"We're home," the black-haired man said lightly, carrying a princess-like woman in his arms, Alice, who was sleeping soundly.

Possibly out of extreme concern, she didn't seem to be able to open her eyes anytime soon.

Theos placed his newly acquired weapon on a table and left Alice in the maid's room.

But Theos had only taken three steps when he stopped. "What if she stays in my room?" he muttered as an idea began to form in his mind.

With this thought in mind, Theos smiled and walked up the stairs with Alice in his arms. After kicking the door, he entered quite naturally.

The room was spotless, as always, without a stain or speck of dust. Seeing the queen-sized bed, Theos carefully placed Alice there, not wanting to wake her from her sleep. "You've been through a lot today, you must be tired."

He kissed her on the forehead, and she responded with a cute, unconscious smile. Theos left the room and went back downstairs.

He picked up his new sword from the table and went outside. "Did you call them?" he asked as soon as he came out to the dozens of people in front of him.

Each of them looked professional, with a suit and a strong, intimidating body, but under Theos' cold gaze, they were nothing more than ants.

'They must feel guilty for not being able to protect me' Theos concluded as he saw the expressions on each of the bodyguards in front of him. They all reflected disappointment, anger at themselves, and most of all, fear at the thought of what might happen if Theos' father, and more importantly, his mother, found out that their son had been forced to go on a killing spree alone. And they could do nothing about it because of the large number of hooded men who had blocked him.

Such a thought frightened the bodyguards, who immediately knelt before him. "Yes, Your Highness," they said in unison.

"Mmm, well, what did she say?" he asked, raising an eyebrow in curiosity.

"She said she'd be here in a few minutes with what you asked for."

"Well done, let her in…. You can go now." Under the cold night wind, Theo's hair moved in rhythm, while the darkness of the night further highlighted his glowing left eye, the crimson eye.

The guards' hair stood on end, along with the goosebumps, and they all dispersed without a word or a question, just…. They vanished into the darkness of the night.

When he looked at the moon since it was not a full moon, it did not look as beautiful, but the natural beauty of the moon was there.

Theos lost himself in the beauty of the moon; he had always been fascinated by the natural beauty of things, and the moon was no exception. 'The beginning of the novel is over, the first arc' he repeated in his mind.

'Status.'

[Name: Theos Von Fallen.

Age: 17 years old

Path: Oblivion - ¿??

Race: Human - ¿?

Rank: Advanced Peak (By Proxy)

Skills: ¿??, Attraction of Heroines, Attraction of Hate.

Negative Mana: 42,100]

Theos could not be proud of himself as he looked at the state he was in. 'My power has increased more than tenfold? This is too scary' he thought with pleasure.

Power would always be welcome to him, and the power he had gained on his first day as a transmigrant was to be applauded. 'System, describe the skill Hate Attraction' he ordered.

[Hate Vision: With its Eye of Oblivion, you will be able to directly observe negative energy, perceive the aura of negative thoughts, emotions, and feelings of a living or non-living being, as well as expand your field of vision… You can evolve] the system explained.

Theo's smile widened… That's why he could see the aura of people's negative thoughts! It's the ability he received amid battle, possibly from continued exposure to so much negative energy.

Such an ability is not easy. Its unknown range only proved that its limits knew no bounds.

'System, how can I develop this skill?' he asked with curiosity and excitement.

[In order to evolve it, you need to use it constantly, gain an understanding of the skill, and gain at least 200,000 negative energy].

"…" When he looked at the requirements to develop the skill, he knew immediately that it would not be an easy and quick path. It might take months.

'I see, as far as my Peak Advanced strength is concerned, it means that I have the strength of a Peak Advanced due to my negative energy, but that I can't officially be considered a Peak Advanced, right?' asked Theos, as a fan of the novel, he knew all about it, but as a living being in it, he had to confirm any doubts to get the most out of it.

[Indeed, host. When the path is awakened, which is usually when you are born, that is when you can train. Every rank, basic, intermediate, advanced, master, grandmaster, expert, supreme, and demigod. In order to gain these ranks, you have to gain an understanding of your path, for each rank, you have to go up and up your understanding, each rank also has its requirements, for example, to train for the advanced rank, you have to use your path as a form of aura], he explained the system, which despite being extensive, Theos resolved all his doubts at least in this section.

'It is similar, if not the same, as in the novel,' he said relieved, clenching his fist.

'In the information of the novel, Theos couldn't use his Way and Ability until he turned 18 when a big crack opened up in the seal.' Remembering all the information given about Theos in the novel, he no longer felt calm.

'There are only one weeks until my 18th birthday, and one weeks and a few days to attend the Academy…', remembering the whole plot, Theos felt a headache.

But he had no time to rest, even though he was extremely tired from consuming so much negative energy. He still had to stand there and wait for that someone…. Who didn't take long to arrive.

"Hello, Ark… Oh, The Fallen."
