Sincere Guidance

Tyr was on the verge of an explosion. His face is positively a chili, unable to cope with the humiliation.

He has been hailed as the most talented heir of the Berlyn Family, receiving more praise than he deserves.

Yet, some unknown guy dared to be so impudent towards him!?

"Do you know who I am—?!"

Looking at the uncontrollable bundle of hormones, Urapus inwardly ridiculed the little man. Let me give you a piece of my mind.

"You should manage your emotions. It's not good to be provoked so easily. Aren't you an heir? Don't you understand how big of an impact caused by disputes between prominent families? So why are you acting like a cranky little shit?"

"Are you really gonna start a whole cold war just because of my cheap words? You are the most talented heir, aren't you? So why would you let a dispute big enough to cause continuous losses to your family to be waged all because of the words of some nameless, talentless kid you never even met?"

Urapus was ruthless in his words. Of course, in a normal circumstance, a person with high status would usually ignore such words, whether it was through shamelessness, ignorance, or even straight-up accepting the words with a straight face.

What are you gonna do even if I don't do it after accepting it? Report me to the official? Just a plenty amount of bribes and my name would be clear from any crimes.

Inwardly, Urapus marveled at the amazingness of sophistry. Using the available facts to conclude a very convincing outcome is quite a skill.

However, Tyr is not a politician. He's just a kid acting mighty. A soul with an inferiority complex so massive even he would turn envious towards the elasticity of a snake.

The barrage of sharp, insulting yet logical questions makes Tyr realize the truth. Unfortunately, whom possessed Tyr, a hormonal immature teenager, cannot accept such an outcome.

Urapus hides a smirk. The funny thing is, he truly said all of that with a good intention to make the kid realize his mistakes. It didn't even sound harsh, just cold, straight truth.

After all, he is immune to wrath.

Unfortunately, Tyr is too self-absorbed, to the point where it is painful to look at.

"Well, it's your loss."

[Quest: Tyr Berlyn.]

[Requirement: Guide Tyr Berlyn to the right path (Completed), or strip him of his authority by failing him of his binding process over 3 times.]

[First Requirement has been fulfilled!]

| Received 100,000 HP!

[Features have been unlocked: SHOP, Upgrade.]

In the interface, the avatar of the world looked speechless as the quest considered itself complete. She knew it was mentioned that Urapus must guide Tyr Berlyn to complete it.

However, there's a major typo here. Isn't the requirement supposed to be 'Succeed in guiding'?

"Is this intentional?"

The avatar of the world looked up to the sky, lost in her thoughts.

"B-Brother, don't you think it's too harsh for the kid?"

Roxanna, who was still in his arms, almost couldn't hold back the giggles that slipped through her tongue.

Although she was internally conflicted, knowing that Tyr Berlyn was supposed to be an ordinary heir who stayed in the Berlyn Household all day, she didn't have enough interest to dig deeper.

What matters the most is Urapus's cold words in preventing his advances to her.

In her mind, it looked like the First Hero personally defended her from the Outer Forces, shielding her from the heavy responsibility of saving the world.

Although it was too far-putting, she truly couldn't help it!

She didn't have a chance to feel such a mundane, beautiful feeling in her previous life. Lest having her imaginations running wild.

Especially since it was sourced from a very dashing boy!

Roxanna felt somewhat frustrated. You're a Sovereign! You couldn't be like this! This is embarrassing!

She inwardly slapped her cheeks. Stop! Must focus on cultivation! The world is still in danger!

She has no time for this!

"Just you wait! Heed my words, Rex Harden! I'll get my revenge even if it meant going against an entire family! Fuck you!"

"FUCK YOU!!!"

The vulgar words seem to be a blockage as the crowd suddenly froze. After all, it was quite a rarity to find someone so impudent, shouting so shamelessly.

The women who had been admiring Urapus just now were snapped out of their fantasies, looking at the noble son in shock.

Just how could an esteemed heir spouted out such vulgar words?

"That's Tyr Berlyn, right? To think that he is capable of saying them in public..."

"Even my bratty son wasn't that impudent. I guess we never knew what the prominent families are hiding, huh?"

The crowd isn't really disappointed. They just felt it was a pity. The Berlyn family has nothing to do with their city, so they don't feel so bad.

In comparison, Roxanna, who now has stood beside her 'brother', looked elegant, coldly looking at the Berlyn kid with shame and wrath.

The citizens started to feel proud.

Look, compared to other heirs and heiresses, our heiress is incomparably better and principled, with clear integrity. Not to mention her valiant and handsome 'brother'!

Although they never heard of him, so what?

Their aura is unmatched!

"Enough. If you just want to cause havoc in this city, then I suggest you to get out. You have no place in this city. Especially since you dared to badmouth my dear Brother!"

At the same time, the system appeared on Tyr's face as he ragingly left the scene to enter his private jet.

[Detected that the target, Roxanna Harden, has eternal hatred for the host and eternal love for another individual.]

[The system has judged that the binding process cannot be continued, for it was impossible to do so, and thus it canceled the bind.]

[As a repercussion, for the next target, you cannot receive the reward of 100 affection points.]

"ARGH!!!"

"Just you wait, you two little shits! I'll fucked you up real good! And who gives a damn about the affection of that brocon cunt?! I'll force her to be my sex slave sooner or later!"

Inside the jet, the pilot was stunned speechless as he looked at the mirror that reflected the raging heir, who screamed out such cruel words.

The pilot shivered. Has he been exposed to secrets he wasn't meant to hear? Knowing this, he quickly put dozens of earplugs on his ears to ensure that no sound could reach his eardrums.

So what if they start bleeding?

Thus, the whole time, as Tyr was raging in the back seat, the pilot's eyes never left the cockpit window.

It was very awkward.

"Finally, some interesting things!"

After a year of receiving a system that has no boons except for its intricately described talents, it finally has some other uses.

After an 'outing' with Roxanna, which she secretly insisted was a date, Urapus quickly went home and lay on the bed, looking at the new features with interest.

[The shop will be unlocked when 1,000 HP has been gathered. But dear Hero has successfully gathered 100,000 HP, which also unlocked the Upgrade feature.]

[As expected of the Hero!]

The avatar forced a smile on her face. Urapus twitched irritably. If you don't want to congratulate me, then don't do it. No one is forcing you.

[You could check them out on your own!]

As the avatar said this, the words on the interface dissolved, showing his status while revealing two new additions below the Hero Points.

| Hero Points: 100,802

[SHOP] | [Upgrade]

The Hero decisively chooses the former, and a whole new interface overlaps his status.

[SHOP]

> Perks

"...That's it?"

Urapus pursed his lips. Usually, this kind of feature would have some ungodly things like abilities and elixirs. Perhaps even talents.

[What do you mean that's it?! Perks are greater than you could imagine, and were on the same level as the system's talent above S-rank, which is equivalent to an EX-rank talent in your standard!]

"So that means these perks are above EX-rank talents?"

[Yes!]

The avatar of the world feels sad. The amount of authority she had spent to manifest such a procedure is ridiculous, yet the Hero dares to look down on it.

Hmph! If not for Her Excellency Astra's fixation on you, I...

I...

...

The avatar turned speechless by her own words. Other than Urapus, the First Hero, who else deserved this kind of treatment from her?

In the end, she could only hug her knees in the corner of the interface, which was noticed by Urapus, but couldn't care less because of the perks.

"They're pretty amazing, huh?"

Looking at the Hero's awe, the avatar of the world felt a lot better, and she smiled sweetly.

[Of course!]

[Perks]

| Balance: 100,802

??? (★★★)

| 500,000,000 HP [Recommended!]

??? (★★★★)

| 500,000,000,000 HP [Recommended!]

??? (★★★★★)

| 500,000,000,000,000 HP [Recommended!]

"Uhhh..."

Urapus was so speechless that he gaped, looking at the amount needed to collect these perks.

He worked hard for hundreds of them, yet the cheapest thing worth 500,000,000 HP?

He doesn't even want to look at that many zeros below the 500,000,000. Just looking at them is enough to descend him into a sense of existential crisis.

And the audacity to name the perks with question marks makes him question the system itself. Am I really that unworthy to know what could exist above there?

If that is so, then, why does he only need 1,000 HP to unlock the damn feature?

[These are the recommended items needed to assist the Hero in pursuing the peak of power!]

"Just... Just give me the things that are appropriate for my budget."

Truthfully, even the avatar itself has her eyes bulging at the perks provided by the system.

Is this not going overboard...?

The perks soon began to change. The ridiculous numbers are all gone, replaced by items reachable for the Hero to grasp with his current standing of power.

[Perks]

| Balance: 100,802 HP

Complete Meridians of the Body (★★)

| 30,000 HP

Perfect Circulatory System (★)

| 2,000 HP

Advanced Physique (★★)

| 50,000 HP

There are a lot of items that Urapus assumed to be useful. However, after a throughout look, he compiled the perks that would be beneficial for his growth.

There's no need to mention the importance of complete meridians. The difficulty of actually achieving it in the field is ludicrous. Just imagine drawing out every meridian, major and minor, in your body.

You have to be so intricate and focused, that if even a slight deviation happened, you will be crippled for life. It's that difficult.

Those minor meridians are the size of a tenth of a strand of hair. So unless an Awakener has talent that elevate their senses hundreds of times, it would be impossible to draw them out in the body, not to mention condensing them!

That's why in the world, only existed the 12 meridians, which mankind used as a general path of power. Because any further than that would be risky.

The eight extraordinary meridians are different. In his past life, Urapus's inner energy was massive, and thus the quantity was enough to circulate throughout the 20 meridians.

A certain ability is what made it possible. Unfortunately, it could only be practiced when he reached 7 years old. As of now, he could only draw them out.

The perfect circulatory system plays a very crucial role in circulating inner energy and blood, which will cause a significant enhancement for the body.

Especially since there would be no wasted inner energy. Unlike passive blood circulation, inner energy needs to be supervised by the Awakener. It needs to be actively circulated.

And humans are not perfect, thus in the process, it's inevitable for a sum of inner energy to be wasted.

For the Advanced Physique, Urapus has some ideas. He could only be certain after having it.

"I wished to save some for the upgrade feature, but these perks sound too good to be true."

There are many other good things, but Urapus found them unnecessary in his current situation.

Thus, as he received the selected perks, major changes began to happen.

Urapus could feel the tiny, intricate meridians being drawn out in his body, interconnected with the 20 major meridians he had drawn. When he condenses them, they will connect with his organs, creating advanced organ systems.

Unlike the major meridians that need adequate amount of inner energy to be condensed, these tiny meridians would instead helped the recovery of the inner energy after being condensed, and even throughougly enhanced the body! For even the smallest of anatomies would be nourished by the circulating inner energy.

Perfect circulation allowed him to perfect his arteries and veins even more, removing any impurities created by the mortal physique, resulting in a very clear and pure circulation.

His heart has also been strengthened, capable of pumping more blood throughout his body, and would be able to keep up if his body is under severe stress.

He hasn't circulated his inner energy yet, but that's not his main concern.

Urapus was putting his attention on the changes in his body! Every part feels like they are undergoing an elevation, enhancing its functions and durability significantly!

He could even feel the things he couldn't control before, like the skin, the passive muscles, and more! Though Urapus was afraid of accessing them, fearing that he may make some errors that could result in permanent disabilities.

After a few hours, as the impurities were emerging from the gaps in his cells, Urapus, who had already moved to the bathroom, took a deep breath.

He tensed his hands, noticing the perfect, masculine veins that bulged out, perfectly outlined by his enhanced skin. They don't look grotesque at all.

His eyes moved to the mirror, noticing his improvised face. He already thought of it as decent, but after receiving the Advanced Physique, he began to realize the previous imperfections on his face.

Of course, now that all of them are gone, he could only admire the fixed parts.

"It's amazing."

Urapus breathed out. He was thrilled. This is better than any talent he could receive. As for that binding ability or whatever?

He no longer envied the kid.

Talents? What are those? Just external abilities. Other than those physiques and constitutions, almost all of them could be replicated by learning appropriate abilities.

Although it required dozens of years to imitate the proficiency of those talents, they're not out of reach.

Besides, it's not like he needs to control every object of said talent available in the vicinity. Just a bit to gain an unexpected upper hand in a battle is sufficient.

Urapus looked at his status in satisfaction, especially the new addition below the talent.

[Status]

| Host: Urapus

| Realm: Mortal Stage 5

| Quality: Rare (Legendary)

| Hero Points: 18,802

[SHOP] | [Upgrade]

As he leisurely lay on his bed, Urapus's eyes glinted upon seeing the last feature. If SHOP was already that good, then how about this one?

He has high hopes. Obviously, since SHOP required a lot of HP, this feature naturally required the same.

But so what?

A man can dream, right?
