Chapter 8 - Chapter 8 Train

-Everyone stay calm, I am an aspiring hunter, if the horrible monsters or supernatural beings approach, I will take care of killing you first so that you will have a quick death! -I exclaimed to the passengers in the carriage I was in.

The notifications kept coming but the points were too low so I walked and kept repeating the same thing on each wagon.

[You won +0.04]

[You won +0.01]

[You won +0.07]

...

I won't deny that although the points are few, seeing so many notifications is quite relaxing.

Arriving at the last car I saw the inspector in the gray uniform who charged me the 6 black tokens, and I asked him:

-Sir, what happened to the train?

I had not noticed, but the man's face was pale, and sweaty, he said to me with a terrified look:

-No, we can't repair it with the tools we have.

"Good heavens! Even I was shaken by the way he said it", even so, I was never a coward, I put my hand on his shoulder and told him in a slow voice:

-Don't worry, if you agree I'll give you a quick death.

[You won +0.04]

I got off the train when I heard that the train had no way to be repaired. With the knowledge I have now, I know that passengers on abandoned trains are abandoned. And the next day a group with a senior hunter is sent to repair the trains.

The surroundings were desolate the breeze was somewhat dusty, in the distance you could still see the mountains, and if you followed the train tracks with your eyes you could only see how the rails disappeared into the horizon, that is, Rodem city was far away.

"How many fear points do I have?", I asked in my mind.

[Available fear points: 3.21]

I scared so many humans at once and only got three points. Let's not look at it like that, that's three points I didn't have.

I knew time was valuable so I got on the train and announced that I would be leaving.

-Everyone here should know that I am a man of my word. I inquired about the condition the train was in, and the train has no way of being repaired in time, I trust I will make it to town by myself. If anyone wishes to die I will wait two minutes at the front of the train.

After my chilling announcement, which I repeated in every carriage, I failed to get any more fear points, so I got off the train with my old suitcase and made my way to the front of the train.

"System, place fear points in agility."

[Agility: raised from 6 to 9.21]

As I count, in my mind 120 seconds, I do warm-up moves, throw quick punches in the air and do short, rhythmic jumps on the tips of my toes.

"120 seconds," as I finished counting, I was ready to go.

-Hunter!

I smiled as I heard a female voice call me hunter, I won't deny that the title sounded good. I turned my gaze to the voice and saw a young woman with long dull gray hair, she was white, with gray eyes, slender figure with medium sized curves, or was what the worn clothes she was wearing allowed to see, in her hand she was carrying two children, both with silver and shiny hair, red eyes and white skin, she was a childish and improved version of the young woman.

-They are my brothers, they are only 5 years old, help them to reach the city of Rodem.

When I heard the request I sighed and said:

-You know what kind of city Rodem city is. They will not have a good time there.

-I have to go.

-Please, I don't want them to die. -She fell to her knees on the ground.

I looked towards the train, no one else came out.

-Get on the train, if you're lucky you'll survive.

I ran away from the train, apparently everyone valued their lives and would rather die horribly.

I never defended anyone in my life before I transmigrated, but I always put those who offended me in their place.

"Will I be able to be a nightmare hunter with that mentality?"

I kept running and the train looked like a small dot. I had to say the enhanced qualities were something else.

I could no longer go back I had used up some of my stamina so I increased the intensity with which I ran. Until I reached a point where the train was no longer visible.

I kept running, several minutes had already passed, suddenly I had to bend down, an arrow was close to pierce my head. When I turned a little I saw three beings riding three huge hairless dog, with sharp teeth and red eyes.

"Damn!"

The beings were three goblins, and three killer dogs.

The goblins are beings 1 meter tall, with wrinkled skin, dark hair, with two small horns on their heads, they only cover their waists with animal skins, they kill for pleasure, but in the end they devour their prey alive. They are 1-skulled monsters.

Killer dogs are 1.5 meter tall monsters, categorized as 1 or 2 skull monsters.

"These emit energy similar to goblins, so they must be in the 1-skull category."

I ran while dodging the arrows, increased the intensity and managed to get some distance and then nimbly jumped towards the goblin on the right side and a nasty sound was heard as I stabbed the goblin's skull with a lunge.

[You've killed for the first time: Terrifying reward!]

I ducked, and leapt forward delivering a punch to the side of the head at the dog that tried to bite me. The dog fell down dizzily.

"show me what the reward is!"

I threw my old suitcase to the ground, as I kept dodging arrows and running to keep my distance.

I didn't want to waste the three dagger spells on three 1-skull monsters.

[Frightening reward: choose host]

[1. 10 points of fear]

[2. Mystery card]

"Fuck, you've got to be kidding me."
