The Weakest Hunter In Nigeria

With Akin and his co-conspirators apprehended, Olutola's reputation within the Hunter Association soared. Many respected him for his skill and integrity, but a few remained skeptical of his meteoric rise. 

Olutola decided to focus on honing his abilities and understanding the full extent of his system. Late one evening, after an exhausting training session, he felt a sudden surge of energy within him. His system interface appeared, displaying a new notification.

[System Update: New Skill Available]

[Skill Unlocked: Shadow Army]

Description: Summon an army of shadows to fight by your side. Shadows retain a portion of their original strength and abilities.

Olutola's heart raced. This new skill had the potential to change everything.

The next morning, Olutola woke up with a renewed sense of purpose. He decided to test his new ability in a controlled environment, choosing a deserted training ground on the outskirts of Lagos. As he stood in the center of the field, he focused his energy, summoning the shadows.

One by one, dark figures emerged from the ground, forming an imposing army. Olutola watched in awe as the shadows materialized, each one resembling a fallen foe he had previously defeated. They moved with silent precision, their eyes glowing faintly.

Olutola's mind raced with possibilities. This skill not only enhanced his combat abilities but also provided a strategic advantage. He could deploy his shadows in various missions, ensuring he always had an edge over his enemies.

Later that day, Olutola decided to put his new skill to the test in a real-world scenario. He joined a group of hunters on a mission to clear a mid-level dungeon. As they ventured deeper into the dungeon, the team encountered a horde of beasts, their eyes gleaming with malice.

"Olutola, this is the perfect opportunity to show us what you've got," one of the hunters said, smirking.

Olutola nodded, his expression calm. He took a deep breath and summoned his shadow army. The hunters watched in astonishment as the shadows materialized, taking on the form of fearsome warriors.

"Let's see how they handle this," Olutola muttered, directing his shadows toward the beasts.

The battle that ensued was unlike anything the hunters had ever seen. The shadows fought with relentless precision, their movements fluid and deadly. Olutola felt a surge of power coursing through him, his connection with the shadows strengthening with each passing moment.

The hunters watched in awe as Olutola's shadows decimated the horde, leaving no beast standing. When the dust settled, they turned to Olutola, their expressions a mix of admiration and fear.

"Unbelievable… He's a one-man army," one of the hunters whispered.

Olutola dismissed his shadows, feeling a sense of satisfaction. He knew he had earned their respect, but more importantly, he had proven to himself the true potential of his system.

As the days passed, Olutola continued to train, perfecting his control over the shadows. He also began to attract the attention of powerful figures within the Hunter Association. Some saw him as a valuable asset, while others viewed him as a threat to their own ambitions.

One evening, as Olutola was relaxing in his apartment, his phone buzzed with a new message. It was from an unknown number.

"Meet me at the rooftop of the central building. Midnight."

Olutola frowned, sensing an air of mystery. He decided to investigate, his curiosity piqued. At midnight, he made his way to the rooftop, the city lights of Lagos casting a soft glow in the distance.

As he reached the rooftop, he saw a figure standing by the edge, their back turned to him.

"Who are you?" Olutola called out, his voice steady.

The figure turned, revealing a familiar face. It was an old acquaintance, someone he hadn't seen in years.

"Olutola… It's been a long time," the figure said, a hint of a smile playing on their lips.

Olutola's eyes widened in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

"I've been watching you. You've grown strong, but there's still much you don't know about the world of hunters. I'm here to offer you a deal," the figure replied.

Olutola's curiosity intensified. "What kind of deal?"

The figure stepped closer, their eyes gleaming with intent. "Join me. Together, we can uncover the true secrets of the Hunter Association and bring about a new era. But first, you need to prove your loyalty."

Olutola's mind raced. This was an unexpected twist, but he knew that accepting the offer could lead to greater power and knowledge. However, it also came with risks.

"What do I need to do?" Olutola asked, his voice firm.

The figure smiled. "There's a mission. A dangerous one. If you succeed, you'll have my trust and access to information that could change everything. Are you ready?"

Olutola took a deep breath, feeling the weight of the decision. He knew this was a turning point, a chance to elevate himself to new heights.

"I'm ready," he said, his resolve unwavering.
