"Who's there?" Peter asked as he paced around the room in worry until the knock interrupted him while Jake was meditating again.
"Werewolf slayer sir, and sir Peter, we are already here." A voice said from outside.
"Here? Here where?" Peter asked.
"Our targeted planet." The voice said.
"Oh, right!" Peter said as he saw Jake slowly standing up and walked towards the door.
Swinging it open, he along with Peter walked towards the lounge where the hundred B rank adventurers were already getting their gears ready.
Seeing Jake and Peter walk forward, they stopped their chattering. That was how much they respected these two even though the duo were younger than them all.
"Can we see the feed from outside?" Jake asked and then a holographic display appeared in front of them all.
Velmora Prime was one of the ten human-inhabited planets now under werewolf control.
Once a prosperous world of lush forests, glistening lakes, and floating cities built into towering canopies, it had since descended into a haunting shadow of its former self.
The skies were perpetually overcast with dark purple clouds, crackling with occasional arcs of unnatural lightning—an effect of the corrupted moon that now orbited the planet, said to empower werewolf transformations.
The terrain was rugged and wild. Massive obsidian trees loom across the forests, their twisted roots spreading like veins through the soil.
Packs of feral werewolves roamed freely, patrolling around the place using the dense terrain and natural camouflage to ambush enemies.
Ancient ruins lay
scattered across the wilderness—remnants of a civilization that once used
tech to harmonize nature and machinery.
Far ahead, everybody could see a fortress that stood firmly on the planet.
The planet was forged from blackstone and obsidian, the fortress radiated a primal energy, as though the structure itself was alive—breathing, growling, waiting to pounce.
It was not merely a stronghold; it was a statement. A reminder that the beasts don't just conquer—they consume.
Spiked walls surrounded the citadel, each fang-like protrusion engraved with ancient lupine runes that pulse faintly under moonlight.
Massive bone totems—fashioned from the skeletons of slain beasts and fallen enemies—lined the perimeter, oozing dark aura and warding off unwanted intruders.
The main gate was shaped like the open maw of a wolf, with metallic fangs and crimson-glowing eyes that flickered with malevolent intelligence.
Inside, the fortress was a labyrinth of stone halls, blood-stained arenas, and dark chambers.
Howls echoed through its walls day and night. The air was thick with the scent of iron, sweat, and raw magic.
Defensive technological devices protected the citadel from aerial attacks and teleportation spells. Siege towers, beast cages, and watchtowers formed outer layers of defense, manned by feral scouts and elite berserkers.
Hidden tunnels ran beneath the fortress, some leading to escape routes—others to sacrificial chambers used in their dark rituals.
"So, that is where those beasts lay." Peter scoffed as he looked towards Jake who was staring at the display intensely. "Any problem? Jake."
Jake didn't respond as his gaze was fixated on something in front of him as if he was reading something intently and that was what he was doing as a system notification had flashed in front of him.
{Ding! Quest alert!}
{Quest details: Host has decided to reclaim all ten planets under the grip of the werewolves, this won't be really easy considering the amount of werewolves that might be in the fortress.
So the system has decided to give host a quest, to motivate him so he won't give up his quest.}
{Quest: Eliminate all werewolves in the fortress and each fortress attacked by host.
Rewards: ???}
'Wait! A question marked reward? The only times this has occured is when I have been given a difficult quest. Is this going to be too difficult?
The only good thing about a question marked reward is that the rewards are always juicy. But the quest! I wonder how many wer…'
"Jake!" Peter called out again drawing Jake from his thoughts as he finally looked around the room. "You okay man? I have been calling for three minutes now."
"Oh! I'm sorry, I zoned out a bit." Jake replied as he glanced back at the holographic display. "Land this glide, let's conquer this planet!"
"Yayyy!" All hundred B rank adventurers in the room cheered at once as the glide slowly made a landing.
A ramp was let down as Jake and Peter walked forward, the remaining hundred adventurers descending down as they were hit by a slight chill, the chill was quite ominous but they shrugged it off.
"What should we do? Do we charge or what?" An adventurer asked.
"No, we wait. I'm sure they must have noticed us by now." Jake smiled as he saw the massive gates of the fortress open up.
Two humans walked out casually. Hands tucked in their pockets as they strode over as if they didn't have any care in the world.
Jake looked past them and could see werewolves lining the walls, they stood on the walls waiting for a signal. Then something caught Jake's eyes as he saw winged beasts moving around the fortress and didn't even attack the werewolves.
'Huh?! When did they have the ability to control beasts?!' he thought.
"Uhm Jake." Peter whispered as he the two men walking forward slowly. "I have been meaning to ask. Did you assign Jack on a mission? I haven't seen him around the base in a week now."
"Rivock had asked for him. You know he didn't sign a contract with the Fang hunters, so he is still Rivock's son and bound to be with him.
After Rex's display, Rivock was worried about his son so he asked Jack to come back to him." Jake replied in a whisper.
"Oh! That explains it." Peter muttered.
"Have the humans grown foolish over the years?" One of the two humans walking forward asked. "Why would they send a meagre force out to this planet?"
"What do you all want here? Don't you know that we are at war currently? Do you all have a death wish or something?" The other human asked.
"Are they trying to play good cop, bad cop?
Because they are doing a bad job." Peter remarked with his arms crossed.
"The reason why we are here, is to reclaim what you all took from us." Jake replied as he stepped forward a bit, the two humans stood about a two metres away.
"What we took? Oh! You mean this planet?" One of the humans laughed.
"Oh how delusional the humans have become!" The other human facepalmed himself. "Do you know how many werewolves are in there? Not only werewolves, but dangerous beasts waiting to be unleashed."
"I don't care…I don't…" Jake said calmly as he held his hand out and a mask appeared in his hand.
Placing it on his face, he glared back at the humans in front of him. "I don't care how many werewolves are in there because I will slay them all. And that is the promise of the werewolf slayer!"
"Oh?! Fine then." One of the two humans said as his clothes began ripping off, his body growing twice the normal size, fur was seen appearing on his body as his eyes glowed bright yellow.
"Oh?! And omega werewolf." Peter commented as he swung his hands downwards, a pair of axe appeared in each of his hands from his sleeves.
"Fang hunters!" Jake called out as the huge gate in the distance opened up, hundreds of werewolves poured out, along with a hundred beasts. "Attack!"
