Yerin quickly activated her stealth skill and entered the ominous‑looking S‑Rank gate. During that process, nobody had noticed her. 'The skill is working!', Yerin was satisfied.
Inside the gate, Yerin saw wrecked skyscrapers and a grey sky, creating an eerie atmosphere.
Boom.
A thunderous tremor terrified Yerin, making her want to go back home, to the orphanage. But Yerin thought of the poor hunters who had to be fighting strong monsters. Since Yerin had become a superior hunter, she was responsible for saving other people.
Yerin clenched her tiny fists.
'System, which skills do I have?'
The system instantly responded, showing Yerin her skills.
[Freezing Fog (SSS‑Rank): The user can wield ice and snow freely for attacking and defending. Effective for almost all monsters. In other words, this skill makes you invincible!]
[Body Strengthening (S‑Rank): Increases strength, endurance, and speed by 100%. Use this skill when you are tired!]
[Stealth (S‑Rank)]
[Currently, you only have three skills. Raise your level to gain more skills! You can do it! ^^]
After reading the explanation, Yerin created a snowstorm with ease. She could feel her body becoming one with the snow, having absolute control over her ability. Her eyes flashed blue, glowing intensely.
If anyone saw this scene, they would be scared out of their wits. A small child was standing inside a snowstorm, her eyes radiating an unreal blue light. She would definitely be mistaken for a monster in human form.
Yerin followed the thundering noise and arrived at a bloody scene. A worn‑out hunter was facing several basilisks. The hunter's face and body were covered in blood. He was staggering, disoriented, while the basilisks were watching him with greedy and hungry eyes.
[Great job! You've found your ◻◻◻◻◻ ◻◻◻◻◻◻◻ ◻◻◻◻◻ ◻◻◻◻!]
Yerin frowned. The characters were encrypted for some reason.
'System, didn't you say that he is my real family? Shouldn't you show me who he is? Don't be so secretive.'
[I am not secretive! Somehow, I cannot display the characters properly.]
[Anyway, save him quickly!]
Yerin turned to the basilisks and released ice blades that cut the basilisks down mercilessly. The basilisks collapsed, making the ground tremble.
The anonymous hunter looked at Yerin with widened eyes.
His grey eyes looked utterly confused. "A child?", he muttered. "Am I getting crazy?" "I have to evacuate all civilians…"
The hunter passed out, mumbling incoherent words.
Yerin slowly approached the hunter.
