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 36. Neighbors.

Ms. Flinch was taken aback by Alastor's unwavering confidence. A flicker of doubt crossed her mind. Could he actually afford this apartment? Regardless of her personal skepticism, Alastor was still a client, and she was obligated to fulfill his request. They left her office and headed towards the apartment building.

However, upon realizing that Alastor hadn't arrived in his own vehicle and that they would have to use hers, her initial doubts resurfaced, stronger than before. The sliver of hope she had entertained briefly vanished completely.

After a short drive, they arrived at the apartment building, a large structure housing numerous units. Ms. Flinch led Alastor to the apartment in question.

Alastor took his time inspecting the space. Everything was to his liking. It was luxurious, spacious, and, most importantly, located in a much more desirable neighborhood. This was a significant upgrade from his previous living situation.
