2024-10-29 19:42:56(Back to when Roger and Hestia were having a conversation)
"Dear...You Awakened? are you joking now?"
A look of disbelief appeared on Hestia's face as soon as she heard Roger saying that he has been awakened!
She knew that Roger wasn't a man who would joke on serious matters like this but even then, she asked if it was a joke.
Roger in turn didn't say anything but gave a warm smile.
Roger was expecting her to be astonished.
He thought she would be shocked at his awakening and would be happy, but what happened wasn't something he had thought of!
Tears rolled out of her scarlet eyes as her face turned red, Roger who saw her starting to cry again got agitated...
"Dear...why are you...ok...ok...calm down...Calm down..."
He was confused as to why she started to shed tears again all of sudden.
was she unhappy that he awakened? that's impossible, she would be happier than Roger himself, then why...?
"You...! Did you go to the dungeon putting your life at risk to awaken? were you that desperate?"
Roger froze!
Right, as an awakened herself, Hestia knew better than anyone, what it took for a person to forcefully awaken.
If Roger had attempted such extreme measures, then she would obviously predict that something that drove him that desperate must have happened.
he wanted to say that wasn't the case but the words stuck in his throat!
"I am sorry Dear, even when you are...."
Roger didn't know what to say, he knew that she would have done everything in her power to prevent such things if she had ever known about his situation but the reason she didn't, was because he kept her in the dark about his sufferings!
He didn't know what to say, But He also couldn’t bear her blaming herself for everything so he just embraced her tightly.
"I am sorry..."
That was the only thing that came out of his mouth!
***
It was after about an hour that he was finally able to calm Hestia down. They decided to keep his awakening as a secrete for now, but he wasn't spared her scolding.
At last, he was spared by making a promise that he wouldn't do anything reckless from now on.
A warm smile spread on Roger’s face just thinking about his wife.
"Now that situation has resolved, it is time to plan the next move"
Roger had somehow managed to calm down Hestia, but the problem didn't end there.
'He would have probably known about everything that happened by now.'
Vincent Taylor, The strongest man on earth, the head of the Taylors, the guild master of the number one guild. He had many titles, but the one that was most famous was... The merciless Blade.
He was a man who didn't show any mercy to his enemies.
There was nothing that he didn't know, he had eyes and ears all over the country, maybe even outside the country...
So, it was very likely that he would have already known about what Roger did.
'It's better to meet him first rather than waiting for him to come to find him.'
Vincent wasn't called Merciless Blade for nothing. If Roger gets on his bad side, then there was no telling what would happen.
The last thing he wanted now was to annoy him.
Now that he had finally awakened, he didn't want to do something that was reckless.
'Besides...'
There was something that he wanted to talk to him about too.
Roger got up from his usual seat which was just beside the window of his room and looked outside from there.
His room was on the 2nd floor of the mansion, rather than a mansion, it was right to call it a fortress!
There were hundreds of magic formations and defense-type spells that were cast on it all the time, more than 30 B ranks, and at least 10 A-rank awaked stationed there to engage in combat at any time. and above all else, Vincent Taylor, a man who has gone well and beyond the S rank.
Even if an S-rank dungeon spawns out there, it wouldn't be hard for them to raid it, or in the extreme case, they would at least be able to hold until the reinforcement arrives.
"It would be difficult to go out in the future"
Now that he had done something stupid, his freedom would obviously be going to be limited in the future.
It wouldn't even be even surprise if they decided not to let him out at all.
It would be difficult for Roger if that happened.
Now that he had obtained the system, he had to actively participate in dungeon raids and raise his level to increase his powers.
‘As I thought I need to talk to him soon.’
Roger decided as he called out Linda.
"Yes, Master, what can I do for you?"
Linda arrived shortly standing in front of him.
"I want to meet Father-in-law tomorrow"
He said sipping the tea from the teacup which was as usual designed lavishly in the form of a soaring dragon.
"What!!"
Linda was utterly shocked, to the point that she would have dropped the teapot in her hand if she wasn’t careful!
Well, it was normal for her to give that reaction, It has been already been three years since Roger had come to the Taylor family, but the last time he met with his father-in-law was…. well, he didn’t even remember meeting him.
I mean it was also understandable since Roger who was a non-awakened didn't have anything to do with the strongest awakened man on Earth.
"Didn’t you hear me?"
Roger asked, his voice didn't contain any anger towards her nor did it have any kind of expression!
Linda came back to reality hearing his voice, as expected of a maid from the Taylor family, she soon calmed down as she replayed.
"I will make the necessary preparations, Master!"

(In the room of Vincent after Roger left)A butler was pouring wine into the glass for Vincent.“This is a wine called, Heavenly pleasure, apparently it is made of the dungeon grapes that were recently discovered in the S- rank dungeon that our guild raided”, said the butler still pouring the wine.Vincent took the glass taking a sip.“Ah...! It’s too sour, I wish it was a bit sweet”He kept the glass of wine on the table, “I think I would better have the wine that was fermented for a decade rather than this!”“It seems you are unusually in a good mood today, Master”The butler said taking the cup away.“You can say?”“You never turn down alcohol if you are not in a good mood, and you seem to hate having bitter things when you are in a good mood”Vincent smiled at him “Hmm..10 years ago I believed that having bitter things will what mature you…”He looked at the portrait of the woman which was kept on his table, “But now that I think about it, why did I think of having bitter things w

Awakened! They were the last ray of hope that guarded humanity against the monsters and dungeons. Though they started to awaken irregularly after the great disaster, there were too many unanswered questions about them. How did they get their power? what were the conditions to get that power? and how can they become strong? there were just too many questions to list. But after long and tedious research, scientists have managed to answer some of them. How did the awakened get their power? It was due to the presence of mana which was previously absent on the Earth before the great disaster. And about their power...Except for some rare cases that happened once in a while, most humans would awaken as an F rank, but the power of an individual would differ largely based on the skills they would awaken. Normally, an average awakened would have two normal skills and the strong awakeners would have two normal skills in addition to a single special skill. The people with special skills w

Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 13 - Appearance of an Irregular
"Noah Taylor...? Why is he here'' Park hyungsung, the report that was waiting for Roger in the parking lot said to see a familiar face in the center of the gathering. Noah Taylor, the 6th son of the Taylors, although not as popular as his other siblings, was quite a popular person. He was a C- rank awakener, although C-rank may seem good in the eyes of common people, the descendent of Taylors being in the C-rank even after 8 years of awakening was shameful for Taylors. 'I didn't think there would be a bigger headline than the Awakening of Useless son-in-law!' It was only before a week that he got a call, informing him that Roger Taylor would be there on Awakener's association for registering himself as a Hunter, Even though Roger is considered a worthless son-in-law by the Taylors, the World nonetheless deemed him as a Taylor, so it was natural that any news about them would be trending. Reporter Park thought that it would be a major headline about his awakening, but seeing as the

Noah Taylor, a kind and warm person, at least that's how the world has known him. 'There can't be anything more contrast than that', Thought Linda seeing Noah Taylor in midst of the reporters. With black hair and brown eyes, he was quite a good-looking man, who would leave a good impression at first sight! But the reality couldn't be any further... He was an outcast among the Taylors, being born as the second child of Vincent Taylor's third wife, he was treated as a worthless tool. All the nine children of Vincent Taylor, except Noah, were genius who excelled in various fields. He was like a rotten apple amidst the fruits, though the apple may seem like a luxury for commoners, a rotten fruit nonetheless was disregarded. Even though he was a C-rank hunter at the age of 25, he wasn't given any attention by his father or family. It was precisely because he was overshadowed by the monstrous talent of his siblings. Amidst his monstrous siblings, he was seen as nothing but ordinary. A

20 minutes after Roger started running while chasing the pathfinder light that appeared, he arrived at a cliff.And when he looked down, there Roger saw a Hobo goblin, which was the boss monster of the dungeon sitting on some kind of a throne while being surrounded by some of the normal goblins.Just as Roger looked at the monster, the hobgoblin also noticed the presence of Roger and turned to look up.Grahhhh–The horrible shriek of the monster was heard as it looked at Roger.Roger felt as if his ears were going to burst and covered his ears with both his hands.But there was still a small smile on his face.‘If I had gone through the left path, it would have taken me at least 50 minutes to come here while fighting off the monsters but now thanks to the skill upgrade, it was almost reduced by half!’Thinking as such Roger held the spear in his hand and jumped down the cliff without wasting any more time.‘Wind Stride’He used the wind stride but he didn’t use it to slow down his fal
