Chapter 1
Unlike every other day in the miners party, today was significantly different for Kenji's group. The leading members had slain lower-rank monsters and mere wolves that might have come out from the cave to retrieve a substantial haul of raw essence and valuable crystals.This was considered luck for Kenji. Working as a navigator, he was the lowest rank, an F-class. This designation was for mere humans... ordinary citizens with no abilities, signs, or magic and being a member classified him at the lowest rank. This system served to distinguish between normal citizens and Association members among districts.Every other day Kenji was mocked, abused, and laughed at for his non-existent abilities and lack of attributes. Since childhood, he had struggled with these severe moments. Humiliation had reached its extent, yet he was no longer ashamed to look back whenever mocking snickers passed from person to person. Though his private memories still hurt bitterly whenever he was alone, he groa
Chapter 2
The members stared at themselves, and a girl answered suddenly without hesitation, "C'mon, let's get things going fast, Commander. I need this money."Meanwhile, a group of guys chuckled low in a whisper, "Just as I expected... hah! Her boyfriend's dating another."Soon her gaze landed on them, and she gave a quick, mocking grin. "Shut up! I heard you. And who the fuck says I need a boyfriend, huh? Perhaps a good life will be better for a girl having her own money without shitty rats like you two. Tsks, scums!" She turned in a furious flare, crossed her arms beneath her chest, closed her eyes, and scoffed."Alright! Alright, calm down, all of you! You see why I said we should complete this mission today. I guess you understand. Now, let's get back to work. We need to evacuate this chamber as soon as possible."Meanwhile, Lu Hang turned directly to Kenji at his side.Soon the clacking of iron filled the air again as their tools struck Crystals, ice, and essence.Lu Hang placed his hand
Chapter 3
During the war and the cataclysm of ten years back that had nearly put an end to humanity. The devastation was so widespread that it reached the extent of recruiting males as young as ten years old, who had barely developed their hormones, to fight alongside government soldiers against these beast-monsters.A lot of lives, both dearly held and far away, were lost, starting from the lowest districts and soon overtaking the main districts where countless civilians lived their daily lives. Monsters they had never seen roamed the city, emerging from rare portal gates that opened at the four cardinal corners: East, West, North, and South.Rumors still persisted that this was linked to the ancient rule and empire of god-like beings, where two great brothers from the highest noble house fought to claim the throne and inherit their father's legacy after his death. They were god-like beings with an immense aura and power that far surpassed even the world's greatest sorcerers.Two males were bo
Chapter 4
It all explained the agonizing incidents of ten years back when every male was forced to fight against these terrifying monsters. By then, Kenji was only eleven.At a peaceful family dinner of four; his Mom, Dad, Sister, and Kenji—they were just enjoying what a normal and loving family would. But the sudden moment only lasted like a dream, illuminated later by panic, terror, and bloodshed when government agencies knocked through every door of the district, including Kenji's."To correspond with the government order and rules without getting hurt, please, I will make sure you comply with us. Both the man and the male child should follow. This is the government order; I'm sure you are aware of the situation currently," a man said, holding a large booklet in his hand for recording every house they had come to so far.Kenji's father, slightly huge and tall, with dark hair and gleaming eyes, stood up from his seat as if knowing this was his final moment with his family. But little did he k
Chapter 5
Without hesitation, the monstrous figure was in front of Kenji in a swift flash, sneering a dark, mocking grin at its prey.Kenji was already at the verge of death, sprawled beneath the monster like a discarded rag doll. With blurring, half-blind vision, he managed to move enough to stare at himself. He was not surprised his left arm was gone and both his legs were severed, with red blood pooling all around him.After all, it was Doomsday. There was nowhere he could run, even if he still had the legs to do so. Not that he could have done anything; he was the least-ranked among all the dead members the unknown monster had killed. And what he least expected: the commander, a C-rank class, was also killed with ease within a matter of seconds.Kenji looked at himself once more, letting out a terrifying, agonizing laugh filled with sorrow and something he couldn't grasp."....Ahhh hah! Always the weak. No, Father, I couldn't carry your legacy. I couldn't carry your name... More! More!" he
Chapter 6
Suddenly, the text shifted just as he expected, and in the blink of an eye he found himself back in the cave.[CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY BEEN AWAKENED.][YOU ARE THE TRUE CORE OF THE ASHRA'S.]Seeing the words float before him, he couldn't help but wonder what exactly the system meant. He tried to confirm many things, but the texts kept on shifting, one upon the other.[ Window Open: System Status ]Name: Kenji IanCore trait: Ashra's core (Tier 1 Apprentice)Age: Twenty oneClass: # NoneTitle: # NoneLevel: 1Experience points (Exp) : 0/100Health: 100Agility: 5Strength: 5Vertality: 3Perception: 10To him, it felt like a visual game played among rich folks, the kind they even competed and placed bets on. However, Kenji noticeably focused on one particular stat point for longer: 'Perception.' For some reason, the number was twice as high as the others. He wasn't quite sure if this correlated with the sense of danger he had felt earlier, before the disaster that wiped
Chapter 7
Amidst the chaos, Kenji was left on the vast ground, trapped in the chaos, when a sudden sound and flicker of light appeared above. It left Kenji pale, sweat already running down his temples as he looked at the whole scene and turned around in disbelief.It was far too strange to him. This wasn't something he had ever heard of or seen at the demand of a Mystery System. Thoughts washed through him again, wondering if the previous chaos of his party members was connected to the grants of this System, or perhaps...Then he shook his head abruptly. "No, no... I can't be sure. I need to confirm first. If I was somehow healed by the help of this unknown system, then that's a good sign, but I still can't tell with all of this happening right now." He thought."What is this now? Hey, w... what is this pla..." His last words came out in a trembling tone as he tried to hold his confidence. A cracking sound from the wall caught his attention, followed by a sneering growl. The noise sounded like
Chapter 8
Those were the last words from the System as it went off through the thin air. Kenji had tried to ask a few more questions, but it was nowhere to be found.He groaned, staring forward, seeing the first sneering wolf among the four hit the ground and immediately take off running towards his direction.Thud, Thud!, Thud!!The speed with which the creature moved, closing the distance in a blur, made his heart leap. He didn't even have time to process a better plan.E-class monsters... four of them... regenerating... and two D-class Rock Orcs behind them.He was F-rank. A navigator. An observer. His entire life had been spent hiding behind the lowly C-rank Commander who was now nothing more than a bloody smear on the wall. But now, Kenji had no choice.He clutched the S-curved Light Staff firmly. It felt surprisingly light and perfectly balanced—a stark contrast to the heavy, cumbersome axes his dead comrades had carried. He still had half the violet potion left, a draught that had boost
Chapter 9
Almost an hour had passed since the terrifying screech echoed from beneath the cave. Despite the sound, a large crowd still gathered outside the tunnel. Ordinary civilians went about their daily lives, and some were even at the tunnel for business deals, exchanging essence and raw crystals in bulk transactions.But after that final, piercing sound, the atmosphere shifted. Passersby turned to stare, and wealthy onlookers gathered quickly, realizing this could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for profit. They crowded the tunnel's counter, waiting to purchase rare goods in bulk.Meanwhile, at the far end of the clearing, a tall, red-haired young man stood watching the commotion. Faint scarlet light intertwined around his fingers like weaving threads. He was Fyhn, a C-class hunter who had been conversing with his team navigator about tomorrow's essence mining preparations.but the terrifying sound from the cave had changed everything.The civilians didn't realize the truth of what that
Chapter 10
The scene was rowdy, with murmurs and whispers rippling through the crowd. The civilians could no longer contain the boiling anger and grudges within them; they were ready to speak up, even if they lacked the courage to truly oppose the young-looking woman.It was supposed to be the day they had all imagined—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for business and success. They had been waiting for the party members to emerge from the gate with retrieved crystals and essence so they could strike profitable deals among themselves.But the reality was the opposite. They never expected to see a lady act so recklessly against commoners, her reputation for greed appearing more true than ever, as they thought."Yeah, get her! Dammit, look at that thing!""Kick her out! She's greedy—she cleared everyone out just to keep all the loot for herself, or for those useless chicks she likes!"The chattering grew louder until a figure with a striking, curved silhouette appeared just in time, catching Lyhan'
