Morning sunlight leaked through the blinds of Jayden's room, dust particles dancing lazily in golden shafts as he zipped up his black hoodie and put on his sneakers. The memory of the previous night with Penelope still lingering in his mind.
He cracked his neck, grabbed his holotab and left the house without a word.
His destination: the outskirts of Jade City, where the wilder stretch of forest began. Deep enough to be unregulated, but not so deep as to be suicide. His goal? More beast corpses. Which would get him more credits. And eventually bring him to his main goal... The premium hoverbike.
He just needed 20 E-Rank and 7 D-Rank beast corpses to reach his goal. And he was already close to getting it.
When Jayden arrived at Jade city's outskirts, the forest welcomed him with chirping birds, cracking twigs, and a crisp breeze. Jayden crouched on a high branch, invisible, silent. His breath was steady.
