My Range is One Million-Chapter 18: Star Dust Clan 1

Jaehwang walked through the entrance of the cabin.

-Hand out your hand.

He lifted his hand towards the floor of the room just as the spirit said. He then soon started to take out the snacks that he bought from the market one by one. Jaehwang then realized that they have bought more things than he thought. He took out the remaining ones as the hole on his hand became smaller.

-.…Amazing. So convenient and unique.

-Why did you want all this stuff?

Jaehwang asked.

-To eat it, of course.

-Huh?

Jaehwang tilted his head in confusion. He had always thought that the spirit lived like a parasite in his body. He wondered if she would make him eat it or she would eat it herself. A few other questions had flooded to his mind as the white dust started to come out of his eye.

The dust gathered and soon turned into the shape of a person. Its height reached up to Jaehwang’s chest and as its shape became more defined, it started to look like a 12-year-old. She bore a cute face but she also gave off a strange smell.

“I think this will do.”

She glanced over towards Jaehwang and then turned her attention towards the room around her. She almost immediately started to eat the snacks that she asked for and it wasn’t long before the candy wrappers had spread all over the place. Jaehwang could see the sparkles in her eyes as she looked at the candies while she stuffed her face with chocolate and candy.

“Amazing. Is this really what you people eat? It’s great.”

She gazed at the boxes with an innocent look before she took one and handed it to Jaehwang. He then extended his hand and silently took it.

“Oh… What’s this one?”

She smelled the chocolate cookies as she picked up the box and used her fingers to pry it open. She slowly took one out and was mesmerized by the treat. She cleared her throat, opened her mouth and then proceeded to stuff every snack that she could get her hands on to her cheeks.

“The taste!…It’s so sweet…”

She was as hyper as a child but Jaehwang found it cute. He couldn’t even judge for being too excited since she has been trapped for a few thousands of years. He watched her for quite a bit and he couldn’t help but feel a little bit interested.

“Clean up after you eat.”

“I know.”

She answered back, hinting that she didn’t like the idea of cleaning up. She just focused on eating her snacks as if nothing had happened.

The entrance of the house softly opened and Jaehwang turned and could see the spirit eating snacks through the crack of the door.

The both of them can now think and do what they wanted without any interference. He thought that he’ll now be able to put his new abilities into use. And all she wanted to do was eat those snacks. 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

“That girl.” 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ

He smiled.

A day had passed and today was the day for the hunter gathering in the village. Jaehwang made his way down the mountain at dawn but a giant rock appeared and blocked the path that he usually took.

“The phone…”

Syuuk

He said as he took his phone and held it in his right hand.

He turned on the phone, connected it to a map and typed in his current location with his finger. He had to be very specific when he typed it in.

-I’m not your porter!

Said the spirit in his head but Jaehwang just ignored it.

-Be quiet.

-Humph…

The spirit’s complaints had stopped as soon as Jaehwang asked her to. He continued on trying to get help using his phone. The spirit finally had started to listen to him and but then she stopped.

After they went to the market and bought all kinds of snacks that she ate instantly. He wondered how was she able to do it. She devoured them all as if she was in another world. Despite that, they haven’t been getting along that much. There were times that he would ask something but she barely listened and asked just ask him for favors.

“If you want to eat, then do it.”

“Ugh…”

After that, she gave him her attention without a word. She tried to behave as if she was in charge and didn’t help him ever since he woke up that morning. She just stayed inside of him and never did anything to help.

She knew that she had a lot to share with him. She could use a little of her magic and she still needed help from him… the only time that she got to do whatever she wanted was when he goes to sleep.

She understood that she would have to settle in his body until she could get her full power back.

But she does care about Jaehwang’s situation as well.

She couldn’t let another spirit fall into him. She had to learn a lot since she barely knew anything about this world. Especially those sweet treats, she understood that she had to listen to him so she could get her hands on those sweet things.

When he realized that she was there to offer her help, he had started to ask her for assistance and she was very useful.

Even hunters didn’t usually have lots of skills.

Hunters were always making the things that they would need. It would be expensive but if they had a little money then they could get everything that they needed.

The hunter’s skill space was unexpectedly small. the length, width, and height were usually about 1 meter and even their skill rank space couldn’t go over 3 meters. So compared to their limited skill slots, the spirit had unlimited power.

And so Jaehwang needed lots of her help. He didn’t know much but when he needed to he could search for something and he could quickly find it with her help. She was very strong and that was why he was taking the time to train with her. So when the times comes for them to engage in real combat, she would know what to do.

-I need three broadhead covered arrows…

Syusyuk….

-This one…

-Quiet.

Jaehwang’s eyes were filled with satisfaction as he looked at the three arrows in his hand. She still didn’t want to listen but she had to help him get more money so he could buy her some more delicious food. That’s why she followed his instructions and got the three arrows as he asked.

But it got to her when the things that he asked for was already in front of him and he would still call for help. Today was the day where he would meet up with the other hunters. She could already imagine having to do all the heavy lifting.

Jaehwang then arrived at the gathering. He bowed his head towards the older people and let the others know that he was there. He went to greet Mr. Song, who treated him like a grandson. He gave him a packed lunch.

The hunters took a bus and arrived in the village at noon. It was not like a usual bus and everyone was given gloves as they entered.

Whriinng

The bus was used in Europe but now that was just a thing of the past. The door opened silently and all of the passengers walked out.

“Wow… I didn’t know there was a place like this in our country.”

“Quickly, get off and don’t look around to much, I have motion sickness.”

This was the first time that they’ve have seen a place like this. They arrived in a place with a house that looked like a cottage inside a folk village. Everyone got off of the bus and looked around.

“Supporting team hurry hurry, get moving. We have to get this done on a two-day schedule!”

“Yes, sir.”

Said the commander in a loud voice when the passengers had have already gotten off. They gave her a nod as they took their luggage from beside the bus. The commander presented the job of each person as they greeted the head of the village.

“I gave you all a call yesterday. You guys will be called ‘the stardust supporting team’.”

“That’s the village head. Mr. Kim Chan, he will take care of things.”

Jaehwang stood away from the village people and looked a the bus. Everyone had already gotten off the bus but there was so much look at. The black triangle shaped drone on the side of the bus was especially something that kept them distracted.

The drone was mainly used in the middle of their formation. When a hunter explored and maintained their guard, the drone would keep a close check and monitor the team to make sure that everything will be okay.

“Anyone bought a helping battery?”

“Check these three blades again. Something seems to be wrong with them.”

The supporting team stuck together and watched the black drones. There were four people that seemed to be getting off the bus sluggishly.

“Ugh… What is that smell?”

The first person to get off the bus was a woman who looked like she was in her early thirties. She was wearing quite smokey makeup and she had a small bird tattoo. She covered her nose and looked around after getting off the bus.

“Isn’t that the smell of the fertilizer? …It didn’t smell like that at home. The mountain is higher and more dangerous than I thought.”

Next, a guy that looked to be in his mid-forties walked off of the bus. He was wearing a belt with lots of tools attached to it. He looked very experienced yet he looked around him with a surprised face.

“Wow… It’s really high.”

A quiet young-looking handsome middle-aged man walked out and lifted his head as he took a deep breath. And lastly, a poor looking skinhead guy looked out of the bus and frowned at all the people around him.

“Ah…Some zoo monkeys.”

He glared at everyone as if he was about to hunt them down. Everyone then noticed him glaring at them so they slowly moved away. They could still feel his stare at the back of their heads and sensed his intent to hunt them. But then, the man’s strong presence disappeared.

“Park Seungwon… If you bother the civilians you’ll be out this time.”

“Yes, sir..”

The middle-aged guy got a warning and he just stroked the back of his head and bowed in agreement.

“He never listens…”

“Okay. No matter how hard you prospect, there are limits in the clan. Obey. It will be decided if you can go through the gate or not depending on how you do on your report.”

“Yes, sir.”

Stardust clan 1, The end.
