*Bam**Bam**Bam* - I hear that someone’s at my door slamming it with powerful punches.

"GET UP ZACK!!!!!!!!" I recognize a voice which is my moms.

"What Mom?" I answer lazily but sincerely.

"All you do is sleep! Where did all your ambition from before go!” She said angrily.

“Whatever are you talking about my beloved mother? I’ve been training all night where you close your eyes and slee-go into a trance.” I answer with confidence.

Damn it! I forgot today is the day I had to go on monster hunt for the first time!

“You just were going to say you were sleeping! Weren’t you!” Mom screamed and I could feel shivers.

“No! I said no such thing!” A white lie could hurt no one.

“If this goes on you can never be a thief, let alone a hero. Go and KILL MONSTERS!” This time the door could not hold it anymore and broke down.

This hurt my pride.

“Okay mom, but you didn’t need to break the door down.”

“Will you get ready and go?” Mom asks calmly and coldly. I feel a bit eerie now.

“OK, mom.” – I give up.

‘Guess I can’t always neglect my duties’ Thinking that I started to get ready to go to Rosemary forest to hunt monsters.

Ok time for some introductions. I am Zack Dragoneel, age 12, son of the village chief, Arthur Dragoneel and his wife, Maria Schneider. My mentality is quite mature for my age If I do say so. I am quite good looking for most of the people here with my uncommon trait of having white hair and red eye (Self Praise). Currently I am wearing my new iron armor and gauntlets with boots. And my fighting equipment is a katana type of sword and two daggers. Now I am heading towards Rosemary Forest.

I don’t understand the meaning of a must to hunt monsters, upon where young people are supposed to study, or go to school, now people go to random forests or somewhere else to hunt monsters and there goes my dream of meeting a girl and getting settled. Oh I am already here.

Here I am, looking at a horned…….. Bunny? Not sure what to call it since I don’t go out much besides training in my courtyard and gaining a lot of knowledge for….. well let’s say it’s for biological purpose. Now onwards to the battle!!!

“I swear I am going to kill you bunny, yes. I am gonna kill ya!” After that me and the bunny got into a staring contest and I lost my patience and run towards bunny and give it a roundhouse kick but it dodged it and came towards my face with its horn at full throttle, but I block it with my katana and deflect it and soon after not giving any space I slash at the bunny, but to my horror the bunny disappears and reappears on my behind and *THE PAIN*!!!!!!!!

“FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! Is that your damn fucking horn in my ass!”

This time I in rush of my adrenaline I successfully impale the bunny and emerge victoriously or lying and rolling in pain victoriously. I quickly apply some healing magic on my ass and it feels great now. Do not interpret it in the wrong way.

Suddenly I got a little urge of energy improvement. I got stronger!!!! But to think I got strong from just killing a simple horny *Cough* horned bunny, how weak am I?

But win is a win. I rejoice! I rejoice! I rejoice! For my first kill!!!!

Now to check for the loot. What did I get? Huh? Horned Bunny meat, Horn and a pelt. Eh, pretty good I say, not bad at all. Maybe the day I become a hero is not far at all.

After that I hunted more of the same monsters and at one point I had thought of giving up but then the beautiful, yet horrifying face of my mom had popped up in my mind. I give up the thoughts of giving up and continue and at the end of the day I got 8 pelts, 2 horns, and 3 kilograms of horned bunny meat, all of which number up to 10 horned rabbits worth of kill.

After facing these ordeals I return home to get my rewards of glorious horned bunny stew.
