.
The skill flew once again and headed straight to the Bud Baby. The monster was slow and didn't have the notion of dodging. It tried to bite the bullet but the force shot it straight into the air instead.
"Kyaaargh!" the shrill scream was muffled because of the impact from the attack.
Before its death, it released a strange vibration and fell to the ground.
Kian quickly used the system's looting system and tutned around to run. However, he wasn't able to run far before a large figure jumped out from the trees and blocked his way.
As the artificial moon's light fell into the figure, it was revealed to be a humanoid monster about Kian's height. It had the same green skin as the Bud Baby.
However, it didn't have a bud anymore but a fully bloomed purple ambrosia. Its large hands were the size of a basketball and the monster dragged them in the ground as it approached him.
Suddenly, it let out a scream and waved its right hand at him. The originally long hand became longer giving no room for Kian so dodge.
The attack connected with his body and sent him flying. He crashed into a tree's trunk with a groan.
Kian quickly fell into a state of panic. It seems he really fell into deep trouble this time.
