[Urgent Mission]B-Rank Dungeon spotted. Proceed to its location and clear the Dungeon.The system panel automatically appeared in front of Adrian, displaying a map from his current location down to the location of the dungeon.He jumped to his feet immediately and started preparing, as the one thing he noticed was that anytime the system gave him a mission, there were always rewards. Good rewards.And he already had plans to clear a B-Rank Dungeon, so this was like killing two birds with one stone.He left the estate, hopped onto his power bike, and roared the engine to life before speeding toward the dungeon's location.The world twisted and turned as soon as he entered the gate, and now he saw himself in another location entirely. The first thing Adrian laid his eyes on was the corpse of a monster.There was no way he could describe what type of monster this was, but its body was burnt, and when he crouched beside it and touched it, he could still feel the heat, meaning someone was

It was nighttime already, and Adrian sat down on his power bike outside one of the most expensive shopping districts in Ashvale, staring down at the long list in his hand.The list had been written by Miren before he left her office, detailing the things he needed to buy for Mina.Clothes.Shoes.Food.Hygiene products.Toys.School supplies.A bed.Medicine.And several other things Adrian had never even heard of before as he slowly lowered the paper.“This is ridiculous.”Beside him, Mina was sitting on the bike too, with her legs swinging back and forth, happily eating an ice cream Adrian had bought for her on the way.“Papa,” she said, calling his attention and making Adrian glance down at her.“What?”“More.” She pointed at the snack in her hand.“You just finished three.”“More,” she repeated herself as Adrian stared at her for a moment before sighing and reaching into the shopping bag, picking another one and opening it for her as she smiled immediately.Adrian shook his head a

“And who is she to you exactly?” the principal of Aegis Summoners Preparatory Academy asked Adrian.Today was Monday, and he went to enroll Mina into Aegis Summoners Preparatory Academy, where she could be taught about education, summons, and everything she would need as knowledge.“She is my… um,” Adrian said, not knowing whether to call Mina his sister’s child or his junior sister, but he made his decision in the end.“She’s my daughter.”The principal raised her head from what she was typing and looked at Adrian straight into his eyes, trying to see if he was lying.Adrian was about to break eye contact when she finally looked away and continued typing.“You’re a young man. How did you get so careless to have a baby?” she asked him.“Well, things happened between my girlfriend and me, and she got pregnant. She wanted to abort the baby, but I couldn’t just let a life get wasted, so I decided to raise her and take care of her properly,” Adrian lied, and even he was surprised at how h

“Ladies and gentlemen, today we are about to witness a fight between two powerhouses. Shadow himself and Kazar, who is known to be one of the champions of this arena. Will the Black Knight be able to win against Kazar, or will Kazar dominate this fight and claim victory as always?” the commentator said as the crowd cheered.“Start making your bets on who you think will walk out of this arena a champion. Remember, you cannot ascend to the top if you don't take a few risks.”Adrian and the senior, Kazar, stood on opposite sides of the wide arena ground.From the announcement just made, Adrian found out that Kazar wasn't just a senior; he had already made a name for himself as one of their champions.Kazar smiled as a portal opened behind him, and a 7-foot-tall beast appeared.It had a heavily muscular frame that made its body look far more like a prehistoric predator than an ordinary bird, and its entire body was covered in thick, jet-black feathers, layered densely around its torso and

“Looks like you're a magnet for bullets, am I right, Adrian?”Adrian, still lying on the ground, bent his head slightly and looked to his side. He saw a very young version of himself squatting by his side.“First it was Smoke, and now this dude. You think you're going to survive this one?” the young boy asked with a smile on his face and then began laughing loudly.“Of course you'll fucking survive. How can a B-Rank Summoner be killed by ordinary bullets? That's not possible, right?”“You are currently wondering why your body can't move and why you feel like you're about to die, but it is not true. Your body is currently going through the trauma of being shot, especially that first time by Smoke. That is why when you got shot, you went into shock, and your brain is currently believing you're going to die.”“We are nothing here. The only thing we have here is money, and if you compare that to other students who have money, power, and family influence, then what we have is nothing.”“Th
