2024-10-29 19:42:56"Uggh!!"
A man who seemed to be in his late 20s, with dirty blond hair, pitch-black eyes, and a cleanly shaved beard woke up holding his head! By the look of it, he seemed to have woken from a terrible nightmare.
"Where am I?"
Eren slowly got up from the bed he was laying on, looking around himself.
He was inside a huge room with a luxurious bed, on top of which was lying. Everything in the room looked rich and lavish! Be it the tea table near the window or the matrix on the floor, everything screamed grandeur.
The cleanroom which was free of even a speck of dust was painted in a white and golden combination giving it a gleam of royal characteristics! Some may even think of it as heaven!
But Eren's face paled seeing his surroundings!
Beads of sweat started to form on his face.
This place...it was nothing but hell for him!
"I am here again?"
He said, trying to get out of bed.
But before he could, the door of the room opened as a green-haired young woman entered.
"Ah! Master, you are awake? please excuse me."
Eren who was trying to get out of bed, settled down to see her.
she had a plate filled with fruits in her hands, and she took them to the table at the side, starting to cut them for him.
"Scarlet"
Eren called her out.
"Yes, Master?"
"Julia...she....", he turned his head down as he was about to ask something.
But as if she had expected it, Scarlet answered before he could even finish the question, "Young Miss doesn't know anything, she is out for some work currently, Master"
Eren sighed hearing that!
Even though he was a pathetic man who was humiliated every day, he didn't want his lover to see his disgraceful side.
But then again Eren was tired of all this!
The humiliation that he had to face every day, this disgrace of living as a corpse, he was fed up with it!
"I am just a worthless piece of shit, ain't I? Scarlet"
Scarlet who heard him suddenly talking like this was surprised but she turned her head down, not being able to answer anything.
Eren smiled faintly at her silence!
'Do I really have to live my life like this?'
He was already at his wit's end just trying to endure all these humiliations! He didn't know until when he would be able to endure all this.
He had endured all the humiliation for his lover till now, but he was not confident he could do the same in the future.
He was afraid!
More than enduring the beating and humiliation, he was afraid to face Julia if she was ever to find out about what he was going through!
Being the good heart she was, she would blame everything on herself for his sufferings!
He wouldn't be able to endure that! He was afraid of seeing her in pain.
'Rather than making her sad, it would be good if I just disappear!'
Love is blind, they say. Maybe that was true, Eren who loved Julia more than himself was ready to sacrifice himself for her sake.
Her position in the family has already decreased much because she brought in a commoner as her lover, and he didn’t want to be a further burden for her.
With a firm resolve, he decided on something as he looked at Linda.
"Scarlet, Call Ircus, I want to go somewhere"
Eren had decided, he was not going to live this shitty life anymore.
Scarlet was silent for a movement but nodded her head nevertheless since she had to follow whatever her Master says.
“And bring me a pen and paper”
Scarlet stopped for a second before continuing to walk out!
"I will do so Master!"
She left the room saying so and shortly afterward she bought a pen and paper, and went out to inform Eren's personal driver, Ircus about her Master’s call!
Eren got busy writing the letter that he didn’t even realize how much time passed until someone knocked on the door!
"Master, I have come"
A man wearing white pants and a white shirt like a typical driver had arrived waiting for him at the door.
Eren, who heard him went out, departing from the huge mansion he was staying in.
Getting inside the car, he said to the driver, "To the moon fox Dungeon"
The driver was taken aback by what he said, he turned around looking at Eren, "But Sir..."
"To the Moon Fox Dungeon"
Eren repeated firmly which made the driver flinch.
Succumbing to him, the driver started the car heading towards the Dungeon of moon fox.
With Eren departing from the house, only the letter that he left on the bed remained as his last message to his lover Julia, until they meet again if that might be!!
****
The Dungeon of Moon Fox.
It was an F-rank dungeon, normally the newly awakened people would visit this F-rank dungeon to gain experience and raise their level!
The monster there was only slightly stronger than those of wild animals. So, it wasn’t especially difficult or something for awakeners to defeat them, For awakeners that is!
The driver was also taken aback because of the same reason, Eren was non-awakened, and he don't have any work there!
It would have been indeed so if Eren hadn't decided on awakening!
Yes, that’s right! Awakening, though it was not something that can be artificially achieved, from what the researchers’ data says, there is a slight chance for people to awaken in extremely dire situations.
Though it only happened to a single person in tens of thousands of people, it became a hope for Eren.
So, he decided to hold onto that last ray of hope.
And of course, there was no better place to create such a situation than a real dungeon.
If something went wrong, there was a chance that he might die, but he still wanted to try that. If he wished, Eren could have tried this by borrowing the help of Julia’s family, but he didn’t want that, he had decided that he will no longer live a life like that.
"Death with Dignity is better than a Life with humiliation"
He decided that he was going to go back, living his life with pride.
"No more."
He decided that he wouldn’t endure anything more than he had already!
“I may die, I may awaken, whatever the result, I wouldn’t regret doing this!”
He murmured as he saw the dungeon entrance portal while sitting in the back seat of the luxurious car.

Eren who came out of the luxurious car, stood marveling at the dungeon portal that has formed in the middle of a forest. It looked like a pitch-black space covered by blue energy! “This marvelous portal could very well become my grave…haha” He said sarcastically, giving a wry laugh at his own fate! 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. Even in the middle of all his sufferings, there were still some kind and honest people because of whom he could endure that hell. He was getting emotional remembering all that... But suppressing his further thoughts he walked near the portal, there were some people from the ‘Awakener’s Association’ that managed the portals! As soon as they saw Eren, a man cam

Eren rubbed his eyes two to three times seeing a black window that popped out in front of him out of nowhere. “What the….?” A black window with golden-colored words was hovering in front of him. 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. "Did I finally go crazy” He himself was having a doubt, that if he had gone crazy or something, but no matter how much he tried to deny it, the window in front of him was still there! “I finally awakened!” Unable to control his tears, he finally burst into tears! “Damn!" Words weren’t coming out of his mouth at his happiness! All this time the humiliation he faced! The criticism and the dirty gazes he got… ‘Wait for me bi*ches!’ He didn’t even know what to do but he was sure of something… “I am gone f*ck you all…..” He screamed as loud as he can, releasing all his frustration at once!

Be it the tea table near the window or the matrix on the floor, everything looked luxurious. The cleanroom which was free of even a speck of dust was painted in a white and golden combination giving it a gleam of royal characteristics.

"Dear...you...you awakened? Are you joking now?" A look of disbelief appeared on Julia's face as soon as she heard Eren saying that he has been awakened! 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...! Did you go to the dungeon putting your life at risk to awaken? were you that desperate?" Eren froze! Right, as an awakened herself,

"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
