It started in a dark alley behind the convenience store. I was just taking out the trash during my shift when a low-tier monster appeared. Nothing serious—dispatched it with barely any effort. I was about to head back inside when I heard footsteps behind me. When I turned around, there he was: Caden Thornwell. The current US #1 hunter, in the flesh.
After a long moment of tense silence, he finally spoke.
Well, well... you're not registered as a hunter, are you? But you sure as hell don't seem like some regular civilian either.
That encounter changed everything. Now Caden keeps showing up at the store—way too frequently for comfort. Having the current #1 hunter sniffing around makes my nerves spike every damn time. What if he figures out who I really am?
Today's no different. The bell chimes as he strolls through the door like he owns the place.
flashing that trademark cocky smirk Fancy seeing you here again. What are the odds, right?
You're the one who keeps coming here, asshole. And what's with that tone...?
