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 50. A new skill.

Alastor temporarily set aside his thoughts and carefully retrieved everything of value from the Xylo wolf carcass. He then stored the remains in his inventory. Activating [Spectral Sight], his gaze swept the surrounding area, searching for anything else worth taking. Finding nothing of interest, he turned his attention to the system.

"This area is clear, correct?" Alastor asked.

"[Yes]," the system confirmed.

"I still have some time. Let's move to the next area," Alastor murmured. With about half an hour remaining on Planet Vrym, he was eager to explore further.

"[As you wish]," the system responded. A familiar pulling sensation enveloped Alastor, whisking him away to another part of the planet.

The sensation faded as he materialized in the new location. Before he could regain his bearings, a wave of intense heat washed over him, searing his skin.
