A bizarre sight even for Yunzheng as he saw the moving smoke coming from Gilbert and entered through the orifices of a full grown man. As if he couldn't breathe, the man held his neck, choking and his eyes bulged out until at last, he slumped to the ground. Eyes rolled backwards while Gilbert landed with a hop. [A Side Task has Appeared!] [Side Task : Escape the building with Gilbert's help in less than an hour! Rewards : Gilbert's level +5Failure : Suspend Gilbert for a few weeks.]Skimming through the notification, another shout ensued. This time, it sounded familiar and when Yunzheng glanced at the direction of the voice, there was a struggle between a full grown man and a cat which he couldn't touch. "You cannot be so rough to the soon-to-be noble, nya!"With its feet materialized out of the drifting smoke, Gilbert clawed the man's mask and knocked it away. The scarred feature had been displayed for the world to see and the man tried to cover his face with his hand. Still, th

While Yunzheng rode the wind in his wake, many kinds of thoughts raced in his head and some of them were just as he had expected. Recalling the brief moment he had when browsing through the document of his family back then, there was another piece of information that stated he was among the deceased. The official statement said how his entire body was devoured by Hofgast, the name of the gigantic monster back then which devastated a group of soldiers with ease. Information they gathered from some random witnesses on the scene and not to mention he was missing for all this time, it wasn't wrong for the government to declare him dead.That gave birth to a question which he was dying to know of. Whose body he was using right now? Through the reflection of glass that he had seen before, his face definitely looked like him, same height and same birthmark, a little mole right on his neck. Granted that his body was a little sluggish now than before, but that was because his body hadn't reta

When the cloud of dust scattered around, Yunzheng rushed with a palm open wide. Before the boy could react, the strike hit him right on his neck as he subconsciously choked in response before Yunzheng went to execute a few sets of punching moves in a single breath. Each strike felt like a hammer, which made the boy both confused and bewildered, seeing how his gigantic state should lessen the strength behind the impact. Unable to keep up with Yunzheng's pace, the boy threw a wide sweep of his hand in hope to bash through his foe. Unfortunately, Yunzheng easily ducked and then leapt to grab his opponent's neck. In a blink of an eye, a surge of life force flowed from the boy to Yunzheng, causing the former to return to his normal form as he struggled free of the iron grip. In a short amount of time, the abundant and boundless strength seeped away from his limbs and the boy felt deep despair within. Before his arms could fall in weakness, Yunzheng took back his hand. Sparing the life o

As the drifting putrid stench filled the dimly lit alley, a shadow flashed before a tiny squeak was uttered. The little creature tiptoed carefully in its stride, eyes wary of the surroundings but still fixated upon a half chewed piece of ham in the middle of a muddy puddle. Before it could grab its prey, a series of footsteps echoed, bringing its ears to twitch as it realized the sounds became closer in rapid speed. Soon enough, a figure way bigger than it was rushing forward, stomping at the puddle and scurrying away the critter. The figure gritted his teeth and sweats drenched the black shirt veiled by his fake, cheap leather jacket he found in some rundown shop. One of his eyes was swelling and he felt the pain and aches coming all over his body in this marathon. Still, he kept running, didn't turn his head even once, and tried to regulate his breath and posture, so he could run a little bit longer. His sprint led him to a crossroads to which he finally stopped and felt his eyes

[You have activated the Contract feature!][Searching for a hero to be contracted…][A hero was found! Do you want to finalize the contract?] After Yunzhend nodded his head and agreed, a blinding light emerged before him and this time, Yunzheng had somehow expected it and shield his eyes with his palm whilst some of the fingers parted to give a gap for him to peer through. Using his energy, he narrowed his gaze and tried to observe closely how his summon would come to this world. At first, he saw a tiny speck, which expanded in an instant before those specks of shade materialized another shape that was longer and thin and in a humanoid frame. Though the details were veiled by the light, Yunzheng immediately realized that the long and thin frame was actually a whole skeleton and those specks that covered the bones and skull were blood. Muscle tissues soon grew out of the bones and before long, skin appeared as well. The pace of how the bone, muscle, blood, and skin combined into a
