Ten grand is barely much for most bounty hunters, but to an average person, it's like 5 months of paid rent. If the persons bounty is low, usually they just leave it for the beginners, the amateurs to deal with. They're full of pride. If one hunter goes "I claimed a bounty of more than a million", they get their praise. Besides, who wants to hear someone brag about their one grand earning after catching a wanted criminal?

Boast about 10k? I wish. But I can't. My efforts go... unnoticed. When I first began bounty hunting; if that's what you call it, I expected a community full of open arms. Not literally, I don't enjoy physical contact. But to the shock I received when the reality is a community full of arrogant pricks thinking they're better than everyone else.

So instead of a job, I made it a hobby. I didn't mind taking in low jobs if it meant I got money out of it. The thing is, the lower the pay the easier the job. I needed more of a challenge for once. Something that'll make it all feel worth it. Something that makes me feel like I've went on a full wizard quest to complete. Unfortunately, in order to do so, I had to ask around. 

I looked around the lobby to see if there was anyone slightly knowledgeable. I decided to lock in and ask this one guy focused on the WANTED wall. Mission one: START.

"Excuse me, do you know if there are any difficult bounties I could take in?" Internally facepalming, I feel like I messed it up already.

The man roughly breathed through his nose as he thought, "Well, there is one that's been causing us difficulty. It's the one put up by Vishkar. Not sure if you're up to it though." He chuckled slightly at his 'joke' I didn't find amusing.

"Okay, thanks." I replied and walked away. Mission Completed. 

I wasn't going to stay and small talk, I just got what I needed. Now I only need to figure out who Vishkar wants so badly that no one has been able to find them yet. I've heard of Vishkar a few times, kind of odd how they're unable to find someone with the power they currently hold.

I had to look around for a while since I couldn't find a poster of the person Vishkar wanted. I (sadly) had to ask around once again for anything. Luckily someone who gave up on trying to find them gave me a Wanted poster. I took it and left. Hiding behind a wall, I unfolded the paper to see the face of the person and their name. As well as the reward for finding them.

As I examined the paper, it caught my eye; the reward was five hundred million. five fucking hundred million dollars for finding them. It was the first thing I wanted to see though so, now for their name: 'Niran Pruksamanee'. I won't lie, but out of all the males I've ever hunted, he was the prettiest of them all. And I won't have to kill him, the poster didn't say 'Dead or Alive' but just 'ALIVE'. 

Whatever they want him for, it must really be important if they want him alive. Although that's the hard part, getting him back alive. It's much easier to carry a dead body than a live one. 

Sigh...

This is going to take a lot of work.

Either drug them asleep for a good while, knock 'em out, and bring them to Vishkar. Or injure him enough where, he isn't dead, no, but isn't able to escape in any way. I feel like this will bring out a more sadistic side to me, but I'm willing to accept that, just this once.

It was pretty late in the night once I got back to my apartment. I know you'd expect someone making good money to live somewhere nicer, but I want to keep the money I've gained for more important stuff. Besides, I'd have less bills to pay on an apartment than a house.

I opened up my laptop to search for locations. Like many have said before, this man is tricky to find but I will find him. I can prove my worth if I manage to find the guy no one has been able to for years. But I've already thought of a way to try and narrow it down:

One, figure out where most wanted criminals tend to hide out and cross those locations out. Since he hasn't been found yet, it's likely he isn't in an area where other criminals are. Two, locations that aren't well known to the public. It's risky, but it could be the only way to find him. Finally, three, mark the locations the criminal could be. There isn't too much information given by Vishkar, so I just have to make a guess.

After three hours of thinking of possibilities, overthinking, and narrowing things down. I think I have a set list of locations Niran Pruksamanee could be. Unfortunately, there's one location I currently dread going to; the Antarctic Peninsula. I should probably head there first and confirm he's not there before going to the other locations I predict he's at. 

Now, to prepare.
