Chapter 196: An Investment
It was 18:30 when Bella walked back into the Guild with Kyle trailing behind, still getting used to his new suit. She headed straight for the Guildmaster's office, knocked once, and went in. Katherine was already there, still buried in papers."Here's his account details," she said, sliding a paper across the desk. "For the money."The Guildmaster nodded, writing it down. "It'll process soon."Katherine stepped in. "I need it too. I have to pay him the money I promised."Bella smirked. "Oh, right. The porter thing. Almost forgot he's yours."Katherine's eyes narrowed, but she stayed quiet, taking a copy of the number and jotting it down fast.Kyle who was at the back just watching, shifted, feeling out of place. "Uh, thank you.""Don't thank me yet," Katherine said, tone flat. "You still owe me work."Bella winked. "You're welcome, sweetie."The guildmaster looked it him for a few seconds. "I see you have improved your appearance.""Yes, thanks to Bella, she is very kind."Katherine l
Chapter 195: New account
Kyle stepped out of the Guild with Bella, the afternoon sun hitting his face. He stopped dead when he saw it—a sleek, shiny pink car parked right outside. It looked like something out of a dream, all curves and polish, way too fancy for a slum kid like him."Is that... yours?" he asked, eyes wide.Bella smirked, twirling a key around her finger. "Yep. Pretty, right? Come on, hop in."He hesitated. "I don't wanna mess it up. This thing's worth more than my life."She laughed, opening the passenger door. "You won't. Just don't bleed on the seats, okay?"He climbed in, sinking into the soft leather. It smelled clean, like flowers and money. His hands hovered, afraid to touch anything. Bella slid into the driver's seat, hit the ignition, and the car purred to life. They peeled away from the Guild, the ride smooth as glass.He stared out the window, watching buildings blur by—shops, people, streets he'd never bothered with before. "Never been in a car this nice," he said, half to himself.
Chapter 194: New Program
The office was beyond Kyle's expectation. Everything screamed money—gold-trimmed walls, a huge window showing off Necrus's skyline, a carpet so soft he felt bad stepping on it with his dirty boots. Shelves lined with books and weird glowing trophies watched him as he shuffled in. Behind a massive desk sat the Guildmaster. A woman. Petite, smaller than he'd expected, but beautiful—maybe even more than Bella. Her hair was jet-black, cut short and sharp, framing a face that could've been carved from marble. Her eyes, bright green, locked onto him, and he froze. She wore a sleek outfit—dark red, tailored perfect, with gold stitching that matched the room. Expensive didn't even cover it. "Kyle Anders," she said, voice calm but firm. "Sit." He nodded fast, dropping into the chair across from her. It was too big, too cushy, and he felt like a kid playing pretend. 'Don't screw this up, Kyle. Don't screw this up.' The Guildmaster leaned back in her chair, those sharp green eyes stud
Chapter 193: They fixed me?
Kyle woke up slowly, his head foggy like he'd been hit by a truck—again. His eyes cracked open, and he squinted at the ceiling. No hospital tiles this time, just a very expensive roofing. The air smelled like paper and coffee, not medicine. He was on a couch, a very soft one, with a thin blanket tossed over him. His body ached, but it wasn't the sharp, broken mess he remembered. He shifted, groaning, and felt tight scars pull across his chest and arm. "Awake, huh?" Katherine's voice cut through the haze. He turned his head—ow, bad idea—and saw her sitting at her desk, scribbling on some papers. "Yeah," he croaked, voice rough. "Where...?" "My office," she said, not looking up. "Some Hunters found you outside the dungeon. Half-dead, covered in blood. They read your card, saw you are part of this guild, and dragged you back here." Kyle blinked, sitting up slow. His shirt was gone, replaced by bandages wrapped around his torso. He touched his arm—scarred-up, pink and jagged, but no
Chapter 192: Near Death
'I am not scared.' He thought, ducking under a claw attack and kicking the monster in the chest. 'I feel like I can do anything.' He grabbed the monster's head and started punching it over and over again until the monster finally bled.A dark red blood.Just when he thought things were going his way, the monster's mouth charged up a beam that shocked him to the bone. He jumped back but the beam still connected, smashing him into the wall.Pain exploded through his body, bones cracking, muscles screaming. But something inside him refused to break."Is that all you've got?" He growled, pushing himself up. Blood dripped from his mouth. His ribs felt like shattered glass. Each breath was agony. But his eyes burned with something wild—something that wasn't going to die today.The monster charged again. Its claws ripped through the air, aiming to tear him apart.He didn't dodge. He didn't run.He lunged forward.A mad idea, born of desperation, flashed through his mind. Time seemed to stre
Chapter 191: Glitch
They moved deeper into the caves, the air growing colder. Kyle's boots scraped against the stone, every sound magnified in the silence.Ten minutes in, they found their first monster.It was... underwhelming.A rock-crawler, about the size of a dog, scuttled out from behind a boulder. It looked like someone had crossed a crab with a nightmare, all spiky limbs and too many eyes.Buzzcut didn't even blink. He stepped forward, sword flashing, and cleaved the thing in half before it could hiss.Kyle stared. "That's it?"The girl rolled her eyes. "It's a Rank 2, not a dragon. Keep up."Kyle shrugged and got to work, prying the tiny monster core from its corpse. The others moved on, leaving him to scramble after them.***Hours passed. They fought more crawlers, a couple of tunnel snakes (which were exactly as fun as they sounded), and something called a "shriek bat" (which lived up to its name). Kyle watched, learned, and occasionally ducked when a monster got too close.The team worked li
