Bright Light Kingdom, Year 710 of the Star Calendar, 31st Day of the Dark Moon Month.... The night sky was filled with brightly shining stars, illuminating the firmament that covered the entire world of Primordia. Although the entire firmament was filled with countless radiant stars that should have illuminated the world despite the darkness of night, not a single speck of starlight reached the ground. Alongside the shining stars, a black moon hung over the entire world, absorbing all the light that should have reached the ground and plunging the world into deep darkness. Woosh! Suddenly, in one of the slums of the Bright Light Kingdom, a scorching, sun-like fireball, nearly two meters in diameter, lit up high above the ground. "Hahaha! Once you die, everything that is yours will belong to me. Your wealth, your companions, your woman, everything that is yours will be mine!" A laugh filled with arrogance resounded from high above the sky as a muscular man, with both of his arms c

“Check everything again. Make sure there is nothing wrong with the formation,” Hans, a middle-aged man with brown hair who was responsible for the awakening ceremony, instructed sternly. “Don’t worry, Professor Hans. It’s not like we are doing this for the first time. You can begin the awakening ceremony without any worries,” one of the men responsible for setting up the formation spoke with great confidence. ‘Besides, even with a perfect formation, it’s not like these people can awaken anything good,’ the man thought inwardly as he glanced at the crowd with a look of disdain in his eyes. If it weren’t because it was necessary and the pay was good, he would have never stepped into this foul-smelling place. Hans could easily tell what the man was thinking, and honestly, he felt the same. Not to mention that these people lacked guidance materials for their awakening, making it difficult for them to awaken a good Aspect, there were many other factors as well that made it very difficu

There were many slums in the Bright Light Kingdom, and the slum Ethan lived in was merely one of them. The people of the Bright Light Kingdom did not have good feelings toward those living in the slums. The reason behind this attitude was the origin of these slums. Hundreds of years ago, these places had not been slums at all. Instead, they had been mining cities where criminals were sent to mine a special ore called Nether Fire Ore. Nether Fire Ore was a Rank Two material that could be used to create many things, including weapons, armor, and various other tools. However, mining this ore was not easy. It contained a dangerous substance known as fire poison, which slowly corroded the body of anyone exposed to it for long periods. Because of this, the task of mining Nether Fire Ore was assigned to criminals who had committed crimes. As more and more criminals were sent there to mine the ore, the mining settlement gradually expanded, and over time, the mining site eventually devel

(You have successfully triggered Ancient Level Mutation) (Your Aspect, Rage Ape is mutating) ==== When Ethan, who was on the verge of losing consciousness, saw these two notifications, he felt as if he had been injected with the most potent energy drink, and his mind immediately snapped into focus. He even forgot about the piercing pain that was ravaging his body, staring only at the notifications with his bloodshot eyes, which gleamed with excitement. 'I was hoping to trigger a Legendary-level mutation, but it actually triggered an Ancient-level mutation.' Ethan thought to himself, his heart filled with boundless joy. The sound of bones cracking echoed for a full fifteen minutes before Ethan's body finally returned to its normal state. Even with the newfound motivation of triggering an Ancient-level mutation, Ethan still nearly passed out because the pain of having his entire body structure reorganized was simply too intense. Drenched in cold sweat, he gasped for breath as he

Ethan took the second scroll and looked at it's details. --) Night vision (passive skill) :- The user of this skill can see in the night. Although this skill looks like it won't do anything good but Ethan was happy with this skill because currently, he is inside the dark forest so he can't hunt at night because he can't see anything at night just like yesterday where he thought he was in a void devoid of light. But with the help of this skill Ethan is sure that he can utilize his time more perfectly in the dark forest. Since most of the stronger magic beast hunt at night Ethan's past plan was to hunt in the daytime and rest at night to avoid these magic beasts. There were two reasons for him to avoid these magic beast that hunts at night, first was that the magic beasts that hunt in the outer zone at night are mostly above level 12 and are stronger than him and they can use the environment of the dark forest better than him since they are hunting here for a long time and this is hi
