The Abandoned Hunter
Chapter 95: New Quest: Gaia's Territory

"Ha?", for a second Jay had started to respect the dragon even more but after hearing what the dragon said he had to withdraw his thoughts.

"Yes, Human... take me with you to the place where you live."

"..."

"..."

There was completely silence for a moment.

"Are you kidding me!!!!?", Jay shouted.

Jay couldn't possibly fulfil what the dragon had asked him since he would be easily noticeable to all.

His power was so large that Jay noticed him even while he was more than 100 miles away so if he were to take him to the campus, then definitely many hunters would come knocking his door and barging into his room to check.

"No, I really want you to do that.", the dragon seemed serious.

"That's a bit...", Jay was hesitant as that would cause him a lot of trouble.

He already had Wolfy and now keeping a pet dragon with him would literally be dangerous to him.

The dragon looked at Jay's eyes but Jay was trying to dodge the eye contact and was averting his eyes.

"Fufu~, if this doesn't work then...", the dragon seemed to be scheming something and that was why it was having a sinister laugh on its face.

Jay felt it creepy and thought that something weird would happen when suddenly the dragon started executing its plan.

"I... I gave you the power to become the strongest hunter of the world but you can't even fulfil a small wish of mine?", the dragon seemed to be emotional which Jay could barely afford to see.

"Stop with your emotional blackmail! That doesn't work on me!", Jay felt like puking when he saw the dragon literally shed tears which were not even worth it.

"Uhh!! Plan failed!", said the dragon while staring at Jay.

Then the dragon immediately took a deep breath and said, "Then what do you expect me to do? Hide here? Hunters might come to hunt me when my power hasn't returned yet! You want me to die?"

The dragon seemed to be worried too because it was indeed Jay's fault for shrinking the dragon.

But he too hadn't expected that to happen. However he felt that he was guilty so he said, "Well, I can't take you back with me but you can stay in the dungeon!"

That was the perfect place that could have been thought. Even his presence wouldn't have been detected due to the stealth that was activated so there wouldn't have been any problems.

Jay noticed the Vampires denying him by using hand signs as if they didn't want the dragon to stay with them. But he had already promised so he just laughed.

"Hmm... that's not a bad idea either...", the dragon thought for a moment and eventually agreed.

"Okay then, I will be staying in the dungeon!", the dragon said proudly after deciding it.

Sebas and Katherine seemed displeased because they didn't want to live with such a powerful being because all of them would be uncomfortable in his presence.

But Jay asked them to manage somehow and all three of them immediately left.

He contacted Wolfy too to say that he was fine since he would have been worried all this time.

"Ya, I guess I should return back.", was what Jay said and started moving towards the cave's exit when suddenly a message popped up.

'DING DONG'

==========

[Auto retrieval Of the Skills has been activated due to the increased capacity]

[The owner has been given the ownership over all the skills attained so far]

==========

"Huh? Auto retrieval?", he read the sudden message that had popped up.

He was glad after reading that since the system had done a wonderful work and now he literally had the control over all the skills so he wanted to test them a bit.

"Hmm, since the cave is a closed space there will be no one seeing me...", Thinking this he decided to execute all his skills.

"[Stealth]", immediately after thinking about this he became invisible and when saw the crystal, he couldn't replace his reflection.

"Haha, not bad!", he then disabled the stealth skill and then used [Lightning Strike].

The skill was powerful but he reduced its power by controlling it which caused less damage. If he had unleashed the skill's full power then the cave would have crumbled by now.

Then one by one he started executing all his skills while using only 10% of their powers. Also, when he used the 'Dragon' named skills such as [Dragon's Aura] And [Dragon's consciousness], he retained his thinking power.

It was completely different from before where he would actually faint and let the skills take over him.

After a few tryouts he sat down since he had exhausted some of his mana.

"Hmm...", he then decided to take a look at other new features of the system when he found something labelled as - 'Inventory'.

"Huh? What the heck? What's with this inventory? And where is 'Storage'!!?"

It seemed as if in place of the word 'storage', 'inventory' was written which made him confuse since he didn't know what that was.

He immediately decided to open it and after he did, he was completely awed.

"Oh my God! Are these all the items that I have gained so far!!?", he literally had more than ten weapons of each rank ranging from A to C.

On top of that he had 4-5 'S - Rank' weapons too in which the [Blood Sword] was included.

He was excited and enthusiastic when he saw all those weapons and other items that were in his inventory and after seeing that he felt as if it would be good if he were to use them soon.

"Oh well, I discovered a new feature and there might be even more functions left to be discovered!", when he had the same storage function, it used to show only one item at a time and due to that he thought that only one thing could be stored.

Also the details about the items weren't showed. But the system seemed to have a variety of feature and the storage which was now inventory was more detailed and precise.

It even had the option which indicated 'Most Recently Used Items' too which saved a lot of time.

"Haha, thanks man for sending me this new system. That old system was fucking lame which didn't help me even a bit!", he literally insulted the old system.

But despite the drawbacks, it was the old system which had started his path to become stronger which he had forgotten.

"Anyway, I guess it's better to leave.", he decided to teleport back to his room since it was already late and all the problems were solved.

He wore the white watch on his wrist and then walked out of the cave while taking a look at the surrounding and enjoying the fresh air.

His eyes shined with blue light which marked the usage of teleportation skill which would allow him to return back his home.

"..."

"..."

After 5 minutes...

"..."

"What's with this? Why can't I use teleportation!!?", he grabbed his own head and was confused at what was happening.

"Don't tell me that this system suddenly went mad!!?", he looked at the system and found that everything was proper.

"I don't see any problem then why the fuck am I not able to teleport!?", he seemed troubled.

He thought about walking a bit ahead and then using teleportation again.

He had just barely begun to walk and had hardly taken 20 steps when he hit his head against something which was completely invisible.

"T-that's Weird... I don't see anything here.", he extended his hand towards while saying this.

"Huh!!? There indeed is something ahead!", it seemed more like an invisible wall that was in front of him.

"A barrier or what!!?", he immediately used [Stealth] in order to pass through it but it seemed as if that failed.

"WHAT THE HECK MAN!!!"

"Would you at least let me go home peacefully!!!!?", he screamed with all his might immediately after which he heard a sound from the system.

'DING DONG'

==========

Jay read each word in detail and found that it was beyond his expectations that a quest would suddenly pop up.

He thought that this problem was finally solved since his system had turned to hybrid but little did he know that the complexities had just been started.

While Jay was being annoyed on seeing the quest, someone from the shadows seemed to be happy and grinning.

"Let's see, how you will pass this test... THE BLACK KING!"
