"WELCOME TO MYRIAD WORLD SYSTEM, AS A NEW CLIENT 009145, YOU HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE CHOSEN TO PARTICIPATE TO BE THE HUNTER"
Joan watch the blue screen quietly; she frowns remembering what just happen earlier;
She was currently going home when a flash of random lightning hit her. That's the last thing she remembers.
Now, she was standing in the middle of the void with a blue screen on her face.

"What is this rpg cliché?"
She murmurs, she tried to look around, maybe looking for someone like a dude with white long hair, a long white beard with a shiny background, while telling her she died and ready to reincarnate. But nope, all she sees is only empty black color.
> "Ding!"
>
> "Mission: complete 3 levels 1 world to level up"
Then the blue screen display change, on the screen, there was a list of familiar movies and anime. Sometimes there were titles she hasn't heard of. She tried to touch the scroll screen on the left side of the screen and it works. She scrolls down until the title start to show 2 stars, but different from the colorful 1 star, the 2 star was currently grey. She scrolls it down for minutes until she reaches the end. At the end of the scroll bar was the three five star world.
She put a hand to her chin and ponder.
"So, all the movies and anime I've seen is in the title list. But what is being a hunter mean? Chosen to participate in what?"
Too many questions and little answers.
"Hunting means I need to fight something; does that mean I need to learn how to fight?"
No one answers her question, just a blue floating screen.
"If it is, then I must choose those worlds where I can benefit most…"
She touches the scroll bar then get it back from the start.
She tried to find anime or movie that can give her direct benefits like captain America and its super-soldier serum, harry potter and its magic, or anime-like Doraemon that can give OP items. But sadly after searching for long, she didn't find anything worthwhile.
"Most of the title here either action movies or a slice of life anime…"
She frowns realizing there was no anime or movies that can give her direct power-up.
"I guess there's no other way than to learn directly…"
After determining what world she needed, she touches it
"Are you sure you want to choose this world?"
There was a choice of [Yes] and [No]
She clicks the [Yes] button and everything became bright.

She looks around and found herself in some kind of funeral, the weather was cloudy and all the people are wearing a black formal dress. The priest was currently giving the last of his sermon.
She was startled as information starts to flow to her brain.
Her name is Elektra Natchios, and the one in the coffin is her mother. According to a past memory, Elektra was going home when she notices that the house was very quiet. Thinking of her mother, she hurriedly climbs to the stairs to the second floor until she stops at the front door of her parents' room. She saw a shadow move under the door making her startled, worrying for her mother, she opens the door and enters only to see a shadow demon looking at her, it was fast and before it leaves on the window, it looks at her then it vanishes. After the shadow demon was gone, she approaches her mother and found blood on her mother's hand, she touches it and found it warm. She inspects her mother and found her body cold, not knowing what happen, she removes the bloodied necklace and then puts her head in her mother's bosom and stare at her waiting for her mother to wake up. Later that day, his father arrives only to find his wife was murdered. When the police arrive, they immediately investigate the crime scene and found that discover wife was killed by a sharp object.

"Elektra say goodbye to your mother…"
She looks up to the man beside her, he was wearing a black formal suit, he has short crop hair, tall and lean. He was Hugo Kostas Nachios, Elektra's father. His eyes were covered by eye bags he wasn't sleeping well base on how tired he looked.
She stares at the casket and hesitated but in the end, she approaches it and throws a white flower at the top of the casket. After doing these, she gets back at her supposed to be father's side and quietly observes around. Most of the people attend the funerals were either business partners or long-distance relatives as she can see that most people here don't seem to concern themselves to the death of her mother instead they attend the funeral for her father base on how they flatter him.
After her father gives his final's speech, the casket was finally lowered it below and start covering it with dirt.
"Let's go, sweetheart"
She nods and walks by his side. Suddenly, she spotted an Asian man with his hair tie, leaning on the tree. He was currently looking at her with an expressionless face. When she blinks her eyes, he vanishes.
-
She was currently in her room with lights turn off, the shadow of the tree outside gives the room a spooky atmosphere.
She looks at the tree shadow and ponders, knowing her enemy was watching her like a stalker, she needs to become strong fast to protect herself.
She remembers why she chooses this movie over others. Elektra was an assassin with a variety of skills. She was fast and deadly, but it's been too long to remember the plot. She only knows that the murderer of her mother was the familiar man she saw earlier at the cemetery. The rest of the story was blank to her. Nonetheless, she chooses this because this is a part of the marvel world. She doesn't know what timeline is this is or is this connected to the main marvel world. But that's not important, this is the best world she can think of that can give her a boost in learning how to fight.
She closed her eyes, even in her sleep, she keeps thinking of plans of how to get strong.
-
On the dining table, she and her dad were currently sharing a breakfast.
"Dad, I want to learn to fight"
His father stops eating his food and put down his cutlery. He looks at her daughter straight.
"Elektra…"
She looks at her father, not wavering a bit.
His father just sighs.
"I'll see what I can do."
She smiles
"Thanks, father."
His father just smiles bitterly look complex at her. He doesn't know how to help his daughter to recover from trauma, the doctor who he hired says her daughter has been traumatized after experiencing personally the death of her mother and she needs special care. Remembering how he found her daughter sleeping on her wife's corpse, he can't help but grip his fist.
"Anything sweetie."
But one thing is for sure, he will do his best to make his daughter happy.
-
On that day, they tried to find an appropriate dojo for her, they visit every known dojo in the city. She began observing them and analyze which is true and which is fake.
> "Ding"
>
> Due to repeated actions, you acquired [Observe (F)] – After observing your surroundings, you have learned to observe tiny details around you.
"So repeating the process can gain me some skills? Good to know."
Then title and name began to appear above those practitioners. She can see various titles like trainee F, -F rank…the highest among them is the E.
She ponders over the meaning of those F and E above them, when she observed the difference between the two, she discovers the difference between F ranker and E ranker base on their skills. Although there were some F rank were stronger by physical traits, they can overpower E rank by brute force, but if they are fighting base on their skills, E ranks still can wipe them on the floor with pure technique. That means the higher their ranking is, the stronger they are.
When she looks at the master of Dojo, she frowns when she saw he was only an Apprentice practitioner (E).
"Dad, let's go."
"Are you sure sweetie? This the most famous dojo we can find."
She just shakes her head in disappointment and didn't say anything. Is she going to learn something, she better learns from the best. She doesn't want to spend her time learning low-level martial arts knowing she can find much better.

It was almost seven P.M and they were on their way to their hotel, she looks at the window and looks pensive. If only she can find Elektra's original master, then she rather finds him directly than look for a professional street performer.
While she was pondering on her own, an old man with white hair was walking on the street holding a stick. He was walking normally and nothing out of place on him, but if you look closely at his eyes, you know that he was blind.
Joan subconsciously stares at the old man and suddenly her eyes bulge.
"Dad stop the car!"
His father was almost shocked making him order the driver to stop, Joan and Hugo were thrown forward due to sudden stop but Joan open the door immediately before her dad grabs her.
"Elektra!"
She heard his father's voice but still ran after the old man.
After minutes of chasing, the old man enters the alley, when she followed him, she was startled when the old man vanishes.
"Looking for someone?" an old man's voice sounded behind her
She suddenly turns around only to face the mysterious old man.
She didn't say anything and look at his title.
[Martial art Master (B)] [Stick the immortal] [Leader of Chaste]...
She tried to observe him, but she can't get any more information base on how low her observation skill is.
She looks again at the old man, he was smiling kindly at her, if she didn't have the observing skill, she doubts if she will find this mystical old man.
"Elektra!"
She didn't divert her eye and look directly at the old man.
His father finally caught to her and breathing hard.
"E-Elektra, you shouldn't run like that, what if you get hurt?" he was wheezing from the long chase making him rethink of working out.
She bows her head to her father
"Sorry dad, I wasn't thinking"
His father just sighs and shakes his head.
"Don't do it next time you hear me?"
"Yes father"
"Good."
Then he looks at the old man curiously, the old man also observes him.
"Umm hello, sorry for bothering you."
The old man just nods and looking pensive
Joan bite her lip and look at the old man
"Old man, can you teach me martial arts?"
His father gawk and look at the old man, he looks at him upside down and frown, the old man was just…old. There was nothing special about him that screams he was a martial arts practitioner.
The old man looks at the kid curiously
"Why do you think I know martial arts?"
"Because you were blind."
Both her father and the old man gawk
"Elektra, that's disrespectful! Apologize now!"
She just purses her lips. She can't think anything to say, she can see his title but he didn't show a tiny shred of martial arts. She doesn't know how to convince this master to teach her.
The old man gawks for a few second and laugh. Her father just coughs in awkwardness.
"Child, you think I know martial artist because I'm blind? That's an interesting concept haha!"
Joan frown, trying to think of an explanation of how to convince this old man.
"Elektra maybe we should- "
"I notice that you walk normally even thought you were blind."
The old man stops laughing and looks at Elektra curiously.
"You didn't even bump to a single person, post, or post box while walking."
The old man nod.
"Good, let's say I know martial arts, but how does my walking blindly related to it?"
"Stick"
"Huh?"
"You're holding a stick"
"So what if I'm holding a stick, can an old man have a stick?"
Joan looks at the stick for a second then looks back at the old man.
"The stick never touches the ground. As a blind person, without a stick was the same as not having a compass. The stick can represent your eyes and guide you on your way and direct you to your destination. But grandpa, you never let the stick touch the ground, so how can you walk without your "eyes?"
Her dad gawks and looks at the blind old man in wonder.
The old man looks at her for a second the grin and then he laughed
"Haha, what an intelligent child. Good, good, I indeed didn't use the stick."
He then turns around
"Follow me."
Elektra breathe in relief and follow the old man
"Elektra wait!"
