2026-01-10 12:49:32—[Ping!]
—[Action Failed!]
—[Player's Current Power Level is insufficient!]
Henri's enthusiasm immediately died as soon as he received this series of system notifications. At the same time, the black flames gradually died down as well.
"Tch. What was I even thinking.." he let out a small self mocking laughter. Even after miraculously coming back to life, his luck still remained the same — Horrible!
—[Player has received Daily Quest!]
—[Daily Quest; Early Build Up!]
"Daily Quest?" with his interest piqued by the sudden system notification, Henri clicked the notification tab for further details.
—[QUEST INFO]
- Name: Early Build Up
- Type: Daily
- Details: Earn +10k DMG points
- Guide: 30 push-ups, 20 press ups, 10 squats

Successfully checking up on his sister, Henri eventually left the premises of Ivy Blue Hospital, boarding a taxi with his destination set towards his apartment building.
However what Henri didn't know was that just across the road, a man inside a sleek black sedan secretly took a picture of him.
Returning back to his apartment, Henri didn't waste any moment longer, getting right into the workout presented to him by the system. Although he had no idea regarding the value of DMG points or even what the system was and how it operated, he could still clearly recall the sensation he felt from those black flames from earlier.
Henri didn't know why, but he had an inkling that the system wasn't lying when it claimed those flames could cure his sister — Call it a hunch.
Or maybe Henri was just merely grasping at straws.
But either way one thing was certain, it was highly unlikely he would be able to fully foot the bills for his sister's operation.
..
"Twenty eight.."
"Twenty nine.."
With his chin dripping with sweat, Henri King was currently bare chested, the glistening sweat across his lean frame being particularly eye catching. Currently both of his arms were spread apart with his palms kising the outdated tiles inside his small cozy apartment.
'Damnit. Damnit!' he cussed inwardly as he suddenly lost connection to either of his arms.
One more --
He just needed to push his chest upward one more time and he would successfully complete the system daily Quest!
Over the past six days since he began using the workout the System provided , this was the single moment he dreaded.. this was the moment that always made it impossible for him to complete the System daily Quest
But not today!
With the veins on his forehead bulging, Henri tried his best not to think about the fatigue or searing ache both of his arms were currently suffering from. No. The only thing that existed in his mind at that moment was his beloved sister who was still in a comatose state.
'I can't afford to be lazy. She's depending on me!'
Due to his inability to complete the system daily quest over the past six days, Henri was unable to earn any DMG points. During that time, he had taken it upon himself to become familiar with the workings of the System.
However no matter what angle he looked at it from, earning DMG points was extremely crucial. This was why, today, he was going to complete the System's daily quest!
— Even if that meant breaking all the bones in his body!
"Nghn.. Thirty!" releasing one last grunt, Henri was finally unable to hold it back in. With both of his arms going limp, his entire frame crashed against the tiles like a useless pile of weight.
However as soon as he noticed a particular virtual screen popping up before his eyes, a smile broke through his lips --
Right before he lost consciousness.
..
Henri had no idea how long he was unconscious for. But as soon as he regained consciousness, he didn't even bother about changing out from his sweaty clothes. His attention was immediately focused on the unread system notification.
—[Congratulations! Player has completed Daily Quest; Early Build Up]
"Haha.." Henri let out a small laugh of victory. Despite it taking him nearly a week, he finally did it!
He was now a step closer to curing his sister's ailment!
—[Rewards has been successfully processed!]
—[Player has received +10k DMG points!]
—[Player has received +1 Starters Pack!]
—[System Lottery Function has been successfully unlocked!]
Ignoring the sudden influx of notifications, Henri's attention was completely focused on his recently earned DMG points. However upon reading the full information about it, his countenance immediately sank.
—[System Tidbit]
- DMG points is one of the System's crucial currencies. It can only be earned via taking HP damage.
- All DMG points are automatically converted into Gold Tickets.
- Gold Tickets can be used to draw the System Lottery
- Current Gold Tickets: 10
..
"Just ten?" Henri felt a tad bit disappointed at the exchange rate.
DMG points could only be earned if he took HP damage right? shouldn't it be a bit more valuable?
Dispelling this stray thought from off his mind, Henri focused his attention on the tab labeled as [Lottery Spin]
Successfully clicking on the system tab, a new window screen opened up before his eyes; displaying what appeared to be a virtual lottery wheel that was divided into;
—[Thanks For Spinning!]
—[Cultivation Resources]
—[Skill Resources]
—[Item Resources]
—Gold Tickets: 10
—Diamond Tickets: 10
"Gold and Diamond Tickets" Henri muttered his breath as he read the series of information being displayed before his eyes.
However he didn't have the opportunity to mull over this mystery for long because a new notification suddenly popped up.
—[Lottery Spin automatically drawn!]
—[ -1 Diamond Ticket]
As per the heads up the system gave him, Henri watched as the virtual lottery wheel began rapidly spinning, only to suddenly
experience a sharp decline before its arrow slowly landed on [Cultivation Resources]
—[Congratulations! +1 mana fruit obtained!]

Chapter 10 — Absorbing Death Qi
Henri scratched his head. Lilith obviously wanted him to absorb the so called Death Qi that were constantly being created around him. Unfortunately, Henri had no idea how he was supposed to go about it.—[Ping!]—[Negative Qi successfully detected!] "Huh?" Henri noticed a series of notification windows popping up before his eyes. 'The system can also detect Negative Qi?'—[Does The Player wish to activate Special Function #1?]—[Warning; Player might experience a certain degree of physical and mental pain!] "Special Function number one?" Henri pursed his lips . However despite the warning from the system, Henri was curious to see the capabilities of Special Function number one. Ever since he obtained the system, this was the first time he was hearing the mention of a special function. And it appeared there was more than one. As such in a bid to satisfy his curiosity, Henri gave the mental go ahead. However the next moment, he immediately regretted this rash decision.—[Special Fun
Chapter 9
Wait!" Liam who was just about to take a step forward was forced to stop right on his tracks when he heard this exclaimation from behind him. Curiously looking over his shoulders, he noticed one of the party members behind him was in the process to weaving through a series of hand seals. "The Universe flows in Reverse.. All things are in perfect unity.. the ultimate eye of eternity ses all... Limitless Mandate!" Following this exclaimation, a visible burst of blue colored energy began rapidly leaking out, molding itself into the manifestation of an eye that silently hovered in the air above the party member. Julius Lombardi. Amongst the party of eight raiders, he was the only Shaman and served a role that was even more crucial than that of an Healer! As soon as the eye manifestation appeared above Julius, cold sweat slowly slid down his cheeks as he clasped all ten fingers together. Following his actions, a burst of light erupted that extended outward for over fifteen meters.
Chapter 8
"Is this truly necessary? me playing dress up." with his brows raised in stubborn frustration, Henri slowly emerged from a small makeshift tent that was obviously crudely constructed. Currently, Henri was clad in a unique get up — a sleek black short sleeve top that hugged against his body like a second skin, as well as baggy pants. If one peered closely, they would be able to notice that running across the fabrics of the top were faint patterns, that bore a striking resemblance with scales. — Reptilian scales. Normally in such a scenerio, the top was supposed to be both thick and heavy. But as the one wearing it, Henri noticed the top was extremely lightweight. No, scratch that — it made him feel as light as a feather . "You wanted to enter a place thriving with Feinds, in your regular clothing? you must be either stupid or completely oblivious. Either way, someone like you would only cause trouble for our party." finishing his piece, Chuck Tucker stomped away. It was like just

"I see.. so you aim on becoming a Spiritist Master at my company huh..?" rubbing his beardless chin, Damian West deeply observed the simply dressed young man that was currently seated across from him. The duo were currently at the executive level floor inside Nighthawks Inc office building — more precisely, the CEO office. And they were not alone. "Becoming a Spiritist Master is not that simple. You can't just show up seeking employment. You need to be drafted." the speaker was the old man who Damian West had respectfully addressed as his master. Gerald Martins. "Drafted?" a crease played out across Henri's brows. "Indeed. All potential Spiritist Masters candidates register themselves with VANGUARD and on the National Draft Ceremony, various exploration companies would place bids on their preferred picks.. that is called a draft." Damian West explained in a fluent manner. As the CEO of Nighthawks Inc, it was only natural that he's experienced his own fair share of National Draft
Chapter 6
Before magic became reality, science reigned supreme in society — a majority of labor carried out by man relying heavily on machineries and laws of physics. However this status quo was soon broken when the first Haunt Gate was discovered; a unique spatial gateway that led to a game like realm thriving with powerful beasts that were once thought as myths and legends. They were known as Feinds. Despite the fact that defeating a Feind oftentimes came with some valuable loots, they were not the main attractions of a Haunt Gate — Nebula Stones were! Rumored to the pure and unrefined concentrated spiritual energy that took on solid shape over time, the discovery of Nebula Stones caused the value of the Haunt Gates exploration Industry to reach an all time high and it has only continued to increase with time. Currently, the Industry firmly sat at number one . Due to how lucrative the industry appeared to be, everybody wanted to have a slice of the big fat cake and Henri was no exceptio
