Level Up: Assassin.

The universe has always operated by a single, unwavering law: "Survival of the fittest." This fundamental rule governs everything, living or non-living. It was this very law that Alastor found himself entangled with. Awakening in a forest on planet Earth, in a forgotten corner of the universe, Alastor possessed no memories of his life before the age of four. Growing up, he quickly learned the brutal truth of this society: power was the currency of respect and longevity. Alastor clung to the hope of unraveling the mystery of his past. But his hopes were seemingly crushed when his bloodline ability manifested as [Speed]. It was an ability widely considered weak due to its inherent limitations, doing little to enhance his standing in this power-obsessed world. Just when his dream of uncovering his past began to flicker and fade, a glimmer of hope emerged. The pendant he wore, a constant presence he vaguely remembered from his earliest memories, suddenly flared to life. It was his only tangible connection to his past. And then, a bright blue screen materialized before his eyes. ----- [SYSTEM DETECTED. HOST COMPATIBILITY CONFIRMED.] [SYSTEM INITIATING BINDING SEQUENCE...]

Chapter 59. The Outcome [Part 2.]

As the official departed, leaving Wan Yu in the company of the guards, the bulky guard approached him.

"Mr. Wan Yu, you have to believe me. Master Kaleb and your brother were close friends. There's no way Master Kaleb would have harmed him. He wouldn't even hurt an ant, let alone a friend," the burly guard insisted, his voice laced with worry.

"It's your word against a mountain of evidence. You need to prove Kaleb's innocence. And don't try to convince me some fog ability user escaped through the window," Wan Yu stated, his voice firm and resolute.

"But it's the truth! You have to believe me!" the burly guard pleaded, but Wan Yu seemed unmoved.

"I wasn't the only one who noticed something. These two did as well," the burly guard said, gesturing towards two guards standing amongst the others. They were the same two who had arrived just after Alastor had slipped into Kaleb's room, the ones who had detected the faint aura of his Shadow Domain.
