PATH OF THE STAR HUNTER

 Chapter 3 I can only capture offers.

<Transport to the world of Serefia: complete, providing newbie equipment: novice bow x1, simple 
arrows x 20, novice steel knife x1, supply backpack x1. >
¨ No, no, I don't want your damn novice gear or be in the middle of a damn gigantic forest in serafia 
or whatever you call it. Just take me home.¨ I exclaimed, incredibly upset and concerned about my 
current situation.
<The rookie training missions have been launched; check your hunter's book for more information.>
¨ Damn it. I don't think that whatever brought me here is reasoning with me. Besides how it sounds, 
it seems like one of those systems that have been mentioned so much in the novels; I hope it's not. 
Frankly, I don't want to see myself being controlled by a shit system that only seeks to fuck me.¨ I 
started an unproductive monologue when I started walking around.
In these circumstances, it is a bloody miracle that I still haven't lost my sanity, although I could have 
lost it already and be locked up in a psychiatric facility right now while delirious. . . yep, I think it is 
better to stay positive.
¨ The voice mentioned something about a rookie mission and a particular hunter's book. It sounds 
like that strange notebook from the name, which is most likely why I am here.¨
While reviewing what I have now with me, I see that the novice bow looks like an outstanding 
quality simple wooden bow. The same can be said for the arrows and the dagger. At least it seems 
that just because it's rookie gear doesn't mean it's useless junk.
Now, where is that damn notebook. . . oh, there it is, resting peacefully in this lovely leather sheath 
tied around my waist. Both items go to a match judging by the unique designs and materials. Only 
one question remains: where did that damn sheath come from.
"How dare you lie there comfortably while I'm in the middle of some godforsaken place" Yep, now I 
insult an inanimate object like crazy.
Five minutes in the middle of nowhere, my sanity has already started to go out the window. Focus, 
Desmond, focus, or you could die in this forest.
Perhaps it was due to all the unexpected changes that came one after another, but my usual 
patience and seriousness seemed nowhere to be found. Luckily, my father isn't here to see me 
because he wouldn't be proud of his son's unprofessional behavior, although I doubt even he would 
find such strange things when he was in the army.
¨ Ok, now to check this thing¨
I take the notebook from its elegant sleeve, so there is no more rest for this wicked notebook; When 
I opened it without any surprise, the same strange diagram appeared, apparently magical from what 
I know so far. But now, for some reason, I can also see some text that goes like this:
< Hunter's book menu>
<status>?
<analysis>?
<missions>?
<locked>?
That's all, quite a bit, to be honest; as if that weren't enough, it looks more and more like a system 
interface like the ones in the novels. If I press the question marks, I can see obvious explanations.
Although I am inquisitive about all this, let's start with the missions that brought me here.
Click.
<Missions>
<Current Mission: Special Training Mission for Novice Hunters.
Explanation: as a descendant of a deceased hunter, the Inter-dimensional hunters association offers 
you the opportunity to become one of us without meeting the prerequisites that we usually demand. 
You must go through special training missions to test the most essential skills necessary to be a 
hunter.
Objectives:
1) Survive in the Serefia forest for seven days.
2) Collect at least three magic fruits with a zero-star rating.
3) Hunt 10 magical beasts with a low-level, zero-star rating.
4) Hunt 1 magic beast rated zero stars, medium level.
5) Have at least 50 records of species (flora and fauna) or magical elements classified as zero stars.
Rewards:
1) Novice Strengthening Serum x 1
2) High-Tier Zero-Star Enchanted Leather Armor. x1
3) High-level, zero-star class enchanted weapon. x1
4) Awakening Serum of Innate Ability x 1
5) Zero-Star Skill Manual Medium-Level x 1.
Notes: rewards vary according to the level of achievement of the objectives, so these can be lower or 
higher than what was previously noted. You will only be able to return to your world after the period 
that the mission lasts, and this failure will result in the erasure of memory with everything related to 
the hunter's book and its loss.>
. . . You have to be kidding me. I have to stay here seven days, maybe if I'm careful I could achieve it, 
as for fruits, it is probably not that difficult to find fruits in a forest, but hunt magic beasts? If they 
look like the mutant beasts I know. . . well, I'm dead.
Really what did I do to deserve this stupid notebook? Hunt seriously? the only thing I have hunted in 
my life is the supermarket offers; do you want to kill me so much?
As a child, I sometimes used to hunt with my father, but that was many years ago, not to mention it 
was before the awakening. No matter how it was, these were my circumstances now, and there was 
no point in crying about what I couldn't change, so I should concentrate on surviving; after all, Claire 
was waiting for me at home.
