The Hunter System
Chapter 16 - Growing Strong

"Why is he so strong? Didn't you say that this Dungeon is just a trial Dungeon because I just leveled up?"

["He is strong. But you wouldn't be too hard to beat him if you were calmer."]

Aaaakkkk!!!

The monster boss continued to attack Alvin who remained standing firmly fending off all monster attacks with both of his hands protected by a transparent magic shield.

["You should've destroyed his body when you made that attack."]

"Then why can't I destroy it?"

["You're still in Tank mode."]

"... Ah, I forgot."

["You're panicking."]

"..."

.........

Seeing his opponent seem unaffected by his attacks, the Dungeon boss ended up using a much stronger attack.

Both of his bending hands were enlarged, his muscles were also expanding. Then, at full strength, the monster again attacked Alvin.

Nngg!

Getting such a strong attack, Alvin who had defended to the maximum, finally dragged backwards up to several meters.

'Crazy ones! Is that the ultimate attack?'

["Your sword is done. Take it in the inventory window."]

"Good! Thank you." Thank you."

While trying to keep his distance from the monster attack, Alvin opened the inventory window and retrieved a sword from it.

"W-wow... This sword is so cool!"

["Let's admire him! Change your job and activate your skills."]

"Enable Melee Mastery."

While the notification rambled inside his head, Alvin jumped up and rolled to dodge the monster attacks that continued to hunt him, like not wanting to give Alvin the chance to set up the attacking strategy again like before.

After their distance was close enough, Alvin finally slashed his second-edged sword 2 times on the monster's body, then thrust the sword right into the monster's neck.

Slashwas... Slashwas... Stab!!!

With just 3 quick attacks, the monster that had worried him had finally perished.

Looking at the monster body that had suddenly cracked here and there after he managed to stick the sword around his neck, Alvin's two eyes widened.

"The effect is incredible" muttered Alvin admiring the sword he used.

He remembered the goblin sword he had worn at the beginning of the Dungeon. The sword had a pretty good status, but it instantly shattered when used to attack the golem in the third area earlier.

"Yes! Two levels at once!" Alvin exclaimed in delight as he punched his hand that did not hold the sword into the air.

["I told you, you just need to be more calm. You can actually kill him without even that sword if you change your job quickly."]

Alvin ignored what the System said. He looked more at the ivory-white short sword in his hand. "This sword is cool" muttered Alvin, praising again the double-edged sword made from the wolf's bones.

"Sword status check."

...◇◇◇...

...Item Name: Wolf Sword...

...Level : E...

...Attack Power : +50,000...

...Defence Power : +3,000...

...°°°...

...Rarity : None...

...Critical Damage : +25,000...

...◇◇◇...

Seeing the status of the sword, Alvin was even more amazed.

"It's really a great sword!" Praise Alvin, when considering a sword with such status is usually sold quite expensive in the hunter store. "But, why is his sword level E? Isn't it usual for a sword with this status out there to be ranked D or C?"

The laughing system heard it.

["That's an ugly sword."]

"What?!"

["This sword is even very ugly. Wait while you hunt in a high-ranking Dungeon. I'll make you a very good weapon."]

"Y-yeah..."

But, even though Sistem says the sword is ugly, Alvin still takes pride in his first sword.

.........

"But...," Alvin then recalled how many System notifications inside his head had almost disrupted his concentration, "Will such notifications continue to sound when I use the skill?"

["Yes. The notification is very important so that you know the duration of the skill usage and know how much Mana energy is used to activate it, as well as when you can reactivate the skill."]

"I think such a notification would be annoying if it popped into my head while I was busy fighting."

["You're right. But, if you already have a high status value on sense and intelligence, it also increases the training of Mana energy mastery and raises the passive and active skills of all your jobs, too, someday you can activate the skill automatically when you need it. Your instincts will instantly activate it."]

Alvin nodded slowly, thinking about and understanding what the System was saying to him.

'I need to quickly level up.'

He suddenly remembered Brondy Lewis again. Removing the distraction from his life was his initial goal before thinking about what step he should take by having the Hunter System in him.

As Alvin was still thinking about it, he saw the Dungeon boss's body that was already cracked and lying on the grass, split apart by itself.

From inside the monster's body then sticking out a stone the size of an adult's fist that was moss-green.

"What's that?" alvin asked the System, crouching down to watch the thing that had just come out of the monster's body.

["Things you got after killing the Dungeon boss."]

"Does a monster from the future usually take out an item when they die?"

["Yes. Just take it and throw it into the inventory."]

"You're gonna work it out?" ask Alvin again, while taking something that looks like a stone.

As he just touched the item, the status window of the item appeared before him.

...°•°•°•°•°•°•°...

...Item Name: Goblin Hearts...

...Level ' Rarity: E...

...Unlocked Condition: Lv. 46...

...•°•°•°•°•°•°•...

["You can only see the status and usefulness of this item when it is at level 46 later. Just keep it."]

"Yes." Yeah."

......................

Alvin was still on his way home when he got a short message from his brother's number.

Looking at the contents of the strange message, Alvin frowned. In the message, Vina asks him to go to a park, but he asks Alvin to call her first so that Vina tells him the exact location.

"Why did he ask me to meet outside the house?"

While Alvin was still confused about the unusual, an unfamiliar number contacted him.

《"Alvin. Your number is active as well. I've been calling you since. Where have you been?"》

The voice of the woman he was already very familiar with sounded on the other side of the call.

"Why did you call me?"

《"Tsk, why are you so rude? All right, just listen to what I'm saying. I'm in a hurry now. The message from your sister's number was I sent it. She's in Brondy's hands and her friends."》

"What?! Where are they?!"

"No need to make small talk! Quickly tell me the location."

《"I just want to help you! If you speak rudely like this, you think I'll tell him?"》

Alvin kept the phone away from his ear, then checked the location of his brother's phone.

《"Alvin?"》

Tuuut...

Alvin immediately disconnected the phone when he had found the location he had been looking for.

"Suckers! Why take my brother hostage?"

When Alvin was still on his way to the location of Vina's cell phone, Shiva still tried to contact her again.

......................

Sihva was surprised when he saw Alvin was already in front of him, but he had not told his location at all which was now in the garden of his apartment complex.

“Alvin?”

“Where are they?!” Alvin is worried about his brother.

“Alvin, sit down first we talk..”.

“I don't have time! I don't know what that bastard would do to my sister.”

“I want to help you!”

“Then so quickly tell me where they are!"

Because Shiva did not answer his question, Alvin finally grabbed the girl by the neck. Strangled him tightly, then lifted his body.

“Say now or I'll crush your neck,” threatened Alvin.

Shiva felt an extremely powerful magic energy curling his neck. He even tried to release the grip with both hands as hard as he could, but he could not even let go of a single finger Alvin.

[“He will die before he can answer your question.”]

Hearing the System's speech, Alvin finally reduced his magic energy a little.

It was at that moment that Shiva who was already frightened, answered him.

“D-he is in an old building near our house..”.

Alvin knows the place Shiva means. They often used the place to train together while being lazy to go far away to the training ground in the Academy.

Alvin releases his grip on Shiva's neck and picks up his sister's phone which Shiva put on the park bench, then leaves in a hurry to get to Vina's whereabouts.

Shiva stared at Alvin's departure with a horrified look while holding the skin of his neck that was peeled off by Alvin's hand.

“How can he be that strong?”

......................

Alvin kicked the door very hard as soon as he got there.

Brondy and 6 of his men who were joking while waiting for Alvin's arrival, of course, surprised when he saw the old door of the building was suddenly destroyed, especially when he saw Alvin running straight towards Vina who was bound in a state of fainting at the mast of the building.

“Post him!” Brondy shouted at his men.

Alvin looked at the Hunter-hunters he already knew.

They were the best Hunter-hunters who used to escort and guard Brondy while the man was raiding in a Dungeon whose rank was rather high.

Brondy always takes them to protect him so he will stay safe.

They are also very famous because they have been too often in various local news.

"Subquests? Enable subquest."

[“It's a good opportunity. Use them also to add hours of practice in your monthly quest,”] System voice suddenly sounded.

"Enable monthly quest."

Alvin immediately attacked 4 men who stood up to him.

The four hunters initially laughed when they saw Alvin put up a fight with horses kick boxing style. However, just as they had started fighting, the average D-ranked hunter was shocked to know Alvin's physical strength and speed were above them.

Buakkk…

Alvin instantly managed to land his fist on a hunter he saw the most off guard.

The surprise attack managed to make the hunter collapsed shortly after he got the attack earlier.

He then moved towards the second hunter. Attacking with a low kick and continuing to target both feet.

Getting a barrage like that, of course, makes the hunter a club and finally both legs tripped and he finally fell.

Seeing the opportunity, Alvin immediately lunged at him and kicked his head very hard.

Kinkk!!! Krakk!

In kicking that hard on his batok head, of course making the hunter instantly faint instantly.

Unlike Alvin who was ready to fight from the beginning, the hunter was completely unprepared to fight so he did not have time to strengthen his defense with magic.

"Be careful, his magic energy is not like a Healer!" someone standing in front of Brondy reminded.

They know how weak Alvin is. So, from the beginning they had underestimated him by not using magic energy to fight, as they thought that they would be able to subdue that Healer-type hunter very easily.

However, due to taking their opponents too lightly, they ended up suffering losses.

......................

Just now the two hunters want to attack, Alvin who from the beginning had intended to finish them all, had already taken the attacking step.

He had already felt in the crackle dozens of abnormal slimes and abnormal golems. So, when he faced weaker bullies than those monsters, Alvin could fight very calmly, even though his emotions were currently unstable.

Bukkk... Krakk…!

One more hunter fell and vomited blood as Alvin managed to pin his fist on the man's heart and crushed his bones.

Seeing his comrade hit by the attack so easily, the hunter who was about to charge forward hesitated and looked at Alvin fearfully.

Seeing the chance of the opponent's hesitation, Alvin directly attacked the hunter and broke his chin as he punched him very hard.

Krakkk!!!

All the moves Alvin made were very fast.

After knocking down the 4 hunters who wanted to gang up on him, Alvin immediately advanced toward the two hunters who stood in front of Brondy.

Alvin knows them as two very famous C rank hunters in S City. They were the hunters of the Association, the subordinates of Brondy's sister.

Alvin saw a wide grin on the lips of the two hunters as he approached him.

They also put up the horses to fight when Alvin had advanced to attack, which was just to make fun of him.

They thought, even though Alvin was able to knock down 4 D rank hunters, but to knock down a C rank hunter was very impossible for an F ranker.

However, they were very surprised when Alvin attacked not only with his fists.

He had a small knife in his hand that the Forging System had just put and gave it to him.

Sratt…

The attack directly targeted and injured the neck of the first hunter.

Seeing his comrade's neck being injured and blood pouring from there, the second hunter who was still gathering Mana energy in his hand was shocked.

Stab…!

It was too late to react. Alvin had already pierced his chest with a small knife in his hand.

Actually, in addition to being stronger, Alvin is also lucky to know them and know the jobs they have. That was why he chose to attack the Warrior-type hunter first before attacking the Mage.

......................

Now only Alvin and Brondy are left facing each other.

Seeing that Alvin was suddenly strong, Brondy started to get scared

Alvin looked at her and smiled cynically. He knew Brondy's cowardly nature. Brondy will oppress people who are weaker than him and will be afraid if faced with people who are stronger than him.

.........

Brondy pulled out his sword. However, the faster-acting Alvin had already lunged at him and slammed Brondy onto the floor.

Alvin then pressed down on Brondy's neck strongly, then beat him in the face with a very brutal punch.

Buakk.. Buakkk.. Buakk…!!!

Alvin continued to punch him in the face so hard that Brondy was finally unconscious with a face filled with blood due to gaping wounds and bruises that suffered.

After he managed to knock down all the opponents, Alvin finally went to free Vina. She was so grateful that Vina seemed to be fine. He just fainted from sleeping pills.
