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 57. Mission Completed.

Alastor silenced the incoming notifications, intending to deal with them later. He had more pressing matters. He stared down at Wan He's lifeless body, the chest riddled with stab wounds. Alastor sighed. Time to disappear.

He crossed the room to the wardrobe and retrieved Kaleb's unconscious form. Methodically, he stripped himself and dressed Kaleb in his cloth, then donned his own attire. Hefting Kaleb's limp body, he carried him over to Wan He's corpse and gently laid him down. Alastor then produced a small vial from his pocket – the same one he'd used earlier to revive the young man at the Golden Palace.

As he was about to administer the vial's contents to Kaleb, something caught his eye. Wan He's phone, which had been dropped during their struggle, lay on the floor. The screen illuminated with a new message notification.
