Sector 11-A, Upper District As Emir waited for Evelyn at their meeting spot in the central plaza, he checked his watch and realized she was a few minutes late. Just as he was about to message her, she appeared around the corner, slightly out of breath. "Sorry, I'm late," she said, smiling apologetically. Emir chuckled. "Not a good first impression, Evelyn, especially for a hunter." She rolled her eyes playfully. "Oh, shut up. I just took too long to get ready." Emir smiled,…-

The first patrol was uneventful. Emir sat on the right side of the truck and watched the scenery go by, waiting for something to happen. When they finally reached a monster-infested area, he got to work. The monsters were weak and uncoordinated, and he took them down one by one without breaking a sweat. 'It was almost too easy.' He thought. After an hour of patrolling, the truck returned to the meeting area, and Emir restocked on ammo before getting back in for the second patrol. The…

Emir walked towards the salon with Lyra guiding him. he snickered. …. As Emir approached the building, he couldn't help but notice its striking resemblance to the saloons of his past life—the bright neon signs and the peculiar stock images of people with fresh haircuts plastered all over the place. It was clear that many of them had images that were taken from the internet, with some even forgetting to remove the trademarks. 'Wait, do they have copyright in this world?..... Ah,…

Emir said while brushing his teeth. Came the voice of Lyra, responding shortly after. After washing up, he chatted with Laura and then headed out to Hunters Den, wanting to buy a new augmented suit. As he pushed open the door, the tinkling of a bell hanging above it announced his arrival. Inside, Emir was greeted by the sight of the female hunter he had seen the day before, deep in conversation with Mariana, the shop manager. Upon noticing him, Mariana greeted Emir warmly and asked:…

The Hunter Association officials were constantly reminding returning hunters to present their Hunter IDs and complete their patrol reports. This was to ensure a smooth payment distribution process and avoid any potential issues. Emir joined the queue to complete his report and handed his Hunter ID to the staff member, who then used the information terminal to verify his details. Once the terminal beeped to confirm the completion of his job, he checked his own information terminal for the request…

He instantly rose to his feet in response and fished out a few pills from his old-world medicine box, swallowing them, hoping they would alleviate some of his exhaustion. The bitter taste lingered on his tongue as he looked around, scanning the area for any signs of danger. While doing that, he also scanned the area for any weapons. The ground beneath him was a haunting mosaic of blood and carnage, coloring it many shades of red, with the bodies of monsters and hunters mingling in a macabre…

Emir slowed down time with his TDS ability, a rush of adrenaline coursing through his veins as he surveyed the chaotic scene unfolding before him. The sea of monstrous creatures did little to deter his focus. With a calculated calmness, he began to pick his targets carefully, his mind working at an accelerated pace. He saw a group of four monsters heading towards him and quickly met them in a sprint, knife in hand, his muscles coiled like a predator ready to pounce. Getting closer, he slowed…

Pulling up his terminal, Emir talked to the official who was driving the truck, informing him of the situation: "We've got a problem! There are too many monsters! Especially for an area like this!" The official soon replied, clearly sounding concerned: "We'll have to step up our game then... It's probably a cluster of monsters that escaped the frontlines, so keep your eyes peeled, and be ready for anything." "I hope it's nothing serious, but if the number of monsters continues to increase, I'll…

The experienced hunters quickly lined up, and Emir joined one of the queues, waiting for his turn. Finally, he reached the front and held up his Hunter ID at the official's information terminal. Following the verification of his details, the man in charge assigned Emir to vehicle number 1 with a curt nod. "Proceed to the truck over there," he instructed, gesturing towards a massive truck built for navigating through the barren wasteland. The cargo tray of the vehicle lacked a roof, and large…

Emir examined the guns, trying to find the one that felt right for him. After a few minutes, he settled on a sleek black rifle with a comfortable grip and a fast reload time. "This is the one," he said confidently, picking it up. Mariana nodded in approval. "Excellent choice. This is the HX-10 assault rifle. It's a popular model among hunters for its speed and precision." Mariana led him to another section of the shop. "Our rail guns," she said, gesturing to a display case filled with…
