As we know reached the station, I started to get my things in the [dark storage] and the old man took his bag and we started to go out of the train.
As I got off the train, I saw the greenery of the forest before us, it was beautiful but at the same time alluring. I then saw Ron.
"Let's go kid. We have a long way to go.", He said.
As suddenly, he stood up properly and was not hunched back anymore.
"Wow, Old man how the hell did that happen?", I asked curiously.
"Cybernetics. I was a cybernetic engineer in the senate before they discovered I was a demon hunter.", he said.
"Let's go.", as he said he started to ran towards a certain direction, I immediately followed him.
As now, I saw him suddenly get more young and very agile.
"The hell is your cybernetic, old man?", I said.
"It makes you young as well."
He then replied, "It's a spinal exoskeleton, I ca use it for about a month per year."
"Old man, which cybernetic do you think suits me.", I asked.
"For now, I think you don't need any.", He replied.
"Why?", I asked curiously.
"Cause your body heals at a higher rate than anybody else. At the same time, you can take horrible trauma on your mind without letting it affect your brain. I also saw you are insanely agile. So, it's better you don't do any.", he said.
"It's a bummer.", I said as now I was sad.
Ow we continue to run through the forest; the sun was slowly setting but I notice something. When Ron described the forest; he said it was dangerous but I don't see any monsters. That must mean something is wrong.
I thought what could he be cooking now to test me, as I unknowingly started to smile.
I at that time didn't know but my brain chemistry was slowly changing but I know the only person who knew was Noel.
"It seems like he is progressing.", Noel said.
[1.7% synchronization]
"Now time well tell.", Noel murmured.
"Alright kid, we will camp here for the night.", Ron said.
As I stayed on alert, the sky quickly became dark and we set up a camp. The only problem was no matter what we couldn't lit a fire as the forest had many trees which emitted a combustible gas which could then turn into a forest fire.
I then used my [Darkness fire], as it doesn't get affected by any gases but only my [Dark reserve].
We then sat and ate a CHIC – 475.
Now as the time passed, I felt something wrong, I decided to ask.
"Old man, do the monster come at night?", I asked.
"Yeah, they do.", he replied.
"Now go and kill for the whole night. I want to see how many days can you function without sleep?", he said.
"God damn, old man just kills me instead.", I said as I started to make my way to the dense forest.
As I was walking, I couldn't see anything in the darkness I immediately activated my [Cruel Eyesight]. I then saw silhouettes of many monsters in the forest getting ready to attack me.
I then rushed towards one of them which looked like a wolf and stabbed him with my sword, the next thing I know I was about to be chased by 90% of the forest or at least it felt like.
[System update completed.]
"Oh nice", I said as I dodged some other wolves and tried to kill it.
[Some new stats have been added.]
[Your System can now issue quests.]
"Nice."
"Show me thew stats.", I said as I fought those monsters.

"Nice, it looks good.", I said.
As I proceeded to kill anther wolf.
"Let's continue my hunting.", I said.
….
As I was hunting, I didn't kill the ones which were not hostile to me.
It sounds hypocritical I know but what can we do. So, I decided I will make a 70 cm circle and not from it and the animal which will come way with the intent to kill, I will kill only them.
"Let's hope no other monsters come my way.", I said as now the ground was litter with corpse of monsters.
"What is the time?", I asked as I looked in my watch.
[5:49 AM]
"So, it is about to be morning."
I then started to look at the messages which were not seen by me while I was hunting.

And then I proceeded to put all of the monster corpse on my [dark storage] as either I can sell their leather or make the armor with it.
"Let's see my total reserve now"
[Dark essence: - 80]
"Nice, I got a lot."
"Let's go and look for our old man", I said as I ran towards our camp.
As I know walk towards the camp site I know saw a man in an oni mask and a dark sword.
I immediately use my [Cruel eyesight] and found out it was Ron.
"Old man, you into cosplay these days.", I joked.
"Kid, its time you learn some demon hunter oaths which we take", he said in grim voice and I listened carefully.
…
[Summit of the hunt.]
A recording of the fight between Eon and the train demon was being projected.
"He is good, fast, cunning but still lacks a lot", the first person said.
"He is good but he does not have any idea how to fight but only knows how to kill, what if he has to subdue a demon.", said the second person.
"Whenever a demon hunter goes to fight a demon, he does not subdue but kill them so that was a useless objection on your part.", the third person said.
"Who all agree for him to be in the Hunt?", the first person asked.
Out of 10 people, 5 agreed 3 denied and 2 remain neutral.
"Alright, when he comes here we will see if he is worthy to be one."
