2025-03-19 17:15:02Kael leaned back into the plush sofa, exhaling softly. He had taken his first real step into this new world. Now, it was time to claim his rewards.
“System, claim all rewards.” [Ding! Claiming mission rewards.] Main Mission: Find Nearby Civilization - Completed — Rewards: • $50,000 Deposited to Account • 500 System Points • New Skill: Sovereign’s Insight • Modern Business Knowledge Pack [Bonus Reward: Completed within 5 hours] — Extra $50,000 Deposited to Account Kael’s eyes glinted as he read the rewards. The extra 50,000 was a welcome addition. He hadn’t expected speed to be a factor, but it seemed efficiency was rewarded. “Next.” Side Mission: Blend into Modern Society - Completed — Rewards: • $10,000 Deposited to Account • 100 System Points • Modern Fashion Knowledge Pack Kael’s brows furrowed slightly. Modern fashion? He recalled how Aaron had guided him through the selection process. Without that assistance, I would’ve been lost. So, this knowledge should make me independent in the future. He continued reading. Hidden Mission: Spend 100K in Your First Day - Completed — Rewards: • Ownership of NovaCore Energy (100% Shares) • Twofold Cashback Card (One-Time Use, Valid for 1 Month) • Modern Currency Knowledge Pack Kael’s eyes narrowed slightly. Unlike the other missions, this one had been hidden. “What is this new type of mission, System?” [Hidden Missions are unlisted objectives that reward hosts for actions aligned with their greater goals. They do not appear until completed and often grant significant rewards.] His gaze lingered on the first reward. “A company?” he muttered. “System, what exactly is a company?” [Companies are business entities designed for profit. NovaCore Energy was a once-prominent energy corporation that went bankrupt due to insurmountable debt and lack of investors. The System has acquired it on the host’s behalf.] Kael nodded slowly. He had no foundation in modern economics yet, but this acquisition aligned with his long-term ambitions. His eyes shifted to the next reward. “What is this… Twofold Cashback Card? Is it similar to the Emperor’s Black Card?” [No. The Twofold Cashback Card allows the host to receive double the amount spent within 24 hours of activation. However, it can only be used once. It remains valid for one month.] A tool to amass wealth instantly. He would need to use it wisely. Finally, his gaze fell upon the last reward. “Another knowledge pack?” [Correct. This pack contains comprehensive knowledge of modern currencies, banking systems, and financial transactions.] Kael’s brows furrowed. “Why haven’t I received these knowledge packs yet?” [The host must manually activate acquired knowledge packs through the System Inventory. Use the command ‘Inventory’ to access them.] Understanding dawned upon him. “Inventory.” A translucent interface materialized before him, displaying a list of acquired rewards. — Modern Business Knowledge Pack (Unclaimed) — Modern Fashion Knowledge Pack (Unclaimed) — Modern Currency Knowledge Pack (Unclaimed) Kael tapped on the first one. [Activating Modern Business Knowledge Pack…] A sharp pain surged through his mind as foreign concepts flooded his consciousness—market structures, investment strategies, corporate governance. It felt as though years of study were condensed into seconds. He clenched his fists, exhaling as the pain dulled. Without hesitation, he selected the second pack. [Activating Modern Fashion Knowledge Pack…] This time, the knowledge was less overwhelming. He absorbed details of trends, formal attire, casual wear, and the intricate rules of dressing with status. It was… useful. Finally, he activated the last pack. [Activating Modern Currency Knowledge Pack…] The headache returned, albeit briefly. Information on banks, digital transactions, investments, and financial jargon settled into his mind. The weight of accumulated knowledge left him exhausted. His vision blurred as his body sank further into the sofa. Enough for now… Sleep claimed him. — Hours later, Kael’s eyes fluttered open. His mind was sharper than before, but a dull ache remained. He had absorbed a lifetime’s worth of knowledge in a single day. The moment he sat up, the familiar notification sound echoed in his mind. [Ding! Main Mission Issued: Revive NovaCore Energy.] Kael’s gaze sharpened. His empire-building had officially begun. “System,” he said calmly, “where is NovaCore located?” [Displaying Location.] A map appeared, pinpointing NovaCore’s headquarters within Eryndor. Kael studied it for a moment before rising from the sofa. After washing up and dressing in fresh clothes, he stepped outside his suite. As he approached the elevator, he hesitated, unsure of which button to press. Just then, the doors slid open, revealing a familiar figure. Evelyn Lancaster. She arched a brow upon seeing him. “Good morning, Mr. Everfrost. Heading down?” Kael gave a slight nod. “Lobby.” She pressed the button without a word. As the elevator descended, she reached into her pocket and handed him a sleek, embossed card. “We’ve prepared a VIP card for you.” Kael accepted it, glancing at its fine details. He had no idea what it was for, but simply slipped it into his pocket and stored it in his inventory. As they stepped into the lobby, murmurs filled the air. “Did you hear? Someone bought NovaCore last night.” “They say the buyer cleared billions in debt instantly! Just like that.” “Who has that kind of money? Even the top business moguls wouldn’t throw cash around like that.” “I heard the previous shareholders were scrambling to find out who did it, but there’s no public record of the buyer.” “Could it be one of the royal families? Or some underground powerhouse?” “Who knows? But whoever it is… they just made a massive move.” Kael ignored the whispers as he strode toward the exit. Before he could step out, Evelyn called after him. “Where are you going alone, Mr. Everfrost?” He paused. “I have business to attend to.” She folded her arms, her emerald eyes studying him. “As a VIP guest, you’re entitled to private transportation from the hotel. Shall I arrange a car for you?” Kael considered for a moment, then nodded. “Do it.” Minutes later, a sleek black car pulled up to the entrance. He stepped inside, the cityscape of Eryndor stretching before him. His destination was set. NovaCore Energy.

The sunlight that filtered through the office windows of NovaCore was soft, pale, and cold. Outside, the glistening white frost had started to recede, chased away by the slow breath of late morning. Inside, Kael Everfrost stirred awake in his executive chair, still dressed in a crisp shirt and the remnants of a long night of planning.The system chimed quietly.Mission Progress UpdateSide Mission: Spark the FlameObjective: Generate $500,000 through NovaCore activitiesProgress: $489,326 / $500,000Side Mission: The Exiled MindObjective: Recruit Elias Rhain into NovaCoreProgress: In ProgressSide Mission: Name Among CollectorsObjective: Appraise 3 fake relics at an elite gatheringProgress: CompletedSide Mission: Awakening the HeartStatus: Locked (Requires completion of previous missions)Kael blinked and sat up straighter, rubbing the bridge of his nose.

Chapter 13: Unmasking The Priceless
The morning sun crept gently through the tall glass panes of NovaCore’s executive floor, casting golden light across polished marble and shadows that stretched like soft strokes on a canvas. The city buzzed faintly below, a distant hum of awakening life. Inside the office, Kael sat in quiet stillness. The high-backed leather chair bore his frame like a throne. Draped in a tailored black shirt with crisp silver cuffs, Kael rested his elbow on the armrest, fingers curled near his chin, eyes unreadable. His gaze fixed on nothing and everything. Across the room, Aaron cradled a steaming mug of coffee, its aroma subtle but grounding. He took a sip, sighing with content. “The silence in here makes this taste even better,” he mumbled, more to himself than anyone else. Harold Vance stood respectfully to the side, aged but sharp in a navy suit, eyes focused, posture straight. Waiting. Kael's voice cut through the calm, low and composed. “I want a brand. One that commands attention—not by
Chapter 12: The Materials For Restoration
The early morning light filtered through the tall windows of NovaCore’s office, casting soft golden rays over the polished floors and scattered papers that littered the desks. The stillness of the room was broken only by the soft hum of the air system and the distant rumble of traffic from outside. Kael was already sitting up, his body stiff and tired, leaning back in the plush office chair, his fingers tapping idly on the desk. His coat, which he had used as a makeshift blanket, had slipped off during the night and now lay crumpled on the floor. He squinted at the fragments of the relic, still carefully arranged on the desk in front of him, his thoughts distant. Across the room, Aaron groaned as he slowly sat up, rubbing his temples with a pained expression. The remnants of sleep clung to him, his movements sluggish as he tried to gather himself. The night had definitely taken its toll. “Ugh... What even happened last night?” Aaron mumbled, his voice thick with the remnants of sle
Chapter 11: The Last Piece
The sun dipped low as Kael and Aaron stepped out of the cab and into the familiar courtyard of NovaCore. The once-abandoned building now pulsed with a faint energy, thanks to Kael’s growing influence and the system's subtle enhancements. The icy wind brushed against their coats, a reminder of the city’s ever-present chill. As they walked through the halls, Harold Vance, the acting director, hurried over. “Sir Kael,” Harold said, offering a crisp salute. “This came while you were out.” He handed over a sleek black envelope embossed with gold. Kael opened it carefully. An invitation. “To the Grand 72nd Birthday Banquet of Damian Whitmore.” Aaron blinked. “Oh damn, I forgot today was his birthday.” “You know him?” Kael asked, intrigued. “Yeah,” Aaron nodded. “Damian Whitmore—Rosa and Julian’s grandfather. He’s kind of a legend in the antique circles. Their family practically wrote the book on antique trade in Eryndor.” Kael’s gaze sharpened. “I take it you’re invited too?
Chapter 10: Fragment of Fate
Kael and Aaron arrived at Eldoria Antiques, a shop renowned for its vast collection of rare relics, artifacts, and antiques. The shop had an air of mystery, with ancient scrolls, rusted weapons, and forgotten treasures lining its shelves. The scent of aged parchment and polished wood filled the air as they stepped inside. Jason Hayes, the shop’s owner, sat behind a polished oak counter, examining an old coin through a magnifying glass. His sharp eyes traced the intricate engravings, a soft hum escaping his lips as he assessed its authenticity. The dim lighting of the shop cast a warm glow on the antique-strewn shelves behind him. He turned the coin over once more before setting it down on a velvet cloth. Hearing the chime of the entrance bell, he looked up, his keen merchant instincts recognizing Aaron immediately. A grin spread across his face as he set the magnifying glass aside. “Aaron, my friend! What brings you here today?” Aaron stepped forward with a casual grin, clasping J
Chapter 9: Treasure Hunt
The sun hung low in the sky as Kael and Aaron stepped into a street bustling with merchants selling all kinds of so-called "antiques." Stalls stretched along both sides, displaying old trinkets, rusted swords, faded manuscripts, and supposed relics of lost civilizations. The air carried the scent of aged parchment, mixed with the metallic tang of old coins. As they strolled, a familiar chime echoed in Kael’s mind.
