The Abandoned Hunter

"Welcome..."

"Ah, looks like we have some interesting guests today.", Jake smiled while looking at Jay and Res.

Jay could clearly feel the difference in the pressure from the outside of the room and inside of the room. Of course, he could also feel the difference in the level of aura.

Jake's aura was at least twice as much as Res and it was quite evident. It was as if Jake wasn't trying to hide it.

But in reality, he was trying his best to suppress all the aura and despite the impression, he was able to emit the aura that was exactly or nearly twice as that much as Res.

'System, show me his profile...', was what Jay asked the system in his mind.

He was curious to see his profile. Well, he had no idea if he could see, he couldn't see much of the information because of his low level. Also, the system sometimes restricted him to see.

Nevertheless, he thought that now he was strong enough to take a look at it.

'What the-'

Jay was surprised. The stats that were shown were beyond his expectations. Never could he imagine such bizarre stats.

'I must be dreaming right?'

He was thankful for the system because he was able to see at least some stats, but then again, he wondered if it would have been better off if he hadn't seen the stats because right now he couldn't gather his thoughts.

Ridiculous, indeed, the stats were way too ridiculous and astonishing.

*gulp*

'Can a human even reach such level of strength?', he asked himself.

Probably he was the one and only person who was SSS+ rank. Well, he had indeed seen Makruin, the Golden Knight, however, even his stats were not as bizarre as Jake's.

But that wasn't what shocked him the most, there was something else that puzzled him.

Indeed, the name, there was no name mentioned. It would be appropriate to say that Jay wasn't allowed to see the name because the only thing that he could see was '???'.

'Why? Isn't his name Jake?'

'Then what's the need for those question marks?', he asked himself.

Not that he received any answers for that. Well, the system had upgraded and was now showing a piece of detailed information.

Jake continued to talk with Telia while Jay took the opportunity to look at his own stats.

'It's been a while since I have seen my stats...'

He had never once heard of the many skills and had no idea as to how he had gained them. Also, now there was a separate section that showed Advanced and Unique skills. Not that he disliked it, but it only made him confuse even more.

'Interesting, I have leveled up quite a bit...'

'Looks like I have to work on the skills...', that was a wise choice.

Of course, if he would practice then he would get better at using them. Needless to say, it would help him in close battles.

Regardless, right after checking the profile, he had the thought about taking a look at something that suddenly came to his mind.

Indeed, it was related to the nine generals. Well, not directly but yes, it was indeed linked with them. He was thinking about the soul cage which he had recieved earlier.

There was absolutely no change in the information that was provided. He wanted to see if the system would have changed some of the information on the sites but it seemed like it didn't affect the originality of the information.

"Jay!"

All of a sudden he heard a loud voice.

"Y-yes!?", he was surprised by the voice.

"Where is your attention, Jay? Sir Jake is calling your name and you are daydreaming?", Telia said in an arrogant tone.

She didn't want to be arrogant, just that it was her habit. She had to look good in front of Jake after all.

"Haha, don't be so rough on him Telia...", Jake laughed it out.

"Let him take h9is time in looking into my information..."

"..."

The moment he said that Jay's eyes widened.

'What the-'

He was taken by surprise. Never did he expect such a statement from anyone's mouth, especially not from Jake or some other stranger.

It was almost as if he knew about the system and was therefore saying that.

While Jay understood what Jake said, Res and Telia seemed a bit confused.

"Pardon Sir?"

"I didn't understand what you meant by that...", Telia basically asked Jake to explain himself.

However Jake had no intention of explaining nor repeating himself. All he did was say, "I want to talk with Jay alone..."

The moment Telia and Res heard that they left the room. Of course, that was because they respected him and knew that it was something important because Jake never showed any interest in any situation unless it was something that was really threatening or interesting.

Res had no idea what they wanted to talk about. Well, he went out of the room anyway right after closing the door.

Now the only ones in the room were Jay and Jake. 

Jay was quite nervous because he had no idea what Jake was going to speak about.

*gulp*

After swallowing a large amount of dry saliva, Jay started equipping himself with weapons. Of course, he didn't want anything bad to happen and didn't wish for such an ending.

But it was best to remain prepared in case the worst happens.

[ You have used the skill Stealth on all the items in the inventory ]

[ You Have equipped the Cursed Daggers ]

[ Attack power doubled ]

[ Defense doubled ]

[ HP recovering rate decreased 50% ]

[ MP recovering rate decreased by 50% ]

[ You have summoned The Hammer Of Darkness ]

[ All your stats have been temporarily increased by 500 points ]

[ Passive Skill Intimidation has been activated ]

[ Usage of all other weapons is denied due to the high-level difference ]

[ Effects of all skills has been risen by 200% ]

[ Recovery rate is increased by 100% ]

[ Partial Body Armor equipped ]

[ Passive Skill 'Ruler Of Darkness' has been activated ]

[ Blood restoration has been increased by 500% ]

The moment Jay summoned the hammer, many notifications popped up with the increased buffs or stat effects which were indeed amazing.

Regardless, he was not in a situation where he could enjoy seeing such buffs. All he could hope was for Jake not to attack him because after seeing his stats, Jay had to think twice before messing him up.

"Sigh, really Jay?"

"Do you really have to equip yourself with the weapons?"

'He saw through my stealth?', Jay was completely shocked when he heard that.

"It's as if you are planning to attack me."

"Come on now..."

"I'm just trying to be friends..."

"After all, I wouldn't dare to offend..."

"The Dark Overlord..."

"..."
