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 29. A Zydrate

"What the actual hell!" Alastor swore, his eyes fixed on the end of his dagger.

Impaled on the point, pinned to the cavern's floor, was the source of their troubles – a slimy, pulsating, blue insect-like creature, no bigger than his fist. A wave of surprised understanding washed over him. This tiny thing had been attached to the tree, controlling it. E's attack had dislodged it, and the dead tree had instantly become inert.

"What in the world is this?" Alastor muttered to himself. Just then, a crushing wave of mental energy slammed into him, radiating outwards and engulfing the area. It was far more potent than anything they had experienced before. The force of the psychic assault instantly incapacitated his companions. Only Alastor remained standing, shielded by the protective barrier of his system.
