Chapter 137: 116 Twilight Story (4100)_1

A massive amount of information surged like a tide through my mind.

Dusk, the name of the original owner of this body. Unlike Li Wei, the owner of the Wind Elephant Ivory Pendant, Dusk was a man.

A real man!

A tough guy whom even Casio couldn’t help but admire!

Originally, Dusk was a resident of a certain region on the border of the Hong Li Federation. He had a family composed of his parents and a sweet little sister. Although they were not particularly wealthy, the four of them were very happy together.

However, one day over a decade ago, the Hong Li Federation and a neighboring country fell into friction and disputes, even initiating a small-scale war.

The cannons roared, the ruins crumbled. Countless people perished in the chaos, including Dusk’s parents.

His parents died, and his hometown was destroyed.

Being only ten at the time and his sister just five, they were left orphaned. They were taken into the “Tomorrow” Orphanage. But there was no tomorrow in the Tomorrow Orphanage. Instead of a warm home, it was rife with filth and crime. From a young age, Dusk was stubborn. He fought fiercely to protect his sister.

Three years later, Dusk seized an opportunity to escape the orphanage with his sister. Since then, they wandered around the Federation, doing odd jobs. He wasn’t old enough to do much else than make a meager wage.

With his sister, he would huddle in their rain-leaking shack, gnawing on dark bread.

In the following years, he was bullied by thugs, exploited by shop owners, chased by dogs and mocked by children. But Dusk wasn’t broken by life. His name was Dusk, but he carried a rising sun in his heart. He didn’t believe in fate, but in himself. He even scrimped and saved to send his sister to school, taking time out of his busy work schedule to study.

Life was tough and hard, but there was hope.

Later on, Dusk managed to get admitted into a university. He worked part-time and saw the opportunity to change his own fate. After he graduated from college a few years later, he could see a bright dawn just ahead of him.

But fate had its cruel joke, Dusk’s sister fell ill with a terminal disease, which had been sown in her from a young age. During those years they survived in the leaking shack, they went from being hungry to being full.

Dusk wanted to save his sister, but he needed a huge amount of money, much more than he could get from loans. He tried everything he could, bringing him as close to despair as he’d ever been. Then, through a stroke of luck, he heard a far-fetched rumor. Apparently, there was a place called Black Rain Villa in the mountains along the coastline of East Sea County. If one could find this villa, one could obtain everything they wanted, including money.

It sounded like urban folklore, but Dusk, out of options, went anyway. And indeed, against all odds, he discovered the villa shrouded in mist! Inside the villa was an organization known as the Eerie Night Guests, which bore some resemblance to a killer organization.

However, the truth was far from simple; the villa was more of a living entity, as it would assign tasks to the Eerie Night Guests.

The tasks of the Eerie Night Guests did not involve killing people, but hunting down inhuman monsters hidden within human society.

If the Eerie Night Guests successfully completed the periodic tasks assigned to them, they would be rewarded by the villa. They could choose anything they want, whether it be wealth, longevity, or even mysterious powers beyond human comprehension!

Dusk had no other choice; he accepted the task right away.

He received some basic training from the Eerie Night Guests, who taught him how to use a handheld crossbow, and was then left to fulfill his task. After half a month, Dusk returned to Black Rain Villa, severely injured. After going through hell and high water, he managed to complete the newbie task assigned by the villa.

Without hesitation, he exchanged his reward for a significant sum of money. But when he arrived at the hospital full of joy, he received the devastating news. His sister had passed away while he was halfway through his task. From then on, Dusk was alone in the world.

After holding a funeral for his sister, he started to frequently accept tasks from the Black Rain Villa. He believed that the villa might have the power to resurrect the dead. Thus, the time when Casio arrived overlapped with Dusk’s fifth mission: to hunt down the Blood Clan.

In this mission, Dusk met the second important woman in his life. He killed an member of the Blood Clan that had been hiding among humans, yet he was critically injured when trying to escape. A blonde woman named Julia saved him, and they developed feelings for each other. Dusk continued to fulfill his tasks, striving to resurrect his dead sister. An old man, aware of his situation, informed him that while Black Rain Villa was incredibly powerful in some ways, it could not bring people back to life. He himself had been obsessed with trying.

The girl he wanted to save simply couldn’t be brought back.

Dusk was heavily impacted. He contemplated leaving Black Rain Villa, reluctant to frequently step onto the thin ice of life and death. Dusk wanted a simple life with Julia in a small, secluded town. However, once becoming an Eerie Night Guest of Black Rain Villa, people were obligated to periodically undertake tasks. If one were to violate this rule, they would be hunted and killed by the Decayed Knights roaming in the Black Rain of the villa.

With no other choice, Dusk could only endure and continue to fulfill his tasks.

On one mission, he received information about a secret medicine that could induce a state of fake death. The Decayed Knights would think the Eerie Night Guest was dead and leave them be.

For the life he yearned for, Dusk braved the unknown.

After many trials and tribulations, he was lucky enough to obtain the secret medicine.

He found a secluded place, took the secret medicine and entered the state of fake death. As expected, the Decayed Knight deemed him dead and left him be. A day later, Dusk woke up, extremely relieved. He excitedly returned home, eager to share the good news with Julia. But what he saw instead was a scene of utter devastation and Julia’s corpse.
