The Seven Monster Spirit

Chapter 01 - The Past and Responsibility

Sitting on a chair inside the house the man put his body on the chair as if helpless.Holding his head he tried to remember the thing that had happened.

His name was Hazel, a hunter. She has the same brown hair and eye pupils as her hair color.

Two days ago when he was about to go hunting for the forest he met there was not a monster but someone who was none other than Jin.

Jin is a friend of Hazel, an adventurer who works in the town's guild but lives in the same place as Hazel.

At that time Hazel was a bit surprised not because her friend was there because it was common for adventurers to be in the forest to do missions, but Hazel was surprised that her friend's body was scarred like it had been attacked by many monsters.

He knew that his friend was a strong man but now he was in a weak state.

not only that Jin was not alone he brought a little boy in his arms.

"Can I ask you to take care of this child?"

hazel hasn't had time to ask something Jin has asked a question or maybe a request.

He did not answer but rather put out a question that he had delayed.

"what happened to you?"

Hazel approached trying to help her friend.

"I'm trying to correct my mistake" his voice sounded weak.

"Don't talk your body getting weaker"

Hazel frantically tries to help her friend, but the genie's body gets weaker.

"Hazel I have a request can you take care of this child?"

Hazel who panicked at her friend's request spontaneously agreed.

"All right"

"Thank you, the poison has spread"

Jin smiled happily.

"please take care of this child like your own son also keep watch over our village and everyone who is there"

after the genie said that in an increasingly weak voice then he died with a smile.

Hazel took them both to the village and let the little boy rest in his house, then buried the genie with the other villagers.

the atmosphere became sad everyone was crying because of the departure of the genie.

according to Hazel, it was a hard day because once again she lost something precious - a friend.

standing from her seat Hazel went to the room to see the child she was carrying.

opening the door saw the boy stay asleep.

"What have you been through, son?" Hazel muttered to herself.

He also had a family consisting of a son and a wife.

Seeing the little boy made him remember about his son.

Before living in this village Hazel lived in the North of the capital, they were a happy family with a simple life, but due to an incident, they were a happy family, Hazel loses her family and her home is destroyed and her peaceful life changes and she leaves the capital.

Walking here and there like an undead he now has no purpose just walking, eating and sleeping.

Until one day he arrived in this village. At that time the village had been attacked by monsters and Hazel who was nearby wanted to ignore him but because she remembered about her past her mind changed and helped the villagers.

After defeating the monster Hazel receives a thank you and is warmly welcomed by the villagers.

Seeing the Greatness of Hazel the village chief asks Hazel to stay here so that she can protect the village. Haunted by her past feelings of seeing these villagers make Hazel forget her a little which now makes the man have a new purpose.

Looking out the window the moonlight illuminated his face.

"That incident can't be forgotten"

Sighing Hazel and closing the window.

"Hope you get up quick, son"

closing Hazel's door, he said the words before leaving the room.

The next day the air was still cool the dew covered the leaves and the sun had just shone.

A voice sounded in the courtyard.

"Dor!!....Dor!!.....Dor!!"

He stood 20 meters away from the target but still hit the midpoint on the orangan rice field.

Hazel uses 2 weapons, a sword and a rifle. When hunting he used a rifle sometimes also he brought 2 weapons, he also brought 2 weapons, but because he preferred to use his rifle his sword was only made into decoration because his sword was not an ordinary sword would be too troublesome if used in the forest.

Replenish the weapon with bullets and prepare to shoot back at the target. He was surprised by the sound of the door of his house arriving open, Hazel reflexively pointed her gun there and immediately shot.

"Doooor!!"

a bullet shot out cut through the wind and pointed straight at the head of that person or a boy the genie had saved, Hazel panics as she is about to kill the child whom the genie has saved but easily dodges the attack.

"Who are you? and where is this?"

That was the first word out of the boy.

"Are you okay?"

Hazel frantically runs towards the boy and tries to find out if anyone is hurt.

"No, I'm fine. Whoareyou? and why am I here?"

after saying his condition he asked the same thing.

"How about we talk about it inside?"

Hazel brought the boy in.

They both sat facing each other.

" Well, you asked me my name, right?"

Hazel looks happy because the boy is awake.

"My name is Hazel, a hunter and protector of this village"

Hazel briefly introduces herself

"And your name?"

And then ask the name of the boy,

The boy looked confused as he tried to remember his name

"I don't know"

"Do you not remember your name or have no name?"

"I don't know"

The boy repeated that sentence again.

and again Hazel asked.

"Didn't you remember what happened?"

the boy shook his head.

Hazel recounts what she knew from the moment she found her friend who was in a weakened state protecting the child, her friend's funeral, to the moment she took the child to her home.

"sorry"

"Why are you apologizing"

"because I'm your friend's dead"

Hazel stood up and hugged the boy

"It's not your fault he sacrificed his life for himself so you don't have to feel guilty"

Hazel knows the boy blames himself for what happened to the genie but now he has to focus on what is happening now.

"You said you didn't have a name, what if I gave you a name?"

Thinking for a moment Hazel was looking for a fitting name for the boy.

"What about Neron?"

Hazel wasn't very good at finding names, but she was trying to find the right name for the boy.

the boy nodded he looked happy that he had been given a name.

"All right now your name is Neron, and from now on I'll take care of you"

Hearing the statement from Hazel Neron once again nodded.
