The tires of the silver motorcycle crunched against the beautiful driveway of the neutral territory. Eren killed the engine, and for a moment, the only sound was the clicking of the cooling metal. Before them stood the mansion, a towering structure of glass and dark stone that seemed to glow under the afternoon sun."We’re here," Eren said, his voice unusually quiet.Lala and his mother didn't move at first. They stood on the pavement, clutching their small bags of belongings, looking like two people who had accidentally stepped into a dream. When Eren led them through the front doors, the transition was jarring. The air inside didn't smell like dust or the charcoal smoke of the slums. It was cool, filtered, and carried a faint scent of expensive wood.Their footsteps echoed against the polished marble floors. A grand staircase rose in the center of the foyer, sweeping upward like a frozen wave. Above them, a massive crystal chandelier hung from the high ceiling, casting fractured lig

Eren pushed his bike through the streets, his teeth gleaming in a sharp, confident smile. The wind rushed past him, carrying away the last remnants of his old, timid self."Although I didn't plan to expose myself like that, I am surprised it happened," Eren said, speaking into the Bluetooth headset connected to his phone."So what are you going to do now that you are a Rank B?" Hannah’s voice crackled from the other end. "Are you going to leave your sister in the East Wing and watch her clean while you go to school in the west Wing?"Eren pulled the brake suddenly, the tires of the Neiman Marcus hissing against the asphalt. He went silent. Hannah had a point. The thought of moving up into the world of luxury while leaving Lala to scrub floors in the slums sat like lead in his stomach. He wouldn't want a situation where he had to watch his sister go through that hell while he lived like a king."Hannah, let me call you back," he said abruptly.His mother’s name was flashing on his scre

Eren burst through the heavy double doors of the testing block, his boots hitting the pavement with a frantic, joyful thud. He was jumping, punching the air as if he could touch the very sky that had once looked down on him."I am rich! I am fucking rich now!" he screamed. The sheer volume of his voice echoed off the sterile stone walls of the academy, but he didn't care. He was so caught up in his victory that he didn't even notice the three figures walking majestically toward the entrance.Victoria, Helen, and Olivia stopped dead in their tracks."Isn't that Eren McPherson?" Helen asked. She squinted, her eyes following the muscular back of the man retreating toward the parking lot.Victoria let out a sharp, mocking tsk. "That boy? Eren? He must be one of the new students. Look at that build.""No, I am very sure that's Eren the omega," Helen insisted, her voice trembling slightly."Eren is small and looks pale," Olivia corrected, her voice cold and final. "That boy's build is like

In the East Wing of Audrex Academy, the air was heavy with the scent of expensive perfume and the quiet hum of air conditioning. Ms. Jane was at the front of the room, her voice droning on about anger management techniques that none of the students intended to use.In the back row, the atmosphere was entirely different. Victoria and Helen were leaning toward Olivia, who sat like a queen on a throne she didn't have to earn. Helen tapped a manicured nail against her desk, her eyes darting toward the teacher before she whispered, "Olivia. Olivia!"Olivia rotated her chair with a slow, deliberate grace. Ms. Jane caught her eye, but the teacher quickly looked back at her textbook, continuing her lecture as if she were alone in the room. No one dared to challenge the Elite X, especially not a middle-class instructor whose job depended on the Board of Directors."Why are you disturbing me, Helen?" Olivia asked, her voice silky and bored."You know, ever since that day... what you did to that

"What did he say his name was?" someone from the gathering crowd muttered."I didn't hear him quite well. Did he say McPherson?" another whispered.The lady behind the registration desk paused. She leaned forward as if she hadn't processed the words correctly. "What did you say your name was again?""Eren McPherson," he repeated. His voice was steady. It held a resonance that seemed to vibrate through the hardwood of the desk.She began typing the name into her terminal with a skeptical frown. After a few moments of clicking, her hands froze. "But the system says you killed yourself," she stated flatly. She pulled her glasses down to the tip of her nose and looked at him. She looked at his boots, his well-built frame, and finally his face. "The Eren McPherson in these records and the one standing right beside me... they both have white hair. But the boy in the file looks like a stray strand of noodles."Eren offered a thin, dangerous smile. In his past life, he would have been fidgeti

The crushing weight on Eren’s chest began to lift as the cyan light of the interface pulsed with a cold, unforgiving rhythm. The shared agony he felt from his stepfather’s injuries receded into a dull throb.[Penalty Update: For going against the system, your quest time has been reduced to 48 hours. Take the promotion exam now.]The text flickered and vanished before Eren could even draw a full breath to protest. He stood alone on the outskirts of the district, his hands shaking as he gripped the handlebars of his silent machine."Because I chose wealth, I won't be able to use power?" he asked the empty air. "What if I am in danger? What happens then?"He ran his fingers through his shock of white hair, looking down at his own body. The muscles were there, tight and defined under his expensive new leather, but they felt like a hollow shell."With all this strength, I am not allowed to use it. Why didn't I choose the other path? Now this foolish system is commanding me to go to the Aca
