Chapter 2: AssassinationEverybody has a zen core within themselves, it supplies energy for the body to run and keep function, its importance is no less than that of the heart and its location was just beneath the navel which was the centre of the body.Like arteries and veins run from the heart to every part of the body, energy pathways sometimes known as zen pathways run from the core to every part of the body, the pathways passes through organs, muscles and tissues, through veins and arteries constantly supplying the zen that one either absorbs from the surroundings or that one digests from meals.Just like a man cannot survive without his heart one can’t survive without their zen core as its destruction would lead to inevitable death, there are weak cores and strong core but there has never been a recorded case of someone born without a core, Aldrin is the first case or perhaps the first recorded case.Aldrin took in a deep breath and closed the book he was reading, he looked out

Chapter 4: Quest of AcknowledgementAldrin’s eyes opened slowly and light flooded into them causing him to close them rapidly with a light wince.“The young master has awakened, relay this to the lord.” A female voice suddenly called out and a figure dashed out of the room closing the door behind as she left, Aldrin slowly sat up and surveyed the room he was in and quickly recognized it to be his room.Not far from the bed was a table that was tidy and yet messy at the same time as a plethora of reading and writing materials were displayed across, aside from that table there wasn’t anything noteworthy of in the room, everything else was exquisite and yet simple.“How is your health sir?” A small lady approached Aldrin and tried taking his hand to feel his pulse but suddenly Aldrin stretched his hand and gripped her throat tightly threatening to strangle her.The lady trashed wildly while sobbing and begging for mercy but no matter what she did Aldrin didn’t release his grip on her nec

Chapter 6: Visit to the ancient gryphon clanThe carriage soon arrived in front of a pair of majestic gates of the Gryphon Clan. Two imposing stone pillars, adorned with intricate carvings of gryphons in various poses - soaring, battling, and guarding treasure - support a grand arch topped with a proud gryphon with its wings spread wide. The warm, golden stone, weathered by centuries, exudes the aura of great strength and deep heritage. Gryphon-shaped door knockers gaze out from either side, several glyphs adorn the pillars, and torch holders shaped like gryphon talons hold unlit torches. Flanking the gates, two imposing stone gryphon statues stand guard, complemented by armed, armored clan guards bearing the Gryphon Clan's insignia, standing before them Aldrin couldn’t help but feel as though the Gryphons would come alive the very moment there was a slight sign of danger which made the guards seem more like a decoration instead.As soon as the carriage reached the gates the formerly

Y/N]Without hesitation Aldrin clicked on yes before he could see whatever notification was coming next he felt his astral body being dragged downwards at the speed of light and in no time he opened his eyes back in his tent, beads of sweat coating his forehead as a pounding headache attacked him violently, in exhaustion he collapsed on his back.He looked as though he had just survived a deadly battle but the light in his eyes was totally in cont

Chapter 10: Levelling UpAldrin considered getting the grandmaster with him to make a move but he knew that would put him in a negotiation disadvantage later on, moreover there was also the mission from his system, he wasn’t sure if it would count as a success or failure if he got someone else to do it for him.He pulled up his system interface and began to go through it again trying to see if he could find something useful, glancing through it for the second time he noticed something he hadn’t noticed before now, next to his title was a small inverted triangle.He clicked on the arrow only for a pop-up to appear.[Basic Title;Trash: Allows user to diminish his aura to the point where he is actively being ignored by everyone, placing him in a state of psychological invisibility. This state becomes invalid when use makes any drastic action.Duration: 1hrCool-down: 45mins]Reading through this Aldrin was stunned and didn’t know if he should laugh or cry.“So being trash actually has s
