2026-07-13 19:26:56The silver token in Chidi’s hand became incredibly hot, burning his palm as the deep red text pulsed in the dark interior of the speeding vehicle.
[Warning! Your global coordinates have been broadcasted to all S-Rank Guild Leaders.]
[Distance to nearest high-tier tracking array: 800 meters. Interception imminent.]
Chidi shoved the token back into his pocket, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the Dragon Spear. "They know exactly where we are. We will not even reach the gates of the Second Sector."
Ifunanya did not look out the window. She took a small glass bottle filled with blue fluid from her coat and tapped it against the car’s metal dashboard. A faint blue glow spread over the vehicle's frame, instantly masking the engine sound.
In this city, the elite families did not just control the physical streets; they owned the high-tier magical arrays that monitored every citizen’s level and position. If you did not belong to a major guild, your existence was completely transparent to the authorities. Ifunanya had spent years studying the blind spots in her own family’s tracking networks, using her position to build hidden escape routes that her father knew nothing about.
"Relax," Ifunanya said, her voice remaining perfectly steady as the car swerved down a dark side street. "The Cross family built the tracking array for the outer gates. I know the exact frequency they use to broadcast your location. The signal updates every sixty seconds. If we change vehicles before the next pulse, they will hit a ghost target."
Chidi looked at his mother, who had her eyes closed, her lips moving in silent prayer. The fear in her face made Chidi’s chest feel incredibly tight. She had spent her whole life working in the low-tier laundries, buying low-grade bread just so he could have enough energy to go to the novice dungeons. She did not deserve to be hunted like an escaped monster.
"If anything happens to her," Chidi said, turning his gaze back to Ifunanya, "your security contract will not save you from this spear.
Ifunanya looked at the silver tip of the weapon, a cold smile appearing on her face. "I like your focus, Chidi. But right now, you need to understand what you are holding. Look at your system panel. The first seal is open.
Chidi closed his eyes for a split second, bringing up his internal system screen. The standard blue boxes had vanished, replaced by a jagged, crimson window that seemed to vibrate with intense energy.
[Sovereign Spear: Seal 1 Unlocked.]
[New Passive Skill: Dragon Blood Suppression. Reduces the attack power of all targets within five meters by 20 percent.]
[Active Skill Unlocked: Soul Pierce. Allows the user to ignore the first layer of any magical or physical shield. Cost: 50 Mana units. Cooldown: 10 minutes.]
[System Warning: The Dungeon Core is actively searching for the spear’s frequency. Do not use Active Skills near open rifts.]
The car came to a sudden halt inside a large, abandoned transit station. The driver ran to the back door, opening it quickly. "Lady Ifunanya, the next tracking pulse happens in ten seconds. We must leave the vehicle now.
Chidi pulled his mother out of the car, his eyes scanning the dark station. His Sovereign Gaze activated automatically, cutting through the shadows.
[Object: Old Transit Rail.]
[Condition: Operational. Connects directly to the underground research facility of the Second Sector.]
[Threat: Three level-20 scout drones from the Golden Sun Guild are hovering above the southern exit.]
"Follow me," Ifunanya said, walking toward an old cargo elevator hidden behind a pile of rusted metal crates. "My father’s personal guards are waiting at the bottom. Once we are inside the bunker, Marcus Vance cannot enter without declaring open war on the Cross family.
They stepped into the elevator, the heavy iron gates closing with a loud metallic crash. As the elevator started its deep descent into the earth, the red warning screen in Chidi's vision suddenly flashed three times.
[Tracking pulse completed.]
[Location masked successfully. Current status: Hidden.]
Chidi let out a slow breath, but he did not lower the Dragon Spear. He stood in the center of the elevator, his body tense as he looked at the steel walls. "Your family wants to use me to fight the Iron Fangs. What happens after the war is over?
Ifunanya leaned against the metal railing, her sharp eyes studying his face. "In our world, you are only useful as long as you have a weapon that cannot be duplicated. The moment you lose that spear, you become a liability. If you want to keep your mother safe, you must become too strong for my father to discard. I am helping you because I want to control the new city council, and I need a partner who isn't afraid to spill blood.
The elevator stopped with a heavy thud. The iron gates slid open, revealing a massive, brightly lit underground hall filled with high-tech monitors and rows of glass pods. Standing in the center of the room was a middle-aged man with silver hair, wearing a white coat over a set of heavy purple armor.
It was Chief Inspector Cross, Ifunanya’s father and the head of the city's research division. He looked at Chidi, his eyes expanding with immediate greed as they landed on the Dragon Spear.
"You actually brought him," the chief inspector said, his voice echoing through the large hall. He did not look at Chidi's mother or ask about the journey. He walked straight toward Chidi, reaching out a hand covered in scanning rings. "Let me see the weapon. The energy reading coming from that shaft is higher than an S-rank boss core."
Chidi took a step back, the silver tip of the spear pointing directly at the man’s chest. "Keep your distance.
The chief inspector stopped, his face turning sour. "Young man, you are in my facility. Without my protection, the Golden Sun Guild will tear you apart by morning."
Before Chidi could speak, the massive security monitors on the wall suddenly turned dark. The bright lights in the ceiling flickered, turning a deep, warning yellow as a loud siren began to echo through the underground bunker.
A panicked technician ran from the control desk, his hands shaking as he looked at the central display screen. "Chief Inspector! The primary containment barrier has just been breached from the inside! The S-Rank rift specimen... it has just broken out of its tank!"

The Dragon’s Revenge
Marcus Vance’s heavy black claws tore through the warship deck plating, sending iron sparks flying into the dark air.In this world, once a hunter consumed raw dragon nectar, their system class merged permanently with mutant rift beasts. They gained massive physical strength and level boosts, but their minds decayed rapidly as the beast blood took control of their human thoughts. Marcus Vance had traded his soul to become an eight-foot dragon beast, thinking he could conquer the seven sectors, but he had only turned himself into a mindless monster driven by pure instinct and greed.Ifunanya did not flinch as the massive beast swung its heavy claws toward us. Her mind worked faster than any human computer, calculating the structural limits of our warship’s engine deck and the exact angle of Marcus Vance’s mutation fl
The Price of Loyalty
My blood turned completely cold as I stared at the golden collar locked around my mother's neck on the screen.In this world, a golden royal collar was the most cruel device created by the High Sovereign Court. It was linked directly to the Royal System Matrix, allowing high-tier nobles to shock, track, or instantly destroy the heart of any prisoner with a single thought. The court used these collars on captured family members to force rogue hunters to give up their legendary items or turn themselves in for public execution.Ifunanya stepped closer to the screen, her cold eyes analyzing the metal walls behind my mother in less than three seconds. She did not panic, nor did she let her feelings hide her sharp thinking. While Commander Tora cursed under her breath, Ifunanya’s mind was already dissecting the video feed to figure o
Prince Valen’s Mandate
The giant golden battle station fired fifty heavy cannon rounds at once, sending golden beams of pure energy tearing through the night sky directly toward our ship.In this world, the High Sovereign Court held ultimate power over every sector through the Royal System Matrix, a global energy grid that monitored all registered player classes. Prince Valen was not just a royal heir; he held the unique Level 99 class of Sovereign Arbiter, giving him authority to lock down entire airspaces and strip lower-tier hunters of their active skills with a single command.Ifunanya stood beside me on the metal deck, her short hair flying in the strong wind as three golden beams exploded against our warship’s outer force field. She did not panic or flinch when the iron floor shook under our feet. Her sharp brain worked at top speed, analyzing
A Dangerous Alliance
The massive red energy beam hit High Executioner Vane in the chest, blasting his body back into the crumbling trench as dust and stone debris flew into the air.In this world, the Rebel Syndicate was the only armed army that dared to fight open wars against the High Sovereign Court. They operated from secret mobile bases hidden inside unmapped rift zones, using heavy anti-system artillery to break through the High Court’s golden energy shields. While high council lords ruled the central cities through fear and strict laws, the Syndicate recruited rogue hunters, abandoned scavengers, and fallen nobles to fight for control over the core rifts.Ifunanya looked up at the red-haired woman standing on the iron deck of the warship, her sharp eyes instantly recognizing the Syndicate emblem stamped on the ship's heavy hull. She did not
The Golden Cage
The golden bars locked into place with a deafening click, trapping Chidi, Ifunanya, and Kira inside a cage of pure divine mana.In this world, the High Sovereign Court sat above all city guilds, regional councils, and sector lords. They controlled the ancient realm seals and held absolute authority over high-tier dragon inheritances. While regular guilds fought over land and trade routes, the High Court worked in secret to wipe out any unregistered hunter who awakened a true royal bloodline. To them, a scavenger holding the Sovereign Dragon Heart was a direct threat to their global rule, and they had come to reclaim what they believed belonged only to the ruling bloodlines.Ifunanya stepped up to the glowing bars, her face completely calm despite the extreme heat radiating off the metal. She did not waste her breath screaming or poun
The Heart of the Rift
The blue core floating beneath Ifunanya’s platform pulsed with raw energy, throwing bright light across the entire underground chamber.In this world, high-tier rift masters like Malakor could not maintain physical forms outside their native void dimensions without anchoring their artificial heart cores to high-density mana battery stations. By hiding his spatial anchor directly underneath the Cross Guild's stolen laboratory supply line, Malakor had turned himself into an unkillable ghost. But Ifunanya had spent four days as a captive tracking the power flow in the walls, calculating the exact moment when the anchor core would overheat and expose its physical shell. She did not care if her own father lost his leverage or if the whole room exploded, as long as she broke the guild's control over her life."Strike it now, Chidi!"
