Hans stepped outside the association building after not finding Aiden on the first floor at all. It seemed that the fellow had run away and didn't want his friend to see his vulnerable side. 'It's better to leave him alone for a while,' Hans thought, sensing that the immature boy didn't want to see anyone at the moment. While he was taking the bus to the outskirts of Chicago, Hans mulled over his recent conversation with Garrison. "The first thing you have to do to kill Logan, that is, if you care…-

Having finished their breakfast, Hans decided to accompany Aiden to the arcade after being bombarded by countless requests from his eager friend. Upon arrival, Aiden explained how the arcade worked, confessing that he had never been there due to lack of money, but was dying to try it out after hearing his classmates rave about it. "See there? You buy coins and then use them to play the games you want," Aiden elucidated. "How much does a game last?" Hans inquired. Aiden tapped his temple…

"Yaaaawwwn!" Hans woke up and stretched his arms as the morning light flooded his room through the windows, casting a golden hue on everything. A moment later, he pinched the bridge between his eyes due to a headache. It was more difficult for an awakened person to get sick, so usually, when a mage felt a headache, it was a sign of excessive consumption of mana. This time, however, it was because of the nightmares that plagued Hans throughout the night, leaving him restless. He kept dreaming…

Morning greeted Hans' flat with warmth, contrasting sharply with the cold wind that could be seen through the blurry window. The room was filled with the sound of a boiling liquid while the strong aroma of coffee permeated the air, reaching Hans's nostrils. Sniffing twice, he remarked, "Ah, the gas, better turn it off before it burns." He wasn't really rich so his stove still ran on gas and wasn't replaced by induction panels. He removed the grey mocha from the stove before pouring it into a…

The illuminated sword was enveloped in a bright and comforting warm energy, a skill that was the result of Hans' progress to reach his current stage during his intense training. {Aura} Once mastered, aura control could help people unleash immense strength or speed, depending on their inclination. Auras varied in types and could be recognized by their colors; the well-known ones included red for power, green for speed, blue for sharpness, and white for holiness. The intensity and the brightness…

Facing the terribly huge golem once again, Hans unsheathed his weapon, revealing a beautiful, yet deadly longsword. A sword he had recently christened Frost Fang. Two days prior... As Hans neared the end of his training, he decided to visit the smithy to collect his commissioned gear while also giving his strained body some break. After entering the shop, the old man welcomed him not so heartily before showing Hans his newly crafted work. Before long, a stunning chest plate was placed on the…

Once the raid was complete after the boss monster was taken care of, the three scouts in the team rushed to Hans, wanting to talk to him, hoping to engage him in another meeting or anything through which they might be able to persuade him to join their respective guilds. But Hans strode past them as if they were invisible, heading straight for the gate. Once outside, he disappeared without a trace, eluding everyone's notice. He slipped away under the cover of his {Stealth} and headed home,…

B-Rank gate clearance plan: Start. Emily did her best to conceal the gate by purchasing most of the land around it, creating a private area inaccessible to outsiders. Meanwhile, Hans managed to make a complete recovery by the following morning. His immediate concern was enhancing his circle, meaning he would need to confront and win against a B-Rank monster alone. Initially, he didn't plan to disclose his identity, but he ultimately revealed himself as the fifth team leader from the previous…

With Hans lying unconscious on her, Emily perspired as she anxiously gazed at the ceiling, fearful of their uncertain fate. After all, how was she going to explain the seriousness of the situation without exposing their clandestine arrangement? She couldn't just tell the truth, the penalty for raiding a gate illegally would entail facing years of prison, and hefty fines, which could obliterate her hard-earned career. For the moment, she escorted Hans to the hospital to get him treated and decided to…

In his cramped room, Hans now faced yet another dilemma. After emerging from the gate, his level and wisdom had both skyrocketed to impressive heights and now he stood at level 85 with an astonishing wisdom stat of 984. Taking a couple of days of rest, he then delved into training with his newly acquired spell tome. Two days later, he achieved Expert level in {Gravity Control} (1st Rank). Unlike a spell tome, this was a path tome and hence didn't disappear once he had mastered it, allowing him…
