" Supervisor Hu...” he said in a careful manner “We found her involved in property damage. She collided with another servant while carrying water and her bucket got broken. We have brought her for judgment.” Hu Khan’s expression tightened as his eyes landed on the kneeling girl. “ So wasteful...” Anger coursed through Thaddeus's blood as his gaze moved toward the servant who had spoken.It was him...The very same servant who had slammed into the girl earlier.It felt dishonorable and disdain filled him at the man's cowardice. The girl’s face turned deathly pale and fresh tears streamed down her cheeks as panic overtook her. “I-I didn’t mean to, Supervisor… please forgive me… I can work extra shifts… I’ll replace it somehow…” Hu Khan looked at her as though she was merely making noise. “Replace it?” he repeated coldly. “With what exactly? Your uselessness?” The surrounding servants nearby quietly lowered their heads. Everyone understood what kind of man Hu Khan was.Hi

The next time Thaddeus opened his eyes, he was welcomed with an excruciating pain from his left leg." Ahh.." He cried out from his sleep. “Hey, Rael. Still alive?” A servant passing by the shed entrance paused when he noticed Rael was awake. Thaddeus groaned and slowly opened his eyes. The sunlight filtering through the holes in the ceiling hit his eyes, forcing them briefly as it illuminated the cramped space.The servant laughed mockingly.“You’re tougher than I thought,” he sneered. “Most servants drew their last breath after offending Young Master Lucien but you.... You surprised me.”Thaddeus said nothing and coughed loudly.The servant clicked his tongue in disappointment before walking away.“ Anyway, try not to end up dead before tonight,” he called out lazily as he left.Thaddeus coughed again and tried to get up.He shrieked in agony from the effort as the pain sent tremors through his body.He paused and stared down.One of his legs was badly swollen, probably due to

Thaddeus felt his soul being brought back to life as breath forced itself into him like he had been drowning and suddenly pulled to the surface. “ Hh!” He coughed violently.His eyes suddenly snapped open as he gasped for air, his chest heaving violently.His memories slowly returned.He remembered the betrayal along with the unforgettable face of hisss disciple Thorin driving a divine blade through his heart.Then he called meeting the guardian and talking to a voice, fighting to death then lastly, the small bear resting by his side as he fell into unconsciousness.But one question still puzzled him.Since he died, why was he still alive? Was this the rebirth the voice was talking about?He scanned the filthy room around him. It smelt like rotting wood, had a leaking roof, and a straw bed soaked in blood.Thaddeus tried to rise but collapsed instantly. He noticed his body felt unbearably weak. He coughed again but the sound came out thin and frail. Panic rose instantly as he sna

Thaddeus raised his hand and shadow energy followed his movement and slowly twisted into a spiraling shield of dark energy that met the descending horn mid-impact. Thaddeus gritted his teeth as pressure flooded through his arm. The shadows held but barely. The beast growled loudly as it used its claws to ram the shield repeatedly, causing the shadow around Thaddeus's hand to flicker. Seeing this, Thaddeus changed the form, using the dark energy to wrap around the beast’s horns like binding chains. The beast reacted immediately, trying to pull away with brute force. Instead of resisting, Thaddeus followed the motion, using its own strength against it and released his grip. The beast was thrown off balance and crashed into the darkness. For the first time, the creature’s four eyes widened slightly as it gathered itself up and growled at Thaddeus and charged at him again. Thaddeus clenched his hand, waiting as shadow energy condensed around his arm, compressing till it formed

Even though he wasn't showing it, he felt fear.That instinctive fear that whatever stood before him was formidable and could end him.Just days ago, he had just ascended Level 4 of the shadow cultivation out of the five levels and being the first in his generation to attain such height, he had thought he had ascended the highest level of power unimaginable for someone his age.But here, it changed nothing..Even with his power restored, he was still completely at the mercy of whatever governed this place.The beast's loud roar snapped him out of his thoughts.Thaddeus turned to see the beast charging forward violently.Before he could register the attack, the beast was already upon him. He tried to move but it was too late as the beast’s body slammed into him like an invisible tide, crushing the space around his soul. Thaddeus’s breath caught in his throat as he was sent drifting several feet backward into the abyss.He steadied himself to a stop, collapsing onto the floor created

Just as Thaddeus took a step forward to greet it, a translucent panel of light suddenly appeared before him.In that instant, time stood still.Even the beast, with claws outstretched, remained suspended in the air.Thaddeus’sl gaze narrowed as lines of words began to unfold across the panel, one after another.[TRIAL INITIATED][OBJECTIVE: SURVIVE THE SOUL-DEVOURING BEAST][FAILURE CONDITION: DEATH OF HOST/COMPLETE SOUL ERASURE][OUTCOME IF SUCCESSFUL: REBIRTH COMPATIBILITY AND ACCESS TO SYSTEM]Thaddeus’ hardened expression remained unchanged but a faint tension settled in his chest.He stared as more words slowly appeared on the panel.[RULES OF THE TRIAL][Each wound inflicted upon the host will strengthen the Beast’s hunger. The longer the fight continues, the more aggressive and adaptive the beast becomes.]Even with time frozen around it, the creature managed to let out a quiet growl, as if agreeing to what was displayed.The instructions continued.[All abilities have been res
