The door of the rented house closed softly behind him.Kieran stood for a moment in front of the narrow alley filled with tangled cables and peeling, dull walls. The afternoon air felt heavy, mixed with the smell of garbage and vehicle exhaust.He stepped forward, but his steps were not entirely steady.The memories from the original body did exist, but the previous ‘Kieran’ rarely truly explored. His route was simple and monotonous: home, school, and occasionally to a karaoke place to work part-time in secret.There was no exploration, let alone understanding of the area.“Hm…” he muttered softly. He paused for a moment, then spoke in his mind.“System, display the map of the surrounding area.”There was no response for a second, then the mechanical voice appeared.[Request denied. Map feature requires points.]Kieran frowned slightly.“Points?”[Point balance: 0][Initial assistance has been used.]He fell silent for a moment, then let out a soft sigh. The initial assistance mention

Pain spread sharply through Ron’s arm. His face turned pale, his breathing uneven. He tried to endure it, but the pressure was too strong, beyond what he could bear.“O-okay… okay! I’ll do it!” he finally shouted, his voice panicked.“I agree! I agree!”Kieran looked at him for a moment, making sure there was no lie there. Then slowly, he released his grip.Ron immediately pulled his arm back, clutching his wrist that felt as if it were about to break. The pain was still throbbing. He gritted his teeth, holding back the groan that almost escaped.Secretly, he glanced at Kieran, and froze.That gaze was cold, sharp, not like that of an ordinary teenager. It felt like a gaze directed at an inanimate object rather than a human.His body shivered unconsciously, and for a moment, his instinct told him not to resist. Ron quickly averted his gaze, lowering his head slightly, unconsciously becoming more obedient.“What do you want me to do…?” he asked, this time more cautiously.Kieran did no

Kieran’s footsteps echoed softly as he went deeper inside. The walls on both sides were damp, covered with black stains and fine cracks. The metallic smell grew stronger.At the end of the corridor, the path truly looked like a dead end. But Kieran did not stop. His gaze swept around, then he walked straight toward the dull wall.When he was close enough, a voice was heard.“Stop here.”Two figures emerged from the shadows, as if they had just detached from the wall itself. Their bodies were large, their faces rough, and their eyes stared at Kieran sharply.“Where to?” one of them asked coldly.Kieran did not answer immediately. He stopped, standing calmly in front of them. There was no suspicious movement, no tension.The guard narrowed his eyes, assessing.“Newcomer, huh?”Kieran raised his chin slightly.“Inside,” he said instead of answering.The guard chuckled, but there was no warmth in it.“Everyone wants to get in. The question is… what do you have?”Kieran did not speak. Inste

Mr. Hollow rotated the small bottle between his fingers, staring at the clear liquid inside for a moment before finally opening the cap, and a faint aroma immediately escaped into the air.He did not react right away. He simply brought the bottle closer to his nose, inhaled slowly, then fell silent for a moment.His brows furrowed slightly.“…hm.”He pulled the bottle away, looking at the liquid inside once again, this time more carefully.“The composition is the same,” he muttered softly, almost as if speaking to himself.His sentence trailed off. He knew there was something different about this medicine, not significant, but clear enough for someone like him.The aroma was cleaner. There was no lingering bitter scent from a rushed purification process. Even the trace of stabilizing agents felt more balanced.Mr. Hollow’s gaze slowly shifted from the bottle to the figure in front of him—Kieran, who stood still. The way he looked at Kieran seemed to change from his initial annoyance,

As soon as he returned to the main path, his hand moved lightly. The money pouch he had just received disappeared from his bag in an instant, entering his spatial space. He only left a few ASD bills as a reserve.His first step went smoothly. However, it had not been long before his senses picked up that someone was following him.As if confirming his instinct, the system also immediately gave a brief notification.[Warning: Close-range surveillance detected.]Kieran did not react much. His steps remained steady, his breathing even, as if nothing had happened. He knew that person would not act in this place.Although this market was in a gray area, it did not mean there were no rules. On the contrary, the rules here were strict. Open violations could end badly, even for those who considered themselves strong.Instead of leaving immediately, Kieran turned into another path. He began to wander around.His eyes observed quickly. Several rare herbal materials, simple alchemical components

Kieran had already moved. His steps were light, almost without sound. In a single breath, the distance between them vanished. His hand rose, and the man’s wrist was pressed and twisted in the wrong direction. His movement was fast, precise, and without hesitation.“W-what—?!”Before the man could understand what had happened, Kieran’s elbow had already struck the point beneath his ribs.The man’s breath was instantly cut off, and his body bent forward reflexively.Kieran gave no opening. His hand moved again, this time to the neck, that brief pressure landing precisely on a nerve point.“Agh—!”That was the only cry that managed to escape before the large body immediately lost strength, his eyes rolling back, and he fell unconscious.It all happened so fast. A few people who had glanced over only saw a brief moment before immediately looking away, pretending they saw nothing. No one wanted to get involved in trouble.Kieran stood upright, his expression remaining calm behind the mask.

Kieran paused for a moment in a narrow alley that was rarely passed by people. His hand rose to his face, and the mask was slowly removed.The evening air touched his skin for the first time since he entered the market. Without much thought, he put the mask into his spatial space, then stepped out of the alley again.Now, he only looked like an ordinary teenager.A few minutes later, he stood by the side of a larger road.A black vehicle stopped in front of him, not a regular public vehicle, but a private hire service rarely used by people in this area.The door opened automatically.“Destination?” the driver asked briefly.Kieran mentioned the location without many words, making the driver glance at him through the rearview mirror.Half an hour passed, and the vehicle stopped not far from the rented residential area. Kieran stepped out calmly.“Payment completed,” said the driver.Kieran only gave a slight nod. But as he walked away, he could feel the stares. Not only from the driver

The iron rod swung swiftly toward Kieran’s head, but his body had already moved first. He tilted his head, his step shifting half a step to the side.Whoosh!The wind from the swing clearly brushed past his face. Kieran’s gaze was cold, making the man freeze for a moment before coming back to his senses.Without pause, Kieran’s hand immediately grabbed the man’s wrist and twisted.“Tsk,” Kieran clicked his tongue. This man wasn't as weak as the one he had faced earlier in the market.The man’s hand instead tensed, his muscles hardening, then he roughly pulled back, forcing Kieran to let go.“You’re pretty fast,” the man sneered, his eyes narrowing, showing excitement as if facing something interesting.“But is that all?” He swung the iron rod again, this time faster and heavier.Kieran blocked it with his arm, and pain immediately spread, making his brows furrow as his body was pushed back several steps.No matter how strong and fast he was, with his current teenage body that had just

Kieran didn't hear Ron’s question because his mind was elsewhere. He called the system and asked, “Why did the police arrive so quickly?”There was a brief pause, then a thin panel appeared.[In short, Ron asked his uncle, who is a member of the police, for help, providing a report with high urgency and exaggerated descriptions of the group assault situation.][The officer then requested additional support and moved to the location.]Kieran fell silent for a moment. His steps continued following the direction of the police, but his thoughts stopped at one point. He glanced to the side.The teenager still looked slightly pale, his breathing not fully steady yet, but he continued to follow obediently from behind.Kieran’s gaze became slightly complicated. Actually, he didn't want to involve the police in this matter because it was too troublesome, too many things had to be explained, and it would take a lot of time.However, he wasn't someone who lacked awareness. To him, kindness was s

Kieran’s steps halted briefly in the middle of the road as the system’s blue panels appeared one after another, almost without pause.[Congratulations! Hidden Mission Completed][Defeated and assisted in the capture of a criminal group][Reward Points Calculated…]The next lines appeared quickly.[Thugs x5: +2 points/person → +10 points][Special Target: Host’s Father → +10 points][Elite Target: Boss Lee → +3 points][Total Points Gained: +23][Current Total Points: 93]Kieran’s brows furrowed slightly, but just as he was about to ignore it again, a new panel appeared.[Explanation: Point values are determined based on threat level, social influence, and degree of behavioral deviation of the target.][Targets with greater impact on the environment or victims yield higher points.][The Host’s father received a higher value due to accumulated violations, including confirmed domestic violence which aggravated the sentence.]Kieran fell silent for a moment, and another panel appeared aga
