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.

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 32. The Daily Grind

The pale moon hung in the sky, casting a soft glow over the desolate wasteland. A hover car sliced through the barren terrain, effortlessly navigating its way towards its destination.

Soon, the vehicle made its final turn, heading towards a dilapidated building partially reclaimed by nature. Vines and creeping plants clung to its crumbling walls. As the car drew closer, its headlights illuminated a figure lurking in the shadows. Hooded and seemingly relaxed, the figure straightened as the car approached.

The hover car arrived at the building with a smooth, controlled skid. The driver's side door popped open the moment the vehicle stopped, and the driver hurried to the rear to open the passenger door.

Wan Yu, stepped out of the car. He wore a black business suit and sunglasses, despite the night. The sunglasses, however, weren't for the sun. They concealed his eyes, protecting others from the effects of his bloodline ability.
