"I... I got it..." Kevin exhaled, watching smoke sizzle from his hands and blade. A distance away lay the snake's head, now severed from its body, still twitching with residual life. "you took days to kill it." Arya approached, swiftly dousing Kevin's hands and knives with water. More smoke hissed as the water met the heated blades. After a moment, the smoke dissipated, revealing Kevin's hands, visibly singed but rapidly healing before their eyes. "Good fight," Robert acknowledged, joining Arya.…-

Yesterday, after searching the whole day, they had only found one Noxlight flower. Today, within just an hour of starting their search, Ken and Zaria discovered tracks of the monster they were after. These tracks led them to the creature's hideout, and nearby blood pools indicated it might have been injured or from a previous night's hunt. Uncertain about the situation, they proceeded cautiously. Not all monsters of the same species had equal strength; this one could potentially be stronger than the one…

"Kevin here came up with an idea to make finding the noxlight flower a bit easier," Keyara announced as everyone gathered around the fire after finishing their dinner. All eyes turned to Kevin when his name was mentioned. Keyara looked at him expectantly and suggested, "Would you like to explain it yourself?" Caught in the spotlight, he hesitated but then grinned, ready to share. "It's not some genius-level plan, just a simple one that struck me when this beautiful lady sitting right in front of me,…

The massive monster collapsed onto the forest floor, its eyes pierced by Kevin's blade. Who, catching his breath, approached the fallen creature. As he walked towards its head and pulled his knives and also the blood, which splattered on the dark soil and he casually quipped, "Be a good doggy in your next life." Keith shuddered at his comment. "That was so cringe... It gave me shivers all over my body." Ignoring her jest, the dark-haired boy, having vanquished the monster, proceeded towards the…

"What's this herb called? It smells amazing. Is it edible?" Keith inquired, snapping a photo of the light green petals and sending it to Kevin, who was examining another herb. As they trekked through the area on foot, everyone engaged in the same activity. They had decided to walk instead of riding to better survey their surroundings for herbs. Their herb detector was configured solely to locate the noxlight flower, similar to Kevin's treasure radar, which was specifically calibrated for the same…

"it's so vast." Benny marveled at the sheer enormity of the scene before them. The transparent walls, crafted from a fluid-like grey substance, cast a mesmerizing effect, constantly in motion and reflecting their blurry silhouettes. These walls seemed to encase a world of their own, providing mere glimpses of the obscured space beyond. Kevin, too, found himself captivated by the grandeur. His gaze traced the seemingly endless expanse in every direction. No matter which angle he observed, the boundary…

"Okay, take care," Maria said with a soft smile as the holographic screen blinked off. After chatting for almost an hour with his mom, Kevin finally wrapped up the call. It was tough breaking the news that he wouldn't be able to call for months. When he told her, she got all teary, which made it even tougher. Somehow, he managed to talk her through it before hanging up. He had intended to introduce Keith to his mom, but with the serious conversation, he decided against it. Now, walking towards…

In the midst of their conversation, Yelena strolled up to them, having just secured her steed nearby, and teased, "Are you two just lounging while everyone else is working?" Kevin glanced at her cheerful expression and replied, "Ah, we were just chatting." "slacking it is," she teased with a playful smirk, then turned to the silver-haired man. "Don't make him like yourself, lazy ass!" "I didn't do much, really. Like he said, just shooting the breeze, and hey, the tent's already up, nothing much to…

"Say goodbye to the sun tomorrow, folks," the brown hair men spoke looking at the sun. They all glanced toward the horizon, watching the huge orange ball sinking into the bluish-orange sky, riding the fast running Biras. "Tomorrow's our last sunny day for a while," He added. The place they were heading to didn't let the sunlight through, thanks to that giant see-through wall thing up ahead. Moonlight days and pitch-black nights were on the way. As the sun dipped lower, casting its final warm hues…

Zaria, who previously had only looked at him with a hint of lust, was now entirely focused on her gun. "Oh, you mean the nitty-gritty details that blow your mind? This baby here has a high-precision barrel, coupled with an ultra-smooth trigger pull. It's got a muzzle velocity of around 10,000 feet per second—talk about sending that bullet flying like a lightning bolt! And the best part? It's got this adjustable stock and cheek rest for that perfect fit. Oh, and last but not least, it can fire various…
