They're weapons that his ancestors used to use.
"They just need a little fixing and they'll be fine…"
The most amazing weapons were hanging on the walls, the the best ones ever made. They were all old and have been used a lot. He opens the box to see what's inside. He then turns and looks towards another small weapon room.
This is the place his dad collected arrows. There were three big and small archery strings stored on the top of the storage. On the left side there were inherited stones of various shapes and arrows lined up to its end. On the right side there were weapons made with new materials like recover protection and compound protection and other things hanging on the wall.
Rattle
Jaehw.a.n.g walked over towards the room to the left and closely at the compound protection hanging on the wall. This was the present that his dad had left him. But they were not for hunting animals, they were for hunting monsters. The hunters used compound protection made with special alloy.
The arrow was quite expensive, it's about 100 pounds heavy and it can protect you from an attack by a wild pig. Of course it wouldn't work as well with the monster life in this dimension.
This special material can add an extra 200 pounds. The usual weight was about 100 pounds.
"Sigh…"
He adjusted a few things including the compound protection. He pulled a few strings and took a deep breath.
He rested there and pulled the strings a few dozen and hundred times but, he didn't feel the same enjoyment pulling the arrows as he used to.
He then decided to use the weapons on the left and to use the strength consuming compound protection… He went to the hunting equipment hanging on the wall to the right and got a hunting belt along with some other things.
"Stupid wild pigs… I will hunt them down."
***
Taktak…tak…
Jaehw.a.n.g followed his parent's hunting footsteps. He began the hunt and started tracing down those pigs. He puts on a black baseball cap and dark khaki colored spotted pants. He knew that the road was long but he made up in his mind that he will keep moving no matter what.
He used to prepare so much more and take so many things when he was a beginner but now, he has nothing but his bow and arrows and the compound protection. He packed about one hundred arrows and almost all the essentials before he went out. Knowing that it could be dangerous when you don't have enough things and you came in contact with a wild pig. Your body will not always be the heaviest thing and even if the wild pigs were smaller than usual, one could still get hurt if he/she was careless or came in unprepared.
"The shelter area hasn't changed a bit."
Jaehw.a.n.g stood between a tree and some rocks as he took a look around. Wild pigs could be found everywhere on the mountain, it was always hard to estimate how many there could be.
'If I could guess, I would say that it's about more than 100… Maybe less than 50….'
It may be more than that but he's not scared. If he was scared of something like a wild pig then he couldn't call himself a descendant of the best tiger hunters in the past.
"Everything will go great."
He will hunt the pigs and chase them away, it was a plan that sounded simple in mind but he also had to double check everything. He needed to make sure that everything would end up good for the benefit of the village, his parent's heritage and his own safety. So after closing his eyes to build up his focus, he stood up on his feet and climbed up on the tree beside him.
Shwosh Shwosh…
He ran as if he's climbing on the air like a fast monkey. Everything was easy for him to grab and jump onto since the tree leaves are big and the branches are heavy. He then found a spot high in the tree and looked around in the air with his eyes half open. All that he had to do now was to wait. Jaehw.a.n.g then started to close his eyes as everything began to quiet down.
And then… Hiding out was going great but then, there was something that he was missing… Giant wild pigs started to show up in the resting area about three meters away from the tree.

It got darker and bugs had started to crawl around.
The cold wind blew across the mountain peak and through the trees. The leaves had begun to s.h.i.+ver along with his limbs as the branches had started to creak, making it a bit hard for him to sleep. He was still feeling a little half-asleep but he was able to collect his focus as soon as he heard a noise.
Tatak…Tak…
As soon as he heard something. He detected small but frivolous footsteps and after a few more seconds, a wild pig appeared. The shelter area was then occupied by 20 to 30 more of them entered the resting area and started to dig into the ground. Soon the biggest pig that looks like the leader, walks into the middle of the resting area.
It appeared to weigh about 200 Kilograms. It raised its head and looked all around the place. It then settled in the middle of the shelter area and started to rest. A giant male pig came with a female pig following along beside it. There's also a baby pig following a female pig.
He watched the peaceful scenery of the wild pig family… but that beautiful scenery was soon ruined as his arrows began to rain down on them.
Swoosh…Swoosh….
Kwiik!!
After that, the babies and the once calm female pigs shook in fear and violently buried their heads into the ground. The arrows haven't hit any of them yet but the pigs are confused on what's going on. Their wild instincts caused them to stay still and bury their heads into the floor as others ran around in panic.. The flurry of arrows continued until one hit the ground where the head of a giant female wild pig was buried.
Kkwiik!
The second shot hits a female pig and it screamed a painful shriek right before it died. After seeing that the other pigs ran away all in different directions to escape. Silence had started to spread for a moment until the oldest pig did a called and another male pig and escaped.
It was a 200-kilogram pig but still with the special quality of a wild animal. It could run away in zigzags while maintaining its fast speed. But before it could even get ten meters away it got shot in the head and fell to the ground with a big thump.
It was a big one but the long arrow hit its head making it struggle to yell as it fell. He looked at it and then shot another arrow. It went deep into its eye, making its lifeless body drop to the dirt.
Swoosh Swoos.h.!.+ Kwiik!
The wild pig that stood in the center then died ushering others to run around in confusion. They finally began to leave the shelter area and the female pigs runs away with their babies running beside them.
Ttak…
He came out of the tree with the littlest of noise. He stretched, looked around and suddenly started to run.
Takk…Tak…
There's no light on the mountain but that won't stop him. It looked like the pigs were completely gone but looks like they often run on this path. They didn't intend on chasing him, that was just the path that they knew best so there was nowhere else they would be. He saw a female pig as he ran so he lifted his bow and took another shot. It went about 60 meters far…
Swoosh…Pakk!
Kwiik!
The arrow struck the female pig, making it scream as it sunk into the ground. Without even watching to see if she died, he quickly shot at another.

"Bakbak…"
The sound of chickens woke Mr. Song at dawn. He yawned and got out of bed. He had gray, hair he's getting older and can't get up every day like he used to.
Ttak…Tak….
He hears a noise coming from the quietness of outside.
"Son!"
"Yes, grandfather?…"
He heard the voices of the kids that have woken up before him. About 20 years ago when they started helping, he used to bring their families from their hometown. But then something happened, one of his legs got badly injured.
To the Mountains again… 3 The end.
