-Order of Light City-

"Did you hear the new rumor? The mysterious man who slaughtered the hobgoblins did it again! This time the Ogres were his prey. Ogres are way stronger than hobgoblins too!"

"I heard it! They said he wears a hood and wearing a cape. They said he was protecting his identity. He used a dagger this time and slashed every throat of the Ogres. Nasty, if you ask me,"

Random rumors around the city can be heard. And I thought I controlled myself this time. Oh, Jeez.

"Hey, Scy there you go! You were right. Our defensive masteries went up really good!" Akko excitedly said.

We met up after the training.

"That's good to hear, mine also increased a bit. How about we grab a bite?" I'm seriously hungry.

-Light's Tavern-

We went to the tavern once again and fed ourselves with good and satisfying food.

"Hey, fellas. Did you hear the rumor? The Reaper did it again," The tavern keeper said.

"What Reaper are we talking about now?" Showing a curious look but deep inside, I already know who was it.

"He's the one who slaughtered the Hobgoblins. The other players call him The Reaper because he kills the monsters like a Death God. This time it's the Ogres. Jeez. Ogres are so totally scary because they're ugly," He said with a face of a bit scared. That's what scared you? The Ugly face? Really?

"Oh, that guy, I'm not that interested,"

"Anyways, if you met him don't get too close he might get mistaken and kill you out of the blue." Am I that bad? I only kill bad people and monsters.

"Aren't you interested Scy? I think he's cool! Like a monster hunter!" Elou excitedly said.

"Nope, I don't think he wants attention that's why he hunts by himself... maybe,"

"Jeez, what a Kill Joy. Don't mind him Mr. Tavern Keeper and thanks for the info," Elou smiled at him while drinking.

After that hearty meal, we decided to hunt this time for loot. We asked the Tavern Keeper the best spot and he said that if we can hunt the Giant bear he was talking about. The guild would really pay us handsomely which made us more excited.

"So, you heard the man guys, to the Giant Bear!" Elou excitedly said.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

"They said the Giant Bear is really strong, are you sure we can defeat it by ourselves?" I worriedly asked. I thought I could hunt it by myself.

"Yes, of course, we are stronger now. After all the hunting, exploration and training, I'm pretty sure we can manage somehow," Overconfidence is bad. You might get killed by it.

"Okay, we can always run if we can't defeat it. Just stay close guys," I strictly suggested.

-West of Order of Light City-

We went to the west of the city trying to look for the giant bear but so far, we don't have a clue where to look. Also, tigers can be seen from far away. If they get hungry, they might attack us.

"Sorry guys, my tracking mastery is quite low. That's why we're having a hard time looking for it," Elou apologized.

"It's ok. No one really has expected that you even have a tracking mastery." I smiled at him.

"Jeez, anyways I think the bear is around this way because the tracks show that he went this way not long ago," At least you can find some clues that might lead to the Giant Bear.

We searched the whole area but we still can't find it. Maybe it was already have been hunted by some hunters. If I remember it correctly, burning sugar would attract bears. I read it somewhere though I can't remember when and where.

(Class Unlocked: Hunter) I guess hunting monsters really is for hunters.

"Hey guys, do you have sweet food there, which has a large quantity of sweetness?" I hope they don't think I'm into sweets.

"Well yeah, do berry candies count? I bought them earlier," Akko showed me... a lot of it.

"We could try. Can I have them?" I asked for some, this might work.

"Sure. No problem," She handed some of it.

We need to create a giant smoke for the Giant bear to smell it somehow. I don't know if this would work but it's better than nothing I guess.

We gathered some dry woods and leaves to create fire. If I burn the candy it might disappear in an instant so it's better to just smoke it for it to last longer and reach the Bear nostrils if it's near us.

I created a fire and smoked the candies. We waited for a while but I think it didn't work. No signs of any bear. We sat down for a bit to plan what's our next move.

The sky is bright. Stars and Moons can be seen in the sky. Yup, I said moons because currently, we have three moons in the game. We heard a story about the moons and the sun. They said that the three moons are the three Gods who are racing for the love of the Goddess Sun but until now, none of them even had the chance to catch up to the Goddess Sun. Also, the moons' positions change from time to time. It's like random and no one can explain why. The Gods are longing for something they can't reach. They are doing their best but their dream is still impossible. Kind of sad story but who cares.

We can hear loud footsteps getting closer and closer. It must be the Giant bear.

"Guys let's go hide in those bushes and trees. I think the Giant Bear is getting closer and closer," We should be ready and prepare an ambush in case it shows up.

"Hey Scy, you're plan worked. I can see the bear from here because it's bright tonight," Elou has better eyesight than any of us because of being an archer.

It was the Giant Bear! He looks angrily hungry. You can see his eyes shine like a ruby. Those vicious teeth which can easily crush anything even a stone and claws that can reap off any kind of bones.

Today is our lucky day! A bear head means a large amount of cash.

The Giant Bear looked around looking for the sweet smell. It got disappointed when he saw the fire. Fire is the natural enemy of animals. They hate it. I don't know why, though.

Elou shot his arrow towards the head of the giant bear but it only scratches it. Man, it looks tough!

"ROOOOOOOOOOAR!" The Giant Bear cried furiously.
