Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 54: Chance Encounter
Dorothy walked towards the entrance of the registration building at a steady pace. She kept a cool expression when she was secretly seething on the inside. It was infuriating that she had been sent here instead of fighting monsters. If she wanted to raise her status in the family, she should be making a name for herself. Of course, the family head and heir were doing their best to keep that from happening.They must have felt threatened by her presence, considering how they had been sidelining her for over a year. It was thrilling to know that she was a possible candidate to become the head of the family, but it was frustrating how hard they blocked her path. If it had been a fair competition, she wouldn't be stuck here doing something anyone in the family could do.She barely glanced at the line that had formed. None of them were people she knew. No one from the seven families would have been forced to wait in line. If they were valuable, she would find out later. For now, she needed
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 55: Testing Procedure
"Do you understand?" the woman asked after finishing her explanation.Johnny nodded. The test was quite simple. He had to demonstrate his power for everyone to see what he expected. The problem was actually testing his power since he hadn't gotten a new power to use yet. As soon as he thought that, a screen popped into view. He hadn't expected to see the screen ever again and scanned the text.[The user has completed the following criteria: registering themselves as a blessed.][The user will now obtain one new power. Please select from the following.]Looking at the list of five powers he could choose from, he was both surprised and unsurprised by the list. All the powers listed were powers he had obtained during the test. He had thought the system would just give him a power based on the situation, but he supposed this was better. Now he had to decide which power was the best for his situation.Obviously, the fire power was out of the question. While it would be great to have it aga
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 56: End of the Testing Procedure
"How about you have someone try to attack me with the intent to hurt me?" Johnny said."What?" the woman said, staring at him as if he had grown another head."You clearly don't believe me, even though I've proven that I can tell what you're feeling. If you have someone come in from my blindspot, I'll be able to prove that I can sense their bloodlust," he said as he crossed her arms.Instead of saying anything or moving, she continued to look at him like she couldn't believe her ears. Well, he had to admit that he would also be just as bewildered if someone he thought was faking their power asked to be attacked. He would have thought they were insane or delusional and got security to deal with them. However, he was counting on it.Johnny didn't seriously think that she would listen to him and send someone to attack him. That's why he wanted her to call security to deal with him, and he would prove to her that he wasn't a fraud. Just like he expected, she immediately excused herself to
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 57: What to Do With Money
Dorothy rolled her shoulders slightly as she kept an impassive expression on her face. She was finally done with her job and could return home. There was no chance she would get to go on the field since they were probably finishing up now. It was frustrating, but there was nothing she could do about it. As she walked towards the exit, she noticed someone blocking the steps.She narrowed her eyes as her guard stepped forward and said, "Move."The man turned around, and she recognized him as someone who had been standing in line. That itself wouldn't have caught her interest if it weren't for the look in his eyes. He didn't look at her with awe or fear. Instead, he looked at her as if he were looking at her as if they were acquaintances. She didn't think anyone outside the seven families would look at her with such familiarity."Sorry," he said as he stepped aside.Her guard was about to demand that the man completely move out of the way so they wouldn't even be within a foot of each ot
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 58: Encounter With Ex Girlfriend
Johnny stared at the fallen cake before looking up at the smug look on the other man's face. Without hesitation, he punched the man in the face. Forget being calm and collected, the man deserved to be punched. The other man didn't seem to think he had the guts to do it, as he didn't react in time and collapsed to the ground with a bloody nose.His ex girlfriend stared in shock before screaming. "What did you do?"He stared unimpressed at her as he said, "You should have thought twice before messing around like that. You better pay for the mess you made."She scowled as she shouted, "Secruity. There's a crazy man here."They had already gathered quite a crowd, and the people were staring at them like they were spectacles. He sighed as he waited for the guards to show up. If he tried to walk away, it would only make him look guilty. The man on the ground got to his feet as he glared daggers at him. Johnny ignored it as the guards finally showed up with a staff member leading them."What
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 59: Chatting With Zoey
Johnny was able to get his shopping done without any more interruptions and exited the building when he heard someone shout. At first, he didn't pay any mind to what was happening behind him. It wasn't any of his business. It soon became his business when he heard the voice getting louder until he felt something grab him by the back of his shirt.Preparing for the worst, he looked behind him to see it was Zoey clinging to him. Confused, he stared at her for several moments before turning his gaze to his surroundings. Luckily, there was no one in the parking lot to see any of this happening. He could just imagine people stopping to stare and record what was happening. Johnny shuddered at the thought."What is it?" he asked, wanting to get it over with."We need to talk," she said.He frowned as he scanned his surroundings again to make sure no one had suddenly appeared to listen in on them. "Okay, but not here."She reluctantly followed after him. Johnny wouldn't have minded if she dec
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 60: Back at the Starting Point
Johnny didn't give the other person on the other end to speak and hung up. It really felt good to cut ties with them. Now that he was a blessed he could do other work that would pay him far better than the company could and provide him with a lot more benefits outside of what the government provided. Being a blessed was the dream occupation anyone could strive for.At least that's how it looked on paper. He frowned as he continued driving. Johnny had his doubts, given his experiences during the test. While they were most likely wrong on some parts, there were some parts that the system had to have gotten right. It wasn't hard to imagine those on the lower end being taken advantage of and then thrown away, but he wasn't going to let that happen to him.Pulling up in a familiar place, he stopped the engine and stepped out. There was quite a lot of damage with the blessed and police working hard to fix up the place. Surprisingly, the building he had been at was still in good condition. I
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 61: Bargaining to Stay
The man looked Johnny up and down. His eyes were partially judging him, and Johnny couldn't blame him considering how he looked. Johnny had only gone grocery shopping, so his wardrobe was still the same. In fact, he hadn't washed his clothes in over a week, so he probably smelled. The humiliation burned, but he had to suck it up.Well, that was in the past. He would no longer have to endure the humiliation of walking around in his dirty clothes. However, when he thought about it, it was odd that no one else had shown any signs of disgust. While he did his best to look as presentable as he could in clothes that hadn't been washed in a week, they couldn't have missed the smell.Johnny supposed it was their way of being polite. Rather than point out that he smelled disgusting and embarrass him in front of everyone, they minded their own business. That was probably the socially correct thing to do. Of course, this situation was entirely different, and Johnny could already guess what the m
