An hour passed, but Eon still did not find anything he was capable of hunting. Even a rabbit escaped from his hands.
He sighed, thinking about how stupid he was to trying hunting by himself.
“Oh well,” Eon thought to himself, “I’m only ten, but in the future, I’ll definitely become strong and make tons of money by hunting monsters. Then, Mommy and Daddy will be proud and happy.”
Realizing he could not hunt, he began walking towards the village.
Once he neared the village, he saw smoke rising. He smiled and thought that the village was cooking him some meat as a birthday surprise.
However, getting closer, he frowned. He saw many columns of smoke rising up.
“Why is there so much smoke?” he wondered. Feeling something was not right, he rushed towards the village to check it out.
When arriving at the scene, his stomach clenched and his heart throbbed. The village he returned to was not the one he knew.
All houses in view were being corroded by the deadly flames.
Trotting between the charred huts, he noticed a body bloodied laying on the ground.
"No...No..This can't be real." he muttered to himself. Falling down upon his knees, he asked himself "Why?"
It was then he finally began to understand what happened. It must have been bandits!
“No! No! No!” he screamed out. "Dave.." he muttered, tears streamed down his cringed face.
Getting up, he rushed across the village to his house in search of his parents.
As he went by, seeing every corpse, every person he had ever called his friends, his uncles, his aunts, were all dead. All those he had ever been close to was dead.

After every new body his saw, his heart throbbed in great pain.
Once reaching his house, heslswly trotted to the door. Lifting his right hand to the doorknob he ever so lightly turned it.
"Creak"
Looking in, he instantly collapsed on the ground while tears came down like streams.
He looked at both his father and mother laying across on the ground, their legs and arms sprawled and their body covered in a crimson red.
“Ahhhhhhhh!” he screamed. “This can’t be true.”
"Mom...Dad..." he sobbed.
Clenching his fist till his hand started bleeding, a blue screen appeared in front of him.
Would you like a class change to Avenger? YesNo
Without any hesitation, he clicked, “Yes”
He was a different man now. No longer that loving, caring, and kind boy. He had changed
He would let those that intruded on his life pay. He would rip them apart! He would tear their skin off alive and flesh off their bones! He alone, would be the one that would avenge his family, avenge his village, and avenge himself!
He was the Avenger.
