Seraphina gave Aron a puzzled look after hearing his firm declaration about remaining with one wife. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, “Do you have many offspring, my lord?”

Aron, caught off guard by the sudden shift in the conversation, replied, “No, I don’t have any. Why?” His curiosity was piqued, and he couldn’t help but wonder what prompted the question. At the same time, a part of him questioned whether this entire conversation was somehow tied to Nova’s earlier efforts to help Seraphina come to terms with her defeat—or if it was something else entirely.

Instead of answering directly, Seraphina posed another question. “Is it because your soul partner is incapable of bearing strong offspring from your seed?”

“No,” Aron replied curtly, though his expression betrayed his growing confusion. His thoughts screamed, What the heck are these questions for?

Seraphina pressed on, her tone carrying both sincerity and a hint of frustration. “Then shouldn’t you take as many strong soul

  • Getting a Technology System in Modern Day   Where it all Began

    Life is about the moments we fucked up and here is mine. I was abruptly awakened from my sleep by a sharp voice amplified through a microphone, causing me to be jolted. As I opened my eyes, I was met with an unsettling sight of my very own face being projected on the screen that was positioned right behind the speaker. This realization shook off any dizziness that I had and only deepened my sense of panic, causing my whole body to tremble for a moment with a frantic expression evident on my face. After a few seconds of disorientation and recalibrating my disarrayed thoughts, I was finally able to remember that today was the day when my professor was going to give a thesis presentation. The voice amplified through the microphone belonged to none other than my professor, who currently stood on the stage, and from the looks of it, the man appeared to be visibly upset with the fact that someone had fallen asleep during his presentation. I started to feel a rush of embarrassment and re

    As the graduation ceremony came to a conclusion, Aron trudged back to his dormitory to gather all of his belongings. Being expelled from the school, he had to leave the school grounds within a week. Although he appealed their verdict, the authorities denied him of it and further informed him that he wouldn't be allowed to appeal any more due to the conclusive evidence they had obtained against him. So, they advised him that he shouldn't be wasting their time and rather start preparing himself so that he could leave the campus grounds before being forcefully thrown out. With his heavy heart filled with disappointment and frustration, Aron could only leave the university all alone without noticing anyone around to send him off, that was because he had lost almost all his friends after the accusation was announced against him. And the remaining two friends of his also couldn't see him off as they had to attend the mandatory meeting that was held for graduates. As for the rest of his fr

    The next morning after Aron woke up, as soon as he rose from his bed, suddenly a voice rang in his mind saying, "SAY STATUS" "What? STATUS?" and since he was still in a disoriented state from his sleep, Aron simply muttered what he had heard in his head in a confused manner. However, the system didn't care whether it really was his intention or not. What mattered to it was whether the magic word was mentioned or not, and it was. So right after Aron uttered the word trying to shake off his sleep, a blue screen suddenly appeared in front of him, displaying a series of information. [STATUS] Name: Aron Michael Age: 22 Height: 1.89m System Class: Runemaster [SHOP] {Search} (SP amount: 100,000) [QUEST] [ {Daily quest: Ways to get stronger} 100 Push-ups (0/100) 100 Crunches (0/100) 100 Squat (0/100) 10 Kilometres Running (0/10) (Rewards: 100 SP) ] Just as his face was about to show some fear after witnessing a random screen suddenly pop in front of his face out of nowhere

    Aron rose from the ground, his breathing turned ragged and laboured after an intense series of push-ups on the grassy expanse of the park. As he tried to steady his breathing, he began to jog, his movements smooth and effortless as he traversed across the verdant landscape. With each stride he took, he felt the muscles of his legs come to life, his feet pounding the soft earth underneath them with a steady rhythm. The morning sun shone down on him, casting long shadows behind him as he ran through the open spaces, his senses attuned to the sights and sounds around him. Despite the challenge of the workout he had just completed, Aron continued to press on, pushing himself harder and harder with each passing moment. His breathing grew deeper and more measured, his body was also working in a perfect harmony as he ran with the power and grace like that of an athlete in his prime. And the young man continued to do so until a screen appeared in front of him. That was when he knew that his

    And soon enough, the program had already started testing every exploit that could be used to breach the University’s system's defences, rendering the firewall it was supposed to be protected with as ineffective as a tofu, just a touch it couldn’t even stand for more at all. While the University has invested a significant amount of money for the security of their system, when it was in the eyes of Aron's program, it looked like nothing more than a kid trying to fight against a tank. It was effortlessly ripped through, identifying and detailing every weakness, providing instructions on how even a beginner-level programmer could exploit the system. With the passing of the seventh hour since the system started going through the University’s System, Aron’s program still continued on exposing more and more vulnerabilities. There were several reasons why this process was taking such a long time to complete. Firstly, it was because Aron’s computer was cheap since his family couldn't affor

  • Getting a Technology System in Modern Day   The First Target

    After exploiting the vulnerabilities and gaining access to the university's database and finding out who it was who had been plotting for his misery, Aron managed to calm himself down and then shifted his focus towards earning money first in order to relieve himself from the debt so that it won't raise a negative situation in the future. With that, he decided to find his first target for his grand money-making plan. And since he needed a large amount of money, Aron needed to find the victim who would not only put way too much importance on their data security but also boasted a very large user base and wanted to prevent user data theft. This means that such a target will be willing to pay more money for his service, since a data leak for them may mean that they would lose their user’s trust in their security system. So, with all that in mind, Aron decided to focus on social media sites since they perfectly met all of his criteria. He then started investigating these platforms and ini

    CAFE Aron arrived at the meeting place where he had planned to meet with Felix and give him a detailed explanation in order for him to prepare for the meeting with the F******k officials and negotiation with F******k. Three Minutes after Aron had gotten his drink, Felix arrived, shaking hands with Aron and giving him a hug. Aron's friend sat down on the opposite side. "How have you been coping since that day?" Felix asked with slight worry, he was aware of Aron’s condition and also thought that his friend wouldn’t have done such a thing. "Though, it was difficult at first, it has been going pretty well now, in fact, I'm even surprised at myself," Aron smiled while answering and waving his hand. Although he didn't explain the reason as to what was helping him cope or gave him hope, it didn't mean he wasn't grateful for it. Without the arrival of the system, it would have taken him longer to be able to recover and move on from what had happened to him, and since those nasty people

    After a few days, it was finally time for the meeting with the group from F******k, and having provided with all the expenses, Aron and Felix didn't fret about anything and were now in the venue that was planned for the meeting to take place. The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense as the group of eight sat in their respective positions, with each side almost mirroring the other. On one side of the long conference table sat Aron, accompanied by his friend and lawyer Felix with a laptop in front of him displaying a folder labelled as "Sensitive Information" on the screen, and a USB flash drive inserted in the computer. On the opposite side sat six individuals, including Roxana, the head of security at F******k, along with five other people, three among which were lawyers and the other two were from the security department of the F******k site. Aron fidgeted in his seat, his eyes darting nervously from the screen to the faces of the people sitting across from him, as both sides

    Seraphina remained in that stunned position for a brief moment before a realization dawned upon her. Without hesitation, she dropped to her knees and said, “I thank the Lord for his generosity and promise not to let you down.” Her voice was filled with gratitude, fully aware of the immense expense tied to the resources she had requested—resources that were considered extravagant even by the standards of her previously affluent empire.Though she understood that Aron’s empire was on the path to becoming one of the wealthiest in the Conclave, with wealth likely surpassing what they could practically use, she recognized the significance of his decision. He could have chosen a more self-serving path, hoarding all the benefits for himself and his empire. Instead, he had chosen to invest in her, and that thought humbled her deeply. She resolved to make sure that his generosity was not misplaced.“Arise, we still have more things to discuss,” Aron said, a small smile crossing his face moment

    ".....there is no such thing as changing factions."

    Upon hearing the question, she looked at Aron as though wondering why he would even ask something so obvious. However, the expression lasted only a moment before she remembered that Aron was not from her civilization and likely lacked enough understanding of the Xor’Vaks to know there was no need to pose such a question."In our civilization, there is no such thing as changing factions. Once you join one, you are bound to it for life. That’s why factions only form around individuals deemed talented enough—those who, with sufficient resources, are believed to have the potential to grow strong enough to challenge the Grand Xor’Vak and win.Anyone who even considers switching sides would not be accepted by the opposing faction and would be branded a traitor, losing all trust. Such individuals would be cast out and might even face exile.So, although my situation is unique, those in my faction will remain loyal to me as long as I don’t explicitly tell them to leave.

    With Nova’s assistance in guiding Seraphina toward the “right” path and by setting the simulation she was in to maximum time acceleration, it only took a few hours in real time for her to come to terms with everything. In the accelerated VR, however, those hours felt like months, giving her ample time to process and reflect.Once she had fully digested the situation and logged out, Seraphina immediately asked Nova where Aron was, expressing her desire to meet him face-to-face for a conversation. Nova quickly informed Aron, and after receiving his approval, she relayed the information to Seraphina.Without delay, Seraphina boarded her ship—the same one that had transported her to the stadium for her fight with Aron, the one that had ended with her surrendering under her leader’s orders.The journey to the third line of defense took only a few hours, though it could have been faster if FTL travel were permitted. However, due to the current circumstances, FTL travel was prohibited within

    Aftermath

    If someone were to enter the simulation, they might assume a battle between two warships had occurred, judging by the extensive damage visible across the landscape. The ground was riddled with craters, some filled with water and others with lava. The vegetation that once thrived there was now entirely gone—either obliterated during the attacks or wiped out by their aftermath.Aron stood with his hands on his knees, his chest rising and falling heavily as if he had just finished an intense workout. His entire body was drenched in sweat, but beyond that, there was no visible evidence of the chaos that had unfolded—no scratches, no injuries. It seemed almost unbelievable that he had been a key player in the destruction surrounding him.Seraphina, on the other hand, was nowhere to be seen. If one could see through the terrain, they would find her massive dragon form submerged in one of the lava-filled craters. Her body was riddled with holes, yet she endured the molten pit as if it were n

    Technically.

    “They really are cunning individuals,” Aron said, a laugh escaping him as he observed the data in front of him. Amusement danced in his eyes, though it was tinged with a hint of disbelief. “I wouldn’t have thought to take it this far, but they’re really pushing the boundaries of what they can get away with under the mana oaths.”{I would’ve done something similar too,} Nova standing beside Aron as always remarked, her usual calm tone laced with dry humor. {But I wouldn’t have been so blatant about it.}Aron, who had just returned from a highly productive meeting with the Conclave representatives, had wasted no time. Instead of resting, he’d immediately logged into VR, eager to sift through the trove of knowledge he’d secured—a prize that had come at the cost of risking his own life.But what greeted him was not the seamless integration of knowledge he’d hoped for. Instead, he was faced with a chaotic mess: a collection of data encoded in wildly different methods, each unique to the ci

    “What’s on your mind?” Sarah asked as she emerged from the bedroom and noticed Felix sitting on the living room sofa, staring into space. Finally catching his attention, she settled next to him, her tone gentle but curious.They had followed in Aron's footsteps, marrying just a few years into their relationship, deciding not to delay any longer.“Nothing much,” Felix replied after a moment, organizing his thoughts before answering. “I was just thinking about the fight that took place—and everything that led to it in the first place.”“What do you mean?” Sarah prompted, intrigued, leaning in slightly to show she was listening.Felix exhaled, gathering his words. “Seeing Aron on the verge of death… it wasn’t just unsettling; it was terrifying. For a moment, I genuinely thought we were going to lose him. That fear made me think back on all the time we’ve spent with him—every memory, every milestone. And even though he regenerated and came back, that fear stayed with me, just in a differe

    "The next topic for discussion," the AI referee announced, her voice calm and deliberate, "is the establishment of a communication framework to seamlessly connect both sides. This will ensure the smooth execution of official duties, facilitate business transactions, and promote the exchange and integration of cultures."Her holographic form rotated slightly as if surveying both sides of the room, pausing momentarily to invite engagement. Then, she fell silent, allowing the attendees to take the lead in the discussion.Although she was formally guiding the meeting, her role resembled that of a highly advanced assistant. Her primary responsibility was to ensure that all key agenda points were addressed thoroughly and accurately recorded in the meeting minutes.“Can your side explain how you maintain communication between different civilizations and keep it active?” Aron asked, his tone steady but curious. He saw this as a valuable chance to clarify what he already knew—most of which cam

    Once the first handover process was concluded, the AI referee materialized a holographic screen at the center of the room. The screen flickered to life, displaying footage of Aron in the midst of his negotiation with Liasas. Without preamble, the recording began to play.“...is to remain outside the Conclave as independent allies, while also establishing a free trade agreement with no tariffs or blockades imposed against us,” Aron’s voice echoed through the room.The representatives of the civilizations seated around the semicircle exchanged glances, some raising their brows in surprise or mild dismay. During the negotiation period, they had been so confident in their victory that they hadn’t paid much attention to what Aron’s side was proposing. Now, they realized their oversight had come back to haunt them.Still, their expressions suggested that the terms, while inconvenient, were not catastrophic.
