Jace once again wakes up at sunrise and eats a can of beans. He then checks his map and plots out where he is deciding to go today. Jace's place he wants to reach is in the same direction as the hole but instead of going straight Jace would go diagonally to his right.

This would hopefully have Jace arrive at the edge of the woods and to a housing suburb that he wants to investigate. Jace wants to see if he could potentially find if the invaders have done anything to the place. Jace is hoping that they might have set up a camp or something of the sorts.

'If they have set up a base or outpost I will be able to find a lot of them. If I play my cards right I will have a very good way to gain xp and combat experience'.

Jace then checks his phone and finds out that the cell service had finally been cut off. 'That took longer than I would have thought, it is an invasion'.Jace climbs out of his safe house and sets out at steady pace.

On the other planet the black fog figure was receiving a report of the recent invasion from the three horned demon. "Sire, we have control of half of the portal on the other side. The other half we are encountering resistance. Also, we have just sent in the legions of the single horns."

"I see, what resistances?" the figure inquired "The ones the gods have given gifts to, sire." "Humm" The figure pauses to think before saying "Have the single horns had any effect?" "No, sire. No effect yet."

The figure once again pauses to think "Stop any single horns going through the portals with resistance. Send them through the ones we have control and start building bases. Continue sending the scouts though to keep them interested and distracted." "Yes sire, it will be done" The demon bows and leaves the room.

Jace reached the suburb in around an hour with nothing happening on his journey besides hearing a few sounds of animals scampering. As Jace arrives at the edge of the forest he stops for a minute to take everything in. In front of Jace is a wide open area with around 60 to 70 houses that had been set on fire and turned to ash.

As Jace finishes taking in the destruction in front of him he hides behind a tree to stay out of sight. Jace, recovering his posture and mental state, starts to observe his surroundings. Jace, in the distance, sees some tent looking structures next to the woods and starts to move closer slowly. After a little time Jace arrives close enough for him to see what the structures were.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

'Man, I should have gotten a pair of binoculars before the invasion. It would have made this whole process so much easier'. Jace inspecting what was in front of him sees that it was indeed a camp. The camp had around 5 tents and Jace could see some movement in the tents.

'I bet they are taking a break after they did all that destruction'. Jace then tries to come up with a plan. 'I can't beat them all by myself in close combat yet'. Jace sitting there thinking 'I really wish I could just use my exploding hex again'.

After Jace thinks of his exploding hex he has an idea he wants to try. Jace pulls out a throwing knife and draws a hex on it. Jace then throws the knife and sees the hex stay on the knife as well as he can still feel his connection to the hex.

'Bingo' Jace picks up the throwing knife and pulls out his karambits to begin climbing. Jace climbs to the first branch of the tree which is the perfect height for him to see. Jace sees that his climbing had made nothing happen in the base in front of him.

'Using Way of the Raptor and mana it cut the tree like butter and made no sound which I need to remember'. Jace puts away his karambits and pulls out his already prepared throwing knife and 4 more.

Jace starts drawing the hexes as well as trying to passively gain mana which is working perfectly. Jace finishes drawing his hexes and prepares to throw his throwing knives.

As Jace is about to throw the first one he remembers to apply mana to it. 'The tents are probably made of something that is from out of this world, so it is better to be safe than sorry'.

Jace, finishing with his mana, throws the knife's rapid fire and sees then pass through the tents like butter. As they enter the tents he hears the residents start to stir and detonates his hexes. Jace hears a massive boom and watches as the tents and monsters inside of them are torn to shreds.

Jace hears the notification he was waiting for. "Ding, killed 5 scout demons xp gained 500. Due to title effect increased to 600." Jace hearing the notification was music to his ears. 'Man I still can't get over that title effect it seems to trigger for each individual thing that gives me xp.

So even if I earn a lot of xp at the same time, it triggers for everything'. Jace looks at all the bodies of the monsters to be sure that they had died. 'Don't want something to happen just because I was careless'. Jace, seeing that all the monsters were dead, was satisfied and climbed down from his tree.

Jace spends a little longer investigating the destroyed suburb before heading back. 'I bet that the explosion attracted a lot of attention and I don't want to see what it did attract'. Jace arrives back to the safe house safely with another uneventful trip back. He then spends the rest of the day recovering all the mana he lost in the surprise attack.
