Sarah and James left after seeing that Bella was okay and smiling a lot more than she ever did. The Aurora Guild was also asking for them, so they really had to leave. Soon after, Neo and Bella left the apartment, they agreed to buy a new house after Bella finished her trial in the tower. Neo walked with Bella in tow as he held her hand. Bella was like a shy little girl who was enjoying time with her loved one and this lover of hers was getting more and more charming. "What are you thinking?" Blaze asked as he saw her lost in thought. "Hmm? Nothing." "Nope, you are thinking about me." "?" "You are thinking that I'm getting more and more charming?" "How?" "Just a guess." Blaze grinned as they walked toward the property dealer. Bella knew it was Blaze, as he would tease her like that and she kind of enjoyed it, as most of his pokes are for cheering her up. They arrived at the property dealership. The exterior of the shop showcased a harmonious fusion of sleek architecture and
Then they entered into the second one, Tree of Technomancy. The Tree of Technomancy stood tall and majestic, a living embodiment of the harmonious fusion between nature and technology. Its trunk was thick and sturdy, with a bark that appeared to be a seamless integration of organic matter and metallic fibers. The branches extended outward, branching and dividing into living spaces and interconnected walkways. Soft, bioluminescent lights dotted the branches, casting an otherworldly glow throughout the tree. Within its canopy, one can find comfortable living quarters, complete with holographic interfaces, energy-efficient systems, and advanced amenities. The air was filled with a sense of tranquility and harmony, as the tree's consciousness emanated a soothing presence, a reminder of the balance between nature and innovation. Both of them liked the second one and called for the agent. The agent, although reluctant, still walked toward them and said in an annoyed tone, "What do you want
The mob-boss was stunned as he turned toward Bella and used the "Inspect" but it returned with [???] He went pale with fright, as it only happened when a person had a higher rank than them or that they have special equipment that can hide their status from others. He wanted to kill the agent for bringing such a problem to his door. Both types of people were not something a small ruffian like him could handle. "Is that a regret? It's a little too late for that." The boss raised his arm as he saw a fist moving toward his face. Zing* Boom* Lightning in the punch paralyzed the guy for a moment, enough for Blaze to kick him away into another car that had just arrived in front of the property dealership. A young man, 19 years old, blue hair, symmetric nose, and blue eyes, came out of the car wearing a formal cloth. He looked at the bent car bonnet and then at the mob boss, who was shaking his head in dizziness. He then turned toward Blaze, who had the agent by his neck, as he quest
Neo took the orb from him and handed it to Bella. She smiled as she put it away and stood up. Some girls in that group felt a little jealous as they also wanted a boyfriend who can buy things like this for them. The blue hair saw them leaving the shop and decided to leave as well. He left the shop and found Bella and Blaze standing before his car. A little surprised, he walked toward them when Neo said, "Sorry about this." "It's okay." The guy said as he observed the duo. "I'm Neo and this is Bella, my wife." Blaze interrupted their silence and introduced themselves. The blue hair was surprised once more and saw Bella, who smiled as she nodded toward him while pinching Blaze. "Oww." "Michael. Michael Rose." Michael extended his hand, and Neo shook it. "Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Rose." "Michael would do." "Neo." Neo extended his hand, which Michael shook, and he turned to Bella, who nodded and then said, "Let's go. We still have some work to do." "Until we meet again, Micha

Just when he finished saying that, the door opened as a doctor arrived, along with a nurse and a burly person, with black hair and a slightly trimmed beard. He had brown eyes, nothing too outstanding other than his burly body and bulging muscles that twitched in a peculiar uniform which Neo didn't know was police attire. The doctor checked his vitals and, looking at them in confusion, he said, "I'm doctor Nicolas, this is deputy chief Thomas Smith. How are you feeling?" "My head is spinning." Blaze answered as he acted like he was dizzy. He didn't know which situation he was in and didn't have one inch idea about what happened to him. So, acting was the best thing he could think of right now. "It's normal. We have administered the drug and closed the stab wound. Now chief Smith here has some questions for you." After which he stepped aside and Thomas moved forward as he asked, "What happened that last night?" "Last night?" "You were stabbed, and your head was also smashed by a bl
"How did you know I was in a hospital?""Oh, someone called me from your phone and told me about it."{Hospital staff.}'Maybe.'Edward was walking Neo to his home. He offered to stay with him, but Neo politely declined. He had a lot on his plate and needed some time to figure things out.And he was still hungry. After walking for some time and leaving the city. The building his apartment was in was old and worn, with faded paint and creaky stairs. The neighborhood it was in had seen better days, with dilapidated buildings and a general sense of neglect.{And I moved out a week ago.}Neo felt the irony in that statement as he looked at "his house" when he entered it with a key that he got along with his "Smartphone"The apartment itself was small and cramped. The walls were bare and painted in a dull, off-white color. The flooring was worn-out linoleum, showing signs of age and use. The furniture consisted of a beat-up couch, a rickety table, and a mismatched chair. There was a small
Neo also found that his attributes were stuck between 30 and 40, which should be three to four times the power of an adult. Blaze thought about it for a moment and said, "I can use this time to learn how to utilize my skills manually without the help of the tower." 'Now I know why senior Sev told me not to rely on the Tower.' {Which one was he talking about?} 'That… I don't know.' Neo contemplated for a while before saying, "Then I'll start searching for the citadel." Blaze started simulating the skills in his mind as he formed a mental room which he didn't know he could as he started experimenting with the skills. He wanted to find the correct pathway for these skills required, and he had to do that with his memories of how he utilized them as even in his mind room, he would need to know the path and amount of mana each skill required along with any secret activation key if it had any. Neo looked at the time and it was 8 o'clock. "I should check out this college." He went back
