Avvenvita: Age Of Hunt

Avvenvita

The world that is inhabited by so many types of beasts, small and great. This world is called Avvenvita, the world of dangerous adventures. It is ruled by a very powerful authority called 'The Supreme World Authority" or SWA. Nobody knows how this gigantic government came into power, because that was more than a thousand years ago. However, the Supreme World Authority is holding 160 kingdoms from all around Avvenvita. This government is maintaining the balance of the world between the humans and the beasts. They founded a worldwide researching organization for the development of knowledge about the different kinds of beasts, the improvement in technology, and education system. This organization is called 'The World Research Organization'. This raised the curtains of the new era, "The Age of Hunt".

Because of the development of techonologies, weapons, and knowledge about different kinds of beasts; the Supreme World Authority decided to build different schools and academies in different countries. This is to widen the knowledge of young students about the beasts that may cause harm to them in the future. Every country in Avvenvita has began building schools and academies.

There is a place in the northside of Avvenvita called Dnarsus. This place is the only place to have unknown status. Explorers who were paid by the government have not return back after going to the island. Nobody knows the reason why they did not return back. However, a decade later, a brave explorer decided to go to the island with his own will and tells the World Leaders or the so called Enlighted Ones that he will go to the island. Years later, he managed to go back to the Supreme World Authority Center bringing with him a strange pictures of different kinds of beasts. "The island.... It is full of a very deadly monsters. Even small animals could kill you if you are not prepared. In land, air, and sea, death awaits you. I'm lucky to survive such dangerous place. I don't want to go back there anymore. Now I know why hundreds of explorers that went there never return. They are dead." he said. This information that he told the SWA had a great contribution to the World Research Organization. They gave him a very good job. The Man also told them to rank every beasts from around the world, which the WRO followed. It took them almost a decade to rank every species. They also made books about the ranks to inform all of the citizens of each kingdom. The following are the ranks of the beasts:

Class A : Mythical Beasts - x,y,z

Class B : Enormous Beasts - 1,2,3

Class C : Legendary Beasts - x,y,z

Class D : Sharp - 1,2,3,4,5

Class E : Armored - 1,2,3,4,5

Class F : Average -1,2,3,4,5

Each class (F-A) was based from their size, lethality, and rareness. The higher the rank of the beasts, the rarer it is. Each classes are also divided by numbers, meaning to say that classes are the major detail of the beast, while the numbers will stand for the minor details. (1 : All Stats are High ; 2 : Two Stats are High ; 3 : Strength ; 4 : Agility ; 5 : Tough)

However, Class A and Class C are different. They are divided into letters:

X = Possessing magical attacks and abilities

Y = Possessing magical defense and abilities

Z = Possessing both magical attacks, defense, and abilities.

A researcher proposed another rank. This rank is the Class S - Supreme Rank. He knew that there are beasts that are too powerful for Class A: Z. The World Research Organization review his statement if it will be accepted or not. They found some beasts in historical literatures that are beyond the power of just a mythical beast. That includes the Typhon, leviathan, the Phoenix, the Imoogi, and the Cthulhu. Those beasts are very formidable to be put in the Mythical Rank, so the Council decided to add another rank which they called "Class S", the special rank and the secret rank for beasts that are way too powerful.

The Beasts are finally ranked for so many years. Another professor proposed there should also be ranks for the hunters who hunt those beasts. To raise a rank, they will need to finish 12 Jobs first. It is getting harder as the rank is getting higher, but the rewards are also great depending on their rank.

In this land, there is but one rule. It is the rule of nature "Kill or be Killed". Every people should thrive to survive. This world has no mercy for the weak. Cowards may survive, but the brave ones grow stronger.

However, the new era is the time of big disagreement. Some people began questioning the Supreme World Authority as the one to control the world. They also made organizations that will overthrow the current government. These organizations unite and formed one giant organization called "The People's Army". The Supreme World Authority was threatened by the organization. They have to stop this rising organization, or it will overthrow them from the thrones. They have power to almost everything. The opposing organization bombed a government's facility. And because of that, SWA declares war against the opposing organization. Using the newly invented weapon, Zeus A1, that is very destructive once it explodes, they have the upperhand. SWA dropped the Zeus A1 to the area of the People's Army. The nuke is extreme. It destroyed the big island where the organization is resting. No one survive in the island. Even the nearby islands were affected by the nuke. SWA won the war against them. They did not spread the news about the dropping of the bomb to cover up their own malicious doings from other kingdoms. They spread false news to the people. They won, however, it has no good effect to the environment at all. More problems just arise. Because of the too much carbon dioxide the bomb emits, the atmosphere became abnormal. Pollution spreads and kills hundreds of people. There are famines to the affected areas. Because of it, more wars break out for resources. But SWA did not tell the truth to the people to honor themselves.

The Supreme World Authority had no idea that they've made such a great mistake. The nuke destroyed ancient magical pillars that protect the island from a dark portal that links the two realms between their world and the Netherworld. Because of this, more terrible beasts came upon the world. Much deadlier, faster, and stronger monsters. The beasts in Avvenvita became more aggressive and hard to control. They attacked several towns in just a day. Taming these beasts are also very hard.

Ancient people claim that it is the beginning of the end. And that's the world of Avvenvita. The new generation is the hope for the future.

The Young Hunters

In a small valley, a hamlet is located. This small village is called the Green Valley, because of its greeneries that even houses were built using green stalks and leaves. It's also part of the Loderon country. The area is abundant when it comes to basic needs and resources. So many fruits to eat, and so many preys to hunt. The Climate is tropical. However, after the war for the throne, things changed even in their area. New species began inhabiting the land. The Beasts are deadlier than before, greater in both strength and speed. These Beasts becomes more aggressive and destructive. The Chief of the Green Valley is worried about his citizen. Especially because a monstrous beast called Loderian Boar was said to attack a nearby town. Without knowing if it is true or not, he came to the Hunter's University, since they are located in the country Loderon, to ask somebody to help them. However, nobody volunteered to help them. The Hunters of this university is after shining and expensive jewelries, and he has nothing but foods and basic resources. Thinking that the Hunter's Academy is selfish, he went back to his valley alone.

Then one day, the two young men, Kei and James, take a visit to the valley. They entered a small tavern, and in there, they meet a woman named Sarah. "Hello there, milady?" said James. Kei doesn't talk much, while James is his opposite.

"Hi! You two are fresh-looking. I haven't seen you in here before. What do you guys want?" the woman said.

"Well, we just need some drinks and extra foods. We're hunters. I'm James Panther, and this is Kei Farrell. He's my brother, though, not in blood."

"So you guys are hunters, huh? Well, our chief is finding hunters in the Loderon's Hunter University. Unfortunately, nobody volunteered to help us. They are after rewards." she said as she takes out the wine and the cooked-chickens.

"Seriously? Well, we are not like them. We're not after those jewelries. So what can we do to help?" said James.

"There is a beast called Loderian Boar. It's pretty dangerous. We've heard that it already attacked a nearby town. And we are worried that it might also attack us. We only have few civil guards here. Wooden bows and stone spears and axes."

"Ow, that's a big problem. Good thing that we've visited this place. We're here to help. Our four other friends are not here, but we can take it down just by the two of us." James said.

"That's great! Thanks. I think you'll need to talk to our chief. He's in his house by now. You'll just have to ask some guards to take you there." she uttered.

"By the way, may I ask what's your name?"

"Sarah Dona." she answered.

Kei began asking her a question. "May I know what is the Class of this Loderian Boar? I'm really bored."

"It's a Class D:2 monster. I just checked about it last night in the book that I've bought. For sure, you guys will have a hard time taking it down."

"Ah. Okay then. So this beast is Class D. It's a bit stronger than we've hunted so far. So I guess this would be an enjoyable hunt."

Sarah smiles. "That's nice to hear. Feel free to eat anything you want. Since you want to help us, I will not take your payments for these drinks and foods. Consider it as my thank you for you guys."

"Well, thanks. I appreciate that." James replied.

After that, they came out of the tavern and ask for the civil guard to take them to the Chief as they will hunt down the Loderian Boar. When they arrived at the Chief's place, they humbly introduced themselves to him.

"A Good Day for you, majesty." said James.

"Who are you?" asked the Chief.

"I'm James Panther and this is my brother, Kei Farrell. We're hunters."

"Really? I've been finding brave hunters that will take down the terrible beast that may attack our valley sooner."

"We're actually here to help. One of your citizen, Sarah, told us about the situation. We'll be glad to help." Kei said.

"Ow, that's great! But we can only give you some resources. We don't have jewelries here. I'm ashamed of myself."

Then James says "That's alright. We don't need jewelries or any other precious things. Few resources are so much fine for us."

"Really? Thanks. I owe you guys for your kindness and will to help. The Hunters from the Loderon's University of Hunters don't want to help since we only have few resources to give." the Chief replied.

James and Kei smile at him. "We just need to ask few questions. What do you know about the Loderian Boar?" Kei asked.

"I'm sorry but I know nothing. I haven't even see it yet. But I know where can we find it. It can be found around the forest of Palawan. It is near here." the Chief answered.

"Thanks. That's a great information. One last question. Does this town has defense structures or maybe watchtowers?"

"Sorry. Our watchtower is not finish yet. Our workers are focusing on the construction of fences."

"Well then. That's fine. We just have to hunt down the beast before it comes here." Kei then checked his newly-bought book and try to find some datas about the Loderian Boar. This book has over 9000 beasts enlisted in it. Kei and his friends also write their own journal about the beasts they've hunted down.

"Okay. We will come back with its head. We promise you that." James said.

"Thank you very much. I owe our lives to you. Be careful with that beast. They said that it is a Class D:2 monster. So have extra care while facing it." the Chief advised.

"Thank you, majesty. We will be going now." James said then they comes out from the house of the Chief. They began their journey in hunting their first Class D Monster. Of course, it will not going to be easy.

Danger in the Lake

As they travel to the forest, Kei is sharpening his dagger. "My knife is blunt already. I think I have to ask Mark to make one again. You have a spare knife James?" asked Kei.

"I have one." he takes out his knife and gives it to Kei. "Thanks." Kei said.

They saw a Virescent Ox.

"Look. A Virescent Ox. Mind to take it down?" James said.

"Why not? I think you can just hunt it yourself. It's pretty easy." Kei replied.

"Well, anyway, it's just Class F:3 animal. Two arrows are enough. Hehe!" Then James readies his bow and arrow, and points it to the Virescent Ox. Without knowing anything, the Virescent Ox peacefully eats the grass. Then he shoots his arrow to the Virescent Ox's flank. Then another arrow to its ribs. The Virescent Ox tried to run away, but eventually, it falls to the ground. It cannot escape anymore. The bleeding do not stop. James and Kei just walk towards it, they are waiting till it lost its energy. A couple of minutes later, it dies on the grass floor.

James gives him an axe and says "Kei, get some branches or logs. I will cook for our meal today. And also leaves or something flammable to make a fire."

"Got it." Kei replied.

He cuts off branches from the trees and gets leaves from plants. He also found a lake nearby. He went back to James to tell him that there is a lake nearby, where they can take a bath for a while. James agrees to him. He lift up the Virescent Ox to the side of the lake. There, they will spend their night.

"We will meet up with the others the next day. So we have to finish this Loderian Boar tomorrow." said James.

"Alright then. James, do you really want us to join the Hunter's University? I mean, we've just knew from the Chief how selfish those hunters are. They are only after the rewards." Kei spoke.

"Yeah. I'm having second-thoughts about that. Ever since, I dream of attending that school. I like to improve my hunting skills."

"But you know what? You are already improving your skills. We don't need to join that school, actually. Right now, I'm happy to hunt. I'm not so sure if we will be this happy again if we join there."

James sighed "Anyway, eat fast. We'll be setting out early morning. Be sure to have enough sleep."

"Aye..." Kei said as he heard something moving towards them. He looks at the lake, he can sense that something dangerous is coming. "James, ready your weapon. Something's coming." James then quickly takes his bow and arrows. "Are you sure? How can you sense that? I haven't even heard anything."

"I just sense it. I can feel it's moving towards here." Kei said.

They alert themselves. Then a very large crocodile came out of the water and appeared right in front of them. They quickly dodge its bite. Kei tries to pierce the scaly skin of the crocodile, but he failed. His dagger shattered. The Crocodile almost bite him, but he dodge it again. James shoots his arrow at the head of the crocodile, and luckily, he managed to damage it. The Crocodile's head bleeds. Kei climbs over the back of the crocodile and targets its eyes. The Crocodile then spins on the floor, but Kei quickly jumps away from the crocodile. James just shoots arrows to weaken the crocodile's defense. Kei punches the head of the crocodile and holds its mouth to stop it from biting.

"James! Use the axe to slash its belly. Now!" Kei shouted.

James then quickly rushes over the crocodile and gashes its belly. Then Kei releases his hold and let the crocodile bleeds on the ground. It even tried to get back unto the water, but James pulls it back using his force.

James and Kei are both strong hunters. They are physically more stronger than an ordinary person, since they grew up hunting terrible beasts like what they just defeated now.

"*Phew* This crocodile is a hard one. I wonder what kind of beast is this." James said as he breathes deeply.

"It's called the Hypolimnion Crocodile. Of course, it lives in the bottom of this lake. It's under Armored Class. Specifically, Class E:2 monster."

"Class E:2? Phew. That's nice. What more?"

"Some parts are tradeable. It costs 10 H-coins per scale, and 15 H-coins per 1kg meat. Maybe we have to cut its pieces apart. Then deliver it to a nearby market. What do you say?" asked Kei.

"Not a bad idea. But we need to slice its parts, then deliver it tomorrow after we hunt down the Loderian Boar. We will be needing new weapons. Your blade shattered. You need to craft stone knives, Kei. Ah, about the slicing of its parts. I will do it myself. Go sleep now."

"Aye." Kei answered.

"By the way, you're senses improve greatly. Keep it up!"

"Thanks. I don't know how either. Anyway, gonna sleep now. Goodnight, brother."

"Ya. Goodnight too, brother."

And so Kei feel asleep, while James decided to cut off the parts of the crocodile. He's still thinking about how Kei was able to sense the crocodile. Even himself did not hear the monster coming. He cuts off the scales one by one from the crocodile, then its meat. The tender meat, body meat, and the dark tail meat. He put it all inside a clean bag. Then he also go to sleep after all that. The second rule of a hunter, never sleep too much. Anytime at anywhere, death might reap your body. So James and Kei sleep lightly.
