Chapter 280 Unlike the first two weeks after his awakening—where everything moved from one chaotic event to the next—the days that followed were relatively peaceful for Michael. Whether it was related to his class, his family, or his identities in the Land of Origin, everything progressed steadily. Not only did
Chapter 279 A few days later… A certain location in the Land of Origin. Michael was currently undertaking another bronze level task. Like his previous ones, it was also a dangerous one he had taken solo. This task especially was one that need at least 20 strong bronze level hunters
Chapter 278 Bright Academy for the Gifted and Noble stood like a monument of polished white stone and tinted blue glass amidst the hills of Brightgate. Tall walls, manicured hedges, and hovering security drones gave it a sense of both prestige and paranoia. This was the school Michael had enrolled
Chapter 277 The task was done. Michael stood at the edge of the shallow forest clearing, arms crossed as he looked over the small group of undead creatures before him. The once-living beasts—low-level forest scavengers, twisted hounds, and a horned tusk-hog—now stood in silence, swaying gently in the wind. He’d
Chapter 276 Mage Lian leaned back, folding his arms. “There’s nothing to worry about. The competition will only feature youths around your age.” He didn’t elaborate further, but Michael understood what he meant. Unless another monster like himself showed up, this competition was already his to win. Michael hadn’t explored
Chapter 275 Michael’s transformation had been nothing short of shocking. When Ace and Lia first saw him upon his return, they didn’t show a hint of surprise on their faces. But beneath their composed expressions—and despite the emotions already weighing on them—they had been completely stunned. Was his hair real?
Chapter 274 Michael was once again led and served in the study room. Fortunately—or perhaps unfortunately—the young daughter of the Golden Family, Seria, was not around to entertain him this time. The steward, after offering a respectful bow and ensuring Michael was comfortable, left promptly to fulfill his task. Before
Chapter 273 Michael sat up slowly, the linen sheet slipping off his bare torso. The floor was cold beneath his feet as he stood, but he didn’t flinch. Without rushing, he made his way to the bath. There was also water in the large bath tub but it was cold.
Chapter 272 It wasn’t until late at night—under the resentful gaze of his cousin—that Michael finally let Lily go. “Lily! You’re massaging my back again tonight!” she shouted as she stomped out of the training room. Her voice echoed through most of the building. Michael could only shake his head,
Chapter 271 The next few days passed by peacefully, and Michael was once again able to maintain a better sense of time management. Although nothing particularly significant happened during this period, Michael still managed to accomplish a few things. First, his room was finally furnished to his liking, and he
Chapter 270 With a deep breath, Michael started running. He blurred through the night, his inhuman speed turning the world around him into a smear of wind and shadow. He wasn’t trying to hide, but drawing attention wasn’t in his best interest either. Brightgate’s outskirts stretched for miles. But as
Chapter 269 In another part of the quiet city, there was a relatively lively estate—the one where Mira and her new best friend, Lilian, lived together with Mira’s mother. Outside, the ruined streets were dimly lit, yet a few young people could still be seen going about their lives with
Chapter 268 Looking at the empty streets, Michael sighed. With his senses, he could still detect some life signatures scattered around, but even compared to the days immediately following the chaos, their number had dwindled drastically. Michael figured that, like him and his family, other capable families had also chosen
Chapter 267 Brian turned to Michael with a sideways glance. “So,” he said, “have you gotten used to your new self yet?” Michael paused. He knew exactly what the old man was asking. “I think I have,” Michael said slowly. “There are still things I’m learning though…” Brian grunted. He
Chapter 266 Michael’s first impression of Brian had been simple. The old man was powerful. His second impression—what had stuck with him the most before they started interacting more—was that Brian was incredibly blunt. Kind? Maybe. But even that kindness came with a certain sharpness, a no-nonsense edge that didn’t
Chapter 265 Michael had Lucky clean up the mess. Unlike the first time, when the surroundings still resembled their original state, this time—along with the previous accumulation—it was clear things had changed. But Michael didn’t really care much. It had happened, and it had happened. In a few thousand miles,
Chapter 264 Michael stepped forward, the weight of his body pressing firmly into the earth with each movement. He loosened his shoulders again, feeling the taut pull of strength under his skin. “Let’s keep this simple,” he muttered, eyes flicking to Spartan. The undead mage, clad in tattered robes tilted
Chapter 263 However, this brought another thought. “To think 270 attribute points in intelligence for a human is just 153 for a High Human.” It should be noted that the higher the stat, the greater the difference. Just how weak was the human race compared to High Humans? Immediately, Michael
Chapter 262 Still, none of that mattered now. What mattered was that it was over. And even more importantly… the lingering suspicion that his talent—his power—might work on more than just undead sent a wave of indescribable emotion crashing through him. Slowly, like someone emerging from a dream, Michael raised
Chapter 261 It wasn’t until Michael was surrounded by a large group of undead that he finally stopped. With his now abundant mana pool, summoning and dismissing Rank 1 creatures back and forth felt almost effortless—like a walk in the park. Michael didn’t know why but when the moment came
