2024-10-29 19:42:56(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 when I have the ability to only eat sweet things?”
His words were like a puzzle questioning himself about the past!
“Your words are filled with discrepancy! Are you worried about Roger?”
The butler asked, unlike how the normal butlers addressed their employers as Master, he was talking with Vincent casually as if they were old friends.
“Worried, Me? Hahaha”
He started laughing hearing the butler.
“Did you know why agreed to marry him to my daughter even though he was an Orphan?”
He asked as if he was expecting an answer from him.
“Isn’t it because your loving daughter liked him?”
“Bullshit!”
He got up from his chair walking towards the window!
“Even if she loved her, I wouldn’t have let her marry an Orphan”
He looked out of the window, “You know when I ran a background check on him, I was quite surprised”
A look of disbelief appeared on the face of the butler, “Don’t tell me…”
“hahaha…. That was how I felt when I first found out! But I was quite disappointed seeing that he was an un-awakened, but…”
“Just because a Tiger cub hasn’t awakened, it doesn’t become a cat, right?”
The butler got silent for a movement “so the reason you sent faker was to protect him?”
He asked as he was reminded of a black shadowed figure that left the room before he entered with tea.
“Protect? Utter foolishness! A man should learn to protect himself”
He laughed seeing out of his window into the distance.
“I just want to see what the Tiger cub is trying to do”

“This is tough!”
Roger said as he sighed seeing the black window in front of him.

________
He was sitting in his usual place beside the window and was checking his skills.
Previously he had passed out just before he could check his skills but now that he was seeing them, He didn’t know what to feel about it.
[ Resentment(lv.1):
The resentment toward those who have wronged you, when the skill is activated, you will enter a berserk state, and all your stats will increase by 50% temporarily, giving you a boost. When the skill is activated, you will be numb to pain.
Duration – 2 min
Cooldown – 3 hr
Mana usage – 1000]
[Devotion to Revenge (Passive):
For a man will buy Revenge with his Soul! As long as your drive to seek revenge exists, you will not fall. The skill will increase the most needed stat at a particular time based on the situation temporarily.
(Caution: An equal amount of sacrifice would be made in the process)]
[Hateful strike (Lv-01):
Fill your weapon with hate and anger dealing an extra 100% damage to the enemies. There is a chance to inflict various effects based on the user’s emotion.
Cooldown – 10 min
Mana usage – 500]
[An Eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth (Special skill):
The will to return what you have received! This skill will perfectly copy the skill of the enemy that has been used to attack you and will return it with the same efficiency and power, the skill has the effect of ‘Unable to dodge’ which will hit the target without fail.
Note: The user must be hit with the skill before activating the skill.Cooldown – 12 hours
Mana usage – Half of the mana reserve]
[The Eye of Vengeance (Special skill)(Passive):
My eyes are filled with Vengeance, what it sees is revenge nothing more nothing less. Will enable the user to see the information of status window of others, provided that they must have or should bear grudge towards any others.
Cooldown – none
Mana usage – none.]
Roger sighed seeing the status. He didn’t even know if the skills were good or bad.
Coming to the first skill, Resentment was a top tire skill like that of a Berserk of fighter class, but the downside was that He would enter a berserk state where his judgment and control over his body would be clouded and not to mention the effect of being numb to pain, though it may seem good at the surface, but when it comes to fighting others if he can’t feel the pain his sense would be dull, which would obviously decrease his dodging rate. And the thing the enormous mana usage, fu*k! A single skill requirement was about 2/3rd of his whole mana.
Of course, it would work out as he levels up, but he would better use it as less as he could.
Coming to the second skill, it was actually a passive skill. Normally awakeners would be happy to have a passive since it didn’t consume any mana or any other resources but Roger only felt fear seeing the skill, It was a good thing that the skill would increase one of his stats when needed but he was terrified with the sacrifice that was mentioned.
He was already having a whole bunch of thoughts of “What ifs….” In his mind.
Leaving that aside, Hateful strike was the only decent skill he had! Though not much it would increase his attack power by 100% dealing double damage, and if he manages to attack critical spots, this skill was somewhat useful, though the random status inflict was of concern.
Coming to the special skills, “An Eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth’, was the top tire skill even among the special skills.
It was just too Overpowered, based on how he used it! Imagine if he somehow managed to withstand the dragon breath and use this skill, Man! That would be too powerful, well, considering that he would survive after getting hit by Dragon breath that is!!
Cough!
Roger was already having beads of sweat just imagining the pain he had to endure to use this skill!
Anyway, the last skill! It was actually the most superior and most stupid skill among all the ones he got!
Seeing the information of others was something that everyone in the world wished for but till now only two people were ever found to be able to do that, of course, it was with some restrictions!
But what mattered right now was that Roger had become the third person who would be able to see other’s states, but he wants without any restrictions either, there was a stupid condition attacked to it, which said that the target he was watching must have a grudge towards someone to be able to see his status!
“Seriously all the skills have so many restrictions how the hell am I going to use them, fu*k! Are these skills really useful?”
[What are you expecting all of them to be overpowered skills? There is nothing like that, if there is no risk, then there is no gain]
The system also seemed to have come back to its usual work of annoying Roger.
Roger who heard it just ignored the statement; he was already used to its tantrums in the last three days!
By now, he understood that it was useless to argue with it, so he just gave up!
“The preparations are complete, Master”
Right, when he was about to get up from the chair, a voice was heard behind him, it was Linda informing him of the completion of preparations to go to his hometown.
“Right let’s….!!!”
Roger got up from his chair and turned around only to freeze seeing the sight in front of him.

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

Without saying much after his interest-piquing words, Roger with Linda entered the association. The media also exploded as a result of his surprising words, and numerous predictions concerning what his words implied started to arouse all around the country. While Roger was obvious to any of that, He went on his way to take the test. Shortly afterward they were greeted by a lady in formals and were led to the examination point. "Only examinees are allowed past this point!", the lady said politely. Roger who understood her, turned to Linda, "Wait in the reception, I will be back after the test" Linda nodded her head, "good luck with the exam master, I am sure you will get a good score" Roger smiled at her entering the examination center. It was an enormous hall with many chairs placed in an orderly manner at a certain distance apart. Roger was led to his seat and was told to wait until the examiner arrives there. Not long after a man holding a set of papers entered the room, He

"I want to take both the tests, Sir" Roger said standing in between the two groups! Joshua who was about to start examining the candidates looked at him. All the other cadet's also turned towards him as they found a new cadet wanting to take both tests surprising. 'Is that the famous Useless Son-in-law of the Taylors?' He thought looking at Roger. 'He wants to do both the Physical test and skill manifestation test? Usually, it's recommended to focus on only one... Is he trying to show off now? ' He glared at Roger thinking that he is using the chance to show off, but Roger didn't back down, he stood his ground against the S-rank. 'Well, it's none of my business!' "Come forward, we will do your test first" Honestly, he just wanted to get done with the test and go home, He was already too tired that he didn't want to even argue with anyone.

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
