COLD!Lucifer felt an unbearable chill crawling through his skin as he groggily stood up from the cold ground.Subconsciously, he moved his hand down to his chest, feeling the warmth flowing through his beating heart.‘What?’ Lucifer drew in a sharp breath, stunned.He sat up slowly and touched his chest. It seemed like his heart was beating. However, Lucifer didn't know why, but he could tell that it was vastly different from a normal human heart.At that moment, the memories from before came crashing heavily into his mind.Lucifer’s eyes turned blank for a moment as he tried to process what had happened...“I was... betrayed. Hahahaha, the last two I trusted betrayed me!”Lucifer let out a deranged laugh. It was as though something had snapped in his mind as he laughed wildly.Lucifer was an orphan, and only through the scholarship given to less privileged children was he able to get by in school.‘My parents lived and died for the organization, and this is how I was treated?’ Lucif

Inside the river, Lucifer could feel the subtle warmth as he scrubbed his body clean.It was a form of baptism to him, as though he was washing away his past life and behaviors.After he finished cleaning himself up, he thought of something and, standing naked in the midst of the pool, he glanced at the system.[Creation Points: 5]‘This should work, right?’ the youth hesitated briefly, then his thoughts moved.In his mind, a series of imaginations subtly formed.As though sensing what he was forming, the system glowed briefly.[Detected the blueprint of a normal drying towel. This will cost a single Creation Point to create. Do you wish to go ahead with the creation?]Lucifer’s eyes widened as he stared at the system’s words.It seemed almost impossible, and for a moment, he didn't know what to think.Subconsciously, he hesitated, then nodded. “Yes.”He watched as his Creation Points decreased by one, becoming 4.[The System Store has been unlocked.][System Store: This is an artific

Lucifer reined in his aura, and the rest of the lessons continued as usual.When the final class ended and the instructor began to leave, another man stepped into the room through the doorway.He was tall and broad-shouldered, his posture composed yet carrying a quiet authority.His hair was neatly tied back, and the faint lines around his eyes hinted at both age and experience.A subtle scent of ink and faint cologne drifted in as he entered, and his calm gaze swept across the students before settling on Lucifer.The room fell silent.“Lucifer,” the man said evenly, his tone clear but without unnecessary warmth. “You are needed at the principal’s office.”Lucifer’s eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing the man’s words.He paused briefly, then stood up and followed the man out.As he did, faint whispers from his classmates spread through the air.…Lucifer followed Instructor Kael through the corridors.As they walked, he glanced at his surroundings.Far off in the distance, a youth was

Later that night…Outside, a notification blared to life inside a building filled with students…Just as Lucifer had guessed, some abnormalities had been discovered!Every day, investigations were conducted on the students at night using their identity watches.This was a peculiar tool that would send the life readings of the students back to those in charge every day at 12 midnight.This was done so that the whole academy would remain in a state of peace despite the bullying, without the students killing each other.Although there were times when students' life readings failed to turn up, most likely due to suicide, it wasn't as common as today.Inside the investigation room, situated in a corner office of the academy...Three people browsed through the monitors.Suddenly, one man with slight beards and a few freckles on his face raised his eyebrows, stunned.“Five people committed suicide today? That's particularly high…”The man beside him was also slightly startled and turned to g

.Chapter 10: The Flaw in the TruthLucifer deactivated his Invisibility and Stealth talents as he slipped back into the dense cluster of students, blending seamlessly into the shadowy rear corner of the inspection room. The cold sweat on the back of his neck evaporated in the warm air, but his mind burned with razor-sharp clarity.Through the activation of his Primordial Dragon Eyes, he had unraveled the secret of Investigator Lisa’s D-rank lie detection talent.When the students answered her queries, the mana inside Lisa’s body did not scan their souls or read their minds. Instead, her mana acted like a sensitive tuning fork, reacting purely to the biological tremors of the speaker's vocal cords, heartbeat, and psychological intent. Her talent did not detect objective reality; it detected perceived deception. If a person truly believed what they were saying, or if the words spoken were technically true within a narrowly constructed frame of reference, her mana remained completely st
