Chapter 161: Running Alone - Part 1

While Shin was shocked about the rewards, he was happy at the same time.

The reason was simply because of the tremendous boost that he would receive with the stats. The item which he received was something like a boon because he could actually bring the dead back to life.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call that a miracle because almost everyone would try to get a hold of such an artifact.

Yes, the condition did provide that it would work only if someone is dead for two minutes, but that didn't mean that there was no chance at all.

Whatever, the issue was over and everyone's status had been modified.

It was all well and good but there was still something left to do.

Yes, a clan name had yet to be decided upon.

Those were the last texts that were being shown by the system.

[ Choose a name for your clan ]

[ -> Name 1: Wild Predators ]

[ -> Name 2: Bloody Hunters ]

[ -> Name 3: White Wolf ]

[ -> Name…]

[…]

[ -> Choose your own name ]

Unlike earlier, the system gave Shin options of choosing the names. He was surprised to see that.

Of course, one of the options showed that Shin could choose his own, but then again, the options seemed pretty tempting.

Well, the names did have deep meanings but they only centered towards hunting or preying.

'A predator…'

'That's who I am…'

'And that's what the system tries to make me.' – Shin nodded his head while thinking this.

The fact that the name of the system was 'Supreme Predator System' was evidence of his thoughts.

And Shin didn't disregard the fact that he was definitely a predator, a wolf at that.

But that was not all. He wasn't just some mere wolf.

Yes, he had intelligence surpassing many, the ability to lead all, luck, power, ambition and kindness.

He had the kindness from his previous life which woke up once again after spending time with Aella.

Even now, when he was going to decide a name for the clan, he looked at the faces of the elves who were rejoicing and his familia members who were happy too.

'Ya…'

'Just like how Sin portrays Ruling…'

'I will choose a name that would symbolize a ruler where my name will stand too!'

"…"

A second, or maybe a minute – that's all it took for him to decide.

"Lou Shin…"

"The name of our clan will be Lou Shin!", Shin concluded.

'Ding'

[ Command accepted ]

[ Clan name: Lou Shin ]

[ Clan Leader: Shin ]

[ Clan Vice-Leader: <not appointed> ]

[ Clan Ranking: 893 ]

[ Clan Power: 5 ]

[ Clan Members: 497 ]

[ Familia name: Sin ]

( -> Name given to the familia during its creation )

[ Familia Leader: Shin ]

( -> Name of the current familia leader )

[ Familia Ranking: 99996 ]

( -> Rank of the familia in the world ( Ranked based on achievements judged by Supreme Celestials ) )

[ Familia Power: 5 ]

( -> Number of members in the familia with names )

[ Familia Members: 5 ]

( -> Number of total members in the familia )

All this information was dumped by the system on Shin as soon as he chose a name for the clan.

There weren't any specific boosts or rewards given specifically for the naming, but it was fine since Shin had already received rewards for forming a clan.

In any case, now two of his goals were completed – a familia and a clan.

Two more major ambitions – A kingdom and an Empire – were still left but those could be left for later.

Now, the clan was formed so Shin had tons of work to do. Yes, forming and running a clan isn't as easy as it sounds because there would be many things that one has to do.

'Aella…' – she was the one and only thing that he would never forget.

Well, it was soon late night and everyone fell asleep. Even the elves, who had nothing to worry about because of the natural monster repellant, fell asleep.

Shin was the only one who was awake at the moment.

'My heart…'

'It's racing…'

'I can't sleep here while I know where Aella has gone…', Shin was nervous.

He slowly got up while looking here and there secretively to see if anyone was awake.

Fortunately no. No one was awake.

The Arb elves were more like kids so they required long sleep, also, since they were small, they wouldn't form good guards. 

That's why they never had a guard during the night.

In any case, Shin thought that it was the perfect opportunity for him to make use of the skill Dash.

If just by walking it would take 4-5 hours to travel, then with the help of his skill where his speed was essentially increased by 2-3 times, it would hardly take an hour or two.

'There are still 7 hours remaining before the sunrise…', Shin said to himself.

'Yes…'

'I think I can complete my search and return.', was what Shin decided and without wasting any more time, slowly stood up and walked quietly for a minute or two until he was a hundred meters away from the area.

Well, all his active skills had leveled up after he formed the clan so now his skill Dash had greater efficiency.

[ Dash Lv.10 ]

'Ding'

[ You have used the skill Dash ]

-> Your speed is raised by 200%

-> Dexterity of the limbs is increased by 70%

-> Fatigue will start to get accumulated by 0.04 per second.

-> Skill will get deactivated automatically the moment fatigue reaches 20

He used the skill and vanished almost immediately without waiting and giving any explanation to anyone.

It was wise since other's would only worry if he were to go alone. And if they were to accompany him, then it would take an awful amount of time to search her.

That was why he decided to go alone.

He knew not if it was the right decision but he knew for sure that it would take off the burden from his heart that was causing such an irregular beating.

Shin vanished from the area and no one knew anything about it, not until Shin went missing and never returned even after the sun rose.

"…"
