Mason’s Revenge
Mason, a daring explorer of ancient tombs, endured relentless suffering and torment while serving under his ruthless superior. Ultimately, he fell victim to treachery and met his demise. When Mason regained consciousness, he found himself transported back in time to an era predating the existence of the Crypts, equipped with a sophisticated system enabling him to acquire potent relics of immense power. Armed with foreknowledge of the future yet stripped of his former abilities, Mason seizes the opportunity to lay claim to these fabled artifacts before anyone else. His ambition drives him to aspire to the mantle of true Emperor and seek retribution against the corrupt rulers of the past. However, the lingering question remains: can he outwit those fated to ascend to power once more, or are the threads of history doomed to weave the same tragic tapestry anew?

Chapter: Chapter 34: Shadowed Alliances
Mason Monroe didn’t have to wait long for the hooded figure to make the next move. The stranger’s voice carried authority and a calm menace that set Mason’s instincts on edge."You're quicker than most, but speed alone won't be enough to survive what’s coming." The figure stepped forward, light from the moon revealing the sharp jawline and a face covered by faint scars. A single emblem glinted on their chestplate: an ouroboros etched in black metal, its tail devouring itself.The symbol made Mason’s stomach churn. He’d seen it before—etched into the blade of an assassin who had ambushed him months ago. Whoever this person was, they belonged to a group he hadn’t identified yet, but one with a vested interest in the relics he sought."Who are you?" Mason asked, his knife steady in his hand. His voice carried a firm edge, masking the faint adrenaline still buzzing in his veins.The hooded figure tilted their head, a faint smirk pulling at their lips. "Names are cheap commodities, Monroe.

Chapter: Chapter 33: Shadows
Mason Monroe’s breath hung heavy in the cold air as he squared up to the figure before him. The hooded stranger stood in stark contrast to the serenity of the night, their presence crackling with an almost palpable tension. Mason’s hand instinctively tightened around the knife at his side, the weight of the Veil of Shadows in his pocket a silent reminder of what had just transpired.“Impressive,” the figure said again, voice deep and smooth. They stepped closer, the hood obscuring their face. “But surely, you didn’t think you were the only one after the relics.”Mason shifted his stance, his eyes flickering over the stranger, searching for weaknesses, tells, anything that would give him an edge. “You’ve been following me,” he said, his voice steady despite the adrenaline coursing through him.The figure chuckled—a low, humorless sound. “Let’s call it observing. I needed to see if you were worth the trouble.”“And?” Mason quipped, arching an eyebrow.“Let’s just say I’m… intrigued.”W

Chapter: Chapter 32: The Hidden Relic
Even though the crypt's air was as still as death, there was a subtle energy that permeated every bone in Mason Monroe's body. As he made his way farther into the maze, he kneeled down, his boots rustling on the uneven stone floor. With their patterns shifting as though they were alive, the faintly glowing crypt walls were etched with runes that glowed like starlight trapped in stone. This was no typical crypt—it was a secret tomb that held the relic he was looking for.However, he wasn't by himself.In front of us, dim shadows glowed on the hallway walls, and there was a faint sound of voices. They attacked. They had a clear goal in mind: to seize the artifact before Mason did. He was certain they were fully armed and prepared to murder anyone who stood in their way of their target.Mason activated his detection system by pressing his hand against the wall. It sent out a slight wave, the system's power sweeping through the hallway like an unseen flood. In his mind, three signatures a

Chapter: Chapter 31: Chaotic Crypt
Mason Monroe felt as though a heavy physical weight was bearing down on his shoulders due to the oppressive air inside the Crypt. He squatted, his keen eyes sweeping the ancient chamber's ragged walls, veins of blue energy pulsing faintly across its fractured surface. Every pulse created brief ghostly shadows that moved across the mosaic of dust and obsidian fragments on the floor. The walls of this living, breathing crypt whispered secrets that pushed the boundaries of sanity.The mythic energy of Mason's knife vibrated faintly beneath his fingertips as he repositioned his grip on the hilt. He whispered, "Focus," and the sound drowned out the Crypt's background hum. It served as a mantra to ward off the spirits of his former existence. Even though this location was dangerous, the opportunity was too good to ignore. An artifact that was said to provide unmatched speed and stealth was concealed deep within this relic's maze-like halls, making it the ideal addition to his expanding tool

Chapter: Chapter 30: Psycho
“Who is calling you?”“Isn’t it a number you don't know if the name isn’t popping up?”However, Mason was looking at it as if it was annoying.Why?It was because Mason remembered that number.That was the case.That number was Depay’s number.Furthermore, it was his personal number and not his business number. There was no way Mason who had a great memory would forget a number that had not changed for tens of years.‘But I guess he was feeling quite rushed to call with his personal number.’It was pretty obvious why Depay would be calling him. That was why Mason answered without any hesitation.“Hello.”He started the call calmly.The person on the other side started to speak. This was Depay, the person who betrayed Mason like a lizard getting rid of its tail when Mason had been completely loyal to him.The auctioneer’s voice rang out confidently. “Ladies and gentlemen, there seemed to have been a small earthquake, but everything is perfectly fine. Now, back to the auction! The nex

Chapter: Chapter 29: Time
Mason smirked while looking at the time.‘I have some time.’Was it because he had such a thought?Mason handed them the key to his item locker.“You guys. Go get my stuff as well while you're at it.”“When you say your stuff do you mean the 200 million you left with the front desk?”“Correct.”Mason had given the entrance fee of 100 million and left the 200 million in reserve with Midas. That would be the disciplinary training and a good test for them.“Come back quickly.”Mason said that before slipping the bracelet-shaped rope artifact into Oh Seung Woo’s suit pocket.His hands moved as if it was a ghost’s hand that the clueless Oh Seung Woo group did not notice it.“Damn it, Mason that damn bastard.”The Oh Seung Woo group were making duck faces right now.They did get Mason's stuff like he told them to, but...“Are we his servants or something?!”“That damn child doesn't know what a social hierarchy is!”“We’re at max at the same level as each other if anything!”The Oh Seung Woo
