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 74. Dinner.

Kendric guided the team to their dinner venue: a massive hall carved directly into the heart of a mountain. The space buzzed with activity. Thousands of teenagers milled about, their numbers swelling as more streamed in. The hall resonated with a cacophony of sounds – metal clanging against metal, the clatter of ceramics, and a rising tide of voices that made conversation a near impossibility.

"Hey, Alastor!" Arthur's voice cut through the din. Alastor turned to find Arthur pointing across the hall.

"Over there," Arthur said.

Following Arthur's gesture, Alastor spotted Marcus and Kayla already seated at a table tucked away in a corner.

"Let's go," Arthur murmured, leading the way.

As they approached, Marcus and Kayla greeted them with wide smiles.

"Hey, guys," Arthur said as they reached the table.

"Hey," Marcus and Kayla replied in unison.

"Where's Katherine? Have you seen her?" Arthur asked, glancing around.
