Sometimes Heart sees what is invisible to the eyes and it’s not always pleasant.
----------
“Do you see that, It’s him!”
A group of women holding glasses filled with red liquor, in what seemed to be a banquet hall was gossiping over something.
“You mean that handsome man over there?”
An individual among the group said, signaling her eye at a man who was sitting far at the back of the main table of the banquet.
He was quite a handsome man, who seemed to be in his early 20s, with dirty blond hair, pitch-black eyes, and a cleanly shaved beard, he seemed to be very charismatic.
“Yeah! He is the one, The shameless lover!”
But the things that were being said about him were not so sweet for the ears.
“He is a commoner that lived in the slums, not only that, I heard that he wasn’t even awakened!!”
The gaze of the people changed as soon as they heard that! Their gaze which was appreciating his handsome and beautiful face a minute ago turned into a cold and contempt-filled one.
The world was like that! Changing opinion based on the person's situation and condition! It has become pretty normal by now.
"Now that I see him correctly, he didn't seem that handsome at all"
"You feel that too...He seems like a country bumpkin"
"What a waste! Why did young Miss have to fall in love with such a person"
"If it isn't for young miss, he would have probably been a beggar!"
"It must have been nice for him, leeching off his girlfriend like that"
"Ahh...I would have rather be dead than living a life like that"
Their words were filled with contempt and criticism, and he could hear them even from the far back of the banquet...
'They aren't even trying to lower their voice at this point!'
Eren thought as he could clearly hear the women gossiping about him!
It has been a long time since he stopped giving attention to such things, but no matter how much he tried to ignore it, every time he heard others ridiculing him due to his origins and having a rich lover, every time he heard things like that, his pride was hurt!
Even then he endured all those things!
'Their words don't matter to me.'
He denied it every time, consoling himself, all for one person!
He endured everything just for the sake of his Love!
Julia von Rosental, the seventh daughter of the strongest man alive, Alden von Rozental, proposed to him on a certain day and they started going out with him.
For Eren, who was an orphan, this feeling of being loved by someone was very unfamiliar and he felt like he found something he had been longing for.
But little did he know that the status gap between Julia and him was too wide and that society wouldn’t accept their love.
But Julia didn’t give up and somehow convinced her father with the condition that Eren would stay with them as a son-in-law after marriage.
As Eren was an orphan, he didn’t mind that as he too wanted to feel the warmth of a family but instead what he got to experience was the hell of Rozentals.
He was humiliated, disgraced, and even abused for being in love with Julia.
It always hurt when they said that he was leeching off on his lover, not doing anything, at some point, he came to be known as the 'Toy boy of the Rozental family'.
Of course, they only talked behind his back at first, but as time passed, they got more courageous!
As the saying goes, ‘One who stays silent is the best prey for mouths'. They took advantage of his silence and it got to the point that they didn’t even bother to lower their voice when they badmouthing him!
If it was only the words they said, he could have endured it somehow!
It wasn't something new for him to face the contempt of people.
Being a lone man and growing up in the orphanage, he had survived in the harsh world without parents or anyone to support he had experienced things worse than this!
But the humiliation he felt was different! No matter how down-to-earth his life was, he lived his life with pride, Not relying on anyone, he was a man who grew through life with his own efforts!
But right now, such a person was reduced to so much as to be called one who was leeching off his lover?
He would have somehow endured this if it was only limited to their harsh words!! But it wasn't.
A man with pitch-black hair and a gentle look on his face appeared in front of Eren, holding a glass of red liquor.
"Eren, come to the washroom quietly"
He whispered in Eren's ears acting as if he was straightening his collar.
Eren who heard him flinched, and he lowered his head!
The young man gave a gentle smile as he walked off.
Eren who was now standing with his head down near the food table was trembling!
He was trembling with fear!
The voice of that young man reminded him of countless experiences that he didn’t want to remember!
After standing there for a minute, he went to the washroom as the young man asked him to!
He went through the long hallway and opened the door of the washroom!
boom!
But as soon he opened the door before he even had the time to look ahead, a bottle that seemed to be filled with handwash liquid hit his face.
"Argh!!"
He screamed in pain, covering his face, and was about to back off
but two men appeared behind him out of nowhere pushing him in!
"You piece of Shit! How dare you make me wait"
Eren who fell rolling on the washroom's floor raised his head looking at the owner of the voice.
It was the same man who asked him to come to the Washroom!
But unlike his face which gave off a gentle vibe before, his face now was filled with anger and arrogance!
His face was distorted and looked like a demon in anger, Eren instinctively covered his head, trembling!
"Look at this pussy! trembling like a worm, ughhh! It disgusts me the more the longer I watch him!"
The young man kicked him in the stomach, spitting on his face in disgust!
"Arr..ppfff!"
Eren wanted to scream at the pain which felt like his insides were bursting apart, but he swallowed it inside knowing the beating is only going to increase if he screams.
"You were enjoying the party very much, aren't you? Do you think you are worthy to even enter the party hall?"
The man continued kicking him again and again as he went out all his frustration!
"Just cause my sister bought you home, you think you are one of us?"
The young man asked as he pulled Eren closer to his face holding his hair.
"Remember! Scum like you can never be part of our family! You are just a toy, that my sister bought home because she liked it!"
The beating continued afterward, He kicked him, punched him, and beat him up until he felt relieved!
At some point, Eren had already lost consciousness, not being to endure the pain!
The young man backed down straightening his clothes and hair seeing that Eren was no longer responding!
"Scarlet"
He called out and not long after a young woman with green hair in a maid outfit entered the washroom.
"Yes Sir!", She bowed to him as soon as she came inside, she looked at the mess that he had caused and at the unconscious Eren at one side!
"Heal him and take him to his room, if sister asks anything, just tell her that he had too much wine and tripped in the washroom"
He walked away saying that as if he had nothing to do with what happened there!
Scarlet looked at Eren as a pained expression appeared on her face, she clenched her fist in anger and a killing intent leaked out of her eyes targeting at the young man who was walking off.
But before anyone could notice it, she quickly managed to hide it and said in calm tone.
"Yes, Sir"

Eren who came out of the luxurious car, stood marveling at the dungeon portal that has formed in the middle of a forest.

The driver he bought was still standing in the distance as he ordered. Actually, Eren told him to go back but the man refused, saying it was his duty to take him anywhere he wants. “Julia, Scarlet, and this stupid driver…. My life isn’t completely bad I think” He murmured as a smile unconsciously found its way onto his face.

Ding! [The User has reached level.1] He still couldn’t believe his eyes. “What the hell is this?’ He repeatedly swung his hand in the air, checking if he was dreaming.

She knew that Eren wasn't a man who would joke on serious matters like this but even then, she asked if it was a joke. Eren in turn didn't say anything but gave a warm smile. Eren 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, Eren 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 Eren himself, then why...? "You...!

"What? stop blabbering and tell me what you really want?" Aden couldn't probably believe that his son-in-law, who was literally locked in his own room for almost three years now, wanted to return to his hometown. He just thought that he wanted some money to play around with and was beating around the bush not knowing how to ask him. "That is really all I want" Eren couldn't possibly say that he wanted to train secretly for about three to six months until he feel safe himself so that he could survive in the midst of the ' Monsters of Rozentals". "Why?" The reaction he got was scary. The look on the face of Aden Von Rozental was distorted. He looked very scary at the movement. Eren instinctively took a step back and dug his fingernails into the skin. "Why would you say that?" Aden made Eren change his last name to Rozentals as the condition for agreeing to their love, because he didn't want his loving daughter to go to some no-name-named family, and since Eren was an Orphan,

(In the office of Aden von Rozental after Eren left) A butler entered the room holding a vase and started pouring wine into the glass. “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. Aden took the glass taking a sip. “Ah...! It’s too sour, I wish it were 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” Aden 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

Eren's mind raced as he absorbed the revelation that the Fire Dragon, Ugram, was bound by a sacred pact to protect and aid the Pendragon family. The implications were vast and hinted at a deeper conspiracy that had plagued his past life.His thoughts turned to the decline of the Pendragon family in his previous life. He recalled the tragic event that wiped out his entire family, leaving him as the sole survivor. It had been a night of chaos and destruction, with the fire dragon going on a rampage, nearly destroying the empire.But the fire dragon was now telling that it wasn’t the one Eren pondered the events, he couldn't shake off the feeling that there was more to the story. The pieces didn't fit together neatly, and there were gaps in his memory, as if some crucial information was intentionally hidden from him."Ugram, I believe there was a traitor among the Pendragon household in my past life," Eren began, his voice firm and resolute.

"What kind of nonsense... aren't you the one who gave it to that rabbit?"

Without wasting any time, Eren mentally prepared himself and felt his body warm up instantly.His condition level was at 98%, and the drop rate was noticeably slow due to his high condition."I have to catch all the rabbits and turn them over," Eren thought determinedly.

When Eren heard that Mr guy was participating in the test, it was the first way that came to mind in Eren’s mind.‘It’s close to impossible for me to find it myself. So, borrow the opponent’s hand again this time.’In fact, it was an operation that could have failed if the opponent was not Mister Guy, a rather talkative evaluator.‘But still, I thought if it’s Mister Guy, he would spit it out at least once in a fatal situation.’In other words, he will surely spit out the word promise when he finds Tori, the situation assumed as the spell.The prediction was completely correct.Of course, it would have been better if it was just before catching Tori, but the situation is not bad now.“See. It’s my victory. No matter how many praiseful situations you’re going to throw in, I also have all the means.”The doubtful Eren, who confirmed that there was no star-shaped dot as a result of flipping the first rabbit’s belly, marked it with a pen and jumped toward the second, feeling anxious for s

13 minutes could feel incredibly long or incredibly short, depending on the person. Mister Guy let out a short sigh as he watched Eren in the distance, struggling to catch and number rabbits all on his own."It's such a shame. This was supposed to be a special test, and there must have been some good growth. But rules are rules," Mister Guy muttered to himself.He began walking towards Eren, his long legs carrying him effortlessly."It seems you misunderstood, Mister Eren. Unfortunately, luck wasn't on your side," he said, disappointment evident in his voice.Mister Guy knew firsthand just how challenging the rabbit-hunting, thief-catching test was. It was even difficult for him, and he had the support of the powerful God who watched over the test from above. Without their help, it would have been impossible to create such a difficult test for an E-Rank promotion evaluation."I didn't expect that person to pay attention to him so soon," Mister Guy thought, setting aside his thoughts a

The fight between the two armor knights, similar in specifications, no, and completely the same, lasted quite a long time.Eren expressed admiration, feeling the passion and romance of the man in the appearance of armor knights who exchanged fists with each other even when their teeth were all broken and their whole bodies were in a state of exhaustion.“Wow, it’s not easy. Not easy.” He really wanted to see who would win, but unfortunately, he couldn’t afford it.‘Condition 18%.’He had to organize it so that he could deliver the final blow.They fought among themselves, but their experience belonged to Eren.Eren, who had unconscionable thoughts, swung a counter punch at each other and approached the ‘Sun Knight’ first among the knights who went backwards with their heads bent.He was struggling to force his upper body, but the speed was quite slow.Thanks to this, Eren, who was quite comfortable and climbed over the knight’s head, asked.“Are you Star Knight?”To be honest, he cou

"Is there any way to bring it down?” Eren thought as he looked around him. “A spacious living room. Tools or situations that could harm the armor knight..." It's difficult to come up with a solution. The empty living room provided the perfect environment for a fair one-on-one match. "What's next? A weapon that only I can use..." It's not that he don't have it. However, using it would require consuming a significant amount of stamina points that I've been saving for future use. "Now is the time to save my stamina. It might be better to bypass the general difficulty level promotion review." [Condition: 56%.] Prolonged consideration seemed to be making the situation naturally worse. "Why create a monster that I can't even defeat? It's a proof of rank?." Of course, it might imply enduring as much difficulty as it presents. Is it right to give up at this point? I don't have to risk my life to clear the extreme difficulty. It wouldn't be a bad idea to go back and choose the norm

The intense battle, though short, was far from easy. The floor was now littered with broken and split cleaning tools. What surprised Eren was that despite the battle, only a small portion of the wallpaper was torn. However, he focused more on swiftly knocking down the cleaning tools, even with his heavier body, to prevent any further attacks."It's good that I've been training consistently," Eren thought, realizing that his body's muscle memory helped him react instinctively, even though his movements were slower and his mind was clouded.The system message displayed his current condition: 32%. It showed an improvement of 2% from before."Knocking down about 50 cleaning tools increased my condition by 2%? It doesn't seem very efficient, but it's better than nothing."He also realized that he couldn't simply walk through the mansion without caution. Every item seemed to be a potential threat, as even cleaning tools were moving.With heightened tension, Eren cautiously made his way thro
