Chapter 176: Hunt. (1)

I tied the tiger rifle around my back and holstered the revolver at my side. The bullets I made were loaded into each’s magazine.

Clack—!

Two shots for the rifle and three for the revolver imbued with mana. During an actual battle, the time needed to reload was a rare luxury.

I looked at the clock. It wasn’t yet past 4 am, and darkness still consumed the snowy world outside. Suddenly, I frowned, noticing an unnatural shadow around the curtains. I pulled them up using Psychokinesis.

*creak*—!

I remained motionless with a smirk upon my lips as I gazed through the window.

—*snore*…*snore*.

Jack Frost was there. A sleeping child, completely buried in snow, leaned against the window. I drew closer to her.

“…”

I examined the snowman, noting her small face and frozen hair, eyes, nose, and lips. This child whose name I didn’t remember.

“…They look alike.”

However, I could roughly understand the background behind this child’s birth. I was sure she was some sort of an Easter egg. Adding similar NPCs was quite common in this area.

—…

The child tossed and turned, her frozen eyelids creaking open. Her lips drew a thin line as cold tears welled up in her eyes.

—…My gun.

I closed the curtains.

Clang clang clang— clang clang clang—

The kid started knocking on the window again.

Clang clang clang— clang clang clang—

Give me back my gun, you bad man—

*****

Outside the barrier of Reccordak, in the forest.

“…Wow.”
