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 69. End Of The Qualifier.

The group trekked for a while before encountering another cluster of beasts. They dispatched them swiftly; it was no significant challenge, just a mix of one-star and two-star creatures.

"This is getting boring," Kayla muttered with a light chuckle. "I wonder when we'll face a real challenge. I'd like to see big sister in action."

Alastor found her use of "big sister" peculiar. It sounded as if there were years between them, but they were twins.

"Hmm, be careful what you wish for," Arthur murmured, the memory of their first raid flashing vividly in his mind.

"Psh, what's there to be scared of? We have big sister here, and…" she lowered her voice to a near whisper, "we have Alastor too."

"Hmmm," Arthur mumbled, his gaze shifting involuntarily towards Alastor. Kayla's words resonated with him. Since the hunt began, Katherine and Alastor were the only ones who hadn't been pushed to their limits. In fact, it seemed almost…casual for them.
