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 42. System Upgrade.

When Alastor regained consciousness, he found himself back in the familiar, honeycombed tunnels of the Stingwing hive. His mind had returned to his body. Instinct took over, and he immediately adopted a defensive stance. He scanned his surroundings, but there was no immediate threat. He was definitely still inside the hive, still nestled within the Abyssal Seed, but the Stingwings themselves were gone. No buzzing, no clicking, no sign of their presence except for the remnants of their honey-like secretions clinging to the walls.

Before he could even begin to understand what had happened, a flurry of system notifications bombarded his vision.
