Nero, The Legendary Hunter

Nero leaves the bathroom and donned the Valkyrie armor and accessories.

While she showered, she opened the map. On the map 4 enemies had been identified nearby surrounding the inn.

Many hypotheses went through Nero's mind. Maybe there was someone wanting to steal from them, or Choko's father might have sent someone after them, or the local gang might have wanted revenge, and lastly... Nera's sister may have found out Nero was here and sent someone to watch over and murder her. But whoever it was hadn't acted yet, which was weird.

But Nero was not one to wait until the enemy got to her. With the Valkyrie armor, she took the Valkyrie bow, and her strength and agility increased.

[Arc of Valkyrie] + 45 strength, + 35 agility - Rank E

Choko was still meditating. With the amount of Monster Cores she had left, she wouldn't finish anytime soon.

(3) New Quest: [Conquer the Fifth Floor of the Dungeon.]

Why stop on floor 4? Go up to floor 5, and defeat all the monsters there.

This was attractive, but Nero was in no mood to think about a new mission. In silence, she left the room and closed the door. She tested a hypothesis and started walking with the map open and saw that they were chasing her. That meant that she was the target, which made the possibility of Nera's sister, Eliane being responsible increase.

'Want to kill me? Let's see if you can do it?!' Nero was calm even then. She acted like she was going out of town to hunt, but suddenly she was gone.

Or rather, she moved so fast, it looked like she was gone.

*Whoosh!*

*Whoosh!*

*Whoosh!*

Three arrows pierced her pursuers' heads, killing them instantly. How did she know? Notifications of their death appeared on her retina.

"Do not move!" Nero exchanged the bow for the Black Widow sword and placed it around the neck of the lone survivor. Blood started to flow from the man's neck as the sharp blade touched him. The sound of something being swallowed is heard.

"I will not say anything!" the man said.

"Haha, as if I needed you to talk! My dear and beloved older sister sent you to watch me and wait for a chance to kill me, am I right?" Nero said dryly.

"... How?"

"How do I know? Tsk, tsk, Eliane overestimates herself. I'll get to her, but not now. She shouldn't be as weak as you guys, yes? You don't even need to answer, I know. I did my research too, you know? She is well known even: the princess who defends Fisherman's Island. It's one of the biggest fishing islands; that's easy to find out. And if she was capable of anything like that, I deduce she's at least Class B, maybe even Class A. Anyway, I'm going after her, and she will pay for what she did!" Nero ended up pulling the sword and cutting off the man's head.

Nero came to and realized what she had done. For an instant she felt overwhelmed by Nera's thirst for revenge, which wasn't supposed to be possible since she was dead. 'I inherited her memories. It's as if I feel like she's me and I'm her?'

It was very confusing for her, but Nero also felt that Eliane should die. She would get revenge, and for that, she needed to get stronger.

Nero did not return to the inn after picking up the dead bodies of the Warrior Fishermen. Instead, she walked to the Hunters headquarters. She arrived at the reception and was soon recognized.

"I want to update my Hunter Card." Nero went straight to the point.

"Give me your Hunter Card please, and before that, scan your information, please," the woman said politely.

Nero did as she had been instructed.

"Do not look." The woman was going to click to see Nero's abilities. She was curious, but with Nero's death glare, she felt chills and apologized. "I'm sorry, I was too hasty!"

The update was quick. It already showed that she was in Rank E, however, it allowed her to update her Hunter Card chip data and it saw vast improvement. It was like going from a 3G cell phone chip to 4G; that was the difference.

After half an hour it was ready. "It's done, Miss Nero. Do you need anything else?" the receptionist asked politely.

"... I want to sell some items, but there are too many," Nero said.

"Follow me to the warehouse please." The woman acted professionally and guided Nero to the warehouse.

"You can take out everything you want to sell in this room. The price will be automatically calculated each time an item appears inside the warehouse." She pointed to the direction of a panel that showed the value 0 so far.

"Okay." Nero started to take out all the things she wished to sell. She took out almost everything, actually.

· 3311 [Gorilla Nail F Rank – Medium Quality]     

· 1126 [F Rank Flexible Iron Bar – Medium quality]     

· 671 [F Rank Gorilla Skin - High Quality]     

· 732 [F Rank Penguin Fin – High Quality]     

- -

These were the items with the highest amounts. Altogether, the value was past 6 digits. Nero didn't feel like taking them to a smith to make weapons or armor. She wanted to sell them all, as she no longer needed them, at least not these items of such low quality.

There were a lot of gorilla nails, and while they didn't offer a good price, for what she needed, it was more in Nero's interest to sell them.

"M-Miss Nero, what you've placed here comes to a total of: 2,155,455 [Essence Coin]." The guild receptionist stuttered and pointed to a machine that looked like a 24-hour ATM.

"Put your Hunter Card on the machine and the coins will be transferred to you, Miss Nero.." The woman looked even more respectful than before.
