Chapter 1071 You Are Not From This World (Part 1)

Once Evan confirmed that there was something wrong with Daniel, the S+ Rank hunter, he didn't take any immediate action and after the dungeon raid ended, he returned to Base City Five.

"The Earth is in a complete mess..." He slumped down on the sofa after coming back and muttered in a low voice.

Eldritch Monsters, the Hidden Dimension in Florida, S+ Rank Hunters, Valery, and the Black Figure he had seen in his memories—there were just too many things on this small planet giving him a headache.

"Damn, I should have just stayed in the closed world of Drayds and enjoyed my days with Anastasia and the others instead of going to that messed-up place where my luck was at rock bottom," Evan grumbled with an annoyed look on his face and sighed.

"But that bastard Azroth told me I only have six years before the seal he placed in the Tomb Of The Ancient shatters, so I need to improve my power before that so I don't have time to waste on meaningless things."

As Evan was feeling depressed, he suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up.

"It's been more than fifteen years since I died. I wonder if Fuffy found the real Half Piece," He muttered and quickly looked it up on the internet. Then, he fell into an even deeper depression.

"I even defied death and came back to life just to see the real Half Piece, but these guys are still searching for it," He muttered with a look of disbelief on his face, feeling like crying.

Just as Evan was wallowing in his disappointment, Elora appeared beside him and asked in a curious voice, "Father, what is this Half Piece you're talking about?"

Evan glanced at Elora from the corner of his eye, and after noticing the curious look on her face, he immediately made an important decision.

'I can't let my daughter remain ignorant. I need to teach her culture.'

The next day, around ten in the morning, Leon came to Evan's house. He knocked on the door a few times, but no one answered or opened it.

Evan, who was about to stuff more popcorn into his mouth paused and a look of regret flashed across his face.

"I can't relax even if I want to, huh..." He muttered with a sigh, glancing at Elora, who was also busy munching on popcorn while watching the holographic screens with great interest.

"Daughter, do you want to come with me?" He asked while trying to sneak some popcorn from Elora's bucket.

Noticing Evan's attempt, Elora quickly hid her popcorn bucket with her small hands and scooted away from him, saying in a serious voice. "Don't disturb me, father."

Evan's mouth twitched slightly when he saw she didn't even take her eyes off the screens while speaking to him and he started to worry that he might have accidentally corrupted his daughter.

'She wouldn't become someone like my past self, right?' He thought, feeling slightly shaken at the thought of an Otaku Elora.

"Are you coming or not?" Leon asked in an irritated voice when Evan didn't stand up even after hearing him.

Hearing Leon, Evan took a deep breath and stood up, deciding to deal with Elora's problem after coming back.

"Who's the one who came to meet me?" He asked as Leon led him deeper within the fortress of the base city.

Leon paused at Evan's question but soon answered in a low voice, "It's one of the S+ Rank hunters. Her name is Valery."

Evan raised an eyebrow upon hearing Valery's name and a thoughtful look appeared on his face. He had planned not to meet her just yet, but now that she had come to see him, he decided to settle this matter.

Soon, Leon brought Evan in front of a door and gestured for him to go inside.

"You're not coming?" Evan asked when he saw Leon's gesture.

"I have to take care of some other matters, so you go ahead. I've already informed them about your request, so there shouldn't be any issues," Leon replied in a light tone before leaving.

Evan looked at the closed door in front of him, and after taking a deep breath he opened it.
