Rise To The Top! [Finished]

Chapter 12: i'll fix you....

Withing the next morning, Vandana took a shower like any normal day. Made himself some breakfast which is cereal. After watching tv at a low volume, he finally noticed his daily quest.

God damnit ~(Brian)

Again with this routine for the past few months. He never gets tired of this quest. While getting ready, he checked to see if the view counts were still the same...

The number is still the same....what the fuck is going on? This can't be right ~(Brian)

Outside his apartment, there was a girl waiting for him. It was Hannah, his ex-girlfriend.

"Surprise to see you still live here." She says

Vandana did not reply. Instead, he ran past her.

"H-hey! Don't run away while I'm talking to you!" Hannah ran after him "it's a good thing I wore running shoes. Remember when me and you will always jog around this area?"

No response from him.

"For me, it still there as if it were yesterday." Hannah was keeping up with the lowest running speed Brian can go at "don't you?"

Nothing again. She continues...

"Vandana...do you ever miss the day we were together....when things were fun...and we were happy being together?"

Vandana silently stops and looked at her. He laughs.

"Yeah...fun...." and with that, Brian was gone "fucking fun she says...fucking fun..."

I....deserve that so much.... ~(Hannah)

Vandana's emotions were getting in the way from his daily workout. He was crying.

"Why do I feel this way....?" Brian questioned himself "stop it! Stop it....you're making yourself look pathetic!"

"Vandana?" Ricardo stumbles upon Brian who was crying "dude, you need some help?"

"Yeah!" Brian kept wiping away his tears

"Need a talk?" Mason carried him by the shoulder

"Let the man get it out of his system..." River suggested before carrying him by the shoulder as well "before we give a talk."

20 minutes later

"Dude, we thought you were over with Hannah." Ricardo sat on a bench "but seeing you like that...guess you haven't."

"Why did she approach you?" Mason questioned on why Hannah visit Vandana

"There's a chance that Hannah heard the announcement from yesterday. You know how she is before...that." River shrugs

"Possibly. I know this isn't the topic we're talking about but...have you heard of Solo Leveling before?" Brian asked the real question here

"Solo what?" Ricardo scratched his head in confusion

"No, never heard of it. What's it about?" River responded

"The introduction went like this '10 years ago, after 'the Gate' that connected the real world with the monster world opened, some of the ordinary, everyday people received the power to hunt monsters within the Gate. They are known as 'Hunters'. However, not all Hunters are powerful. My name is Sung Jin-Woo, an E-rank Hunter. I'm someone who has to risk his life in the lowliest of dungeons, the 'World's Weakest'. Having no skills whatsoever to display, I barely earned the required money by fighting in low-leveled dungeons...at least until I found a hidden dungeon with the hardest difficulty within the D-rank dungeons! In the end, as I was accepting death, I suddenly received a strange power, a quest log that only I could see, a secret to leveling up that only I know about! If I trained in accordance with my quests and hunted monsters, my level would rise. Changing from the weakest Hunter to the strongest S-rank Hunter!' Ring any bells?" Vandana gave a hint
