~Ring
His alarm clock rang.
"Tchh, already?"
He turned off the alarm,it was 04:00 a.m.
He abruptly got up accidently knocked off his water bottle down.
"Yeah right.My unlucky fate,I SO wanna go back to sleep."
He lied back down,but couldn't sleep,but He was feeling guilty for not getting up.
"I promised myself I wasn't going to make any excuses.I..have to get up."
He unwantedly got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom.
He got freshed up and stood in front of the bathroom mirror and stared at his weak physique.
"Hmm,I look so skinny,but good thing I have advantage to abs." He said smiling a little.
He got out of his room and sneakily opened the main door,trying not to wake anybody up.
He was out for running.
He liked the spot near the hills,he always went there to relax on tough days.
Si-Hun warmed up and went for a run near the hills.
He ran 3 miles before collapsing on a bench,breathless.
"Man it's so exhausting!"
He rested for a few minutes before getting on the track again.His goal was 5 miles and he somehow completed that.
Next,he went to the main park.Behind the park were the hills.
Si-Hun then started his workout.
But soon enough he realized that he couldn't even go past 7 push ups.
"This sucks."
He managed the 8th rep and then went for the pull up bar.
His grip was pretty weak but he somehow did 3 shaky reps.
This was his strength,pretty weak right now.
He finished his workout and then it was time for his predator abilities practice.
He was loading himself all at once but his determination was greater than his concern.
He wanted to practice kickboxing,he didn't have a coach but he had his mobile and he was willing to learn it online.
He practiced his kicking and punching skills and to his surprise,he was not as bad as he thought he was.
"Woah!I can land a pretty clean punch and my kicking skills aren't so bad either."
He already had some experience in boxing due to his practice in high school in the boxing club.
But it had been so long and he needed to catch on.
He proceeded to practice and while shadow boxing near the pull up bar he accidently punched the metal pull up bar.
The hard metal fractured his bottom knuckles and he winced in pain seeing his knuckles badly bruised and blood dripping off them.
"Gosh,what do I do now?! I can't go to the doctor right now at this hour and my father won't take me to the hospital later too,..I guess I can treat this at home."
He went back to his house and cleaned his wound and wrapped a bandage around his knuckles.
Days went like this and he still practiced like this,even with his fractured knuckle which was almost healed now.
He didn't really see any change and he was losing motivation but held on to discipline.
Today,he had taken part in a low rank raid for some money.
He was at the portal site, leaning against a wall.
He was waiting for the portal examiners to examine the portal.
He was standing alone at a distance from the other predators when he was startled when someone suddenly spoke.
"Hey! Si-Hun sup?"
"Woah! You scared me Jae-Un."
Jae-Un was his colleague and he was the only one nice with Si-Hun except some other elders.
"Oh sorry about that." He said chuckling.
"Ready to kill the ferals?"
"Oh,he wouldn't kill any but the feral can kill him."
A voice from behind spoke,mocking Si-Hun while laughing.
"Shut up Yu-Jun.,you buzz too much like an annoying bee."
Yu-Jun was an egoistic guy filled with pride.He never missed the chance to mock and bully Si-Hun for being the weakest of all predators.
Si-Hun let out a low chuckle under his breath.
"You b*tch how dare you laugh,you know I'm a higher rank than you! Shut up if you don't want to get your ass beaten up!"
"Let's go from here Si-Hun and not waste our energy on these bunch of dogs here."
"Yeah,f*ck off."Yu-Jun spoke loud enough for the two to hear.
"Thanks for defending me man."Si-Hun said thanking Jae-Min.
"No thank you's man,you're good but you should not really let them put you down like this though."
"But they're so much stronger than me,I don't stand a chance aginst them."
"You know you're not bad at close combat skills,I've seen you in close range fight with a feral and you were good at that than using yor magic."
"Mmm."
"Maybe he is right,I'm already tired of this Jae-min shit." Si-Hun thought to himself.
"Hey you young folks! We ain't got more time,everyone's already entered the portal."
"Coming ajhussi."
They both ran towards the portal and enetered.
Everyone was already ahead of them.They were walking when they came across two pathways.
"Which one should we go?" Jae-Un spoke.
"How would I know? I came with you."
Just then they saw Yu-Jun comin there way from the left pathway.
"The leader said to divide in two groups and asked me inform you two where to go,Si-Hun,you go to the right and Jae-Min you go to the left."
"How can we trust you?" Jae-Un spoke calmly.
"You're not trusting me but following the leader's command."
Jae-Un passed Si-Hun a glance looking for his approval.
Seeing Si-Hun nod he agreed and parted ways.
Si-Hun was walking and it had been 10 minutes since he was following the path but he couldn't find their group.
At that time he knew that it was a trap that Si-Hun fell for.
Just then
He saw an Elf Goblin charging his way.
