FANTASY GENRE

Since the beginning of time, there was more than human on this earth. There were things that existed
beyond our limitation and ruled, those which called the Fantasy Creatures.

Hi, my name is Damien Frost, not so much of an ordinary high school student and a Hunter. Not the kind
that hunts those poor, desperate for protection, normal animals. It is the kind that makes you regret to continue
reading these lines.

It is all started a couple of years ago. My parent was off, far far away for some business trip and barely
contact me. and it is fine for me after all. I was raised by my uncle, Luthor, who always comes home early but
always leaving after my bedtime. I did not notice much of the signals. He has taught me a lot type of martial arts
since I was a kid, whenever he felt like to. Hence, I was so good at fighting and using deadly weapons. I cannot
notice the fact that he let 5 years-old-me use his tactical dagger is a strange thing until I grew up. Not until
something tragic happened that he drops a ton of information on my head. When I was 6, the only friend of mine,
Harry, got in an accident. Harry and I, both love exploring, decide to travel into Central Park in the middle of the
night, see who would last longer under an old bridge. When I got there, I saw a huge man, with only one eye in the
middle of the forehead, and teeth just as sharp as a shark, I got out of there as fast as I can. As I tried to warn Harry,
he got in and never returned. Many years later, I know that Cyclops was waiting for me, but instead, he got Harry.

After that tragedy, no one believes me about the man with one eye, except Luthor. He explained to me that he is a
Paladin, just like hundreds of others in the world. Since the dawn of civilization. Seven of the origin Hunters formed
a group called The Servant. They then separated into each part of the world and sworn to protect the world from all
the monsters, or Fantasy Creatures, that mankind has long forgotten about their existence. If those monsters have the
intent of attacking the human world, the Servant will hunt them till the last one and if those monsters invade the
world, the Hunter is the only line of defense.

“ Our family has a long and ancient history, Damian. We, the Frost, are all Hunters by blood. Our ancestor, Aneaous
Frost, was the first and one of the original seven hunters who formed the secret brotherhood of the Servant. Stories
tell that the Origin Sevens stole the power of gods and then use it to protect humans. It is told that those power rise
and sleep through generations.”

At that point, I had so many things to cover. My family, the history of it, and basically a whole hidden layer
of monsters in this world. It took me a couple of days to process the entire thing and after that, my uncle said it is
time for me to get some serious training in order to join the Servant, to earn my place as a Hunter. He sent me into
The Camp, some sort of boarding school, which belonged to the Servant. This is the place where young Hunters are
trained. Luthor said that New York is the holy land of the Frost family since the beginning of the United States
already and he wants my help to defend it. Demon usually concentrates more in this area for some reason.

Despite the fact that my training with uncle Luthor was pretty tough, it is nothing compared to the journey
to the hell of the Camp. All the exercises with weapons such as katana or tactical dagger are dangerous, also fun, but
most deadly dangerous.

While I almost finished my Hunter Course and the camp, there was this terrible new, my uncle had been
kidnapped, and New York was in no place for defense. I was sent on the mission of retrieving him with some of the
other students at The Camp. Some of them are even better than me at being a hunter. But I don’t trust them or know
how to talk to them, so whatever. I can handle this situation myself.

Victoria, one of my classmates and the one who was just as good as me, come nearby.

“ I know you have always worked alone. You are the descendants of Aneaous Frost, you may or may not
possess the power of a god, but if you want to save your uncle, then you need to work with us. Even god can’t fight
alone.”

Didn’t look up, I still focusing on my ring. It quickly turned from a typical golden ring into a gold dagger.
It reflected my face, loose long black hair, dark green eyes, look like they were tired of everything. The dagger was
a deadly weapon which was belonged to my mother. I integrated it into the gold magic ring a long time ago, so I can
always carry it with me. I stood up, walked away into the hall, did not forget to reply.

“ Then you must have mistaken the definition of god. Being god means that being on top and being on top
is being alone.”

I think she was pissed because she then said this.

“ But you are not the best, aren’t you?”

I turned around, smirk.

“ No, but I am better than this than any of you, aren’t I?”

There cannot be another Harry. I cannot let that happen. Again. People shouldn’t be around me. It is way
too dangerous.

She didn’t have a chance of calling me a jerk because there was an explosion. It made the hall looking like
some sort of giant hive since there were like dozens of holes on the wall. It turned from a bunch of small holes into a
crushed hall when a gigantic hell hound. Yes, it was hell hound, you did not read that mistakenly. This makes no
sense since The Camp was protected very carefully, by experienced and skilled Hunters. Monster or humans can’t
get into here without permission. There was definitely some kind of spy and traitors here. I think I can get Victoria
out of the list since she has been here with me when the hound came in. I did not have much choice. It is either
finding another hunter, who can possibly the traitors and killed me, or stayed and fought with this gigantic hell
hound. I yelled at her.

“ Go away, Victoria. You cannot fight this monster.”

She screamed back at me. “ We are apprentice Hunter, we are not yet planned to deal with this kind of
attack. No one can fight this hound alone. Are you insane or something?”

“Something. Now get out of here. One of us must stall him. You go get some help.”

She hesitated for a moment then ran away. She will be fine. I will stall this long enough.

On the back of the Hell Hound, a dark knight with shiny black armor and a giant sword appeared. Oh great,
fighting the hound and some unknown villain lookalike knight.

I cannot think of any better decision, so I ran into the hell hound knight with everything I have got
throughout the training session. Hunters' body is usually way more advanced than ordinary humans. We are faster,
stronger, have better immunity, some may possess special skilled or overwhelming power. I jumped off the ground
about seven feet and landed right on the hound’s head. It did not feel happy about it at all. My ring quickly turned
into a long katana.

The dark knight and I had a tough fight on the back of the hound. Our sword clashed and they sparked. It
seems like the dark knight is way better than me at using sword. Fortunately, I am no easy enemy. The enormous
black armor makes the knight slow down a lot and the fact that my ring turned into dozens of weapons under a
minute is really an advantage for me. It is hard fighting with a sword which can turn into a small dagger in half a
second. The hound then threw both of us down, which caused the helmet of the knight to fall down.

That knight was no one else but my uncle, Luthor. I was confused, why was he attacking the Camp. People
told me that he has been kidnapped, but here he was, fighting me.

“ Why?”

“ I’m sorry, Damian, but this is for the greater good. Humanity is not worthy of this world. The monsters will
wipe them out.”
 “ What now? You want to destroy mankind?

“ I think you know the answer to that. They are the virus. Human poisoned this world, day by day, hour by
hour. If you let them live more, there will be no place left to live. In this building contain the gate to Tartarus, the
gate of the monster, the chain of hell. Once I destroy it, the duty will be fulfilled. If you want to help me, I cannot be
pleased more. But if you stand against me, then I don’t have any other choice.”

“ So you will kill me now? Your nephew?”

“ I sabotaged your parent’s plane when they tried to talk with the Servant about my plan and that is the
hardest thing that I have ever done. But I think this will be even harder.”

I was completely shocked. I was raised by the person who killed my parents. My anger came out of control.

Luthor came at me like a whirlwind.

My feeling took over. I dodged and slashed and rolled, but I felt like I was fighting a hundred swordsmen.
The hound ducked to one side, trying to get behind me, but my ring was faster. It turned into a rope with an iron
spear's head. It swirled around the hell hound’s neck around ten times before it stabbed into its forehead. The rope
then returned into a rapier. I tried to attack in the loophole of the armor. But as I did that successfully, he gets a
secret knife hung behind his back and stabbed me with it.

I then passed out because of blood loss.

I woke up at the Camp’s infirmary, where Victoria stands beside my bed.

“ Your uncle has not yet dead, but he is being prisoned very carefully at a facility of the Servant. You are
fortunate to be alive. He will be there for quite some time until the council decides his fate.”

“What about me?”

“For your victory, you will be ranked up. You have shown your abilities, and will be sent to some missions
soon. Your uncle is not the only enemy The Servant has ever face.”
