Chapter 12: Eyes Changes
The notification windows stopped appearing, and the sharp pain in the also ceased, allowing him to open his eyes again.
Erik opened his eyes slowly and was very surprised at what he was seeing.
"Wow, I never thought things would look so clear!"
His vision had improved to a humanly impossible level, even surpassing the strongest hunters, vision-wise.
Everything he saw was extremely impressive. The place was filled with particles of many colors.
He could even see with perfection the small dirt in one corner of the room.
But the more he focused his eyes, the more he could see until he reached a point where all his vision changed completely to black and white.
"What's happening?"
Erik began to panic at the sudden change in his vision. The walls in front of him completely disappeared and all he saw were souls that were light blue all over.
The world before his eyes was completely alien to him. There were all kinds of souls, from those in human form to those that were completely unrecognizable, as if they were screaming in agony.
Gradually his vision returned to normal, but with the change that he could still see everything clearly, apart from the colored particles in the air.
"Haa... haa... What did I just see?"
He exclaimed breathing heavily and with a pale expression, as a cold sweat ran down his forehead.
He is in shock at what he has just witnessed. He hadn't expected at all that his vision would suddenly change like this, where he could see souls... or so he thought, as he wasn't sure what he was seeing.
Was it a figment of his imagination or not? But he was sure it was real.
Intent on no longer thinking about what he had just experienced, he opened the status to see how many levels he had climbed.
'Status window'.

"I'm already level ten! And my stats are already in double digits, good, good!"
Erik is pleased to see his current status, it seems that everything he suffered was not in vain, and it was worth it.
'Hmm, my stats went up by one point for every level I went up, skill proficiency didn't increase.'
Erik put his hand on his chin, as he reflected on his condition. And at that moment a window appeared in front of him.
[When reaching level ten I know I unlock a new function of Fenrir points].
[Now you can improve a specific statistic].
Erik's expression changed to one of confusion.
'How could I come to him if I had no idea what had happened in the test? He was unconscious.'
"But what happened in the test?"
He wanted to know what had happened during the test, as he had no idea about the incident.
Leon looked back and indicated to Aella to explain what had happened.
Aella stepped forward and began to explain in a serious voice
"What happened in the test was that a loud roar of a wolf was heard and all the monsters started to die. The same thing happened to some of the participants."
She summed up in a few words what happened in the ordeal. Aella was still in shock as she witnessed everything that had happened in the forest.
More than half of it was completely dead and there was no sign of life. She had never witnessed anything like that in her entire life; it was as if the 'End' had come to that place.
"And what does any of this have to do with me?"
Erik asked, totally bewildered. He didn't understand how this incident could be related to him, since, as far as he knew, he had no connection to what had happened.
Did it matter to him what had happened at the test? Of course, he didn't.
Everyone in that place was a stranger to him, and one of those strangers wanted to take his life and show him the reality of things.
So he cares little about what happens to the lives of the hunters.
"The reason we came here is because the report I received indicated that the roar came from the area where you were found unconscious."
Leon said with a tired expression. He had been working overtime all this time because of this incident.
Now Erik was even more confused than before. All he found were undead skeleton monsters and the individual the guy who cut his entire body and then died from the skeleton attack.
"That's why and what does it have to do with me? The only thing I found were skeletons and a guy who died from the attack of one of them."
"Are you sure about what you said?"
"Yes."
"Hmm..."
Leon was silent, thinking, then asked:
"By the way, when did you wake up as a hunter?"
"I woke up two days ago."
"Isn't it a little unwise to take the test right after waking up?"
"Yes, it is dangerous, but my financial situation is not good enough to pay for a course to train my powers."
Leon kept silent, knowing that what he was saying was true. Since he had already researched it, he knew he entered the irregular dungeon.
Seeing that they had nothing else to do, he got up from his chair to leave the place, as he had a lot of work to attend to at the moment.
"Hey, one question, did I pass the test, or will it be my turn to take it again?"
Leon paused and looked him seriously in the eyes for a few seconds before speaking.
"Are you seriously asking about that? After hearing what happened, you don't seem to care what happened to those affected?"
"I don't care about those affected, they're all strangers to me. I'm sure none of them would care in the least if I died."
Erik said with a completely neutral voice and a cold expression.
Leon remained silent and the others were puzzled by this answer. Although he was not wrong in what he said, it was all true, and to say otherwise would be hypocritical on his part.
The atmosphere in the room became tense as Leon stared into Erik's cold eyes for a few seconds until he broke the silence:
"Sure, you passed the test by surviving, as indicated. When you leave the hospital, go claim your hunter card."
With that said, Leon walked out of the room with the others, leaving him alone in the room again.
