Chapter 27 A Stalker's Plight and a Hunter's Association Visit
"You may be the one leading the mission of getting 'it' to come out of hiding, but I am the one tasked with making sure you do your job properly. You are to get 'it' out of hiding without angering 'it' enough to prevent us from ascending to the next floor. With that Floor Guardian being abnormally powerful for those of a Tower like this one, we must take this backdoor method and ascend the Tower without encountering that man. To do that..." Selena pierced through all of Malakar's defenses with just her gaze. "To do that, you need to get yourself together and strike at a different angle. We need to let down 'its' guard, and the only real method we have is holding her son hostage, which means that we can't kill him. Find a different way to force 'it' out. You know the deadline before a replacement for you is found and sent down." "A different way!?" Malakar roared, concealing the fear he felt because of this unearthly beauty before him. "What other way is there!??" Selena's irises frost
Chapter 26 A Simple Date and a Cosmic Conspiracy
Grace giggled, the earlier incident already forgotten, and practically skipped ahead of him. She paused a few steps later and turned back, her cheeks pink. "By the way... thanks for helping me back there. You were... really cool." She stumbled over the last part, turning redder by the second. Orion chuckled, jogging to catch up. "I didn't get the chance earlier, but you look lovely today," he said. "Though, honestly, you didn't need to dress up for someone like me." Grace nearly tripped over her own feet. "Wha—this? It's nothing special!" she sputtered, staring at her shoes as if they were suddenly fascinating. Then her gaze darted to the wooden sword strapped to his back. "Uh... about the sword. Why are you carrying that around? It's kind of... unique." Orion glanced at it and shrugged, shifting its weight on his shoulder. "I've been getting into a new hobby. Hope you don't mind me bringing it." Grace waved her hands frantically. "No, no! It's cool—really cool! Like... like you're so
Chapter 25 A Stalker's Jealousy and a Hero's Entrance
Orion slipped his smartphone back into his pocket, wearing a kind smile that held no semblance to the demonic way he looked when he found Maya in that horrid state. His jaw clenched just remembering that scene, but he quickly calmed his nerves and thought about what he should do for the next four or so hours.That was when he recalled the evil voice of the Idle Evolution System chanting, "You need more Character Development!" into his ears.Left with no other choice if he wanted to have an enjoyable day out with no distractions later, he made the sacrifice and lifted himself down the stairs, careful not to accidentally blow more holes through the house.After successfully incurring very little damage to the once-pristine home, Orion left through the front door, staying purposefully oblivious to the red panda pajama-wearing woman peeking her head over the top-floor railings.'Where is he going...?' Maya's heart suddenly filled with worry. 'Is he heading out to meet another girl...??' S
Chapter 24 A New Challenge and an Unexpected Date
However, before he could enter a very deep state of sleep that could leave him unconscious for an unknown period of time, he drowsily pulled up his long list of Level-up rewards. Then, with a single click that used up strength he didn't have, a bright golden light flashed and enveloped his body.[Status Recovered!]"Huff...!" Orion felt like a new life had been granted to him as he shot up and returned oxygen to his lungs. "I hate to have to waste one of my limited Status Recoveries on something like this, but it was necessary if I want to avoid suspicions."After feeling a tinge of regret over the loss he incurred, Orion finally got around to putting on his clothes. Strangely, with them on, he appeared very sharp. His slightly chiseled facial features did the black dress shirt and shorts some justice. Yet, just when he was beginning to appreciate how handsome he had become, the system made him scrunch his face.Ding![The Host seems a bit narcissistic to me—]"That isn't it..."[—See
Chapter 23 The Hundred Swings of a Thousand Pounds
He jinxed it.Thud![Acquired 'Newbie 1 Weighted Wooden Training Sword'!]An eastern-style wooden katana plopped in front of Orion, leaving a splintered floor where it fell. Its weight was higher than each individual Newbie Item given so far, coming in at over 1,000 pounds.Then, to add to his disgruntlement, another system notification appeared.Ding!{[Daily Quest 2]}—[You are looking awfully flabby as of late. But worry not, the system has decided to be magnanimous and add a tougher regimen!]—[Swing Newbie 1 Training Sword 100 times, with that number increasing daily based on the Fibonacci Sequence, starting with Day 2 being 150 times. Day 3 will be 250 times, Day 4 will be 400 times, and so on.][Reward: 1 Point in Agility and 1 Point in Strength][Failure: Loss of what makes you a man]Silence.Orion didn't even know why he bothered with the Idle Evolution System anymore. But seeing as this was another way to get stronger—and he didn't want to lose his balls and joystick—he rel
Chapter 22 The Weight of Character Development and an Early Morning Grind
Taking Orion out of his depressing thoughts, Maya walked toward the bathroom door, only to furtively glance at him before attempting a sneaky escape. "D-Don't mention this to anyone, okay?" she tried to demand with her usual fierceness, yet found it tough to hold his intense gaze. "And about the hospital... Thank you... I mean it... If you weren't there, I would have..."Orion waved his hand dismissively. "Go on, then. And try not to get chewed out too hard by your mother," he chuckled softly, causing her heart rate to quicken. She scuttered out of his room while furiously blushing. "I-I will repay the favor...!" she promised before her cute, bouncy tushy vanished from view."You don't have to..." Orion attempted to say, yet realized that she could no longer hear him.He heaved a breath of tired air before putting on a pair of underwear and finding himself sprawled out on his bed. Even though his Fatigue was not very high, the mental waves of exhaustion weighing on his mind had stacke
