His world crumbled right before his eyes."E ranked Mortician Class."The crowd burst into laughter, vibrating under the weight of the terrible news. People doubled over on their seats, slapping their knees, pointing fingers at him like he was some kind of joke put there for their entertainment."He really thought he was going to awaken something useful!" Someone yelled from the crowd, not bothering if he heard them or not."Trash is always going to be trash, even if you place it right before gold." Another member of the crowd added, their voice cutting through the air like a blade.The words stabbed a claw into his heart. Marcus stood there, his hand still pressed against the awakening orb, his body refusing to move even though every part of him wanted to run.Henry walked up to him with that same smirk still on his face, like he was enjoying every second of this."I know it must really hurt right now, brother," Henry said, placing a gentle hand on Marcus's shoulder. His voice was so

Marcus stared at the massive lion shadow beast bowing before him, his hands clenched tightly.The sound rang in his head again, vibrating under the weight of more information.Mortician class activated. One undead beast tamed, 4 more left to upgrade your class to F tier.But there was more. The system gave him more explanation about his skill, and he realized that he had an endless evolution.Mortician Class: Hidden Evolution TraitUnlike standard awakening classes bound by fixed limits, the Mortician class can evolve endlessly. Each beast tamed increases host power and unlocks new abilities. There is no ceiling.Marcus read the words over and over. Everyone knew that your body affinity had everything to do with the kind of class you awakened, and that your rank was final. Henry was A ranked and would stay A ranked forever. But this was different.His hands vibrated with anticipation that sank deep into his bones.He wasn't stuck being the trash of the Cave family.Marcus looked at th

"Are you deaf or do you just have a death wish walking towards a zone boss like you're strolling through a garden party?" Elena yelled, her voice vibrating under the weight of her frustration as she fired another glowing arrow at the massive two headed hound.Marcus didn't respond. He just kept walking, his hands relaxed at his sides, his face carrying an impossible calm that had no business being on someone approaching a creature that could melt him into ash.Elena was finding it difficult to defeat the beast that was before her, even though she was a B ranked archer. She had trained all her life for moments exactly like this, had spent a fortune more than average household earnings for ten years on her equipment and skills, yet the massive shadow hound barely registered her attacks.None of her skills were working on it. Every piercing shot and explosive arrow she fired simply bounced off its thick shadow flames like she was throwing pebbles at a wall. Her most expensive skill that

Elena was still stunned, her back pressed against the rough bark of the dead tree behind her.Even for someone who was powerful, they should have taken a while to defeat the beast. A ranked hunters came out of zone boss fights bleeding and shaking, needing expensive recovery potions just to walk straight. People with golden grade awakening serums that cost a fortune more than average household earnings for ten years would have been sweating and gasping after a fight like this.Marcus had killed it faster than she could blink and was standing there like he had stepped on a bug.Her system flickered weakly over her left eye as she stared at the massive corpse sprawled across the scorched earth. The two headed hound that had nearly torn her apart was completely still, its dark flames extinguished, its four glowing eyes dim and lifeless.But what made her chest tighten with confusion was what he wasn't doing.He wasn't even attempting to take out the crystal in the beast which was worth a
