My Range is One Million-Chapter 13: A New Page 2

“Ah...”

Jaehwang was surprised as soon as he sat up and saw how messy the shrine turned looked. Everything was torn apart as if a typhoon raged through his home while he was asleep. He sighed as he gave his surroundings a blank stare until he noticed a cold feeling. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

He looked down and noticed that he was buck naked. All of his clothes were ripped away while he was being reborn again but Jaehwang didn’t even know that it happened in the first place.

Maybe someone else has been here? But it got even weirder when he realized that he somehow blacked out and forgot everything.

“My eye...”

He lost 30 percent of his eyesight when he injured his right eye in the accident. That accident had caused him to train much more so that he could get used to the imbalance in his vision. He could still shoot an arrow with his eyes closed but it was still hard. But then, he realized that his sight had gotten completely better. In fact, it was even better than before. 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

‘How could it have gotten so much better?...’

He could see everything perfectly.

He had a difficult time adjusting to the sudden change in his eye but, he eventually got used to it after focusing for a few seconds. He was so surprised over what happened with his eyes that he haven’t noticed the other change yet.

“What’s going on? I must be going insane?”

Before the accident, his skills were about 1.2 but now he feels like they’re over 3.0.

But the real surprise didn’t come just yet. Jaehwang stood up and felt the strength and energy surging throughout his body. The numbness that he always felt in his right hand had now disappeared.

He looked at his right hand and saw that all of the scarring and marks have disappeared. All he could see was porcelain white skin, it looked as good as new.

“What the hell happened.”

He began to wonder on how he get there. He then started to remember the dream that he had.

‘It’s all so clear...’

That’s it. He remembered that he went out hunting for wild pigs yesterday and almost died when he encountered a third tier monster. He barely escaped from that monster. He went back to the cabin after that and then into to the shrine where he instantly fell asleep. And... That dream...

“Ah...”

He remembered. The hunting rest area was filled with smoke... he met his ancestors... And... His mom... His dad...

“It was only a dream...”

It was just a dream but it felt so real. He met his parents and saw his ancestors. They were having such a hard time.

“That couldn’t have been real.”

He thought that maybe he just lost his mind and none of that really happened. He then felt a sharp pain throughout his body.

It felt like something was broken. He heard a screaming sound that came out of nowhere. What could it be? Was it coming from him? What was it that his ancestors couldn’t give up on? He wasn’t sure about that but he knew that there was something that he needed to do. He knew that whatever happened to him, he won’t be able to pay back all their kindness...

He then saw something green flickering over in the corner of the room.

He looked at it wondering what could it be...

“Jaehwang, are you in the there?”

He heard the voice of Mr. Song (his granddad) coming from outside the shrine. He quickly got up to let him know that he was there, but then he instantly froze after hearing a girl’s voice.

-They can’t come in because you aren’t wearing any clothes.

“Huh?”

He stopped moving looked down and realized that he really was still not wearing any clothes. He then looked all around the room wondering where that voice came from and then heard the voice again.

-I wanted to talk to you. I want to know how you’re feeling.

Jaehwang then looked through the crack of the door and saw Mr. Song standing with his granddaughters from before.

“Damn it!”

He got frustrated about seeing those two and he was currently confused on what was going on.

“Jaehwang, are you there?”

Asked Mr. Song again. He would open the door immediately for him but Jaehwang couldn’t open the door just yet.

The cabin was located deep within the mountains and the path to get there was dark and dangerous. Because Jaehwang haven’t returned from the cabin in a few days, Mr. Song started to get worried. So he bought the two girls with him to see what’s going on.

It wasn’t a good idea to bring young girls out in the middle of the mountains like this but, they insisted on coming with him so they could apologize. However, the moment they stepped foot onto the mountain trail they regretted coming along...

“Grandpa, when are we going to sit and take a rest?”

The fall weather was cold but they were all covered in sweat. Mr. Song even got tired and was relieved when they finally reached their destination.

“Uhh...”

Jaehwang froze in place. He could hear them clearly but he couldn’t come out yet.

“What happened...”

He looked around in confusion and saw his reflection in a piece of broken glass.

He saw small writing on the side of his right eye.

[Jaehwang-Tiger Hunter]

He got a strange feeling as soon as he saw the writing. There was also some chord sticking out of him and his whole body felt weird.

-Huh... Is it magic? Everything is completely different... This has to be magic.

-Who are you?

He asked a voice he heard in his head.

-... If you don’t know me then can you be ask that question? But it’s fine. Everything you liked and everything you hated, it all has become one and you have to say it. You have been descended from a legendary archer who protected the central districts.

The voice of a girl started to talk and he responded by tilting his head...

-You’ll save everyone, right? You’ll hunt the monsters?

He then heard the voice again.

-Where is that coming from...

He listened to the girl’s clear voice which was changed into a more exciting tone.

The moment he tried to ask what was she talking about, the shrine door slightly opened.

“Are you there?”

Mr. Song’s granddaughter peeked through the door. He was not wearing any clothes but luckily, she didn’t notice him. She just looked inside the shrine and then closed the door after a second. It seemed like she wasn’t able to notice anyone in there.

“Nothings here.”

“Don’t just walk in!”

He heard Mr Song’s shout..

The girls shared the same age as Jaehwang, if they saw him without any clothes then he wouldn’t be able to look at them. He then wondered how the voice in his head knew about what happened to his archery skills.

-How do you know all that?

She answered back with a cold voice.

Her words were full of sadness. She called him the world’s monster hunter but she didn’t sound too honest. She then asked something else in a more serious tone..

-They’re going to apologize. What are you going to say?

It was easy to think about it but saying it aloud makes hard. Jaehwang didn’t respond and then she answered back.

-You don’t have to hide, just be yourself. But, I don’t think you should go out there without any clothes.

The strange feeling inside of him then disappeared.

-I’m still a bit tired but I’m done hiding. First, I need to get some clothes.

‘That’s it.’

He opened the window in the shrine and sneaked out to the back of the cabin. The window was quite far from the ground but his body had become light so it was easy. Jaehwang jumped through the window and went through the main entrance and put on the remaining clothes in his bag.

-This path has been here for 500 years and these clothes have become completely become dull.

The clothes were little dull but they’ll have to do. He wanted to finish talking with the voice in his head but he first had to go find Mr. Song. As he was leaving the room, he caught a glimpse of his reflection on a mirror. He stopped to look and froze at what he saw.

“My face...”

He touched his face wondering what happened to it as well as his hair.

“Oh my gosh.”

-Your face looks good...

It was unbelievable. The scar that distorted his face was gone. But now his face looked different from what it was like before the accident, It was so much structured.

“Who is this...”

He asked who was the extremely handsome guy looking back at him in the mirror. It had been 2 years since the accident. His old face haven’t completely disappeared but the face he saw looking back at him was very unfamiliar.

Jaehwang then grabbed a hat off of the hanger and pulled it low over his face.
