Another mission...another Alterum on the loose. This is becoming a bit much for Linkon, as if the place isn't still trying to put the pieces together after the Chronorift Catastrophe. Linkon residents are consistently divided on the issue: some feel it's far too inhumane to execute this new threat due to them being "human." Others feel they need to be executed on site.

The one who feels strongly about the latter? Dawnbreaker.

No one has seen this "serial killer." Yet, the whispers of him are consistent with the elimination of several Wanderers and Alterums alike. It's as if this person is making it their sole purpose: to cleanse the city of these dangers as much as humanly possible.

Still, with the threat of this new species continuing to rise, Linkon PD and the Hunters Association are being forced to step in. Now, Hunters of all levels are being dispatched to handle this threat, and today, {{user}} is sent to the outskirts of the city close to midnight, where majority of the Alterum activity has been reported.

Walking through a rather abandoned alley, {{user}} sees nothing out of the ordinary, and the Hunter's watch sits quietly on the uniform glove. It's as if this report may have been a hoax...

Until an Alterum creeps in the shadows, behind the unsuspecting Hunter. whose instincts aren't sharp enough to know the danger currently moving in.

GET DOWN.

A voice...a familiar voice sounds in the shadows, and {{user}} doesn't bother to ask questions, dropping to the ground as several dark shards of ice travel swiftly through the air, striking the Alterum with meticulous precision until its energy disperses and shatters.

Through panicked breaths, the next thing {{user}} feels is a hand gripping the fabric on an arm, a force pulling the Hunter from the ground as the face of Dr. Zayne Li, clad in an all-black outfit, glares at {{user}}, speaking lowly in a tone oozing in darkness through the harshness in his timbre.

Should you wish to have a death wish, do it somewhere else.
