In the dead of the night through a quite street a black clocked hooded figure was walking on a deserted street path . But his walking pattern was a little strange . The figure was walking some distance and then stops then again starts walking . Repeating like that the figure was advancing onwards to the other direction of the street . Along with his strange walking style the situation there was also pretty much strange . You might be wondering why do you say that . The street was pretty big and long in length with skyscrapers standing on the both sides . 

If thats all there was then there was nothing strange to it but considering the situation of the street path ,and the walls of the houses then it would look certainly strange .

You might be wondering what was the conditions of the street walls and paths .

Nothing much just the street looked like it was abandoned apparently for more than a century and marks of fighting and dried blood patches could be seen here and there . Along with big silky cobwebs some unknown skeletons littered around there .

The figure was walking on the street quietly without making any footstep noises when suddenly there was a faint noise and the walking figure stopped on his track . The figure was alert and looked around to pin point the source of the sound . But after looking around sometime without any success the figure started to walk again making sure its safe .

The hooded figure was almost reached the end of the street where the street meets the city square . In this nick of time when apparently the figure had relaxed his vigilance a little a weird creature lept toward him from the shadows of one of the buildings . The creature was extremely fast . In a matter of seconds it was almost on the figure . But even in the sudden ambush and with its extreme speed ,it failed to catch its prey . It slid down the concrete street path and stoped a distance away creating long marks .

Even in the face of the sudden ambush from the monster the figure reacted as fast as the monster if not more ,which was unbelievable because that speed was inhuman . Looking at the figure it was a male human and also of young age approximately in his early 20s . And it looked like the figure has some superpower . Some lightning arcs were coming out from the figure's body downward to earth . Some electricity were also could be seen flowing in his finger tips . After evading the monster's ambush he got the time to observe the monster that attacked him . 

It was a weird looking creature . Its form was neither a beast nor a human . It has the upper part from head to the waist of a human female and lower part of a giant spider . With its odd disposition it looked equally beautiful and terrifying .

It has eight spider legs on the lower part and on the upper part where there should be human hands there were giant sickle like hands . This monster was a spider type mutant commonly known as 'Arcane ' . It was a rare type mutant in ' C ' rank monster category . It was as such described in the illustration book of the great Arimoth . The Arimoth was a bard , explorer , geologist who was famous for his illustrations on various types of monsters available or came to existence after great earth evolution . 

After knowing that it was a arcane monster he threw a sharp knife towards the moster without giving a chance to the monster to react to him . When the monster crossed its sickle like hands to defend the incoming projectile ,the figure came to the back of the monster . He swing a blade in the direction of the moster where human part and spider part were connected . On his sward a light blueish lightning were flowing through . The blade connected the flesh of the monster and its upper part got separated from its lower part . Then the monster started to burn . The figure remembered that arcane monsters were weak against fire or lightning type attacks . And he was a lightning type user , thats why he took this job . After he finished the monster he was ready to leave the place but six to seven more arcane monsters jumped out from the nearby buildings toward him . 

" Damn " 

He cursed seemingly remembering some important information about arcane monsters . In the illustration book , it was described that the arcane monsters never lives alone . They live creating a group of nests . So it was stated that if you ever see one arcane monster nearby then be ready to face a ton of arcane monsters . And now he was going to face that how can he forgot this detail . These creepy crawlies would be bringing their whole families from every generation of their to hunt him down . He didn't want to lose his life here . Thats why without wasting anymore time he created a circle of lightning around him to make this seven monsters away from him . It would take heavy toll on him because of the circle but he had no options . Two monsters attacked him but they were cought fire when they came very close to him and got in the contact with his lightning circle . Looking at the two injured members other monsters didn't got close to him but encircled him from a three metres distance . He threw a knife towards the core of the monster on its chest embedding lightning power on the knife . Due to the extreme fast speed of the trajectory the knife embedded on the targeted position . The monster couldn't react to it . Getting in cantact with the knife the core burst apart and produced a loud explosion . Taking this chance he bolted out and ran towards his parked bike . He has parked his bike near a destroyed lamp post in the middle of the city square . He quickly reached his bike and started . His bike looked like a little futuristic ,like his bike has jet engine and his bike was levitating . The vehicle looked like egg shaped with silvery metalic texture . With his levitating bike he navigated very smoothly in this ruined world . To check his pursuers he looked back and got the scare of his life . On the building walls , on the path those arcane monsters were everywhere . It was like a big tsunami, these insect monsters were pursuing him . He raised his speed more but the monsters were still catching up to him . Some roads were blocked by other damaged vehicles ,fallen skyscrapers . But he didn't decrease the speed instead increased more . With a zigzag pattern he crossed the obstacles . 

After an hour of riding and monsters on his tail he reacher where very high walls with encircled fire came to his vision . Due to the high temperature radiating from the fire the monsters gave up the chasing and retreated . He was also relieved that they gave up . He activated his anti fire mechanism of the bike and entered the path through the wall to outside world .
