The evacuation of the many Valkyries and civilians back to Sellaria. Helicopters and airplanes were flying about as Raven was eating an MRE issued by the Rosenfelt military. He was inside his own tent which was by a military airport. It was something he preferred instead of a cozy room. A cozy room is for when he's at peace, he's better off here.

"You do not have to eat that sort of food, Hunter Raven."

"I came here to work, Laria. Not to sit around and do nothing." Raven said as he chewed on the incredibly dense biscuits. Laria made some hot chocolate for him. He took some sips, dipping the biscuits into it. Letting it sink as he pushed the floating pieces down with a spoon.

"Thanks. So how bad is it on the frontline?"

"It has improved drastically. Civilians are being brought to Sellaria and Valkyries are now being prepared for an offensive measure instead of defensive. This is our latest reports." Laria handed a tablet where Raven took a hard look into it. Grasping the situation as the offensive would be at a frontline. This offensive however, was only meant to subjugate the upcoming wyvern army. Now the Lich also has a few more allies in the mix, that being demons. However, what was noticeable was a human figure in their midst.

A blue mask of a demon skull. Sure, that may seem like nothing and the skin was charred black. At a first glance it can't be a human but, Raven could see through that façade. It was an S-Rank Hunter who came from some other country. Perhaps trying to stir up Rosenfelt. Rosenfelt had plenty of enemies as a result of their freedom, particularly from Narse Republic and Primrose that were trying to find ways to get Rosenfelt's Valkyries under their control.

Not that Raven could blame them, Valkyries were known for their powers. Equal to that of a Hunter. A mass produced Valkyrie was able to outperform a B-Rank Hunter on many occasions, so it makes sense why they want Rosenfelt to fall. If it fell, the surviving Valkyries will have nowhere to go. That's how the scenario should've played but things change.

"Hey, Hunter!" Raven turned to Elara who walked into his tent with Maximus.

"We're going to the frontlines. Are you coming with us?" Mako asked, as Raven could see her cat ears twitch.

"Shooting reptiles, might be fun right? Come on, join us!" Vale grinned as she shouldered her machine gun.

"Yeah. Let's go." Raven said as he left the tent, seeing the many Valkyries steal glances at his appearance. Their eyes were on him, glued to his appearance as Raven held a mask, putting it on his face. Becoming Scorpio, seeing smoke exhausted from the vents by the face plate. Then the 12 lenses began shifting. Twisting inward and outward.

"What.. What kind of skill is that?"

"It's my skill. It lets me borrow the powers of what I went through. This one's called Scorpio. 90% machine. 10% human. Only my brain and heart are the only things that remain. In a way you could say it's similar to you Valkyries. This one had a world that was ravaged by monsters and humanity could only fight back after being augmented with cybernetics. This one's not good at close range combat. If I were to switch on the personality matrix..." Then they see Raven stand with his back straight as a ruler.

"Valiant A515. Model Blood Wing. Codename 'Scorpio'. Scanning area." They see a rod pop up from the shoulder, then unveiling a recon drone that began to hover above.

"Required ammunition list." Then they see paper being printed from the neck area, tearing it out as he placed it in Elara's hands. The recon drone returned to his shoulder, sliding in smoothly. Where Raven switched off the personality matrix.

"Yeah. I talk like a robot. You ready?"

"Cool!" Vale said as they headed into the helicopter's hatch.

"So about this... Scorpio...Is it an alternate dimension?" Elara inquired.

"Yeah. Scorpio was a legend. A part of an ill fated team of Valiants. A member of the First Squad, Valor. Humans in that world had to live underground. I was up in the surface. I think I had been fighting in that world for three thousand years or so. I made a promise to keep fighting until the end. Valor squad lost the commander who led us, and our team leader. The other three Valiants and myself just split up. I chose to be a wanderer who hunted down the monsters. One started a utopia, the second started a business in farmlands and the third became the ruler of the underground. 3 thousand years to get the ability this one had. An ace sniper, but I was the type to run in with a gun at close range. Can't use knives but a gun is the best bet I got. 3 thousand years over there is just a few hours in this world." Raven spoke with his electronic voice, he was grinning at the old memories.

"Those guys.If we had them with us right now. They'd make this job look easy."

"What do you mean? 5 of you guys can handle this many?" Vale chimed in as Raven gave a nod.

"It's not possible right!? Even the Chancellor's squad can't handle an army of this size!"

"We fought against millions of them daily. We ran out of ammo, so I even had to make bows and arrows out of the bones and carcasses of my enemies. Seeing your squad. Maybe it just reminded my time as Scorpio." Raven said, then a system notification popped up.

Due to some Sovereigns and Gods being curious.

They are assigning you a Gacha.

"System... A what now?"

A Gambling system.

This is for you to recruit allies and technology of the worlds you lived in.

You get currency by clearing dungeons and beating enemies.

You have currently received : A free Gacha Ticket has been issued.

"What's wrong, Raven?"

"Right. My system isn't exactly like normal Hunters. Right now... I am going to gamble to get some allies. Yes, system do the pull." In that moment they see a door appearing before them.

Gacha Ticket : Beginner's 10 Pull.

BEGINNING THE PULL!

Vinter: This should be interesting.

Raven just let out a sigh, sometimes the Gods can be much weirder than humans can be. Maybe they'll get addicted to gambling and forget about wars? A far fetched idea but possible.

YOU PULLED.

8 common items!

1 Uncommon item

1 SPECIALLY SUPER RARE ALLY!

The items flew out, 9 blueprints in hand. All 9 were useful for Scorpio. Crushing it as they formed into weapons that used their own unique calibers with at least 500 rounds of ammunition. The SSR ally? The light shining from the door began to radiate as Raven watched someone step out. A humanoid who was similar to Scorpio. Unlike Scorpio's multi-lens helmet, this one had a wolf skull on it. Three blades attached to the hip, lacking any sort of handguard but their design was reminescent to that of a katana.

"Scorpio?"

"Fenris."

Valiant.

"I got the gist of it, didn't think I'd see you brother." Fenris said as he gave Raven a tight hug.

"How's the farm?"

"Going great. No more wars. Monsters are here and there but not an issue." Fenris said as he glanced at the Valkyries. Taking a note of their more human appearance rather than the full on metal that was the Valiants. Fenris's vents exhausted smoke from below.

"How bad is it?"

"A small division of wyverns. But they felt nervous. I was thinking about Valor for a bit." Fenris chuckled as he gave a nod. Taking his seat beside Raven.

"My three wolves are raring to go, so just say the word Scorpio."

"Thanks, Fenris." Fenris glanced out the windows to see the barren lands. Perhaps as a farmer, he must be feeling sad about the lands that he could see.

"A tragedy. This land must be fertile and turned to this state. Planted a lot of good things I see. Paddies, maize, corn, tomatoes and cherries."

"You... You can tell?" Alice spoke up with a gleam in her eye. Beaming at those words.

"I don't know how to put it but I am a farmer. My name's Fenris."

"Is he one of your allies?" Elara inquired where Raven gave a nod as he loaded bullets into magazines for Raven's Eyes.

"He was given the name the Sword of Valor. He's known for his swordsmanship and offensive capability. A frontliner who gets all the attention while I keep to the back and lay down covering fire." Raven said as the helicopter landed, opening the hatch as they stepped out. It was a base that was hastily made with enemies on the horizons.

"Set up turrets! Make sure we have good firing positions and firing lines! I want the barriers up! The civilians are right behind us! Ah, Maximus and the Hunter?" Fenris walked over to the front, glancing at the wyverns that were on their way.

"Hey, Scorpio. You ready?" Raven loaded the magazine into Raven's Eye, as Fenris took a step out of the base.

"Maximus, maintain the suppression. Take up positions as you need. Fenris and myself will force their attention on us." Raven joined Fenris to the frontline as the Valkyries watched how Fenris drew the two katanas, leaping into the air. Howling at the wyverns in defiance as he cut them down. Raven was behind, firing shots as he hid in the rubble of a building.

"Maximus! Begin suppression! Base commander! Continue with defenses! The Hunter takes the lead on the frontline!" Elara ordered as the Valkyries remained on standby, getting the defenses ready as they watched Raven leap into the air with a shotgun in hand, blasting into a wyvern's head. Then using the corpse to dart to the next wyvern, firing another shotgun blast as he pumped it the shell out. Landing on his feet as a dozen wyverns got close, that was when Fenris would slash through them, standing beside Raven.

"So... About the system... All of us got the gist of it. Same goes for the other allies. I saw the commander and captain again. It was great. Your other allies too, they talked about how your actions in those worlds were to correct the loss. Supreme Being Vinter told us that we were worlds he wished to protect but as the God of Destruction. He can't save us, but he can send someone to do that. So he sent you. We saw the many faces that you had and your true name being Raven Ashenworth. But I'll stick with calling you Scorpio."

"Fine by me, so... You saw all of them?"

"Everyone. They wait for you to bring them out through that weird door. I left my farmlands in the hands of someone capable. Humans and Valiants who found peace after the war. Even the regular Valkyries who owe a debt, they chose to join the ranks. We await you to call us." Raven grinned as the wyverns were cut down by the Fenris's Three Wolves.

"Having you here means it'll be easier." Raven said as he turned to squad Maximus that joined the frontlines.

"Begin combat!" Elara fired her battle rifle into the oncoming wyverns, clipping their wings first while Vale unleashed a typhoon of lead that would force the wyverns to fly into a certain formation. Mako took shots with her sniper cannon. Kicking up the dust all around her. Alice took a note from Raven's style, running up the walls of the destroyed buildings as a means to get in range. Firing off shotgun blasts as she used the corpses of the wyverns to dart off to her next target.

"Can't let the ladies have all the fun. I'm going to go ahead. Need to shake off the rust from these joints." Fenris leaped ahead as he began his onslaught. The Sword of Valor. Raven couldn't help but remember how much of a hardhead he was. Stubbornly using the sword when everyone else used guns but Raven helped him a bit with his posture. Now it's perfect, the Wolf that swallowed his foes, a fitting name for that man.

Raven readied Raven's Eye, blasting off shots into the oncoming wyverns that were at a distance. Firing a shot near Fenris's blindspot, keeping his fellow Valor safe with the distant gunfire. Maximus showed good team combination and their combat strategies were sound. Skilled at guerilla warfare, coordinated attacks. They did not have the best aim but they had the spirit that made up for it. Walking over to where Fenris was, standing on top of a few thousand wyvern corpses.

Seeing the wyverns turning away from their location, it was safe to say they were repelled. For now at least. Then Raven saw another pop up.

Items are still being sorted.

Each of these names. They had a meaning. Maxwell and Burroughs were Scorpio's Disciple. The other four Valors are self-explanatory. Abyss Gaze's choices, the Colors of Humanity. Each of them were good at something but Abyss Gaze had killed them all in his rage. Yet, they chose to return to his side? Moonlight Solitude's choices? The three Crusaders are his personal guard, while the two Priestess were the ones who handled the buffs and spells. Wards of protection, hymns as offering and the Cardinal of Malice was a high ranked priest. Unlike most priests that stay away from the frontlines. His hatred for demonic and the undead are so great, that demons called him the Cardinal of Malice. What's funnier? He uses a stick to face the unholy. A literal stick.

Raven was trying to ask himself if he was thankful or if this was convenient.

Persona Shards obtained.

SR++ 10 Pull Ticket.

A-Tier Persona : Flames of the Forest.

F-Tier Persona : The Weak One. (Persona is able to transfigure if given chance).

E-Tier Persona : Henchman of Burisa.

The Weak One. That's a tale of when Raven found himself living in a peaceful realm then being transported into a game-like setting. Finding himself in a video game whereby his memories of that world took over. The Weak One is a side character from a popular VRMMORPG. A side character who was meant to die but that changed when Raven took control. A world that discriminated people based on their Ranks. The constant bullying and the harassment.

I had to do that one three times. To get the full negative karma class, the full neutral class and the full positive karma class. Raven grumbled at the idea of becoming the Weak One once more but that world wasn't so bad. It was satisfying as Raven beat the S-Ranks into submission, then he trained the F-Ranks to overtake the S-Ranks within 2 years. Just the smiles of the ones he saw as children. That was his last trial before returning back to the world.

The henchman? Well that's a criminal. A low ranked member who just handles the tough jobs. All brawn, no brain. But it did give Raven a rough idea about how he was going to fight with his fists or a street fight. Anything goes and beat them until their dead or unconscious.

I must be mentally old. Sheesh, this many notifications and pop-ups can be annoying.

It is required to inform you on the changes.

Out of the Hunters in this world. You're the only one with a sentient system and having administrator access.

Meaning your system works differently from everyone else.

Raven turned to Fenris who walked on over with Maximus.

"What's your evaluation?"

"They're green as grass in my eyes. But, they did tell me about the Valkyries having their own squad of 5 that were similar to us. It's a mirror of us in a way, only that we had you who always wandered to kill monsters. You only took pay for bullets. You'd rescue dozens of people on your own. You used whatever material they had on your body. You became a literal patchwork in that sense. But if we had everyone else. Your allies agreed. We saw your loss and understood that determination of yours. Why you were so madly driven. Then we watched your fight. When the world was reset. Vinter gave us that option. Either come as your ally or leave a legacy for you to carry on. All of them. They said yes. What's surprising is that you have a few Eldritch as friends. Even horrors too." Fenris patted his shoulder.

"You saved our world. We'll save yours brother." Fenris's words had Raven take off Scorpio's mask, where Fenris chuckled to the sight.

"Guess you are the kid brother of Valor. Quite the looker too." Elara and the others came running.

"Hunter, Valiant! We're being deployed to another location." Elara said as Mako brought the documents for him, along hearring the rotors of a helicopter making its way to them. Laria brought a tablet whereby Mako put a memory stick for Raven to read it. Showing it to Fenris who just gave a nod.

"No rest for the wicked."

"That's just how it is."
